(Name) opens the door to her childhood home. Nothing have changed since she left it.

"Hello room, how's it been?" She asks, jumping in bed. It feels comfortable as it always have been. She looks up the ceiling and the memory of their first mission comes to mind.

17 years ago...

"I heard a rumor." Allison casually says.

"What? What did you say?" The robber asked. He seemed to love to gossip seeing he still took time to hear what she's about to say.

"I heard a rumor that you shot your friend in the foot."

And loo and behold, the robber did what he was told. He shot his friend who didn't expect that he'll actually do it.

Luther jumped down from the roof and landed next to where the hostages are. He proceeded to slam the robber's head on counter before throwing him out of the building.

Diego came in next with his line that he practiced all morning. "Guns are for sissies. Real men throw knives." He threw his knives at a robber who never expected that he'll be the target.

The last of the robber in the room gets up into the counter then begins threatening the siblings with his guns. "Get back, you freaks."

"Hey, be careful up there, buddy."

"Get back now!"

"Yeah. Wouldn't want you to get hurt." (Name) calls out with a saber in hand, bloodied from recently taking care of the guys on the backdoor.

Five appears in front of the guy, sitting cross legged. "Or what?"

He disappears before a bullet could hit him. He reappears again in front of the guy who now has a stapler as a gun.

"Ooh! That's one badass stapler!" He commented and slammed it on the robber's head.

"Do we really have to do this?" Ben stands nervously in front of the door leading to the vault.

"Sorry Ben, but you have to. I can hear 4 of them inside." (Name) says before sneakily using Five's cloth to wipe the blood off of her saber.

"Come on, Ben. There's more guys in the vault."

"I didn't sign up for this." He enters and before they know it, the hostages are running off in horror from what they've seen. Minutes later, he comes out bloodied and shaken. "Can we go home now?"

If (Name) can remember clearly, the interview came in next and how the Umbrella Academy started their public work.

...Seems like she has fallen asleep before the flashback even started. Let's leave her be, she's tired from the journey.

Minutes later... A familiar nostalgic beat is heard coming out of Luther's room. Everyone of the siblings knows the beat, this was their jam after all. They used to dance to it like no one is watching.

♪ Children behave ♪

♪ That's what they say When we're together ♪

♪ And watch how you play ♪

♪ They don't understand And so we're ♪

♪ Running just as fast as we can ♪

♪ Holdin' on to one another's hand ♪

♪ Tryin' to get away into the night ♪

♪ And then you put your arms around me ♪

♪ And we tumble to the ground And then you say ♪

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

♪ There doesn't seem to be anyone around ♪

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

♪ The beating of our hearts Is the only sound ♪

Even someone as tired as (Name) can't resist the beat she used to dance on. Like a zombie, she arises from the comfort of her bed and starts to move her hips with the beat.

♪ Look at the way ♪

♪ We gotta hide what we're doin' ♪

♪ 'Cause what would they say ♪

♪ If they ever knew And so we're ♪

♪ Running just as fast as we can ♪

♪ Holdin' on to one another's hand ♪

♪ Tryin' to get away into the night ♪

♪ And then you put your arms around me ♪

♪ And we tumble to the ground And then you say ♪

The adoptive siblings dance like no one is watching them. They're certain no one is watching because they know that everyone in the house is probably dancing like what they're doing right now.

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

♪ There doesn't seem to be anyone around ♪

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

♪ The beating of our hearts Is the only sound ♪

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

♪ There doesn't seem to be anyone around ♪

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

♪ The beating of our hearts Is the only sound ♪

Suddenly, their little dance party is interrupted. Lights flicker and what sounds to be thunder can be heard outside.

(Name) watch in curiousity as various metal objects are magnetically hurled across the room as if they're trying to go somewhere but fail because of the wall of the house separating them.

"Either that or a miniature black hole. One of the two." (Name) hears Luther say as she walks out of the mansion.

Diego as always, retorts back to this. "Pretty big difference there, Paul Bunyan."

"What did I miss? And why do I have to urge to jump inside that portal just so I can get away from this reality?" (Name) says taking a step forward only to be stopped by Diego who pulls her behind him.

"You might be an idiot but there ain't no way I'm letting you walk in there. You have a funeral to attend, after all." Diego likes to be heroic in front of his sibling so this is expected.

"Hmm. Fair enough."

Vanya takes (Name)'s hand knowing how her curiosity can seriously make her jump to the thing in front of them.

Klaus comes running out of the house with a fire extinguisher in hand. "Out of the way!" Before anyone can question, Klaus uses it on the portal then throws it.

"What is that gonna do?" Allison yells out.

"I don't know. Do you have a better idea?"

"Whoa. I see someone." (Name) says trying to look behind her taller brothers who shields her and the others from whatever is going to happen

"Everybody get behind me."

"Yeah, get behind us."

"I vote for running, c'mon!" Klaus tells his siblings.

"And I vote for going i-" Before (Name) can continue her sentence, the portal disappears but not before someone falls out from it. She walks closer with her siblings to see the person she half expected. "Finally, after all these years..."

"Does anyone else see little Number Five, or is that just me?"

"Shit."

"You haven't seen us for years and that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth?" (Name) jokes.

"(Name) go make me a sandwich."

"I'd do that, why?"

"Because I told you so."
