Chapter 6

****Flashback****

They were thirteen again, the mission alarm bell was sounding off. Everyone was running through the house, trying to get ready.

"Coming through!" Allison shouted as she ran down the stairs. " Come on, Luther!"

" How will the Umbrella Academy ever become an effective crime deterrent if we can't leave the house on time for missions?" Dad asked angrily. 

" Behind you!" Luther jumped around him.

"Come along, children! Come along!" Dad ordered as he clapped his hands. In Allison's room, she was searching violently through her drawers.

" I can't find my domino mask," Allison panicked.

" It needed a little bit of TLC after the last mission," Mom said as she held out the mask.

" Thanks, Mom," Allison breathed before running out. Mom walked out of the room and looked into Luther's room to see him doing push-ups.

" Ready to go?" Mom asked.

"Yeah," Luther grunted and gave a thumbs up with a smile. She smiled and walked down the hall.

"Where's my knives?" Diego panicked as he ran into his room. She walked past Vanya's room, hearing the violin.

"Sounds beautiful, Vanya," Mom complimented.

" Thanks, Mom," Vanya smiled as she played. She walked further and heard laughing, she looked into a room and saw Klaus jumping on his bed, as something was on fire.

" Oh! Klaus!" Mom playfully scowled, she picked up a cloth and put the fire out.

" Thank you Mother," Klaus thanked her, she then walked out. 

" Boys will be boys," Mom said as she saw four Sabrinas running down the hall.

"Keep up the multiplying," Mom smiled.

" Thank, mom," the Sabrinas said, they hopped on each other before racing towards the exit as Ben almost ran passed her.

" Oh, Ben," Mom stopped him, seeing he was struggling with the uniform.

" It-It's stuck," Ben panicked. She then fixed it.

" Guys, wait for me," Ben said as he ran off.

" D-Don't mmm-" Mom heard Diego from his room. " Don't mm...mm..mm...Don't muh--muh--" She walked seeing him look down. 

" Remember, Diego, just picture the word in your mind," Mom instructed as she rubbed his arm.

" D-Don't mm--muh--Don't mm...Don't mo-move," Diego managed to say.

" You did it!" Mom gasped with a smile, Ben smiled back. " I'm so proud of you!" There was a voice clearing, they glanced to see dad in the doorway.

****Flashback over****

Sabrina now sat in the book room, reading again.

"You really shouldn't offer free drinks to Klaus," a voice said, she looked over the book to see Diego standing in front of her.

"Why not?" Sabrina asked.

"It's not really helping him," Diego said as he sat down.

" He's great at serving drinks too," Sabrina informed. " I don't have to pay him either."

"You don't pay Klaus?" Diego asked shocked. " You don't pay me either."

" I give you both a free place to stay, food, water, it's the hospitality of a sibling," Sabrina said. " Plus my bar is low in crime thanks to you."

" If I bring Eudora," Diego said as they both stood up.

" You guys broke up," Sabrina reminded him as they walked out of the room.

" Give her a free drink," Diego requested.

"Sure," Sabrina said. " As soon as I return back to the bar."

"Well, how much longer do you intend to stay here?" Diego asked.

" Till whatever mess Five is in is over," Sabrina answered. " Got to be here for the family." They then walked passed down the hall, they heard guns click, they glanced and saw two random people standing in there with guns, with creepy cartoon masks on. They started firing, Diego shielded Sabrina as he threw his knives at them. " Come on!" They started running down the hall. They hid behind the stairs; soon the two people came their way, and the two siblings attacked the intruders.

" Cha-Cha shoot him!" the man ordered.

" Would if I could!" Cha Cha said as she fought Sabrina. They shoved to the ground and took off running. Sabrina multiplied and left two of her back to fight them. Bullets were being fired, and soon Sabrina fell to the ground.

"Sabrina!" Diego grunted, she looked to see herself bleeding. The downside to her power was if her duplicates got injured, it would come back as a real injury to her. 

" I'm fine," Sabrina grunted, the two jumped over the edge, landed on the couch, and then hid behind the table. They saw Dad's portrait with eight bullet holes in it. Footsteps approach quickly followed by more rapid shooting. The two covered their heads. Sabrina saw that the blood was coming from her side and leg. Soon the shooting stopped, followed by grunts from Luther and yells from Allison. They stood up and saw the tall one in the animal mask was holding Allison up by the throat. Luther, Diego, and Sabrina all tried to fight the guy to release her. Luther picked up the guy and threw him out of the room and into the entrance room.

" Who the hell are these guys?" Allison demanded

" You're welcome," Luther said as Diego helped Sabrina up.

" We were doing fine," Sabrina informed.

