WE ONLY SEE EACH OTHER AT WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS

CAPITAL WEST BANK
2002

" IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO.."

" This is Jim Hellerman, reporting live for Channel 2 News, outside of the Capital West bank on main and sixth. " A white man with short brown almost back hair and dark blue eyes stood near the bank. " A group of heavily armed men stormed the bank not three hours ago and took an unknown number of hostages."

" Hey, get them behind the counter!" A bald man ordered to his associates. " Now, you've put me in a position where I got to do something I don't want to do. Shit!"

A young teenage girl with a tawny skin tone stood which caught the man's attention." You, go back with others."

She looked him up and down. " I heard a rumor." That's Number Three.

" What? What did you say?"

She leaned in as if she was telling him a secret. " I heard a rumor that you shot your friend in the foot."

Her words hypnotized him and he aimed towards his 'friend', a dark skinned man in a grey suit.

" Hey, dude. What the hell?" He grunted as he was shot. He fired his own bullet at the window on top of a few hostages which scared them and alarmed the people outside.

Jim reported what was happening. " We just heard gunshots from the inside of the bank. It's uncertain if any hostages have been harmed in that."

A Civilian screamed noticing a blond teenage boy walking on the roof. " Up there!"

" There's some movement on the roof. Possibly law enforcement."

The blonde, Number One jumped into the bank, breaking the glass. Landing he grabbed one of the robbers, banged his head on the counter before throwing him out of the window.

" Looks like one of the armed robbers has been thrown out of the bank."

" Guns are for sissies. Real men throw knives." Another teenager with short black hair walked in, throwing two knives who seemed to be going in the first robbers direction but it completely changed directions and hit someone else. That's Number Two.

A copper toned teenage girl leaned on a counter watching everything go down. She wanted some action so she threw a bell at someone. A man approached her in fury, probably hit him. She looked at him bored.

" Aw. Did it get to you?" The man threw a punch which she easily dodged. " You missed." He threw another one and she slightly ducked. " Better luck next time."

Trying to hit her on her right side, she moved and grabbed his arm. Hooking her leg to his, she brought him his knees before bringing his arm back and breaking it. She smiled in satisfaction at the sound. She then kicked his back, making his face meet the ground. " That was fun."

That was Faith.

" I've been in many hostage situations like this, and it can escalate very quickly."

" Get back, you freak." The bald man shouted backing away on the counter.

" Hey, be careful up there, buddy." Number two smirked at his fear.

" Get back now."

" Wouldn't want you to get hurt." Number Three added to what Two had said.

" Or what?" Another one of those teenagers appeared on the counter, sitting, legs crossed.

The man shot at him but he was gone. He kept shooting either way. The boy spacial jumped on the other side, arms crossed. The bald robber turned to shoot him but nothing happened.

" Ooh! That's one badass stapler!" The boy said having a minor voice crack, which made Faith laugh at. He rolled his eyes before pushing back the stapler and hitting the man on the forehead with it.

That was Number Five.

' K.O'

" Although there's been no activity for a few minutes, we're gonna stay live on location to make sure we don't miss anything in this hostage situation at the Capital West Bank."

" Do we really have to do this?" One of the only teenager we hadn't see already asked his peers.

" Come on, Ben. There's more guys in the vault." Number One told him, number six.

Faith approached him putting her hand on his shoulder. " I'll go with you." He nodded before sighing."

" I didn't sign up for this."

As the two entered, the shadows of both tentacles and wings could be seen.

" Well, hello." Faith could be heard saying.

" Now, we see the hostages. They, they're free. They're scared, clearly, but they do seem unharmed."

Blood splattered around as screeches from the beast were heard. The flaps from the Faith's wings were so powerful bodies were flung around. A few moments passed before silence took over. The two teenagers opened the door.

" Well, that was fun." Faith said her body and usually white wing drenched in blood.

Number six who was also coved in blood gulped. " Can we go home now?"

" People are coming out now. It's not armed robbers. These are young school children in uniforms with masks on."

