IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY MORNING, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. But most importantly Gemini Hargreeves was having an extraordinary day – so far that is.

Every morning like clockwork, at 9 am she would come down stairs to the Sparrow Academy's living room and start doing yoga.

It's what got her through the day and it also made harnessing her chi energy along with other people's easier. It kept her mind balanced, and she needed a balanced mind so she wouldn't accidentally suck the life out of someone just because she was uneasy.

The living room was located in the center of the house, so each day when she would relax everyone else did – literally. Having control over one's life force was not an easy task so when she was happy others were too.

Putting on her soundproof headphones she turned the volume all the way up so she wouldn't be disturbed, and started her morning stretches before she got into the more flexible positions of yoga.

Her choice of song this morning was "Chandelier" by Sia. Sia's songs always got Gemini's heart pumping in a good way.

☂︎︎

After 10 minutes of thorough stretching, Gemini started off with a standing tilt for her first yoga pose.

She liked to start off easy than gradually increase the difficulty to train her body, so she could learn what she could handle.

Already 20 minutes into her yoga session, she was now attempting to do the "funky flying crow". Which was like a handstand but your elbow is on your knee and you're leaning forward while your opposite leg is straight up in the air.

Accomplishing this pose took about 7 minutes with great concentration, then she moved on.

Gemini continued this routine for about an hour, till she finally noticed way more presence in the room than there should have been.

☂︎︎

An alarm sounded through the Sparrow Academy building, alerting the others inside making head straight towards the living room.

Gathering along the indoor balcony, they heard their father talking to an unknown group of people.

"This isn't your home." Reginald corrected.

"What are you talking about? This is the Umbrella Academy." A feminine voice replied back.

"Wrong again, this..is the Sparrow Academy."

The 7 strangers down stairs turned as they saw Reginald Hargreeves look up alerting them that someone was there.

The Sparrow Academy members looked amongst themselves trying to figure out who these unknown people were, or if any of them knew who they were.

As the Umbrella Academy members finally took in the people standing on the balcony, they noticed a man downstairs walk towards them.

"Dad, who the hell are these assholes?" Number 2, otherwise known as Ben, questioned.

Looking towards him it seemed the Umbrella Academy had recognized the man standing in front of them.

"Shit." they all muttered aloud.

"Ben?" a long haired man asked, with a black hat a top of his head.

Next a blond bulky man walked up to him. "Is that really you?"

Ben just stared at the people blankly.

"And who are the weirdos on the balcony!" A man in a black, with knives attached to his many holsters yelled.

Seeing movement behind his old deceased brother, the man in the cowboy hat asked aloud. "And whose the chick doing yoga?"

Making the members of the Umbrella Academy turn their attention towards her.

There stood Gemini Hargreeves doing the super soldier pose in the middle of the living room without a care in the world not alert to the strangers standing there watching her.

"They are the Sparrows, my children." Reginald answered.

The whole building then started to shake, now alerting Gemini who had her eyes closed the whole time concentrating on her yoga position.

While in the middle of the difficult pose, as she felt the building shake, she also felt more presence in the room. Counting the chi signals without opening her eyes she sensed 7 unknown humans with different chi aura's than she was used to.

Along with feeling their chi aura's, she also felt her sisters and brothers and noted a spike in them.

They were all alert and confused at the same time, which ultimately made her open her eyes to see the 7 unknown strangers standing in her living room.

Getting out of her yoga position, Gemini stood up straight and survived the unknown humans while she took off her headphones.

A short boy with green eyes spoke up to ask. "I'm sorry, what do you mean, your children? That's not possible, old man."

"Of course it is! I think I'd know, wouldn't I?"

"Everybody else can see Ben, right?" The man with the cowboy hat asked.

"Cute hat, Sundance." Ben shot back, while the man with the cowboy hat tipped him off with the tip of his hat.

"They call themselves the Umbrella Academy, a group of scheming, perfidious malcontents who accosted me in the fall of 1963 when I was away on business in Dallas. Be warned, they claim to be my spawn." Reginald foretold his students.

"I don't know why anyone would want to do that." Gemini muttered, now standing beside Marcus.

"Claim? Look, Five, what the hell is going on?" A brown skinned woman asked aloud.

"I don't know yet, but it's concerning." The boy, now known as Five, answered.

"Is he telling the truth?" Marcus asked the group of strangers in front of him.

