CHAPTER TEN: I THINK I LIKE YOU

"You can't let fear of failure keep you from trying"

---

Five and his siblings were all sitting outside the medical room, waiting.

"Please let her be okay" Diego said "I swear if she dies, I will summon her" Klaus said "I really hope she will be okay" Ben said "I should have protected her" Diego said before he looked at Luther "It's your fault" he said "How is it my fault?" Luther asked "You are Number One. You are the one in charged. You should have being leading" Diego said "How did I know that---" "Guys stop fighting, it gets us nowhere. Beside this is not what Talie would have wanted" Allison said.

Tears ran down Five's eyes as his whole body was shaking.

He looked down at his hands to see them shaking, he tried to make it stop, but they kept shaking.

Then someone grabbed his hand and he looked to the left to see Vanya sitting next to him.

"It's okay. She is gonna be okay" she said "What if she's not. I can't live without her....I can't.....I" he said, trying to hold back his tears "It's my fault, and if she dies I will never be able to forgive myself and not live with myself. She is my center point and I can't lose her" he quietly as he was sobbing a bit.

"Tilly is strong. Stronger than she knows, she will be okay and live" Vanya said "And if she don't. I will never find anyone like Natalie Eversun. I don't want to live in a world without her" he said "Don't say that, if something did happen to her, she wanted you to live your life for the both of you" Vanya said before she wrapped her arms around Five, comforting him "I just don't think I can live in a world that doesn't have her in it" he sob quietly.

Then Reginald opened the door to the medical room to see all the kids waiting.

They all looked up and Five rushed over to his dad "How is she? Is she alright? Is she dead?" he asked said, trying to hold back his tears, he didn't know what he would do if he lost you. You were his world, his future, his light, his happiness, his reason to live and to fight, you were his everything.

"Kids...." Reginald started and it was like all the kids held their breaths, scared of what he would say.

"Natalie is gonna be fine. She will live" he said and the the kids breathe out in relief as they all smiled, happy over that you were gonna be okay.

"Can I see her?" Five asked his dad "Not now. She is resting. But in a few hours" Reginald said as he looked at his children "Now, get changed and do your chores. Natalie need rest and a lot of it" Reginald said and the kids nodded before leaving but Five stayed.

"Number Five. Do as you're told. Natalie is okay. But she need rest, you can't see her now" Reginald said and Five sent his dad an angry glare before walking away.

---

"Number Three" Reginald said as he went into Allison's room "Yeah" she said "I need you do something" he said "What is it dad?" she asked "I need you to rumor all of your siblings except Number Seven to that Natalie didn't killed someone at the mission, also rumor Natalie" he said "Why?" Allison asked "'Cause I tell you to" he said "But---" "No but, you need to do it now. 'Cause when Natalie wake up, she will freak out over killing those people and she will lose control and then bad things will happen. So do it now. Start with the others" Reginald said and Allison took a deep breath before she nodded.

---

After Allison had rumored the siblings into forgotten that you killed someone at the mall, making them believe that you just got injured 'cause something went wrong. Her and Reginald then went into the medical room where you were laying.

And just as they opened the door, you woke up.

"Natalie" Reginald said and you looked at Reginald "Now Number Three" he said and you looked to the left to see Allison.

"I heard a rumor....that you forgot you killed those people" Allison said, her voice echoing as an energy wave travled out of her mouth and into your ears, causing your eyes to turn white for a few seconds before they changed to your normal color.

"Allison" you said "Hey Talie, I'm so glad you're okay" she said "What happen?" you asked as you looked around "You were hurt doing the mission" Reginald said and you nodded "Did I do something wrong?" you asked "No, you did alright" he said.

Reginald and Allison then turned around before leaving.

You looked down before letting out a sigh.

But then the door opened and you looked up to see Five.

He rushed over to you before wrapping his arms around you tight "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he cried.

It was the first time, you have seen him cry and break down like that.

"It's okay" you said as he pulled away and you could see the tears in his eyes.

