Extra Information: Viisi means Five in Finnish. Five and Y/n were partners in the commission. They look seventeen or eighteen instead of thirteen. This one-shot takes place on the last episode of season one, and the entirety of season two.

----

The Academy, Five's home, has just collapsed--courtesy of Vanya's new powers--and Five ordered his family to meet at Super Star Lanes bowling alley to come up with a new plan of action.

He grabs your wrist, blinking you with him. You're both in front of the bowling alley in a flash of blue.

Five takes a moment to pace around, not entering the building. The crisp, spring air bites at your earlobes as you hug your sides for warmth

"Hey, Viisi, can we go inside?" You look at him with a grimace and a pleading smile. He whips his head in your direction to glare at you, then strolls inside with a roll of his eyes. You follow in his stead.

The interior is heated, thankfully. Five informs the underpaid worker that his "parents" will be arriving shortly to pay for his bowling shoes. He takes a seat adjacent to Lane 6 and you sit next to him.

"So, how was the farewell with Delores? I know you two were close." You lean back in your seat, getting more comfortable while waiting for Five's siblings to arrive.

He does not look at you. His jaw ticks in annoyance, mistaking your genuine curiosity for mockery.

"Come onnn, I know you're stressed, but this is your sister. I'm sure she's reasonable enough not to end the world." You turn towards him, leaning your elbows on your thighs and admiring his pretty face.

"No, it's not that." He scoffs, looking at you with a sneer.

You notice that his tie is crooked so you reach out to fix it, like you often do. It's sort of your thing.

He smacks your hand away and you raise an eyebrow.

"You okay Viisi?" You rub your hand a little, surprised. Normally, he lets you fix his tie with no problem. Although, he would grumble about it a little.

"God- No. I'm not okay." He puts his hands in his hair, gripping it slightly with an exasperated expression. "And stop calling me that."

"What?" You breathe with a smile of disbelief. "What's going on? Did something happen- Did I do something?" You lean away from him a little to give him more space.

"Stop, just stop it with the touching and the nicknames. I'm sick of it!" He looks at you with cold eyes. This is very unusual of him.

You cock your head to the side, trying to understand. "Five, I thought- I thought that was our thing! Y'know, the friendly banter and-"

"I know you're desperate for some sort of relationship with me, but I'm here to tell you that it's not going to happen. We were only ever co-workers." He says through gritted teeth, avoiding your eyes. "I'm telling you to stop pursuing me." 'Pursuing' him?

Usually you would brush this sort of behavior off, ignore it. Tell yourself that it's only because he's stressed. He's always stressed! Thinking back, he was never all that nice to you. Even in your Commission days.

You'd tricked yourself into thinking that maybe he thought you were special, or that you were at least his friend. His confidant.

You look at him with eyes full of hurt, which Five has never seen from you. He almost feels something bubbling up his throat, but the feeling dissipates quickly. "Have I made myself clear?" He says evenly.

You only nod, turning away so he doesn't see the tears prick at your eyes.

Five's siblings come inside and you two don't speak to each other again.

A year and seven months later (for you, at least.)

1963, Dallas Texas:

Five anxiously pulls at his tie after narrowly escaping three armed Swedish men. He had just watched his siblings, along with you, blow up in yet another nuclear explosion. It's left him oddly shaken up about how he treated you back in 2019.

He's pacing down the alley-way between the Commerse and Knox when he notices a flash atop the roof. A large camera of some sort.

A brown haired man closes his window briskly. That's strange.

Five teleports inside, scaling up a flight of stairs with cat-like agility. When he knocks on a door, the one beside him answers, revealing a mouse-y looking man in his early thirties. He looks at him with big, expectant eyes.

"What do you want." His tone is dripping with suspicion.

"Hi, I'm selling encyclopedias for my youth group. I was curious if-" Five gets a door to the face. He huffs, blinking inside after him.

The man, Elliot, jumps, yelping in fear and pulling out a butter-knife from his drawer of kitchen utensils. "H-how did you do that?" He hesitates, astonished.

Five looks at him with amusement. "Don't really have time to explain."

Elliot runs a hand through his unkempt brown hair, gripping the butter-knife in a feeble attempt to protect himself. "You from the Pentagon? Huh?"

"Definitely not."

"CIA? FBI? KGB?"

Five eyes up the kitchen, noticing a coffee pot on the other side of the room. "Is that fresh?" He uses his powers again, blinking himself right in front of the coffee pot.

Elliot screams, whipping his head back and forth between the place Five just was and the place he appeared. "What..." He pants, eyes wide.

"Elliot? You okay?" Five hears a faraway voice from another room. A familiar voice. "Who's with you?" It asks.

You appear from around the corner, presumably from Elliot's bedroom, looking almost two years older.

Five furrows his eyebrows and so do you. He breathes out your name is what you almost register as relief. But, you know better then to think that.

"Oh, Five. You're back." You say casually, nodding and crossing your arms. Five sets the coffee down, unwillingly noticing how you didn't call him by his nickname.

"How long have you been here?" He walks towards you, looking at your slightly different features. You changed your hair, he observes. He says nothing about it.

"A year and a half, I believe." You tap your chin in thought. Elliot glances between you two with interest or surprise.

"You two know each-other?" He puts the butter-knife back onto the counter with a small clatter.

You nod, shrugging. "We were co-workers." You send Elliot a reassuring, genuine smile.

Co-workers. Five doesn't like how the word rolled off your tongue.

He licks his lips, looking away. "You live here?" He asks you, although it was a silly question considering its obvious answer.

You nod with tight lipped smile, approaching Elliot. You fix his hair with your fingers and flip the collar of his flannel back down. "Did he scare you? I told you he could be a bit much."

Elliot exhales a shaky laugh at your words and actions as Five begins to feel a hot, frothy feeling in the pit of his stomach. He changes the subject. "Are my siblings here too?"

Elliot answers for you, looking back towards the teen again. "The other six anomalys- The power surges." He begins to look excited at this new discovery. "They're your siblings?"

Five ticks his jaw, ignoring him. "So they're alive..." He begins to pace around. "I think I stranded them here. Now listen to me..."

"Elliot." You tell him his name.

"Whatever, alright? I got ten days to find them and save the world." He points to you and Elliot. "Now, I need your help to do that."

Elliot is just so happy to be involved, his three year long project finally achieving some major development. He scrambles to find a certain newspaper scrap from his desk drawer. "You know what? I, uh..." He fumbles with it, handing it to Five.

"I always thought that this, uh, mugshot looked like arrival number four."

"Diego." Five reads softly, then he twists around to face you. "You're coming with me." He states.

You hiss awkwardly through your teeth, avoiding his eyes. "Ohh, about that... Actually, Elliot and I were about to play Scrabble. It's Scrabble night."

Five narrows his eyes at you, barking your name. "The world is ending and you're just gonna play Scrabble with this homebody?"

Elliot looks at his dusty wooden floors with a look of dejection.

"Uh, yeah. That's exactly what I'm gonna do." You lean against the door-frame with a bored expression. "I thought you wanted me to stop following you around like a lost puppy."

Five feels strange. "You know what? I don't need this." He blinks away to search for Diego.

When Five returns from the strip club, after a failed attempt of recruiting both Luther and Diego, he decides to test something. His fingers reach for his tie, pulling at it and skewing it. Perfectly crooked.

You couldn't resist fixing his tie, he knew this.

So why didn't you? He finds himself uncharacteristically frustrated about your unresponsiveness.

As he demands that Elliot develop his Frankel Footage, his eyes trail to you occasionally, silently tempting you to straighten his tie.

Your eyes flicked to it once. However, you made no move to adjust it.

Five heaves a dramatic sigh, angrily fixes it, and leaves to look for Vanya.

He messed up before, he realizes. He feels like shit.

I just want everyone to be dumbfonded by this real life Disney princess

Request by: Anon

*not my gif*

Summary: Viktor finally introduces you to his siblings

A/n: This kinda sucks, sorry

Please don’t plagiarize my work, you may reblog if you like but I’m asking that you don’t steal my hard work

“Guys,” Viktor cleared his throat, almost nervously, “I want you to meet my daughter, Y/n.”

All of his siblings froze, their eyes snapping over to where he stood in the doorway of the living room, watching as he gently beckoned to someone from off to the side.

Slowly, you shuffled into view with your head hung low, eyes flitting up to everyone in the room for a second before immediately skirting away again, “Hi,” You whispered shyly.

“D-daughter?” Diego stuttered out, unable to wrap his mind around the fact that his own brother had a child he never knew about.

“Not biologically!” Viktor immediately assured them, “But a few years ago she was left on my doorstep with a note talking about how her mother didn’t know anyone else that could take care of her.”

Allison raised an eyebrow, “Do you know her mother?”

Viktor shook his head lightly, “No, no, it’s not like that. It’s-“

“I’m like you guys,” You blurted out, face reddening at your own words.

Fives eyebrows shot up, “Like us in the way of having special abilities?”

“Exactly like that,” Viktor confirmed, reaching over and rubbing your back comfortingly, “I was going to tell you guys about her during dads funeral but then everything happened and I never got the chance.”

“Ooh!” Klaus squealed, bounding over and scooping you up in his arms, “I have another neice! Which isn’t saying much because I never met Claire, but-“

“Put her down, you moron,” Five hissed, sauntering over and slapping his brothers hands away, “You’re probably making her uncomfortable.”

You shook your head a little bit, “No, it’s alright.” You whispered.

“So, kid,” Diego said, bracing his arms on his knees as he leaned forward, “What is it that you can do?”

And all at once, you seemed to crawl back into your shell and your eyes averted themselves to the ground once more where you were kicking your shoe back and forth slightly.

“She can talk to animals,” Viktor told them for you, “It’s okay,” He whispered just for you to hear, “They’ll understand.”

You looked up at him for a moment, reading his eyes, before shyly looking back at your aunt and uncles and whispering, “I can also sing.”

“What do you mean by that?” Luther asked out of pure curiosity.

“It’s like a Disney movie,” Your father offered helpfully, “She can’t control it, but it happens a lot where she randomly breaks into song.”

It’s silent for a moment, one that had you holding your breath and your heart hammering from not only anticipation for how they would react, but from sheer embarrassment of it all.

