My name is Alexa, Lexi Hardgreves I am number three.
I was adopted by my father Reginald Hardgreves along with my siblings who were all born on the same day. The unusual part none of our mother were pregnant when our birth day began. Each one of use possess a unique power unlike anything else. Mine is a little more complicated than my siblings.
I have this energy that surrounds me it attached to my emotions.

It's always violet pink just like my hair which is waist length and is often  in some form of braid.That's  not all though it became apparent when I was quite young that I can bring things to life with this energy I have. It started small. Drawings of rain clouds or birds. However as I got older it became more problematic. Reginald was not impressed with the sabra tooth tiger I managed to conjure which also happened to be pink.
As I grew even older I began tattooing my self with these image and just like they did on paper they came to life.
Some people may not enjoy having such gifts but I loved it with all my heart it gave me so much strength and power .It also kept me extremely youthful which I was great full for I may be thirty three but I didn't look a day over eighteen.


The Sparrow Academy
They day began as usual I spent the morning training in all sorts of combat.Kung-fu, karate and jazitzu. Not to gloat but I was certainly the best equipped for a fight.A fair fight that is. My siblings especially Ben ignored the importance of training he was incredibly arrogant. We we're only the best in the world because we hadn't been challenged in many years. I mean who would, we were the Sparrow Academy  the most loved and fear family in the world. That was all until we had guest that is .......

I stood with my other siblings on the balcony facing a group of people who claimed to be our  fathers children the Umbrella Academy.
They didn't seem to be any sort of competition. They looked as father would say incredibly average.
One was sheltered by an obnoxiously large hat. Though it did suit him. He seemed delirious claiming that Ben was his brother and then that Ben was dead.
Wow! I bet that one hurt.
Behind him was someone much smaller than the rest of his siblings he seemed reserved. He was scanning the room until his eyes landed upon me.
I smirked at him. He gave me a confused look. our eyes seemed inter locked.He was cute I'll admit. Green eyes glistening. Maybe cute was an understatement.
Suddenly I was brought out of my trance as my family pounced upon his. They were terrible not one was standing for long especially the big  one Daniel was destroying the guy.
At this moment in time I didn't think my talent would be useful so I observed quietly. All of them had powers but again my sight was captured by the boy.
I followed my sister up the stairs as  they fought each other off until she had the chance to spit her venom.
Yikes it was embarrassing to watch whatever it was that he was doing was seriously putting me off the guy.
"Are they all perverts?" My sister questioned. I only chuckled In response whoever they were it wasn't good.
By the time we had gathered with the rest of the family all had fled but one this one was powerful before we knew it we were all flung into the air.
God that hurt!
