He watches as Allison charges, the Swede raising his gun and he tries to prepare himself for what's about to come next. And then he hears her words, echoing his own sense of rage and grief at a world that won't let them all survive. His mouth twitches and he raises his gun to fire.

The Swede catches his sudden movement too late to stop it, but the bullet Five sends through his forehead sends one last nerve pulse to his trigger finger and his gun fires wide.

Five drops his weapon and turns to look at his siblings. All looking shell shocked. For a moment nothing happens and he begins to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Klaus, who is holding his hand over his chest as if he's been startled lowers it. "Ow," he says, almost child-like and Five can see the red splatter of blood on his skin above his leather vest.

God damn it.

"Klaus?" Vanya asks, reaching out for him and catching him as he falls. "Klaus!"

Five balls up his fists, pulling on the energy that isn't there. He doesn't even have enough to spacial jump across the barn by Klaus's side. His breath stutters and stops as he realizes he can't go back this time.
