On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth, this was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, the eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

HE GOT EIGHT OF THEM

PRESENT DAY

Vanya Hargreeves—Number Seven, walked on a theatre stage with a violin in hand. She slowly took a deep breath aligning the instrument under her chin. She slowly lifted her arm with the bow and started to play The Phanto­m of the Opera.

Luther Hargreeves—Number One, let out a deep groan as his alarm clock went off. He groggily got out of his bed walking out of his small room but not without hitting his head on a pipe protruding from the wall above. He was probably used to the impact considering the indent that was left.

He walked over to a lone plant on his desk picked up a watering can and started caring for the single plant. After a moment, he then turns to his closet putting on a suit and once he had finished that, it's revealed that he is currently residing on the moon.

Vanya, melody started to pick up the beat on her instrument as it intensely picks up changing.

Diego Hargreeves—Number Two, peers discreetly into a home that was currently being invaded by robbers as the family were tied up with duct tape over their mouths. He slowly makes his way in stealthily and he grabs the closest intruder cracking his neck. Soon, enough they heard his entrance and he started to take down all the criminals in a precise but coordinated form. Glass shattered and the sound of a knife slicing through the air and flying across penetrating the intruders and immediately killing them.

Vanya is now in intense sync with her violin as the beat grows more and more intense now portraying as a Medley of the slow sincere song of The Phantom of the Opera.

Allison Hargreeves—Number Three, walking in an extravagant long velvet gown as her hair flowed down her back. She looks to her side walking down the red carpet as the bright light of camera flashes fills her view, and behind that light is revealed to be the paparazzi as they begin to yell out questions. Which, she seemed to ignore just laughing and smiling at the compliments and flashing of lights as she posed elegantly for them all.

Klaus Hargreeves—Number 4, jumps down a bunk bed wearing a fluffy jacket with no undershirt in sight.

He takes a deep breath and speaks," Finally" He then walks out speaking to the first person he sees," Hey, you, stay strong. I believe in you. Okay?" He turned to pat the male's arm.

He passed another person pointing," You, not so much" as they both chuckled at his words.

He finally exits the room to someone saying," Bye Klaus" as he waves making his way to a man who just looks at him without a smile, slamming a plastic bag on the counter.

The man still not smiling spoke monotonically," We'll see you soon, Klaus" From behind the man, you could see that Klaus was in a rehabilitation centre. A coin is thrown to Klaus which he caught.

The attendant speaks his last words to Klaus who turns to walk away," Stay sober" not sounding enthusiastic as his words with Klaus just humming.

Vanya's music slows down once again as Luther looks at the earth from where he stood as his radio on his suit beeps speaking in an automated voice," Incoming transmission" He peers down to the screen on his arm as his eyes fall reading the text making him slowly drop his head, a sign of grief.

Diego picks up his knife speaking to the family hostage," Your family is safe now" He then turns as the News Fanfare plays on their Television. He slowly walked over to the next room as the man on the device spoke

"We are going now live to a breaking story"

Allison still smiling and posing towards the crowd as her photos were being taken, when a man very persistent kept shouting for her attention," Allison, here!"

She peers over to the man as she sees someone whisper to him and he speaks," Allison! Have you heard the news? When was the last time you saw your father?"

A woman then asks," Have you heard from your brothers and sisters?" She was confused as her assistant came walking over to her.

She heard the words," Will you wear Valentino to the funeral?" as her assistant whispered in her ears telling her the sudden unfortunate news as of late, making the question now understandable.

Klaus walking in a desolate and dark alley meeting a man exchanging his cash for what seems to be drugs. He kissed the small bag in his hand as he walked away with it.

Seemingly, not long after, he is in an ambulance car wearing an oxygen mask. An EMT used a defibrillator on his chest as Klaus flew forward taking a deep breath. He started to laugh as he raised his hand to the employee who smiled leaning back feeling accomplished in reviving the man.

The small television in the ambulance grabs their attention," Moments ago, police reported the death of the most eccentric and reclusive billionaire"

Vanya slowly closed her song as she stopped abruptly as she looked at the empty theatre.

A few moments later, Vanya is seen walking through the streets of her town as she passes a window with a Television. She stops in her tracks seeing a photo of her father on the screen as she reads the headline," Sir Reginald Hargreeves is dead" all Vanya can utter is, "Dad" in a mellow tone.

...

HARGREEVES MANOR

Prime was with her mother, Grace, in the living room who was silent. She female was fixing the settings in her system. The AI mother was smiling at her as she turned on her first-aid program.

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

Prime asked in a weak tone, Grace tilted her head smiling, "My dearest Prime, I am unsure what you mean?" Prime mentally cursed to herself at the question she asked and just sighed.

"Ms Prime, I am truly sorry you must do this," someone said. Prime turned to the enhanced chimpanzee assistant and friend of The Umbrella Academy, Pogo.

"Pogo, I told you to stop with that, the issue we have now is Luther, he'll be suspicious of Dad's sudden death. Knowing him, he'll jump ship and return home, he was after all the most attached" She explained to him.

"Dear, do you want some lunch?" Grace asked gently, as her daughter turned to her smiling.

