Questions | Five Hargreeves • The Umbrella Academy •

Alt. Ch. 3

Amura woke up at the Academy's living room.

Turning her head to her side only to see Five staring into nothingness while holding a glass of champagne.

Him and his siblings were celebrating their first success in saving the world.

Hoping that this will be the last as well as they don't want to have an incoming apocalypse once again.

But the boy don't look like it.

He was so deep in his head that he didn't even noticed the girl sitting up and observing her surroundings, seeing Klaus and Diego drinking at the bar.

While Luther, Allison and Vanya were in front of the fireplace.

The siblings were really laughing at their conversations, catching up, finally bonding as a family and were having fun.

Amura smiled at that and then turned her attention back at Five.

"Hey." She greeted the boy who looked at her in shock.

"Are you alright?" He asked as soon as his head whipped to her direction, standing up to approach her.

This earned the other's attention as well, approaching them while the girl sat properly, placing her feet on the floor.

"You're making such a big fuss." The brunette chuckled at the boy who was obviously serious.

So Amura pursed her lips and finally answered, "Yeah, I'm fine now... How long was I out?" She asked.

"About two hours?" Klaus answered with a question, looking at his watch unsure.

Though he was obviously drunk.

"I was worried." Five said and held her hand, earning a smile from the girl.

The others woo at the boy but he was so deep in his mind to even bother.

"Hey... For reals, I'm fine now. A rest was all I needed." Amura assured him and patted his head, stroking his soft hair.

"To us! Saving the world!" Luther raised his glass, quite giddy.

Maybe drunk too.

The others raised their glasses as well, following their brother's action.

Amura took Five's glass from his hand and raised it too, earning a raised eyebrow from him.

"To us." She said and sipped the champagne out of it while looking at the boy.

"To us!"

Five shook his head in disbelief with a small smile on his face.

The girl smiled as well and placed the glass on a table beside her, holding Five's hand instead.

"Well, I think it's already late guys... You all should take a rest." Amura told them and dragged the boy by the hand.

Walking up the stairs and into the Five's room, "Use protection!" They heard Diego's muffled voice down the stairs shouting at them.

Which earned a laugh from his siblings and an eye roll with a sly smile from the two 16-year olds.

"I doubt that you'll take a rest, you just woke up from passing out... What are you up to this time?" Five asked the girl when they finally reached the boy's room.

Crossing his arms at the reckless girl who sat down his bed with a nervous smile.

"You really can read me better now." She chuckled while scratching her nape.

The green eyed boy took a breath and glared at the girl in a stoic manner, "You're about to do something reckless aren't you?" He asked, his voice was stern yet it held concern for the girl.

"Five... I'm not going to do something reckless..." She tried to reassure the other, lending her arms out to him.

The boy sighed and approached her, embracing her as she embraced him back.

"I'm just going to meet my mother." She said, looking up at him with a smile.

He replied back with a small smile before crouching in front of her, holding her hands while looking at them.

"I'm just worried... You know? You just died in front of me a while ago, you passed out just a few hours ago and now I don't know what will happen to you... I-"

Amura held his cheek for him to look her in the eyes, "Okay... I have to admit, what I did earlier was reckless... It was my first time doing that and yet I overused it, but now... I'm just going to meet my Mother... Nothing more nothing less."

She smiled at him before kissing his forehead, like the baby he is.

"And... To meet my Mother, I need you to do something." The girl said looking away from the boy, avoiding his gaze.

He only furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion, "And what is it?"

"I... Need you to take care of my 7-year old self." She said and chuckled nervously at her request.

Feeling that the boy will reject having to take care of a child, much less her as a child.

They have to admit, they kind of hated each other the first time they met.

Five hated her because he don't trust her and Amura hated him because he was always mad and in distrust.

"Sure..." The boy stood up and looked at the girl, "What could go wrong?" He shrugged.

But deep inside he was awfully worried, not only because something bad might happen to Amura but because he was really bad with children.

Sure he thought of having kids before, like, 'Maybe I'll actually take care of them and love them.' but to have to take care of children that weren't even related to him... Is another topic.

The girl noticed the boy being so deep in his head once again, chuckling before holding his hand to snap him out of his trance.

"Don't worry old man, I'm such a sweetheart as a child." She smirked at him before using her powers to look into her own sight.

And now the boy was even more nervous to meet the 7-year old Amura.

Not knowing if the girl's statement was a sarcastic one, or she actually meant it.

The two have been sarcastic with each other that they sometimes thought they were finally serious.

Inside Amura's clairvoyance, she searched for the specific sight.

The one that she was sure that her Mother was talking about back when she saw her in the afterlife.

"I remembered when we went here on your 7th birthday, you were so happy with the sight and the feeling of the beach."

"You'll remember it soon, as if it was tomorrow."

To bring it up in the conversation was quite weird for Amura.

It was so sudden, as if her Mother was secretly telling her something.

And so she turned her head to the door that leads to herself back in 1996, October 1.

Her 7th birthday and her first time coming to the beach.

She opened the door and walked in, letting the sudden light engulf her eyesight.

And opening them to the sight of the sun kissing the sea, painting them yellow and orange as it slowly sink.

The breeze was so refreshing and the salty air was hitting her small nose.

The ocean waves were hitting her now smaller feet, fiddling her toes in amusement.

And then she turned her head to her side, seeing a woman who have a long wavy brown hair that dances through the air.

With freckles that touches her pale cheeks and her hazelnut eyes that were innocently admiring the sunset in front of her.

"Mom..." Amura called out to the woman with her small voice.

Who turned her attention to her with a smile, tucking the hair on her ear.

"Hola, mi Estrella."

(Hi, my Star.)
