It's me, the Trickster obsessed cunt again.

How would he react to a transmale reader getting un-stealthed?

(In case you don't know what stealth means; Stealth= when a trans person passes so well everyone thinks they're cis and they don't come out.)

So the reader passed well when he arrived in the entitys realm, but after a few months someone found out about about them being trans and then tells people their deadname and shows pre-transition photos ect.

(You can also do it with characters of your choice ofc as long as Trickster is one of them).

I’ve actually had a similar situation happen to me once! My resentment for the people in said situation might be showing a bit. Thank you so much for the request! :)

Tw: Transphobia and violence(towards the transphobe of course)

Killers: Trickster, Wesker, and Ghostface.

Trickster:

Was he expecting you to be trans? Not exactly. Will he tolerate the bull fuckery that is happening? Fuck no!

He would firstly make sure who knew about it to be respectful. How? A small bit of broken bones.

Hey it got them to shut up right?

The next and most important thing is making sure your okay.

He would hold you, rubbing circles on your back. He’ll just be there for you.

He might even be so inclined to put on a performance to make you smile.

After he has you pretty stable he’ll ask some questions.

Nothing invasive just ways he can help next time.

“I’m so sorry this happened songbird. You’re a man, my man okay?”

You’ll stay by his side until you fall asleep. He’ll make sure your safe no matter what.

Wesker:

This man is the king of damage control. He also happens to be really good at psychological mayhem.

He’ll round up everyone that knows about it. Though it was only few that really hated who you are he was going to make his point crystal clear.

Some threats and mind fuckery later he’ll start looking for you.

He’ll find you out in the woods crying. Seeing you like this breaks his heart.

He’ll hold you telling you that he got the person to stop.

He’ll tell you stories of some of his life before the fog. He makes sure to tell the funny ones.

Once he has you laughing and smiling he’ll get a bit serious.

He’ll explain that if anything happens to come to him first.

“You’re the best boy I’ve ever known. Please don’t forget that love.”

He’ll hold you until one of you have to leave. He is going to give you a kiss goodbye.

Ghostface:

He stopped it very early. The asshat could only tell a few people before he put a pin in it.

He’ll threaten the others to not say a word and have his fun with the asshat.

I think you know what I mean by fun. I’ll spare you the gory details.

He’ll find you off by yourself looking destroyed.

He walks up to you and calmly sits down. He’ll pull you into his side.

This man is surprisingly good at making up stories. He’ll do anything to get you to smile.

He’ll spin stories about outcasts and mysterious murders. It somehow helped soothe you.

Once he has you calm he’ll tell you how much he cares about you.

“Sweet thing you mean the world to me. You’ll always be my good boy.”

He’ll give a little note and told you to read it when you have dysphoria.

Dwight: Don’t worry it was just that one dick head. We’ll always accept you now matter what. We got to stick together right?

Reader: :’)

THE RED KING from TEAM DOGWARTS and BLUE BATS

HAND OF THE KING from TEAM DOGWARTS

Please stop mentioning the Blue Stalker in our comments. They have caused a lot of distress for the Exterra community, no matter how “sexy” they are or “how many bitches” they get.

Once again, we condone voter fraud, but we draw the line at spamming our polls with links to the enemies to lovers Blue Stalker x Red King fic.

OFHHDFJSJDJS ITS HERE!!! DIVORCE POST!!! HAND VS KING the boyfriends are fighting!!!

Not gonna lie I was so absorbed in the potential hilarity of this matchup that I failed to realise I have to vote for someone now. I’m. Im genuinely torn 😭😭😭

Btw the ship wars between RK x Hand vs RK x QoH are so stupid like the Hand and QoH are the same people???? Some miraculous laserbug love square type of bullshit? Anyways I support the prince of hearts 🙏

🍬 gunnerwithashotgun Follow

@/princeofhearts ur a freak, stfu!!! queen of hearts and hand of the king are TOTALLY different ppl (they have different bioneos colours) and ur being lumianphobic by thinking theyre the same even tho they're just the same SPECIES (they even have different cultures like the hand keeps on roasting rk for calling tuski "pearl" bc that's the way qoh learned it??)

🪓 handoftheking Follow

I’m adding “not False Symmetry / Queen of Hearts” to my bio. Like, she’s super cool, but I’m unfortunately not her.

🌲 dilfkisser Follow

I hope we get a perfect 50/50 tie. I want homoerotic RK and his homoerotic Hand to both win. I want them to stand on the podium and make out while holding a pride flag while BlueBalls beatboxes in the shadows. I hope we all win. (Except the transgender lumian theory believers, go touch some stardust)

As the local reserver, (and obsesser) I'm here to tell you things about Book! Ace Merrill!!

NOTE!!!!!! Abuse mentioned! Please note this!

In the Book, The Body, which stand by me is based off of...Ace rides a motorcycle with the Cobra gang! He's also just as calm in the book as he is tbr film, cocky too.

It's implied he's a drug dealer however, and horribly abusive to all his girlfriends, tending to slap them around and such. It's also noted that he, and the gang, aren't much older than Gordie and his gang of friends.

Gordie and his friends are ment to be right at 13, or defiantly 12 going into 13, it is a coming of age film after all...so Ace Merrill and the gang are maaaybe 16-18...is what it's implied. (Denny lachance however, was a week away from turning 20 when he died poor boy)

The age thing is so weird, becuse it's implied Ace sleeps with a bunch of girls, and it's just like...okey?? Steven King can you lay off the weird obsession with teens sleeping together- (I'm not sorry)

Also the dug part: it's implied he deals in week since it's right st the turn of the 60s, but I'm sure he gets his hands on cocaine to.

In the book, Ace isn't actually the leader of the Cobra gang, Richard "Eyeball" Chambers is! And Ace is his right hand man, which in the movie, well I get why Ace was the leader yeah, but it implies he has pretty boyfriend private from Richard who loves him I bet.

He has a looong history of stealing, and gets caught trying to break into the safe at the general store and they send him the juvenile prison for a few years at the end of the novel the body.

Also he has at least 4 other siblings. He's the second oldest and there's an infant? And then a kid kinda?? Nesr Gordie and their age but younger?? Kinda??? But he's the second oldest and hates his home life....he's named John Merrill after his uncle or dad?? And he hates that name so much he gets violent over it because he can't stand his family or to be John, and then his uncle runs that junk yard..

Not much is diffrent, other than he and the cobras ride and work on their motorcycles a lot, AND own the cars.

Then he gets mentioned in another book, and has yet ANOTHER where it's about his death.

The other book he gets mentioned in a few times, and hes an adult now, but it's vaguely mentions he's a violent alcoholic, and horribly abusive to his current life? Girlfriend? So much so she's like...missing teeth...and brushed up when another character sees her. Ace is also very much addicted to coke, and his alcohol, and it's implied the Cobra gang went separate ways and some are more functing members of society others died.

It's implied Richard like...has a steady job and wife now?? Yeah, anyways, Ace is unbearable still...but he works at a mechanic shop and a factory too I think? Just mentioned, vaguly that he works in those places...he could have been fired as well.

The next book, and then later movie, (which doesn't have kiefer..) Ace is an older adult, and it goes into more detail on him. He wound up homeless, and inherited a massive house along with a bunch of debt, he finds a tressure map in the house and much like the young biy he still is at heart I supose(or greedy desprate adult) he rushes off to try and get the money in hopes of saving his ass from debt and becoming rich.

Only to be slowly, brutally murdered by...weird??? Native american??? Burial ground ghost?? Haunted ass lands and they kill him becuse he's bad??? Okey???

Like Steven king please change it up some, all that man knows is nature American haunted land, underage sex sceans, and sad endings....CHANGE IT UP SOME!!!!!

But that's book Ace!! ...yeah🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm sure you can see why I like my fan version of Ace, even film Ace more...I think you can see why I made him also be Mary at times.