"It's my fault, if I have just being more awake, more focus, I should have protected you" he said, sobbing "No" you said as you put his face in your hands "You have to remember that you can't protect everyone everyday. No one can" you said.

"I really thought....I thought I lose you" he sob "I don't know what I would do without you" you smiled "You would never lose me. I'm never going to leave you" you said "You promise" he said and you nodded "I promise" you said as you wipe his tear away with your thumb.

"I heard you. You called me your Nat" you said.

'Nat! Wake up. Please. You're my Nat. Don't you dare die on me now'

Five slightly blushed and was about to deny it but then you hugged him and he smiled before he hugged you back, leaning his cheek on your side of your head.

"I promise you I will not let this happen again. I won't let anyone hurt you" he said and you let out a small laugh "Who are you and what have you done with my Five Hargreeves. Why is my little Short Pants, Jumpy guy, Coffee Boy and Pretty Boy suddenly going soft on me now?" you asked and he pulled away before he tucked a stray of your hair behind your ear while he smiled "What do you mean? You know that I'm always soft when I'm around you" he said and you smiled before you hugged him again.

---

You had just cleaned your wounds and taking one of your pills, before walking out of the bathroom, and as you were going towards the stairs, you saw Allison and Luther looking at their mom Grace that was gone.

"What happen?" you asked as you approached them to see Grace with her arm cut opened and the wires in her arm was cut over.

A part of you were sad, even so you don't know Grace, it was like a part of you did.

You felt sorry for the siblings, Grace was the closest thing they had to a mom.

You didn't knew what you would do if you ever lost your mom. She has being the one that was always there for you, no matter what.

"The two guys last night, the ones with the masks...They did this to her. It has to do with Five somehow. I mean, they were looking for him" Allison said "I know I was arguing to turn Grace off, but it doesn't make seeing her like this any easier" Luther said "Poor Diego. I mean, this is gonna be so hard on him" Allison said "Yeah, it's hard on all of us" Luther said and was about to walk away "Luther..." Allison said "Yeah?" he asked "Are you okay? You know you can talk to me" Allison said "I don't want to discuss it" Luther said and was about to walk away but Allison stopped him "Hey, no. Don't do that. Don't shut me out. When I left, you were still...I mean, what...what happened?" Allison asked "Dad sent me on a mission. And it went, um...badly. I almost died. He saved my life" Luther said "Uh...Why didn't you tell me?" Allison asked and Luther let out a sigh "I...I could have helped you through it" Allison said "I was fine. All right? I am fine. I don't need any help" Luther said "People are attacking our family. I mean, come on. Talk to me" Allison said as she was about to put her hand on Luther's cheek but he grabbed her wrist "I can't. I...Please. Just leave me alone" Luther said before walking away.

You had a feeling that you need to find Five, you were scared that something had happen to him, so you turned around before leaving the Academy, going to the lab since that was the last place you saw Five.

---

Five had followed Lance to his apartment and he had watch him walking out of the building and towards his car while he was carrying his dog.

Lance unlock his car and he put his dog on the backseat before he went to the driver seat.

Five blinked to the driver seat next to Lance just as he closed the door.

"Oh, Jesus!" Lance said when he saw Five sitting next to him and Five clicked his switchblade open before he grabbed Lance's collar, putting his face close to his as he put the switchblade by his throat.

"One chance. That's all you've got. One chance to tell me exactly what's going on in that lab" Five said "I...I manufacture prosthetic devices for fake patients" Lance stammered "I bill the insurance companies and then sell them for cash on the black market" he said "Including eyeballs?" Five asked "Yeah, they're my biggest seller. I mean, they sell like hotcakes. I--I've got a list, a waiting list, probably 20 buyers" Lance said "So, the serial number I told you..." Five said, his voice trailing off as an indication that Lance should keep talking.

"Uh, could've already been bought. Yes, off--off the books" Lance said and Five let out a sigh "I needed that list, Lance. Names and numbers, and I need it now" Five said as he put the knife closer to Lance's throat "I don't have it. I mean, not on me" Lance said "Then where is it?" Five asked "The only copy's in my safe at the lab" Lance answered "Well, you start the car, then. 'Cause we're going on a field trip" Five said and Lance nodded while Five leaned back, taking the blade away from Lance's throat "Okay" Lance said "Now" Five said "Okay" Lance said before he frantic his seatbelt.

