evermore | ben hargreeves x fem!reader

Y/N grew up knowing that happily ever after only exists in fairytales, until Ben makes her realize it was not.

notes: 8/9 of my 100 followers celebration! mentions of abuse and neglect. i imagine this one for umbrella!ben. au where ben doesn’t die and five doesn’t disapppear.

this pain wouldn’t be for evermore.

When Y/N was a child, she knew that she wasn’t deserving of love.

She was different from her siblings and father. They didn’t have powers, but she did. And this made her weird and not like them.

And to make matters worse, Y/N believed that she was the reason why their mother died. She died a few months after giving birth to Y/N. Though her siblings and father would never tell her this, her mother loved more than she ever loved them. She was every adamant to not sell her away when Reginald Hargreeves came knocking on their door, even when they desperately needed the money.

Her family resented her so much. They made her their maid. She cleaned, cooked, did laundry, maintained the garden, and etc. She took care of everyone in that house even when nobody took care of her.

Though, maintaining the household was not a problem for her. Since she had help. She had the ability of talking to animals. She was able to persuade them into doing what she needed them to do. She is able to talk to said animals, just to chat and talk about families as if they had been friends for decades. And that is the main reason why she never she never felt alone in this cruel world.

♡ ♡ ♡

Y/N was on her way to the market when she saw a bunch of kids who were dressed in uniforms with someone who looks like their mother.

She tried to mind her own business, buying her family’s needs and wants and trying to budget everything, she saw two boys running around, chasing one another. She slightly smiled while looking at them, feeling slightly jealous that they were able to enjoy life and just be teenagers.

She was looking to buy some lettuce when one of the boys bumped into her.

“I’m sorry! I did not see you there.”

“It’s alright, no harm done,” Y/N replied, smiling at the boy.

“I’m Klaus,” he said smiling at her, and he pointed to the other boy, “and that’s Ben.”

Y/N looked the other boy, who hasn’t said a word to her, smiling at him as well, “Nice to me you both. I need to go ahead now,” she said before going away.

“Wait!” Klaus shouted after her.

Y/N did not stop and instead walked faster. She went to the checkout lane and quickly paid for the items.

She rushed home and saw her sister waiting for her, arms crossed.

“You’re late. You’re supposed to be home five minutes ago.”

“I know. I’m sorry. I got caught up in the market.”

“You know the consequences, Y/N. No dinner for today. Go do the laundry,” her father suddenly interjected.

“Yes, Sir.”

Y/N rushed to the laundry room as she tried to breathe in and out, trying to settle her feelings down. She doesn’t want to cry. Not now, not ever. If happy endings exist in this life, she wasn’t deserving of it.

♡ ♡ ♡

Later that night, Y/N went outside to just breathe. She went to the park really hungry, seeing as they did not allow her to have dinner.

She sat on one of the benches and saw duck and as well as ducklings trying to cross the park.

“And where are you going, dearest? Do you need help?” Y/N asked to the mother duck.

The duck quacked and Y/N understood. She crouched down and opened her arms, as the ducks stepped in.

Little did she know a group of seven siblings were watching her.

♡ ♡ ♡

Two and a half years later, Y/N stood by her apartment window, looking at the sunrise.

The seven siblings did manage to track her down and they learned of her conditions. They managed to help her escape from the horrid household that she was in.

Those two years passed by quickly and not without any new relationships formed.

Y/N became best friends with Klaus and Allison. Frequently going out with the two of them.

Vanya was still shy around Y/N as if it was the first time they met. Diego and Luther were still indifferent. And Five was still insulting Y/N as the day they met.

However, with Ben, it was different.

She developed something more with Ben. The two developed a romantic type of relationship, different from what she had from the others.

Ben showed her so much love at first that Y/N felt weird at first. She never felt so much love and as well acceptance from the people around her.

“Hey, you’re already awake? It’s so early.”

Y/N turned around and saw Ben walking towards her as he wrapped his arms around her. Y/N leaned her head on his shoulder as he placed a kiss on her temple.

“Well, you’re already awake, Ben. So you can’t really blame me.”

“I woke up because you weren’t in bed anymore.”

Y/N laughed as the two remained near the window, staring at the sun that was rising.

“You know I love you right?” Ben began.

“I know. I love you too, by the way,” Y/N said, looking at him.

If you told Y/N that she was to be with the love of her life a few years back, she would have never believed you. However, things have their way of working themselves out, and this time, it was for the better.

Chapter 8: Subjugation

Summary: One of the last truths come to light.

A/N: Think I made Y/N a little harsh on Luther but Luther made me mad during that episode and rewatching it made me mad at him again lol.

Warnings? Click here!

Then

You’ve had a few nights of heartbreak during your time in this house. But nothing hit harder than when Ben broke the news to you.

Luther and Allison’s well known secret was that they were infatuated with each other. You all saw it. They did a terrible job at hiding it.

Luther tried to mask it by pretending to be caring “older” brother but you and Vanya never got the same treatment.

Allison tried to claim it was because she viewed him as a leader or some bs like that but she never treated Diego like that. In fact, whenever Luther was upset with Diego or vice versa, Allison was always Team Luther.

In fact, you all poked fun at them behind their backs. Even though you and Ben had no room to talk. To be honest, you think that’s what ate away at him.

Granted, none of your siblings ever mocked you two. At least not your face. Maybe that’s the thought that plagued Ben. Sure, he had a much better relationship with Diego and Klaus than Luther and Allison did but still.

He didn’t even know if you thought about that. He never thought to ask you. Too afraid of what the answer would be. He never went out of his way to dim your light, for lack of a better phrase.

Reality is: you never thought about it. Well, that’s not true. You did and you approached Allison about it. She was embarrassed but she gave you the words of encouragement and you viewed her as a big sister so you took her words to heart.

It never occurred to you how Ben could’ve been feeling. Only after the night where he asked you to meet him in your special place to tell you that you shouldn’t keep chasing after a romantic relationship.

You couldn’t even be mad at him. Pragmatism was a part of his charm. He didn’t want to be mocked. He didn’t want you to be mocked. He was ashamed of that being his reasoning but you never held it against him…….too much.

You were still hurt. You still cried quietly in your room. You still thought it was unfair that Luther and Allison didn’t have enough apparent shame to stop when you had to.

But you tried seeing the bright side.

After all, you could still talk to him. Hang out with him. Play with him. Joke around with him. Pine for him. Sneak out with him. All of the fun stuff that you normally did with him and the others…..minus the pining.

——✨——

Now

When you all had returned home, you were disappointed to not find Vanya there. While your brothers argued, you ran to the phone to try and get a hold of her.

The long ringing only added to the anxiety that had a hold on you. You sat there with the phone against your ear, praying that you heard Vanya.

And you did. Just not in the way you wanted.

“You’ve reached Vanya Hargreeves, please leave a message and I’ll get back to you.”

BEEEP

“Hey, Vanya…I don’t know if you…if you’re ok but we found Leonard and…I don’t wanna assume the worst, I wanna hope that you’re ok. So please, if you get this, please call.”

Your peripheral caught Five entering the room and heading towards the bar.

“Or please come back home. It’s been too much going on and I would really like if you came home and were ok and we can just salvage what’s left of this family since the apocalypse isn’t an issue anymore……….I love you and Allison is alright, she’s gonna make it. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you.”

You calmly hung up the phone just in time to pay attention to Five pouring himself a drink.

“Take a breather, Y/N. I’m sure she’ll turn up. Need a drink?”

“I literally cannot drink right now. I mean, how can you? We don’t know who killed Leonard and they could have Vanya or worse.”

“And do you have any leads on who would have gained something from killing Leonard?”

“…outside of us? No.”

“Do you know anywhere else Leonard could’ve taken Vanya?”

“No.”

“Are you mentally prepared with digging holes and potentially finding Vanya’s body in a shallow grave?”

“Jesus Christ, Five, what the fuck?”

Five casually walked over to you with a second glass in his hand. He passed it to you. “My point is: no leads, no actions. Drink.”

You cautiously took the drink, a bit caught off guard by Five’s current casual demeanor. “O…k.”

Five went back over to his stool, soaking in his disappointment next to his….girlfriend, Dolores. The two of you sat in silence for a moment before he spoke up.

“You think we averted the apocalypse, Y/N?”

You were surprised. You haven’t really been with him for most of his escapades concerning the apocalypse until the very end.

“I’m surprised you’re asking for my opinion.”

“Why not? You catch on pretty quickly to most stuff. So?”

“Well….not sure. If you say Harold Jenkins is the cause of the apocalypse and then he goes and dies…maybe that’s the end of that. On the other hand, what if his death was…meant to happen?”

“Meant to happen?”

“Yeah like…maybe the reason they needed Harold protected was because they needed him to die on a certain day. I mean…no other commission guys came to kill us…or you to be specific.”

“So what? Now it’s the calm before the storm?”

“No. It could be the calm before the storm. But it could also not be.”

There was a moment of silence before Five let out a defeated sigh. “Now we wait…” he muttered.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Five got up and went to answer the door. You couldn’t hear much of the conversation outside of hearing the word sister which prompted you to get up and see who was there only to be met with the sight of Five letting in a big man with a suit on.

The suit was familiar but the face was not.

“Who the hell is this, Five?”

Five motioned a finger between you and the man. “Y/N, Hazel. Hazel, Y/N.” And he walked on.

The man—Hazel—offered a polite but nervous smile, leaving you more confused.

“Hi??” You cautiously waved back.

“Last time we met my…ex-partner and I.”

“Shot up the place? Ohhhhhhh…..K.”

You walked into the living room and walked over to Five. Hazel casually followed suit.

“Five, why is he here?”

“I dunno…” Five swiveled around on the seat. “Why are you here, Hazel? Here to kill me?” He gestured in your direction. “And, by extension, my sister?”

“Me?”

“No witnesses.” Five responded casually.

“None of that.” Hazel replied. “I can understand why you might feel that way. There’s not much I can do about the past. I do wanna just mention that it is an honor to be talking to you. That job you did in Calhoun, that shit’s legendary—”

“Why are you here, Hazel?” Five repeated with a firmer tone.

“Well—” Hazel started to talk before you felt yourself being pulled back by Diego and witnessed him launch a kick into Hazel’s side, knocking him over.

“Diego, stop!” Five shouted, only to be ignored when Diego flipped over Hazel and kicked him in the face as the assassin tried to stand.

The two begin to fight each other.

“Diego, that’s enough!” You tried, only to be ignored as well.

Five casually fiddled with his straw. “You know, before you kill him, you might wanna hear what he has to say.”

Once the two were upright, Diego pulled out a knife. “I’m gonna kill you for what you did to Patch.”

“Or don’t. See how that goes.”

You let out a heavy sigh and stood next to Five watching the brutal scrap. Filled with stabs to the thigh, punches square to the face and Diego’s desperate attempts to knock over his bigger opponent.

It would be exciting if this all didn’t feel…exhausting to watch. Especially when you still had Vanya to look for.

Hazel wrapped Diego into a bear hug only for Diego to counter with a harsh bite to his ear, Hazel letting out a painful yell in response.

Five, deciding he had enough, blinked out of sight before appearing behind Diego and smashing a glass over his head, knocking him unconscious.

“I draw the line at biting.” Five stated as Hazel collected himself. “Hazel, whatever you came here to say, I suggest you make it quick…before he comes around.”

“I left my partner, quit the Commission, and came to volunteer.”

“For what?”

“To help stop the apocalypse. I have a vested interest in a doughnut shop.”

“Oh that…” You started. “Yeah, I don’t think that’s happening anymore.”

“What?” Hazel asked in disbelief.

“What she said. You’re a day late and a dollar short.”

“Meaning?”

“Meaning the fact that you’re here right now means, without a shadow of a doubt, that the apocalypse is over.”

“Really? How do you know?”

“The mark…is dead. Found him this morning. You were the last known unknown in the equation.”

Hazel let out a chuckle. “Shit. Really?”

You nodded. “Really.”

