A Powerful Duo: Chapter 1

We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals

On the twelfth hour of the first day of October 1989, forty-three women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

He got eight of them.

A young woman, in her early thirties, walked across a stage carrying a violin case. She made her way to the center of the stage where a stool sat and placed the instrument case down onto it. She then took a moment to open the case to pull out said instrument before tucking the violin under her chin. She took a deep breath before picking up her bow and begun to play, Phantom of the Opera.

Elsewhere, an alarm clock began to blare at twenty-three, twenty-eight…eleven twenty-eight p.m. A hand hit the clock, silencing it before groaning and getting out of bed. The person that was in the bed, took a moment to scratch an itch before leaving his bedroom, tiredly walking down a narrow hallway and bumping his head, causing him to groan again. He flipped two switches on a machine as he passed by it before checking on his little potted plant, watering it. Then, he took a moment to put on his space suit before exiting the space station he resided in, with a plastic bag in his hand.

Number One: Luther

Luther made his way across the moon to a pod filled to the brim with bags with some resting on the ground beside it. He placed the bag in his hand in the pile of bags that were on the ground.

(The violinist begins to speed up her playing a little)

A man with a bandana covering the lower half of his face shoves another guy into a wall, knocking over a lamp and causing a picture to become crooked before the masked guy brought the other guy to his bound family.

"Show me where the safe is or your family is dead!" the robber threatens the man.

The robber's partner shone his flashlight on the three family members and placed his hand on the grandmother's shoulder. The three bounded family members screamed in fear but, it was muffled due to the duct tape over their mouths.

"Where's the safe?" the robber asked again, leading the father into another room.

"Just leave us alone!" he pleads.

Another robber follows his partner into the other room with the father, a shadowed figured stood outside the now unguarded window. He made his way into the building, taking out one guy by snapping his neck before appearing from out behind a wall. He had a domino mask on and was dressed in black leather with a knife sheath across his chest.

Number Two: Diego

Diego began to attack the robbers, there were at least five of them.

"Who is this guy?" one managed to ask before he was knocked unconscious.

Diego continued to fight off the other robbers, sending a knife at one of them that ended with their hand impaled to the wall. Diego then broke another guys' arm before sending him into the wall, his face hitting a family portrait before he crashed to he ground.

(The violin music continues to speed up)

A multitude of cameras are flashing at a red carpet event as a woman of color in a maroon dress makes her way across the carpet. She's temporarily stopped as someone whispers into her ear before she continues walking to stand in front of the set-up backdrop.

Number Three: Allison

The paparazzi talks over themselves as they take rapid fired shots of Allison who gives them a smile. She pauses in front of the back drop and strikes a pose, going with resting her right hand on her hip before switching hands.

(The violinist then switches songs, beginning to play Angel of Music)

A man dressed in all black slides out of the top bunk and sighs.

Number Four: Klaus

"Hey, you…stay strong. I believe in you." he tells an older man that was resting on the top bunk of another bed in the room he was in as he made his way out.

"You, not so much." he tells another person in passing, this guy was on the lower bunk.

He chuckles as he walks out of the room.

"Bye Klaus," a man says.

Klaus raises his right hand, which had the word Hello tattooed on it, to the man standing behind a counter. The man places down a small Ziploc bag onto the counter that Klaus grabs and shoves into his pocket.

"We'll see you soon, Klaus," the man behind the counter says before flicking a sobriety coin at him which he was quick to catch.

"Stay sober." the man reminds him as Klaus walks out of the rehabilitation center.

(The violinist continues with her solo)

Luther makes his way across the moon to watch as the sun peeks out from behind the Earth, when a radio beeps.

"Incoming transmission," the automated voice states.

He flips open a flap to read the transmission. He can't believe what he's read, the information sending him into slight shock before his attention returns back to Earth.

Diego picks up his bloody knife off the ground.

(The song switches to Think of Me)

He goes to walk out of the house when he hears fanfare coming from the tv. Diego peers around the wall before walking into the living room, curious.

