HAVANA, CUBA

Dom and Eliza are checking out cars, more specifically one with a boat engine. Domonique is sitting on the hood of her car while Letty stands between her legs. Letty points at a car with a smile, causing Domonique to smile before she kisses Letty on the neck which cause Letty to giggle.
"Moni! Dom!" A woman calls as she rushes over to Dom before speaking in Spanish. "It's your cousin. He's in trouble. Come on!"
"You know I can't make a living without my car," Their cousin, Fernando, tells a man named Raldo.
"Not my problem, bro," Raldo states with a shrug before he sees Domonique with her arm wrapped around Letty while Dom and Eliza follow them. "The famous Toretto twins, Dom and Domonique, I heard about you two. Welcome to my island."
"Why you hookin' up my cousin's car?" Dom asks the man, who is attaching a chain to his cousin's car.
"He needed money, I gave it to him," Raldo answers Dom with a shrug. "He can't pay, I take the car."
"I just need a few more days," Fernando pleads as he looks between Raldo and Dom.
"'Few more days' wasn't part of the deal," Raldo says with a shake of his head.
"Come on, Fed. You make a deal, you gotta live up to it," Domonique tells their cousin with a shrug.
"You make a deal, you gonna live up to it," Raldo repeats causing Domonique and Dom to look at him.
"'Gonna' live up to it?" Dom asks him with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, so you're one of those types. You take everyone's ride, and then ship it back to the States?" Domonique says with sarcastic humor.
"You should show your people some respect," Letty says in Spanish with a smirk.
"You watch your mouth," Raldo says as he points at Letty with a glare.
"Ay. Now you got a problem," Letty says with a smirk as  Domonique turns to face the man.
"I'm gonna keep it about the cars," Domonique says as she points at Raldo with a hard look.
"I'm really scared," Raldo sarcastically says in Spanish.
"You want a car, get it the right way," Domonique tells him with a shrug.
"How?" Raldo asks her with a raised eyebrow.
"Race for it," Dom answers him with a smirk.
"I already own it, bro," Raldo states with a sarcastic smirk.
"Not that car," Domonique says as she points at their cousin's car before turning to point at her car. "Mine."

"Moni, his car is the fastest car on the island," Fernando says quickly while shaking his head

"Moni, his car is the fastest car on the island," Fernando says quickly while shaking his head. "Do you know what he has under that hood?"
"He knows it doesn't matter what's under a hood," Dom tells his cousin. "The only thing that matters is who's behind the wheel."
"You think so?" Raldo asks him with a raised eyebrow.
"I know so," Domonique answers him with a nod.
"Then race his car," Raldo challenges her as he points at Fernando's car. "And we ain't racing no quarter-mile, here. We race the Cuban mile."
"Done," Domonique says accepting the challenge, causing the crowd to cheer.

