The safehouse air was thick with the smell of old paper and dust, the only light a single bulb swinging above the worn table. Five Hargreeves sat amidst a chaos of files, his suit jacket discarded, sleeves rolled up.

His hand, holding a faded photograph and a birth record, went very still. Diego's shadow fell across the table as he approached, his tone low and certain, delivering a fact that shattered the known timeline. The last Romanov wasn't just a historical footnote; they were here, now, and Five was looking right at their file.
