Songbird [An Umbrella Academy Story]

Man on the Moon

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dovie spent the whole night using her powers to locate Klaus. The girl knew how crazy she looked, stopping at random point of her journey to feel the dirty city ground or walls of buildings just to feel a hint of her twins shadow. She didn't care, she'd become the cities crazy lady if it just meant her twin was alright.
Dovie went to all the spots, she could think of, where her brother would frequent, but found nothing. She was getting discouraged, coming to the conclusion that she needs to ask for help.
Walking into her childhood home, the girl made a beeline for the living room. She plopped face first into the couch, exhaustion coming over her sore body. Dovie places a hand on the bare floor, reaching out to feel nobody but Pogo and Grace.
"Where is everyone?..." She mutters, sleepily when she felt something off. The girl sits up, looking above to Grace's painting cove to see the robot nice and still. "Mom?" The girl called out not getting a single response. Concerned she got up and rushed up the stairs, freezing in her tracks at what she found. Grace was slumped over with the wires in her arm cut. The girl covered her mouth, tears fell from her eyes, "Oh mom... who did this to you?" Her mind went to the one person who was the closest to mom, "Diego... he's going to be crushed when he finds out." She leans down kissing her mother's forhead before heading out to find the man who could help her.

Looking up at Fighting Line Boxing she walked in, looking around when a older man walks up to her, "What's a looker like you doing here?" "Hi, I'm Dovie.. I'm looking for Diego. Is he here?" Dovie asked when the man, shrugged, "He might be. You can go check. His place in downstairs." "Thank you." She smiled before heading down there.
Opening the door with a smile, only to have the feeling of disappointed rush over her to see noboy there. The girl lets out a dejected sigh, "Where is he?" As she walked down the stairs and looked around the room.
Getting to his work bench she saw the plethora of knives strung about, everything in particular spot, completely OCD ridden.
This made the girl chuckle, "Typical." Picking up one, she played around with it when she noticed something out of place.. like it doesn'tbelong, but does at the same time.
She set the knife down opting to pick up a photo that was propped up on the side. Propped up enough so anyone could just glance over and see it clearly... The said photo is of her and him a week before he left.
Shaking off the hurt she got a week later, she smiled at the memory of that day.
It was the day Diego kissed her for the first time... they are had an unspoken relationship, but that day made it all real to the girl.
Getting lost in her memories, the girl almost forgot why she was here in the first place. She sets down the photo, cursing, "Shit... I don't have much time." Dovie then went to rack her brain to think on where Diego could be when something caught her eye... a shiny fake police badge. She hesitated before making a rash decision, "Fuck it." Before the girl snatched it up and headed on her way to find her twin.

Dovie can feel herself start to crash so heads to her favorite place to get a recharge. She entered Griddy's doughnut, to see someone in her usual seat. The man looked very familiar... making her decided to a closer look at the person's shadow. 
Dovie took a seat at someone's table who gave her a scared look when she put her finger up to her lip, "Shush.. don't question it. Just drink your coffee."
The people where still concerned, but did as they were told and just went back to there drinks and doughnuts. She slowly leans down, touching the shops floor. Reaching out to feel the mans shadow when a female joined him. And that's when it completely clicked... the masked assholes who kidnapped her brother.
Dovie leans back up and completely blocked out the outside noise and zeroed in on the two people in front of her as the women says, "This is not about a broken contract!" "What?" The man asked as the women continued, "Five, son of a bitch! He's trying to change the timeline." "So we're not only going to kill him." The man says as the women finishes, "We're gonna end the world." The man looks down with new questions swirling through his head when the women says, "Come on, let's get back to what's his name." They got up and threw some money on the counter before turning around to leave. Dovie hid her face as they past before getting up to follow them.
With this new found information, more questions filled her mind,
