Marathon 5/10

Returning to the present.

Sir Reginald: It can't be...  --looking at the two supergirls who were still embracing--

Director: Is everything okay? --quickly opening the door-- -I was in the passageway and I couldn't help but see lights.

Sir Reginald: I adopt them --he paused-- -Both of them.

--A big smile formed on Crystal's face, while Xiomara only looked at Sir Reginald, puzzled by what he had just said and what had just happened. Her mind filled with a thousand and one thoughts, why would Sir Reginald Hargreeves want to adopt us? If he only has superchildren under his care--

--The director was speechless, the problem girl and her tail were leaving, she could only say: -Wow, w-well, I'll do the papers right away.

--Sir Reginald nodded--

At the front door

Crystal: I can't believe I finally have a FATHER *internal screams* well we do, which is much better!! happy dance  --the girl moved her fists to the beat of her hips--

Xiomara: Yes, we will be together...

Crystal: Is something wrong? I find you strange.​

Xiomara: No, nothing, just ignore me, but don't ignore this... Officially WE WILL BE SISTERS!!

--Sir Reginald came out of the orphanage with a manila folder in his hand--

Sir Reginald: Come on girls, get in  --he said to the supergirls who were still standing in front of the car--

Crystal: Goodbye! I'm not going to miss you  --making a gesture with her hand while she saw the facade of the orphanage--

Arriving at the Academy

Sir Reginald: Girls, don't go out yet, I'll be back in a moment  --both girls nodded--

...

--Xiomara was still looking with a frown, still thinking of a thousand and one crazy theories while Crystal was still happy looking out the window--

Crystal: Hey, what are you thinking?  --she asked, noticing her now sister with a lost look--

Ximara: Huh? ​

Crystal: When you think, you always frown, and years of being with you helped me to know that look, so...

-What are you thinking?  --she sat down, turning her back to the window and looking at her sister carefully and then listening to her in the same way--

Xiomara: Doesn't it seem strange to you, and I could even say suspicious, that the man who is in charge of six super-children wants to adopt us?  --causing Crystal to frown in confusion--

Crystal: But we don't have powers...

--Xiomara was about to say a word but was interrupted by...

Pogo: Nice to meet you, ladies  --he greeted after opening the car door, causing the girl to remain silent looking at him in surprise, Crystal poked her head out and when she saw a primate with advanced intelligence her jaw dropped--

Sir Reginald: Girls, you can go down now.

--When they came down they saw a beautiful woman with a white shirt and a pink skirt with a print of black dots--

Grace : Hi, loves  --with a smile--

--The girls politely greeted Pogo and Grace with a smile--

Grace: Surely you are hungry, come with me  --offering a hand to Xiomara and another hand to Crystal--  -I will prepare something delicious for you.

--The girls looked at Sir Reginald--

Sir Reginald: Go with her, girls.

--The girls took Grace's hands, and together they entered the great Umbrella Academy--

In a room

Grace : I hope you enjoy it  --leaving each of you a plate of French toast stuffed with papaya jam and orange juice--  -And remember loves, drink all the juice.

Xiomara: It's fine, thank you.

Crystal: Yes, thank you very much.

--Grace stayed with the girls until they finished breakfast--

Grace : Very good, loves  --she said seeing that both girls drank all the juice--

Minutes later both girls fell into a deep sleep.

Pogo: Remember, Grace. Nobody must know this, at least not for now.

Grace : I understand  --she said with a smile--

The Umbrella Academy: Two more supergirls. (Pause)Where stories live. Discover now