Also accidental thing: Deadname/hates the name John, chooses the name Mary instead~ (accidental...Bible thing, you tell me please-)

NOOOOOO NOPE THIS ISN'T REAL NONE OF THIS IS IM IN DENIAL

IDK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS TOTALLY DOESN'T HAPPEN WDYM

[No but on a fr note I'm definitely stickin to the movie and my thoughts on movie Ace more than the books 😤 I honestly feel like- as much as I wanted more of him in the movie, you can work with redeeming or changing up his character for later events if you'd want. YEAH. Thaaats right. Fixing him and making him try to be a better person for his GIRL and his BABIES 🫵💪💥💥]

The only thing I did keep that I researched about in the books is that he works at a mechanics shop- and that he has a motorcycle later on too.

STEVE HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY BOY?? ME AND MIKEY gotta write him his own story smh. If he ain't gonna give Ace a shy little girlfriend to protect and be all sweet with OR make him genderfluid and be happy as a shy darling gal like Mary she deserves to be WE WILL

#Taking matters into my hands LIKE ALWAYS #SMH #cherry rambles #cherry answers #ask #stand by me #stand by me 1986 #ace merrill

being trans at hhm would be so chaotic but in a good way bc like.

like the firm's definitely partnered with a notoriously conservative company before, but then also definitely been hired by a super super liberal company as well, so you dont know how theyre gonna react, but howard is like,,,,so supportive it's almost funny?

like. i dont wanna generalize obviously but it's always kind of a spooky thing to come out as trans specifically in a corporate environment, but u tell howard "im trans", "im nonbinary", or "im genderqueer" and that man is ready to support u. ive said this before but i'll say it again. like.0

bonus points if u dont even rlly know him like ur just an intern who needs a new name tag.

but also like. thinking abt the HHM dresscode and how howard would be like "i can recommend some good tailors" for like a suit or a skirt or whatever you're now going to wear.

howard doesnt care as long as it's professional and blue.

oh my god what if that man bought custom trans pins but the blue stripe is hamlindigo blue dont fucking tell me that wouldnt be something he would do.

maybe you havent legally changed your name yet so it shows up at your deadname on schedules and payrolls and stuff- howard always always always crosses it out and writes down your preferred name.

i could totally see him adding a little pronoun thing to his email, like a little signature that says like "howard hamlin, senior partner of HHM, he/him".

im a little bitch with daddy issues (sorry) and i think it would be nice if he went with u if you have to go to other partners to tell them, he's standing behind you like 🙎🏻‍♂️making sure no one gives you shit.

if ur in a meeting, ur voice cracks or makes a funny sound, immediately panicking, howards there like "no ur good keep going!!!".

the only time that man is ever picky about anything is if you follow the "mens dress code", and start to wear a tie and he pulls you aside and he's like "technically the proper tie to wear here at HHM is one with a Windsor knot, not a simple knot" and so ur like "i am so sorry- uh- i don't know how to-" that man is IMMEDIATELY taking you out for lunch on his lunch break and teaching you how to tie a nice windsor knot you can tear that from my cold dead hands.

also??? he's a king with pronouns. just like "he- excuse me- she filed all her paperwork today" like man just keeps on trucking. doesn't make a scene abt it or anything.

checks in every few weeks at the beginning of your transition (if that's something ur choosing to pursue) to make sure everyone's treating you alright and fairly, making sure you're comfortable and everything. like he's just super fucking chill and i love him

Snippets (or Chapters

I’m going to give you guys some snippets of my stories, and you can tell me if it seems interesting. Btw all of them are in first person. I also tend to censor words, because of habits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jegulus-following Trans!Regulus and his life.

(after beginning)

“Mother, I’m going to Kings Cross. I’ll pick Sirius up.” I tell my mom.

Walking to Kings Cross was boring, with nothing eventful happening. When I arrive at the station, I see a plethora of families waiting for their children to come back home.

The train pulls into the station, and I watch as students get off the train, looking for their families. I watch carefully, keeping my eye out for Sirius, and I spot him.

“Sirius!” I yell out at him, but he doesn’t answer, he just shakes his head at me and starts to walk towards another family. I walk over to him. “Sirius?” No response, he just talks to the other family. “Siri-“ I’m cut off.

“Why won’t you f*cking leave me alone, Denebola?” I wince as he hisses out my deadname.

I can tell that he notices me wince because his face changes for a split-second.

“Sh*t, sorry Regulus” he says, trying to change what has already been spoken.

I just stay silent, turning my head away so he can’t see me cry.

“Sirius” I hear someone in the family that Sirius is with say, “Please calm down”

“I am bloody calm” Sirius spits out as a reply.

“Well you aren’t acting calm” the person tells my brother.

“James, how the bloody h*ll should I act calm if Regulus responds to my letters, telling me that I am a disappointment just because I am in bloody Gryffindor, and then comes up to me acting like nothing ever happened” my brother fumes.

“Sirius, that doesn’t mean you should f*cking deadname him” I hear the person named James say.

My tears keep flowing, but what the boy said stops me.

“What the h*ll do you know about deadnaming someone James? It’s not like you would know, seeing as you are a cis man” Sirius retorts.

“Sirius, I honestly don’t know what the h*ll is up your a*se, but even if he said that,” the fluffy brown haired boy named James huffs, “deadnaming him certainly isn’t the correct way to get angry at him”

I wipe the tears that are still streaming down my face away as I turn around. This new boy is defending me. Me. The freak who thinks that she is a boy.

“Maybe you and him could solve whatever the h*ll you think he did wrong” James tells Sirius.

I try to chime in, but I am interrupted.

“James, you think he is going to confess that what he said was wrong” Sirius says angrily

“Sirius” I speak softly, “I didn’t write those letters, heck I didn’t even get any letters from you”

“What?”

“Yeah, I didn’t get any letters from you”

Both Sirius and James are looking at me.

“Well that doesn’t make sense, because James watched me send the letters

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nyoomtape-following Trans!Sero getting tutored

(a few chapters in)

When we arrive in my dorm he seems slightly confused by the fact that it isn’t a huge f*cking mess. I sit down on my hammock. My hammock is large enough for two people so I invite him to sit down. He accepts and sits down.

As he explains, it makes some sort of sense in my head. All of a sudden, my brain seems to take half of the information I just earned, and stuffs it into a jar outside.

“I guess that kinda makes sense” I blurt out.

“Only kind of? I am happy to help you with whatever you need help with!” He smiles a genuine smile. Wait, that was an actual smile.

“Oh, uh, it’s just that I can’t seem to keep the math in my brain” I shrug.

“Oh, I could help you out with that if you would like. It’s not like I do much in the evenings.” He informs me, or something like that.

“Oh, you don’t? I thought you hung out with the Dekusquad.”

“Well, I sometimes do, it’s just this week they are all away on a vacation or doing something with their families.”

“Oh. Anyways, how would you help me remember the math?” I ask.

“It’s actually quite simple. You have to do things multiple times to remember them, so if we go over it every night, you'll remember it for exams! I’ll go over it every night with you” he actually informs me.

I groan, “Fine, I guess we should probably do that”

“Okay! Also, is there anything else you need help with?”

“Only Science and English... but science is hard since Eraser Sensei doesn't even teach us... and Mic Sensei is too busy flaunting that he is married to teach us anything good. Other than that I’m good” I smile at him.

He just looks at me blankly

“What?”

“Well, let’s get started then!” He says.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wolfstar-following Remus as a new student, but starting with a flashback.

(after a flashback)

“JESUS” I sit upright.

“REMUS NO F*CKING CURSING IN THIS HOUSE” my dad calls from downstairs.

“Sorry” I say, quietly.

I’ve been having these dreams for the past six years, and that isn’t even the end of it. Every full moon I turn into a werewolf.

“REMUS YOU HAVE A LETTER” my dad yells.

“Coming” I respond.

I head downstairs, tripping headfirst.

“Good morning Remus John Lupin, if you even deserve to be called that” my father blatantly responds, not even hiding his dislike of me.