" Oh, yeah, you both really had them, and so did your duplicates," Luther agreed sarcastically.

" Ever hear of a rope-a-dope?" Diego asked, gunfire started going off, and they all ducked. Sabrina crawled back behind the couch.

" Get out of here now! Go!" Luther ordered.

"Luther go!" Diego yelled as he joined his sister.

" I lost my gun," a man said.

" I'm going after them," the woman said, footsteps went away, as some entered the room. He opened the cabinet and took out a spiky weapon.

"Hello?" Vanya's voice asked. 

"Shit," Sabrina hissed as she tried to get to her feet.

"Stay down," Diego ordered.

"Is everyone okay?" Vanya asked. " Guys?" There was a smacking sound, and Vanya grunted.

" Hey, asshole," Luther called. The man went to go fight Luther.

" Go, I got Luther's back," Sabrina ordered as she stood up and ran out. She saw Vanya laying on the table as Diego snuck off to help Allison. They started fighting, but the big man was able to take them both on.

" Vanya!" Sabrina shouted.

" Get out of here!" Luther ordered. She got up and ran behind the wall. Luther finished a blow to make the man lay on the ground as Sabrina walked toward the other room.

" Vanya?" Sabrina asked.

" Come here!" the man ordered as he grabbed Luther and ROK him. (The wrestling move, pretty sure I spelled it wrong.)

" Luther!" Sabrina breathed, she delivered a couple of punches, but the man picked her up and threw her down next to her brother. The man cracked his knuckles; walked into the room Vanya was in before walking the other way.

" Luther!" Allison shouted when she saw them.

"Sabrina!" Diego yelled. " I said to stay down."

" I said I could handle it," Sabrina argued as Luther groaned.

" Come on, Luther, get up," Allison encouraged.

" Ah, you gotta cut down on that fast food, solider," Diego advised as he and Allison helped Luther up. Sabrina was down on her back, staring up at the ceiling. They looked up to see the woman's animal mask, looking at her. With a knife, she stabbed the side, and the chandelier started to fall.

" Get out of the way!" Luther shouted as threw the two off of him and stood above Sabrina.

" Luther!" Allison yelled as the chandelier crashed down on top of him, it knocked him down, causing him to fall on top of Sabrina, she used her hands and covered her eyes to prevent any glass from cutting her eyeballs. She felt herself being compressed. She then opened her eyes, removed her hands, and saw the lights dimming in and out. Luther then stood up, his turncoat started to rip. They all saw an ape-like man emerge from the turncoat.

" Holy Shit," Diego breathed. Luther stood up; made sure to scoot Sabrina to the side before setting down the broken chandelier. Luther and Allison then stared at each other. Luther then ran up the steps and away from everyone else. Diego then went and helped Sabrina up as Allison walked over to Vanya. She had a cut on her forehead. 

"Did you know?" Vanya asked.

"No, " Allison answered. They then heard humming.

"Shit," Sabrina breathed.

"Mom," Diego breathed as he set Sabrina down against the wall. Allison then helped Sabrina to the couch and got first aid.

" Who were those people?" Vanya asked as Allison handed her a cloth. Sabrina then lifted her shirt a bit, to see blood, Allison began to apply pressure and clean it.

" I don't know," Sabrina answered.

" But we are lucky to be alive," Allison admitted, she then looked at Vanya. " You sure you're okay?" Vanya nodded her head as Diego walked into the room. His breathing was shaky.

" Diego?" Sabrina asked, he looked up at Vanya.

" What are you still doing here?" Diego asked.

" I'm just trying to help," Vanya answered.

" No, you could've been killed," Diego corrected as he raised his voice. " Or gotten any of us killed." He looked at Sabrina who was slowing down on the bleeding. " She is a liability."

"Allison?" Vanya asked as Diego sat down.

" I think what he's trying to say is that this kind of stuff is dangerous," Allison interrupted. " You're just-"

" Not like you," Vanya finished.

" We just want to keep you safe Vanya," Sabrina said as Vanya stood up. "We would be devastated if anything happened to you." She kept walking.

" No, that now what I -" Allison protested as she stood up; trying to follow her out. " Vanya, wait."

"Let her go," Diego ordered. Allison stopped following Vanya. "It's for the best." He walked over and began to help Sabrina. Allison shook her head, she came back in and started to stitch up Sabrina.

" What were you thinking?" Allison asked.

" I wanted to provide a little cover time for me and Diego," Sabrina answered.

" That was a stupid idea," Diego huffed as he moved down to the leg.

"Says the guy who brought a knife to a gunfight," Sabrina sassed.

" Knives are for real men," Diego said as he shook his head. " Guns are for the weak."
