The Umbrella Academy | Ben Hargreeves

Chapter 3

Five slowly rose from the ground painfully, scanning where he was. "It worked" smiled Five, who was very chuffed with himself. That's when he looked down "Shit! Dolores told me my equations were off." (His body had gone back to the age of a 14 year old but his mind was as if he was 56). He saw the others and limped over to the others which he hadn't seen in 30 years.

That's when his eyes met Tilly's who was shaking in fear and still wearing Klaus's' brown coat. As he walked others the others started shouting and yelling at him, "where have you been?" "what were you doing?" Completely ignoring them he walked up to Tilly and opened up his comforting arms Tilly smiled leaning down to the size of his 14 year old body. Five had her in a warm embrace and whispered "I'm sorry about Ben" causing Tilly to tear up and grab him even harder in sorrow.

Once their warm embrace ended Five headed straight to the kitchen where he began to make a peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.

The others quickly followed, surrounding the table in the run down kitchen all glaring at him- Still ignoring them. Until he saw Klaus sitting at the end of the table, "nice dress" "oh Danke!" Smiled Klaus.                                                As soon as he had made his sandwich he began to complain, "why isn't there any coffee in this house!" He wined. "You know Dad didn't like caffeine" responded Allison swiftly cut off by Klaus, "Dad didn't like children but he plenty of us!"

Once Five had made his sandwich he got bombarded with questions especially from Luther and Diego. "Where the hell have you been?! It's been 16 years" exclaimed Luther.
It's been way more than 16 years more like 38"
"Wait so your 56!" They all shouted with the mouths hanging open. "Wait how did you get back?" Softly spoke Vanya.
"I projected my consciousness in to a quantum state version of myself into every possible time line. But the equations were off as you can see" Responded Five.
"That makes no sense." Stated Diego
"Well it would if you were smarter"
Anger took over Diego as he tried to punch five but got restrained by Luther.

Tilly's pov
It was now time for Mr Hargreaves funeral you could tell no one cared apart from Pongo and Luther, who were practically leading it. Rain was belting down meaning we all and to bring out umbrella- klaus's was my favourite I chuckled.

As soon as we stepped outside sadness started to fill up my whole body as I saw Bens statue in the garden. I miss him. That's when I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder it was Klaus, he gave me a reassuring smile and put my hand in his.

Standing in a circle Luther poured the ashes on the floor waiting for the wind to take them but alas that did not happen as they fell in a heap on the floor. "Would anyone like to say anything" followed Pongo trying to lighten the mood. Everyone looked around but no one said anything so he took the liberty to speak. 'Your father was a good man..."

Diego was quick to roll his eyes in disgust as he knew that wasn't true, "he treated us like shit".

Which was true I felt so bad for them being bossed around like test subjects by their own father. Especially for Ben because he just wanted to impress him and make him proud, which sadly took his life. This caused me to squeeze Klaus's hand as I trembled suddenly getting flashbacks of him.
"It's going to be okay Tilly" whispered Klaus giving me a reassuring look.

Things quickly escalated as Diego and Luther stared bickering about god knows what. Ugh boys. Punches were thrown and things were said which caused it to get worse. As the broke Diego grabbed one of his knives. Luther ran to Diego ready to through a punch when he moved out the way directly hitting Bens statue. Shock filled everyone's face as they all quickly turned their eye to me. A tear ran down my face, already wet face from the rain, as his statue fell on the hard wet ground caused his head to fly of. "Ben" I whimpered as I tried to keep my tears from pouring out. Klaus took me in his arms as he engulfed me in a hug and took me inside in the warm.

"Tilly are you alright we all knew how much he meant to you" softly spoke Klaus, he can be so sincere when he wanted to be.
"Y-yeh I'll be alright I just really miss him" I sobbed into his shoulder as he took me into a bigger hug.

Suddenly I heard everyone gasp as Luther came running inside clutching his arm- Diego had by him with one of his knives. Typical.
