On the twelfth 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 seven of them.

...

PRESENT DAY

NUMBER 1: Luther

An alarm clock blared at a certain time, and someone smacked it to turn it off. A very large and buff man named Luther climbed out of bed and made his way down the hall of a very small and cramped space.

He put on a heavy suit and helmet and stepped out of his house and onto the surface of the moon. He held a trash bag in his hand and floated over to where a large dumpster was and dumped the trash in it.

...

NUMBER 2: Diego

Somewhere in a suburban house, a family was being robbed. One of the robbers held the dad by the collar and demanded to know where the safe was or else his family, who were being held at gunpoint by other robbers, would be killed.

Suddenly, a figure pulled one of the robbers around a corner and snapped his neck. A tall man with short black hair and slight facial hair wearing an all black suit with knives attached to his belts and a mask over his eyes came around the corner and started attacking the other two robbers. He threw one of his knives and it seemed to curve at an unnatural angle and stab one of the robbers in the shoulder.

...

NUMBER 3: Allison

A gorgeous woman with dark skin and long curly hair was dressed in a tight fitting dress and was walking down a red carpet being met with flashing cameras. She had just finished starring the lead in the movie Love on Loan 3.

...

NUMBER 4: Klaus

A skinny man with short messy brown hair and a small beard and mustache, dressed in very eccentric clothes hopped down from a bunk and started waving goodbye to people.

He approached a desk with a sign that said 'Rehabilitation' on it. A man behind the desk stared at him with a blank look and gave him his stuff back.

"We'll see you soon, Klaus." The man deadpanned, very confident that Klaus wouldn't last long before he started his drug and alcohol habits again.

...

Back on the moon, Luther hopped his way up a rocky hill to a lawn chair that he had set up with a view of the Earth. He was just about to sit down when his wrist beeped.

"Incoming transmission."

Luther looked down at a screen that was attached to his forearm and read the message he received. His face immediately fell into shock and disbelief.

...

Diego picked up his discarded knife and looked at the still frightened family. "Your family is safe now."

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the TV that was on in the living room.

"We now go live to a breaking story..."

...

Allison stood on the carpet and smiled for the paparazzi when they started shouting questions at her that made her a bit confused.

"Allison, have you heard the news?"

"When was the last time you saw your father?"

"Have you heard from your brothers?"

"What will you be wearing to the funeral?"

Someone came up behind Allison and whispered something to her, and she quickly walked off the red carpet.

...

Sirens blasted through the streets as an ambulance sped down the road. Klaus was lying on his back with a mask over his face as a paramedic pressed paddles to his chest. Apparently, it really hadn't been long since he got back to his old habits.

The paddles shocked him back to life, and he sat up and gasped loudly, then started panting and laughing.

There was a small TV in the back of the ambulance that was playing the news.

"Moments ago, police reported the death of the most eccentric and reclusive billionaire."

...

NUMBER 7: Vanya

A woman with long brown hair and a sharp jaw wearing jeans and a button up was standing on a stage playing songs from phantom of the opera on the violin. Her eyes were closed and she seemed lost in the music. As she finished her song, the lights came on and she looked around at the empty theatre.

She packed up her case and exited the theater, but paused by a shop that had a TV on playing the news. She saw a picture of Reginald Hargreeves and the caption under it saying he was dead.

She stared at the screen in shock. "Dad..."
