The siblings turned around to see a familiar face and all sighed in relief.
It was Five! But why did he look a little smaller and younger than how he was supposed to be? And why was his voice a little higher too? There was definitely something off about Five. But regardless, the siblings were happy to see their brother all safe and well.

"Oh my gosh Fivey, u scared us! We were so worried about you buddy! Oh come here" Klaus said, approaching the boy for a hug.

But weirdly enough, Five backed away, scrunching his face with a slight tinge of confusion and... Wait was that fear?
"I'm sorry but....D..do I know you?", he asked.
This stopped Klaus in his tracks, shocking him and the rest of the umbrellas greatly. What had happened? Was this the cost of sending them back to 2019? Had the time traveling somehow messed up his mind? (And his memories for that matter?) But all the other times were completely fine, so why only now?

"Of course you do Five, we're your siblings, don't you remember ?" Vanya asked, slightly hopeful.
Five rolled his eyes. "And why should I believe you morons? That's total bullshit. I am sure I have never seen any of you in my whole life before. " It was clear that he was starting to get a little annoyed at them.
The umbrellas looked down, hurt.

" Oh I see where this is going...(scoffs)Do you all really think I'll be so stupid as to believe this kind of manipulation? "
" No you don't understand Five, we're really telling the truth. We would never..."
" Oh just cut the crap and tell me what business you lot have in my best friend's house OK? Afterall, I don't remember her mentioning having any kinds of visitors today."Five cut in before Allison could finish her sentence.

Now it was their turn to be confused. What was he talking about? His best friend's house? That was impossible. This was most certainly their house, wasn't it?

"That's because we're not visitors, this is our house. We live here." insisted Luther.

Five narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "No it isn't. This is my best friend's house and all of you are clearly trespassing on private property. So you'll better get going or else I'll...."
"Five! There you were! You were gone for so long I was so worried. Didn't I tell you not to wonder off by yourself? You could have been hurt you know?!" came an unfamiliar voice.
Just at that moment, a young girl, about maybe 13 or 14 appeared. She had beautiful dark skin, bright brown eyes and a messy overflowing bun of dark brown hair. So this was the owner of the voice. She wore a blazer similar to that of Five, with the Umbrella Academy symbol too.

But who was she? The umbrellas could have sworn they had never seen her before

But who was she? The umbrellas could have sworn they had never seen her before. Then it occurred to them. She was the girl from the picture.
Five rolled his eyes and nudged the girl in annoyance, then whispered something in her ear. Afterwhich the girl turned to face them,looking embarrassed and flustered until her eyes started to glint at something.

"Mom?"