“That is so cool!” Klaus suddenly exclaimed, “Show me! Show me! Show me!” He was bouncing up and down like a child.

Relief flooded through you like a tsunami wave and you cracked a small smile at the fact that they weren’t weirded out or disgusted by what you could do.

“She can’t control it,” Five hissed before rolling his eyes at the man, “God, don’t you listen to anything?”

“That is so cool!” Allison agreed, walking over and crouching in front of you before embracing you gently, “And it’s very nice to meet you, Y/n.” A chorus of agreements sounded from the rest of the siblings.

Your grin widened as you made eye contact with your father, who grinned widely at you back. Not just you, but he too had been dreading and been so nervous for how today was going to go that when it actually went well, it felt like a giant weight was being lifted off of your shoulders.

It was a nice day in the fall. The sun was shining, the wind wasn't too strong. People were walking around the carnival with smiles on their faces.

An older man smiled as he saw this and proceeded to set up is concession stand.

He was whistling a small tune as he did so, his favorite time of day was when he came to work. He liked to keep himself busy.

The whisting came to a stop when a broom snapped on the side of his stand, then started hearing a scream. He looked in the sky before jumping out of the way and the next thing he knew the body of the cleaners fell into his stand.

He quickly went and told the security guard what had happened though the security guard was skeptical when he said the man was pushed.

Until he saw the body. He pulls out his walkie and starts to yell into it.

"Excuse me, officer but I believe we can of assistance."

"Who the hell are you?"

The man asked as he turned to find the Umbrella Academy; Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus and Ben. This was their second mission and they felt more than ready to take on the task at hand.

"It's your Eiffel Tower, it's gone insane and must be stopped at all cost."

The man looked at the kids like they were crazy, he had no time for children and their made up games.

"Allow me to introduce my subordinate, Number Three."

Luther holds his hand out and gestures to Allison with it.

Allison turns to face the crowd of people that happened to be surrounding the Eiffel Tower.

"Citizens of Paris... I heard a rumor that the musee d'orsay is giving away many of its finest paintings. They're also serving Crepes."

The crowd of people ran past the children in the direction of the art museum. Luther praises Allison and now that the area was safely cleared out, the kids activated their belts that gave them the ability to fly. Reginald thought this would be the perfect time for the kids to test his new invention before he sold it off.

"Spread out and attack!"

The kids nearly dodged a beam that came from the tower. Above them was a helicopter with the umbrella symbol on it. There, Reginald Hargreeves and Vanya sat watching the action.

"Dad?"

Reginald makes no move to acknowledge her.

"Why can't I play with the others?"

He didn't respond but she knew what he would say if he did. She frowned as she watched her siblings fly over the tower.

"Where's Number Five? I don't see him down there."

Five had been gone for days now. Ben, Klaus and Vanya had gone out to find him but he had vanished without a trace.

Today was not that day.

Vanya began leaving out his favorite sandwiches hoping that one day he'd come back.

"The future I presume..I can't be sure nor can I be bothered."

There was not an ounce of emotion on his face. Sometimes Vanya thought he was more machine than human.

"Why don't you go and play your violin?"

They had been there for a while. Arrived at 8:15 am, Almost shot out of the sky around 8:52 am and now at 9:04 am, Ben was using his testicles to try to tear down the Eiffel Tower but currently he was distracted trying to keep Klaus from falling into the gears below them.

"Any bright ideas now, fearless leader?"

Diego glares at Luther.

"You're slipping Klaus!"

"Don't let go! I'm trying to contact a dead engineer from the spirit world. He can tell us how to stop it!"

"Save your breath we're all gonna die!"

Diego yelled at the two annoying Luther.

"Why don't you shut up!"

He flew up and wounded his fist back and punched the tower with enough force to snap it in half. The others quickly flew a little bit away as the tower came crashing down.

"Show off!"

Diego pouts earning an eye roll in return. Luther punched through the control tower giving them a way in. Inside they find the person they were looking for.

"Just as I suspected— Zombie Robot Gustaye Eiffel!"

"Maudit Enfants!"

Ben stares at the man in shock.

"Alive after all these years!"

"Not for long!"

Diego quickly pulls out a knife and throws it before Luther can tell him not to. The knife collides into Eiffel's head forcing him off of his feet. His body lands on the different levers behind him.

Sparks start to shoot out of his head.

"Initier la séquence de lancement!!"

"EVERYONE OUT! NOW!"

The kids jump out of the building trying to get away from it.

"What's happening?!"

Klaus yells and Luther answers.

"I think it's taking off."

"But why?"

Allison looks to him for answers once they finally get to safety. The kids turn to look at the Eiffel Tower, it starts to lift off the ground and towards the sky.

"That's because it's not a monument, children. It's a spaceship."

The kids turned to look at their dad who was now standing behind them.

"While you have lost the Eiffel Tower, you did save Paris and you know what that means?"

"The Key to the city." The governor states.

"Free ice cream for everyone, one scoop each." The ice cream parlor said.

The kids cheered each one running towards the ice cream stand well everyone besides Luther.

"What's wrong, Number One?"

"When I grow up...I want to go into space."

"And so you shall, Number One..."

He places a hand on Luther's shoulder.

"So you shall..."

���🏻🗣️💪🏻🗣️💪🏻🗣️💪🏻🗣️💪🏻🗣️💪🏻🗣️💪🏻🗣️

Luther wakes up to his alarm he turns it off gets dressed and knocks his head into the light bulb hanging from the ceiling. He walks past Allison's room to look past the hall before turning back to knock on her door.

"Hi."

"Hey."

Allison continues packing her clothes away. Luther is silent for a moment, he wants to talk to her but he's afraid that she's still upset with him. She's the only one he really cares about wanting to appease.

"You know it's funny. I've had the same routine for the last four years. Now that I'm back down here, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself."

"I know the feeling."

Allison chuckled slightly but her eyes still weren't meeting his.

"Well, you must be eager to see Claire, huh?"

"I didn't think it was possible to miss a person this much. But I've got some things I need to do before I can see her."

Luther walks up to Allison believing it was okay because she didn't turn him away.

"You know someday, I'd really..."

She pauses her sentence as she looks up to meet his eyes for the first time today.

"Love for you to meet her."

"Me?"

"Yeah, you."

Allison chuckled again.

"Why not?"

"Well, does Claire even know about me?"

Luther asks timidly.

Allison eyebrows furrowed at his question.

"What are you talking about? Of course she knows about you."

"I know, it's just that, when you left, it felt like..."

Luther shrugs.

"All you wanted to do was forget this place ever existed, so..."

Allison crosses her arms and nods.

"This place, yes. But not you."

The two stood there in silence just staring at the other before Allison broke contact.

"When Claire was little, I used to read her books about the moon. I'd tell her her; her uncle was living up there."

Allison smiles as she looks back up at him.

"That he was... Protecting us from harm."

The two laugh together and Luther's eyes brighten.

"Really?"

"I mean, you were...her own personal superhero."

Luther nods with a smile feeling happy about the thought of Allison talking about him with her child. It made him feel good.

"You know, after all this time, I know she would love to meet you."

Luther paused for a second just staring at her not knowing what to say. So he settled on....

"Uh, Dad's monocle is still missing, so I can't just forget about that."

Allison let out a sigh at him mentioning Reginald again.

"Dad died because his heart gave out, Luther. Don't turn his death into a mission."

Luther frowned at her words not understanding why his siblings weren't on his side.

"Is that what you think this is?"

Allison searched her mind for the right words before placing her hand on his shoulder.

"I think there's a reason why you never left."

Allison searched his eyes for a moment before leaving the room.

👻🐙👻🐙👻🐙👻🐙👻🐙👻🐙👻🐙

Klaus lies on the couch with a twisted look of terror written all over his face. He starts to mumble something in his sleep as he shivered before waking up abruptly, he shivered in fear as his brother watched him from a few feet away.

"You know you talk in your sleep?"

Ben's eyes follow Klaus as he slides to the floor and starts to look around.

"There's no point."

Ben said softly.

"You're out of drugs."

"Shut your pie hole Ben."

After realizing he snapped he looked at Ben.

"Said with love."

He blows a kiss towards his brother.

"I got a crazy idea. Why not try starting your day with a glass of orange juice or some eggs?"

"I can't smoke eggs."

Klaus lights up a cigarette before walking around to look for something to sell. Ben sighs as he stares at a wall feeling concerned for his brother.

Pogo cleared his throat as he entered the room, Ben smiled at the sight of him while Klaus jumped in fright.

"My apologies, Master Klaus. I have a query for you."

"Oh?"

His eyes brows raised in question before the chimp began to speak again.

"Some items from your father's office have gone missing. In particular, an ornate box with pearl inlay"

Ben turned to look at his brother with disappointment in his eyes.

"Really."

"Really? You don't say."

"Any idea where it went?"

Klaus figured that Pogo wouldn't be asking if he didn't already know but did he want to be honest about it?.....nope.

"No, no, no. No idea. Sorry."

"Liar."

"Dropdead."

"Low blow."

"Would you shut up?"

The last sentence caused Pogo to get offended though he didn't show it as he thought the comment was directed towards him.

"Excuse me?"

Klaus instantly spoke up trying to correct himself and attempt to deflect more from the stolen items.

"The contents of that box are....priceless. Were they to find their way back to the office. Whoever took it would be absolved of any blame or consequences."

"Oh, well, lucky bastard."

"Indeed."

Pogo said in a firm voice, he stared at Klaus for a few more minutes making him feel an inch of guilt in the pit of his stomach.

⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳

Five gripped onto the eyeball in his hand as he stood in the lobby of the lab. His gaze hardens as he looks around waiting for someone to address him.

A man walks out dressed in a lab coat. His brows furrowed at the sight of Five standing there.

"Uh, can I help you?"

Five turns around at the sound of the voice behind him. He took a second to look down at the eyeball before showing it to the man.

"I need to know who this belongs to."

"Where did you get that?"

"Why do you care?"

Five instantly got defensive and glared at the man, the scientist took a moment to study Five trying to figure out the best way to have him give up the information.

After realizing he probably had to say something Five answered.

"I...I found it... At a playground, actually."