“Good morning Lyall” I respond, surely making him cringe at the thought of me calling him Lyall, “What about me having a letter?”

“Oh… right, it’s from… uh… just some scam”

Just some scam he says… yeah right, I don’t get letters… I don’t even think scams know that I’m alive, after all Lyall made sure to erase my name from most systems, just by saying that I had died.

“I’ll take it” I say, as I nab the letter from him.

“No need to! I can throw it away” he says.

“I already have it, I’ll just read what is in it”

“No-“ he drags on as I rip into the letter with a H imbedded into a wax stamp.

“REMUS F*CKING LUPIN YOU CAN NOT JUST OPEN THAT WITHOUT PERMISSION!” he screams as I run upstairs, nearly crumpling the letter in my hand.

~Upstairs~

“BLODDY H*LL!” I lock my door to ensure my safety from my dad. What I see inside the envelope shocks me. It is a letter actually addressed to me. On the paper I see letters,to which I assume make up some form of words. My dyslexia kicks into full gear as I attempt to read the letter. I assume it says;

“Dear Mr. R. J. Lupin

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Thagwors School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Term begins September 1st 1971. Please use the entrance located at Kings Cross Station, Downtown London, on platform 9 3/4.

Students shall be required to report to the Chamber of Reception upon arrival the dates for which shall be duly advised.

Please ensure that the utmost attention be made to the list of requirements attached herewith

We very much look forward to receiving you as part of the new generation of Rathgows heritage.

Yours Sincerely

Professor Dippet”

I realize that I only have 2 months to get the need materials, and from what I can tell, the name of the school is definitely not Thagwors or Rathgows. I also don’t believe that there is a Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station, but then again… I could be very wrong.

I reach back into the envelope and feel another letter. As I read over it, I realize I don’t know where to get half of the items on the list. I’ve seen other Wizards and Witches walking around outside our house, but no one in the neighbourhood even notices me when I ask questions.

“REMUS GET YOUR F*CKING A*S DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW” my dad screams from downstairs.

“Fine Lyall, under the circumstance that you read this letter to me” I, kind of, calmly tell my dear old ‘Dad’.

“Fine” I can hear him roll his eyes.

I trot downstairs after unlocking my door and totally not slamming it shut.

Part 2 to how I think the twd characters would react to you coming out as being trans/being trans!! (I picked a random gif)

Carl

° just like daryl you'd need to explain it to him because bro was 12 last he had access to internet he used it to play cool math games for sure

° after explaining it to him he'd be so supportive to you, helping you choses a name(if you came out to him)

° if you asked him to help cut your hair he'd be a bit hesitant but wants to make you feel comfortable so he'd do his best (you look like a mini darly now)

°now if he had any say in it people who made fun of you would be shunned because it's stupid (he thinks just like darly) but he can't so he ignores them and doesn't help them do anything except if it's like life or death but he will not help Jeff over there with the food no.

Abraham

°as soon as you say something he becomes your dad, sorry but your his kid now

° if anyone dares to fucking dead name you or make fun of you he is going to let shit fly and go off on them

°he'd call you by stupid names, little fucker being one its gender neutral too!

° he'd ask Eugene for a full scientific explanation of trans people and kids so he can better understand you!

Jerry

° he is a big old softie ok, he loves you no matter what your his non-child and will love you no matter what

° he'd make sure that nobody made fun of you, he can be scary if he is seen giving someone a glare for calling you your deadname:)

°him and his wife and kids would be like your other family or family of your choice! They would make sure you were taken care of and loved!

°if you ever needed more male like clothes he'd give you his jackets because they are oversized and help with your dysphoria

Ezekiel

° just like Jerry he is overjoyed you shared that with him, he will make sure your comfortable in his kingdom

°he would kinda adopt you just Like jerry (ok this man is so sweet)

°since he is the king he'd joke and say you are the prince of his kingdom

°calls you and Shiva siblings (he is the type to do that)

T-dog

°I know not many people talk about him but he is so sweet so he would be nice about it.

°if your name can be put next to dog or your initials he is going to call you it (I said this because one of my friends calls me ken dawg)

°if anyone calls you she or your dead name he will step up and say "it's he" or "it's y/n"

Sorry no 4th one I can't think of anything:(

I hope you all liked this!! - kenny☆

Sorry if this is something that's been said before but I'm thinking abt a transmasc Gerudo and like. How must that work? Would he be the 100 year Gerudo king? Or does destiny consider any afab Gerudo a vai? Anyways his name is Casavin, he keeps his hair longer because Link was actually his realization that he's trans since he's lived most of his life in Gerudo Town and doesn't remember much before that, so he thinks that most Voe keep hair longer. He finds Link in Gerudo Town after the divine beasts and asks him a bunch of questions abt Voe which Link thinks is simple curiosity so he gives some short responses then runs off because he notices signs of a korok in the distance. In TotK Link finds him outside of Gerudo Town with a flat chest, looking very similar to Link, and wearing clothing that covers him up more at one of the stables and when Link walks up at first he's confused because Casavin was going by his deadname in BotW and he reintroduces himself and has a long spiel abt self discovery and he says that he got kicked out of Gerudo Town because he claimed he was a Voe and nobody could convince him otherwise so they did what they do to all Voe and force him to leave. He has a side quest that involves getting a sketchbook that he left in Gerudo Town and the item description says that there's a sketch of Link and young Casavin who's drawn himself looking very similar to the swordsman. It's very good. I wish I could draw so I could show you the image of him rotating in my mind.

Step {Back} In Time

Pairing: Five Hargreeves x Fem! OC

Author's Note: Hello and welcome. This is my season two fic (and sequel to Time and Chase). I will be posting daily. *Please note that I am well aware that Elliot Page portrays Viktor, but due to season two being before his transition, that is why his character is still Vanya. I am not deadnaming him and I sincerely hope I don't come across as such. I will transition when I write season three.*

Warnings: Exceptionally long post, cursing, violence, blood, and mentions of death.

The End Of Something

On April the 1st, 2019, the Earth was destroyed in a cataclysmic event.

Billions of people were wiped out in a matter of minutes.

Ironically, the seven survivors of the apocalypse were the very family members who brought it on.

~ * ~

All of the Hargreeves were inside Elliot's place, watching the news unfold on a TV.

"Authorities are asking for help identifying several persons of interest at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination. The FBI believes they may have been acting in concert with the alleged shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald. Vanya Hargreeves, wanted in connection with the deaths of several FBI agents inside the federal building at Dealey Plaza. A Cuban exile known only as Diego…" the reporter said, showing photos of each member.

"Cuban?" Diego scoffed.

"…Who recently escaped from the Holbrook Sanitarium. A bare-knuckle boxer with suspected Mafia ties who fights under the alias "King Kong." Allison Chestnut, a Negro radical responsible for instigating and organizing the recent riots at Stadtler's lunch counter. And finally, Klaus, the controversial cult leader and known tax evader. The FBI is asking the public to be on the lookout for this unidentified boy and girl, who they believe are being held hostage by the suspected terrorist network."

Five and Karina glanced at one another.

"Well, it's true. I personally feel like I'm being held hostage most days," Five agreed.

"God, I hate that photo," Diego complained.

"They're saying I instigated the riot?" Allison scoffed. "That's unbelievable."

"Look, the good news is that we restored the timeline and we stopped doomsday," Luther sighed. "So-"

"Yeah, a bunch of real goddamn heroes. We let Kennedy die," Diego cut him off.

"Yeah, and now we're officially the most wanted people in the world," Allison piped up. "The FBI is after us, the Dallas police, the Secret Service. It's only a matter of time before they hunt us down here."

"Well, where are we supposed to go?" Vanya glanced around as Klaus made his way downstairs.

"I have this yurt just outside Reykjavik," he announced. "We could totally lay low there. Folks there are a little weird, but lovely."

"Hey, numbnuts," Five eyed him. "Hiding's not gonna make a difference here."

"The Commission will hunt us down wherever and whenever we go," Karina sighed.