Random people screamed at the children. ' How did you get in the bank?' ' What happened inside?' ' who are you?"

Faith who was between, Six and Five smiled at the crowd. Five leaned in. " You did great."

She glanced at him. " You did okay."

He looked at her with a glare, to which she smiled teasingly.

They had gotten proper clothes, Ben and Faith were kinda clean now and they were all standing infront of many reporters.

" Our world is changing. Has changed. " Sir Reginald Hargreeves said walking Infront. " There are some among us gifted with abilities far beyond the ordinary. I have adopted six such children and fostered another. I give you the inaugural class of the Umbrella Academy."

The moment he said that, questions were flung around.

" Mr. Hargreeves!"

" Mr. Hargreeves. Channel 9 News. What happened to their parents?"

" They were suitably compensated. "

" Are you concerned about the welfare of the children?"

" Of course. " He paused. " As I am for the fate of the world."

Faith looked up from where she was in the direction of a building, where number 7 was along with Pogo and Grace. Locking eyes with the girl, Faith smiled and Seven smiled as well.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY
MARCH 24TH 2019

" Listen up, old man." Klaus stared at the urn and picture of Reginald. Lucifer just behind having a drink. It did concern him at first but he shrugged it off as he had done worst. " You know, If I was murdered and if one of my sons- adopted sons, happened to be able to commune with the dead, I might think about, I don't know. I don't know, Manifesting."

Lucifer snorted.

" Do the whole big angry ghost lecture. Tell everyone who done it, and find eternal peace. Eternal peace is probably overrated."

" That it is." She pointed at him before downing the rest of her drink, not even flinching.

" You get it." He stayed silent as nothing happened before groaning. He turned around two and a half times. Changed positions like three times before starring at the urn. " Come on now, Reggie."

Lucifer was at her fifth drink but nothing happened. " Maybe-"

" Shhhh. Anytime now."

6.

Klaus lifted his arms as if that would do anything.

7.

" Please." He begged playing with his bellybutton.

8.

" Just need to sober up. " He smacked his face repeatedly. " Clear thoughts."

9.

" Come on! Come on, chop-chop!" He clapped his hands aggressively.

" Ooh."

10.

" You always were a stubborn bastard."

11, 12 and half.

" I don't know about you, but I need a drink." Klaus said panting.

" I'm at my like thirteenth drink. " As she said that, the urn fell over because he pushed it away. Lucifer gasped loudly before laughing along with Klaus. " This is bad. Like really bad."

" Faithey! Help me, instead of laughing."

" Lucifer." Klaus Who was pushing away some of the ashes away looked up.

" Huh?"

" My name is Lucifer. Lucifer morningstar."

" Like the devil?" She nodded sipping on her whiskey. " Since when?"

" Since the beginning of time." She threw a hand up.

" So, you lied to dad?" He said with a gasp.

" I didn't lie to, Sir Reginald. I just didn't remember who I was back then."

He nodded. " Also, since when are you British?"

She just rolled her eyes.

" Wait, so you're the devil?"

" Indeed, I am."

Klaus and Faith were finally catching up. As said, they were really close. Best friends. After not seeing eachother for 14 years, they had a lot to talk about.

" Before you ask, yes. Yes, the devil is a woman."

" Now, that's cool!" He put out his hand for her to give him a high five which she did.

" People never believe me." Lucifer shook her head.

" Of course, I believe you. I commune with the dead. We're in the same place." He said before popping some pills.

" You still do that?" She questioned him.

" Well, yeah." Klaus said going to play with her hair again. " Okay. What are some things people say about the devil that aren't true?"

" A lot of things. " She hummed. " The devil made me do it. I do not make anyone do anything. You, humans always want to blame someone else but your selves. That I hate humanity. That's not true, I love you humans. I love the creation, not a big fan of the creator."

" Right, that means God exists. Heaven, angels, hell and all that."

" Yeah. There's hell, Silver city aka heaven and the void." Klaus raised an eyebrow at the last one..

