Wednesday 8:15 am

"Three days? The world is ending in three days?" Allison says passing some coffee around since we were all reunited once more to discuss some thing's, except Vanya isn't here. I haven't seen or heard anything about her so far. Klaus was sitting next to me but on the floor. "The old bastard did mentiom the apocalypse, come to think of it. He just left the part about how soon.."

"But can we trust him? I don't knos if you've noticed, but Five's a little.." Allison whisteled which made me glare at her.

Klaus chuckled and drank his coffee, "Our little psycho."

"Look he may seem crazy to all of you but those lunatic wouldn't be chasing him for nothing. Five decided to tell Vanya and I first since we're..ordinary." I say defending Five which earned me looks from my siblings.

"That's why they were chasing after him?" Diego looks at me and I nod my head. Allison doesn't seem too convinced. "What did Five even see?"

I looked at her and took a deep breathe, "Apparently we fought together to whoever was responsible and..Why don't we go through Dad's research." Luther instead said and I scowled at him.

"Come on."

"What happenes the first time around?"

I tap my feet against the carpet and decided to speak "Luther being such a dick and tell the truth, there's no time for research. You wanna know? We died. We all died." They all stayed silent till a nearby umbrella fell which made Klaus shriek. All the color in their faces were drained and Luther gave me a look since I just spat out the news. Oh what Five do in this situation..I wonder if the kids are safe and back with their parents.

Apparently I called to my old school and gave them the description of the kids, they told me they had no documents or files on them. They probably thought I was going crazy since they couldn't even remember them being in my class. I ran my hand througu my hair and fell back onto the couch and leaned over to Klaus' shoulder to rest.

Five's pov

"I must admit, Number Five. In all the time that I've been here, I've never met anyone quite like you." The Handler continued to speak as I was forced to listen to her. I glanced back with the same expression I always wear and saw the kids slowly following us. "Hazel and Cha-Cha, for example, are talented, certainly, but..they can't see the big picture.

"If things work out for you here, you could potentially make a fin successor, Five." 

"I'd like to discuss the logistics of my family's safety at your earliest convenience." I remind her when we walked inside the busy building, "As well as this body replacement."

The Handler smirked looking back at me and continued her way up the stairs. "It's refreshing, I'll admit. Slow down, Five. All in good time. In fact, now that you've agreed to work with us, we've got all the time in the world."

The twins continued to walk side by side and glaring at the Handler. "The Comission works in support of a delicate between the time of events and mankind's free will. The briefcase is no longer part of your kit, Five. Free your mind. You're management now. On of us.  All the people on this floor are case managers, each one respondible for one major event at a time. Impressive, isn't it?"

We made it to a stop and saw everyone typing down and doing their job. "Being part of something so grand. Come along. Whenever someone chooses the wrong path and the time line is changed, the Comission gets a report from field agents on the ground."

The four of us continued to walk but every now and then I'd hear the twins whisper and imitating the Handler's voice. "These field reports are sorted and assigned to a case manager. They determine if anyone needs to be..removed from the equation to assure that theit event never happens." Shs stopped and smirked back at the kids who stopped talking.

"Based on your determination, the case manager sends instructions via pneumatic tube to temporal assassins like you formerly were, Number Five. Any queries so far?"

I turn to her and smirk, "Yeah. Who was the case manager handling me?"

The Handler smiles and ran her finger through my cheek, "You mean the apocalypse." She smiled and began walkinf ahead of me. We arrived to another room and stopped, "Five, meet Dot. Dot is responsible for all apocalypse matters. In fact, it was Dot here who first glagged your appearance in 2019, Well, you certainly put us through the ringer. Outsmarting two of our so called best temporal assassins. If that doesn't speall leadership material..I just don't know."

Handler chuckled and patted my shoulder and walked over to the kids and placed both hands on their back. "I suspect you like challenge, Five. Which is why I've given you a particularity complex first case." She took out a red folder and I opened it.

"It's too bad Joseph Späh decided against sabotaging the fuel tank. It would've been so much easier. Anyhoo. If you have any questions...I'll be right behind you." She smiled and took the kids with her. What will she do with them?

Emily's pov

We continued to discuss about the apocalypse with thousands of questioning bombarding me. "No, it was outside the house. I don't know! Five explained to me in detail." 

"Hey."