"That would be splendid, I suspect that the others will be arriving in a few," She uttered. Grace then nodded heading to the kitchen.

Prime walked over to the grand family portrait, which was missing Vanya. It caused the female to frown at it hating the fact that their father refused to include her. She then reached for the photo touching a certain male—Ben Hargreeves; Number Six, who was no longer alive.

Prime's eyes glazed in sorrow. Her beloved. Her soulmate. He was gone forever.

She stood there for a while, before turning to the fireplace where the lone portrait of Five, her brother had gone missing a few years ago after spatial jumping.

Prime removed her eyes from the portrait and walked over to the window looking out to Ben's statue as the rain started to fall down the sky. Her attention was ripped away from the statue as the front door opened. It made her smile, it was Diego.

The male smiled as he saw her, but he flinched as her face hardened," Well hello there Diego, nice to see you home, after how many years" She grumbled bitterly.

He rolled his eyes," Nice to see you as well, Prime"

Prime scoffed at him," Takes the death of Dad for you to come home? Funny..." She sighed and shook her head," But besides that issue, welcome home" She finally wore a smile as he grinned shrugging his shoulder.

"Sorry, had a life to rebuild"

"Yeah, sure, get over here you moron," She said opening my arms to him as he walked to embrace her.

"How—uh...well is everything? Or more like what the hell happened?" He questioned pulling away.

"Everything has been, as usual, the normal that happens in this wretched place. I have been taking care of Mom, and now with the old man gone, it's up to me to do the maintenance on her from now on" Prime explained in a monotone.

"Where's Mom?" He asked as his eyes lit up

The female rolled her eyes smiling," Her sanctuary" Diego shoved her playfully and walked away to the kitchen in the basement.

"Please make her cook something for you! She misses it so much"

He laughed and said "Okay" walking away.

Prime craned her head as she heard heavy footsteps and it made her walk over to the front door opening it and revealed her twin brother Luther—who had his hand raised about to knock," Well well well, if it isn't my least favourite brother" She joked as he stared at her.

"That hurts Prime," He said as she snorted and opened the door fully allowing him to enter," Am I the first?" He inquired.

Prime shook her head in response," Nope, Diego was"

"Ah, well, mind if I look around?" She gave him a look and rolled her eyes," Do whatever you want to do, just don't break anything, with your strength and all" He looked a little hurt at her words but he knew it was the truth. He then walked past her, but Prime grabbed his arm," What? You don't even say 'Hi Prime, how are you?'"

"You didn't give a greeting either" She huffed and formed a fake smile.

"Well, Welcome home my dearest brother, is that enough" She chided bitterly

He sighed at her," How are you fine with Dad and all?"

"Are you seriously asking me that? I have been here by his side the entire time, sure he was a horrible father, but I put up with it, instead of leaving like the rest of them, I could have had a life, but I stayed, just like you asked!" Prime frowned as her tone began to pick up in anger.

"I'm sorry," His eyes downcast as he lowered his head.

"You better be Luther! Before you were sent off to space, your exact words, 'Stay with Dad, Please Prime'" She sneered at him," You had to go and be an idiot going on the mission alone and getting yourself hurt!"

However, despite her bitterness, it was not the complete truth, Prime had mainly stayed since Ben had passed—it was the only place she felt connected to him even if he was no longer here.

"I'm sorry Prime, I really am!" He argued back

Prime constricted her fist as it went in flames," I'm quite bitter at the moment Number One, make sure to never ask that question again because you very well know that it's not even something worth answering" She tightened her jaw and eventually extinguished her hands as he nodded.

"Go do what you need, I can't face you properly right now" He wanted to speak but the female raised her hand stopping him and shooing him away," His room is unlocked, I know you want to go there, by all means, you're welcome," She said excessively as he looked back at her.

"Ben...where are you when I need you" She whined quietly to herself.

Prime walked to the living room to relax for a while and a moment later, Allison was the next to return home. Prime walked over greeting her sister," Well hello there Ms Celebrity, it must have been a challenge to come home"

She quickly turned to Prime and grinned," Prime, Hi"

"Well, you're the third back, now we wait for Klaus and hopefully, Vanya" Prime hummed as she went to hug her.

"Do you think she'll show?" She asked glancing around.

Prime frowned at her," Of course she will, unlike the rest of you, I am happy she published that book, I don't care how she worded things, it was something she needed after all of you excluded her all the time" Allison frowned at her words but didn't argue back.

"Luther is upstairs" Prime waved her hand as she walked away from her sister, knowing that was the main reason she came back. Allison knew Luther would come home, and she wanted to see him, even if she had a daughter and was married—or well in the trial of divorce. She loved Luther, and he loved her.

Prime was envious they had each other, both still alive meanwhile, her most important one was dead, because of a mission they failed. Suddenly, Allison grabbed her wrist," I'm...I'm sorry about Ben if we didn't-

"Enough, with that—apologies won't bring him back, and I was also to blame if I did—" Prime stopped herself not wanting to cry and tugged her arm away," Pogo and Mom kept your rooms in order, why don't you unpack" She mumbled. Allison stood there, while Prime continued to walk towards the bar in the living room.

"I need a drink," Prime sighed while rubbing her head.
