'Not your usual episode'
☽
~~~~~~~~{to tell the truth, I got quite bored of writing the previous episodes. Copying the exact words and actions of the characters. This was meant to be more personalized but I got a bit off track. Here let's starts again. Don't sweat, all those events still happened...}
"Arrival: Headache"
1995
At the start of the umbrella academy, there was only seven. All raised under the Hargreeves house hold. There...left a question to where the other thirty six were. What extreme havoc they were causing with their given abilities. Today, in 1995, the Hargreeves children are at the striking age of six. With the limited control they have on their powers, the house was filled with headache. Much of this pain untouched by Professor Hargreeves but heavily on the Children's nanny and primate mentor.
"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven!" Miss May called. (One of the nannies before Grace) The children scrambled down the stair case in the most silliest way possible. Each lined up before the woman as she fixed their blazers. "You will eat your food today Number Seven, yes?" Hargreeves said watching over the children's morning.
"Yes." The dining table was showcasing a variety of fruits, vegetables, and baked goods. "Waffles!" Ben shouted. The children sat in unison when sir Hargreeves took his place. The meal was silent for the most part until there was small knock at the entrance door. Pogo walked over to the door and peered out to see who the guest was. A little girl and her mother. "Hello ma'am, what is meaning for this visit?" He gestured.
"I-I've heard about this academy on the news. The special children here? My daughter she-"
"Im afraid we don't take orphans..." he began to close the door slowly. But it stopped inches from its ajar due to an unknown force."Ah-my head!" The little girl grabbed ahold of her temples."Professor Hargreeves, I believe there is someone here to see you." The well dressed scientist approached the woman and her child. "When we she born?" His hands were behind his back and his posture was perfect.
"October 1st, 1989."
Hargreeves facial expression fell as he understood what this could mean. "Why bring her here young lady?"
"I had Y/N and her brother when I was 19, i wasn't even expecting them. I kept her because my parents supported it. And my friend took her twin brother. But recently she has been getting these incurable headaches that lead to damages to my home and family. And she keeps...disappearing?" She explained.
The girl looked up and her eyes were dull as she glared at the scientist.
'help me...' the voice slithered in Hargreeves mind.
Professor Hargreeves grinned upon the child as he figured out her ability. "We'll help you, come in child, we are eating breakfast." He said kindly, signaling to the dining area. The girl waved goodbye to her tearing mother.
"Qǐng huílái." She waved back.Hargreeves walked with his hand behind the girls back. "Children, this is Number 8. She's a new member of this academy." The kids stared at the new face for a long time before going back to their meals.
"You sit there, next to Number Seven." He pointed. She walked cautiously to the empty seat...her eyes never leaving the little bear she was carrying.
"Hi, don't be scared. I'm Seven:)"
