They all left, and I went upstairs. Jayme followed behind me. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked. "Yes, are you?" I replied. "Yeah, I just got really scared when you stopped breathing." Jayme sighs. "I could tell, never seen you look scared before that, though."Well, you are my best friend. I couldn't imagine anything bad happening to you." Jayme Smiled. Jayme is soft when it comes to me. She seems tough like she could hurt you, but when she and I met, I already knew that we were going to become really good friends. She left me alone as I started to walk towards my room.



Later on, we were all running on the treadmills. "Big one is strong but slow, possibly stupid. Some sort of... simian hybrid" Ben Said. "Who took the little jumpy guy?" Sloane Asks. "Me. I just gave him a spanking and sent him to school." Jayme Smiles. I felt bad for him, but I still laughed. "Hey-oh!" Alphonso Replies.

"The skinny one is their weak link. Unless hiding behind couches shouting, 'Where's my daddy?' Is he his superpower? ( treadmill chimes ) Enough post-gaming. They disrespected us, Marcus. We need to be out there finding these freaks and taking 'em out." Ben says. "Oh, you mean like this?" Marcus shows the clip of all of us getting thrown back by the weirdo.

"Can someone explain how you got your asses handed to you in 30 seconds? Do you have any idea what would happen to our reputation if anyone had seen that? I mean, we haven't faced decent enemies for years. This could be good for us. Good for business. But only if we're smart with our next move." Marcus Shouts. "You summoned, Number One?" Father Said. "Sit. You spent time with these people. What's your assessment?" Marcus asked. "Unimpressive. Neanderthals on a day pass. He cried too much and showered too little. The only thing they lacked more than grit was any regard for one another." Father Replies. "No loyalty. We can use that." Ben says. "Good. Give a full report to Christopher."

"Still, I wouldn't underestimate the Umbrella Academy. Yes, their skills are as lacking as their hygiene, yet somehow, they saved the world in 1963. Had they not, none of you would be standing here now. Perhaps I misjudged them." Father Sighs

"Yes, yes. I'm going." Father spoke once again before leaving.

Sometimes, when I am bored, I go and see a worker and his dog in the hotel Obsidian. So that is what I decided to do. I got dressed and told nobody where I was headed. Once I got there, the man wasn't working; he was just looking at people who were sitting down. "Hello again," I said to the man as I petted his dog. "It's nice to see you again. How are things?" He asked. "Not bad. What about you?"Well, today, a group came in today, and not one of them had any change on them. So a very large man had to give me his expensive watch to get rooms." He says. "Are you going to wear it?" I asked. "I think it is better if I sell it, Valerie." He Responds. "Oh, okay, well, I gotta go and use the bathroom for a second," I said as I left him and the dog on their own.

When I was walking up the stairs, I had a stranger feeling that I was being followed. I turned around, and nobody was there. But when I opened the door to the bathroom, The guy with long hair and knives was there. "Shit," I muttered. "You don't remember us? And you are a part of the Sparrows" He said. "You are very annoying, now move I need to use the bathroom," I replied. "You know. Five is worried about you. So you need to talk to him, " the man said as he grabbed my arm. "Hey, let me go, you freak," I yelled. "I miss the old Valerie," He whispered. "I heard that you idiot," I said as I quickly picked up one of his knives, which caused him to let go. I pointed the knife at him as he started to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" I asked. He wasn't looking at me. He was looking behind me. It was the boy. "Diego, I can't do it." As he said, I looked back at Diego and realised that something was about to happen. But the next thing that I felt was stinging on my cheek. And then it was dark.

I woke up in one of the rooms in the hotel; it was the boys. He was sitting on a chair reading something. I sat up and pressed my hand against my cheek. "Valerie, you finally woken up," He said. He sat on the bed, and I moved back further away from him. "You don't remember anything, the apocalypse, 1963, or me?" He says. "No," I replied. He looked down at his hands and then back at me. "I do want to thank you for saving me back at the Academy, though. But why am I here?"It's not the first time that I have saved you Valerie, and you are here because I want to make you remember me, the Umbrella Academy, your real family." He Sighs.

"And how would you do that, pray to tell?"I am going to do the things that we used to do; it could help you." He says. I watched as his eyes were on me, then my lips, and then a necklace that I was wearing. "I got you that!" He said. "I was wearing it when Father found me, never taken it off," I responded. "Valerie, you dont remember the apocalypse?" He replies. "Apocalypse?" I responded. "You and I were stuck there for more than 40 years. I was trying to travel time, and you followed me. But unfortunately, I went too far and couldn't go back. The buildings were burnt to the ground, our family was stuck under piles of bricks, and you were able to find dresses. Hod knows how you found them, but you did."

"That's awful," I said. "Come with me," He said. He grabbed my hand and took me outside of the hotel. He walked into a store and led me to an aisle full of dresses. He was looking, maybe for the one that I wore, but I just looked around. As I was looking, I found a glorious red one. As I went to grab it, my head started to hurt. I held onto my head not knowing what to do, but when I looked back at Five, I remembered. I remember something that I did.

Memory
Five and I were walking. It was very quite for a while until five suggested that we look under some bricks to see if we could any food, drinks, or even clothes for us. But I did find something; it was a dress. I moved the bricks away from it and picked it up. I removed the dust off of it and showed it to Five. "Hey Five, look at this!" As I showed him the dress he Smirked at me. "Well, atleast you actually found something that you like and that I would love to see you in" He said. He then continued to look under bricks ad I placed my new dress in a bag that we also found. We didn't find anything else, the rest of the things thta we picked up were burnt and not wearable at all. I hate the apocalypse!

"Shit" I said as Five turned to look at me. "What's the matter?" He asked. "This is it, the dress that I found in the apocalypse!" "Oh my god, how did you know?" "I touched the dress and it was like a memory or something came back to me"