"Not the part about us being perfidious." Another member of the Umbrella Academy spoke out to say.

"No, we're amateur–fidious, at best." the same man with the cowboy hat interrupted.

"Be we are his children. This is our house."

"Yeah, yeah. We, uh... We grew up here." The bulky man agreed.

"Oh, yeah yeah, we grew up here." Alphonso mocked, making the Sparrows chuckle.

"I kind of think we would've noticed you." Sloane mentioned.

Causing the bulky one to look at her with puppy eyes.

"Hi, I'm Luther." He introduced, with a big goofy smile sticking out his hand for Sloane to shake.

"Okay, none of you belong here." the brown skinned woman, told the Sparrows.

"Oh! Well, then. I guess we'll just pack our bags and move out." Fei expressed, then Christopher then spoke to the group making them all laugh.

"You slay me, Chris." Ben said.

In the next moment, Grace walked in holding a plate full of cookies.

"I wasn't expecting company. This the best I could do on short– short.... Short notice." Grace glitched out.

"Mom." the man with knives muttered.

"Mom, she's a robot you perv." Jayme called out.

"It's not a robot," he corrected.

"Hey, don't you call him that." Luther defended.

"Or what?" Ben threatened.

"Well, why don't you come closer and find out." Luther said, walking up on Ben.

Then the Sparrow and Umbrella Academy members started arguing with each other.

Gemini turned to Jayme seeing her venom getting ready to shoot out and made eye contact with her.

That signal was meant for Cleo as she took control over Gemini's body for a quick second and flashed her red eyes at the man in tactical gear, while Jayme's venom sprayed on him.

Their combination was sure to be potent, seeing as Jayme made people hallucinate and Cleo's illusions made the people who were targeted by Jayme's poison all the more vivid in their head.

Feeling the venom sink into his skin he looked to Jayme who blew him a kiss, but he didn't know that his eyes flashed red, showing that Cleo's illusions were now in the mix.

"Enough! I don't know what circus you people escaped from, or how you got past our security, but we're done here. You got 30 seconds to get out of our house." Marcus stated, loud and clear.

"And if we don't" the tall woman asked, with her crossed along her torso.

"Then we'll have to settle this the old–fashioned way."

Walking up towards Marcus, Luther agreed.

Fixing his blazer, Marcus looked to Gemini and she nodded in his direction ever so slightly.

And everybody readied themselves.

Out of the blue, "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins started playing aloud for everyone to hear.

Soon after, Gemini and Marcus started dancing in sync.

Not too long after seeing the challenge, Luther started dancing to the beat as well copying the dance the two people in front of him were.

"Been working so hard"

Performing a country grapevine, each members from the different academy's keep up the same pace.

"Keep punching my card"

"Get them, Luther!" The long haired skinny man cheered.

And while the next song lyric finished the whole Sparrow academy joined in on the dance off.

"Eight hours, for what?"

"Luther, what are you doing?"

"Protecting our honor, bro."

Then the Umbrella Academy joined in on the dance off.

"I got this feeling"

Each group twirled around an imaginary lasso in their hand.

"That time's just holding me down"

Both sides continued doing the same dance.

"Oh shit! We're really good at this!" The man exclaimed.

"I'll hit the ceiling"

"Or else I'll tear up this town"

Turning around to face a wall both academy's swung a leg up and turned around to bring it down.

They clapped and stood on one foot with the other in the air waiting for the beat to drop, while holding up a fist.

"Tonight I gotta cut loose"

"Footloose"

Each side skidded across the floor to the opposite side they were on.

"Kick of your sunday shoes"

And as the lyric finished they did the same thing again, hopping to the beat.

"Please, Louise"

"Pull me off of my knees"

"Jack, get back"

The two academy's now twisted from side to side, vibing to the music.

"C'mon before we crack"

"Lose your blues"

"Everybody cut footloose"

Everybody was happy and smiling just vibing along to the music.

"Cut footloose"

The academy's were now merging together, dancing in a circle near the front door's entryway.

"Cut footloose"

"Cut footloose"

Gemini, Marcus, Jayme and a mystery girl were now on a different upstairs balcony whipping a lasso.

"First"

"We got to turn it around"

"Second"

"And put your feet on the ground"

Luther, Fei, Sloane, Alphonso, Cowboy hat man, and mystery girl were now performing their own crazy dances in a group.