“And if you’re out, then Hellrider ain’t riding.”

“Oh…” Hazel let out a relieved but exhausted breath. All of the hype and resolve he built up just…gone but he was happy about that. “Alright!”

He walked over to the bar and took a drink of what was left in the blender. A deep sigh escaped from his body as you went back over to the phone, minding Diego as you did, and waited for a hopeful call from Vanya as Five and Hazel talked.

The only aspect of the conversation that caught your attention was when Five looked back at Diego and then at you.

“I guess I would have grown up to be an emotionally stunted man-child like everyone else around here.”

“I heard that.” You called out. “And I am NOT emotionally stunted, I’ve just got a few issues.”

“Stemming from what Y/N?” Five joked.

“……..shut up.”

“Well, there you go. Now you can grow up.” Hazel suggested before standing up. “Good luck.” Hazel was about to walk out of the room before Five called out to him.

“One more thing before you go.”

“Shoot.”

“Which one of you was the trigger man for Detective Patch?”

“Trigger woman.”

Five sighed. “That’s too bad. That gun would’ve cleared my brother’s name.”

“Well, today’s your lucky day, amigo.” Hazel then pulled two guns out of his back pockets and placed them on the bar. “Take’em both. I’m done with this life.”

The former Commission assassin then walked off out of the house.

“I’m gonna go to my room for a nap.” You spoke, before walking off.

——✨——

You probably would’ve been heartbroken to see the state Vanya was currently in. A shaken and traumatized state as she stared blankly at her violin. The previous events played vividly in her mind.

The way she killed Leonard. It only struck her how excessive it was afterwards. Maybe he deserved, yeah, but Vanya had never done something so…violent……

‘Allison…’ she thought.

All the while her messages played and it felt like mockery from the normal life she has undoubtedly left behind. The life where she was the only one of her siblings to not have powers.

The life where she felt more comfortable slumped in the shadows while everyone else shined. The life that was no more and she never thought she’d yearn for it so much.

She had thought she made peace with it before because she had seen the mental toll it had taken on the rest of you. How you all yearned for your father’s approval in your own ways and it grew into these monsters that held on tightly to all of you like leeches.

As if to make matters worse, the next voicemail was from Allison.

“Hey, Vanya, it’s me. I just wanted to…things have gotten so messed up. All I ever wanted was to be a good sister to you. Guess I pretty much failed at that. But you need to call me, okay? I love you sis.”

The sound of Allison’s next being sliced open by Vanya’s own hands playing on a punishing loop as she remembered the stunned look on her sister’s face, realizing what had happened to her.

The image had done a good job of seeing itself into her mind as Vanya chanted ‘I’m sorry’ over and over again, in a naive attempt to wish she could just turn back time.

“Next message.”

“Hey, Vanya…I don’t know if you…if you’re ok but we found Leonard and…I don’t wanna assume the worst, I wanna hope that you’re ok. So please, if you get this, please call. Or please come back home. It’s been too much going on and I would really like if you came home and were ok and we can just salvage what’s left of this family since the apocalypse isn’t an issue anymore……….I love you and Allison is alright, she’s gonna make it. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you.”

Vanya looked back at the answering machine. While she didn’t want to admit to herself, a part of her shut down the voice that spoke down to her and replaced it with something else…there was hope.

Hope that she had not been completely excommunicated from her family. Hope that Allison can forgive her. Hope that this could all be casted aside as a bad dream.

Hope that she can come home into warm and welcoming arms.

In a terrible twist of fate, she’ll be both right and wrong.

——✨——

You were awoken from your nap with a rumble. Some trinkets and other decor rattled while others fell to their destruction. Dust being pulled from their corners and fluttering down like snow before everything stopped.

‘What the hell was that?’

You weren’t the only one who realized the mild earthquake was happening as Klaus exited his own room at the same time.

“Glowbug, you felt that too, right?”

“Yeah?”

Klaus let out an exhausted huff. “Something tells me we can’t ignore this.”

——✨——

Neither of you were prepared for the sight of Vanya locked away in a soundproof room under the house. She was in distress and this nagging feeling of Deja Vu coming from you was not helping the situation.

“You locked up our sister because you think she has powers?” Diego was in a state of disbelief.

He’s seen Luther make some stupid decisions but this took the cake.

Klaus had never thought ANY of his siblings would do something…like this.

And you?

Well, you were pissed.

“Luther, this isn’t funny. Let her out of there.”

He gave you a woeful look. “I can’t do that, Y/N.”

“Yes you can! She’s terrified!”

“Pogo told me.”

“And you don’t think he was lying?”

“Why would he lie about something like this?”

“He lied about knowing what happened to dad, clearly nothing’s off the table when it comes to him honoring dad’s fucked up wishes, Luther!”

Diego had surveyed the entire room. “Why would they hide something like this from us?”

“He hid so much from us.” Klaus let out.

“He hid it because he was afraid…of her.”

“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”

“Is it? Dad’s lied about everything else. Why is this so far-fetched?”

“If you’re right, then maybe she’s the one who killed Peabody.”

“And cut Allison’s throat.”

You rolled your eyes as Klaus chimed in. “Whoa, no. Let’s…I just—Sorry, just…let’s go back, all right? This is Vanya we’re talking about. Our sister! The one who always cried when we stepped on ants as kids.”

“Yeah, I know. I know it’s difficult to accept—”

“It’s not difficult to accept, it’s impossible to accept.” Klaus shouted.

“No, he’s right.” Diego backed Klaus up, turning back to Luther. “Look, we can’t keep her locked up without proof.”

Luther was shocked. “Wh-what more proof do you need?”

“Why don’t we just open the door and ask her?” Klaus suggested.

“Thank you!” You walked over to the door but were quickly stopped by Luther when he gently grabbed your arm.

“She’s not going anywhere.”

“No, even if you’re right, she needs our help, and we can’t do that if she’s locked in a cage.”

“Thank you!”

“Yeah, and for all we know, she might be struggling with this new power. I mean, it must be scary—terrifying—really to discover that you can do something that you never thought you could do.”

“Look, if what Pogo told me is even half true, then she is not just a danger to us…”

“If we help her, she’s not gonna be a danger to anyone!” You tried to get through to Luther.

Your eyes looked past Luther and everyone else followed your gaze, seeing Allison walking down the dim hall.

“Allison, what are you doing down here? You should be in bed.”

Allison scribbled on the notepad, “let her go”.

Luther shook his head. “I can’t do that. She hurt you.”

You sent a glare Luther’s way. ‘Is that really what all of this is about?’

Allison flipped to a new page, scribbling again, “my fault”

“I’m sorry but she’s staying put.”

Allison tried walking past him only to be stopped.

“Just until we know what we’re dealing with.”

She tried pushing past him again but she was stopped once more.

When everyone else saw that Luther was adamant about this and not keen on moving for anyone, not even Allison. They gave up. Klaus took hold of you and guided you along.

“Klaus—”

“Come on, we can sneak down here later when he’s not looking.” He whispered.

You glanced back watching Allison grow frustrated with Luther before turning away and walking with Klaus back up.

——✨——

There was heavy tension in the house. Allison wasn’t speaking to Luther, which meant that Luther was prowling around , keeping watch in the halls. He knew that you would try to sneak in whenever he wasn’t looking.

As evident when he caught you red-handed with a tray of food. He stood from your mother’s seat, shaking his head.

“No.”

“What? Is Vanya eating a danger to us all too?”

“I’m trying to protect us.”

“No, you’re trying to protect Allison.”

“I’m trying to protect all of us.”

“No, you’re not and I would appreciate it if you didn’t insult me by implying anything different. You didn’t even bother asking either of them what happened and you couldn’t even respect Allison in her decision.”

“Y/N—”

“Let me ask you something: if anyone else got their throat slit would you have cared this much?”

“Why do you always have to turn everything into an argument? Why do you always make everyone else the bad guy?”

You placed the tray down and pointed an accusing finger at him. “You see, that’s your problem. I don’t need to make you the bad guy. You’re doing a damn good job of it on your own. Dad lied to us about this, you think Vanya knew? Did you even ask her what happened? You know she probably didn’t even mean it. You’re making it worse by keeping her in there.”

“Y/N, what if it had been you? Think about Ben.”

You crossed your arms. “Don’t bring Ben into this.”

“You think if you were in Allison’s shoes, he would’ve been ok with Vanya…being just—”

“Vanya is not a monster. What gives you the right to act like she is?”

You had said those words without really thinking of the possible connotations. One that Luther picked up on as he stood tall.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked.

Maybe in a better state of mind. You would’ve clarified but at the moment, you felt he didn’t deserve that. “You tell me.”

BOOM

The house shook with a fury as a muffled boom caught both of you off guard. You turned to Luther who had a look of terrified realization.

“Oh god…”

At first you thought maybe intruders until the thought hit you. “Vanya.”

Kassandra Hargreeves' Scenes, S01E01: We Only See Each Other at Weddings and Funerals

This has been sitting in my drafts for a while. These last few days, I've been rewriting scenes of The Umbrella Academy to include my OC Kassandra. I tried to include the most important ones for understanding her personality, her relationships with her siblings and her overall storyline.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄✼▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Vanya Returns

“Vanya?” Kassandra’s eyes lit up with joy, or as much joy as could be considering the situation.

It had been years since they had seen each other. The same had been true with all her other siblings, yes, and she had been just as happy to see them too, but with Vanya it was slightly more incredible. After Vanya had written that book, Kassandra had been worried she would stay away from the family forever. But it was good to know she at least cared enough to come to their father’s funeral.

“You’re actually here”, Allison gasped.

Together, they walked down the stairs to greet her. Vanya looked timid, just like she always had, and in this large room, she almost looked like she had shrunken throughout the last few years.

“Hey, Kassandra”, Vanya said quietly. “Hey, Allison.”

It was good to hear that familiar voice of her thoughts again, Kassandra thought. it was good to have the family back together, or at least those that could be there.

“Can I hug you?” she asked.

Vanya nodded. So, Kassandra wrapped Vanya in her arms and held her for a few seconds. In a way, it was like all those years ago. But the hug did not linger like it used to. They parted and the room got colder again. That was when Diego brushed past them.

“What is she doing here?” he grumbled. “You don’t belong here, not after what you did.”

“Diego!” Kassandra scoffed.

“You’re seriously gonna do this today?” Allison asked.

But he just walked away, up the staircase.

“Way to dress for the occasion by the way.”

“At least I’m wearing black.”

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄✼▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Killed Dad

“Isn’t it obvious, Klaus?” Diego sighed. “He thinks one of us killed Dad.”

“Kass, is that true?” Allison asked sharply.

“It’s true”, Kassandra scoffed, kneading her fingers. “His whole mind is buzzing with it. - Now, listen here, Luther: How could you accuse us of something like that? And on the day of the funeral no less! We’re all together in one place again and all you can think of is that one of us might be a murderer? That one of us committed patricide?”

“Great job, Luther”, Diego grumbled. “Way to lead.”

“That’s not what I’m saying”, Luther mumbled.

But Diego was already out the door. Klaus soon followed, loudly proclaiming he’d kill Mom next.

“I wasn’t finished!”

But the whole room emptied out. Soon, the only person left was Kassandra, who looked up at him with large, angry eyes.

“Kass, listen-”

“Oh, I’ll listen”, Kassandra scoffed, “if you tell me why on Earth you’d think that one of us would kill Dad. What has gotten into you since I last saw you?”

“I already told you. He was making remarks about being careful who to trust and… and his monocle, where is his monocle? It has to have been personal, that thing is worthless.”

“And that’s your reason? That’s it?”

“You know just as well as I do that none of you had a good relationship with Dad.”

As if a button had been pushed, Kassandra’s expression turned cold.

“I know that even better than you do, Luther. Now, you listen to me for once. Just because we had a bad relationship with him doesn’t mean we’d kill him. Read the room, you idiot, can’t you tell from their reactions?”

“That’s easy for you to say.”

