Empathy [Ben Hargreeves]

Empathy

☆☆☆ Eloise Hargreeves ☆☆☆

Ever since she was a tiny baby abandoned on the front porch of the Umbrella Academy, Eloise was attuned to the emotions around her. Elle would cry harder, love deeper, and scream with more passion than any one of her seven Hargreeves siblings.

Empathy was a curse thrust upon her from the day of her unexpected birth in October of 1989.

☆☆ The Umbrella Academy ☆☆

On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, forty-three 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.

It was a phenomenon that the human race didn't have the knowledge to comprehend or explain.

A powerful man by the name Sir Reginald Hargreeves resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible. The eccentric billionaire offered money to the mothers for their unplanned babies.

He prepared forty-three rooms in his umbrella factory that had been turned into a mansion with one goal in mind: create a team of superheroes to save the world.

In 1989, seven children were sold to Sir Hargreeves in what would become a super dysfunctional family. The children were trained and tested by the scientist like lab rats, not sons and daughters.

In 1990, another special child would be left on his doorstep. Eloise.

In 2002, one child would vanish. Five.

In 2007, one child would die. Ben.

In 2019, eight children would reconvene for the funeral of Sir Hargreeves.

Luther. Diego. Allison. Klaus.
Five. {Ben.} Vanya. Eloise.

"Did Superman really want to save the world, or did he just feel like he had to?"