Vanya? We all turmed around and saw her I was about to walk over and hug her but a man appeared behind her. This made me question him. I raised my eyebrows and stared at them both. "What's going on?"

Allison turned to Luther then back to Vanya. "It's a family matter."

She had to choose to wrong words. I rolled my eyes and cursed to myself. "A family matter? So of course you couldn't bother to include me."

"No, it's not like that. We were-"

"Vanya, wait." Allison tried to say but Vanya quicklt began to follow her. "I'll fill you in later when we're alone."

"Please, don't bother. And I won't either."

I chased after them and had the strong feeling to punch this unknown man with her, since he kept quiet and to her side. "Whoa where do you think you're going?" I chuckle sarcastically and look at my sister.

"I had been calling you and you never answered-"

"You knew where I live and never bothered to show up ever since those guys came into the Academy. You never bothered to do it because Five suddenly came back."

"Vanya, that's not fair. Take that back. So you're telling me you prefer this man over us?!" I ask raising my voice since Allison wasn't going to do it.

"Fair? There's nothing fair about being your sister. I have been left out of everything for as long as I can remember. And I used to think it was Dad's fault, but he's dead, so it turns out your the assholes. I'm actually happy your powers disappeared so you'd know how hard it is to be." 

I stared angrily and hurt at what Vanya just told me and Allison. After all we've been throught she chooses that man over us. Both of them walked away and we stayed still. I heard the guys behind us continuing to talk about the apocalypse.

"Wait there's no time. We need to figure out what causes the apocalypse. Now, there are loads of possibilities. Nuclear war, asteroids. But I'm thinking this is about the Moon. Right?" Luther says and I roll my eyes.

I grit my teeth and clench my fists drawing a bit of blood, "Will you shut up about the moon?!" suddenly a nearby glass next to me broke into pieces which made them look at me.

"What the hell, did you do that?" Diego asks which almost made his drink spill. I stared at him shocked and shook my head.

"No way. You know my powers have been gone for almost seven years. Five even freaked out and angrily asked me how I lost them when I told him."

Even Klaus looked at me like I was insane. He must be sobered up, finally. The poor guy told me he went to Vietnam and had a lover, Dave. That made him reconsider many things.

Luther stared at me and Allison tried to calm me down. "We'll get through this, we have the full force of The Umbrella Academy. We didnt have Five then."

"So, where's Five?"

"He had a plan to change the time line, He'll be back soon." Lutther replied to Allison.

Diego stood up and grabbed his keys. "I'm going after Hazel and Cha Cha."

"Right now?" I ask chasing after him.

Hell yeah. Three days. I'm losing light by the minute." Luther chased him too. "Look, I know you wanna avenge your friend, but we got a bigger problem here."

"She wasn't just some friend." Diego told Luther.

I stopped and felt something wrong. "If I'm gonna die, I need to know I killed those bastards first." Without making a sound I stepped closer and saw a figure standing by a shelf. "What are you doing here?" The figure jumped up a bit and I was face to face with this Leonard guy.

Allison told me just a bit about them when we went back to the living room. "I-I forgot my jacket." He said placing it quickly on him.

I stared at him coldly and had my glare on him. "If you harm her, I'll fucking kill you." Serious I tell him. The man looked taken back but walked past me and went out.

"If this happens I have to be with my daughyer, custody be damned. You said it yourself, we need the full force of the Academy to even stand a chance." I heard Allison say and she walked past me and to her room upstairs to grab her luggage.

Once again everyone has left.

Well screw this then. I got some money fromy my bag and put on my coat deciding to go out and get a couple of things I've wanted to get. It wasn't a long walk to where I was heading, "Hey, good afternoon what would you like to get?" A woman my age with multicolored hair and tattoos asked with a smile.

"I'd like to get a couple of tattoos."

"Okay, right this way."

I followed her and sat down before taking my coat off. She got on her gloves and everything ready, she placed the needle down and began to tattoo me. About two hours went by and I got my many small tattoos, since the only one I had was the Umbrella one. The lady began asking some questions when she saw the tattoo, she was curious about the Academy and everyone. 

I paid for my tattoos and eyebrow piercing and made it back to my home. I got small tattoos with the numbers of each of my brothers, would I regret it in the future? Maybe but it'll be worth it for now.

Might as well have a bit of fun before the world ends.