“You don’t need my telepathy to tell you none of them did it and none of them thought what you said was acceptable in the slightest. This is a funeral and the first time we’ve seen each other in years, so why don’t you try to get your manners together? I’d like for us to be able to all be in the same room for longer than three minutes without an absolute catastrophe. Because I don’t know about you but I liked this family and I’d like for us to pretend to have some cohesion left, at least for the length of the funeral.”

Luther sighed heavily. “But if Dad was killed-”

“No!” Kassandra cut in. “Save it for tomorrow, Luther, if for any day.”

With that, she was also gone from the room.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄✼▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Five is Back

Suddenly, there was a loud crash of thunder. Kassandra almost jumped to the ceiling in surprise. The rumbling continued, but when she looked outside the window, there was no sign of a thunderstorm to be seen. In fact, the noise was coming from the courtyard. Quickly, Kassandra hurried out of her room. Luther and Allison were already out in the hallway.

“What’s going on?” she asked them, but they just shrugged.

So, they hurried to the door to the courtyard where they ran into Diego and Vanya. But when they reached the courtyard itself, they were all frozen for a moment. It was like there was a crack in the sky, blue light whirring around it, distorting the surroundings, making noises like a lightning storm.

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

Allison grabbed Luther by the arm. “Don’t get too close.”

The tension was palpable in the air, crushing even. It made Kassandra wonder if this was a result of her powers or if this crack in the sky had changed the weather.

“Yeah, no shit!” Diego scoffed.

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

“If it were a black hole, I don’t think we’d still be standing here”, Kassandra quipped.

That was when Klaus’s voice came from behind. He came sprinting and forced his way through the group, a fire extinguisher in hand. First he tried to use it on the anomaly, but when that didn’t work, he hurled it at the thing - and it passed right through.

“What is that gonna do?!” Allison shouted.

“I don’t know, do you have a better idea?!” he squealed.

A loud surge of lightning came from the anomaly. It almost looked like…

“Someone’s on the other side!” Kassandra called.

It was an old man in a suit, eyes widened. He had his hand pressed against the anomaly

Luther grabbed her by the arm and pulled her backwards. “Everyone get behind me!”

“Yeah, get behind us!” Diego affirmed.

“I vote for running”, Klaus suggested, “come on!”

But Kassandra’s eyes were fixed on the anomaly. “They- they look like they’re trying to pass through!”

Really, two hands phased through the anomaly, sticking out to their side. The man’s face started changing rapidly. it became younger and younger. Kassandra’s breath got stuck in her throat. That face! Could it be…? Suddenly, the man fell to the ground, now a boy, wearing a suit that was too large for him. Kassandra used the confusion and dodged around Luther, running to the boy. What if it was? It couldn’t be. It was impossible. She kneeled down next to him.

“Are you okay?”

“... Kass?”

The voice. He knew her name. It had to be. They were his thoughts too. The same structures, the same aura as all those years ago, yet estranged, so far estranged and changed too. The same but different.

“Five!” Kassandra gasped.

She pulled him onto his feet, then wrapped him in a hug. All those years of waiting hadn’t been for nothing. All those years of wishing had come true. Five was finally back.

The Funeral

“He leaves behind a complicated legacy-”

“He was a monster”, Diego cut in.

Klaus let out a burst of laughter, along with a cloud of smoke.

“Diego!” Kassandra hissed, her grip around her umbrella tightening. The rain was pouring down, turning the air cold and uncomfortable.

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

“Diego!” Kassandra repeated more loudly.

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

“Would anyone like something to eat?” Mom asked, like an automated response.

“No, it’s okay, Mom”, Vanya said.

“Oh, okay.”

Kassandra gripped her umbrella even tighter, the fabric of her gloves digging into her skin.

“Look, if you wanna pay your respects”, Diego announced, stepping into the middle of the circle, 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, be quiet!” Kassandra scolded him. “Can’t this wait until after the funeral? Yes, he wasn’t the best father, but he was our father! We owe our childhood to him.”

“What a great childhood.”

“We owe us to him! He brought us together.”

“And what are we together, huh? A trainwreck.”

A trainwreck. Was that all they were? A trainwreck? No, they had to be more. This couldn’t be all that was left of the family. What had happened to them?

“You should stop talking now”, Luther said grimly.

“You know, you of all people should be on my side here, Number One”, Diego scoffed.

Homies I just saw the funniest take. It was really long, but it basically boils down to “actually, Vanya coming out as trans is homophobic, because it implies that because she’s attracted to a woman, she’s a man, thus erasing the fact that she is in fact a lesbian”. Never mind the fact that THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ELLIOT EXPERIECED IRL. Like for the longest time he lived as a lesbian, before coming out as a trans man. Author also adresses the fact that Sissy is canonically gay, and continues to be gay after Viktor leaves, and is just... Bewildered by it? Like, “why does cannon refute this point that the authors never intended to make?” I can’t, this is just so funny.

The author of the piece also takes umbrage with the fact that being with Sissy made Viktor realize he’s trans, and claims this is because Sissy was a woman and because Viktor had sex with her, then he obviously must be a man... Never mind that Sissy’s bravery in admitting her queerness to both herself and others might’ve inspired Viktor to question his identity in ways that he never dared before. Never mind that Viktor’s relationship with Sissy was the healthiest and most emotionally honest that he’s had, maybe ever. I mean, we saw enough of Hargreeves household and Viktor’s life in it. He also didn’t seem to have any friends, and his only relationship outside of his family that we saw was his romance with Harold Jenkins, which lasted like a week and ended with Viktor so unhinged he destroyed the fucking world. Which is to say, not exactly a healthy environment for self-exploration.

The author is then bewildered that everyone in the family is so supportive of his transition, and why is none of the siblings like “no, you’re a lesbian, actually”, which... The projection here is just too funny not to mention. Like I don’t know, these people are from 2019 USA, maybe, just maybe, they think being trans is OK and not a big deal? Maybe they want to support their little bro now that their family kinda works as a unit?! Author also claims that noone ever shows this amount of support towards Viktor on any other occasion, which... No?! ALLISON continues to hate Viktor, but never deadnames or misgenders him (which is a bit weird, but honestly what is your point here, that Allison isn’t enough of an asshole in season 3?!). Everyone else tries to have a normal sibling relationship with him!

(The author also calls Luthor’s sexual assault “non-consensual PDA”, which... I AM SORRY WHAT)

The only point I will give the author is that Viktor’s transition was extremely rushed and not foreshadowed at all, which is a bit disappointing, but under the circumstances understandable. Yes, I would love to have it foreshadowed more, especially in season 2. But I get that the showrunners didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, to contribute to the culture of “being trans is OK and totally normal, actually”. It’s very tricky to handle this kind of thing well, especially with the bajillion other plot points to get to.

There are three things that shed a whole new, somewhat tragic light on this post. a) author is very clearly a TERF, like, this very post has a hashtag “terf safe” *surprised pikachu face* b) author supposedly battles gender dysphoria, calls themself a “lesbian” (that, is they are AFAB) c) author is a big fan of Elliot, whom they still call Ellen, and clearly considered him a role model back when he presented as a woman and lesbian

YEAAAH... So turns out there is a kinda sad story burried under the mountain of bad takes and TERF shennenigans? Which is why I am not going to reblog or @ this person. Maybe they will find my post and realize it’s about them, but I’d rather they don’t. This post really has nothing to offer them, really. If they ever realize the grass is greener for people like them on the other side (not saying everyone with dysphoria MUST be trans, but I am pretty sure it warrants at least an exploration of one’s gender identity, and her TERF friends sure as hell aren’t going to let them have that), it sure as hell won’t be trough a post roasting their bad Umbrella Academy takes.

Find my Way Back to You - The Umbrella Academy [Part 5]

The Hargreeves never expected the teen declaring the end of the world to become someone close. But leave it up to Ryn, who can see the future, to find their way into the weird dynamic of the Hargreeves siblings. Though there are many things that don't seem right about them. Some could be chalked up to her powers, others, no one would ever believe on someone's word alone. And she knew that.

Five x OC

Vanya/Viktor & OC (Platonic)

Klaus & OC (Platonic)

------------

Notes: The weird predicament of Five's physical age vs. mental age will be addressed. Can't explain, cause it's a large part of the story (and spoilers). IT IS NOT PEDOPHILIA! not to mention both Ryn and five are asexuals (sex-repulsed and never got to figure it out respectively) so there will be no devil's tango.

I will be referring to Viktor as Vanya and with she/her pronouns for what is season 1 and season 2. I do not want to take away that part of the character, and want the transition to be included. I believe removing that and referring to him as Viktor from the start is ignoring the struggle he went through. (Nothing against people who use Viktor and he/him pronouns in fanfics that would be during s1/s2. This is just my own opinion)

----------

Series Warnings: themes of trauma and mental health, mentions of suicide, cannon typical violence, mentions of blood, mentions of injuries, alcohol consumption, drugs, toxic relationships (in reference not practice), questionable morals, swearing, gaslighting, manipulation

Chapter Warnings: talk of mental health (depression/anxiety), suicidal themes

Master List

Ryn sat before Allison and Luther early in the morning. They were nice enough to provide them with a muffin and coffee from a thanks. They were surprised on how she was dressed when they walked in, leather leggings and an over sized dark blue sweater. Again with the dark make up, pointed eyeliner and black lipstick on the top lip while the bottom was shiny with gloss. They also had the weirdly clunky over the shoulder bag again as well.

"I don't think I'm going to understand kids," Luther came to that conclusion, instead of questioning Ryn about any of it.

"You said you had some questions," Ryn reminded them calmly. They were tugging at the excessively long sleeves of her sweater.

"Yes," Allison nodded, "Thanks for being able to come so soon."

Ryn shrugged, "I said I'd be around. So, what do you want to know, I'll try to answer as best I can." She have them a wide reassuring smile.

"It's about our father," Allison started leaning forward to rest her forearms against her knees. "We found this tape, and it... we aren't sure what to think anymore. You said you can also she the past, so..." It must have been a tough question for her to be this flustered.

"Who killed our dad?" Luther asked sternly, giving the girl a determined glare.

Ryn opened up their mouth, but didn't say anything. "I'd prefer it if you would use I, Me, Myself," Ryn stated.

Luther wasn't sure what to make of it. "What?" he wondered.

Ryn visibly cringed. "You'll have me suicidal, suicidal..." they timidly sang. Silence hung in the air like a glass ornament.

"Dad killed himself..." Allison said out loud, making it the truth. Ryn said nothing just stared intently, pressing their lips together.

Luther's gaze was blank, "Why?"

Ryn lowered their gaze in thought. "What's that saying...." she groaned to herself. They saw her light up at the realization. "We only see each other at weddings and funerals."

They sat quietly, trying to figure out what Ryn meant.

"Come together, right now, over me," Ryn soon added.

"Why would he want to gather all of us?" Luther asked, easily clicked that puzzle piece into place.

Ryn curled in on themselves. "I'm sorry, but I can't be sure. I can see the past, but... not into his mind."

"It's alright," Allison assured them. "You've already told us enough."

"Is there any thing else I can do?" Ryn asked, perking up at the possibility to help.

They both shook their head. "Thank you Ryn," Luther said solemnly, though sincerely. He got up and left the room.

It just left Allison and Ryn there. "You can see anything, right?" the woman asked. Ryn nodded, not sure where this was going. "Could you... could you tell me how Claire is doing?"

Ryn softly smiled. "Claire's you're daughter, right?" Allison nodded. Ryn lowered their gaze. Not many people like looking into her eyes as they were using their ability.

Ryn saw the young girl. She was asleep in her bed, holding a stuffed animal close. She was calm in her sleep no nightmares, peaceful." Because I'm happy," Ryn could easily answer.

Allison gave her a wide smile. "I know, you probably don't think that was much, but thank you." Allison stood up. "Don't feel like you need to rush out, you're welcome to stay."

"Thanks," Ryn said, "But I'll probably head out soon. Got something to do."

"Of course," Allison said, completely understanding.