"I appreciate what you're trying to do," Fernando tells Domonique as Dom takes the hood off of his car. "But my car is the slowest car on the island." Dom takes the bumper and fenders off of the car.
"Was," Dom tells him. "Pull the seats, the doors, the battery. If it ain't the motor, take it off."
"Laughing gas?" Fernando asks as Eliza and Letty walk up with a blue canister.
"Nah, Fed. This is Cuban NOS," Letty answers him with a smile.
"You guys are crazy," Fernando says before taking a drink of his Coca Cola. "What are you going?" Domonique takes the tab off of the coke can.
"Poor man's turbo," Domonique answers him as she puts the tab around a tube. "Pull the vacuum line and hold on." Domonique looks at Letty with a smile. "Old trick the Buster used to play, in case of emergencies."
"You know that's way too much boost for that engine," Eliza tells her with a smirk.
"It's gonna be fast," Domonique says as she connects the tube back.
"It's gonna be a bomb," Letty argues with her with slight worry.
"Only needs to go a mile," Domonique tells her with a smirk, causing her to smile. They go to the starting line before Letty, Eliza, and Fernando are given bikes so they can go ahead to stop traffic.
"Are you ready for this, my family?" A woman asks in Spanish as she stands between the two cars. "This is Havana!" The crowd cheers. "Be fast. Be safe. But don't be last. Racers ready! Vámonos!" The drivers take off with Domonique slightly trailing behind Raldo, who bumps Domonique into a pile of trash as they turn. Domonique turns her NOS on as she quickly catches back up to Raldo, who tries to bump Domonique into oncoming traffic but Domonique swerves out of the way. Letty, Eliza, and Fernando jump a hill before blocking traffic. Domonique and Raldo drive past before Letty, Eliza, and Fernando take off again toward the finish line. Letty, Eliza, and Fernando stop as the other bikers pass them, not going to the finish line.
"Where are they going?" Fernando asks as he looks at Letty and Eliza.
"I don't know. Let's go!" Letty answers before they follow the other bikers. Domonique and Raldo bump into each other before driving down two different streets. Domonique and Raldo meet back on the same street. One of the bikers runs his bike out into the street causing Domonique to run over the bike which slows her down.
"Okay, Buster. Let's see if this works," Domonique says to herself before pulling the wire attached to the tab which pulls the tube loose. The car speeds up really fast causing Domonique to catch back up to Raldo. The engine on Domonique's car catches fire, causing the windshield to bust from the heat of the fire. Domonique quickly turns around, driving in reverse before hitting the NOS again. Domonique and Raldo are even as they approach the finish line before something explodes in Domonique's engine causing her to take the lead as they cross the finish line. "Look out!" Domonique yells at the crowd as she realizes that she doesn't have any brakes. Domonique quickly turns the car before jumping out as the car flies into the water. The crowd, especially the kids rush over to Domonique. Letty looks at Domonique in shock before she picks a kid up smiling at her. Domonique smirks at Letty as the crowd cheers for her. Domonique puts the kid down before walking over to Raldo.
"A deal's a deal. You won my car. And you definitely earned my respect," Raldo says handing his keys to Domonique, who looks over at Letty, Dom, and Eliza at the respect part. Letty smiles at Domonique as they both remember Brian's first race. Dom gives Domonique a small nod as he smiles.
"Keep your car," Domonique says as she pushes the keys back to Raldo. "Your respect is good enough for me." Letty walks over to Domonique before they wrap an arm around each other. "Yo, cousin. Sorry about your car." Domonique throws her keys to their cousin. "Yours was too slow for a Toretto, anyway."
"Your car? Are you serious?" Fernando questions her in shock before turning to the crowd who cheers.

Domonique is looking out at the view from her and Letty's room, while thinking about her and Letty's future. Domonique knew it would be a lot of work before the house in LA was back in loving condition. The house would end up being Dom's though Domonique planned on helping with the rebuild. When Domonique was in the Dominican Republic, she had Mia help her buy place out in the middle of nowhere. At the time, Domonique had planned on her and Letty settling down there but their lives went crazy. Letty walks over to Domonique, hugging her from behind causing Domonique to smile as she leans into the hug.
"Beautiful," Letty says before pressing a kiss to her shoulder. Domonique turns to face Letty before lightly kissing her while Letty slides a hand behind Domonique's neck. Letty deepens the kiss by pulling Domonique closer to her. Domonique quickly spins them, pressing Letty against the wall as they continue to kiss passionately.
"Jump," Domonique tells Letty before she does as told. Domonique carries Letty over to the bed as they continue to kiss. They fall onto the bed because Domonique wasn't paying attention, causing them to bust out into a fit of laughter.
"Look at that smile," Letty says after they finish laughing. "I love it when you smile."
"You make me happy," Domonique tells her as she moves some hair out of Letty's face.
"Mmm, I think this place makes you happy," Letty explains with a smile. "It's like it speaks to you."
"Yeah, but it won't ever be LA," Domonique answers her with a sigh.
"Hey, we'll have a place of our own soon enough," Letty says as she squeezes Domonique's hand to reassure her. "And maybe one day, some little feet running around."
"Is that what you want?" Domonique asks her, knowing that she wouldn't be able to give her a kid but they could look into adopting.
"It's not about what I want or what you want. It's about why we haven't asked the question," Letty answers her, causing Domonique to nod in understanding before she kisses Letty. Domonique sighs in happiness as Letty snuggles into her side. Domonique knew that as long as she had Letty then she would be happy, no matter where they are in the world.