He hoped the lie was believable enough for the man to tell him who it belonged to. Though the man in front of him seemed suspicious of that statement.

"Uh, must have just...popped out."

He finished the sentence with a smile hoping to look inviting like you usually did.

"I want to return it to its rightful owner."

The lady at the desk smiled at the gesture and made a comment. Five however was done with the small talk and wanted the information he came for.

"Yeah. Look up the name for me, will ya?"

The smile on the lady's face fell and the man in front of him spoke again.

"Uh, I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential. That means I can't tell you—"

"Yeah, I know what it means."

Five started to feel a little frustrated at this point. The man caught on to the shift in attitude.

"Right well, I'll tell you what I can do. I will take the eye off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure he or she will be very grateful, so if I can just—"

"Yeah, you're not touching this eye."

The forced smile slipped off of Five's face the moment the man tried to reach for the eye. The man frowned and started to scold him as if he were a child.

"Now, you listen here, young man—"

Five glared at the man, he grabbed his coat and pulled him close in just seconds. He looked deep into his eyes, making sure the man was looking at his piercing eyes.

"No! You listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend, so just give me the information I need, and I'll be on my merry way. And if you call me 'young man' one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall."

The lady got worried as she saw the twenty year old man get aggressive with the older one.

"Oh dear."

"Call security."

The lady instantly picks up the phone and starts dialing causing Five's glare on the man to harden. Five let's go of the man but not without giving him a harsh shove.

God he wished you were there.

Out of Context WIPs

Rules: if you're tagged, make a new post and share one or two sentences (or lines for artists) from your most recent unposted WIP with zero context.

I wasn't tagged, but I'm procrastinating on my WIP so I'ma do this. :3

*sobs* Please, someone, help me defeat my executive dysfunction, this isn't okay--

(WIP is a young Viktor Hargreeves-centric one-shot! He's pre-transition for the first bit, hence the use of "Vanya" and "she/her" pronouns.)

Something scratched at the back door, jerking Vanya out of her thoughts. She froze, half-hoping she had imagined it in the eerie stillness of the night. But it happened again; someone was picking at the lock.  Vanya scrambled back behind the table, her pulse throbbing in her throat as she raised her butter knife out in front of her. Peanut butter dripped off of the dull blade, splattering against the table top. She wasn’t sure what her chosen weapon would do against an intruder, but she didn’t have time to go for one of her siblings. Chk chk. The lock clicked open. Vanya took another step backwards, fear making her head spin. The knob was turning now, slow and careful. She took a deep breath, preparing to scream. With a soft squeak, the door crept open, and- “Klaus?” Vanya clapped a hand over her mouth; that had come out louder than expected. But she had never once had a visitor down here, and seeing her brother silhouetted in the doorway was almost as startling as seeing a stranger. Klaus froze, looking like a deer caught in headlights. Vanya could practically see the flimsy excuses flitting through her brother’s green eyes, before he landed on a shaky, nonchalant, “Oh hey, Vanya.”

That's way more than 1-2 sentences, but I'm far too wordy for 1-2 sentences to make sense.

[jughead-is-canonically-aroace]

omg thank u for introducing me to the term kuleshov effect, that is my favorite aspect of fan edits it makes me go insane

it's so fucking cool, i was actually gonna make a video essay for a final project (before i realized that i don't know how to use a video editor + other problems befouled me) comparing two movies illustrating the connections and the contrasts i was making using the kuleshov effect, which would have pretty much just straightup been an amv using songs from one of the movies.

it's part of why a good gifset is one of my favorite kinds of fandom meta - clips from x episode paired with clips from y later episode, etc - like !!!!! you're making a connection and holding it up for me to look at directly so i can then make that connection myself purely through the juxtaposition!!!!!!!! that's so cool!!!!!!!!

like, look at this

you see what i'm saying??? the meaning comes from the interraction of the paired gifs/lines

or this one

which does like, angle or lighting comparison in addition to the contrast in emotion - shot comparison! match shots! et cetera!

like, the meaning here isn't coming from the caption, i don't see that until later, it's coming from seeing these visuals & dialogue juxtaposed and interpreting something from the decision to pair them. that's video essay

but like to get back to videos and amvs and the kuleshov effect and soviet montage in general - look at this supernatural amv. i've never seen supernatural but this is one of my favorite songs by the mountain goats, and there are lines in it that were put in a completely new perspective for me by watching this amv and seeing what shots the editor put under which lines

soviet montage is a style that developed pretty much in direct response to western/hollywood continuity editing, and specifically in response to the film birth of a nation, which was interesting to the soviet filmmakers in the way that they saw the style of filmmaking aided the film in selling the story of the KKK to the american audience

continuity editing stylistically wants to be noticed as little as possible, and guide you along the viewing of the movie, blurring the lines between your reality and the reality of the film (the idea of the suspension of disbelief) through things that mimic the real life experience of moving throug the world - shot-to-shot things like showing the exterior of the building and then the interior, keeping the camera within the same 180 degrees in a single scene so the people you're filming aren't suddenly on different sides of the camera (the viewer); and scene-to-scene things like having events occur chronologically (and if not, having a clear indication of flashback or flash forward as per filmmaking convention)

the soviet filmmakers saw this as like, some capitalist propaganda bullshit because it encouraged you to take in these ideas without necessarily thinking or critically examining them, and so it was very easy to make the KKK the heroes by just building a triumphant narrative around them, and how that narrative is shown to the viewer depends on how it's edited

and so montage editing, which is rising out of the same school of filmmaking as the kuleshov effect, is in direct response to that, to try and find a style of editing that makes the viewer pay attention to the techniques and to the fact that they're watching a film, keeps their brain engaged, and has them draw their own conclusions from what they're shown rather than being gently handed the conclusions by the film. so it's a style that is built on inviting thought and critique, and therefore a pretty natural style for expressing audiovisual critique and analysis

(amvs also have their roots in this style bc soviet filmmakers were often working with recutting american films rather than filming their own due to lack of funds for purchasing film. which is pretty cool)

if you wanna check out a cool classic example of soviet montage editing, vertov's man with a movie camera (1hr) is really fun, kind of a "day in the life" but also a display of different effects you can get by using a film camera in different ways, bit of stop motion, etc

(vertov is also a really interesting, he coined the idea of kino-eye, which is about the way that the camera looks at the world and how that's different from how a human eye looks at the world, and also, the way the world reacts or changes in response to being looked at by the camera. which is Pretty Relevant Right Now I'd Say! glares at tiktok. glares at surveilence state. anyway you might wanna check that out too it's a bit tangental to the topic but still relevant in terms of the idea of film as unique medium which can be used to express ideas differently than the written word)

AP-01: Project Apocalypse

ch. 04: Just In Time

AP-01 Masterlist

This fic is part of the Academy Projects series, a full rewrite of The Umbrella Academy with the addition of an original character, Kassandra Hargreeves. Throughout the story, you'll stumble across a few songs. This is supposed to make the fic feel as much like the show as possible, so I recommend you don't skip them.

Warnings: Canon-typical issues, death

Suddenly, a crash of thunder ended the song, lightning blitzing outside, the light an odd blue color, all electricity shutting off for a moment. Then, the pens on Kassandra’s desk flew from their position, getting stuck on the wall. Immediately, Kassandra tore open her door, just as Luther and Allison did the same.

“Courtyard,” Kassandra breathed, just before sprinting down the staircase.

Her heart was almost jumping out of her chest, her lungs about to cease working – and the worst part was: She didn’t know why! With siblings who summoned ghosts, threw knives in loops, or could bend reality through a simple “I heard a rumor”, a bunch of lightning and faulty electricity really shouldn’t be all that surprising. Or maybe Klaus had actually done it and dear Sir Reginald was giving a haunting, just to scold his children one last time, now that he had all of them in the same place again. But something told Kassandra it wasn’t any of those things. There was something else in the back of her brain, like a tiny creature running around and screaming. She barely noticed herself speeding up as well, to the point where she was sprinting in her heels, almost crashing into Diego and Vanya at the courtyard door.

With a firm push, Diego threw the door open and it slammed into the brick walls. He was the first to step out, letting out a quiet, concerned mutter at the sight. There was a crack in the sky above the courtyard, flickering blue light and a thunderous noise, the opening’s edge wavering, shrinking and expanding like bubbles of battery acid. Something about it seemed to pull Kassandra in, but Diego quickly put an end to her mindless motion, keeping her behind him with one arm.

“What is it?!” Vanya shouted against the noise.

“Don’t get too close,” Allison warned, grabbing Luther by the arm in concern.

“Yeah, no shit,” Diego scoffed.

The tension in the air was crushing and Kassandra wasn’t sure if it was something brought on by the crack or by her powers.

“Looks like some sort of temporal anomaly,” Luther guessed. “Either that or a miniature black hole, one of the two.”

“If it were a black hole, we wouldn’t be standing here,” Kassandra quipped through the confusion.

But then it hit her. Temporal anomaly. But… it couldn’t be, right? Still, the thought wouldn’t leave her mind. She barely even realized anything going on anymore, her eyes fixated on the crack in the sky. Klaus came running from behind and hurled a fire extinguisher at it in an attempt to do something about it… and it passed right through, to the white fence visible on the other side of the crack. So it was an anomaly. A portal. But it couldn’t be, right?

Suddenly, a white-hot pain shot into Kassandra’s mind, along with a bone-chilling scream. She yelped in pain and slapped her gloved hands over her ears, doubling over.

“Kass!” Vanya gasped, helplessly holding her sister’s arms.

Next to her, Kassandra could barely see Diego pulling out one of his knives. Fighting against the mental jackhammer in her skull and the tears in her eyes, she yanked at his arm, knowing that she couldn’t let him attack.

By now, there was another person at the other side of the portal, an old man, clearly trying to pass through, his screams going directly into Kassandra’s brain though no one else was able to hear them. There was something about him, something so familiar. Was he…? He was getting younger! … Was it really…?

Of course it was.

From the anomaly, a boy fell to the ground below, landing among the grass and leaves, causing the crack and the pain to disappear. Immediately, Kassandra dodged around Diego, ran towards the boy and fell to the ground next to him.