---

Luther was in Five's bedroom "Like I said, Master Luther. Number Five hasn't lived in this room since he was a boy" Pogo said "Yeah, I know, but we need to warn him. He doesn't even know we were attacked. He doesn't know they're looking for him, he doesn't know..." "What are you doing here?" Diego asked, cutting Luther off.

Luther saw Diego entered Five's bedroom and he narrowed his eyes at him "Um...Do you know about Mom?" Luther asked "Well, it looks like you got what you wanted, one way or another, right?" Diego said "Wanna tell me what you're doing here?" Luther asked "Looking for Five and since Natalie is gone too, probably out looking for Five. I'm also looking for her" Diego said "Why looking for Natalie, you don't even know her" Luther said "I know I just met her, but just like Vanya and Klaus, I had this feeling in my body telling me that I know her from somewhere and those freaks tried to kill her too. So I'm gonna help" Diego said.

"Let me guess, you're gonna save the day" Luther said "It's what I do. Asshole" Diego said "Really? Last I checked, you mopped floors" Luther said "And what do you do? Sit on the moon for four years waiting for orders?" Diego said "Boys. This won't help us find Five" Pogo said "Keep on being a loyal soldier after everything our father did to you" Diego said "What? You mean save my life?" Luther said "No, I mean...turn you into a monster" Diego said as he leaned his shoulder against the closet.

Luther clenched his fist before he punched a hole in the closet "Can't hide it anymore, champ" Diego said "He had a difficult decision to make, and he made it" Luther said "Grow up, Luther. We're not 13 anymore" Diego said "That's what leaders do, by the way" Luther said "He sent you on that mission all alone. Almost got you killed" Diego said "Yeah, well at least he was there. Where were you? You and everyone else in this family? I went alone. You walked out" Luther said "And thank Christ that I did, or I would have ended up just like you. Let me ask you a question. When you watch one of these nature shows..." Diego said "Diego, please" Pogo said "Does it turn you on?" Diego asked "So what? Is he just an animal to you, too, now, Diego, huh?" Luther asked "Don't" Diego said.

"Enough!" Pogo shouted at them "This house was attacked. We barely got out with our lives. And Grace...she wasn't so lucky. Your brother is missing and this is how you rise to the occasion. Take your nonsense elsewhere. Now" Pogo said "Sorry, Pogo" Diego said "Yeah, sorry, Pogo" Luther said before they both walked out of the room and downstairs and left the Academy.

---

You were walking down the street towards the lab when you saw Five getting out of a car with Lance before he dragged him with him towards that building.

But then Five noticed that black smoke was coming from the windows and glass could be heard shattering while the fire spread out of the windows and Five started running towards the entrance of the building.

"Shit" you said before you started running after Five, hoping to stop him before he got himself killed.

"FIVE STOP!" you shouted as you caught up to him before you grabbed his shoulder, going up in front of him when he reach the entrance.

But then an explosion went off by the entrance, and you used your powers, protecting yourself and Five from the explosion and the blocks, metal, glass that was shout out.

But the blast hit you both, throwing the two of you backwards.

You both let out a scream as you flew backwards before you both landed hard on the ground with a grunt.

Blocks, metal, glass and other stuff was laying around you.

Your ears was ringing like crazy and you were dizzy after the blast. You let out a grunt before you started coughing as you put your hands on the ground.

"NATALIE!" you heard a voice echoing worried and you could see that your vision was blurry.

"Natalie" the echoing voice said again and you lifted your head to see Five next to you, his face inches from yours and his left hand was on your right shoulder "Are you okay?" he asked and you nodded "I'm fine" you said "Why did you do that?" he asked "I couldn't let yourself get killed" you said and Five let out a grunt "Don't ever run into a burning building like that without knowing the danger, Five" you said.