"We're going now live to a breaking story." a newscast man said on the tv.

Diego couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"One more!" a man shouts.

"Allison, here!" another man shouts.

Cameras continue to flash at Allison but, one guy stops as someone talks to him. More photographers call out Allison's name to get her to look in their direction.

"Allison! Have you heard the news? When was the last time you saw your father?" the one photographer asked.

Allison's expression changed then at the mention of her father.

"Have you heard from your brothers or sisters?" one woman asks.

A woman walks up to Allison on the carpet, talking indistinctively to her before leading her off the carpet.

"Allison, will you wear Valentino to the funeral?" a woman asks.

A police car drives by causing Klaus to look behind him for a moment before carrying on down the alleyway. He greets a hooded man, discretely trading off the sobriety coin for drugs before he exits the alley. Sirens begin to wail.

(A rock version of The Music of the Night begins to play)

Klaus sits up with a gasp, an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth. He was in the back of an ambulance and had just been revived. He takes the mask off before beginning to laugh, shaking his head wildly before letting out a groan and falling back onto a cabinet behind him. He high fives the EMT, letting out a whoop before a news fanfare from the small tv in the back of the truck played. He turns his attention to the screen, wondering what was being reported.

"Moments ago, police reported the death of the most eccentric and reclusive billionaire." the news reporter stated.

The violinist begins to finish up her solo, the lights in the theater coming on. It was empty, save for one chair in the front. In the chair sat a girl that looked identical to the violinist on the stage, she was just dressed differently. She enjoyed the performance her twin put on for her.

Number Seven and Number Eight: Vanya and Ivanna

Vanya packed up her violin and hopped off the stage, walking up to her sister. Ivanna gave her sister a smile before wrapping her arm around her sister's shoulders as they walked out of the Icarus theater. The twins stuck close together as they walked down the sidewalk, past bustling people. They walked by a tv store when Vanya stopped. Ivanna looked at her twin sister in confusion before turning to look at the tv screens, watching the news that was being shown.

"Dad…" Vanya said, trailing off.

The two of them got lost in thought for a moment as the picture being displayed switched from a picture of Reginald to a picture of the young Umbrella Academy kids except for the two of them.

"Come on, let's go home." Ivanna says.

The two of them turn away from the tv before continuing on down the sidewalk until they stopped and signaled for a cab. When one stopped, the twins climbed into the backseat and Vanya gave the driver the address to the Umbrella Academy mansion. The twins stared out of their windows as they attempted to process what had happened while also remembering the past, remembering Five's disappearance and Ben's death. When the taxi stops, Vanya pulls open the sliding door of the vehicle before stepping out, Ivanna exiting right behind her. The two of them stared up at their old home before walking across the street and up the front stairs before they each opened a door before walking into their old home. They looked around the foyer upon entering, not surprised to see that nothing had changed.

"Hi mom," Ivanna greets once she saw their mother sitting in the living room.

But, their mother never gave any sign that she heard them come in.

"Mom?" Vanya called out in confusion.

The twins could hear someone's footsteps walking down the large case of stairs.

"Vanya? Ivanna?" a familiar voice asks.

The twins turned to the steps to see their sister approaching them.

"You guys are actually here," she says as if she couldn't believe it.

"Hi Allison," they greeted.

"Hello sisters." Allison returned the greeting, approaching them.

She stopped before the twins and they were uncertain about what was going to happen next. But then Allison embraced the both of them in a hug. Footsteps approached their direction.

"Ah, what are they doing here? You don't belong here, not after what you did and neither do you, you're probably the one who convinced her to write the book in the first place." It was Diego who had walked in.

The three sisters separated from their hug and the twins looked down in guilt.

"You're seriously going to do this today?" Allison asked him.

"Way to dress for the occasion, by the way." she adds.

"At least I'm wearing black," Diego responds as he headed up the stairs.

"You know what? I-we…maybe he's right." Ivanna says.

"And we shouldn't…" Vanya adds.

"Forget about him, I'm glad you're both here." Allison tells them.