"She's right. They'll never stop," Diego nodded.

That caused Five and Karina to slowly look at him in surprise.

"I'm sorry, since when are you an expert on the Commission?" Five crossed his arms defensively.

"Since I got back from there."

The two stared at him in shock. "What?"

"Yeah, they headhunted me, offered me a job. Full time with benefits, which I had to turn down," he responded.

Five couldn't hold back a forming smirk. "They headhunted you?" He scoffed. "The village idiot."

"Five! Be more sensible! Did they hurt you?" Karina looked at Diego in concern.

"I'm fine. Thanks Karina," he smiled at her and then glared at Five. "What, am I not allowed to be headhunted? Only the almighty Five needs to be in demand?"

"Diego, you're not Commission material, all right? Got an obstinate nature to ya," Five returned.

"Who do you think it was that figured out Vanya was the one that causes doomsday and stopped it? Me!"

Everyone scoffed or rolled their eyes.

"Hey!" Klaus interjected.

Diego bent down to Five's level. "That's who. I figured it all out on the Infinite Switchboard."

"You were on the Infinite Switchboard?" Five looked at him in surprise.

"Hell, yeah! I made that machine my bitch!" Diego boasted rather loudly. "Y'all need to recognize I got shit going on y'all don't even know about." He looked around.

"Oh, sorry. You've got things going on?" Allison shot.

"This isn't helpful," Luther muttered as he passed by.

"Look, I met the Résistance in their secret lair. All right? I went through orientation and I passed and I stopped doomsday," Diego remarked as Vanya went upstairs.

The others didn't notice however. They were arguing, of course.

"At least I wasn't busy playing with myself," Diego remarked.

"Can you dispense with the dick-measuring for five minutes?" Allison shot.

"Unless you can literally, 'cause Ben and I-" Klaus started.

"We don't have time for this," Luther cut him off.

"Yeah, the Feds could be here any minute," Karina added.

Allison nodded. "That's what I've been saying."

"I'm agreeing!" Luther was defensive.

Five eyed him. "Okay, calm down, Hairy-"

"Hey, it's King Kong. And I'm sick of your ass, okay?"

"Yeah, okay, you win," Diego mocked Luther.

"Guys, we need to move, okay? That is more important here. That is our only option," Luther retorted.

"We need to box those windows and stay here," Diego disagreed.

Vanya came back downstairs. "I'm leaving."

"What? To go where?" Allison stood up.

"Sissy's farm. Something's wrong with Harlan, and I need to help him," Vanya responded.

"Vanya, we need to stick together, okay? Now more than ever," Luther chimed in.

"That's why I'm telling you this. Whatever's going on with Harlan, I think I might've caused it."

"How?"

She sighed. "He drowned, and, uh, somehow I was able to bring him back to life. And now it's like we're connected."

"Wh-What does that even mean?" Luther glanced around in confusion.

"I don't know. I can't explain, but…I know that he needs my help," she sighed softly. "I need your help, too. I'm scared. And for the first time in my life, I don't wanna do it alone. I want my family by my side."

Everyone gazed at her quietly.

That was when Diego made the move. "Look, I'm sorry. We have other priorities right now."

"Diego's right. For once," Five added a bit reluctantly. "We need to make our stand here and now."

Vanya looked away, obviously let down. "Okay. I guess I'll see you when I see you." She left the room.

Karina glanced around at the siblings and shook her head. "I'm going after her," she announced.

"Rina! We can't. Not with everyone after us," Five stopped her and she turned around.

"Five, I'm sorry, but I can't just let her go off on her own like that. This probably isn't an easy decision for her either. I mean, put yourself in her shoes for a moment. Harlan's a young boy with frightening powers and you are the only one who can possibly help him control it. Wouldn't any of you want to help him and try to make things right?" Karina pointed out. Then she sighed. "Besides, either way we go, we're going down. So, I don't know about anyone else but, I might as well go down doing the right thing."

With that, she left the building as well before anyone could stop her. Vanya was in the car when Karina opened the door and slid into the front seat next to her.

"You know, my aunt and uncle used to own a farm," Karina casually began, smiling at a shocked Vanya. "I used to go horse back riding all the time when I was younger. The faster the horse went, the more I felt like I was soaring. Say, do Sissy and Harlan have any animals?"

"Karina, what are you-" Vanya was even more stunned when Klaus appeared.

"Hullo there ladies," he huffed as he slid inside next to Karina. "So, so, so…Ben, huh? Gone forever. Isn't he?"

Vanya was looking at him a bit sadly. "He traded his life for mine…while he saved the world in the process."

"Pfft," he scoffed. "Show-off. But did he…say anything about…me?"

Vanya nodded and Klaus looked intrigued.

"He wanted me to tell you that he was too scared to go to the light. It wasn't you that made him stay," she responded.

Klaus chuckled flatly. "Oh, that little shit-heel." He scoffed softly. "All these years, and I thought it was my fault that he didn't take his ticket to heaven." He laughed and then sighed when he looked down.

"Look, I'm sorry, but…you should get out, 'cause I need to-" Vanya started.

"Oh, no, I'm coming with. I can't let you and Karina face the unknown alone, right?" Klaus said as footsteps approached.

Diego and Allison slid into the backseats.

"Got room for two more?" Allison asked as the doors shut.

"What about the Commission?" Vanya looked back at them.

Diego sighed and glanced at Vanya and Karina. "Our dear sister-in-law was right. We might as well do some good before we die horribly."

"Whoo-hoo!" Klaus cheered as Karina smiled back.

"Oh!" Vanya jumped when she saw Five open the front door. "Five, you-you don't have to-"

"I know," he returned, looking at her. "You owe me one, sis." He looked at Karina and smiled softly, giving her a nod. Then he eyed Klaus. "You're taking up my seat next to my wife. Children ride in the back."

"Okay," Klaus didn't hesitate to slide over the front seat into the back row, quite literally.

Allison and Diego scrambled to make room.

"Whoa! Oh, Christ!" Allison muttered as Klaus grunted, plopping down.

Five slipped into the seat next to Karina, wrapping his arm around her. "In case you never knew this: you have a very convincing way with words, my darling."

"Good. I'm glad to hear that," she lightly joked and blushed when he kissed her cheek.

"Guys, I don't know what to say," Vanya looked at her family, touched by their support.

The trunk opened and Luther clumsily climbed in, making the car creak loudly and crunch some. The door slammed shut.

"Anyone makes a fat joke, and I'm outta here," Luther commented.

Vanya smiled and took off for the farm.

~ * ~

When they got to the farm, there was a huge snow storm swirling madly around in the sky. Energy crackled and sizzled. Lightning struck the barn.

"You think whatever's going on inside is causing the cold front?" Diego asked as everyone got out of the car.

"Well, the correlation is high," Five looked up at it.

"Sissy!" Vanya called out and the barn door opened. Sissy came racing out with a gun held high. "Sissy!" she rushed towards her.

"Get back!" Sissy yelled protectively. "All of you, just get the hell back!"

"Sissy! Hey! Hey! What's wrong?" Vanya was worried.

Sissy was panting some. "Carl."

"What did he do to you?"

"He's…He's dead," Sissy was breathing shakily now. "Harlan tossed him aside like a rag doll, same way you sent those policemen flyin'. What did you do to him?"

"No-"

"Vanya, what the hell did you do to my son?"

"Don't have time for this," Diego began to move forward.

"Where you think you're going?" Sissy aimed her gun at him.

"To help your son," he held his hand up disarmingly.

"Look, Sissy, I found my family. These are my brothers, my sister, and my sister-in-law," Vanya introduced them.

"Ma'am," Luther lifted a hand in greeting at Sissy.

"Were you lyin' to me the whole time?" Sissy questioned Vanya.

"Of course not. Look, I didn't know who I was. But I do now. And we are not the monsters that they say we are. We did not kill the president. We are not terrorists. We're not here to hurt anyone."

"Then…" Sissy paused softly. "Who are you?"

