SEASON ONE: We only see each other at weddings and funerals

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟ ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟﾟ ⋆

New York, 2019.

In the depths of the Hargreeves mansion, behind heavy iron gates and down a long, dimly lit corridor, lies a hidden hall. This secret chamber, shrouded in mystery, has remained untouched for 14 years. Within its confines, Mikayla 'Mika' Hargreeves rests, encased in a timeless slumber. Monitors and IV drips surround her, maintaining her fragile existence.

Suddenly, in the courtyard of the mansion, the air crackles with intense energy as Five Hargreeves bursts through a temporal portal, returning from the future. The portal's collapse sends a powerful ripple through space-time, a shockwave that races towards the mansion, threading through its walls and corridors until it reaches the secluded hall where Mika lies.

The energy surge from the portal interacts with Mika's dormant siren abilities, stirring them from their long sleep. Her body begins to tremble, her heart monitor spikes, and a faint hum fills the room—a fragment of the siren song she never finished in her final battle. Years ago, she had been cursed, struck down just as she was about to unleash her full power, leaving her in a coma with her abilities trapped inside her.

As the ripple of temporal energy collides with the remnants of her unfinished song, the curse weakens but does not break. The lights in the hall flicker wildly, and the iron gates groan as if under immense pressure. Mika's fingers twitch, her eyelids flutter. Her song, once a powerful weapon and now a beacon of her curse, vibrates through the air, gaining strength.

Her body jerks as if hit by an electric shock. Her eyes snap open, glowing with an otherworldly light. The melody of her siren song, unfinished for so long, bursts forth, filling the hall with a haunting, beautiful resonance. The iron gates, weakened by the surge, creak but remain closed.

Mika gasps for breath, her eyes wide with the shock of sudden consciousness. She sits up, her mind a storm of fragmented memories and the overwhelming sensation of her powers reawakening. The curse that had kept her imprisoned within her own body holds fast, though it now strains under the pressure of her awakening powers and the temporal energy.

She steps down from the bed, her bare feet touching the cold floor. The energy that brought her back pulses through her veins, blending with the raw, untamed power of her siren song. She looks around the hall, seeing it with new eyes—no longer a prison, but a place where she must find a way to break free completely.

Mika takes a deep breath, feeling the strength of her siren abilities coursing through her, yet sensing the lingering shackles of the curse. The curse is weakened, and with it, she has partially awakened. She moves towards the iron gates, placing her hands on them. They groan under her touch but do not fully yield.

"Does anyone else see little Number Five, or is it just me?" Klaus asked as the boy they were all looking at stood up. Five, who now stood up and looked around his surroundings and glanced at his hands.

"Shit."

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed from inside the house, one of the windows seen from the courtyard was glowing an eerie blue, a song can be heard from that same window.

Number Six, Ben Hargreeves, who was standing next to Klaus in his ghostly form, pointed at the window and called out to Klaus. "Klaus! Isn't that the room where Mika was kept in?" Shocked at the information, Klaus hurriedly turned to Ben and in a hushed voice he said, "How do you know that?"

"C'mon, let's go check it out." Luther said, Five blinked inside the mansion, walking to find out what that noise was.

Countless thoughts were running through Five's mind. 'Where is she? Why wasn't she with the others?' Shaking off the thoughts in his head, he stopped.

Five stopped in front of a darkened hall, there was a gate blocking the entrance, a dull blue light was slowly approaching him and the gate. Vanya, who was closely following Five, squinted her eyes in an attempt to catch a glimpse of what was in the dark.

"Mika? Is that really you?" Luther stood behind them, eyes wide in shock at his sister.

As Mika stands before the gates separating her and the way to reunite with her siblings, the echoes of Five's temporal journey resonate within her. She knows that her awakening is only the beginning. The curse still binds her, and her song remains unfinished. But she is no longer the girl who was struck down 14 years ago. She is a siren reborn, determined to break the curse and reclaim her power in a world that has moved on without her.

"How long was I gone?" Mika asked in a soft voice, the same melodic voice that they've all been dying to hear. "Fourteen years." Diego whispered as he slowly approached the gate. "You've been gonefor fourteen years."

Five was silent, his eyes contained some sort of emotion that even he couldn't comprehend what it is. Was it longing? Was it sadness? Was it fear? We'll never know.

Mika's mind raced, but she struggled to grasp the full impact of the years lost. "And Ben? What happened to him?"

Luther's face darkened with sadness, but he shook his head. "It's hard to say. The day was chaotic. None of us remember the specifics clearly."

Mika, who was still behind the gate, looked at each of her siblings, her eyes finally landed on someone she waited for so long. Her eyes widened when she realized that Five was in front of her. The last time she saw the boy was when he was thirteen, but now, he looks a bit aged up (maybe around seventeen), taller, and more handsome.

"Five? Is... is that you?" Disbelief could be heard evidently in her voice, Mika dropped down onto her knees due to the shock, clutching the bars of the gate separating them.

"I—— how? You've been gone for so long. How?" She lowered her head as tears threatened to fall down her face. Defeated, she begged her siblings,

"Please, someone, get me out of here."