“Five,” she gasped, her voice barely more than a whisper.

Five lay motionless on the ground for a second, then he pushed himself up, grabbing the hands Kassandra offered to him purely out of instinct.

“Kass,” he croaked, and when he looked up into her eyes, Kassandra was overcome with feelings again. But she swallowed them down.

Carefully yet surely, she pulled her brother up to his feet as she got up, picking a leaf out of his raven-black hair. As soon as he had his bearings, he let her go and took a step back, scanning the faces of his siblings who had gathered around him. Then, his eyes wandered down his own body, across the suit he was wearing, which was now far too large for him.

“... Shit.”

“Everyone else sees little Number Five too, right?” Klaus mumbled, poking his brother in the arm, which gained him a smack on the hand.

“Yeah,” Kass just squeaked. She cleared her throat. “Visible and tangible.”

“I need a snack,” Five declared, pushing his way out of the sibling circle.

Kassandra was practically glued to his heels, and only a few seconds later, the entire set of Hargreeves kids was tailing behind Five like a bunch of confused ducklings.

“Do- Do you need an update,” Kassandra stammered, “or…?”

“I need the exact date,” Five replied.

“March 24th, 2019, Dad died three days ago.”

“Don’t care, didn’t ask. What’s up with you, by the way? You look like shit.”

“You gave me a bit of a scare.”

“Eh.”

The siblings all wandered into the kitchen, gathering around the table as Five threw a chopping board and butter knife onto its surface. Without pausing, he walked over to a shelf and pulled out a loaf of plain white bread. The siblings just watched. Klaus cross-legged on the table, Diego leaning against the table to his left and Allison standing to his right. Vanya and Luther, meanwhile, had pulled up chairs, and Kassandra was standing next to the cassette player on the drawer, a little to the side, her eyes still a little widened.

“So, are we gonna talk about what just happened?” Luther asked.

Five, however, stayed silent and just placed his two sandwich halves in front of him. Swiftly, Luther got up, standing a good three heads taller than his brother.

“It’s been 17 years.”

“It’s been a lot longer than that,” Five scoffed, before disappearing into blue light and reappearing behind Luther – on top of the counter, so he could reach the marshmallows.

“I haven’t missed that…”

“Where’d you go?” Diego grumbled.

“The future,” Five announced.

At his words, Kassandra felt a shift in the thoughts being sent to her brain. Up until now, it had been typical Five. Cynicism, nagging, a sweet batch of affection behind sour words. But now, it was sorrow, and a deep-ridden guilt gnawing at his thoughts. Still, she kept silent.

“It’s shit, by the way.”

“Called it!” Klaus remarked.

“I should’ve listened to the old man,” Five rambled, that odd new mix of feelings only getting stronger.

But on the outside, he didn’t let anything show, just continued making his sandwich. Pulled open the fridge, snatched the peanut butter, pushed it shut, but it didn’t fully close. So, Kassandra circled the table on tiptoes, careful not to interrupt Five’s train of thought.

“Y’know, jumping through space is one thing,” he continued, “jumping through time is a toss of the dice. But it’s not like he can say ‘I told you so’ now. - Nice dress,” he told Klaus.

“Oh, danke,” Klaus replied.

Kassandra pushed the fridge door shut and relocated to leaning against the counter. None of this made sense.

“Wait, wait, wait,” Vanya stammered. “How did you get back?”

“In the end I had to project my consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of myself that exists across every possible instance of time.” Another trademark Five explanation.

“That makes no sense,” Diego mumbled.

“Well, it would, if you were smarter.”

Diego surged from his spot on the table, only to run into Luther’s outstretched arm.

“How long were you there?” The team’s leader asked.

“Forty-five years,” Five murmured. “Give or take.”

Silence. In defeat, both Diego and Luther sank back into their seats, and everyone was staring like their eyes were going to pop out of their sockets.

“So what are you saying?” Luther muttered. “You’re fifty-eight?!”

“No.” That typical ‘God, you’re so stupid’ smile. “My consciousness is 58. Apparently, my body is now 13 again.”

“Wait, how does that even work?” Vanya questioned.

“Delores kept saying the equations were off,” Five sighed. He wasn’t even listening, just shrugged and took a bite of his newly finished sandwich. “Bet she’s laughing now.”

“Delores?”

“Guess I missed the funeral. Heart failure, yeah?”

“Yeah,” Diego stated.

“No,” Luther said.

“Nice to see nothing’s changed,” Five remarked, then walked towards the broken wall exit.

“That’s it?” Allison called after him. “That’s all you have to say?”

“What else is there to say? Circle of life.”

Silence again, then everyone let out a collective sigh.

“Well… That was interesting,” Luther commented.

Kassandra just pushed herself off the counter and puttered over to the table to clean up Five’s mess. Without a word, she screwed the lid back onto the peanut butter glass and put it back in the fridge, then dug through one of the drawers for a food clip.

“Hey, Kass, are you okay?” Vanya asked, getting up from her chair to get a better look at her.

“I’m fine.”

“Are you sure?” Allison questioned. “You look a bit peaky.”

“Yeah, I’m just not used to mental assaults anymore,” Kassandra shrugged. She finally found a good bag clip and took a glance at her siblings as she walked back to the marshmallow bag. “You probably didn’t hear Five scream but I did. Going through that portal was painful even for him and the worst pain I’m used to getting projected on me these days is a bad breakup. Not even a broken bone.” With a deep breath, she made sure to look Vanya and Allison directly in the eyes. “I’m fine, don’t worry. It was just a bit of a shock.”

As she continued cleaning up the various sandwich ingredients, her siblings started leaving the room, off to be on their own again. In the end, it was Luther, surprisingly, who stayed last.

“Kassandra?”

“Hm?”

“Keep an eye on Five, alright?”

“I’ll listen in when I find the time.”

“Can’t you do it from here?”

“Out of practice.”

Luther let out a heavy sigh and Kassandra tried to ignore him. But when his voice softened, she couldn’t do it anymore.

“Is it really him?” he asked.

“It’s him,” she confirmed, looking up at him with gentle eyes. “I’d recognize those brain waves anywhere, he’s just… He’s been through a lot.”

They stood there in silence for a few seconds, then Kassandra turned on the faucet to rinse the butter knife, hoping that the rushing water would help drown out the voices in her mind.

“Alright, thanks,” Luther mumbled.

“No problem,” Kassandra muttered. As Luther left, she called after him: “If you need me, I’ll be down here. Making cucumber sandwiches.”

At sundown, it was time. The Umbrella Academy emerged from the door into the courtyard, Grace, Pogo and the children, all dressed in black, with umbrellas to match. Except even there the cohesion didn’t last, since Klaus was carrying a cutesy pink umbrella and Five had been forced to wear his uniform again, having nothing else to wear in his closet. Somewhat ironic.

“Did something happen?” Grace asked, looking at her children with worry in her eyes yet still trying to keep a hint of a smile.

“Dad died,” Allison said, furrowing her brows in confusion. “Remember?”

“Oh. Yes, of course.”

“Is Mom okay?”

“Yeah,” Diego declared. He had walked out into the pouring rain without an umbrella or any rain protection at all. Edgy. “Yeah, she’s fine. She just needs to rest. Y’know, recharge.”

Kassandra had switched out her cotton gloves for warmer leather ones and had propped up the collar on her coat, but the cold still seemed to seep through every pore. Her large hood was placed over her head beneath her umbrella, the latter really only there so she would have something to hold on to.

“Whenever you’re ready, dear boy,” Pogo said softly, his eyes on Luther.

The Academy’s Number One held their father’s urn in his hands, whereas Klaus was lighting a cigarette with his. Luther took the lid off the urn and emptied its contents, the ashes getting wet and just plopping onto the floor. Just the sight made Kassandra’s insides recoil, and she could tell at a glance that Klaus wasn’t thrilled about it either.

“Probably would have been better with some wind,” Luther mumbled in embarrassment.

“Does anyone wish to speak?” Pogo asked.

Kassandra debated it. She swore she did. There were things she wanted to get out, things she wanted the others to know, things she had been wondering about that she would like cleared up… but that didn’t mean she wanted to speak. The same appeared to be true for her siblings and all of them stayed silent.

“Very well,” Pogo sighed, settling for a speech of his own: “In all regards, Sir Reginald Hargreeves made me what I am today. For that alone, I shall forever be in his debt. He was my master… and my friend… and I shall miss him very much. He leaves behind a complicated legacy—”

“He was a monster,” Diego cut in, causing Klaus to giggle.

“Diego…” Kassandra muttered in a foreboding tone.

“He was a bad person and a worse father. The world’s better off without him.”

“Diego!” she hissed.

“My name is Number Two,” he corrected her. “You know why? Because our father couldn’t be bothered to give us actual names. I’m sure you remember. He had Mom do it.”

“Would anyone like something to eat?” Grace asked, like an automated response at the push of a button.

“No, it’s okay, Mom,” Vanya mumbled.

“Oh, okay.”

“Look, you wanna pay your respects?” Diego called as he stepped into the middle of the gathering, almost into the ashes that had once been their father. “Go ahead. But at least be honest about the kind of man he was.”

“Diego, that’s enough,” Kassandra said in a voice cold and harsh as iron. “We talked about this: No fighting until after the funeral.”

“Well, I’m not fighting with you, am I?��� he remarked.

“Dad was a complicated man that I admit I’ll never understand,” she claimed, stringing words together fast so she couldn’t be interrupted. “But he was our father. He brought us together and, if anything, I’m thankful for that.”

“And what are we, huh? A trainwreck!”

“You should stop talking now,” Luther cut in, but for Kassandra, it was already too late.

She turned around on her heels and left, headed straight for the exit with a stone-cold face. Every cell in her body felt like it was freezing, her chest burning with a cold rage, her heart feeling like its shards were vibrating and coming apart. That wasn’t all they were, right? A trainwreck?

A big theme of Grocery List Goal is the Hargreeves breaking away from Reginald. The focus is primarily on Vanya (look, i have faves), but as this conclusion is wrapping up I've realized that she's not the only one who should have the chance to break free in a scene. All of them have really made progress this fic, and so I'm leaning towards a massive chapter where everyone gets a pov option to show that. (Minus Ben, sorry ghostie)

Working on Klaus's part, because i feel like he's also worked so hard to be in a good place and deserves a moment to show Reginald's control is gone.