"The only one who can help Harlan," Vanya answered.

Sissy hesitated for a second before she nodded and everyone raced into the barn. Harlan was suspended in the air, jerking around and surrounded by a huge swirling surge of energy.

"Harlan?" Vanya yelled over the howling wind. "Harlan, it's Vanya!"

Harlan was gasping and twitching.

"Look, Harlan, I know you're really scared, but I can help you. I need you to listen to me, okay? Can you do that?"

Harlan continued gasping and a high-pitched tone resonated. Vanya began to glow as she went through the surge.

"Careful!" Five warned as everyone else watched anxiously.

Energy whooshed nearby, causing Klaus to go over to the door. He spotted two figures in the field in the distance.

"Uh…guys?" he spoke up. The others glanced his way.

"What?" Diego asked as he went over to his side, along with the others. "Ah, shit," he cursed.

"What, who are they?" Klaus wanted to know.

"One's the Handler, the other's Diego's girlfriend, Lila," Five answered.

"That's my ex-girlfriend," Diego corrected him instantly.

"What?" Klaus eyed him.

"You know what? Doesn't matter. They both look angry," Luther observed.

"Yeah. Our brother has that effect on people," Allison remarked.

"I'm gonna go find out what they want. You guys stay with Vanya and the kid," Five stepped out.

"I'm coming with you, too," Diego and Karina said in unison.

The three made their way out to the two.

The Handler chuckled. "I love the smell of that fresh country air, don't you, darling?" she asked Lila.

"Makes me want to vomit," Lila replied.

"What do you want?" Five got right to the point.

"To watch you and your pretty little blonde suffer," Lila seethed.

"What about me?" Diego spoke up.

"You're not even worth my wrath."

"Easy," the Handler chided. "We're here on official business."

"And what business is that?" Karina almost challenged.

"As the head of the Commission, I've decided to eliminate the criminals responsible for the assassination of the former board of directors," the Handler replied, causing Karina to exchange a look with Five.

"Yeah, right. We didn't kill the board," Diego remarked.

Five fidgeted some. "Uh, actually, Diego, that's not entirely accurate."

"You didn't tell them. Oh, Five. And Karina! I thought you would have known better to stop keeping big secrets from your family," the Handler mocked them.

"Five, Karina, what the hell did you two do?" Diego eyed them.

"What we had to to get our family home," Five replied.

"Until somebody reneged on our deal," Karina shot.

"Somebody wouldn't have reneged if somebodies could've met a simple deadline," the Handler shot back. "Alas."

"You set us up to fail," Five snapped.

"You set yourselves up to fail, friend. You and your wife and your brothers and sisters. Kinda the running theme of your little lives, isn't it?" the Handler laughed.

"Dude, I can't believe you and Karina killed the board of directors!" Diego exclaimed. "You have no idea how messed up the Commission is right now!"

That caught the Handler off-guard. "Messed up? Who's saying that?"

"Everybody. Christ, even the janitors think it's going to shit."

"That's not all they killed," Lila was shooting a death glare at Five and Karina.

"What are you talking about?" Five furrowed his brows.

"I never killed anyone," Karina added confusedly.

"Don't play dumb, you prepubescent pieces of shit."

"Enough. The point is, all of you are going to die today. Hmm?" the Handler was getting impatient now.

"Oh. Well, I don't like your chances. Seven of us, two of you," Diego challenged.

"You know, you're right. Let's change that," the Handler snapped her fingers.

Dozens upon hundreds of Commission Officers began to appear now. Diego and Five stepped back some as Five shoved Karina behind him.

"Oh, my God, Diego, why can't you just shut up for once in your life?" Karina muttered, clinging to Five's side.

The officers cocked their weapons into place. Five exhaled shakily, trying to calculate the odds of them making it out alive.

"So what do we do now?" Diego whispered.

"Well, we got two choices: fight and die now or run and die later. Either way, we're food for worms," Five replied honestly.

"Preference, doll?" Karina glanced at him.

"Wouldn't mind a few more minutes breathing air through the old windbags and spending a little more time with you, my love," he responded.

"Thanks, I'll be fine, too," Diego chimed in sarcastically.

"All right. Let's get this over with, shall we?" the Handler held up a red piece of fabric.

"Run!" Five yelled and the three fled the field.

The officers chased after them as rapid gunfire filled the air. They were ducking and avoiding the bullets as best as they could.

Diego grunted, barely missing a round. "We're not gonna make it!"

Five grabbed both him and Karina.

"What are you doing?" Diego shouted.

Suddenly they blinked out, reappearing near the house.

Diego stumbled some as Karina caught him. "Five, I think I'm gonna puke!" he exclaimed.

"No time!" Five remarked and the three raced behind the tractor, ducking for cover. Bullets struck the tractor, ricocheting off.

"You gotta blink us into the house, man!" Diego cried.

Five grabbed the two and tried to blink out, but his powers kept sputtering.

"What?!" Diego nearly shrieked.

"Shit, I'm out of fuel!" Five cursed himself out. "I'm too tired."

"Go! Both of you! I'll…I'll cover for you," Diego smacked Five.

"Diego, what are you-" Karina began.

"Go!" Diego raced out.

Five grabbed Karina's hand and yanked her to her feet as the two ran for the house. While Diego stopped most of the bullets, the two raced up the porch. Five yanked the door open and pushed Karina inside first. They slid under the table and he flung himself on top of her, shielding her. Bullets were still flying, glass was breaking, and the lights crazily flickered out.

Meanwhile outside, Vanya had joined the fight. She was flying above and sent a bright blue energy wave to take out the Commission Agents. The gunshots stopped as everyone slowly got up, wondering if this was the end and the fight was over with.

However, a glowing blue bubble encased Lila and the Handler. It dissolved as Lila reciprocated the same orb of energy as Vanya, flying up. She sent her own energy blast, sending everyone flying back. Five and Karina quickly moved from the window as Luther came crashing through the roof and into the living room.

"Luther, are you all right?" Karina asked as they hurried over to him.

"Oh, I think I swallowed my tongue," he rasped out.

"Luther, if you swallowed your tongue, you wouldn't be talking, you big moron," Five scoffed. "Come on, on your feet."

Luther groaned as he sluggishly got up with their help. "Hey, what the hell happened? What was that?"

"She must've redirected Vanya's energy wave," Karina glanced towards the window.

"Yeah, I know, but how?" Luther remarked.

Five glanced up as the chimney began to crumble. "Luther, Rina, watch out!" he shoved them out of the way as the bricks collapsed onto him and buried him.

"Five!" Karina screamed, racing over to the pile. "Five! No! Luther! Help me!" she began to panic.

"Five!" Luther began to try moving bricks.

Suddenly, Lila blinked in, chuckling when she saw them.

"What are you?" Luther slowly got to his feet as Karina scowled.

"Someone who wants to kill your brother," Lila responded coldly.

"Well, that's understandable. Diego can be a lot to handle," Luther admitted.

"Yeah, I was talking about Five."

"Him, too."

"And just for good measure, I'll just kill you too," Lila was glaring at Karina now.

Luther stepped in front of Karina. "But, unfortunately, they're family, so you're shit out of luck."

"Luther, wait!" Karina cried as he threw a punch.

Luther grunted, groaning when Lila caught his fist. He started grimacing as his leather glove creaked. "How is this possible?" he strained out and grunted.

"Gotta believe in yourself, big boy," she remarked before throwing him out of the house.

"Luther, no!" Karina cried.

"Luther!" Allison came running over to his side. "Luther!"

Lila glared back at Karina. "I'll be back for you and your pathetic excuse of a husband." She strode over to the hole in the wall. "Oi!" she caught Allison's attention. "Hi." She grinned.

Lila and Allison began to fight now as Karina went back to trying to unbury Five.

"Come on, love, where are you? I need you!" she was fighting desperately not to cry, scavenging through the pile. "Five, please, if you can hear me just say something or make a noise! Please!" she gasped when she looked up and saw Allison begin to choke. "Allison, no!" she exclaimed as Luther barely caught Allison.