The twins give Allison small smiles each. The three of them stood there for a moment before going their separate ways. The twins walked into the living room and Allison headed upstairs. Ivanna paused to stare up at the portrait of their missing brother, Five, while Vanya walked over to the bookshelf. She searched the shelves for a moment before grabbing a familiar book.

Extra Ordinary: Our Lives as Number Seven and Number Eight. Written by: Vanya Hargreeves

Vanya flipped the book over to the back to read her little autobiography that was there before turning it back over and opening the cover. She flipped the first page to get to the blank page where the note she left their father.

Dad,

Figured, why not.

"Welcome home Ms. Vanya. And you as well Ms. Ivanna." a male voice spoke up as he walked into the room.

Vanya looked up from her book and Ivanna turned her head to look at the Chimpanzee that had walked into the room.

"Pogo, so good to see you." Vanya tells him, giving him a hug.

"Ah yes, your autobiography." Pogo says, referencing the book.

"Do you know um…did he ever read it?" Vanya asks.

"Hmm…not that I'm aware of." Pogo tells her.

"How long has it been since Five disappeared?" Ivanna piped up.

Vanya and Pogo walked over to where Ivanna stood and looked up at the portrait of the missing boy.

"It's been sixteen years, four months and fourteen days." Pogo answered.

The twins gave the chimpanzee a look of surprise, not expecting an exact answer.

"Your father insisted I keep track." he tells them.

"You wanna know something stupid? I always used to leave the lights on for him. I was scared that he would come back, it would be late, and the house would be dark and he wouldn't be able to find us, so he'd leave again. So, every night I'd make a little snack and make sure all the lights were on." Vanya says, remembering the fond memory.

"Oh, I remember your snacks. I'm pretty sure I stepped in half of those peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches." Pogo recalls.

Pogo then sighed, "Your father always believed that Number Five was still out there somewhere. He never lost hope." he tells them.

"And look at where that got him." Ivanna said.

Pogo gave a slight nod of his head before he walked out of the room. The twins took a seat on the couch and eventually the rest of their siblings joined them.

"Um…" Luther starts.

Klaus pours himself a drink at the bar in the back.

"I guess we should get this started. So, I figured we could have sort of a memorial service in the courtyard at sundown. Say a few words, just at Dad's favorite spot." Luther continued.

"Dad had a favorite spot?" Allison asked him.

"You know, under the oak tree. We used to sit out there all the time. None of you ever did that?" Luther asked them.

Klaus rounded the side of the couch, "Will there be refreshments? Tea? Scones? Cucumber sandwiches are always a winner." he says, standing beside Ivanna who was seated on the couch.

"What? No. And put that out. Dad didn't allow smoking in here." Luther chastises him.

"Is that my skirt?" Allison asks Klaus, noticing what he was wearing.

"What? Oh, yeah, this. I found it in your room. It's a little dated, I know, but it's very breathey on the bits." Klaus tells her, gesturing to his pelvis at the last part.

Allison made a face of disgust at what Klaus had suggested and Ivanna let out a chuckle at her brother's antics.

"Listen up. There are still some important things that we need to discuss, alright?" Luther says.

"Like what?" Diego asks in confusion.

"Like the way he died." Luther says as if it was obvious.

"And here we go." Diego says with a roll of his eyes.

The twins shared a look before looking back at their brother and Klaus plopped down on the couch beside Ivanna.

"I don't understand. I thought they said it was a heart attack." Vanya said.

"Yeah, according to the coroner." Luther says.

"Well, wouldn't they know?" Ivanna asked in partial confusion.

"Theoretically." Luther said.

"Theoretically?" Allison asked in disbelief, not believing her brother would doubt the professionals.

"I'm just saying, at the very least, that something happened. The last time I spoke to dad, he sounded strange." Luther says.

"Oh, quelle surprise!" Klaus said with his mouth full of his drink.

"Strange how?" Allison asks.

"He sounded on edge. Told me I should be careful who to trust." Luther tells her.

