The sound of a woman humming gently was heard as Luther slowly opened his eyes and he could feel someone dipping a rag on his forehead.

"Mom?" he asked as he opened his eyes "Why do people keep calling me that?" Grace asked and Luther let out a groan "Where am I?" he asked "The Academy, silly. Everybody's waiting for you" Grace said "The Academy?" Luther asked confused before he sat up.

He then heard indistinct chatter in the background and the sound of a blender whirring from another room.

Luther grabbed a broom before he walked out of the room and into the gym, ready for fight.

He saw Sloane standing by the blender while Ben, Jayme, Chris, Fei and Alphonso was sitting by a long white table, eating as playful string music was playing in the background.

"Ah, there he is" Alphonso said as he looked at Luther.

Sloane turned her head to look at him as the blender stop whirring "Please, join us" Fei said.

"It's okay. Nobody's gonna hurt you" Ben said "Smoothie?" Sloane asked with a smile as she hold a smoothie out to Luther "Oh" he said as he looked at her with smile "Yeah, thanks" he said as he lowered the broom before he let out a chuckled as he grabbed the smoothie while Sloane took the broom.

"You must be starving" Fei said "Oh, uh..." Luther said as he walked over to the table while Sloane sat down "No, I...I probably shouldn't" he said before he spotted something on the table "Is that cashew butter?" he asked "Cashew butter, almond butter, sunflower butter, tahini, Brazil nut" Sloane said "Wow. You know what? Now that you mention it, I am feeling a little bit, uh, peckish, actually" Luther said "Help yourself" Alphonso said as him, Jayme and Fei was sitting on one side of the table while Ben, Sloane and Chris was sitting on the other side.

"Thanks" Luther said and went over to a sit that was across from Ben and between Fei and Alphonso.

Luther took a sip of the green smoothie "Wow" he said softly, surprise in how good it tasted.

He put the smoothie on the table and he sat down before he started grabbing some food.

Sloane smiled at him as he smiled nervously while he glanced at them.

"So, we know you're Number One, but we haven't been formally introduced yet. I'm Ben, Number Two" Ben said "It is so good to see you again, buddy" Luther said before he chuckled.

"Why does everyone keep looking at me like that?" Ben asked as he glanced at his siblings.

"Because you've been dead for 15 years" Luther answered as he looked at him and Ben raise a brow as he looked back at him "'Dead?' What do you mean, dead?" he asked and the others glanced at Luther.