"Third"

"Now take ahold of your soul"

Marcus, Jayme, Gemini and mystery girl now skipped along the upstairs balcony.

Then everybody gathered down the stairs again in the front door walkway and danced together for a while, then parted ways again.

Next a group of members from each academy skipped down the upstairs balcony beside the books. With Gemini joining them.

"I'm turning it loose"

And now, everyone was gathered back in the living room. Where glitter was everywhere and lights were hanging from every ceiling.

"Footloose"

"Kick off your sunday shoes"

Fei and the tactical gear guy did a duet dance. Ending with each of them doing a synced high kick.

"Please, Louise"

Then came along Sloane and Luther, and everybody watched Luther spin Sloane around.

"Pull me off of my knees"

"Jack, get back"

Mystery girl and Marcus danced together.

"C'mon before we crack"

"Lose your blues"

"Everybody cut footloose"

Right after those two the guy in the black tactical gear and Gemini did their routine together.

And everyone else got their turn to dance in the center of the circle while everyone else around happily danced by themselves.

"Everybody cut, everybody cut"

Now everyone besides the guy with knives were in lines off two shrugging their shoulders to the beat of the music.

"Everybody cut, everybody cut"

"Everybody cut, everybody cut"

"Everybody cut footloose..."

Then the music started to get distorted and the main man dancing finally snapped back to reality.

"You got 30 seconds to get out of our house." Marcus stated.

"And if we don't?" The taller woman counter questioned.

Finally realizing he wasn't dancing with everyone else he looked to Jayme to see her nodding her head with wide eyes.

"Then we'll have to settle this the old–fashioned way." Marcus answered.

And Mr.hallucination wiped his face off, getting himself secured.

While Cleo took a hold of Gemini's body again and held a fist pump out to Jayme, which she met as they smiled at each other for their success.

Soon then, Cleo gave Gemini back the body.

"Look, we just fought a literal army. Okay? This doesn't need to get ugly." the smaller woman voiced.

"Let's all just calm down and let's talk." she suggested.

'Psst. Ben–er–ino. You look so much better alive than you do dead. Am I right? Except that haircut." The man with the cowboy hat expressed.

"What the hell did you just say? Ben asked, harshly.

"Come on, come on. Stop with all the hostility Mr.Grumpy Pants." He said walking up to Ben.

"Oh wow, nice scar." he also mentioned, examining his face up close.

"Muy macho." he commented, irritating Ben further.

"Shut your mouth!" Ben snarled.

"You shut your mouth and just hug your brother–" but the man in the cowboy hat was sadly silenced with a punch to the face by Ben.

Gemini watched him fly back and slide across the coffee table.

"Hey, what the hell! You didn't have to do that!" Luther yelled.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I did!" Ben shot back.

"That's right he did." Alphonso agreed.

"Hey, back up." Marcus warned Luther but he didn't listen so Marcus shoved him.

And Luther went in for a right hook but missed as Marcus ducked and brought his leg up to kick Luther's chest which sent him flying back into the man with the cowboy hat.

"Oh shit!" he exclaimed seeing what was coming his way.

And just like that chaos broke loose in the Sparrow Academy, but all Gemini wanted to do was more yoga not fight but seeing as everyone was invading her space she wasn't going to be doing yoga anytime soon.

"If you let me out now, I'll make sure your space is clear in no time." Cleo taunted Gemini, in her head.

Causing the brunette haired girl to roll her eyes.

"You just want to get out so you can cause even more of a ruckus and maybe spill some blood." Gemini replied back.

"Mmm, you know me so well. So do we have a deal?" Cleo asked, even though she didn't really need to.

"Be my guest, show our new friends here that one more is joining the party."

"With pleasure." Cleo chuckled.

To the normal eye it just looked like a colored aura coming together but as it was piecing itself together anyone could see that the aura was a human being.

Cleo stood tall at her 5'4 height with fiery red hair and blazing red eyes, besides those two  key details she looked identical to Gemini.

Nodding their heads at each other they set off on different paths to fight the Umbrella Academy.

This is the first official chapter.

Yes, I am aware that Elliot Page's character Vanya is now Viktor and he uses he/they pronouns but until Vanya reveals theirselves as Viktor I'll state her as a she then switch over to respect the character and actors wish, which I fully support.

But that's all for tonight I hopped you enjoyed it!