" The ode? What's that?"

" The void. It's a place between heaven and hell. That's where spirits go when the can't move on. That's where the spirits you see come from."

" Oh." Out of nowhere a familiar beat started playing. " Do you hear that or am I high already?"

" Both." She looked at Klaus as he got up from the table.

♪ Children behave, that's what they when we're together ♪

Going over to the urn, Klaus swayed to the beat.

♪ And watch how you play, they don't understand and so we're running just as we can♪

" Come and dance with me, little devil!" Klaus told her.

Lucifer stared at him.

♪ Holdin' on to one another's hand♪

Slowly getting up, she could only imagine what the others were doing.

♪ Tryin' to get away into the night, and then you put your arms around me ♪

Swaying around, eyes closed. It brought back memories.

' And we tumble to the ground, and then you say♪

" I think we're alone now." The two sang.

♪there doesn't seem to be anyone around ♪

" I think we're alone now"

♪ The beating of our hearts is the only sound♪

Doing a few body rolls as Klaus dance with ashes of sir Reginald.

♪ Look at the way, we gotta hide what we're doing ♪

The urn slipped out of his arms but Lucifer was quick to catch it. She glared to which he shrugged.

♪ Cause what would the say, If they ever knew and so we're running just as fast as we can♪

Klaus put his hand which 'HELLO' and 'GOOD BYE' were tattooed on over his eyes moving left to right.

♪ Holdin' on to one another's hand, trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me ♪

Klaus put his arm around Lucifer's shoulder getting ready for the chorus

♪And we tumble to the ground and then you say ♪

" I think we're alone now" they spun around rapidly. " There doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now, the beating of our hearts is the only sound"

♪ I think we're alone now, there doesn't seem to be anyone around ♪

Klaus somehow got on the table while Lucifer was whipping her hair hair back and forth.

♪I-♪

The music abruptly stopped as thunder clapped. Lights flickered, glass shattered, table shook, and everyone looked around.

" I don't think a storm was supposed to come." Lucifer said.

The urn slid to Klaus which he caught. " Oh! Daddy?"

Knives were flung to the wall.

Everyone went outside to see what it was.

" What is it?" Vanya asked.

" Don't get to close!" Allison warned them holing onto Luther.

" Yeah, no shit. " Diego shouted.

"Looks like some sort of temporal anomaly." Luther surprisingly said. " Either that or a miniature black hole. One of the two."

" Pretty big difference the, Paul Bunyan." Lucifer shouted as both her and Klaus came out.

" Out of the way!" Klaus screamed before trying to use a fire extinguisher on it. Since it didn't work, he threw it inside the thing.

" Klaus, what the hell is that supposed to do?"

" I don't know, do you have a better idea?"

Electricity crackled as the face of an old man appeared. " Oh hell no."

" Everyone get behind me." Luther said pushing Lucifer and Klaus back.

" Yeah, get behind us!" Diego said. Siblings.

" I vote for running, c'mon!" Klaus said ready to drag luci with him.

The old man slowly transformed into a familiar boy. Someone they hadn't seen in so long. Before they knew it, a human popped out of it and the thing vanished. They all approached him, confusion written on their faces.

" Does anyone else see little Number Five, or is that just me?" Hearing what Klaus said he looked down at himself and back up.

" Shit."

A/n:

HELLOOOOO

OKAY I PUT SOMETHING OUT AGAIN I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH MYSELF FOR PUBLISHING ANOTHER CHAPTER THIS FAST.

Okay, what do we think about this one? It seems messy to me. Idk.

There's something I don't understand

" Do we really have to do this?" One of the only teenager we hadn't see already asked his peers.

" Come on, Ben. There's more guys in the vault."

Five doesn't have a normal name because he dissapeard before Grace gave them their names, right? Five was still present, why did Luther call Number Six Ben?

I'm probably overthinking this.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, bad grammar and typos. I'm tired and I type fast.

Thank you all for reading!!
