" Dad who the hell are these assholes?"

" Shit..." 
The entirety of the Umbrella Academy says at once and we all just look at Ben.

" Ben."

" Is that really you?"

" And who are the weirdos on the balcony !?"

" Oh for fuck's sake Diego!" I push him mad at his manners and look up, and then it hits me. 

" Oh, my god..."

" They are the  Sparrows. My children." 

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

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

" Besides that... Where am I? Did you really mess up with me again making me quit?" I sigh and cross my arms. 

" You?! I never adopted you!"

" What are you talking about? In 2005--"

" Everyone else can see Ben, right?"

" Cute hat, Sundance."

" They call themselves the Umbrella Academy, a group of scheming, perfidious malcontents who accosted me in the fall of 1964 when I was away on business in Dallas. Be warned, the claim to be my spawn."

" Claim? Look, Five, what the hell is going on?" 

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

" Yeah, no shit."
A sparrow chuckles and I look up ready to insult the life out of him when I recognize him. 

" Holy shit. James?!"

" You know her?" A tall man asks. 

" No, how do you know my name?" 

" What do you mean how do I know your name? I- you really don't remember me?"

" Nope, not really lady."

" Lady?! Ah- Okay, you know what no, no, I'm not doing this right here. Act like you haven't known me for the literally nine years." 

" Is he telling the truth?"

" Not the part about us being perfidious."

" Yeah, greedy little fucker! If it weren't for us, you'd be dead alongside with everyone with a nuke up your ass." I yell at dad. 

" No, we're amateur-fidious, at best."

" But we are his children, this is our house."

" Yeah, yeah. We uh... we grew up here." 

" Yeah yeah we grew up here." A weird looking guy makes fun of Luther, and if it was any other time I'd have laughed. 

" I kinda think we would have noticed you." A beautiful woman tells Luther making him immediately change attitudes smiling at her. 

" Hi, I'm Luther." 

" Oh god. No.. No.." I stuff my face in Diego's chest and before he gets to put his hand on my head I start lightly hitting my forehead against him. 

" Okay. None of you belong here."

" Oh! Well then. I guess we'll just pack our bags and move out."
The box next to the woman makes a weird noise and the Sparrows laugh. 

" You slay me, Chris." 

" Okay, how does that even work, who gave birth to a floating fucking cube?!" I raise my voice and step closer to them but Diego holds me back.
