Luther had a sparrow jacket on as him and Sloane was in the gym running next to each other on a treadmill each.

"This place is incredible!" he said with a smile "We had the old lounge taken out and had this put in" Sloane said as she smiled "You know, I thought the home theater and the Zen garden were impressive, but this is just next-level" he said before they both turned off the treadmills.

"You know, I always wanted the Umbrella Academy to be like this" he said as he walk off the treadmill "You guys actually do stuff together!" he said "You don't?" she asked as they both walked over to a small table where some water, glasses and white rags were.

"Uh...Nah, no really" he said as they both took a glass before they filled it with water.

"So, our brother died when we were kids. Number Six. Our Ben" he said "Oh, I'm so sorry" she said as she was holding her glass while looking at him.

"Yeah, and after that, nobody really gave a shit. Everyone had their own agenda, and it's like pulling teeth to get anybody to actually care" he said as they walked over to the large white table.

"And then, I guess after a while, I stopped caring myself" he said as they sat down on the same side in front of each other and Sloane took a sip of her water.

"You know, about training, the missions..." he said and she nodded as she put down her glass on the table "About...being Number One" he said before he scoffs "You're not what I was expecting" she said with a smile "I'm not?" he asked confused "No" she said with a smile as she shook her head "You're actually really sweet" she said and Luther let out a soft exhale before a smile appeared on his face.

Sloane looked up at the camera to see it moved to the right, filming the other side of the gym, so she leaned forward towards Luther a bit "If I could, I'd get out of here in a heartbeat" she said and he leaned towards her too "Why can't you?" he asked.

"This house, it's all I've ever know my entire life. And I know there are better places out there in the world, and one day, I want to see them all" she said with a smile "Then why don't you just go?" he asked "Why don't you?" she asked "Fair point" he said with a nod.

"You know, I, uh...I spent a little time on the moon" he said with a shy smile, like he was nervous of what she would say.

"What? This is so cool!" she said with a smile and in voice like she actually think it was cool causing Luther's eyes to widened "You think so?" he asked "Yeah! The moon?" she said "My God. No one ever thinks that's cool" he said "Yes!" she said as they both let out a laugh.

"The moon, yeah!" he said with a big smile on his face. Sloane was the first one he have ever met who actually think that it was cool.

Sloane then noticed the camera turning back to film them, so her face quickly changed into a seriously look.
