Let it Rain (The Umbrella Academy)

CHAPTER SIX: Sister Sister

Lila and I became really close friends over the years. We considered ourselves more like sisters now than anything. We were on our one-thousandth mission now.

"Ayyy! We made it to the big number one-triple-O. We should go do something to celebrate, Cam!" Lila said, draping an arm over my shoulders.

I put an arm around her waist. "Aye! Definitely. What should we do?" I beamed.

"What would you say to getting drunk?" She slyly slipped the idea out there. The time that me and Five got drunk popped into my head.

—————

"Almost jealous of that bottle right now."

"You're going to tell me to stop drinking aren't you?" I rolled my eyes and tipped back another swig.

"Well if you're not gonna give it up then I might as well join you. Suffer together and all." I passed him the bottle with surprise and he took a drink. "Still better than coffee."

"You've never even tried coffee." He passed the bottle back and shrugged.

"I heard about your brother."

"Yeah... well we've all got family issues."

"Very true."

I laid my head on his shoulder and he laid his head on mine. "Thank you."

"No problem. Seven got me to come help you but I don't think this is what she meant." He laughed.

"Well I'm glad you're here." I smiled.

We woke up cuddled in each others arms, suffering the next day through the hangover together.

——————-

"Hello. Earth to Cameron." Lila waved her hand in front of my face.

"Sorry." I laughed. "Ship has landed. Uh, yeah, that sounds great."

"One problem though, we're only eighteen." She lifted an eyebrow.

"They don't know that." I smirked and held up an ID that I snatched off of our last target. It was a fake but it looked authentic enough. She smiled and held up an ID that she acquired a few months ago.

"Glad we're on the same page." We mischievous smirked at each other then changed into our new bodies. "Damn Cameron, you look like Anne Hathaway."

I shrugged. "It was a fake." I laughed. "Not complaining though." I looked in the reflection of a shop window and fixed my hair.

"Bar down the street good?" She clicked her tongue.

"Toretto's sounds like the shizzle." I grinned.

"Taxi!" We waved down a cab then drove to the quaint bar.

"I don't even know what to order," she whispered to me.

I laughed quietly. "We'll take two lime margaritas and two tequila shots please." I tapped the table twice then looked at Lila, "I'd say that's a start." She grinned.

"No problem ladies." The bartender winked. We looked at each other and giggled.

"To mah one-thousandth mission with mah best friend!" We clinked our shot glasses and downed them first.

"Jeez that burns." Lila grimaced, gritting her teeth.

"It doesn't tickle that's for sure." I tipped mine back.
