Limitless - The Umbrella Academy

11. Limits

I start my powers up, the red firey glow coming out of my hands, as the guy tries to throw a punch. I stop his punch with my powers, smiling at him as he tries to throw another hand, me stopping it again.
"You fucked with the wrong bitch today." I say, throwing him backwards, his body sliding across the floor. He gets up after a second, trying to come back over to me. I punch and kick some more, trying to combat him, but a big man compared to me will always work, and I was getting tired. He got me good a few times, but I kept fighting. I eventually build up enough strength and anger, screaming out as I use all my force in my body, pushing him back into the wall, even breaking the wallpaper and concrete a bit. I feel my head starting to spin as my ears start ringing, falling to the ground as I get weaker. That was all I had left in me. This guy just wouldn't give up. I feel my body slump over, the ringing fully taking over in my ears, hearing footsteps and Allison's voice, and Diego running over to me.
"Come on, Aleya you gotta get up. You got this." Diego whispers to me through the ringing in my ears, pulling my body up, just enough for me to stand. He looks me in the face, as I smile at him, barely being able to keep my eyes open. "Oh my god. What did he do to you?" He says with worry, as I taste the metallic blood coming from my nose. Oh that probably wasn't pretty. As I regain my conciousness, we help Luther up, as soon as we do. I hear cracking and electricity buzzing ahead of us, but before we can react, we get shoved.
"Out of the way!" Luther yells, seeing the chandelier falling. I try to catch it as best I can, but I was too late, the chandelier falling down on Luther's body. I pick it up soon after it falls, grunting and using all my force to flip it off of him, much to Diego's detest, but finally succeeding. As I do so, Luther stands up, his clothing attached to the chandilier. It rips off, revealing something none of us had seen before. Luther's body covered in, hair? But like, long black hair, and he was shaped like a.. gorilla? Ape? We all look in shock, Luther running up the stairs. I fall to the ground again, feeling weaker than I have in years. Man I haven't used my powers that much and that much weight since... 10 years ago? Allison runs to my side, as I cough and feel the horrible side effects of not using telekenisis little by little, it's just like lifting weights. If you don't build up to 115 pound weights, and you go straight from 5 pounds to 115 pounds, you're going to hurt yourself. That's like what I did here. I feel Allison pull me into the living room, her and Vanya pulling me onto the couch.

"Who were those people?" Vanya says, Allison handing her a wet cloth to clean her wound up. I hold a cloth to my nose, the bleeding finally almost come to a full stop, the dizziness and ear-ringing stopped, I was regaining strength too.
"I don't know, but we are lucky to be alive." Allison says, sitting on the table infront of me and Vanya. Vanya holds the cloth to her head, her face signaling it was painful.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Allison says, touching Vanya's knee in comfort. She nods, as Diego walks in the room too, pacing and breathing shakily. Allison looks at us, and then back at him. "Diego?" She says softly, and he looks at us, his tounge in his cheek.
"What are you still doing here?" Diego says, pointing at her.
"I'm just trying to help." Vanya says quietly, and Diego does what he does best, run his mouth.
"No, you could've been killed." He says more agressively. "Or gotten any of us killed. She is a liability." He says to Allison, as I scoff.
"She was just trying to help Diego stop being a dick. She's family too, she was just trying to see if we were okay-" I start before he cuts me off.
"And you! You should know you have limits! You could've died because you didn't use your powers properly. You just don't know when to stop." He spits at me, as I shake my head.
"Like you know either." I say, biting my tounge. He walks towards the other couch.
"Allison?" Vanya says, as Allison looks at her in sadness.
"I think what he's trying to say is that this kind of stuff is dangerous. You're just-"
"Not like you." Vanya says, nodding as she gets up, walking away. Allison chases after her.
"No, that's not what I- Vanya wait." Allison tries to stop her.
"Let her go. It's for the best." Diego says, sitting on the other couch. Allison stops at the entry, sighing.

I look at myself in the mirror, my hair a complete mess and filled with blood, the dried blood still up my nose, the taste of metallic blood still hadn't left my mouth yet. I brushed my teeth, trying to rid the taste. I took a long awaited bath, cleaning myself from the blood, I brushed my hair out, and tried to clean the inside of my nose up with cotton swabs. For the most part I looked normal, but a good nights sleep was what I needed. I go towards my room, not helping but look at Klaus' door across the hall from mine. I open the door slowly, peering into the darkness. I turn on the lights, seeing of course no one there. It sucked not having Klaus here, especially after something like that. I didn't even see him tonight. He was gone 90% of the time anyways. I sigh, sitting on his bed, looking at all his childhood stuff in the room, random posters, a small TV, some drawings and white string lights strung up. It was messy, like how it always was when he was here. I smile, lingering for just a few minutes longer. I then look down, sadned. I just wanted comfort that no one else could give to me. Except for, maybe Pogo. He was probably asleep. Five? God knows where he is these days. That guy needs a GPS. Diego? He hated me right now for almost dying, and refusing to kiss him. Allison was probably with Luther, I guess the only thing left was to go to bed.
