Inside Your Mind; Umbrella Academy

"Does she live here now or something?" Athena woke up to someone not-so-quietly whispering. As she rubbed her eyes she slowly was able to make out who it was.

Diego and Five.

Diego was once again trashing her, putting it all in the air how he apparently didn't trust her at all. He felt on edge about this brand new girl in his house. To that Five replied back sternly saying how he lacked any kind of compassion. In a way it made Athena happy to see someone sticking up for her. Even thought the night prior she made a pact to sober up.

Damn was she regretting that now.

Her head now felt foggy, as she slowly felt whatever she took last night dying off. She couldn't hear or do anything yet, but it was right about now that she was on to the next thing, because soon enough she'd be in people's head again.

"Wake up Athena" Five walked over and through the duvet cover off of her. Immediately she tried to cover up. She was in a pair of Allison's pajamas and in all honesty  it made her feel weird. Getting up with a groan and a nasty glare at the young boy, Athena now made her way down to the living area.

"Family meeting" Five smirked spatial jumping in front of the girl before leading her into the living room.

The rest of the family stood there waiting for Five's instruction, but all of there faces turned to her as soon as she walked down the steps, well except for Diego who already knew she was here. Once again he gave a look before turning away.

He was not here for anything that had to do with her.

Athena sighed giving a short and quick wave before sitting on the couch. She didn't feel alright being around the siblings. In fact the only ones she actually had a care for was Klaus and Five, so Athena preferred to watch from afar.

Each kid had a stack of files, that all look tossed about.

"All of mine are dead, how fitting" Klaus was the first person to plop his stack of files down before shrugging and glancing over to side to the blank space next to him. Athena took this as a wake up call, Klaus could really see dead people and the poor boy probably had to sit there while these people haunted him.

Next was Vanya she placed all of her files on the stack as well with a sad look in her eyes. The whole situation was pretty heartbreaking after all. Who knows what even happened to all these other kids. Allison walked over comforting Vanya before placing 3 of her files on the stack. That left 2, technically 3 including Athena that were confirmed to be alive. Luther and Five then went, both with no luck. Vanya's eyes started to tear up as she watched the pile grow with each siblings contribution.

"We are missing one" Diego's voice cut through the depressing mood in the room. It was right about now that Athena would grab a drink.

With careful eyes Athena watched the man as he slammed his files on to the table except for one that contained one more living person. That makes a grand total of 4, there was four more extra kids that were alive and actually on-the-grid to find. One of them being Athena.

"What do you mean?" Allison spoke up confused as she watched her brother before turning to Five with a questioning look. Five just stood their with a smirk on his face before he shrugged and walked away. He of course knew where that file was, but he wanted to see what the outcome of this would turn into.

"Five, get back here... now" Diego went to go chase after the boy, but Klaus put an arm out stopping him. He turned to Klaus fury in his eyes as he stared down his brother. Obviously Five was up to something and Diego wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Get out of my way" Diego spat, obviously angry.

"Can't let you do that. I rather not have another sibling only I can talk too" Klaus smirked at his brother. Diego was fuming at this point.

"Get the fuck out of my way Klaus" Diego went to reach for one of his knives.

Vanya called out trying to get Diego to stop, but he refused. Instead he stood there knife to Klaus' neck trying to make Klaus back down. Allison quickly turned to Luther begging for him to help out, but he just watched frozen in place. Athena was pissed as she watched Klaus' family not do anything, so before she could comprehend it she was gonna get in the middle.

"Get off of him are you crazy" she yelled getting in between the two. Klaus the other day helped her so it was only right that she helped him right now, even if she didn't want to get into all the family stuff. Especially with the asshole sibling, that the rest loved and called Diego.

"And who do you think you are?" Diego now stood basically on top of her trying to intimidate her, to scare her away. He was over this girl who felt entitled to walk in here with his brother who was just putting his life together. Athena stared the man down giving him a taste of his own medicine.

"I'm your brother's friend and I care for his well being so if I were you I would put the knife down and back off" Athena stared up at the brooding man. She was over his bitterness towards her.

"Please he was just looking to score, you are nothing more than schmoozing crackhead" Diego gave a sarcastic smile pulling the knife down, knowing he was most likely hitting a nerve.

This was the last straw. Athena was beyond mad. Now she was even more furious than before. How dare he, this man that judged her from the very beginning, sit here and say anything to her.

"This crackhead is the one who was in that missing file, the one who will be saving your ass, so like I said.."

"Back off" Athena felt all her anger rush out, as she stared into the bitter man's eyes.

Diego's eyes suddenly went glassy before finally walking away. Athena clutched her head as the pain surged through her. Immediately she felt Klaus grab onto her shoulder as she fell to her knees. She did that, she made him leave, she basically just outed herself to the whole house as well. No longer was she even present, but rather within her own thoughts that she felt stuck in her head. She didn't even mean for it to happen. She was just angry. Just like how now she was in pain. They are normal emotions yet to her the slightest feeling could cause someone to be at her service.

She had no control of any of it and that was the scariest thing.
