(They are in a ballroom, Blade is guiding Kafka in the dance, she wears an... unforgettable dress)
Kafka: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(They are in a bedroom, hugging each other)
Kafka: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(Kafka is at the top of the flying car, shooting at twelve IPC flying cars pursue them; she's wearing a wedding dress and is heavily pregnant; inside Blade is wearing a suit, Silverwolf is wearing a maid of honor dress and the Trailblazer is there, also wearing a suit (they're enemies, but he couldn't deny them a favor))
Kafka, shouting: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(They're in the tropical paradise of Jaci-IV, far from the eyes of the IPC; Silverwolf is in the beach, babysitting after Gregory and Joseph; Blade is sitting down in a chair, while Kafka is sitting down beside him, breastfeeding Josephine)
Kafka, gently: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(They're in Gregory's graduation ceremony, he's now a biologist; they're wearing disguises to avoid the IPC agents there)
Kafka: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(They're at Joseph's funeral; he died saving people from a plague as an assistant nurse, at Tacoma-X; the Trailblazer convinced the IPC to cut them a break)
Kafka, with weary eyes, hugging Blade: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(They're in a jail, thankfully not an IPC one; the guard is watching Josephine's show, she's singing for at least three star systems; it's a bit distant , but they can still watch it; Blade has his arms crossed behind bars, but Kafka is waving two pieces of toilet papers as if they were light sticks)
Kafka: Promise me, forget everything about tonight.
...
(They're in the front of a star ready to explode; in the horizon, a titanic battle between the crew of the Astral Express and an abomination takes place; Blade has Kafka in his arms; her hair is white, her face is old, it's been months since she opened her eyes, but she's still smiling; Blade still remains the same as he was all those years ago)
Kafka: Bladie...are the children okay?
Blade: Yes, they are safe and happy.
Kafka: Bladie...how many times I asked that?
Blade: 95.
(Kafka remains in silence; in the horizon, the Astral Express managed to break through and deal a critical hit; Kafka holds his arms much tighter)
Kafka: Bladie...I don't want to forget. I'm so scared, Bladie.
(He sees the Astral Express taking off, while the reaction expands; he remembers Elio's script)
The explosion will involve both the Inexistence and the Destruction. I don't even need to see the future to know that it's metaphysically impossible the Abundance resist both. It's been an honor saving the universe with you. Farewell, my friends.
(Blade holds Kafka tighter, holding her hand)
Blade: Just a little more, my dear.
(Kafka's smile grew a bit; Blade also gives a small, satisfied smile as the reaction engulfs and obliterates everything in its path)

"I'm glad you found a family." -Amiee
"W-what... those guys?" -Eliot sputtering
Yes, Eliot. Those guys. The very same guys who you couldn't walk away from. The same guys who get on your nerves- but for some reason you protect. Those guys who have you wrapped around their fingers. Who remind you that your smarter than you think.
Those guys as in;
Nate who needs protecting from himself.
Sophie who needs protecting from her past.
Hardison who needs protecting from his mind.
Parker who needs protecting from the monsters she's lived through but are still around.
You, Eliot- you big teddy bear- decided they were worth it. So you stayed for them. You sir, stayed because they needed you.
Those guys are your family.