----

Klaus has been in the office of Reginald Hargreeves often. For punishment as a child. To loot it, plenty of times, as an adult. Reginald had to have known it was him, and yet there's no specious look as the man leads Klaus and Diego into the room.

He hopes that Ben finds them here, as dinner took less time than they expected. He hopes Five has found Vanya.

Klaus catches Diego's eye. His brother is tense on the couch in the room, on the cushion nearest the door, and watching Reginald's every move. The man is preparing a tray, with a decanter and three glasses, and to Klaus's shot delivers it himself to the sitting area.

Grace is no where to be found.

Klaus eyes the whiskey when it is placed in front of him. He is trying so hard to be sober, and he needs to be for tonight. Needs to have the ability to make Ben tangible, just in case.

Klaus/Diego(POV)

A month 

31 days

And Five still hadn't came back  

Everyone blamed themselves for what had happened.

Especially himself, he had lied to the others and to Five about Ben, yet he still hadn't come forth to everyone. Diego never brought the topic up to him again knowing what had happened that night with both brother's cuddled up in one another.

"You know this would be the last thing he would want you to be doing Klaus," Ben hovered over him as he threw back what might've been his 9th shot of whiskey.

"Shut up, Ben," He tried pulling his coat further over his head to block out his ghost brother but with no prevail. He finally caved in to talking to his brother he had been trying to ignore the whole day

"Come on Klaus, 3 weeks down the drain everyone's worried about Five but you can't stay intoxicated until he comes back." 

"Watch me," his words were beginning to slur as he tried to order another shot. Klaus raised the shot glass and signaled to the bartender as he slammed the glass back on the bar, black lipstick smeared where he had drank from.

"No can do Klaus, that was your last call, cut off time already so you get water," the bartender knew him personally much like his friend whom was a paramedic.

"Is it at least flavored water," he asked as the glass was placed in front of him.

"I can make you a non-alcoholic drink if you prefer that to water," he was leaning against the counter talking to Klaus. It was a slow night and already 1am. 

"When do I do non-alcoholic, Matt?" Klaus joked as he laid his head down on his arms.

Matt shook his head at Klaus, "is someone coming to pick you up? Brother, sister, girlfriend,  boyfriend if you have one yet." 

"He's right Klaus you can't walk home all fucked up like that, at least let him call Diego for you," Ben's voice was laced with desperation to his older brother.

"No one's coming, just me, Myself, and I tonight, Matty," Klaus was given a questioning glance from the bartender as he took a drink of his water.

"You sure, I practically have your brother's number memorized. I can call him for you." Klaus frantically shook his head, "he's gonna be mad at me." Words he would never say slipped out due to his nine plus whiskey shots he drank minutes ago.

"Klaus, Di is never mad at you as long as he knows you're safe," Ben's words passed right over Klaus as the séance ignored him.

"He usually seems almost relieved whenever he walks in here to take you home, seems like a good big brother." 

Klaus smiled to himself, Diego was a good brother he couldn't deny that. But for him he never considered himself a good brother in return. More often than not he felt more like a failure compared to everyone or a bother than an actual brother. He was always just the druggie or junkie brother who could see the dead.

"He is, just I never told anyone I was going out so they're probably all frantically looking for me like ants when they lose their line." Matt laughed at Klaus' comparison for his siblings.

"Well, like I said I know his number I can always call him up for you, I don't mind." 

Klaus gasped, "Matty do you like my brother?" The bartender chuckled and looked at Klaus, "Cute, but not my type." He finished polishing a glass before looking at his watch. 

"You think my big brother wouldn't bottom for you," Klaus chuckled as Matt's eyes widened.

"The way he's dressed, Definitely not… are you implying something Klaus?" 

Klaus shrugged his shoulders as he stood from the bar stool, "I mean my little sister is possibly bi, kinda always thought at least one of the other 5 were, you know…. too." 

"Well I think you and me can both agree your brother doesn't look like the one to hook up with someone that looks like me nor you."

Klaus started moving away from the bar slowly, his strides wobbly and staggered, "You never know Matty old pal." He pushed open the bar door slipping out into the dark night.

"What are you gonna do… Walk home Klaus!? It's almost 2 in the morning and you're drunk out of your mind." Klaus waved his hand to shoot Ben away as he staggered down the sidewalk.

The alcohol already was hitting his system as he made his way to the familiar place he spent most of his adult life. A guy about his height stood at the end of the end of the dark alleyway as he made his way over to the familiar guy.

Klaus dug in his coat pocket and waved a wad of cash in front of the guy while the man pulled out a small bag filled with pills that his body was craving. They both exchanged items as Klaus quickly made his way out of the alleyway and walked down towards a busser area. 

Young women and men alike stood at a designated place. Almost all of them were dressed in clothes similarly to how he was dressed walking up to cars that would stop and pass by. Some climbed in the cars that stopped while others would walk back to their group of people as the car's drove away.

Eye quickly glued to him as he walked past the area. His chest was practically bare with the black lacy see through crop-top he had on along with his tight leather pants and leather heeled boots. His fur coat hung from his shoulders as he brought up his finger to fix his black lipstick, had been drinking not through a straw he knew it was probably smeared in most places.

He took notice of some cars that slowed down as certain windows were rolled down as he paid no attention to them. He wrapped his coat closed and crossed his arms over his chest and walked faster out of the area Klaus knew exactly what it was.

"Hey, love wanna head back to my place?" A man, about his age asked. He was leaning against his opened window with one arm while the other hung over the steering wheel. He Slowly followed in his car while Klaus picked up his pace and walked faster away from the creep.

"Sorry, my body's not for sale tonight." Klaus could hear the clicking of his boots as he reached into his pocket pulling out a lighter and a cigarette. Lighting it he noticed the humming of the engine that belonged to the car no longer sounded like it was a parrot on his shoulder. He succeeded in taking in a puff from the cancer stick before he heard Ben gasp behind him. A hand grabbed his upper arm spinning him back around.

The guy was now in front of him as his car was parked a few feet back, "then what's a cute thing like you doing dressed like this and in this area?" The man moved his hand to grab Klaus' wrist while his other one snaked to his lower back. The cigarette previously in his hand had dropped to the ground as surprise stunned him for a couple seconds.

His eyes roamed Klaus' body as Klaus tried to pull away out of the man's grip with no prevail. He noticed the situation caught the attention of some of the other men and women in the area as they looked over, some watching to see how far it goes.

"I was just passing through and this is how I always dress." His words slurred slightly, enough for the man to realise Klaus was drunk as the hand on his lower back moved slightly south and he was pulled closer to the man. His body was pressed slightly up against the perverts with his face lingering close to Klaus' ear.

"Well I can just give you a ride to where you're going, yeah? That way a pretty sweet boy like you is not in this area anymore and mistaken for something you're not." His words had this hidden white lie behind them and we're spoken with a lightness as if to not scare him away.

Before he could get his drunk, drugged induced body to cooperate he was tugged slightly to the car. He tried to pull away but his body was like jello and not listening to his brain. He heard chatter grow more amongst the group of people, some yelling things while he heard Ben doing the same, unable to physically do anything though. He was tugged closer to the car before he heard heavy fast footsteps near him.

"Hey!" 

'Thank goodness'

"Let go of him." The voice was familiar to Klaus.

A arm caught his weight as the man pushed him away scurrying to his car before driving away. He felt the presence of a taller man as the hand holding him up gingerly wrapped onto his petite frame. Klaus turned his head towards the hand that was still gripping onto him as he moved his gaze up to a familiar face.

"Matt….?" 

The 6'3 bartender in front of Klaus pulled him gently in the direction of his car and slid Klaus into the passenger seat before sliding into the driver's seat. "Are you okay?" He saw his eyes glance over Klaus before moving to start the car up.

"What-Why are you here?" Klaus didn't know why the guy he only saw when he wanted alcohol was here saving him from some creep.

"You know Klaus a 'Thank you' would be in order for him?" Klaus ignored Ben's comment as he continued to look at Matt.

"Because I called your brother to come pick you up…..I didn't realise you ventured off that far in such a short amount of time." Klaus didn't know what to say, he didn't want Diego to come pick him up and be a bother to his brother. Yet in the same way he wanted to go home he also wanted to stay out on the streets where he could obtain all the drugs he wanted. His rested head on the window felt heavier and heavier, probably from the drugs and alcohol in his system but also due to the fact it was 2 in the morning. 

"It's always today…….. did something happen on this date, Klaus?" 

Klaus wanted to close his eyes and pretend the last month maybe few were all just a fever dream. The apocalypse coming twice, spending 3 years in the 60s and forming a cult, vietnam and meeting Dave, then meeting him again only to further insure he would get killed. Five coming back home and then finding out little sweet Vanya had very deadly powers probably more than all of them combined. 

Then Five left again this time no one knew for how long and once again the family was falling apart. Certain siblings acted as glue and once the glue left everything else crumbled and fell to the ground. He looked up to the rearview mirror seeing where Ben was sitting in the middle back seat.

"Yeah, something did...a long time ago." 

~

Diego chucked a file onto his desk startling the rest of the team that were in today. Everyone turned towards him as he ran his hand over his face before talking.

"10-year-boy, went missing 24 hours ago, was last seen at the park downtown by his 19 year old sister…… the case was handed off to us because nearby surveillance cameras caught him leaving with a man in the same grey trench coat and top hat as the 7-year-old girl who went missing four weeks ago in her own front yard." 

He threw the other file in his hand on his desk as he circled around and grabbed another file from the cabinets. His throat felt dry as he began to speak about the next thing.

"A 13-year-old boy that went missing 10 days ago was found this morning by some tourist in the middle of a forest…. The MO is consistent with our guy. He was sexually assulted and mutilated on many parts of his body." 

He put his weight against his desk as all the others started reading through the files. He didn't know how he was getting sleep at night with everything going on. If he could consider one to two hours sufficient sleep.

The sun had set hours ago as only ceiling LED lights and lamps kept the place illuminated. They all had loved ones waiting at their individual homes for them to return home to. 