"Luther, he was a paranoid, bitter old man who was starting to lose what was left of his marbles." Diego says as he got out of his seat and approached his brother.

"No. He must've known something was going to happen." Luther argued.

He then turned his attention to Klaus, "Look, I know you don't like to do it but, I need you to talk to dad." he tells him.

Allison scoffed.

"I can't just call on dad in the afterlife and be like, "Dad, could you just…stop playing tennis with Hitler for a moment and take a quick call?"" Klaus says.

"Since when? That's your thing." Luther reminded him.

"I'm not in…the right frame of mind." Klaus says.

"You're high?" Allison asked him.

"Yeah! Yeah!" he says with a laugh.

"I mean, how are you not, listening to all this nonsense?" he questioned.

"Well, sober up. This is important." Luther tells him.

Klaus sighs.

"Then there's the issue of the missing monocle." Luther continued on.

"Who gives a shit about a stupid monocle?" Diego asked.

"Exactly. Its worthless. So whoever took it, I think it was personal. Someone close to him. Someone with a grudge." Luther says.

"Where are you going with this?" Klaus asked him in suspicion.

"Oh, isn't it obvious, Klaus? He thinks one of us killed dad." Diego tells him.

Klaus looks at Luther when he didn't protest the claim.

"You do?" He asked in disbelief.

"How could you think that?" The twins asked at the same time.

"Great job, Luther. Way to lead." Diego tells him with sarcasm in his tone, walking past him.

"That's not what I'm saying." Luther says.

"You're crazy, man. You're crazy. Crazy." Klaus says as he gets up from the couch.

He puts out his cigarette in the ashtray on the table beside the couch and the twins stood up from the couch too.

"I'm not finished." Luther states.

"Sorry, I'm just gonna go murder mom. Be right back." Klaus says sarcastically as he walked out the living room.

The twins followed him out and then went separate ways. Ivanna went upstairs and down the hall to her old room that she shared with her twin sister. It still looked the same as when they left it. She had begun to go through her old things that remained in the room, her old uniform in the closet when Tiffany's I Think We're Alone Now began playing from Luther's room. She closed the door to the closet and moved to go through Vanya's sheet music before allowing the melody of the song to move her, dancing in the room. She was enjoying herself when thunder rumbled and the music suddenly stopped. Ivanna stopped dancing when things began to break and some metal objects flew from where they sat to stick to an opposing wall. She left the room and dashed downstairs to join her siblings in the kitchen before walking out into the backyard with her siblings.

"What is it?" Vanya asked, looking up at the sky.

There was some kind of weird disturbance in the sky.

"Don't get too close!" Allison warns, pulling her twin sisters back by their arms.

"Yeah, no shit." Diego says.

"Looks like some kind of temporal anomaly. Either that or a miniature black hole. One of the two." Luther says.

"Pretty big difference there, Paul Bunyan." Diego tells him.

"Out of the way!" Klaus shouts as he shoved his way between his siblings.

"What are you-?" Luther began to question.

Klaus was carrying a fire extinguisher in his hands. He attempted to use it to extinguish the anomaly before he threw it at it, which made it disappear.

"What is that going to do?" Allison asked him.

"I don't know. Do you have a better idea?" Klaus asks her.

Some electricity crackled from the anomaly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Everyone get behind me," Luther said, stretching his arms out in an attempt to shield his siblings.

"Yeah, get behind us." Diego says, pushing Klaus back.

"I vote for running, c'mon!" Klaus says.

Vanya held onto her sister's hand, looking at Ivanna with fear in her eyes but, they remained. She turned back to the blue anomaly in the sky and watched as some old guy seemingly became younger before he fell to the ground and the anomaly vanished. The six Hargreeves siblings approached the child on the ground and were surprised when he stood up.

"Does anyone else see little Number Five, or is that just me?" Klaus asks.

Five looks down at himself, taking in his own appearance.

"Shit." he says to himself.

The rest of the siblings stared at him in shock before they followed him back inside when he made his way past them. Five grabbed a butter knife and a cutting board that he sat down on the table in the kitchen.