The next morning Domonique leaves the room before Letty was awake, to go get them some coffee and have breakfast with Dom. On the way back, Dom and Domonique come across a lady trying to get her car to start. Dom tries speaking to her in Spanish.
"What?" The lady asks him confused.
"Do you need a hand?" Domonique asks her with a smile.
"Yeah, I think I do," The lady answers her with a nod.
"Sounds like you're not getting any fuel," Dom tells her as he walks over to the car.
"Yeah?" The lady asks confused.
"Probably the shut-off solenoid," Dom explains as he looks at the car. "Let's see if we can get some power to it."
"Our family is very into vehicles," Domonique quickly explains with a smile as she walks over to Dom.
"What brings you both to Cuba?" The lady asks as Dom works on the car.
"The same thing that brings everyone else to Cuba," Domonique answers her as Dom smiles. "Culture, people, the beauty. What brings you to Cuba?"
"Work," The lady says.
"Must be casual Friday," Dom jokes with her.
"How's that honeymoons going?" The lady asks as she leans against the car, taking off her sunglasses.
"Your fuel relay is missing," Dom says as Domonique looks at her shocked.
"I know," The lady says as she holds the fuel relay up.
"I love to play games. I've beaten the best of 'em," Dom says as the lady walks around the car, putting the fuel relay back. "But we're kind of in a rush, so if you've got something to say to us..."
"Oh, this is a very different game, that I can assure you both," The lady tells them as she walks back around Dom. "This... There's something much greater at work here. This is fate."
"I choose to make my own fate," Domonique says as she slightly glares at her.
"Not today," The lady states before looking around. "Is this the road you take to your apartment every morning? What else is different, Moni? Was Santiago's closed? Did you have to cross two blocks to go get your Cuban coffees? What is it, black, no sugar?" Domonique looks at her slightly shocked. "Yeah. I put a lot of work into getting you here today. But you both being together is a bonus."
"Well, now that we're here, what do you want?" Domonique asks the lady as she crosses her arms across her chest.
"I want you both to work for me," The lady answers her simply with shrug, causing Dom and Domonique to share a 'is she for real' look.
"Work for you?" Domonique asks her as if she is crazy. "Oh, I could've saved you a lot of time, then. See, we don't work for anyone."
"Neither of you can walk away from this," The lady says as Dom and Domonique turn to walk away. "We're going to have this conversation, one way or the other. You see, that's the funny thing about fate." Domonique turns back to look at her to see if she is for real. "It's cunning. It can bring you beautiful things, and it can also bring you moments like this, Dom." The lady pulls a phone out before holding it out to Dom, who walks back over to her. Dom takes the phone before the lady hands a phone to Domonique. The lady stands between them as they each watch the videos on each phone. "Oh, you're both gonna want to work for me. You're gonna betray your brothers, abandon your code, and shatter your family. You see, your team is about to go up against the only things they can't handle."
"What's that?" Dom asks her as he doesn't take his eyes off of the phone he is holding.
"The Toretto twins," She answers him as she walks around him. "Oh and, I wouldn't mention this to anyone." The lady gets in her car before driving away as Domonique finally looks away from the phone that she is holding with tears in her eyes.
"I'm going to kill that bitch," Domonique says as she looks over at Dom. "Even if it's the last thing I do."