"Hey, Hargreeves" his head shot up at his last name with Nico waving him over.

"The cap wants you in his office," he gestured over towards the office up against the wall by the far right. He nodded his head as he made his was over to the door, letting himself in and closing it behind him.

"What's up Lupo?" 

"The thing with your brother….have you had any leads on it." Diego took a breath and sent his gaze to the floor.

"Were not sure where he's at exactly, but nothing has drastically changed so we know he hasn't messed with the timeline yet." 

"And that missing persons report you filed on him?" 

Diego shoved his hands into his pockets, "Just a precaution in case anything did happen to him." A moment of silence passed by till Lupo spoke.

"You know Kraken you can take a day off every once and a blue moon, i've known you for sometime now and one thing I learned about you is that you never take a break." 

Diego scoffed, "a break is the last thing I need right now Lupo, what I need is to find this bastard doing all this and get my little brother back home." 

Lupo lit a cigar in his mouth taking a puff out of it, "tell everyone to head home it's getting late, you guys are on this case like a pack of bloodhounds sent to track a sent." 

Diego turned around towards the door with his hand on the doorknob, "If only we were as good as the bloodhounds." Diego stepped through the door letting it fall back into place as he stepped out to the team. 

Moving feet followed by lights flickering off and goodbyes were sent each other's way as they all made it to their individual cars. Diego slid into the drivers seat as his phone buzzed in his pocket. He started the car before taking a glance at the caller ID.

He pulled the phone to his ear, "what's up Allison." 

"Did Klaus tell you anything about him leaving to do something today or where he was going." Allison's voice sounded bothered, almost frantic in a way.

"No why? What happened?" Diego had his hand on the steering wheel waiting for Allisons response.

"He just disappeared a couple hours ago without telling anyone, I thought he had been in his room the whole time but apparently not." 

Diego cursed under his breath as he started to drive to the academy, "by a couple of hours how long do you mean?" 

"I don't know six maybe seven?"

He gripped the steering wheel tighter as he turned the corner, Klaus ...... "I'll be there in a couple minutes. Did you check the rest of the house?" 

He heard Allison talking to somebody then redirected back to him, "Vanya's checking the last of the places right now." 

Diego was worried and frustrated at the same time yet all he could tell them was he was on his way.

----

"So you're just gonna let our little brother be out when we know he could possibly be hurt or other worse things!" Diego brought his hand up running it over his face.

The three eldest siblings were gathered in the living after they had searched the house for Klaus and no one could find him. Vanya was checking last places that she knew he might be which left the three alone with each other.

"Diego we don't even know if he's out doing something or not." Allison tried to argue with Diego as Luther stood beside her.

"Al you know exactly what he is doing right this second, don't play dumb!"

"She has a point, Diego, we're not gonna waste our time searching the city for him." Diego clenched his jaw at Luther's words as Vanya stepped into the room.

"Klaus isn't a waste of time you asshole." He tightened his fist as Vanya interrupted the conversation which Diego was glad she did.

"I still can't find him……. I'm really worried." Diego walked over, hooked his arm around Vanya and pulled her closer to him. He felt her arms wrap around him as he kept his hand on her back.

"Of all day's Luther, I think you'd at least care a bit…..just on this day." Diego's urge to try to knock some sense into the eldest sibling was held back by his sister hugging him.

"It's not that I don't care Diego, we all know what Klaus does!" Diego bit his lip trying to gather his words before speaking.

"What Luther?! What exactly does he do since you apparently know everything despite you hardly caring about him?!" 

"Diego...please don't." He looked down at Vanya as she laid her hand on his arm.

"He goes and gets high off his ass, we all know this Diego." Diego crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yeah and? Do you know about all the times he's OD? Or possibly all the times he's been pushed around in the streets… he actually tries Luther, he's the one that checks himself into rehab not anyone else, he wants help but because he's surrounded by ghosts all the time it permits him from getting clean." 

He moved away from Vanya out of fear of hurting her if he got mad and slightly paced up and down the small area where they were standing in the living room.

"Yes Ben died t-today, why do you think Klaus went out in the first place….when everything with Five happened he kept relapsing because what do you expect! If Five actually did fucking die this time I don't think he would want to know that!" He noticed when his voice slightly cracked when he brought up Ben and Five.

Silence brooded over the room with only the faint echo of Diego's voice still ringing in everyone's ears and the cracking of the wood in the fireplace. Allison moved over and sat in one of the chairs by the fireplace with her hand over her mouth, While Vanya slowly sat down on the couch behind them eyes trained to one spot on the ground. He saw the realisation hit them all that Five could indeed be gone forever.

That afternoon after they had run into his room, he had gone into the station and put in that missing person report. He didn't want to risk something else that happened to Five getting mixed up with them thinking he just time traveled somewhere. Even though they were all guaranteed that he time traveled somewhere, the fact that he was already gone for a month made them all more on edge.

The fear that crept up on him causing his mouth to go dry and his hands to become clammy made him sick to his stomach everytime they found a young boy's body dumped somewhere. The anxiety would leave but the thought of Five still being out somewhere in time or even possibly locked away somewhere would bombard his mind. 

"I'm going out to look for Klaus, It's your guys choice to join me if you want." He walked out of the living room gathering his keys and coat before exiting the Academy.

Something hung in the air that he couldn't quite place his finger on but knew the feeling too well. The inability to take a deep breath, like everything kept moving around him but he was in a standstill. Or exactly the opposite, the world was moving too fast and he couldn't catch up. Lights sped by as well as different establishments. This sparked a feeling Diego hated and wanted to get rid of 

The city quickly became ingrained into his head like a language, every twist and turn felt automatic. Searching the streets for their youngest brother relentlessly tired him out the first day he was gone. The second day felt like he was denying everything and anything. In a way he wished he was still in the same year somewhere where he could be found. Diego wanted to find him and wanted to bring the small boy home. 

He continued to search and look past different bars or clubs of any kind. At this point he didn't know if he was looking for the séance or Five. He hopped down at several places, most being able to say if they had seen his brother and they automatically knew who he was talking about. Others he pulled up a picture of Klaus on his phone and showed bouncers or bartenders. In the end he got a no in return or reference of another bar or club to check.

The shut his car door and slipped into the leather seats pulling his seat belt across his chest. After the 5th bar and the 3rd club he still hadn't the faintest clue of where Klaus was. A part of him wanted to turn back around and go home knowing their brother might return in the morning. But the word 'might' scared him and forced himself to keep driving. 

The ringing of his phone startled him as he started to doze off at the wheel, accidentally swerving into the other lane. He pulled into the nearest rest stop and took his phone looking at the caller ID.

It was someone of not much importance that he didn't bother to spend the ten seconds to put it into his contacts. But enough that he recognized the seven digits that were displayed on his screen.

"Hello?" He answered the phone unsure if the voice on the other end would be familiar or it was his sleep deprived brain telling him that the digits in that order made sense.

"Oh Diego right? It's Matt the bartender from the bar your little brother comes to." 

Everything quickly clicks in his head as he switches his turn signal on, pulling out of where he stopped momentarily and into the turning lane.

"Yeah, Is he there?" Please let him be there.

"Not at the moment, he left a minute or two ago. But I can go grab him before he wanders too far or gets hurt." Even though this was just some bartender he could hear the slight worry in his tone for Klaus.

"Thank you, I'll be right there." The line ended abruptly on both ends but he didn't think about it, only trying to remember the way to the bar his brother frequented so very often.

[lettersfromaplatypus]

Ep3: what.

Hey so we could’ve cleared this up right there when Five explained the Keepers were a cult about timelines he could’ve also just said Lila’s been going there undercover not cheating on Diego. Then the conversation could’ve been “why didn’t you tell me about underground work” instead of “why are you cheating on me with my brother”.

“Are you mad at me because I saved your life?” Yeah no go off Klaus…

I… wow okay. That whole yelling between Klaus and Allison woah.

“We either follow the Keepers or worse, talk to dad” *chorus of nope* XD

Wait wait wait so they DID resolve the fact that Lila wasn’t cheating with Five but somehow… SHE DOES END UP CHEATING WITH FIVE ANYWAY??

How did Klaus get all the way back to Allison’s house ? Also poor Claire

Did we just… watch Klaus beg a guy to kill him and then he did it but immediately healed in front of him?

What even is this new Reginald?

So he messed with their memories about Ben as we figured. Seeing them all recite why Ben died in perfect monotone was perfectly creepy

So Ben is Doc Oc now

Why…

(A different why) Why wasn’t Five on the mission?

Dude Lila that was the worst timing you could’ve had to say you want a divorce

This episode was SO much

Ep4:

Klaus was a CHILD and he was half sobbing in a bathtub after apparently getting back from rehab…

“Vanya can take my place” this has a lot of implications that I don’t have mental capacity for rn

Oh hey Pogo WAIT POGO WAS ON THE MISSION

So they all left Ben alone to deal with the dangerous weapon in a box and Ben broke the rule to help them. Ben was trying to save Jennifer… and Hargreeves shot Ben and Jennifer in the head… because if the marigold in Ben contacted the durang (?) in Jennifer the apocalypse would have come even sooner.

Thank you for that speech, Elliot.

Klaus working as a medium… and they just used his possession ability to also turn him into a sex worker… wtf

Ok but WHY can’t they just explain this to Diego? How hard is it to say “hey since Five and I have been doing this mission undercover we keep finding things and working together”?

And now they’ve exploited Klaus to the point where he relapsed… ok seriously what the fuck

So. What. Exactly. Is the point. Of bringing Klaus to rock bottom. Why. Did I have to watch. Him get buried alive.

Viktor’s speech about family would be a lot more impactful if this show actually proved it true but like… no one even really likes this version of Ben, they’re only there for each other half the time, most of it is them hating each other now…

Also why is it just Ben’s marigold that causes the reaction? Wouldn’t this happen if any of them interacted with her? And why does the reaction look like Viktor’s powers?