Bricks began to shift as a groan came from beneath the rubble.

"Five!" Karina breathed a sigh in relief when his head slowly popped up. "Five, thank God!"

"Rina…" he coughed as she clumsily helped him to his feet.

"Lila! She-She-her powers! I-"

"Rina!" Five grabbed her by the shoulders. "I know, my love, I know. Are you okay, did she hurt you?"

Karina shook her head and he wiped her eyes gently.

"Okay. Let's go," he nodded, kissing her forehead comfortingly. He went over to the hole. "You looking for us?" he caught Lila's attention.

Lila saw him and scowled. "You little turd."

"Let's dance," Five blinked out.

The two blinked inside as Five caught Lila's fist and Karina ducked to avoid being kicked. Lila punched her back and she caught her other hand, shoving her back. Five threw another punch but Lila blinked to behind him. He whipped around and grunted when her fist collided with his face. He staggered back as Karina kicked Lila across the face and dodged a punch, kneeing her in the stomach.

"For the bloody Head of the Briefcase Division-" Lila punched Karina, shoving her into the nearest, standing wall. "You are remarkably good."

"What can I say, I had a good teacher," Karina spat, not forgetting how rather unfairly ruthless the Handler made her training sessions.

Five blinked in front of Lila but she punched him again and blinked out, reappearing on the counter. He inhaled sharply.

"Careful, now, or you are going to tire yourself out," she advised him mockingly.

"How are you doing this?" Five was breathless.

"Oh, anything that you can do, I can do better," Lila grabbed a nearby skillet and blinked out.

Five blinked out with Karina at the same time.

~ * ~

The three reappeared in the barn. Five saw Lila about to throw the skillet, so he blinked out with Karina. Lila turned and when they reappeared, she threw it. It hit Five clean in the head, causing him to shout and fall to the ground.

"Five!" Karina cried, whipping around to face Lila and punched her.

She staggered back, hitting her in the side. Karina yelped in pain, grabbing her hand and twisting it back.

"You little shit!" Lila blinked away and Karina stumbled some. Lila reappeared, tackling her to the ground and punching her.

Karina shouted, noticing her vision blur ever so slightly and her head start to pound relentlessly. Lila ended up kicking her in the ribs, causing Karina to curse loudly. She groaned in pain, clutching her stomach and curling up some. Before Five could make a move, Lila quickly put her foot on his throat, though he caught it just in time and struggled to stop her.

"Doesn't feel so good, does it?" Lila mocked him.

"Lila-" Karina wheezed out some.

"Oh, shut your mouth!"

"Eat shit and die!" Five choked out.

Lila cried out as he threw her off of him and she landed with a shout. Five groaned as he got up and he gently helped Karina to her feet.

"Come on. What are you waiting for? Let's finish this thing," Five readied himself, watching her angrily.

"No," she breathlessly whispered and sniffled some. "This isn't gonna be quick. For either of you. You two are going to suffer for what you did."

Five scoffed. "Lady, I got no idea what you're talkin' about."

"I never did anything to you," Karina added.

"Ronnie and Anita Gill," Lila spoke.

"Mean nothing to us," Five countered.

"1993, East London. You hog-tied them and you shot them in the head," Lila said to Five and looked at Karina next. "You, built the briefcase that sent him there. Guilty by association. If you hadn't made that bloody device, they would still be alive!"

Five paused, exchanging a look of realization with Karina. "The flower merchants," Five drew out quietly.

"They were your parents," Karina followed in a hollow voice.

"And they never did anything to anyone. They didn't deserve to die like that!"

Five remembered now. "You're right, all right? I killed them. But I killed a lot of people over the years. It was all just a job. All right?"

"And I didn't know anything about the mission. I made the briefcase because it was my job. All I knew was the time and the location. Not who," Karina added reasonably.

"What we did was never personal," Five finished.

Lila laughed bitterly. "'Never personal,' my ass. Yeah, I've killed. It's always, always personal."

"That's why you're not cut out to be an assassin."

"Bet your life on that?" Lila challenged, pulling out a dagger.

"You wanna blame someone? Blame the Handler, all right? She faked the kill order," Five told her, pushing Karina behind him protectively.

"Bullshit," Lila spat. "I saw the kill order and the briefcase instructions. AJ Carmichael ordered it, and you both carried it out."

"Lila, listen to what we're telling you, all right? The Handler gave Five the kill order and she gave me the briefcase blueprints," Karina tried to stay calm.

"She came on the job, which she'd never done before," Five continued. "You're Commission. You know execs never go on jobs, but that day in London, she was there. Ask yourself why."

"Stop trying to muddy the waters," Lila hissed.

"I never realized what she was up to at the time, but…now it all makes sense."

"What?"

"She never cared about your parents-" Five began and Karina chimed in in realization when he said, "She was looking for you."

"Why?" Lila barely made out in a whisper.

Diego suddenly came into the barn with the others. "'Cause you're one of us. The Handler stole you, Lila. Just like our asshоlе father took all of us."

"No. It's not the same thing," Lila argued.

"You're right. Because he didn't have our parents murdered," Diego tried to keep her calm. "Listen to me, Lila. You were born October 1, 1989, the same day as all of us."

"Stay back!" Lila yelled at the others started to surround her and everyone backed away.

"Hey! Hey, stop! Wait. Wait. Hey! Lila? Lila, stop," Diego ordered.

"I trusted you. I got you a job, I even introduced you to my mother, and then you took off on me," Lila accused.

"Because I needed to save the world!" Diego interrupted her. "She's using you, Lila. The Handler."

"You're wrong. She raised me. She loves me," Lila fought.

"Yeah, you know what? Love shouldn't have to hurt this much," Luther spoke up.

Lila looked at him and then mockingly gagged.

Luther frowned. "All right, I tried."

"He's right. We have to kill her," Five went near Lila.

"Hey! Five!" Diego shouted to him.

"Five, stop, just wait a minute," Karina caught his arm.

"I got it," Diego reassured his brother and then looked back at Lila. "Hey, Lila. Truth? She's dangerous. And you're scared of what she'll do with all that new power. That's why you dragged me to the Commission. Because I know what it's like to love dangerous people." He was gazing at her now. "Difference is…" He glanced around at his family. "They love me back."

"Shut up," Lila quietly choked out, holding her knife up at him.

"The only thing she loves is power. Now, the minute she can't use you, she will turn on you, and deep down, I know you know that."

"You don't know me, Diego."

"Don't I?" he was standing in front of her now, looking down at her and she was gazing up at him through watery eyes. "I know that we can be your family…if you just let us."

Lila glanced around at the Hargreeves surrounding her. The moment was ruined however when an automatic gunfire went off, shooting everyone down as Lila dove out of the way.

"Diego, no," Lila choked out as she rushed to his side.

The Handler glanced around triumphantly and strolled into the barn. Lila was sniffling over Diego's body.

"Aww," the Handler almost mocked.

Lila sat back on her knees blankly. "It's true, what Five and Karina said, isn't it?"

"Darling, I need to know that we can get past this, be a happy family again. Hmm?"

Lila looked at her, slowly standing up. "They're my real family." She went over to stand in front of the Handler. "Do you even love me?"

The Handler merely gazed at her and just when Lila was about to stab her, the Handler shot her down as well.

"Que será, será," the Handler hummed over her. Soft, pained gasps made her turn and look to see who remained: Five. "Oh, good. You're still alive." The Handler walked over to his side. "Lucky you. You got to see how this all played out."

The Handler raised her gun to kill him, but another gunshot rang out. The Handler gasped sharply and fell to the ground, dead.

Five felt the agonizing pain of several bullets slowly taking his life away. Every breath got harder to inhale and every blink made his eyelids heavier. His siblings were already dead, surrounding him. And Axel was looming over Five, the head of his gun pointing down at him.

