River walked around the house multiple times trying to get her mind off Luther. She felt betrayed that someone she used to be so close to would ever think that she would murder there father. She finally fell into her old room polaroid's were stuck on the walls of her and the rest of the team. She walked closer to them picking one off the wall tears flooded to her eyes as she looked over the faces a little River and Ben. She went to put it back but she felt some sort of force grabbing her arm stopping her from doing so.

"Shit" She whispered as she wiped tears from her eyes and pulled the photo closer to her chest "Okay... okay" She put down her drink and jumped up and down "Sober up Riv" She then turned to see herself in the mirror her mascara was now slightly smudged. "God I'm a mess" She cleaned her eyes up and lied down on her bed looking at the photo of her and Ben as she did music started to echo through the house.

"Children behave. That's what they say when we're together and watch how you play they don't understand and so we're running just as fast as we can holding onto one others hand"

River slowly started to bop her head to the music. She lifted her body off her bed and started to dance to the music pulling on old scarf off her door and dancing with that a small smile on her face as she twirled. She felt like eyes were on her but the girl didn't care she was just enjoying the moment.

"Trying to get away into the night, and then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground, and then you say, I think we're alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now. The beating of our hearts is the only sound."

What the young girl couldn't see was someone leaned against her wall holding the hand he toughed her with still out of shock that he stopped her. A wide smile was on his face as he saw the girl twirling and smiling.

"Look at the way. We gotta hide what we're doing. Cause what would they say if they ever knew? And so we're running just as fast as we can. Holding on to one another's hands. Trying to get away into the night. And then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground. And then you say,"

The music was cut off by a loud rumble of thunder. River turned to look at her window to see her metal trinkets shaking then lift themselves up and fly in her direction. She stopped them with her telekinesis before they could hit her and ran out of her room to the courtyard with the rest of the umbrella academy.

"What is it?" Vanya questioned.

"Don't get too close" Allison warned while grabbing hold of Luther's shoulder.

The wind howled causing Diego to pull River closer. "Yeah, no shit" He responded.

Luther looked at the mysterious blue thing that was in their courtyard "Looks like some sort of temporal anomaly. Either that or a miniature black hole. One of the two" Luther explained.

"I'm no genius but it seems like there is a pretty big difference" River shouted.

"Rivers got a point Paul Bunyan" Diego joked.

"Out of the way" Klaus shouted at everyone. He shoved in-between his siblings and tried to use a fire extinguisher. When that didn't work he threw it into what Luther thought was a temporal anomaly.

"What is that going to do?" Allison questioned.

Klaus shrugged his shoulders "I don't know. Do you have a better idea?"

"Yes" River responded and grabbed the man by his collar "Get here" What looked to be a man appeared in the anomaly.

"Everyone get behind me" Luther shouted while shoving Klaus and Allison behind himself.

"Yeah get behind us" Diego also shouted while pulling River and Vanya behind himself.

River and Vanya both rolled there eyes at the two boys while Klaus grabbed Rivers arm "I vote for running come on" River shook her head and stayed put. The man seemed to change for a brief second. River could have sworn she recognized his face. He finally dropped to the ground and the 6 adults slowly started to approach him in anticipation to see who the person was. The person looked up and revealed himself to be Five.

"Does anyone else see little number five or is that just me?" Klaus asked.

Five looked himself up and down and muttered out a single word "Shit"