"Oh, and when you see V later, wanna let her know I'm think of taking up their offer of a violin lesson"

----------------------

Five was startled by the knock on the window next to him. He looked over to find a pesky blond there. He glared at them, rolling down the window. "What to do want, you're ruining my cover," he hissed at them.

Ryn held up a paper bag with mild grease stains. "Double cheeseburger, not tomatoes or ketchup," she told him. Five was irked that they knew his order. "What do you have against tomatoes? Like I don't like them either, but ketchup is great."

"Why did you bring me this?" he asked, snagging the bag from her.

Ryn took a sip of the drink she had in hand. "Cause otherwise you wouldn't have eaten today," they pointed out, "You may have de-aged but your still human." They crouched down to pick something up off the ground. "Diet Pepsi, for the old man you are," they hand over a soft drink. They then pulled a water bottle out of somewhere and practically threw it into the van. "And water, cause hydrate or die-drate."

Five gave them a questioning glare. "Anything else you're gonna force on me?" he asked harshly.

Ryn shrugged. "Want some company?" she offered. "I don't have anything else to do for a while."

"Are you going to talk the whole time?" Five wondered.

Ryn smirked. "Only time will tell."

"Fine, but I'll kick you out if you get too annoying," Five agreed. Instead of taking shot gun, Ryn climbed into the back of the van. They sat down next to the top half of a mannequin.

"Who's this?" Ryn joked, nudging the off balance sales product.

"Don't touch her," Five snapped. "She's Delores."

Ryn glared at the piece of plastic like they had a personal vendetta against it. "Do I want to know?" the wondered.

"Delores was the only one with me in the apocalypse," Five answered final digging into the food Ryn provided.

Ryn started at the mannequin a bit longer than what is healthy. "Oh, she's like your Wilson," Ryn commented.

Five looked to them for an explanation. Ryn let out a hum and leaned back into the shelving in the van. "It's from a movie, Cast Away. It's about this guy who was in a plane crash, and ended washed up on a deserted island. Another thing that washed up on shore was a volleyball. He hit it with a bloody hand, which sorta made a face. Guy named the ball Wilson, cause brand, and he was his companion through his years on the island.

It makes perfect sense actually. Humans are pack animals, they crave social interaction and being with other people. If there are no other people, they will find the next best thing. Be it a volleyball, mannequin, napkin, chip, or penny."

"You're talking too much," Five said in warning.

Ryn smirked and looked the the mannequin. "Delores, do you think I'm talking to much?" they asked.

Five glared angrily at Ryn. "Don't talk to Delores."

"You're just upset that she liked listening to me," Ryn joked.

"Out!" Five declared, patience already won through.

"Alright," Ryn whined, "I'm done, I'll be quiet."

-------------------

Every time they walked past he heard sniffling. Though there were wide instances between, as they were out gathering supplies. Even though they were also set for a couple weeks. It was far too late in the season for it to be allergies.

They returned with the wagon, filled with jug of water. They were still able to find functioning taps with clean water. Something he had given up in once they constructed a way to make clean drinking water from rain. Much easier now with all the ash settled.

"Look what I found," they called out, leaving the wagon in to middle of their living area for the moment. Their voice sounded horse and muffled.

He turned to look at them. They looked pale, eye sunken in, and had a thin coat of sweat on their forehead. Collecting water was no longer a struggle for either of them. "Are you alright?" he asked.

They sniffled. "Just tired, I didn't sleep well last night was just going to turn in early today.

But look, I found this sequin top. Look at it, fully sequin. These stopped being really popular in like the 80's." They laughed at the garment in their hand. "It's so shiny. Could have blinded someone with this when the sun wasn't hidden my smoke."

"How about you head in now," he offered grabbing the sequin top from them.

They scoffed at the idea. "I've still got a lot to do today" they disagreed, moving to put the water away. "I just finished refilling up the water jug. Then I was gonna go gather some more canned food. Should also go check on the farm, weeds can grow so fast. If there was time I was going to look to see if I could find some tires to replace the melted ones."

"No," he demanded.

They turned to look at him. "What?" they questioned, in disbelief.

"You're sick," he pointed out the obvious, "You should be resting."

They scoffed "It's barely a cold. We have to make sure we have enough to survive."

"And we do!" he stressed. "You've made sure of that. We have enough water for weeks, as well as a way to easily access clean water as well. We have a stock pile of can food to last us the rest of the season, as well as fresh food from the farm you made. You can give yourself some days off to make sure your healthy."

"I'll be fine," they assured him.

"What if you aren't?" he asked. "It's just the two of us. All. The medication there is left is far past expired. And there are no doctors. If you get really sick, that's it. There would be no way to treat it."

The looked him in the eye and deadpanned. "I can't die," they pointed out.

"And I don't want to find out if that is true or not," he pointed out. "So just go rest. You don't need to sleep but at least stay off your feet."

"No," they snapped. "This is my life, I get to decide what I do with it."

"Corine!" he matched their tone. "What about me? With you gone, what would happen? You drive me mad as it is, imagine how it be with out you around?"

They clenched their fists and looked to the ground. "I need to keep busy," they said. *If I stop I'll think. If I think I'll wonder what the point of trying, and I won't do anything ever again."

He slowly approached them.

" I know I'm not alright," they confessed," I've never been alright, but what am I meant to do about it. You said it yourself, there no medication, I can't regulate the chemicals in my brain to try and get me to a point I can just function. They only person I have to talk to is obsessed with time travel. My hobby is fixing things that can't be fix. The only way I'll survive is if I focus on surviving."

"But don't you want to live?" he asked hesitantly.

They snapped their head from the ground to look at them. While their eyes held tear, they were also serious. "11 years, 8 months, and 4 days," they said simply. He could easily do the math, their seventeenth birthday.

He took the final step to stand next to them. He reached out and held their hand. "What can I do to help?"

TUA S3: Thoughts and Opinions

SPOILERS AHEAD Okay, I really enjoyed the first two seasons. Dysfunctional family with super powers trying to stop the apocalypse? Yes, right up my alley. This season, they were touching more on aliens and bringing in alternate universes and doors between the universes and it was just....weird. If they make a fourth season, I hope it is more organized since this season seemed like it was all over the place. I like the Sparrow Academy, they were cool, except for Christopher the Cube. There’s no backstory in the show as to how or why he is a cube. I’m sure the comics explain it but I’m not caught up. I wish they would have kept the Sparrow Academy around longer since they killed off all except two members. And I don’t really know how to feel about Vanya becoming Viktor. I get that Elliot transitioned, which is fine, I have nothing against that. But, he’s playing a fictional character, so why does the actor and the character have to be one in the same? I just didn’t really get it. Personally, I preferred Vanya since season two gave a lesbian couple, which I don’t see often enough in media. And now Allison is the only girl in the TUA which seems kind of unbalanced if you ask me. I don’t know what they were doing with Allison’s character this season but many people seem to dislike her character this season due to some of her actions. (ie. rumoring/forcing Luther to stay and force himself upon her) and also the confrontation between her and Viktor. I get she was upset about her child not existing in the alternate reality but she seemed kind of vicious towards her siblings.

There were moments in this season that were funny, although the first two seasons offered more of a laugh for me but still managed to keep a storyline that was interesting and flowed well. Since finishing the third season, I’ve been re-watching the past two seasons since I personally preferred them over the new season.  Five, Klaus and Luther were probably my favorites this season. Diego was okay, but I feel like his character kind of went back to season one Diego, although I do like his and Lila’s relationship. Allison and Viktor I’ve never been super fond of their characters to begin with but I wasn’t too impressed with them. Ben, the Sparrow Academy Ben, was cool, I liked the contrast between him and Umbrella Academy Ben, and I feel like the guy just wanted to be appreciated and have some friends. The rest of the Sparrow Academy were pretty cool too. Ability wise, I liked Jayme, Sloane and Fei. Jayme can spit venom to make people hallucinate, Sloane can control gravity, and Fei can make ravens appear to use as a weapon; she also uses them as her eyes since she is blind. Overall, if/when they do come around to a fourth season, as I said before, I would like to see a bit more organization in terms of the storyline because this season just seemed all over the place. But I will say that one thing that TUA never fails at is the soundtrack--- that was good. Loved all three seasons’ soundtracks!

Light the Sky and Hold On Tight sounds interesting. A snippet, bitte?

Okay, this is an old one I'd put on the back burner, and it's probably not going to see the light of day since 1) pre-transition Viktor is slightly worrisome to write 2) I got my badass!Viktor needs met with Unchain Me, Sister. But this was going to be something where they had to make peace with him at the end of s1 after stopping the apocalypse, without the advantage of him forgetting who they are. Was going to center around his relationship with Luther, primarily.

-

Allison’s arms twisted around Vanya as she lay, unstirring, on the stage of the Icarus Theatre.  Her teeth squeaked as she ground them together, listening to her brothers argue about what to do with her sister.  What a joke.  It wasn’t like the siblings were equally divided on this.  It was at least three against two, four against two if Klaus was to be believed.  If they called a vote right now, it would be clear what they would do with Vanya, which was why Five and Luther were not doing so.  It was completely pointless.  Nobody was going to change their minds on this.

“I’m just trying to think realistically,” Luther was saying.  “She was willing to kill every person in the world.  We can’t just let her walk around free after this.”

“Locking her up is what triggered all of this,” Diego said loudly, gesturing emphatically.

“Not so,” Five answered calmly.  “Or probably not so.  If Jenkins was there, fighting you guys the first time it happened, Vanya was probably free.  Which would make sense.  Without me, you wouldn’t have found out Jenkins was a threat, Allison wouldn’t have gone after her and had her throat cut--you probably wouldn’t even know Vanya had powers until she came after everyone at the academy.  And she ended the world anyway.”

“Which is why she needs our help,” Diego insisted.

Through all this, only Allison and Klaus were silent.  It wasn’t like Allison could interject, as much as she wanted to.  Klaus, on the other hand, rarely engaged in family conflict.  It made him uncomfortable.  Right now, he leaned his cheek against his hand, looking like a kid trapped in a classroom on a beautiful day.  Allison was surprised he hadn’t tried to break the tension with a joke yet.

“Y’know, I saw this record in a store titled ‘Bach’s Organ Works,’ and I thought, yeah, of course it does, he had twenty kids.”

There it was.

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.

20 for Vanya?

20. What-ifs/Alternate Timelines

I have a lot of what-ifs and alternate timelines for Vanya lmao, especially ones that prevent the apocalypse because I’m a sucker for a happy ending tbh

What if Vanya was included? Why not? Klaus’s powers weren’t useful for missions, Allison’s story for Claire was literally like “yeah Klaus got distracted by ghosts in the background lol” so it’s not like a kid without offensive powers couldn’t do it

you have rebellious Vanya aus, where she decides, like some neglected children do, so act out. If her father isn’t going to acknowledge anything good about her, she’s going to make him acknowledge the bad. Punishment might be the only time he pays attention to her, after all.

(let’s call this an au where the pills suppress her powers but not so much her emotions)

So you have an au where she sneaks out and joins the missions. She breaks into the mausoleum and picks Klaus up and stares her father down with a challenge in her eyes. 

