"Wrong again. This is the Sparrow Academy." Reginald corrected.

And as if on cue, footsteps were heard walking on the second floor.

Diego pulled his knife out as an instinct to assert dominance.

And a man suddenly walked in front of them, looking at them with judgement.

"Dad, who the hell are these assholes?"

And then the man looked at Amura in confusion, "Amura you're back? Why do you look like a 16-year old?"

Their eyes widened in shock, not only because the man was Ben.

Who was obviously different than the Ben who passed away.

But they were also shocked to hear that Amura from this timeline was obviously a member of the 'Sparrow Academy.'

"Shit." They all muttered.

"Ben." Klaus smiled at the sight of the supposed to be dead brother of theirs.

"Is that really you?" Luther asked, almost sentimental but Ben just stared at him as if he's ridiculous.

"And who are the weirdos on the balcony?!" Diego exclaimed that had the girl wincing.

It's not that hard to comprehend.

'We travelled back into the future wherein our 1963 exploring took a toll on us and caused this to happen.' The brunette thought to herself while glaring at Reginald.

"They are the Sparrows. My children." The old man answered Diego's question.

"I'm sorry. What do you mean, your children?" Five asked, "That's not possible, old man."

"Of course it is! I think I'd know, wouldn't I?"

"It's not impossible if Reginald here analyzed each and every one of us and avoided the possibility of adopting you all... Well except from Ben... And... Me... Then it is not impossible." Amura shrugged as she explained.

"Everybody else can see Ben, right? It's not just me and Amura?" Klaus asked that made the said girl look at him.

"Cute hat, Sundance." Ben said as the other members of the Sparrow Academy walked down the balcony and stood right beside him.

"They call themselves the Umbrella Academy, a group of scheming, perfidious malcontents who accosted me in the fall of 1963 when I was away on business in Dallas." The old man explained while the boy and the brunette looked at each other before looking at the briefcase where they left it.

"Be warned, they claim to be my spawn."

"Claim?" Allison was ready to defend herself but had a second thought and looked at the two teenager-looking adults, "Look, Five, Amura, what the hell is going on?"

"I don't know yet, but it's concerning." Five answered.

"Look... This is all just a big misunderstanding, now... If we could just leave—"

"Leave!? This is our home Amura!" Diego cut her off before she could even continue making her glare at him.

"Why are you even on their side Amura!" Ben exclaimed that got the girl looking at the other group.

"Don't talk to my girlfriend like that Ben." Five glared at the latter.

"Can you all put a sock in it for a moment!? I'm trying to bloody think!"

"When did Amura got an English accent?" A guy with undistinguishable face asked his sister.

"Is he telling the truth?" A person of color from the Sparrows asked.