If talking wasn't feeling like a heavy burden, Five would have dared him to pull the trigger. His mind was racing enough, wondering if this was the end of the Umbrella Academy. If this was truly where all his efforts and plans on ending apocalypses and saving his family landed him.

Five swallowed a lump in his throat as his eyes flicked to his left. And that's where he saw her.

Karina.

Five wanted to believe she was just asleep. She was just resting. He knew better. Losing his family was one thing. Losing his significant other was another.

He looked back up at Axel, feeling energy from his determination and desperation to save his family build within him. Familiar blue light began to form in his hands. Voices and memories of his siblings echoed in the back of his mind.

"This doesn't have to mean the end. We can use my ability to time travel," Five told his siblings in 2019, in the opera house.

"You got us stuck here in the first place," Luther accused him when he was at the bar.

He remembered himself and Karina fall through the portal between 1963 and 2019.

"Start small. Seconds, not decades," Sir Reginald Hargreeves himself, advised.

"You were always eager for more. More and more. Insatiable, really. Use that hunger to save the world," Karina told him when they were planning on escaping The Commission.

Five could slowly hear her now over all the other voices. And he clung to that.

"If you go, so do I. We're in this together. We vowed to do things together," her voice continued to echo.

"I'm right here. I'm not leaving you, I promise."

"I trust you more than anyone."

"I believe in you."

"Show me how we're good. Because, I think we could do some good."

"Home became a person and not a place anymore when I met you."

"Let's go save the world, my darling."

Five was desperately grappling onto those memories. Latching onto anything that kept him grounded, because in truth, Karina kept him grounded. He saw the events around him in an almost rewind motion. The Handler's death reversed, his siblings deaths reversed, Karina's death reversed, and everything reversed.

Five felt himself running back through time, literally. He got to the other side of the barn where he cut off his powers. Everyone was alive again.

Diego was standing in front of Lila, looking down at her and she was gazing up at him through watery eyes. "I know that we can be your family…if you just let us."

The moment that the Handler appeared, Five grabbed her gun and pointed it at her. She gasped, slowly holding her hands up in surrender.

"It's true, isn't it?" Lila asked her. "What Five and Karina said."

The Handler looked away, wondering how to overpower the group.

"Answer me!" Lila snapped. "Is it true?"

"Well-" the Handler began but Axel appeared from behind and shot her down.

She grunted softly and fell to the ground, dead. Everyone was horrified as Lila eyed the lone briefcase. She lunged for it.

Luther gasped. "The case!"

"No!" Diego tackled him and they landed with a grunt.

Luther groaned as Lila blinked out with the briefcase. Five cocked his weapon, looking at Axel closely. Everyone evenly watched Axel before Five held his hand up and dropped the gun.

"Enough," Five spoke.

Axel glanced around the room. "Enough," he returned in Swedish, tossing his gun and leaving the barn.

"I almost had her. Why the hell did you stop me?" Luther glared at Diego.

"Because…I love her," Diego strained out a smile as they got to their feet.

"Who the hell was that guy?" Klaus pointed to where Axel left.

"Vanya! Help!" Sissy's voice cried.

Vanya gasped. "Harlan!" she raced out.

Everyone exchanged a glance and then raced down to where they were.

"Sissy?" Vanya called out.

Harlan was cowering on the ground, surrounded by yet another swirling surge of energy.

"Harlan? Harlan! Whatever it is I gave you, I can take it back, okay?" Vanya joined him as everyone outside watched anxiously. "We just, we need to stop this."

Harlan whimpered softly. Vanya put her hands on the boy and energy began whooshing. Soon a bright orb of blue and a small wave rippled through the air, breaking through the surge and ending it. Vanya gasped, falling back. She was panting as she looked at Harlan, who was back to normal now. He looked at Sissy.

She gasped softly and raced over to her son. "Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Oh!" she hugged him tightly, sobbing gratefully.

Vanya looked up at her family with a smile.

A familiar whoosh sounded outside and Diego, Five, and Karina went to see who it was. Luckily, it was only Herb and Dot.

"Herb. Dot," Five greeted when they met in the middle.

"Hi," Dot greeted as Herb chuckled.

"Sup, Herbie?" Diego exchanged a high five/slap/fist bump greeting.

"Hey! My man," Herb chuckled.

"All good?" Diego asked.

"Good to see you guys," Karina smiled.

Dot lit up. "Karina! Good to see you, my dear." She hugged her tightly.

"If it isn't the always lovely Mrs.," Herb shook her hand next. "I haven't seen you in a while."

"Hi Herb. It has been some time," Karina smiled as Five wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing a gentle kiss into her hair.

Herb blew out some air and sighed. "I can't believe it. Is she…?"

"Really dead this time?" Five finished.

"Oh, yeah," Diego confirmed.

"Oh," Herb whispered.

"Now that the Handler's gone, what happens at Commission?" Karina inquired curiously.

Herb hesitated to answer.

"Just tell them!" Dot urged him.

"Eh-" Herb relented. "Well…we need to elect a new board of directors. But, until then, I, um…I've been voted in as acting chairperson."

Dot squealed softly and clapped happily.

"No shit. Congrats, Herbie," Diego told him as Five and Karina smiled from the news. "That's huge!"

"I'm so goddamn nervous!" Herb admitted.

"You'll do fine," Five reassured him warmly.

"Oh, thank you."

"Herb, we need a favor," Five continued.

"Oh, sure, anything."

"A briefcase. Get back home, where we belong."

Herb glanced around at the field. "Take your pick."

Later that night while everyone was saying their goodbyes and making last minute checks to know that everything would be set right, Five found Karina sitting off near a tree.

"Peaceful isn't it?" he asked, sitting down beside her.

Karina nodded, looking down at her necklace. She was fiddling with it thoughtfully.

"Hey," Five took her hand, stopping her. He looked at her. "What's going through that pretty head of yours?"

She sighed. "Nothing. It's nothing."

"It looks like something to me. You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"It'll probably sound insane," Karina scoffed under her breath.

"Insane?" Five repeated. "My darling, you managed to rally up my siblings in a matter of minutes when it has taken me hours or days. Believe me, you are the most sane person out there."

"Jealous, are we?" she eyed him teasingly.

He laughed airily. "No. Impressed. And proud. Besides, it proves my point. If they don't listen to me, at least they listen to you."

"I think I was a little too harsh," she admitted.

"Harsh? That was the nicest, "suck it up assholes", speech we've ever gotten. You rightfully put us in our place and look where it got us. We won," Five smiled.

Karina softly smiled back and looked down again.

"Rina," he tilted her chin up to face him. "Tell me what's troubling you."

Karina sighed. "It's Lila and her situation with the Handler. You know, I always wondered why she kept me as a kid. And now I seriously want to know why. I didn't have any powers. I wasn't made of magic. I'm just…me. Ordinary, local me. I didn't have anything special to offer. So, why did she take me from the one thing I ever knew as family?"

Five looked at her sadly. He bit his lip. Here he was, always used to having the answers. But this one? Unfortunately he didn't. And that hurt immensely, because he knew deep down Karina craved to have that answer.

"Oh, my love, I wish I knew," he sighed softly. "I'm sorry."

Karina nodded blankly. "Me, too."

"You know, if you want to see the better side of it…we would have never met," he tried to cheer her up. "I wouldn't have found you."

"I know. I am grateful to have you," Karina smiled at him.

"As am I," he pulled her into him in a tight, loving embrace. "And I never want to lose you. Ever."

She relaxed into his arms, feeling him kiss her forehead. She wondered and worried why exactly he said that, but, she didn't linger on it.

Of course she had no idea she died and he rewound time after seeing her dead body next to him.

"Hey! Lovebirds! Let's get out of here!" Diego called to the couple.

Five grinned, getting to his feet and helping Karina up to hers. He gave her forehead another kiss, making her laugh before he blinked them over. Everyone huddled up as Luther exhaled.

"Everyone ready?" Five looked around.

"Let's do it, yeah," Luther nodded.

"Okay."

They all took one another's shoulders.

