Chapter 1: Meet the Family

As we see Tate in her room, fixing up her uniform and tying her hair up in a ponytail from the other room, and then slowly attempting to create a fireball using the palms of her hands, a tiny spark comes out of her hands and then disappears

"Shit.. why can't I make a damn fireball"

𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗸𝗮 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟴

Till an alarm goes off from the academy intercom, she realizes her family needs her and quickly gets up from her desk and rushes out onto a balcony next to her sibling's side, she hears a conversation from the living room.

"What are you talking about? This is the umbrella academy" A woman wearing a black cape with black hair looks at their father with a confused look

"Wrong again" As my father and the six strangers turned their heads to see me standing in the middle and my siblings up on the balcony watching them the whole time

"Dad, who the hell are these assholes?" As Ben walked in clearly not pleased with the strangers in our house

"What's going on down there?" As I whispered to Sloane

"It's okay, Tate, we'll be fine," As she held my hand, slowly comforting me

"Shit.." As the six strangers said in unison

"Ben," The man with a cowboy hat said

As a muscular man walked toward Ben, I started to get worried and prepare to conjure up my powers but Sloane stopped me.

"Ben, Is that you?" As the buff man looked closely.

Till a man yelled out "And who are the weirdos on the balcony?" Holding a blade in his hands

"They are the Sparrows" as my father introduced us "My children" as a slight rumble came out of nowhere, I didn't quite notice or felt anything as Jayme just casually crossed her arms while I looked at one of the strangers, he was in a uniform similar to ours

"I'm sorry what do you mean, your children? that's not possible old man" as the small boy walked toward dad

"Of course it is! I think I'd know, wouldn't I?" As we headed down to our living room, facing the strangers

"Everyone else can see Ben, right?" As the man pointed toward my brother

"Cute hat, Sundance" as Ben dubbed him

"They call themselves, The Umbrella Academy. A group of scheming perfidious malcontents who accosted me in the fall of 1963"

I noticed the short boy eyeing a briefcase that was on one of the tables in the room

"When I was away on business in Dallas. Be warned, they claim to be my spawn."

"Claim? Look, Five, what the hell is going on?" As the lady walked toward my father looking confused at the speech my father made

"I don't know yet, but it's concerning." As the boy stared at me and I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms

"Is he telling the truth?" Marcus asked

"Not the part about us being perfidious." As the girl tried to clarify

"No, we're amateur-fidious, at best" As the man tried to joke around

"But we are his children. This is our house."

"Yeah, Yeah. We uh... We grew up here." As the man stutters

"Yeah, we grew up here" as Alphonso mocked the man

"And you had fun with your family, playing games and watching cartoons every day, is that right" I continue mocking them.