If we get one more “umbrella/sparrow/Phoenix academy” thing—

Ok I have two episodes left but I’m seriously considering not finishing this at all— this isn’t just poor writing, watching this season is torture

It is taking me an embarrassingly long time to watch season 4 but here’s some episode reactions so far that nobody asked for (keeping in mind I was mildly spoiled just by being on tumblr)

Ep1: I was kinda on board for a few minutes until people started treating Klaus’s mental health issues like they were things he should just get over. His fear of germs is basically brushed aside and made fun of, they pressured him to go to places he SPECIFICALLY said would probably trigger him, he’s been sobering up but when he mentions this he gets brushed off or made fun of again AND THEN THEY STRAIGHT UP HAD HIM DO A SHOT AGAINST HIS WILL?? What the fuck that’s not funny and quirky humor that’s at best cringe and at worst is insulting.

Also I know from what people have been saying what is about to happen with this “Diego thinks Lila is cheating on him” thing and like… why couldn’t it have just been that?? It would have been frustrating, but they could have used it to laugh like “wow Diego you dummy” and it wouldn’t be purely creepy character assassination! You know it’s bad when I’m rooting for the “thinks their spouse is cheating” sub plot.

I did like seeing items from when they were the Umbrella Academy in the first season/as kids that was fun. And where did Sloan go? Did she die? Haven’t seen any mention of her but honestly am not that sad about it. Luther’s character keeps doing 180s but at least he’s nice in this turn?

Ep2: ok I have to admit that Luther getting gorilla-body back in the middle of his strip tease was actually funny to me. Same with Diego finally throwing packages well. Still hate this Ben for spiking them. It’s interesting how their powers came back and made them sick/out of control. Limp tentacle Ben…no.

KLAUS DIDNT DRINK IT YAY GOOD FOR HIM. Ok Viktor go off I like that he snapped at Ben. Ok, don’t hate me but… family road trip in a goodwill scooby-doo van with all but one member sick af, rolling down a road with Baby Shark playing in the background… THAT’S funny. The vomiting I could’ve done without.

Well fuck… the dilemma of Klaus not wanting his powers back but them doing it to save his life… god why. And what’s up with this girl?? Also their powers got upgraded? Is Luther bullet proof now? Why does Lila have laser eyes when her thing was mimicking others?

OH AND THE TIMELINE THING? I assumed this was a thing where there’s only one timeline, and each time they fucked with it it messed everything up— like trying to go back and fix things makes it worse because they’re only working with one timeline in one universe. That’s why Five ran into his past self who was about to go back in time to save his family during season 2. But then Five gets on the subway and apparently can go to different timelines? Which means that they just have to get back to their own? But wouldn’t that one still have future apocalypse?

Next 2 U (Vanya Hargreeves x Cooper! Reader)

INCOMPLETE #15

Summary: Vanya convinced the reader to come to 2019 with her. Reader has to say goodbye to her mother and brother.

“YOU could come with me,” Vanyas whisper sounds like shouts to you, her face close to yours as her hands held your head, “We can be together, Y/N,”

“To two-thousand and nineteen?” You breathe, in disbelief, eyebrows pinched as you gently shook your head, “That’s over fifty years from now. How-how different is it? What about my mom, and-and Harlan?”

“They can come with us,” Vanya murmurs, eyes flicking between yours desperately. Her thumbs rub across your cheekbones, feeling you tremble beneath her touch, “We can be together Y/N. It’s so much different from now,”

“It doesn’t sound real,” You whisper, eyes fluttering shut as Vanyas forehead rests against yours, her head then tilting to press her lips to yours, quickly.

Your hand slides from her shoulder to her hair, pulling her closer against you as your eyes pinch shut, nose inhaling a deep breath as her lips moved rushed against your own.

When you pull away, you’re near breathless, Vanyas breath fanning your face as her nose grazed yours,

“I’ll go with you,” You murmur, opening your eyes to see Vanya exhale a short breath, relieved, her eyes fluttering shut, “But I gotta talk to my mom. I gotta try to get her to come with us,”

Vanya nods, her hands finally dropping from your face to lean back, pushing off your bed in a rushed attempt to find your mother or brother.

“YOU know we can’t leave, Y/N,” Sissy is quick to shake her head, her eyes drifting to Harlan’s sleeping figure beside her. That boy had been through so much, “Harlan, he needs to stay here. Going wouldn’t be good for him,”

Sissy finally looks up to her twenty-five year old daughter, your eyes shimmering as you shifted your gaze to your brother.

“You’ll be dead when I go,” You mutter, swallowing the bile in your throat, “Harlan, he’ll be damn near seventy,”

Sissy sighs, “Now I don’t know how he’ll be fifty something years from now, but you better look for him,”

“Of course I will, ma,” You reach forward, Sissy’s arms wrapping around you in a tight embrace,

“My baby girl,” Sissy whispers, your eyes shutting tight, “You know I will always support you when it comes to what- or who- you love,” Sissy leans back, hands brushing hair from your face, “And hey, maybe I’m one of those moms who live to be a hundred years old. Better visit my grave if not,”

“Mama,” You shake your head through a weak sob, “Please,”

“I’m sorry baby,” Sissy whispers, embracing you a final time, “I love you, so so much,”

“I love you too,” You pull away, completely, running a hand through Harlan’s hair so he inhaled a deep breath, then exhaled as his body relaxed, “Guess I should let Vanya know my final decision,”

Sissy squeezes your hand, tightly, ignoring the tears on her own cheeks as she watches you exit the bedroom, Vanya standing up at your retreating form.

A short exhale escapes your lips, Vanyas arms wrapping around you as you fall slump against her, your sob muffled against her neck. You were doing this out of love. She knew.

“A guest?” Klaus’ hand raises to yours for you to take. You shyly look between the siblings, taking his hand as Vanyas takes your free, “To 2019 we go!”

“Hopefully the world hasn’t ended,”

(btw the italic words mean y/n`s thoughts)

[ also, five is the same age as y/n, they're both 21-24 I can't rlly pick an age ]

Y/n's pov:

I'm currently walking towards the Umbrella Academy to hang out with my friends, Klaus invited me to come over bc he was bored and we were gonna have a party there, yk foods, music, and dances etc. I've been friends with them for a few years. We're all super close. Me and five get along well, surprisingly, we're like best, best friends, I sorta have a tiny crush on him ig... OKAY I HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON HIM. 😻

3rd person pov:

(Time skip bc I don't wanna write all this)

Y/n walks up to the academy and knocks on the door, the door flung right open as Klaus put his weight on the handle with a drink in his hand. "Hey Klaus!" y/n says "hey y/n, come in" Klaus says as he stands to the side then closes the door after they walk in.

The smell of fresh food and drinks coming from the kitchen and music playing in the background. Allison and Luther dancing in the living room, Diego talking to vanya while playing with his knife, and five... idk where five is he's probably in his room or something.

Klaus stumbles to the kitchen "we have so much stuff in here y/n! Come here". Y/n follows Klaus to the kitchen and the smell getting even stronger made me wanna fall down on my knees..

(AN: FOOD THO 😻😻 HMU 😘😘 OKAY SORRY)

I walk to the counter and look at all the food and drinks lay down there, tacos, lasagna, chicken, steak, chips, sauce, cheesecake, brownies, cookies, you name it.

(IDK WHAT FOOD TO PUT??? I BARELY GO TO PARTIES, ONLY FILIPINO ONES BUT LIKE YK???)

"Woww..." Y/n asked, Klaus nods "mhm, I'm gonna dance now, wanna come?" "Sure!"

Y/n's pov:

"what happened?" all of them asked.

After drinking and have a fun time I got up from the couch to go to the kitchen when I saw five blink away somewhere as I stood up. I grabbed some food and got thirsty, and there was this cup with wine in it sitting next to me so I just drank it, not caring who's it was. While I was drinking it five blinked near me while Klaus also walked towards us. "isn't that fives glass? OMG YOU'RE DRINKING FIVES GLASS Y/N" Klaus yelled then started laughing while five just stared.

I put down the glass as I spit out the water, almost choking on the drink bc I was shocked, I mean... I'm drinking from my best friend's glass.. AKA MY CRUSH??!?!?!? HELLO??? "what?.." The others came in here curious abt what all the noise is from.

OH IM FUCKED.. 😭😭

"They kissed?!"

"Y/N HAD AN INDIRECT KISS WITH FIVE!!!" Klaus yelled out. INDIRECT KISS????? I BASICALLY KINDA KISSED FIVE?? OMG I THINK IM GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK..

"what"

"what's an indirect kiss?"

"Y/n and five kissed?!"

....

...

..

.

Five and I basically just watched this whole scene unravel. "umm..." I tried to think what to say.. BUT HOW TF WOULD I KNOW WHAT TO SAY IF I JUST INDIRECTLY KISSED MY CRUSH ???

Five and I just looked at each other and he walked up to me and grabbed my hand and teleported to his room. wow.. his hands are SO SOFT- IS IT HAPPENING??? FIVE IS GONNA KISS ME??? I MEAN... SAY LESS-

I was knocked out of my thoughts as five said something "well that was something..." I nodded not knowing what to say. OH GOD IM BLUSHING I BET HE CAN SEE THIS IM GONNA SHIT MYSELF SO BAD RN 😭😭 He walked up to me and and tilted my chin towards him since I was looking away. "umm.. sorry five I didn't mean to drink out of your glass.." I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.

I MEAN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN I JUST HAD AN INDIRECT KISS WITH MY BEST FRIEND THEN WE'RE IN HIS ROOM LIKE THIS??

Getting lost into his green eyes I suddenly felt a pair of lips on mine. NOW MY EYES ARE WIDE OPEN RN 😨 I kissed back knowing we weren't going to pull away anytime soon. He grabbed me by the waist and I put my arms around his neck. HIS LIPS ARE SOFT TOO THIS MAN IS TOO PERFECT WTF

The kiss lasting for a long while, we pull away and I look into his eyes as he smirked. "umm-" Klaus and the others kicked the door open right as I was about to say something. We both immediately pulled away from each other and stood awkwardly.

MASTERLIST REQUEST RULES

“I‘m home, honey.“

Diego enters his small boiler room with a smile on his lips because he knows someone is waiting for him. While he goes downstairs, he takes off his harness. But before he can hang it on the hock, a pair of hands take it from him.

“What took you so long?“, the female in front of him asks with a pout. She is wearing one of his old shirts and her bare feet touch the probably cold floor.

