Chapter 9: Challenges and Opportunities

"Please, just help me. She's so powerful and deserves a chance to help others like we do. Just put your differences apart for 5 minutes and help her. Please." I heard Five try to persuade the others to join us in talking to Hargeeves. 

"Woah, he said please twice in one sentence. You must really care about her" Klaus teased him, Five glared and went slightly red.

"Shut up but yes I care about her." He replied snarkily, "So will you help me?" 

Klaus and Ben looked at each other briefly, after Ben nodded, Klaus gave a cheesy thumbs up. Allison whispered a small 

"Okay, what's the worst that could happen?"

Luther looked outraged, 

"She nearly destroyed our house!" he snarled at Five and Allison.

"Luther, give her a chance it wasn't her fault" Allison bargained from next to him. This bewildered and suprised me but also made me immensely happy. Maybe we could finally have the sisterly relationship I was sure we both craved. Luther shrugged and remained silent next to Diego who simply twiddled his knfe between his fingers. 

"Diego?" They all asked in unison, 

" O-okay then." He said grumpily, staring at the ground awkwardly. Five came over to where I was hiding and dragged me to his side and gestured toward the office door. 

"Father, we all want to talk to you. It's about Vanya." Five announced as he burst through the door, he had always had a flair for the dramatic. "We want her on the team. Before you say anything, we know she'd have to train for quite a while so she can learn to control her powers and be able to fight others more efficiently." Father looked up from his notebook and studied our faces closely. 

"Vanya showed iniative in her training and instinct in the training she was allowed to have, she could be a good addition if we could ensure her powers would not cause catastrophic events... One, Two, Three, Four, Six" Their heads snapped up when their names were called, "Do you wish for her to join the team also?" Klaus and Ben nodded eagerly while Allison smiled sheepishly at Vanya and gave a small nod. Diego shrugged at him, and went back to staring at the ground. 

"Excuse me Sir?" Luther pompously asked, stepping out from behind Allison, "Surely if you kept her powers from her for so long you must have had good reason" He earned a harsh glare from Five, 

"Number One, it seems Seven is no longer a danger. If anything she's more powerfull than you" Hargreeves said with no concern for his favourite adopted child, not even looking up from his notebook. Klaus snickered slightly as he dragged Ben out of the room. 

"Seven, stay behind" Gulping, I turned away from the large oak door and faced him. "You will work hard, your abilities will be pushed. I need to know that you'll be able to do this. I expect you to continue your studies in music also."

"Of course, I promise" 

"You are dissmissed." Beaming, I dashed up to Five's room. Running thought the door and jumping and wrapping my legs arounf his hips and my arms arounf his neck, causing us to tumble onto his bed.

"Thankyou, Thank you so much" I chattered through my huge smile. He said nothing but stood us up and span me around.

"I'm so happy for you Vanya." His smile matched mine perfectly.

"I'm going to thank everyone else"  We walked hand in hand down the hallway stopping at every bedroom to say a quick thankyou. Until we reached Allison and Luther. I rapped a feeble lnock on her door, I saw Allison sitting on her bed with an arm around Luther. 

"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt I just wanted to say thankyou for helping me even though I know it's hard to like me let alone trust me." 

"It's okay Vanya." She said back, still attending to Luther and his emotions. Grinning back, I pulled the door slowly shut.

"Concentrate on the vibration Seven, slowly increase it. Be careful not to smash the glass." Doing as he said, I listened to the beautiful notes my powers were creating as the ringing from the glasses overlapped. "Now, destroy them." Blinking in disbelief, I increased the vibration and felt the glass shatter and explode throughout the room. I ducked in panic, waiting for the glass shards to invade my skin. They never reached me, opening my eyes timidly I saw I'd created a barrier between myself and the glass of energy. Father scurried to his notebook and jotted down what he was seeing. Pulling the barrier to the ground the glass slid off to the floor infront of me. "Seven go get Five and Grace, tell her we're going to need the moving targets that Two uses." Dashing off to follow his orders, I wondered what we would need them for. Popping my head round Five's door, I told him Dad's orders and we walked down to the kitchen where I repeated the orders again. 

"Seven, objects are going to be thrown at you and Five, you must extend your barrier to cover you both." Shrugging away Five's bewilderment, I tried to recreate the small barrier around my hands. The energy shimmered on my fingertips, the first target came flying at us. Stretching out the barrier infront of Five and me, I closed my eyes once more. I was knocked back slightly from the force the object was thrown at but the barrier stayed around us. Noticing Five's amazed stare through my hase of concentration. Holding my hands at the middle of the barrier I crouched infront of Five and tried to stretch the barrier further as more objects littered the area above us. 

"Good Seven, your next challenge is to push objects out of the air, we will throw the targets and you must knock them away from you." Pushing energy out of the palms of my hands I watched it reach the objects and knock them back to the wall. After half an hour of those same ativities over and over again. We were allowed back to our rooms. On my bed lay my very own Umbrella Academy suit. Dragging my fingers across the fabric I wondered what my first mission would be like. I didn't have to wonder for much longer as I was soon startled by the blaring of the mission alarm. Running out and down the hall, I made eye contact with my Father. He nodded and gave permission for me to join them. Speedily I tried to change into the jumpsuit, but couldn't do up the zip. Knocking on Five's door impatiently,

"Can you help me with my zip?" I asked naively,

"Just a second!" He yelled back, moments later he popped outside and quickly pulled the zip up to cover my chest. Taking the domino mask form my hand, he placed it gently on my face and turned me to face the mirror. I barely recognised myself. "Let's go"
