The Umbrella Academy, A Tale Of Blasphemy And Destiny

Dead! (PT. 2/2)

Luther stepped through the door, confidence storming through his body. "Pogo." Pogo looked up at Luther and stood up. "Hello Mr Luther." They both shared a handshake. "Long time no see, heh.." Pogo had a small chuckle, and said "I assume you and the others got the letter I sent to you." Luther nodded. "Why don't we have a chat and walk Mr Luther?" "Uh-uh, sure?" Both of them were walking around the main area, the lounge, talking. "Your father, as we know, has sadly moved onto another level in life. The funeral is being held tomorrow and 9:15 A.M to 2:15 P.M. The only.. Minor, inconvenience is that you all have to stay in your old rooms. They have not been touched since you all left in.." Luther put his hand on Pogos shoulder gently and softly. "You don't have to do the maths Pogo." "Yes, Mr Luther."

The collision of the two large front doors slamming together startled Luther and Pogo. Luther immediately knew who it was and rolled his eyes and groaned. "Hey Diego." He said in a monotone, and pessimistic voice. "I'm only here for the funeral and the slight chance that Five might come back." Luther walked over to Diego and said "Fives been gone for 17 years. The chance he'll come back now is less than you having an actually successful relationship."
Diego grunted "Shut your face."
"What're you gonna do if I don't Diego?". Diego went to swing his fist at Luther before Pogo stopped them both. "Boys! You are almost thirty, there's no need for such childish acts!"
"Where's Mom?" Diego asked. "She's upstairs doing her cross-stitches." Pogo replied. Diego stormed upstairs and saw Grace. His eyes lit up and he smirked. "Mom." "Hello Diego." She said in her usual innocent, yet commanding voice. Diego hugged her with Grace hugging him back. "It's been so long Mom!" There was another thud from the front doors, quieter this time. "COMO ESTAS B__CHES!" Said a very familiar voice. "Klaus!" Vanya giggled as she pretended to be annoyed. "Oh, hey Vanya." Luther said. Diego looked over to her, and walked down the stairs. "Where'd you find Klaus?"
Vanya looked at Diego and said "Found him on the street. He seemed pretty nervous"
"Diego, Diego, Vanya saved me from a date that I was supposed to have. It sort of went like I was supposed to hook up with this chick, but I got pretty nervous, so I took some Xanax, and now I feel like the living embodiment of the Wild Card from Uno, it's amazing!" Diego sighed and held Klaus's cheeks. "Dude, you need to get sober." Klaus smiled. Diego stood back and crossed his arms.

Allison stepped through the door, and smiled at all of them. "So sorry I'm late."
"The funeral is Tomorrow, Mrs. Allison. We're all sleeping in our respective rooms."
All of them groaned except for Vanya. "I can just stay at my apartment."
"Show off." Grumbled Luther. Vanya looked at Luther and mouthed "why?"
"You may stay at your own home for as long as we're here Vanya. But you'll have to come and meet us when the sun rises and then you leave when it sets. Vanya said "Okay."

They all went to their bedrooms.
