"Now when we go outside you will be given a series of tests to confirm that you are what your parents claim you are, do I make myself clear?" He states with a glare. "Indeed good sir" I say sliding down the banister of the stairs with a salute. He growls and leads me to the courtyard.

This shall be fun.

Ashley's PoV

"Hang on why are there people here?!" I say glaring at the 9 people standing round the side of the courtyard. 7 kids my age, Pogo and a young woman in a rather pretty dress. "Well your parents said you were comfortable preforming in front of others, so we decided to put that to the test" Reggie says making his way over to a wall placed in the middle of the yard made out of various materials. "Ah now, I see where this is going" I say joining him. On my way over I notice the boy from before. Five. He smiles when our eyes meet before pointing a finger gun at his head and "shooting" I smirk trying to hold in a laugh but returning my attention good old Reggie beside me. "Right Miss Spectre, You can walk on the walls and ceilings, on you go" He says pushing me towards the L shaped structure. My eyes flash over to the group as I gulp, gotta make a good first impression. I sigh, plastering on a cocky grin, if I tell myself I'm confident, then I'll be confident. "PPffft easy and boring" I say effortlessly walking up the wall along various materials. I guess it was too see if I had like a weakness? I frown at the thought of me hitting something like obsidian and just falling to the ground.

I eventually reach the ceiling and hang upside down for a while. "You know I could do this all day right?" I laugh as I sit with my legs in a basket still dangling off the ceiling. "Number 7 check that off, Next Transparency" Hargreeves says. "Aha I can't do that up here I'd fall you dafty." I exclaim getting back up and walking to the ground again. I sigh "Welcome to the Spectre show folks". I go transparent, eyes turning white and my skin becoming barely visible to the eye, like a SPECTRE oooo how spooky. "Through the wall now" Hargreeves instructs becoming inpatient "As you wish your lordship" I bow and walk through the wall, again with ease. I do it multiple times until I eventually stop so my bottom half is through one side and my top on the other. "Ta Da" I say with jazz hands to the kids, all but two clap, a tall blonde kid and another with a knife on his belt. "ugh tough crowd" I laugh making it so only my arse is on one side gaining loads more laughs from the kids. "That's enough Spectre, Invisibility now and be quick about it!" Hargreeves yells. "Ja Mein Fuhrer" I say sarcastically before completely disappearing. Nice work Ash! I only got a mild headache this time! "Right that's enough, you can come back now Spectre I've seen all I need to" Hargreeves says. Just a minute, I'm not done having my fun yet, now let's see what I can do here. Ahah. "Mr and Mrs Spectre you may say goodbye to your daughter now, you won't be seeing her for a very long time. Once you have finished meet me upstairs in my office, Pogo and Grace will collect the child's bags" I was just about to tie Reggie's shoes together when it hit me. Goodbye? For a very long time?? I knew I had to say goodbye but now? I zap back into reality in front of my parents. "So-So soon? Well ok then..." My mother stammers. "Well then, I guess this is it. Mom, Dad thank you for everything and I'm sorry things turned out this way, I truly am. I love you both to the moon and back and don't worry" I say tears appearing in my eyes, I lean in close to them "I'll find a way to visit" I wink. They laugh before engulfing me in a hug. "We love you too, never forget that ok? Stay strong kiddo." Take a second to imagine that, parents hugging their only daughter and knowing that it may well be for the last time. Not a pretty scene. When they left for the office I sighed. Time for this crazy life to begin I guess.

I turn to see the kids have joined me. The blonde one from earlier steps forward. "Welcome to the Umbrella Academy number eight." He says hand stretched out. "Thanks, but I've already been welcomed, also don't really fancy getting tomato sauce on my hands" I smirk, wiping away a tear and declining his handshake. I see Five stifle a laugh out of the corner of my eye and I smile. "Oh well um sorry" The blonde says wiping his hand on his trousers. "Well I better introduce you to everyone." He says. "I'm Luther, Number one" he says. "ALSO DADS NUMBER ONE!" the karate boy from earlier shouts. I chuckle and Luther gives him a death glare. "This is Diego, also known as number two, he can throw any object and it's guaranteed to hit the target. His preferred object is knives so watch out." Luther says whilst Diego sniggers and nods. I give him a nod back. "Number 3 is the lovely Allison, watch out for her rumours." Luther says before staring into Allison's eyes, guess they are in love aww. They appear to get lost in each others eyes so give a little cat call whistle "Yeesh get a room you two." I chuckle making them both blush. "U-Um next up is number four, Known as Klaus. He can communicate with the dead." Luther says trying to push me past him. "Aha we meet again at last mademoiselle" Klaus smirks before bowing. "How's it going Karate boy?" I snigger. "HEY, that was a onetime thing, I had to ruin the moment!" he said winking at me and Five. "Next is-" Luther starts, "No need, I've already met her. The name's Five, good to see you again." The boy says, folding his arms in an attempt to look cool. I chuckle, "the same to you" He unfolds his arms, and smiles,"Invisibility huh? That's pretty cool, however spacial jumping is much better" he laughs disappearing and reappearing next to Luther, shoving him out the way. "What the? how the? ok I'll admit that was pretty amazing" I say dumfounded we catch each other's eyes again with a grin before Luther whisks me away to meet number 6. "And this is number 6 aka Ben, he's able to summon a kracken like creature thing, I'm not really sure how to word it." Luther says scratching the back of his neck. "Hey" Ben shyly says staring at the ground. "Nice to meet you Ben." I smile, gently shaking the boys hand. I notice the brunette with the fringe from earlier has disappeared. "Umm wasn't there another here? Little girl, small structure, brown hair with a block fringe?" I state turning back to the others. "Oh Vanya is ordinary and helps dad out" Luther says. "Congratulations Number 8, Hope you like it here." Luther says while the others form a circle around me and nod in agreement. I find Five in the circle and notice he has a guilt-ridden look plastered on his face. It quickly morphs into a smile when he catches me staring. Maybe I will like it here...