Five vanishes, and Vanya gets worse. She plays her violin at 2 in the morning. She refuses to eat her broccoli. she teams up with diego to see who can piss dad off the most

(her and Diego actually get along very well in this sort of au, honestly)

Vanya gets out and plays the violin and gets angry. She plays with fury and fire and gets second chair, because Helen is actually really very good. But she makes Helen work for it. Helen isn’t secure in her position, she always knows that Vanya is a step away from taking it from her

and maybe that should make them enemies, but it doesn’t. They’re rivals. Helen respects the hell out of Vanya, and Vanya can’t help but admire the woman who makes the most difficult pieces look effortless

(RIVALS TO LOVERS: VIOLIN EDITION)

Vanya writes her book. Except she kicks down Diego’s boiler room door and is like “DIEGO”

“WHAT”

“I WANT TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HOW MUCH DAD FUCKING SUCKS”

“I’LL BE RIGHT THERE”

as one of the rebel kids, Vanya actually got along well with Klaus as well since she helped him sneak out and 100% also smoked at least some weed with him because it would piss off Reggie tbh though she didn’t get into the harder drugs like he did

(showing up absolutely plastered to breakfast when they were sixteen was hilarious even if the laps they had to run around the block were not)

anyway Klaus crashes at her apartment sometimes, with supervision, because she loves Klaus but he has a problem and has stolen from her before but he’s still her brother but regardless

Klaus-Diego-Vanya sleepovers where they brainstorm the book to shit talk their father. Honestly it’s kind of a blast. They all get super wine drunk and end up watching Mary Poppins together with some Very Loud Opinions about nannies in general tbh

klaus throwing popcorn at the screen: BOO WHY WAS OUR CHILDHOOD NOT A MUSICAL???

diego: idk if you can have cheery musicals about child soldiers

vanya: i mean if they can have a musical about child labor in factories and the starvation of the workers in oliver twist you could do something with child superheroes

klaus: EXACTLY thank you vanya

they publish the book (luther is uNHAPPY, vanya dedicates her book to ‘all my siblings who survived the Reginald Regime but especially those who didn’t’, and she gifts Reggie a copy that says “fuck you lol” and is signed by her, diego, and klaus), they continue living, they go to the funeral when reggie kicks the bucket

and then five shows up, feral and aching

and five tells vanya about the apocalypse, and vanya thinks about their father saying time travel messed with the mind, and then she thinks - fuck the old man he was wrong about her (ordinary, fuck that, she’s Vanya Fucking Hargreeves) and he was probably wrong about Five, too

and Five is wholeheartedly believed

“Let me call Diego,” Vanya says when Five tells her about the eye, “I bet he could totally wear a police uniform and get info about the eye. And if not, I’m absolutely sure Klaus could improvise a solution. He’s good at that.”

“Klaus??” Five asks, vaguely suspicious.

“We don’t talk about the Sleepover of 2012.” Vanya intones solemnly, and refuses to answer any further questions on the topic.

Harold Jenkins comes to the apartment and tries to woo Vanya or whatever, and Vanya is kind of like... “Look, Leonard. I can be your teacher for violin. It’s my job. But I am in a relationship. And also like, super gay. If you have a problem with that then I am not the teacher for you.”

Actually scratch Diego and Klaus getting called, which they do, Vanya looks at them and her thirteen year old brother and is like “wait. actually i know someone infinitely better to crack this case wide open.”

“Who?” Five, Klaus, and Diego all ask

“My girlfriend.” Vanya says proudly, called Helen up.

And Helen walks into the building like she’s at fucking war and has such demanding confidence that they just give her the information she seeks and apologize for inconveniencing her.

“Hey Vanya are we still on for date night tomorrow?” Helen casually asks after, and Five kind of wants to be her when he grows up honestly after watching her verbally eviscerate Lance or whatever the fuck his name is

“Yeah.” Vanya confirms, “Unless there’s other apocalypse stuff to do?”

“You take all the time you need, honey.” Helen says warmly, “After all the more time you take the less you have to practice.”

“I’m gonna destroy the concert piece and you know it.” Vanya threatens.

Helen sniffs, “Okay, whatever you say second chair.”

and then they kiss and Helen ditches and the others just kind of look at Vanya judgingly

“In fairness, she’s very hot and very talented.” Vanya defends herself.

Klaus nods sagely. Vanya nods back. He gets it. 

“Concert piece?” Diego asks, because he has priorities.

“Yeah, I’ve already asked for tickets for all of you and you will be attending Diego.” Vanya smiles prettily with all her teeth.

“When is it?” Five asks

“April 1st.” Vanya tells him, “And no that isn’t an April Fools joke. You will attend and you will marvel at my skill. And maybe run interference between Helen and Allison because I’m kind of afraid they’re going to rip each others throats out to establish dominance.”

“That’s the day of the apocalypse.” Five informs her.

“Not on my goddamn watch.” Vanya says, because her family will attend her fucking concert and they will make awkward small talk with her girlfriend and the fucking apocalypse has better lay down and get over itself because nothing can stop Vanya’s goddamn plans

“I can investigate Meritech more.” Diego offers, because Lance-or-whatever-his-name-is is clearly shady as shit, “I have police contacts I could go through. Hey Vanya, your concert tickets include a plus one?”

“They can.” Vanya shrugs.

“Sweet, let me see if Patch can come.”

“She’s way too good for you, bro.”

“Shut your goddamn mouth.”

Anyway the point is they all go home, and Diego goes to talk to his police contacts and Five is definitely at home for when Hazel and Cha-Cha attack the mansion, oops. 

“Whomst the FUCK.” Vanya yells, kicking Hazel in the crotch because she’s Vanya Fucking Hargreeves she knows self defense thank you very much

“Ah.” Five says. “Hazel. How’s it going.”

“Just peachy.” Hazel wheezes, “Why’d you betray the Commission?”

“Well, you know. They cut the dental. That was really the last straw.” Five says, sarcastically.

“The dental.” Hazel echoes back, nodding very seriously, “I fucking know. You know physical therapy isn’t even covered anymore?”

“No shit?” Five says, “I mean you’d think with a job as physical as ours...”

“I know.” Hazel howls, vindicated. 

“Five.” Vanya says, rolling her eyes, “The house?”

“Oh, right.” Five frowns, looking at Hazel, “I mean. Can you like, leave? And not come back?”

“‘Fraid not.” Hazel actually sounds somewhat apologetic, “You know what the Commission is like. They’re really gunning for you.”

Five nods, because really what did he expect, “Can you leave like, temporarily? I mean you’d pretty clearly outnumbered. I don’t even know where Cha-Cha is, but judging by the furious yelling she probably met our sister and brother and Luther is hard to kill. Trust me, if he wasn’t we would have killed him when we were like, eight. But for real, can you get out of our house? I mean. Storming the den? Seriously? What kind of information did they even give you?”

“They didn’t give us any information.” Hazel responds back, sounding appropriately outraged, “They didn’t even tell us you could teleport.”

“Well that’s just rude. You’d think they wanted you dead or something.” Five muses, “But seriously, get out of my house.”

“Yeah, that’s fair.” Hazel admits, and leaves, because honestly Hazel is chill like that and knows when he’s lost. And Hazel also has a lot to think about. Like the fact that the Commission sucks and doesn’t even have dental, and how pretty the donut lady is. 

and Vanya is just like... okay. Weird. Is that going to happen again? Probably? I mean. Okay, this day has already been so goddamn weird. This week, honestly.

And they keep getting attacked by the Commission. And Vanya finds out someone broke into her apartment and stole her meds. What the fuck. 

“Did your shitty assassin friends do this?” Vanya asks, waving an empty pill bottle.

“Why would they?” Five asks, honestly confused.

“Because they’re assholes?” Vanya says, honestly outraged.

“You got me there.” Five admits.

The combined forces of Diego-and-Patch (because Patch is actually thrilled that Diego is asking for help regarding an actual fucking crime) figure out that the eyeballs are being sold illegally

Klaus is not kidnapped so he’s fine, just tagging along and living his best life, however this also means that Klaus does not steal the briefcase and Hazel and Cha-Cha are fine

Vanya keeps Five close at hand because frankly she doesn’t want him to leave again and she did really miss him. Also if she does save the world she can lord it over Helen’s head forever. 

And so Five is around when Vanya’s powers manifest, probably because they just got targeted by commission goons again because they’re trying real hard to kill five and separate Vanya

“Holy SHIT.” Five says, very intelligently, “You have POWERS.”

“Wow. Gonna have to write a fucking sequel to the shit-talking-dad book.” Vanya says, honestly a little light headed.

And then Vanya finds out her powers are sound based.

“Oh no.” Vanya says, “Where the fuck are my pills. I am not relearning how to play the violin with-powers a few days before the big concert Five, what the fuck.”

“But you need to learn to control them!” Five protests, “They’re your powers!”

“They’re a goddamn inconvenience is what they are.” Vanya states, “I mean, what am I going to do with them? Stop a bank robbery with the Umbrella Academy? Yeah, no thanks, that ship has sailed and sunk to the bottom of the ocean Titanic style. I’ll figure them out when I’m not in danger of blasting the audience halfway across the continent.”

“Yeah.” Five admits, “That’s fair.”

“Besides, if I’ve been on that shit as long as I have, and it’s been a long time, I cannot even IMAGINE what quitting cold turkey will do.” Vanya points out, very sensibly, like a siblings who has watched Klaus go through withdrawal symptoms more than once.

“Maybe there’s extra at the manor?” Five suggests, “Pogo probably knows.”

“Oh yeah I bet Pogo knows something.” Vanya mutters maybe a little bitterly.

They go back to the mansion and the Commission is honestly pulling their hair out tbh, and they ask Pogo who kind of pales and is like “UHHHH YES I CAN GET VANYA EXTRA PILLS” and goes to get them from whatever stash

“Fucking sweet.” Vanya whispers, entirely done with this situation, “The only adult male role model I had and he hid my powers from me and betrayed me. Love that for us.”

Five shrugs, “I mean, you’re right. All of our adult role models were all kinds of fucked up.”

“You vanished when we were 13.” Vanya says, “Didn’t you find like, any other adults ever?”

“Oh let me tell you about the Handler.” Five says, and proceeds to do just that. Because let’s be real, the Handler was the only human interaction Five had after forty odd years alone it was pretty damn important

Vanya, on the other hand, has strong plans to eviscerate the Handler should the two ever meet because Five deserved way better than to be forcibly made into an assassin?? honestly fuck that woman

that’s it that’s the au

Vanya finds out she has powers and is like “i have a LIFE i don’t want to interrupt it with bullshit POWERS,,, also going cold turkey off my meds seems like a bad idea if I don’t want to deal with withdrawal symptoms during my concert for fucks sake, my gf would never let me live it down if i skipped”

so vanya takes her meds, does NOT destroy the world, makes every one of her siblings go to the concert and even invites Hazel and Agnes after Hazel betrays Cha-Cha to join team No-Apocalypse. 

and then introduces them all to her girlfriend

“Holy shit Vanya.” Helen deadpans, “Your family is all kinds of fucked up.”

“I know.” Vanya says, aggrieved, “It’s been a long fucking week. Want to go camping and help me figure out my cool sound based powers? Bet they’ll make me a better violin player than you.”

“I think the fuck not.” Helen hisses, always up for a challenge, “Let’s do this. Me and my violin vs. you and your dumb baby powers. You’re on.”

“FAMILY CAMPING TRIP.” Klaus hollers, with all the enthusiasm in his little heart.

“Holy shit this is going to be such a disaster, I just know it.” Diego mutters.

“Shut up, it’ll be nice.” Allison says, elbowing Diego with her pointy pointy elbows.

“It’s going to be a shitshow.” Vanya says serenely, because it is. That’s just who their family is. 

Wouldn’t have it any other way, though

i totally agree with all ur points abt ua I never understood the Luther hate until I got to That Episode and I was just??? what the fuck??? and the sibling dynamic they have going is prob one of the best I’ve ever seen save for Allison and Luther who just... yikes. I saw it coming and HOPING I was wrong but. everyone save for Luther was just so fucking likable even if I like Klaus the most it was just hhhh so good

uhg yeah i mean there was just. no reason for luther to be Like That? if ANY of them were gonna b like that to vanya i would imagine……. diego……. like i dont think any of them rlly Would act like that but luther’s never acted Like That and hasnt had much of a relationship w/ vanya in the show? i get he was mad she hurt allison but like. still weird. super out of the blue. and h yeah i liked how luther n allison were acting w/ eachother Right Away, like them picking on diego and talking abt allison’s family was good but i was Immediately getting the romance vibes and it wasnt. good. i was hoping it wasnt that but then allison pulled out the heart locket and i was just 😌 incest makes me. so unbelievably uncomfortable n i hope they Stop. and even though im sad klaus didnt get to see dave when 5 went back in time im so fucking relieved the dance and the kiss didnt happen. i mean. it still Happened which really fucking grossed me out but at least it didnt stick w/ them. 