Five's heart raced from the thought that he almost died from the explosion and he looked at you with confusion in his eyes "How did you react that fast, how did you knew that the building was going to blow up?" he asked "I don't know my instinct just sensed it" you said and turned to see the building in flames while they could hear sirens approaching.

Five's face felled as he looked at building, the list was gone. How was he going to save the world now?

"I can see on your face that this was not good" you said "No" he said as the two of you got up.

"We lost lost everything that was evidence to our suspect" he said before he kick a rock harshly.

"Come let's get out of here" Five said and the two of you left the area before the cops showed up.

---

You and Five entered a public library. Five have chosen this library 'cause that was the only one still standing in the apocalypse.

Five had Delores and a bottle of whiskey with him as you and him walked up to a higher floor of the library before you both sat down in a corner and Five started doing some research.

"So what now?" you asked "I don't know. But is a good place to be working" he said before he looked at you "Do you know anything about equations?" he asked "A bit" you said and he nodded before he started going some research.

"What are you doing?" you asked as you saw him writing down equations on the wall with a black marker.

"Just help me, please" he said "I'm not good at equations like those, but I will try my best" you said before you got up to find a book that could help you.

You came back a minute later before sitting down next to Five "Okay, let's get started" you said and Five offered you a bottle "No thank you. The doctor told me not to drink much alcohol, actually it would be good if I don't drink any alcohol at all. It will fucked with my mind" you said and Five nodded before he took a sip of the bottle every minute or so.

"Careful" you said "Why?" he asked "You are not in your adult body anymore, you are in your teen body, which mean that you will get drunk faster" you said "I can handle it" he said as he took another sip "Okay, but don't say that I didn't warn you" you said.

---

After some time, Five have almost drink the whole bottle of whiskey and he was so drunk that he couldn't continue to write equations.

"Okay, there is a lot in this book that I don't understand" you said as you flipped through the pages in the book "And even if I did, I don't think this can help" you said.

"I doesn't matter. I have lost. The building is gone together with the list, I have nothing now" Five said as he let out a sigh.

"Hey don't give up. We still have a few days and until then you can never give up. Get knocked down, get back up" you said "How is it that you're so positive?" he asked "That's just who I am, I like to see the positive in things, like I try to see the good in people. Like I do in you. I don't see a bad guy, I see a soft and kind person that didn't had the best life but there is still hope 'cause as long as you're still breathing, you can get back up, you can keep fighting, having hope and you can turn it around" you said.

"I have never know anyone like you before and I know that I only have know you for a few days, but I feel drawn to you and I feel like I have know you most of my life" he said before he wrapped his arm around Delores "I think I like you, Natalie" he mumbled as he leaned his head back and you looked at him "What did you say?" you asked but he just fell asleep.

You smiled as you looked at Five sleeping before you looked back in the book.

---

You were flipping through the pages when you suddenly heard Luther's and Diego's voice which cause you to smile before you closed the book and got up.

"You wanna know why I left?" Diego asked Luther "What? What are you talking about?" Luther asked "Why I left the Academy" Diego said "Yeah, cause you couldn't handle me being Number One" Luther said "No. Because that's what you do when you're 17. You move out, become your own person, grow up" Diego said "Oh, yeah. You're a real grown-up" Luther said.

"At least I make my own decisions. You've never had to hold down a job. Pay bills. You ever even been with a girl?" Diego asked and Luther looked at him.

"I..." Luther said cleaning his throat and Diego let out a small laugh "I don't know what you're talking about..." Luther said "Look, you wanna blame me, blame us for leaving...that's okay. But maybe you're asking yourself the wrong question. Maybe it's not about why we left. Maybe it's about why you stayed" Diego said "I stayed because the world needed me" Luther said "You stayed because you couldn't let go of the way things used to be. The Academy. Dad. With Allison. Dad's dead. Mom too, now. We're orphans again, dude. And things are never gonna go back to the way they used to...be" Diego said "Do you ever stop talking" Luther said.

"Where are his parents?" they heard a woman asked and Diego followed the voice "Wow, that was easy" Luther said before he followed him.

