Partners in crime| F. Hargreeves (3) (Book 3)

1. The Sparrow Academy

"Sometimes you have to move on without certain people, if they're meant to be in your life, they'll catch up"

---

On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 16 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only on the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began.

Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible. He got seven of them and called them The Sparrow Academy and he turned them into being crime-fighters.

The Sparrow Academy was one of the finest crime fighting forces in the city. What made them such a good team was their communication skills and working together, no one could defeat them and they became famous.

Number One/Marcus Hargreeves/The leader:

Marcus' powers are Superhuman strength.

Marcus is a charming, chiseled, colossus. Honest, virtuous, and demanding, Marcus keeps the family together. Graceful but lethal, calculated but compassionate, he is smart and he is strong. Marcus is disciplined, rational and in control. He oozes confidence and leadership without ever having to raise his voice.

Marcus is the leader of the Sparrows who keeps the family in cheek.

Number Two/ Ben Hargreeves/The Schemer:

Ben has the ability to summon Eldritch Tentacles from a portal in his abdomen. The tentacles are extremely strong, meaning he's able to grab, stab, squeeze, and destroy his enemies.

Ben is a Machiavellian tactician, wrapped up in a pretty boy body with a rumbling inner-squid. Vicious, pragmatic, and hyper-vigilant. Ben is determined to gain his status as the leader at all cost.

Ben always wanted to be included and a lot, he always wanted a fight, contrary to Marcus who always wanted to talk things out first.

He try to show people that he can be a leader too. He actually got the chance of being a leader but under his order something went wrong and Ben became number two and Marcus became number one and took the role as the leader of the sparrow.

Ben always try to act like a leader by trying to control people and he is jealous of Marcus because he is the leader of the family.

Ben and Jane used to be very close when they were young and they started dating at 22 but after two years, Jane broke up with Ben and after that he started acting more of an asshole to her and everyone else.

Now Ben and Jane aren't that close anymore, they don't speak nicely to each other and they fight often, and sometimes they can't be in a room together without Ben acting like an asshole causing them to get into a fight.

Even so Ben is still in love with Jane, she only see him as a friend and a brother now.

Number Three/Fei Hargreeves/The Sharp Eyed:

Fei sees the world in a special way.

Her ability are that she can summon crows out of her back and is able to control them, since she is blind, the crows act as her eyes and ears, and she sees everything they do, no matter where they are, that mean that she can use her crows to spy on people as well as use them to attack other.

Fei doesn't ask for help, but can be tough when she need to.

She comes across as a misanthrope who rather be alone than spend even a second with you. But truth be told, Fei wishes she had a friend. Most of the time, Fei is the smartest person in the room who is willing to negotiate but can hold a grudge.