#i did rlly like luther though he was good in the 1st ep and good w/ five and i think he has a lot of good potential but like. #yeah him suddenly flipping like that was so weird #yes they needed to set vanya off but. i think they really could have done that a lot of other ways #like leonard rlly couldnt set her off?? sounds fake #her destroying the house was a Scene but i mean they could have just made her go there after leonards house #i just think its so weird how they could get the sibling relationships really good and then?? #think that siblings would ever be romantically involved #they were RAISED together #like. it just dosent. work. #gross! i fucking hate luther n allison lmao god i hate incest im jhdgfdjfhjdh #ask #trransvamp

Paring: Five Hargreeves X Fem!Reader

Summary: Five goes through everything with his best friend, and when they return with the announcement of their marriage his siblings are appalled. 

Request: “I can request a FiveXreader where the reader is loving, sweet and naive, Five's best friend but the reader has no powers (You can invent a way how they became best friends and they are in love with each other, cliché but I love) One day the reader was sitting in front of the Umbrella Academy and saw Five leave in a hurry (The scene that he will travel in time) In this the reader does not abandon Five and decides to travel in time with him, they end up trapped in the apocalylipse, can you make them stay together?  (Like married I don't know) And also the scene where they go back to 2019? Sorry, if this so bored”

Five couldn’t believe his eyes. After a failed mission, he and his siblings decided to sneak out. Klaus had spotted a park on the way home, and that’s where they went. For the first time in years, they felt like kids again. They were all ten years old and had never experienced a playground before. Allison had never laughed as much, and Diego seemed to finally forget his insecurities while swinging from monkey bars. 

Even on occasion, Luther would help Ben cross the monkey bars. Vanya was finally included, and Klaus had never seemed so carefree in his life. But Five had his eyes on someone else. She sat at one of the navy blue tables, quite a ways away from the playground, watching the siblings with a soft smile on her face. A notebook was in front of her while she twirled a pencil in her hand. 

Curiosity killed the cat. Five was too intrigued not to sit with her. So despite this probably being the only time he could experience a playground, he sat in front of her, obscuring her vision from his other six siblings. Her eyes met green ones; they looked evergreen in the dark of the night. His hair almost looked black, but she knew it had to be dark brown. 

“Good evening.” Her voice, it sounded like heaven to him, “Evening.”

It felt awkward, and the silence could’ve been cut with a knife, “My names Y/n.”

“Five.”

“Five? That’s unique.” Y/n complimented, and his cheeks flushed, “Thanks….” 

Her vision went back to the other kids, “You’d think they’ve never seen a playground before.”

“They haven’t.” Five stated, looking at his siblings, “Our father is strict, so we snook out to come here.”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to come off as rude-“

“You didn’t.” Five smiled, looking at her e/c eyes. 

Since then, Five would sneak out a lot more. His power was a fantastic tool. When he and his siblings began to sneak out more, Five always invited her. Klaus, Diego, and Vanya seemed taken with her. Y/n was always so kind and sweet. Her laugh radiated, and it made everyone around her smile. It was like she was Aphrodite, and he was Ares. 

After becoming friends with the academy kids, Y/n had a habit of sitting outside the academy. She usually sat on the edge of the sidewalk with her notebook on her lap, pencil in hand. Five couldn’t remember a time when her hand wasn’t covered in graphite or ink from drawing. He adored it, though, because it was so her. It made him stare at his black pens, aimlessly smiling, knowing that she probably had the same color ink on her hand. 

Becoming friends with Five meant knowing his ambition. Five Hargreeves was driven by his goals and wanted to do them regardless of the consequence. So Y/n knew about his dream to time travel despite his father's wishes. On a gloomy day, Y/n sat on the sidewalk. The only thing drawing her from her daydream was the slam of a gate. 

“Five!”

He didn’t turn, “Five!”

Y/n grabbed his arm, “What’re you doing?”

“I’m- I’m going to time travel.” Five stated with that daze in his eyes, “And you need to stay here.”

“No! I’m not letting you go alone!” Y/n exclaimed incredulously, “Y/n, please.” Five pleaded. 

She shook her head, “Absolutely not. Either we go together, or we stay here together.”

“Fine.” Five reluctantly agreed, holding out his hand for her. 

Hesitantly Y/n slid her fingers through his. They were intertwining their hands together. Five was so focused on time-traveling correctly that he didn’t notice the pink flush on his best friend's face. But he did it, once and twice—finally a third time. Smoke clouded the area, and fire could be seen for miles. 

Y/n dropped his hand and covered her mouth. Five circled in his spot in shock. He felt nauseous and queasy. He couldn’t believe that he let this happen. He shouldn’t have pushed himself. They were stuck. Fucking hell, they were stuck, and he couldn’t do anything. Y/n ran back to the academy, and Five followed her. The h/c haired girl stared at what used to be the Umbrella Academy. Now in ruins. Five dropped to his knees, tears collecting in his eyes. 

“It’s- it’s gone….” 

Y/n hugged him tightly, “It’s okay, we’re going to be okay.”

“I’m gonna- I’m gonna be-“ 

Five didn’t get to finish his sentence. He pushed her away and threw up to the side. When he finished, Y/n took her jacket sleeve and wiped it around his mouth—gently combing his hair from his face. Y/n had never seen Five look so drained. Seeing her in front of him, taking care of him made him break. Five broke into sobs holding onto her like a lifeline. Y/n rubbed his back and held him just as tightly. 

“I’m here, Five. I’ll keep you safe.”

Being thirteen in an apocalypse seems like a death sentence, but when you grow up the way Five did, it’s more bearable. The first few months were awful. Searching for shelter, food, clothes. It was downright hell, but they made it through. On cold nights Five would hold her close to his chest, and on hot nights Y/n would always manage to get him cold water. 

Years passed, and their friendship turned into a relationship. They needed each other to survive, and they just needed each other. Five couldn’t be more grateful that she insisted on coming. He couldn’t imagine doing this alone. But now, he had his girlfriend leaning her head on his shoulder while watching the fire. His arm wrapped around her shoulder, leaving occasional kisses on her temple. 

“I couldn’t imagine this world without you.” Five confessed, “I couldn’t imagine my life without you.” Y/n challenged. 

He smirked, “Oh, really?” 

“Don’t let it go to your head, smartass.” Y/n snorted, “Too late, it’s already there, my love.” Five retorted. 

She kissed his cheek, “Love you.”

“Love you too, darling.” 

Five years later. They were twenty-five, and he wanted to make it official. It was a rather cold day wherever they were, and Five was holding her closer than ever. Y/n was shivering on the old mattress they had found. She was constantly snuggling closer to Five’s chest. They laid facing each other, and Y/n’s head was tucked under his chin. Five’s hand ran through her long hair - after being unable to cut it - soothing her nerves. 

“Marry me.”

“What?”

“I want you - Y/n - to marry me.” Five repeated, looking down at her.

Her teeth chattered, “Are you sure?”

“It’s not like there’s anyone else to choose from.”

Y/n glared playfully, and Five chuckled, “Asshole.”

“So, what do you say? Make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?”

“I say that if my fiancé doesn’t stop being an asshole, then I won't marry him.” Y/n retorted jokingly, “I love you too, pretty girl.” Five replied, smiling softly. 

He kissed her forehead and allowed her to muzzle closer into him. Gently he pulled the two plain rings he found. They were battered, of course, and the gold was dirty, but that didn’t matter. Five slipped the ring on her finger and his. Y/n placed a gentle kiss on his lips that he gladly returned. Sweet, soft, passionate, and full of love. A description of how she was. 

“Love you.”

“Love you too.” Five replied, “Now get some sleep.” 

Y/n was about to fall asleep when she heard Five mutter one last thing, “Y/n Hargreeves.”

29 years. 348 months. 1512 weeks. 10,585 days. Until a woman showed up in their shelter, offering them both a job. Five could remember pushing Y/n behind him defensively. The last thing he wanted was for her to get hurt in any interaction he had. The woman offered them a way home. Five turned to his wife, and she saw it. For the first time in forty-five years, she saw it. Hope. 

Y/n took Five’s hand in his, squeezing it gently. The softest smile crossed his features before agreeing with the woman’s offer where both of them became assassins—partners in crime. Nothing turned Five on more than seeing his wife fend for herself, and god, was she good at it. Y/n was so naive and innocent when she was ten. But now? At the age of fifty-six, she wasn’t that girl anymore. 

But when they reached the age of fifty-eight, Five finally found out the correct equation. They were at their last mission, make sure John F. Kennedy gets shot and everything goes to plan, but Five had different ideas. Taking Vanya’s book from his suitcase, he looked over the equations one last time. They were going back; Five would go home today. 

“Y/n.”

“Yes, love?”

Five sighed, “Are you ready?”

“Ready for what?”

“To go home.” 

Y/n’s smile was blissful; Five could’ve fainted on the spot, “Home?! Like- Like-“

“Home.” Five answered to his overjoyed wife. 

Y/n kissed him more passionately than ever. Five could feel her gratefulness in her kiss. His hands placed themselves on her waist, and hers were around his neck. God Five never wanted to forget this feeling. The feeling of his wife in his arms, kissing him as she would never get enough. When they pulled apart, Five opened the portal. Gripping her hand, they jumped through and landed on the leaf-filled ground in the icy rain. 

“Does anyone else see Little Number Five and Little Y/n, or is that just me?“ Klaus asked, not trusting his eyes; maybe it was an illusion from the drugs. 

Five and Y/n stood up. The first thing Y/n noticed was the ring on her finger was too big now. But Five looked down at the suit he had been wearing previously. The blazer now reached his knees instead of his waist, and Y/n’s shirt was hanging off one of her shoulders. Five and Y/n looked at each other. They were thirteen all over again. 

“Shit.” 

He grabbed Y/n’s hand and dragged her into the academy. Y/n had only been in the academy a handful of times before, and she usually was only allowed in Five’s room because she wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place. His siblings followed aimlessly and took their spots at the table. 

“What’s the date? The exact date.” Five inquired, grabbing different things around the kitchen. 

“The 24th.”

“Of what?”

“March.”

“Good.”

Y/n took place beside him as Five began making a peanut butter marshmallow sandwich. The same snack he used to love as a kid. Y/n could remember him trying to eat it back at their apartment the commission provided them but complained it was too sweet. It seems that being in his teenage body again made him crave the sweetness of the snack. 

“So, are we gonna talk about just what happened?” Luther questioned, but no one answered, “It’s been 17 years.”

Five scoffed, “It’s been a lot longer than that.”

The same big spatial jumped behind Luther as he began to take marshmallows from the cabinet, “I haven’t missed that.” Luther murmured. 

“Where’d you two go?” Diego asked. 

“The future.” Y/n answered politely, “It’s shit, by the way.” Five added spatial jumping beside her again and gently kissing her cheek. 

The siblings stared in shock at Five’s sudden act of affection; Five could feel their eyes on him, “What?”

“You just kissed her.” Allison stated, “And?”

Allison didn’t say anything, “Is it a crime for me to kiss my wife or something?” Five asked agitatedly. 

“Wife?!”

“Yes, wife.” Five sighed. 

“Called it!” Klaus exclaimed. 

“I should’ve listened to the old man. You know, jumping through space is one thing.” Five began as he looked through the fridge, “Jumping through time is a toss of the dice.” 

He came back with peanut butter in his hand at the front of the table, his wife beside him; he took in the appearance of his siblings, “Nice dress.”

“Oh, well, Danke!” Klaus smiled. 

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

“In the end, I had to project our consciousnesses forward into a suspended quantum state version of ourselves that exists across every possible instance of time.” 

Diego couldn’t wrap his head around it, “That makes no sense.”

Five went to remark, but Y/n cut him off, “It doesn’t have to. All that matters is that we’re back.”

“How long were you two there?” Luther queried, “Forty-Five years. Give or take.”