"Hey guys" you said and they turned to look at you "Natalie. There you are, where is Five?" Diego asked "Come on" you said as you turned around and they followed after you.

"I'm gonna call security" another woman said as she walked past the three of you.

"He is right there" you said as you pointed over in a corner.

"What the hell?" Luther asked "Shh, guys, don't wake up Pretty Boy" you said.

"Is he, um...?" Luther whispered and you and Diego nodded "Yeah, drunk as a skunk" you and Diego said while Five continued snoring until the bottle felled out of his grasp making a small noise.

"I will carry him" Luther said before he walked over to grab Five, picking him up, still with Delores in his arms "Come on Natalie, it's best you stay near us. Just in case" Diego said "It's probably best" you said before you follow after the two.

---

Luther was carrying Five and Delores as him, Diego and you were walking down an alleyway.

"Where are we going?" you asked "We can't go back to house. It's not secure. Those psychopaths could come back at any moment" Luther said "We can go to my apartment" you said "My place is closer. No one will look for you there" Diego said before he looked at you "You okay?" he asked "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just worried that those people from yesterday knows who I'm and then they are going after my mom" you said "Don't worry, they wouldn't" Diego said as he patted you on the shoulder.

Then suddenly a memory appeared in Diego's mind.

"How is it that you understand this and I don't?" "Cause I'm smarter" "Don't get started"

Diego think it was weird, he has just met you yesterday, but why does he suddenly have this feeling that he knows you from somewhere.

But then Five let out a belch before he let out a sigh "If you vomit on me..." Luther said "You know what's funny? Aah! I'm going through puberty" Five said and let out a scoffs "Huh. Twice" he said "So do I and is not funny" you said with a sigh.

"Well, now you got Natalie, but you better ditch that doll, I don't think that's gonna work out as a threesome" Diego said and you snapped your head at him before you gave him a small punch at the arm.

"I'm joking, I'm joking" he said as he put his hands up in surrender.

"And I...I drank that whole bottle, didn't I?" Five said and chuckled "You drink all of it. Fully empty" you said.

"That's what you do when the world you love goes bye-bye" Five said as he put out his hand "Poof, it's gone" he said and mimicking an explosion with his hand.

"What are you guys talkin' about?" he asked "Two masked intruders attacked the Academy last night. They came looking for you. So I need you to focus. What do they want?" Diego asked "Hazel and Cha-Cha" Five said "Who?" Luther asked "You know, I hate code names" Diego said "Ah, the best of the best. Except for me, of course" Five said "The best of what?" Diego asked.

'Cause Five was so drunk, he ignored the question before he changed topic "You know, Delores always said she hated when I drink" Five said and you looked at Delores in Five's arms.

"You should have stopped him. But I'm sure you did your best. Maybe I should have stopped him" you said as you looked at Delores "Are you talking to a doll?" Diego asked "Sorry, old habits" you said.

"She said it made me surly...." "Hey" Diego said cutting Five off as he stopped before he turned around to look at him.

"Hm? Yeah?" Five said "I need you to focus. What do this Hazel and Cha-Cha want?" Diego asked but Five didn't respond, he just grinned mischievously, smiling at him like a fool.

"We just wanna protect you" Diego said "Protect me. I don't need your protection Diego. Do you have any idea how many people I killed? I'm the fourth frickin' house man" Five said before moving around in Luther's grasp "The apocalypse is coming" he said and he turned around, putting his head behind Luther's back before he threw up causing Diego to roll his eyes while you made a face in disgust.

---

You arrived at a boxing training building before Diego lead you and Luther down to the boiler room where he lived and Luther place Five on the bed as Diego put Dolores on a chair.

"You live here?" you asked "Yeah, it's not much" Diego said and you nodded before you, Luther and Diego looked at Five sleeping.

His hands were balled into fists and his face looks relax and peaceful.

You smiled as you looked at Five peaceful asleep, you think he was handsome even when he was asleep and even so you have only know him for a few days, you could feel the more you were near him, the more you were falling in love with him.

