On the 12th hour on the first day pf October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began.

Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

He got eight of them.

***Present day ***

Darcie Hargreeves woke up in what seemed to be her childhood bedroom. Her memory was fuzzy but she could recall dropping in at the academy late last night. She had been drinking a lot the day before and the academy was nearer than her apartment, so she thought she might aswell.

The girl bolted up, her head spinning. "ah shit." She wobbled a bit as she stood up although it would wear off throughout the day.

Darcie could hear snarky remarks coming from downstairs, she figured it was Diego. Same old, same old, nothing had changed. She got dressed as she was still in her clothes from last night. All she could find in her wardrobe was a green sweater and a pair of black mom jeans, the rest being the uniform of the academy. The jeans were a bit snug but the jumper had always been baggy so it fit almost perfectly now.

The girl headed down the hallway, catching a glimpse of Diego going into Reginald's room. As she got herself a bowl of cereal from the kitchen, a noise came from behind her. The girl turned around.

"Hey Darcie!" Klaus exclaimed. "Long time no see ay?"

"hey Klausy" the girl replied. "Omg I missed you so much" the girl went in for a hug.

They both beamed smiles at eachother.

He looked terrible, but it was nice to see her brother again. She hadn't been doing too well the past few months and she could tell that he hadn't either.

As they retreated from the hug Luther entered the room, "Uh hey guys." he coughed. "We're having a family meeting so you two make sure to be there" The large man then turned towards the door and saw himself out.

"My god, I had forgotten how much he likes family meetings" Darcie uttered.

"yeah I think being in space for 4 years only made his need for control grow even larger"

Her brother's remark made the girl chuckle. "He probably got so delusional he started bossing around small moon rocks"

Klaus smirked, " Yeah and he would tell them to get into formation like.." Klaus put on a gruff voice, "Come on everyone! We need to protect the desolate areas of space! Get your space helmets on."

The two giggled amongst themselves, "You two ,come on, family meeting remember?" Luther's voice echoed from the other room.
