**Author's POV**

Five and Irina finally arrive at the safe house, a place that has been both a refuge and a base of operations for his family. As they approach, Five is a bundle of nerves and excitement. He opens the door and steps inside, with Irina following closely behind.

The moment they walk in, Five's siblings—Diego, Klaus, Allison, Luther, Viktor, and Ben, are gathered in the main room, chatting and lounging. Klaus is sprawled on the couch drinking while Luther and Diego are in a heated discussion about something on TV. Viktor is quietly playing the piano in the corner, and Allison is on the phone. Ben is nearby Klaus, seemingly lost in thought.

Five clears his throat, drawing their attention. "Hey, everyone. I'd like you all to meet Irina. She's the girl I mentioned—the one I saw in the alley."

The room falls silent for a moment, and all eyes turn to Irina.

Diego raises an eyebrow. "Oh, so this is her?"

Luther chuckles. "The girl from the alley, huh? This should be interesting."

Klaus grins, still looking at the book. "So, you're the one who caught Five's interest. Welcome."

Allison finishes her call and smiles warmly. "Nice to meet you, Irina. I'm Allison."

Irina returns the smile. "Nice to meet you too."

As the introductions continue, Viktor finishes his piece and walks over. "Hi, I'm Viktor."

Irina nods. "Hi, Viktor."

Klaus then gestures to Ben. "And this is Ben. He's our ghostly brother."

Irina looks around, puzzled. "I don't see anyone."

Klaus chuckles and nods toward the empty space. "That's because Ben is a ghost. Can't see him unless you're like me."

Ben, who is still nearby, gives a friendly wave. "Hey, Irina. Don't worry, Klaus doesn't bite."

Irina's eyes widen slightly. "A ghost? That's... interesting. My best friend, Bonnie, can see and communicate with the dead too."

Klaus's face lights up. "Really? That's quite a coincidence. Seems like you and Ben might have a lot to talk about."

Ben nods enthusiastically. "I'd love to chat with her sometime."

With everyone introduced, Five decides it's time to show off their powers. "Alright, let's give Irina a quick tour of what we can do. Who wants to go first?"

Luther stands up and flexes his muscles. "I'm really
strong, Watch this." He picks up a heavy object with ease, demonstrating his power.

Irina looks impressed. "That's pretty amazing."

Next, Diego steps up. "I can throw knives with perfect accuracy. It's all about precision." He throws a knife at a target on the wall, hitting the bullseye.

Irina nods. "Seems like a useful skill."

Klaus, with his usual dramatic flair, decides to showcase his powers next. "And I can communicate with the dead. Not exactly a party trick, but it comes in handy." He gestures to a corner where Ben appears briefly, startling Irina.

Irina's eyes widen. "Wow. That's... definitely unique."

Allison steps forward. "I have the power to influence people's thoughts. I can make them do or believe anything I want. It's kind of like compelling, but more direct."

Irina looks intrigued. "That's similar to my own abilities. I can compel people too, though my version is a bit different."

Finally, Viktor takes his turn. "And I can manipulate sound waves. It can be quite powerful when I focus." He demonstrates by creating a small vibration in the air, causing objects to move slightly.

Irina watches, fascinated. "That's incredible."

As they sit down together, Five explains their family dynamic. "We all got these tattoos—umbrellas on our arms—except for Viktor, Kinda a long story. It's a symbol of our connection and the unique abilities we each have."

The group bonds over their shared experiences and stories, exchanging laughs, Five's siblings, including Ben, quickly warm up to Irina, finding her curiosity and insights about their powers refreshing. The atmosphere becomes relaxed and friendly as they continue to get to know each other better.

By the end of the evening, it's clear that Irina has fit right in with Five's family. Despite the initial nerves, the introductions go smoothly, It's a night of laughter, shared stories, and newfound connections.