Even so he was a psycho, he was a cute one. Sweet but a psycho. But you didn't care, 'cause you could actually see the soft, kind and caring side of him.

"Funny. If I didn't know he was such a prick, I'd say he looks almost adorable in his sleep" Diego said "I think he is adorable. He's a cute little psycho" you joked.

"Well, don't worry. He'll sober up eventually. Be back to his normal, unpleasant self" Luther said "Yeah, I can't wait that long" Diego said before turning around and walked towards the stairs "I need to find out what his connection is with these lunatics before someone else dies" he said.

"All that stuff he was saying before..." Luther said but then there was a thumping overhead sound causing Diego to snapped his head and looked around the room.

"What do you think he meant by that?" Luther asked but Diego lifted up his finger telling them to shut up.

Then the three of you heard footsteps approaching outside the door causing Diego to pull out his knife as he walked up the steps that lead to the door.

Diego put his hand on the door's handle before he slowly opened the door a bit while he got ready to throw his knife.

"You throw another one of those goddamn knives at me, I'm pressing charges" a voice said and Diego opened the door "What do you want, Al?" he asked "I ain't your secretary" Al said "Yeah" Diego said before he walked down the stairs.

"Some lady called for you, said she needs your help" Al said "What lady?" Diego asked "I dunno. Some, uh, detective. I think she said her name was, uh, Blotch or something" Al said "Patch?" Diego asked and Al nodded "She needs my help" Diego said before going up the stairs "She needs you to meet her at that motel, a dump on Calhoun" Al said as he handed a piece of paper to Diego "When?" he asked "About half an hour ago. Uh, said she found your brother" Al said before leaving.

Both Luther and Diego looked over at Five "That doesn't make sense" Diego said before the two looked at each other ones they realized who it was "Klaus" they said.

"Go. I'll wait here with..." Luther said but didn't reach to finished as Diego was already out the door.

Luther then looked back at Five before he patted Delores on the forehead before he looked at you "I think it's better go home and sleep" you said "Are you sure. I mean, you can sleep next to Five if you want to. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. If you just lay--- " "No. Thank you, but I'm fine. I think is best if I go home and sleep" you said "Are you sure, I mean I don't think Five would mind if you just---" "No" you said again.

"Listen, I will go back home and sleep in my own bed. I will be back here the next morning" you said "I don't think it's a good idea" Luther said "Why not?" you asked "Those people from yesterday, they know that you are with Five and they might find you and follow you, bringing everyone around you in danger. So maybe you should stay here" he said.

"Maybe you're right" you said before you lifted up Delores and sat down on the chair with her on your lap.

"So why are you in your teenage body and what kind of powers do you have?" Luther asked "Well, my powers got out of control one day and to save my life an expect put me in my 16-year-old body and then put me in a coma. And for six years my mind aged but my body didn't. Woke up six month ago, where I spend those month lock inside my house, recovering" you said and Luther nodded "What are your powers?" he asked.

"Telekinesis. Energy shield and Levitation. That's the powers I know I have so far. I don't use them much cause of what happen a long time ago. And I can lose control if I have a strong emotion, like when I'm really angry or sad or scared" you explain and Luther nodded again.

"It's actually nice being around people that are like me" you said and Luther let out a small smile "Where did you and Five met?" he asked "At a diner, a few days ago. He invited me to come with him 'cause I was like you guys" you said before you look over at Five.

"It's funny, even so I have only know him for a few days, I feel drawn to him and I feel like I have know him all my life. Is that weird?" you asked "I don't know anything about love. I have spend most of my life at the Academy and then four years on the moon" he said "Was it fun? Being a part of The Umbrella Academy?" you asked "Yes and no. It was boring when the rest left" he said and you nodded "Yeah, being alone is not fun" you said and Luther nodded.

"Why were you on the moon?" you asked "My dad send me there, doing some research for him" he replied "What kind of research?" you asked "I actually don't know, he never told me" he said and you nodded.

