And completing the circle, was Diego, whose light radiated right behind his ribs, higher than Five’s, more around his lungs. Ben’s light felt colder than the others, yet just as bright as it burned where his stomach would have been.
Oh, and that must be Ben that Klaus’s light had latched onto like a shadow. Klaus’s glimmered in as strange a place as Five would’ve expected from his brother: his feet. There was Allison’s star, burning bright, up where Five had just seen her head, while Luther and Vanya each shone steadily, light blanketing their entire bodies-Vanya’s light dim with overuse. They had their own stars of light, of warmth, burning within, and all six of them were still with him. Yet as they shifted again, he realized with relief that he could sense them.
Best not to turn everyone into children or rip their consciousnesses from their bodies. He wasn’t sure any of them had bodies anymore-just a little important. In this space between moments, they shifted in his grip, though he could no longer feel their hands linked with his. He had seen their destination from the very start, just like last time, and was happy to let himself be pulled against the current, so he could concentrate on keeping his siblings intact. But just as when he had traveled to the day of the funeral, something was towing him along to when he wanted to go, something inexplicably trustworthy.

The world around them was full of shards of conversations and concerts, a jumble of overwhelming sound. Unlike traveling with a briefcase, the trip didn’t feel as instantaneous as it should have, as he struggled to keep them all floating in the right slipstream. Then, just when Five thought he was going to split himself in two, they broke through the ice and plunged into the depths of time. But there was only fiery death waiting for them if he did, and he hadn’t lived forty-five years with his sole mission being to save his family from the apocalypse to give up at the last moment. It was all he could manage not to scream or collapse or worse, stop. He was sure he was squeezing Allison and Diego’s hands hard enough to leave bruises. But now he pushed the light up, up, up and out to cover all seven of them, despite how much doing so hurt. It was a strange sensation: usually the light sat, warm, inside of him somewhere around his diaphragm until he wanted to use his ability, in which case he stretched it out across his body or pulled it into his hands, allowing him to push against the fabric of space or time and slip between the folds. He could feel them though, not only as his physical grip on Allison and Diego’s hands, but through the very light encompassing them all. The shimmering blue of Five’s powers had grown to a blinding luminescence, to the point he could no longer see his siblings.