“What’s the date? The exact date,” he asks, going to grab the remaining bread in its bag.

“The twenty-fourth.” Vanya answered him.

“Of what?” Five asked.

“March.” Ivanna tells him.

Five took a moment to look at his twin sisters, he would never admit it aloud but, he missed them.

“Good.” he says, setting the bag of bread down on the cutting board.

“So, are we going to talk about what just happened?” Luther asks him.

Five ignored his brother, pulling out two slices of bread and setting it down on the wooden cutting board. Klaus and Allison shared a look and Ivanna stared at her returned brother who looked the same as when he disappeared.

“It’s been seventeen years.” Luther says, getting up from the table.

Five scoffs, “Its been a lot longer than that.” he says before teleporting behind Luther.

“I haven’t missed that.” Luther said to himself.

“Where’d you go?” Diego asks.

Five picked up a bag of mini marshmallows of the shelf, “The future,” he answers before teleporting back over to the end of the table where he was going to make a sandwich.

“It’s shit, by the way.” he adds.

“Called it.” Klaus says.

“I should’ve listened to the old man.” Five started, walking over to the fridge.

“You know, jumping through space is one thing…” he trailed off, grabbing the jar of peanut butter and walking back over to the cutting board.

“Jumping through time is a toss of the dice.” he finished.

He unscrewed the peanut butter jar before setting it down and then he looked up at Klaus.

“Nice dress.” he tells him.

“Oh, well, danke.” Klaus says.

“Wait, how did you get back?” Vanya asks.

“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.” Five explained.

The five Hargreeves siblings shared a look of confusion with each other except for Ivanna who had spent some time doing research on the likes of time traveling and other things when Five had vanished.

“That makes no sense,” Diego said.

“Well it would if you were smarter,” Five remarks as he began to make his sandwich.

Diego immediately stands up but, Luther puts an arm out to stop him.

“How long were you there?” Luther asked.

“Forty-five years. Give or take.” Five answers.

Luther and Diego both sit back down in shock of the revelation.

“So what are you saying? That you’re fifty-eight?” Luther asks.

“No, my consciousness is fifty-eight. Apparently, my body is now thirteen again.” Five tells him.

“Wait, how does that even work?” Vanya asked in confusion.

“Delores kept saying the equations were off. Eh.” Five says before taking a bite out of his peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.

He turned back around to face his family, “Bet she’s laughing now.” he says to himself.

“Delores?” Ivanna asked in confusion.

Five hummed in thoughtfulness before picking up the newspaper on the table with the article in the front talking about the death of Reginald Hargreeves.

“Guess I missed the funeral.” he says.

“How’d you know about that?” Luther asks.

Five makes a face at Luther, “What part of the future do you not understand?” he asked him.

“Heart failure, huh?” he then asks.

“Yeah,” Diego said.

“No,” Luther says immediately after.

“Hmm. Nice to see nothing’s changed.” Five says before going to leave the kitchen.

“Uh, that’s it? That’s all you have to say?” Allison calls after him.

“What else is there to say? Circle of life.” Five responded before walking out of the kitchen.

“Well…that was interesting.” Luther says.

The six siblings all got up from the table and parted ways again. The twins headed to the living room where they found Five, staring up at his portrait over the fireplace.

“Nice to know dad didn’t forget me.” he said, turning to the twins.

“Read your book, by the way. Found it in a library that was still standing.” he tells Vanya.

He walks around his twin sisters, taking in the grandness of the living room before turning back to them again.

“I thought it was pretty good, all things considered.” he tells her.

“Yeah, definitely ballsy, giving up the family secrets. I’m sure it wasn’t that hard to do when you had a good motivator by your side. I’m sure that went over well.” he continued.

“They hate us.” Vanya told him.

“Oh, there are worse things that can happen.” Five says.

“You mean, like what happened to Ben?” Ivanna asked him.

“Was it bad?” Five asks.