"Did you grow up here?" he asked "Well, most of my memories from the age of five to 13 is blank, dark and have a lot of holes. Some of them are fuzzy and blurry. But I was born here and when I was 14, my mom was really obsessed in sending me to a bording school far away from the city. I went to college after and then the night after I graduated college, an accident happen causing me to up in a coma. So my life..." you said before you snapped your fingers "Destroyed just like that" you said "I'm sorry about that" Luther said "It's okay, I think we all have realized that when you have special abilities like us, your life will never be fully normal" you said before you took a deep breath "But I think with the right people, you will find your place in the world" you said.

Then your phone rang and you lifted it up before answering it "Hey mom" you said "Hey Sweetheart. How are you?" Ella asked "I'm fine" you answered "What are you doing?" Ella asked "I'm just home" you lied causing Luther to raised a brow in confusing.

"Okay. I will just tell you that I go on a business trip early in the morning and I will be back the next day, so I want to ask you if you want to come?" she asked "No, mom it's okay. I think I want to stay here" you said "So you can hang out with that guy?" she asked "Mom" you said and she let out a chuckled "I'm joking. Are you sure you don't want to come?" she asked "I am. beside I can handle it" you said "Okay. Just be careful" she said "I will" you said "I will contact you when I land and when I'm on my way home" she said "Okay" you said "Love you" Ella said "I love you too" you said before you hang up the phone.

"Why did you just lie to your mom?" Luther asked "'Cause she hate you guys and your dad" you answered "Why?" he asked "I have actually no idea. But she told me to keep away from you guys 'cause you are bad" you said "Then why are you still here?" he asked "I don't judge people by the things I hear about them. And I actually see the good in people" you said.

---

It was late at night and you and your mom was walking into a gas station to get some gas.

Then suddenly two armed robber enter the station with their guns lifted "Get on the ground, now" they called out and your mom quickly grabbed you before you both hide behind a display.

"Empty the cash" the first robber said as he pointed on the young guy behind the counter who quickly lifted up his hands "Now" the second said and the guy nodded before he started empty the cash.

"You don't need to hurt anyone" the guy said "Shut up" the first robber said as the second robber was pointed his gun around the store, to made sure that the two other people that was in the store didn't move.

Then the young guy moved his hand to grabbed something from behind the counter but before he could lift up the pistol, the first robber shot him causing the two people to scream.

"What the hell man" the second robber said to the first "He was gonna shoot us" the first robber said "Well, then no witnesses" the second robber said before he shot the two other people in the store.

As you saw a body falling down behind the display you and your mom was hiding behind, you let out a small gasp causing your mom to cover your mouth.

But the two robbers heard you and they walked over before looking down at you and your mom "Look what we have here" the first robber said "Please don't hurt us" your mom beg "Sorry can't do that Miss" the second robber said before he lifted the gun and pointed at you.

But then your eyes started glowing dark red and with your mind you threw the guns out their hands.

"What the hell" they said and you stood up as dark red energy whips was around your hands and you lifted up your hands, lifting up the two robber before throwing them away, causing their backs to hit the wall, making them let out a grunt in pain before they fell to the floor.

Ella's eyes widened as she stood up and she noticed how all the things around you started floating.

"Honey" Ella said and you turned to face her and your mom saw that your eyes were glowing dark red, it was like you were someone else.

Ella took a step closer to you but you pushed her back with your powers causing her back to hit a display and she let out a grunt.

"Sweetheart!" Ella called out and your eyes stopped glowing as the dark red energy around your hands disappeared making the things fall to the floor.

You saw how your mom got up "I'm sorry mom. I'm so sorry" you cried.

"It's okay" Ella said as she walked closer to you before she bent down so she was in your eye level "What happen?" she asked "I don't know. I was on a mission with the other kids and something happen, I got hurt and I haven't felt like the same" you said and Ella's eyes widened.

She was furious now, Reginald had done the thing he wasn't allow to do.

He had made you more dangerous. Going behind your mom's back.

Right here Ella took a decision, she was gonna tell you and Reginald that you were no longer allow to visit the Umbrella Academy and you were no longer allow to be near the kids.

It was the only way to protect you. It was the only way to protect you from Reginald.
