Birds of a feather

Epilogue:
On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

He got 8

"Come on guys, we got a new mission!" Luther Hargreeves announced as he stepped out of his room wearing a black and yellow combat suit with a black domino mask

"Nice work Diego," Luther said, noticing that his brother was already dressed.

"I'm always in gear," Diego remarked, flipping one of his signature knives in his hand.

"Alphonso, get Klaus out of the bathtub," Luther ordered as he watched from outside the bathroom.

"Can't you guys just go without me," Klaus mumbled, as Alphonso dragged him out of the tub.

"Fei, where's Alex?" Luther asked as his sister ran down the stairs to join them

"He's almost ready,"

"Phil, you got your lighter?" The leader asked and Phil reached into his pocket, pulling out his lighter and igniting it.

"Does that answer your question, fearless leader," Phil said sarcastically and Luther scoffed. Just then, someone else jogged down the stairs.

"Alright, were all here," Luther said, counting his siblings,

"Not all of us," Alex remarked, darkening the mood between the young heroes.

"We can't think about that right now. Come one, Pogo is waiting for us in the plane," Luther said, leading his sibling to the secret hangar in the Hargreeves mansion.

"Good work out there Alex. The kids always seem to get the concept faster when you're teaching them,"

"Yeah, thanks Stacy. See you tomorrow?" Alex responded as he packed his belongings into his backpack.

"There's no school tomorrow, didn't you get the memo?" Stacy said, leading Alex out of his class room.

"Oh yeah right. See you next week then," Alex said, opening the door and the two went their separate ways.

As Alex walked off campus, he pulled his hood up and kept his head down to avoid being recognized. The short walk to his apartment was relatively uneventful, however as Alex reached his door and rummaged around in his pockets, he realised that he had forgotten to take his keys in the morning. He let out a sigh and pulled his hood down. After taking in a deep breath, he closed his fists and his body began to tremble. Almost as if he were a ghost, he walked straight through his front door and his body returned to normal. When he looked to the left of the door, he saw his keys hanging on the rack but beside them was something else. A spare set of keys that only one person had.

"Fee, I know you're here," Alex said loudly as a crow flew across his living room and landed on one of his shelves.

"Where were you, I've been here for like an hour," Fei Hargreeves said as she walked out of Alex's room with something in her hands and a crow on her shoulder.

"This is really good, did one of your students make this?' Fei asked as she admired the piece of artwork in her hands.

"No, that's one of mine," Alex responded, snatching the piece of paper from his adopted sister's hands.