“Family dinner. They never go as planned“, Diego says and places one of his hands on (Y/n)s cheek. His thumb strokes her soft skin. She closes her eyes for a few seconds and enjoys his touch. But then she turns around and hangs the harness on the hook.

“Then take me with you the next time. It gets boring in here really quickly“, (Y/n) suggests and walks to their makeshift kitchen where she looks for something to eat. Before she can reach for the apple in the basket, Diego turns her around and wraps his strong arms around her waist. He lifts her up onto the counter and grins up at her.

“We talked about this, baby. My family is weird. You would feel uncomfortable the moment you set a foot in the academy“, the man explains between her legs and quickly, presses his lips against (Y/n)s. Her lips are as soft as a cloud looks like. Diego can‘t get enough of this feeling.

Diego places one of his hands around the females neck, his thumb stroking her chin. The other hand wanders all over her body, from her hips to her waist and to her breasts. (Y/n) has her hands behind Diegos neck, playing with his hair.

After some time, (Y/n) lets her hands wander over Diegos chest and to the hem of his sweater. Impatiently, she pulls it over his head and Diego presses his naked chest against her body. Both giggle because they can‘t stop touching each other.

Diego moans when his girlfriends hands wander all over his muscular chest until she starts fiddling with his belt.

Their lips move and their hearts swell with love. No one could destroy this moment for them.

The door gets ripped open and five people rush inside the boiler room. They look as startled as the couple.

Diego turns to where his siblings are standing, with an open belt and no shirt on his chest.

“Kinky.“

Klaus is the first one to say anything. He is leaning against the wall and grins at the two caught lovers.

Luthers eyes are wide open just like his mouth. Allison has both of her eyebrows raised. Vanya looks like a deer in headlights. Five has a huge grin on his lips.

“What are you doing here?“, Diego asks angry and the protective boyfriend he is, gets (Y/n) a blanket he drapes around her. She stays seated on the counter because she is too scared to move.

“We...You...At the dinner...“, Luther stutters and opens his mouth again and again like a fish on land. Five rolls his eyes.

“We all noticed you were acting different the last months. Luther thought you were doing something illegal, so he convinced us to check on you“, Five explains and walks downstairs to sit in the armchair Diego got for (Y/n), so that she could read there. “But what you are doing here is definitely not illegal.“

Klaus is the next one to go downstairs and goes straight to (Y/n).

“I‘m so happy to meet you. It was time for Diego to find someone like you. He started to get grumpy and...“, Klaus smiles at the startled female but can‘t finish his sentence because Diego places a hand on his shoulder and tells him to stop. Klaus shrugs.

“Oh an apple“, he states and grabs the apple out of the basket. Klaus takes a bite and sits down on the bed.

Luther, Allison and Vanya go downstairs too. While Vanya stays next to Five and leans against the armchair, her two siblings join Klaus on the bed.

“I didn‘t invite you here. Why are you staying?“, Diego asks annoyed and angry at the same time. At least, his siblings just ran into him making out with his secret girlfriend.

“Don‘t be so mean to your siblings, D“, (Y/n) says and reaches for her boyfriend. Her hand touches his shoulder, and he moves so that he leans against the counter next to her.

“Yeah, D. Don‘t be so mean“, Klaus says and lets himself fall back on the bed. “I hope you did nothing nasty in this bed.“ Diego and (Y/n) look at each other and smile.

“What‘s your name?“, Vanya asks and tries to change the subject. She smiles friendly at Diegos girlfriend.

“(Y/n).“

“Why didn‘t you take her to the dinner tonight?“, Allison asks.

“Yeah, Diego. Why didn‘t you?“, (Y/n) questions and tilts her head. Diego sighs and rolls his brown eyes. Now his girlfriend and sister are teaming up against him.

“Because you guys would have scared her off“, Diego explains and grabs the sweater from the counter to put it on his chest.

“Well, we aren‘t going to leave until we know everything about her and your secret relationship“, Klaus says with a giggle.

It‘s 3 am when they leave again. All of them have smiles on their lips because the night was better than any family dinner they ever had.

Diegos smile gets even brighter when the door is closed again and his siblings are gone. Immediately, he turns to his girlfriend, wraps his arms around her and lifts her up. (Y/n) laughs and wraps her legs around his waist. Her back touches the cold wall but Diegos lips on hers are enough to distract her.

“The next person coming through this door and disturbing us, is going to feel my rage“, Diego states and walks downstairs with (Y/n) in his strong arms. He lets himself and the female in his arms fall onto the bed and even though they are slightly tired, they aren‘t going to sleep the next hours.

✤  ·  ✤  ·  ✤  ·  ✤  ·  ✤

Not a day went by where I wondered how my real parents were doing. If they ever thought about me or hoped I was leading a good life. Reginald never told us where we were really from, he refused to tell us any information.

All he told us was that he adopted us to become one big family. That turned out to be a lie considering the fact that this stupid mansion never felt like home nor was anyone living here my family.

We trained, fought bad guys, studied and maybe had half an hour of free time to talk to our siblings. Our life was controlled by this crazy man for his fucked up experiment.

I never asked to be born with powers, this life wasn't what I wanted at all. I wanted to go to school, have crushes, gossip about stupid things with my friends like a normal kid.

Being controlled about my powers and my life by some stranger that doesn't love me wasn't fair. I knew it was hopeless to think that my parents may want me back or maybe even regret giving me away but dreaming about that possibility sounded better than being stuck in this loveless mansion.

Everyday I hoped to have the courage to talk to my siblings about all of this, wishing to have a normal life or joking about running away. I knew that if I even brought up the idea, they would've made fun of me; They were just different from me.

The other six seemed to enjoy being superheroes and saving lives. Being the city heroes, flashing a smile and waving to the camera. Sure, it felt accomplishing doing the right thing and fighting the bad but was it something I wanted to do for the rest of my life?

'Number Eight, I suggest you stop playing with your food and get to eating. You will lose your dessert privilege.' Reginald yelled from across the table.

I had the worst day in training, my powers were drained and it was just so hard to focus. Maybe the will and motivation was just not there anymore, there were no more reason for me to try.

'Sure, I don't care.' I mumbled under my breath. It didn't matter if Reginald heard me or not, I was at a point where nothing mattered to me.

'What did you say?' I knew he heard me, Reginald was just going to get mad so I never understood why he asked again.

Standing up from my chair, I looked at him dead in the eye. 'I don't care about some stupid dessert.'

'You better watch your tone young lady.'

My siblings all had their eyes widened; Not only were we not allowed to talk at the dinner table, raising our voice at Reginald was something we thought we'd never see.

As tired as I was of our dear father, I never thought there would be a day where I stood up to Reginald let alone scream at him.

'Either Number Three has rumored you to be utterly stupid or you suddenly have Number Four's power and is possessed by a psychopath. Cut it out this instant.'

'I don't need powers to tell you how bad of a father you are.' I clenched my fist, 'Do you ever think about how I feel? Wait a better question is: Do you even care?'

Reginald stood up quickly, shaking the tables as the plates and silverware clinked against each other. The rest of the siblings flinched as our father shout angrily. 'I advise you to think about what you want to say next, Number Eight.'

'Avoiding the question, hmm I see. So you want me to obey your orders but when I ask you a simple question you can't answer?'

'Number Eigh-'

'What? I just want to know if you genuinely care about us?' There was not a day where I care about this man, I have no good memory of my childhood. But for some reason, I had tears forming under my eyes. 'Did you ever, ever love us?'

Maybe deep down I always thought there was a small chance of Reginald actually caring about us. Perhaps he did love us, it was just that he didn't know how to act on it. Maybe he was just a bad parent not knowing how to show love.

Reginald and the rest of the Umbrella Academy just stared at me, funny how we were supposed to look out for each other out on the field but none of my siblings had my back now. It wasn't like I had formed a genuine relationship with my siblings anyway; they were an experiment to our dad's little project also.

'It's okay, I hate this family. I never loved being here, I'm just used for your amusement right dad?'

It was mind-boggling how all Reginald wanted to do was boss us around but this time, he didn't say a word. Not that anything that came out of his mouth would've stopped me from leaving this family.

‘Y/N, maybe you need a bath? Perhaps I can read you your favorite book?’ Grace said sweetly, it made me sad that she was so sweet to us yet she wasn’t real. Robot or not, she was caring than anyone I’ve ever met.

‘I’m fine, mom. Thank you.’ I smiled lightly, I knew that that wouldn’t mean anything to her; She was a machine after all.

I took a good look at Reginald again, he didn’t move a muscle nor did he try to speak a word to me. As I chuckled lightly, shaking my head. ‘Goodbye dad.’

‘You come back this instant!’ Reginald yelled, chasing me as I stomped my way towards the front door. I could hear the rest of my siblings running after us, mumbling amongst each other.

Turning around, I glared at father and put my hand in front of me. My power to manipulate physical action made Reginald stop immediately, causing him to scream even more. ‘You do not walk away from me Number Eight!’

‘I’m done listening to you. I’m done being unhappy in this stupid house!’ Motioning to zip his lips with my hand, my power caused him to keep his mouth shut. I looked over my siblings who all stood next to Reginald. I never used my power on them yet they froze in place, worried and scared for me. ‘Are you guys going to try to stop me?’

Luther bit his lips, shook his head as he stared at me seriously. Diego snickered, ‘Do whatever you want, you’re not going to survive a single day out there alone.’

‘Diego!’ Allison bickered, hitting him on his arm.

‘You’re just a kid, you know?’ Five cautioned, spoke to me as if he was over me as always.

‘As long as I’m away from here and out of this family, I don’t care.’

Klaus, Ben and Vanya looked at me with a sad face, it was as if they felt sorry for me. At this point, I didn’t even care if they worried for me. All seven of them never had my back, even until now.

‘Even with the lack of respect and love between us, I do wish you guys the best.’ I glanced at Diego, nodding to him as I acknowledged him. ‘Even you, Diego.’

Reaching over for the front door, I looked at my family one more time. Leaving this dysfunctional, insane family would be the best decision that I’ll ever make. No other words were shared between us. it was just me walking out the front door and never looking back.