Everyone looked at the two teens in disbelief, “So what are you saying? That you’re 58?”

“Well, not exactly. Our consciences are 58, but it appears that our bodies are back to 13.” Y/n answered. 

“Wait, how does that even work?”

“It seems that Five might’ve gotten the equations wrong.” Y/n replied, and Five glared at her, “I’m not mad! I’m just happy we’re home. Appearance be damned.”

Five took notice of the newspaper in front of Y/n, “Guess I missed the funeral.”

“How’d you even know about that?” Luther inquired, “What part of the future do you not understand?” Five retorted. 

“Heart failure?” Y/n asked, “Yeah/No.” Luther and Diego contradicted. 

Five clicked his tongue, “Nice to see nothings changed.”

The teenage boy began to walk away, “Uh, that’s it? That’s all you have to say?” Allison questioned.

“What else is there to say? It’s the circle of life.”

Vanya was the first to get up and hug Y/n, “I’m glad you’re home.”

“Me too, Vanny. Me too.”

Being a part of the hargreeves family and them finding out you’re dating someone

Cue protective siblings???

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THIS WAS SO SO MUCH FUN EXCEPT I ACTUALLY ANALYZED EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING-

warnings: siblings be stalkin'-, over protective siblings, five threatening people, vanya not knowing what the hell she's doing, luther being deadpan, author not knowing what she's doing-

SIBLINGS FINDING OUT YOU'RE DATING SOMEONE

Luther

“Are you kidding me?”

Um… excuse me, number eight, but I don’t think so. Not today, not tomorrow, not till i’m dead. And even then, if Klaus isn’t dead first, my ghost will stop you.

No.

“Luther, they’re not a bad person. They’re not a serial killer or anything, so it’s cool!”

“I don’t care. No.”

“Dude, this- you can’t just say-”

“No.”

Diego

He would nod in front of you, but the second he gets home the computer turns on and he’s looking up everything he can about this person.

Do they have a criminal record?

Where do they work?

What’s their zodiac sign?

What’s their dating history?

What’s thei-

After that, he’ll go to their home address and take a peek. If he finds anything remotely incriminating (even a random cigarette, though that’s not against the law) he’d tell you to quit the relationship.

You didn’t, by the way, and he’s still pouty

Allison

Uh- we all saw the show, dude.

She’d barge into Diego’s place and wordlessly sit down as they both go through information, both working off the other.

The only difference between her and Diego is that she’d look into family.

Why?

Well, who are they going to have Thanksgiving with? What kind of people are they dealing with?

Does that play into the kind of person that their s/o is?

Now, she will invite your s/o over without your knowledge. She will interrogate this person, but it’ll be hidden behind false kind smiles and laughs.

If she doesn’t find anything, you’re good to go, but that doesn’t mean she’ll hold anyone else back from doing something, or stop looking into things.

Klaus

Klaus-

Klaus just wouldn’t, dude. Like he’d become friends with the person unless they were a creep.

He has a good creep radar as he’s hanging around ghosts like 24/7.

If that was the case he’d break the news gently and be like, “Don’t worry, at least you didn’t find out when you were married.”

He’d just be super chill.

Five

He didn’t save the world just for his sibling to be hurt.

No.

Nope.

He wouldn’t be hanging around with Allison and Diego, but he’d take their research and look around the home of the person and their families. If he found anything- no stone was left unturned!- then the s/o would be out of the picture.

And before you ask, no he did NOT kill them. It was just a little threat.

:)

Ben

Ben can’t do anything without Klaus anyway, but he’d also be super chill dude because that’s our bby

Vanya

Ok so I’m torn on this one

On one hand she knows what it’s like to have an overprotective sister on your back about your s/o (hi, allison, we see you)

But on the other, she also knows what it’s like to be dating a creep while you’re left unawares.

So, Ima say that she’d be pretty chill, but she’d keep a watchful eye on any and all interactions that happen to be in front of her, analyzing every move.

Any red flag?

Five will be finding out from his favorite tipper (Vanya)

Preferences ~ How they flirt with you

This is a request by @starfishfaerie. Hope you like this as much as the last one!

Luther (Number 1)

- Flirting is not a very common occurrence with Luther.

- When he does flirt, it's at the worst and most inappropriate times. This man has no sense of when and when not to do something.

- For example, the time he called you a liar; sparking a huge argument.

- "I'm not a liar Luther! That's not in my genes"

"What do you have in those jeans..."

"..."

"Am I not flirting right? Diego told me to use that one"

- Luckily, his terrible decision-making ended up being the reason you stopped fighting (with him apologizing too, of course).

- When he flirts, it's honestly very awkward. He doesn't know what to do.

- Asks his brothers for help. They always gave him horrible advice and pickup lines to use.

- You find it hilarious honestly.

Diego (Number 2)

- If you think this man would not jump at every opportunity to flirt, you are mistaken.

- He flirts literally whenever he sees an opening. Usually using very dirty pickup lines.

- "Diego, do you think it'll rain? Should I take an umbrella?"

"I'm not a weatherman, but if you're wearing that outfit, expect a few inches tonight ;)"

- In addition to pickup lines, physical contact is very common with him. He'll stand behind you, wrap his arms around your waist and whisper in your ear.

- He's the smoothest flirt ever, and you find it incredibly hot.

Allison (Number 3)

- Allison loves to flirt, and she's adorable when she does.

- Uses the cheesiest pickup lines on you.

- "Hi Alli, you good?"

"Not really. The doctor says I'm lacking Vitamin... U"

- It took you a moment to get it, but you both dissolved into giggles when you finally realized.

- You groan, and pretend to find it a terrible pickup line, but Allison sees right through you and can tell that you love it.

- Physical contact consists of her holding your hand and making eye contact as she delivers the pickup line.

- You adore this cutie and her flirting.

Klaus (Number 4)

- An incredibly playful flirt, who always makes you laugh.

- Like Diego, he'll flirt whenever he feels like it. Like Luther, sometimes it'll be at very inappropriate moments

- "Girl, you're making my groin rise from the dead"

"Klaus! We're at a funeral!"

- Cue you and Klaus earning dirty looks from all the other funeral goers as you burst into laughter.

- Not much physical contact while flirting, but he's definitely the type to wink, and casually lean against a wall and fail miserably at it.

- You love it when Klaus flirts. It's hilarious and cute at the same time, and never fails to make your day.

Five (Number 5)

- Five definitely wants to flirt with you, but he doesn't know how. So he improvises on other people's ideas.

- "Hey Y/N, did you fall from heaven? Because I would murder all my siblings to spend eternity with you in the ninth circle of hell"

" ... I know that's not how it goes, but I strangely love that."

- You do appreciate the originality.

- Will make eye contact with you, and tightly grip your hand while delivering the pickup line. He intends for it to be romantic, but honestly, it's really creepy.

- Eventually has to suck up his pride and asks Ben or Vanya for help, because he knows those are his only siblings who won't mislead him.

- You think it's admirable how much effort five puts in to please you.

Ben (Number 6)

- Ben is the most nerdy flirt ever. Be prepared for a load of dorky and cute pickup lines if you enter into a relationship with him.

- "You must play quidditch, Y/N, I know a keeper when I see one"

"You just used a Harry Potter pickup line on me.... and I love it"

- Physical contact is a MUST. He'll come up to you and hug you, then whisper in your ear, or he'll hold your hand as he speaks, or he'll full on cuddle you. Whatever it is, he has to be touching you in some way.

- This boy has won your heart, and you find his flirting adorable... and occassionally hot:

- "Come back to my room and I'll show you the big bang isn't just a theory.

"You've been hanging out with Diego and Klaus too much... I'm in"

Vanya (Number 7)

- Vanya is a shy flirt. But she IS a flirt.

- Her pickup lines are cheesy when she does use them, but most of the time, it's just this:

- "You're so stunning you made me forget the pickup line I was going to use"

"Awwww"

- She does compliment you very often though, even though that's not necessarily flirting. She'll tell you how beautiful she finds you, and how smart and sweet you are.

- Physical contact while flirting will mostly be hand holding.

- All in all, you find Vanya's flirting to be very sweet, and you enjoy it when she flirts.

So... I've done it. Introducing...

Kassandra Hargreeves - Number 8, The Seer

I'm tagging @come-along-pond and @impales because their OCs inspired me and gave me motivation to get to this point. Maybe we could ramble about our OCs together? You seem cool and nice

Here's her story:

Kassandra's power is telepathy. She constantly hears the thoughts of people around her. If she touches someone, she can look through their mind to find information or get a deeper understanding of their feelings and opinions. Because of her constant awareness of people's thoughts, it's hard to keep secrets from her.

When she was still a little child, she kept accidentally babbling secrets out because she simply didn't know they were supposed to be secrets. One day, she got in a big fight with Allison that ended in her using a rumour on her. From then on, Kassandra was a changed person. On one hand, she started wearing gloves to avoid accidentally tapping into the deeper waters of people's brains. On the other, due to Allison's rumour, she became incapable of speaking about other people's secrets. This, of course, limited the usefulness of her powers quite a bit, especially on missions. Warning her siblings of things like surprise attacks became impossible and she had to go to great lengths to compensate. But it did have one good thing for Kassandra: Because she could no longer tell people's secrets even if she wanted to, her siblings' trust in her increased.

Because of her handicap and her kind and compassionate nature, she soon became many of her siblings' main confidant, trying her very best to make them feel better regarding any issues they had - of which there were many in the house of Reginald Hargreeves. Any damage their father caused, she tried to fix. Any pain after a mission, she took on with them. When Five went missing, when Ben died, she was there. Her feelings became secondary to those of her family. She just loved her siblings too much to let them suffer.

Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave the Academy. She moved once across the country and tried to gain her distance from the past but it was hard. Even though she had been through so much, she still loved her family and kept missing them every day. Eventually, her love became mixed with hatred for the circumstances that they had grown up under, for their missions and for her own powers to some extent. She never fully got over the past.

So, when Reginald dies, Kassandra sees it as an opportunity to reconnect with her siblings and finally lay the past to rest. However, that doesn't work out too well with everyone's relationships being less than stellar, Luther going on a murder mystery hunt, their mother acting weirdly and Vanya's book throwing a shadow over everything. Then, Five returns and Kassandra's world is thrown upside-down. One one hand, she's overly happy to have him back, but on the other, the end of the world is far beyond what she can handle.

Some facts:

Kassandra knew about Vanya leaving Five snacks and would do it for her when she couldn't, for example if she was sick

She always hoped Five would come back and would sometimes stay awake at night waiting for him

Klaus once offered her some drugs to help her with the voices in her head but she had a bad trip and has since steered clear of all things drug-related

She learned how to cook from Grace

If she holds Klaus's hand, she can hear Ben

She thinks the combination of her name and her power handicap is the cruelest irony ever

Her biggest wish is that the Academy Kids could have lived a normal life and not fallen apart

How the comic! and show!Umbrellas would feel about each other

Luther: I don’t think they’d be best friends, but they’d get along. Comic!Luther might be jealous of show!Luther because compared to him, show! has a much more normal body, but that’s it.

Diego: hate hate hate hate. The Diegos would hate each other. comic!Diego would see show!Diego as a blithering cop-fucking idiot and show! would see comic! as an unfun asshole.

Allison: They wouldn’t like each other, but for very different reasons. Comic!Allison is a lot worse of a person than show!Allison, so show! would see comic! as the woman she could’ve been if she’d gone down a darker path, and so she wouldn’t like to hang around her that much. Comic! just wouldn’t care for show! She might even see show! as weak.

Klaus: besties!!!! like I said they would get together all the time to dish about their respective siblings. On a more serious note, show!Klaus might want to help comic!Klaus quit but comic!Klaus wouldn’t take show!’s help. show!Klaus might also be jealous of comic! because he’s so much more powerful.

Five: I think the Fives would hate each other but would work together. Like Allison, comic!Five is much darker than show!Five, so show! might see comic! as what “he might have been.” Show! would have to prove his usefulness to comic!, but when it comes to saving their siblings they’d team up in a heart beat and wreck shop.

