Claire always knew she was different from other kids. Right from when she was born. Maybe it was because her mother was Allison Hargreeves, a member of the umbrella academy. Or maybe it was because she also had powers passed on from her mother. (The powers of invisibility and the creation of force fields. *) Claire always viewed her powers as gifts rather than a curse and were largely grateful for them.(Or as her mom had shown her). Her mother was always her role model and she sworn to become just like her when she grew older, maybe even to fight alongside her too. But of course Claire couldn't control her powers over night. So, her mother would train her every night until she got better and better...

======Six year old Claire's POV==========
"Alright that's enough for tonight Claire, come on let's get you to bed now sweetie." Mom said after a good 2 hours training.

"But Mmmoommmm.... I'm not tired yet! Let's continue pretty please..." I whined.
"No Claire, you have school tomorrow remember?"
"Awwwww...But could u at least tell me a bed time story before I sleep then? Pretty please Moommmm?", I whined.

"OK, so do you want this one or this one?", Mom patiently asked holding up one book and then another.
"I want to listen to the time the Umbrella Academy defeated the Effiel tower" replied. I had always loved those stories the best. The ones involving the Umbrella Academy. They had always inspired me. Imagine fighting alongside Mom and my Uncles and Aunty, *sigh* that would surely be a large dream come through...

"Again? Didn't I just tell you that story yesterday sweetie?"
"Yes Mom I know. But I like the story so I want to listen to it again"
My mom let out a tired smile. "Very well then."

"OK Claire it's getting late, you should sleep now" "No, I want one more!" "Claire

"OK Claire it's getting late, you should sleep now"
"No, I want one more!"
"Claire." It sounded like Mom was starting to get a little annoyed....
"But I'm not tired Mom "
"Claire."
"Preetty please Mom?"
"CLAIRE."
After that, I'm not exactly sure what happened but I suddenly felt really tired and after saying good night to Mom, I immediately fell into deep sleep.
The next morning I awoke, Mom was gone! 'Well she' s probably just at work or sth, she'll come back soon. I'm sure of it! 'I thought.
But when I came back from school later that day, she was still nowhere to be found. But I didn't think that much of it and so I waited...
But later that night, she still hadn't shown up. It was then that I was starting to get a little worried about her.
Suddenly the door bell rang :What if it was Mom?!

It was Dad and he looked like something had gotten bad, really bad.
"Dad, W..what's going on?Where did mom go?" I ask, starting to cry.
Dad shook his head.
"I'm sorry Claire, but your mom's gone. She was supposed to show up for lunch with me today but she just never showed. I'm afraid something must have happened to her..."He said,looking down.
" Gone where? "I asked, frantic.
" I don't know sweetheart, I don't know."
