Allison's eyes are wide as she watches Vanya and Five, a familiar mix of fear, guilt, and awe churning away as her sister's power flows out and around them. It's hard to look at Vanya when she uses her power, knowing that she had been the reason none of them knew about it. That Reginald had used Allison in the worst way possible, and made that manipulation feel natural and right.

She lets that wash away as Vanya's power fades and the color returns to her face, and Allison allows herself to just be happy for now, because her sister is. It changes Vanya's entire demeanor, and Allison knows she'd had a part in dampening her joy, too.

It's easy to smile and blink away the tears in her eyes, let them be thought a part of this moment as Vanya takes her hand. Allison is overwhelmed, and that is because of Five's gesture. That's all it needs to be, for now.

"I know," she says with a deep breath, and she laughs again to let something out, to loosen the knot in her chest. Allison puts an arm around Vanya's shoulders and pulls her into her side for a brief hug as she stares up at the building with her. "If we have to be stuck here, then at least we'll be stuck here together. We'll probably start fighting over chores in about two weeks, but until then...it'll be perfect."