Ben: I think they’d get along. We get so little of comic!Ben that it’s kind of hard to compare the two, but for the one scene of ghost comic!Ben we get, it seems like he’s pretty similar to show!Ben at is most “Klaus get your life together!!!!!”

As for sparrow!Ben and comic!, I don’t think they’d get along.

Viktor: The thing about comic!Vanya is that she goes through several stages in the comics, from normal jaded human, to evilish White Violin, to paraplegic amnesiac being looked after by Mom and Allison, to just kind of a blank slate. Because of that, show!Vikor’s relationship with comic!Vanya depends on “which” version of comic! they’re meeting. I think show! and beginning of Apocalypse Suite!Vanya just kind of wouldn’t care for each other. They might bond over their shared childhood trauma, but BAS!Vanya is just a lot more angry and tired and jaded than even s1!Viktor. As for WV!, show! would not be on board with what she’s doing and would try to stop it. Amne!Vikor and show! would again not have a lot in common, and comic! just becomes less interesting as the comics go on.

I’ve seen a couple posts about how everyone was wildly out of character and totally inconsistent this season and I’m just like... were you guys paying attention? 

1. Luther

Arguably the biggest shift in character between the two seasons, but it makes sense. Luther spent a year fending for himself and thinking his entire family was dead. 

This is the first time in his life that he had to hold down a job and actually live on his own. It was literally his first time living out in the world among anyone other than his family, and you can see in his reactions with the other characters from that life (the boss, his landlord, those kids that idolize him, and the waitress) that it has really mellowed him out. It has allowed him to be more normal, despite being very much not normal. You can see the way he’s so much more comfortable in his skin. Literally the only times he looks uncomfortable is when he’s fighting people, shirt off and body on full display. He’s still not comfortable with that, but he’s not trying to hide under huge overcoats anymore. He has people in his life who accept him for being a little weird, but really do treat him normal. 

So is he a little less uptight and mission focused? Yeah. Because he can finally see another life, and it’s the life that he honestly did want in season 1 but felt like he couldn’t have because he was number 1 and he had a responsibility to his dad, his family, and the academy to be the leader. Having a year on his own frees him of all that. 

But he also spent all that time thinking his family was dead and feeling so guilty about it. You can see in his very first interaction with Vanya, where he suddenly feels that responsibility again. He brings a gun, not knowing what’s going to happen and, despite what he told Five, he absolutely does still have that lingering feeling of responsibility. But then he sees Vanya and she’s not a threat and everything he has been holding in for the last year comes out. Because he does feel guilty as hell for what he did to Vanya, but also for the fact that his actions pushed her into causing the apocalypse. He spent a year with the knowledge that he did that and thinking that his family was dead because of his actions. 

He’s willing to listen now because he spent a year living in a world where his actions killed his whole family. And now he finds out that that didn’t happen and he has a second chance. Of course he’s going to take it! 

2. Diego

In the first season, Diego finally admitted that he wanted to be close to his family and that he cared about them and wouldn’t leave them again. He confronted the guilt about leaving, which he had previously denied. He realized the difference between revenge and honoring someone’s memory. But despite all that, he never confronted the reason why he, a grown-ass-man, wandered around the city as a leather clad, mask wearing vigilante. 

So when we see Diego show up in 1963, that’s still who he is. He wants to be that hero and he finds an answer for how to be that hero in the first several minutes that he’s there. So he takes it. I mean, what else is he going to do? His family is gone. Maybe they’ll show up again. Maybe this is it. Either way, he’s on his own like he was before, so he’s got a duty to be the hero he has chosen to be. 

And then he meets his dad again. Everyone keeps telling him he has daddy issues, and they’re right. He absolutely has daddy issues. He’s still trying to simultaneously prove that he’s good enough for his dad, but also doesn’t need Daddy’s approval. Except he does need it. He still desperately craves it and he feels gutted when his dad denies him that approval, even falling back into the stutter he had as a kid. 

Now, despite the way we joke, Diego is not dumb. He is so observant and he makes some of the most poignant statements about his siblings and the way they see the world. He sees the people around them and he understands them, but he has never been able to completely turn that gift inwards and see those same things in himself. In this season, Lila breaks through all that and he finally sees himself in her at the end. 

“Do you know how hard it is to trust people when your whole childhood was bullshit manipulation? Then why would you do that to me?”  

Diego sees himself in Lila, in her failure to break away from her mother despite the fact that he knows she wants to. In the final episode, he sees that she is just like the rest of the siblings, but she doesn’t have to be. None of them have to be stuck with their daddy issues, because they have each other. They can support and care for each other. It’s the last step of the growth he started in season 1, moving beyond his tendency to define his life and his family through their father. 

3. Allison

Throughout season 1, Allison struggled with whether or not to use her powers, but it was all centered around getting back to her daughter. When she appears in 1961, that motivation is effectively removed. She thinks everyone else is dead. She thinks that she is stranded in the past and that she will never get back. She finds a group of people to support her and before long... she finds her voice again. 

It’s no coincidence that Allison’s first spoken words in the series come right after she gives Ray that pamphlet with a bunch of added notes. She finds her voice in the civil rights movement. She finds her power there. She finds a way to help change the world, to change reality, and she does it without her powers. 

This is something she struggled with through the entirety of season 1, feeling inadequate for using her powers to get what she wanted, not knowing if anything was real or earned. Now she has the chance to earn everything without those powers and she is thriving. 

And then she is forced to use her powers again. It all turns out fine, but now she’s showing off and experiencing all over again how good it feels to have power. She spent two years in a world where she was denied equal treatment, where she could be arrested and assaulted for any reason those with more power came up with. And now she feels that power... She doesn’t have to wait for people to give her respect. She can demand it. But the pain is still there, and it’s not enough to just be respected, because these people have hurt her. They almost killed her husband. They have used their power to cause pain to her and all those who look like her time and time again and now it’s time to understand what it’s like to be powerless, to be hurt and to be unable to stop it and... 

And it’s scary. It’s scary to have that much power, to see how you could become the kind of person who uses your power to hurt others. And she knows that her power has hurt people she loves and suddenly she’s right back where she started. 

Only not entirely. 

She doesn’t shy away from her powers in the final fight. She is obviously still finding that balance and I would expect this struggle to continue for her in future seasons. Power can be addicting and Allison’s power is so strong. She knows the danger there, but she also knows that sometimes it’s needed despite the danger. 

4. Klaus

Klaus is an addict. He finds obsessions to bury himself in to avoid dealing with reality. In season 1, he buried himself in drugs and booze. When he shows up in the 60′s, he finds a new drug to bury himself in: adoration. 

Klaus is so impulsive and it’s not difficult to connect the dots of how one thing leads to another until suddenly everything is out of his control. Honestly, that’s the story of Klaus’s life, no matter where he goes. And then something changes. He gets tired of his cult and leaves. Except... that’s not really the reason. 

After all this time, Dave is still the love of his life, and he knows he has an opportunity. He knows where Dave will be at this one time and he knows exactly what he has to change to keep Dave alive. 

He also knows that Ben is going to have thoughts about this. 

I know some people were disappointed that there wasn’t more Klaus and Ben bonding this season, but it makes sense that there is tension there. I think a lot of that tension comes from Ben’s circumstances, which I’ll discuss later, but Klaus is also not responding to that tension well. 

They are fighting more than ever (not that they ever didn’t fight in season 1, where they spent much of their time being snarky to each other and Ben literally punching Klaus in the face for being an asshole), but the fighting is about something new this season. Ben wants his own life and Klaus is not in a position to give Ben what he really wants. We also learn that he has been carrying around this guilt for the last 17 years about forcing Ben to stick around as a ghost. He forced this half-life on his brother and now that it’s not enough for Ben, Klaus doesn’t want to deal with it. So he avoids and deflects and snarks and we see the toll on their relationship. We see it in the way he tries to deal with his plans around Dave entirely on his own. He focuses so much into that last ditch effort. He’s already in such a low place before this, so when that fails, we see him snap. We see him give up and crumble. And Ben falls back to his old role, trying to save Klaus from himself. 

But the tension isn’t gone and Klaus’s guilt isn’t gone. We see it again when Klaus finally agrees to let Ben possess him. Klaus has always been afraid of his powers and being possessed is just as terrifying a thought as being surrounded by the dead. And yet he gives Ben that chance. It’s the last good thing he can do at that point. 

I do wish we had gotten more closure for Klaus and Ben’s story. I think Vanya’s reveal could have been given a little more time, but that’s not really a problem with inconsistent characterization, so we’ll save that for another post. 

5. Five

OK, who would argue that Five was out of character or inconsistent? He’s obsessed with stopping the apocalypse, is willing to cross a lot of lines to save his family, and constantly frustrated by his family’s failure to go along with his plans. This is textbook Five. 

What I loved about this season was that we got to see Five finally meeting his father again. They interact as two adults, not as a child trying to find away to become his own person, frustrated by a lack of trust from his father. It allows Reggie to see Five in a different light and to actually provide advice in a constructive way, something he has almost never been able to do when viewing them as his children. But despite outward appearances and despite the fact that Five is a grown man, he still sees his father the same way he always has. He doesn’t register Reggie’s advice as advice. He hears that he’s striving beyond his abilities and that maybe he can only travel in seconds. He hears his father telling him he can’t handle time travel. That’s why he doesn’t try to actually take the very good advice until the very end.  

An old dog can still occasionally learn a new trick and Five proves that true. 

6. Ben

As I mentioned earlier, Ben is chaffing at his ghosthood. Maybe it’s because Klaus has been sober enough to keep Ben around solidly for 3 years. Maybe it’s because Ben is no longer spending all his time trying to keep Klaus alive and sober. Or maybe it’s the fact that he has finally found someone that he actually wants to spend time with. Whatever the reason, Ben wants to be alive this season. 

Again, as I mentioned, that’s causing some tension. Ben doesn’t want to be tied to Klaus, but Klaus is ignoring that because he feels so guilty about it. Ben doesn’t want to admit that he was too scared to go into the light on his own, so they’re at a bit of a standstill. 

And then Ben gets the opportunity to be alive again, if only for a while. And in a lot of ways, it’s wonderful! But it’s not the same as being truly alive. 

So when the time comes, when he’s faced with that light again... he’s not afraid. He knows that it’s time to move on. He knows this isn’t where he should be, but he also got the chance to be there for his family. He misses them, but he got to talk to Diego and Vanya. He got to save Vanya. He got to save Allison and Diego and Klaus and Luther and Five and the whole world! So while he would have stayed, he’s not sad about leaving anymore, and he’s not afraid. 

7. Vanya

OK, she was a little out of character because... you know. She had amnesia. 

But aside from erasing her past, the amnesia allowed us to see Vanya without the anger and resentment that plagued her for all of season one. Vanya was always someone who was kind and loving, someone who cares enough to leave peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches out for a missing brother for years. Someone who knows the pain of not being seen and who will always take the time to truly see other people. She’s someone who wants to love and to be loved and to protect those she loves. 

That was all here, with or without the memories. And as soon as the memories came back, so did the guilt and fear about what she had done, what she had become, terrified of what was inside her in a way that she was not when her powers first surfaced. But Ben is used to being afraid of what’s inside of him. He knows she’s not a monster and is the perfect person to explain that to her. And this time around, she has experienced the love and care and attention of her siblings (and Sissy) to back up those words. That’s how she finally accepts them as truth, how she finally accepts her power as a part of her. 

Overall, there are things that I wish this season spent more time with, but there was nothing that I felt was out of character or wildly inconsistent. The characters still struggled with all the baggage from their shitty childhood, their fear of their powers, and the guilt in their past. Some struggled in new ways this season and some continued old struggles that had never fully been resolved. The season felt very different than the first, but it still felt like the Umbrella Academy. It was a good mix of new and old and a good mix of feel-good moments we have all been waiting for and frustrating and sad moments that just come with having a complicated family. I loved this season. And now, I’m going to go re-watch every episode.
