It felt very strange to look young again. I'm actually 58, but let me tell you my story. I am apart of the Sparrow Academy, I joined this year. My Father Sir Reginald Hargreeves found me alone in the streets, I have lost my entire memory and he took me in when he realised who I was. He said that we have met before and he was very interested in my powers. But he also mention something about a group with Umbrella's which is werid.

Suddenly an alarm went off causing all of us to leave our rooms. I saw that everyone was looking over the balcony at something but had no idea until I stood next to Sloane. There were seven people downstairs staring right at us.

"This isn't your home" Father said. "What are you talking about? This is the Umbrella Academy" A women replied. "Wrong again. This... is the Sparrow Academy." Father spoke once again "Dad, who the hell are these assholes?" Ben Says. "Shit"

"Ben. Is that really you?" One if them said. "And who are the weirdos on the balcony" "They are the Sparrows. My children." "I'm sorry. What do you mean, your children? That's not possible, old man." "Well it obviously is isnt it little boy" I said as every single one if the strangers eyes widened. "Valerie?" The little one said. "Excuse me?" I replied. How does he know my name. "Everybody else can see Ben aswell, right?" "Cute hat, Sundance." Ben Smirked. "They call themselves the Umbrella Academy, a group of scheming, perfidious malcontents who accosted me in the fall of 1963 when I was away on business in Dallas. Be warned, they claim to be my spawn." Father Sighs.

"Claim? Look, Five, what the hell is going on?" The women spoke again. "I don't know yet, but it's concerning." Is he telling the truth?" Marcus Says "Not the part about us being perfidious." Another person Said. "No, we're amateur-fidious, at best. But we are his children. This is our house." "Yeah, yeah. We, uh... We grew up here" A muscler looking man says. "I kind of think we would have noticed you." Sloane Responded. "Hi. I'm Luther." He said. "Okay. None of you belong here." "Oh! Well, then. I guess we'll just pack our bags and move out." Fei Chuckles.

( Sparrows chuckling )

"You slay me, Chris." Ben smiles. "I wasn't expecting company. ( sighs ) This is the best I could do on short-- ( in robotic voice ) Short... Short notice." Grace Said. "Mom" Did he just call her mom? "Mom? She's a robot, you perv." Jayme Says. "It's not a robot." The man with long hair Said. "Hey, don't you call him that." "Or what?" "Come closer and find out." "Luther!" "Guys, chill!" "Think I'm afraid?" "Stand down, Ben." "Jesus" "Look at that! She's got a voice!" "How about I hide that big Rubik's Cube up your ass?" "Enough!"

I witnessed as Jayme used her powers on one of the strangers. I was very proud and didn't even noticed that he was staring at me I knuckled my fist and placed my chin ontop of it and smiled again as he then turned to look back at Jayme who blew him a kiss. "I don't know what circus you escaped from or how you got past our security, but we're done here. You got 30 seconds to get out of our house." Marcus spoke up. "And if we don't?" "Then we'll have to settle this the old-fashioned way."

"Look, we just fought a literal army. Okay? This doesn't need to get ugly. Let's all just calm down, and let's talk." One of them Says. "Psst. Ben-er-ino. You look so much better alive than you do dead. Am I right? Except that haircut." The funny one said. What the hell did you just say?" "Come on, come on. Stop with all the hostility, Mr. Grumpy Pants. Oh wow. Nice scar. Muy macho." "Shut your mouth!" "You shut your mouth and just hug your brother--" Ben punches him before he could finish his sentence.

"Hey! What the hell? You didn't have to do that!" "Oh, I'm pretty sure I did!" Ben yelled back "He did." "Get back!" "Luther, hey!" "Back off!"

A fight starts to brake out but I was still wondering how the little one knows my name. I walked up to Sloane and Alphonso and saw that they were watching Jayme fight one of the weridos that came in our home. "I don't wanna fight you" "Aw did you want be bestfriends" Jayme replied as She finished them off and walked over to us. "Well done Jayme" I said. "Thanks Valerie" She says as she and I high five. I was watching as the person Jayme fought got up off of the floor and Sloane walked up to them. But I felt my arm being dragged away and becoming face to face with the boy who knew my name.

"Valerie, Oh I thought you were gone" He said as he tried to go in for a hug. I punched him in the face and tripped him up and he looked at me with confusion in his eyes. "Valerie?" He said. "Who the hell are you, how do you know my name little boy" I replied. "Valerie I'm your age, what happened to you?" He responded as he stood up infront of me. "Your not my age. I'm 58 you dick" I did try to hit him again but he saw it coming and held onto my arm. "So am I. And I'll ask again, what happend to you. Or are you like ben." He replies as he looks me in the eyes" "I suffered a memory loss" As the words left my mouth his eyes widened. Ben started to look at me wondering why I am not fighting, so I had to do something. "Now let go of me" I hit him in the stomach, back handed him in the face and then I walked over to ben. "Why are you talking to him?" Ben asks. "Nothing Ben, let's just keep fighting.

After a while I saw one of the strangers upstairs and decided to go up to her. "Hey!" I yelled as she quickly turned around. "Valerie?" She said. I had no time for chit chat and roundhouse kicked her in the face. She got up and wiped some blood from her nose and tried to hit me back. But I was lucky enough dodge it but not very lucky as she put her hand around my neck and said some werid words. "I heard a rumour you couldn't breath" All of sudden I was out of breath, I had to watch as she Smirked at me and ran down the stairs. I was holding onto the the railings for support but it was no use. With no warning I fell the the floor, I was holding onto my throat scared that I might die. But Jayme noticed as she was in the middle of fighting the boy who I was talking to me earlier.

"Valerie" She yelled. She put her hands over her mouth but the boy looked at me and noticed what the bitch had done. He ran over and immediately started to give me CPR. I didn't think it would work. But it did, very slow though. Once I got my breath back I sat up and just kept breathing in and out until I was able to say a word. I looked over to where he was to thank him, but he was gone. Jayme was there instead. "Jayme? Where'd he go?" I asked. "He's on the floor, go downstairs. I have to finish him off." I felt really bad but I listened to her and went downstairs. I'll have to thank him if I ever see him again.

I walked into the main room and saw the werido that Jayme had a fight with earlier up in the air getting thrown around by Sloane. She dropped her to the floor and at the same time the boy fell down the stairs. Jayme, Sloane and the rest of us Sparrows gathered around the werido. But none of us expected to get thrown back very far away from them. I landed on the table and then fell to the floor. We all got up and Marcus yelled "It's over. Go. Don't come back."
