Bloodshot - the umbrella academy

Chapter 5 - The dreaded funeral

TW: mention of  / s3lfh4rm, blood

The Hargreeves family strolled out into the courtyard and formed somewhat of a circle shape next to their brother, Ben's statue. Darcie had offered Diego her umbrella since he didn't have one. He declined the offer even though he was soaked. Luther was carrying the urn of their father and stood in front of the others. Everyone looked even gloomier than they were in the morning.

"Did something happen?" Grace asked, she had completely forgotten that Reginald had died.

"Dad died. Remember?" Allison reminded the robot. "Oh. Yes, of course." Grace said in a downcast fashion.

"Is mom okay?" Allison then turned to Diego. "Yeah. Yeah, she's fine. She just needs to rest. You know, recharge.

Pogo came forward "Whenever you're ready, dear boy." the small monkey signaled to Luther. Luther then tipped the urn downwards, with intentions that the ashes would come falling. The pile of ashes sat there on the leafy ground. Darcie snickered at the boy's failure.

"Probably would have been better with some wind." Luther mumbled, everyone was looking directly at him.

"Does anyone wish to speak?" Pogo began. Diego looked down and Klaus was occupied by his cigarette. "Very well." The monkey said after the silence. "In all regards, Sir Reginald Hargreeves made me what I am today. For that alone, I shall forever be in his debt." You could see Diego was outraged by this. "He was my master and my friend, and I shall miss him very much. He leaves behind a complicated legacy-"

"He was a monster." Diego spat, which made Klaus and Darcie chuckle. "He was a bad person and a worse father. The world's better off without him."

"Diego." Allison warned. "My name is Number Two." Diego turned to the woman. "You know why? Because our father couldn't be bothered to give us actual names. He had mom do it." The boy continued.

"Would anyone like something to eat?" Grace asked. "No, it's okay, mom." Vanya answered gently. "Oh, okay." The robot woman said in a sad tone.

Diego walked forward. "Look, you wanna pay your respects? Go ahead. But at least be honest about the kind of man he was." Diego spat again. 

"You should stop talking now." Luther demanded, he was outraged by Diego's remark. Diego narrowed his eyes at the large man. "You know, you of all people should be on my side here, Number One." The angered boy disagreed.

"I'm warning you."

"After everything he did to you? He had to ship you a million miles away." Diego began once again.

"Diego, stop talking." Luther's tone was now becoming more gruff.

"That's how much he couldn't stand the sight of you!" Diego yelled, he thumped Luther's chest.

Luther swung a punch, but the boy missed. The two of them then started a full on fight. "Boys, stop this at once!" Pogo demanded.

Darcie went over to where Klaus and Five were stood. "I'll give you ten bucks if Diego doesn't win." She joked. "Bet. Luther's like 3 time's the size of him, Diego's dead." Klaus remarked. 

"Come on big boy!" Diego taunted.

"Stop it!" Vanya timidly yelled. "Hit him! Hit him!" Darcie and Klaus chanted, their hands in the air. Many kicks and punches were thrown. "We don't have time for this." Number Five then left to go inside.

As Luther tried to punch the boy, Diego dodged. Luther's fist met with Ben's statue and it came falling down. "Oh.." Klaus said, hurt. "And there goes Ben's statue." Allison commented and then walked out.