"Wait!" Klaus exclaimed. He hurried over to grab a cowboy hat hanging from the porch railing.

"Fifty bucks if we leave him here," Diego whispered to Five and Five shot him a look.

Klaus ran back to the others and nodded. Everyone braced themselves as Five activated the briefcase. It clicked open and with a bright blue flash, took all of the Hargreeves out of 1963, Dallas.

April 2, 2019

They all reappeared in the entry hall of the Hargreeves Mansion. Everyone gasped, stumbling back.

Allison sighed, panting as she looked around.

"Oh, good God," Luther choked out.

They were all panting and groaning.

"Wh-What day is it?" Klaus wanted to know.

Five grabbed a newspaper from the table. "April 2, 2019. Day after the apocalypse," he announced.

"Wait, so we stopped it," Allison said.

"My God, it's over?" Vanya was elated from that.

"Did we…actually succeed at something?" Klaus whimpered.

"That's incredible!" Karina exclaimed.

Everyone laughed triumphantly.

"Oh!" Klaus cried happily.

"All right!" Luther cheered.

"I don't know about you guys, but I need a drink," Klaus announced.

Luther nodded. "Yes. In fact, I need several."

"I'm in. I'm in," Diego and Vanya echoed.

"I should go find Claire," Allison spoke up.

"Oh, come on, one drink," Luther took her over to them.

"No…" she sighed and ran some to catch up with the others.

Klaus began making the drinks as the others wandered into the living room. Diego slowly made his way to the fireplace, though he was eyeing it in confusion.

"Why is there a painting of Ben over the mantelpiece?” he asked.

Everyone stared up at the portrait in confusion.

"I knew you'd show up eventually," a hauntingly familiar male voice to their left sounded.

The Hargreeves whipped around to see a very alive Sir Reginald Hargreeves standing at the other fireplace.

"Dad," Diego recognized him softly.

Everyone stared at Dad in disbelief and caution.

"You're alive," Luther followed.

"Why shouldn't I be?"

"Yeah. Y-Yeah, you're right. I'm…I'm just happy that we're home and…together again," Luther corrected himself.

"'Home'?" Sir Reginald repeated. "This isn't your home."

Allison was taken back. "What are you talking about? This is the Umbrella Academy."

"Wrong again," Sir Reginald remarked. "This…is the Sparrow Academy."

From behind them, footsteps approached and they turned around. The silhouettes of five people, along with a floating red cube appeared on the landing above.

Down below, Ben Hargreeves himself made his way in, to their shock. He stared at the newcomers coldly and angrily.

"Dad, who the hell are these assholes?" he demanded.

"Shit," the Umbrella Academy collectively cursed.

Well lovely friend it is review time but before I go into it I want to say that should you ever want that reading, feel free to come my way and I'd be happy to do it for you. After all, you have helped me a LOT over this at least year since I got to be graced with your account. That may sound dramatic but it means a lot to get insight on a situation from someone just neutral and looking from the outside within.

Tw: mentions of abuse, family issues, gaslighting, manipulation, deadnaming, misgendering, there just is a lot tbh.

As for the review though: Once again you knocked it out of the park. It seems since he and I even first met (we had a VERY rocky start to our relationship as I only actually met him when I was about 6 1/2 years old), it feels like I was just fighting an uphill battle and losing immensely. To try and do this in a way that won't accidentally throw anyone in a loop via triggers, my dad definitely was a king at finding different ways to abuse me. Verbally, emotionally, mentally, you name it he did it. He was EXTREMELY neglectful to where I know if I was wise and called DCF, he would have definitely gotten in trouble, to the point where I most likely would not have been in his care. Why I never called or told anyone? I felt so afraid he would get mad because of his reputation being ruined.

Truth be told I was in denial for years I had any real "daddy issues" but it definitely is hitting me hard. As all my friends over the years would say, he was the "typical Asian dad (he is Korean; note: not all Asian parents are like this and I know that)" who literally would punish me in cruel and unusual ways or basically "discipline me" to leave it vaguely should I get anything lower than an A. He told me that if I was not trying to be a doctor, lawyer, or anything that made money, I'd forever be picking up garbage off the side of the road and I'd be in and out of jail like my mother, brother, and sister (my brother and sister are my half siblings, I was his only child). This has been about 20 years almost of him just using me, abusing my kindness and the issues between hin and I run deep and his side of the family essentially just blames his cerebral palsy for his lack of empathy and care while I grew up and literal neglect. Like, I'm sorry but who fights with a kid over lunch money or having more than Dustin's (a BBQ place) leftovers in the house to eat? Or to fight with them over things like school supplies and clothes because kids grow???

Ironic enough? I got SUPER lucky that I had some very kind friends who noticed I was in a VERY bad place mentally and I had actually done it to where I cut that side of the family off temporarily. My mom's side of the family despite not being that much better were kind enough to protect my location and would not let them near me, but they called my work constantly where one of the friends and I worked as my dad is one of the supervisors of the entire place and so kuch so that he almost got my friend fired and my boss even was about ready to call the cops.

So I caved. I felt guilty because at the time our relationship was decent enough and really it was my aunt I got very concerned over about other frightening stuff. So I finally talked to them all again and guess what? Nothing changed. I had a literal mental breakdown and they basically accepted the answer but still said it was not a good reason. To them? Literal depression that just keeps getting worse because of what my dad and his family does does not matterbeven if they say it does. Even when I have many times told them the things they say and do hurt me, they claim they are not at fault.

Now here we are again. This past year, nothing has changed and it is just slowly getting worse again. My dad scrutinizes every little thing I do. He deadnames me, misgenders me, and so much more despite him supposedly accepting that I am genderfluid and am not comfortable with my deadname and so forth. The only person who did actually care was my halmeoni (my grandmother aka his mom). I even expressed that I didn't get time with her like my cousins did and feel like the only way I can really keep myself connected with her was to learn Korean culture and the language because otherwise I did not feel Korean enough. He flat out told me if I wanted to be Korean so bad I could go to South Korea but she chose to come to America so I should be happy.

Especially as of late, my depression once again has gotten worse. It's so much so that I cannot recall a time I was actually free from it and of course, signs around me begin just popping up around me about how I just need to leave it all behind. Music for me is a big one, but I have seen it in films, media I consume and more. Literally just went to a concert for Aurelio Voltaire and I had been a fan of his for almost 15 years and he told us all his story about how heeft a toxic environment because he literally was going to if you will- commit unalive until he met some very helpful people and left. I NEVER heard that story of his but it hit me hard that night and now his song Raised by Bats is something I take solace in. I already wanted to move, but this gave me more reason at the time to do so. Shoot, I am even sure Odin whom I had not entirely had contact with lately due to me trying to get my medical issues sorted even slapped some hints right at my face too. This right here? This reading just is the final straw on the camel's back. For years I was the friend who would help others leave toxic families and relationships of any kind and give them a shoulder to cry on. Me? It is hard for me to do it myself. I always felt crazy whether I just was over exaggerating or not on his twists from what seems like a supportive father to a monster. Even friends who once respected him now tell me to leave. So thank you for this. This really helps put the nail in the coffin on what kind of game plan I need to make and I truly feel like me meeting Voltaire and seeing this after is definitely some divine knock on the door. I got to talk to Voltaire after the show too and he told me the story of a character in his book he was making, there was a character in his book with my name (just one letter differently but his name is Artorius not Artorias) who originally worked with the villains and he was the first to see that everything went too far. That enough was enough.

So to anyone else that is in my shoes and can try to leave such things? I'll give you the same words Voltaire gave me in hopes it helps:

"Enough it Enough. It's time to leave now."

Ok first things first you get a hug because...just damn my guy that breaks my heart that you had to go through that. Thank you for sharing your story with me and with whomever else reads this post. I understand wanting to hold out but you said it yourself a parent wouldn't act this way to their kid. I wish you all the best and I hope that you can find a place where you can be away from him and flourish with the people who truly do love you. Thank you, for all of this, and have a wonderful rest of your week.