The twins only nodded their heads at the same time in silence, hating to remember that day. Five felt a bit guilty for having to bring up that bad memory for his siblings. The three of them eventually joined the rest of the siblings, as well as Grace and Pogo, to head back into the courtyard, everyone, but Luther and Diego, opened an umbrella to shield themselves from the rain.

“Did something happen?” Grace asks.

The siblings all looked to their mother, confused by her question.

“Dad died, remember?” Allison said.

“Oh. Yes, of course.” Grace then said sadly.

“Is mom okay?” Allison asked Diego.

“Yeah, yeah. She’s fine. She just needs to rest. You know, recharge.” Diego tells her.

Pogo took his place on the left side of Vanya, Ivanna standing on her right.

“Whenever you’re ready, dear boy.” he tells Luther.

Luther nodded his head before opening the urn that contained Reginald’s ashes. He poured it out and they all watched as it just fell to the ground in a pile.

“Probably would’ve been better with some wind.” Luther says.

“Does anyone wish to speak?” Pogo asks.

Nobody said anything, its not really like any of them had anything nice to say about the man except for Luther probably, who always tried to see the good in their father. But, he didn’t want to say anything.

“Very well. 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…” Pogo spoke.

“He was a monster.” Diego interrupted him.

Klaus laughs at his brother’s input.

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

“Diego,” Allison called his name in an attempt to chastise him.

“My name is Number Two. You know why? Because our father couldn’t be bothered to give us actual names. He had mom do it.” Diego says.

“Would anyone like something to eat?” Grace spoke up.

“No, it’s okay mom.” Vanya tells her.

“Oh okay.” Grace says.

“Look, you want to pay your respects? Go ahead. But at least be honest about the kind of man he was.” Diego says, stepping out of the line his siblings had formed and turned to look at all of them.

“You should stop talking now.” Luther tells him.

Diego turned around to face him, “You know, you of all people should be on my side here, Number One.” he says to him.

“I’m warning you.” Luther states.

“After everything he did to you? He had to ship you a million miles away.” Diego reminds him.

“Diego, stop talking.” Luther said firmly.

“That’s how much he couldn’t stand the sight of you!” Diego tells him.

The two of them began fighting, swinging punches at the other. Vanya pulls Grace back and Ivanna follows her.

“Boys, stop this at once!” Pogo commanded.

Klaus put his arm out and pushed Five back, only for the younger boy to slap his arm away. Luther managed to land a punch on one of Diego’s arms.

“Come on, big boy!” Diego taunted.

He dodged Luther’s swing and punched him in the stomach before repeatedly hit Luther’s back when he was bent over.

“Stop it!” Vanya called out.

“Hit him. Hit him.” Klaus cheered them on.

Diego and Luther continued to fight each other. They landed punches every now and then before Luther threw Diego to the ground. Diego immediately got up and went to swing at Luther who had caught his arm.

“Get off me!” Diego says, managing to pry his arm out of Luther’s grip by dodging when Luther attempted to bring his free hand down on his outstretched arm.

They continued to fight, panting from the energy they were using.

“We don’t have time for this.” Five says before walking away, to head back inside.

“Come here, big boy!” Diego taunts again.

He stood in front of Ben’s statue and Ivanna knew that wouldn’t end well. Luther let out a shout before going to swing at Diego, who dodged his punch. Luther’s fist was heading right for the statue when Ivanna stepped in the middle, attempting to block the attack and save Ben’s memorial. The force of the punch sent the girl to the ground, rendering her unconscious.

“Ivanna!” Vanya said in alarm as she dropped her umbrella and raced over to her twin sister, kneeling beside her unconscious form.

Luther looked down at his twin sisters, surprised that Ivanna had stepped in front of him when he swung before he turned to Diego. He began to approach his brother when Diego pulled out one of his knives.

“Diego, no!” Vanya yelled.

Ignoring her, Diego threw his knife at Luther, which he redirected to cut his arm through the coat he was wearing. Luther let out a gasp before quickly covering the wound, he was panting as he made his way inside. Allison helped Vanya get her twin sister off the ground before making their way inside too.

