[ 'The plan.' He barely manages not to scoff and shake his head. Allison knows he sounded more confident than he has any right to be, more than usual when he at least had a grasp on what they're up against. Now he's in a position he's never been in before.

She knows more than he does. There are probably a lot of details she doesn't even realize are important to tell him. Or that she's intentionally misleading him about, as much as he hates to think that. ]

Is there anything else you're leaving out?

You went AWOL for a while with Lila. I don't know what happened while you were gone.

[He didn't share. Go bug Lila about it.]

You're not really a sharer.

[ The look he gives her is the look of someone who doesn't completely buy that she's not deflecting. What she says does track though. Apparently the two of them were trying to jumpstart a briefcase. He just didn't have to time to get the context with Lila. ]

Wish I could tell you. [ Whatever they tried, they obviously failed. Looking at Allison, he honestly can't blame her for being angry and desperate.

He's only just hearing about it and he feels like he's on the verge of a breakdown. Another one. ]

Aren't you lucky, you survived another apocalypse.

[rumorate]

Lucky me.

[Her voice is dry, because man she would love to be able to be free and just live her life. Maybe she will, when she finds out what's on the other side of that button. But until then, she just needs to keep looking forward, rather than back.]

Now we just have to survive this one.

[ He said it flippantly, but there's something so completely soul crushing to know that's what's waiting for them. They're stuck in an endless cycle where every time he tries to save the world, he only makes it worse.

He flexes his jaw and tamps down his emotions, giving Allison a nod. Only a matter of time before one of them ends this one too.

What can he say? There's a chance to rewrite history while they're still removed from that timeline, but he doesn't know where to start. Just thinking about it nearly shakes his steadfast resolve that he was going to get them all home. He doesn't want to believe this is as good as it's going to get. ]

Well I don't know about you, but after that news, I need a drink.

[ It's an offer if she wants. There's still booze back in the apartment but there won't be by the time Five gets to it. ]

[Allison nods, because yes. She could one hundred percent use a drink right now.]

Yeah. Let's go.

[Hopefully they'll find somewhere to drown their sorrows.]