“You never know when to stop, do you?” Vanya asked Diego.

“You got enough material for your sequel yet?” Diego asks her.

“He was my father too.” Vanya reminds him.

She walked away with Allison as the two of them supported Ivanna’s unconscious weight together and back into the house. Allison helped Vanya get their sister on the couch before she left the two of them. Vanya waited by her twin’s side until she regained consciousness.

“Ugh…what happened? I feel like I got hit by a truck.” Ivanna said when she finally came to.

“I suppose you did in a way. What were you thinking? Getting in front of Luther like that? He could have seriously injured you.” Vanya tells her.

“I couldn’t let him smash Ben’s statue. Even if it is a poor resemblance of him.” Ivanna says.

Vanya helps her twin sister get up off the couch, “Well come on then. I called us a taxi. It’s time for us to return to our apartment.” she tells her.

The twins walk out of the living room and go to stand in the foyer as they waited for the taxi to arrive. Vanya popped one of her pills into her mouth and Ivanna tugged up the ends of her gloves. Footsteps approached them from behind and they turned around to face Pogo.

“Don’t waste your time. Diego’s right, we shouldn’t have come.” Vanya tells him.

“This is your home and always will be. Should I get you both a taxi?” Pogo reminds them before asking his question.

“I already called one, but thanks.” Vanya tells them.

A horn honks from outside.

“I guess that’s us.” Ivanna says.

“Uh…I hope you know your father loved the both of you very much. In his own way.” Pogo tells them.

“Yeah, well, that’s kind of the problem, isn’t it?” Vanya asked.

“Take care of yourself,” Ivanna tells Pogo as she turns to head out the door.

“You as well Miss Ivanna, and you too Miss Vanya.” Pogo calls out.

Vanya turned and followed her sister out of the house and into the taxi. Ivanna gave the directions to their apartment complex and the taxi set off. Once they arrived at the complex, the twins split the fare and paid the driver before exiting the vehicle and headed inside. The two of them headed up the stairs and through a door that opened up to a hallway. Their apartment was the first door on the right. Vanya pulled out the keys and unlocked the door before pushing it open. She goes to flick on the lights when the lamp was turned on.

“Jesus!” Vanya exclaimed in surprise.

Ivanna pushed past her twin to see Five sitting in one of their chairs.

“You should have locks on your windows.” Five says.

“We live on the second floor.” Vanya points out, setting the keys down.

“Rapists can climb,” Five comments off-handedly.

“You are so weird,” Vanya tells him, turning to shut the door behind her.

The twins move to take a seat on their couch, across from Five.

“Is that blood?” Ivanna asks, seeing a red smudge on the white collar of the shirt Five was wearing.

“It’s nothing.” he says dismissively.

“Why are you here?” Vanya asks him.

Five let out a sigh, “Because, I’ve decided that you are the only ones that I can trust.” he says.

“Why us?” Ivanna asks.

“Because you’re ordinary.” he answered.

The twins said nothing, hating to be reminded that they weren’t like their other siblings. Five felt a pang of guilt at the looks on their faces.

“Because you’ll listen.” he tells them.

“Okay,” Vanya said.

Ivanna got up from her place on the couch and walked into the bathroom. She opened up the medicine cabinet and grabbed gauze, medical tape and hydrogen peroxide. She returned to the living room and sat on the opposite side of Vanya, closer to Five. Said boy pulled up his right sleeve of the blazer to reveal a piece of bloody gauze and blood on his skin surrounding the bandage. Five removed the bloodied gauze and Ivanna wet a clean one with some hydrogen peroxide before carefully dabbing the wound.

“When I jumped forward and got stuck in the future, do you know what I found?” he asks them.

“No,” Ivanna answered.

“Nothing. Absolutely nothing. As far as I could tell, I was the last person left alive. I never figured out, what killed the human race but,…I did find something else. The date it happens. The world ends in eight days and I have no idea how to stop it.” Five tells them.

“I’ll put on a pot of coffee.” Vanya says, getting up from the couch.
