"THIS is jim hellerman, reporting live for channel two news outside of the capital west bank at main and sixth. a group of heavily armed men stormed the bank not three hours ago and took an unknown number of hostages."
"hey, get them behind the counter!" a large man in a coat yells at one of his buddies. "now you've put me in a position i don't want to do. hmm? shit!" he yells into the walkie talkie, placed on his ear as a young allison walks up to him whispering something in his ear, causing him to shoot his friend in the foot. rose watches on, standing behind a pillar right opposite the thug with the walkie talkie, putting on her mask and straightening out her uniform.
"we just heard shots from inside the bank. it's uncertain that any hostages have been harmed in that. there's some movement on the roof, possibly law enforcement"
young luther crashes through the roof of the bank and throws a bandit through the large window of the bank.
"it looks like one of the armed robbers has been thrown from the bank"
as a young diego comes out from the shadows and throws two of his knives stabbing another thug perfectly in the chest. rose uses that as a queue and heads towards a robber cowering in the shadows. "excuse me mister, i can't find my mommy" rose pretends in a child's voice. "get back with the others, now" he shouts, pointing his shotgun towards her "well because you asked so nicely" she says sarcastically, a smile for the mayhem about to happen now on her face, a long vine of ivy shoots out of her hand and around his neck as she grabs the end of the vine, pulling tightly, choking him. he eventually passes out as she grabs his shotgun, nursing it on her shoulder, blowing stray strands of hair out of her face and skipping towards the others.
"i've been in many hostage situations like this, and it can escalate very quickly."
"get back, you freaks." the man who shot his friend in the foot is now on the counter, pointing his gun at the young superkids. "hey, be careful up there, buddy" diego says "get back now!" the man shouts back "wouldn't want you to get hurt" allison exclaims "that would be such a shame" rose adds "or what?" five appears sitting on the counter with a flash of blue light. a smile is placed on rose's lips as the man starts shooting where five was sitting previously. five then appearing behind the man, crossing his arms in relaxation. the thug was now 'shooting' five with a stapler. "oh that's one badass stapler!" five says mockingly as he knocks the man out with the stapler and teleports back next to rose. "not bad, five" she says as he smirks smugly by her side.
"although there's been no activity for a few minutes, we're going to stay live on location to make sure we don't miss anything in this hostage situation at the capital west bank"
"do i really have to do this?" ben asks in fear "come on, ben. there's more guys in the vault." luther answers. ben sighs opening the door, "i didn't sign up for this" as he walks into the vault, shapeshifting into a tentacled monster. as the others continue watching ben do his thing, rose turns around to the hostages to see them scared out of their mind "you can go now, you're safe now" she says to them all as they run out of the front entrance. before she returns back to her usual spot next to five, a sharp sensation rushes to her right arm following along with the noise of a shotgun being shot. 'the bitch that was shot in the foot has shot me in the arm' she thought, looking over to the man on the ground, shotgun in hand. an unexplainable pain rushes to rose's arm as she falls to the floor, dropping the shotgun nursed on her shoulder. diego quickly pulling a large knife out and throwing it directly in the man's head. allison, klaus, luther and five rush over to the girl and watch blood trickle down her arm slowly, worry the main feeling of the whole affair. "are you ok?" allison asks, bending over to the girl, whilst five holds her in his arms, slowly moving her right blazer sleeve up. "yes, i will be in a second" she struggles to say as she hovers her hand over the fresh gunshot wound and closes her eyes. a single bullet flies up into the girl's hand as she quickly throws it away. rose places her palm of her hand straight onto the bloody wound as a surge of energy goes from heart, through her arm and into the wound. small rays of white light shine through the gaps of her hand, shocking the other siblings. 'one, two, three, four, five and relief' she counts as she takes her hand off of it to be left with nothing. not a single scratch, single scar or even a drop of blood on her skin. as everyone exhales deeply after holding their breath through the whole ordeal, five stands up, extending his hand out to the girl. rose takes his hand and slowly stands up. once on her feet, young five engulfs her in a tight hug "i'm glad you're a freak" he whispers in her ear as she lets out a slight chuckle and pulls away softly from the hug. rose looks over to the newly dead man, now flat on the floor with a knife clean in his head, "thank you diego" rose yells towards him, diego nods with a smile as rose rests her head on five's shoulder, unaware of the grin five gave off from that small action.
"now we see the hostages. they- they're free. they're scared, clearly, but they do seem to be unharmed."
as ben opens the door, it is seen he is drenched in blood, "are you ok?" rose asks, he just sighs "can we go home now?" rose laughs as she skips out of the building, five teleporting by her side, hands in his pockets. "you know you could just skip too, no need for teleportation" he shakes his head with a smirk on his face.
"people are coming out now. it's not the armed robbers. these are young schoolchildren in uniforms with masks on. jim hellerman, channel two news"
as the umbrella academy stand outside for the whole world to see them for the first time ever, a sense of pride is felt in each one. rose put on her best toothy smile and looks at each of the cameras and to five. "never really like the spotlight" she says sarcastically moving her hair behind her shoulders "yeah never liked the spotlight my ass" he replies as rose smiles "you know me too well" she says as she links arms with him.
rose puts on her scarf and began to be serious as she sees her father coming towards her and her siblings. "quick put your scarf on" she says to five as he sighs and pulls his scarf out of his blazer, putting it on and tucking it into his blazer neatly "good boy" rose coos as she ruffles his hair, causing five to slap her hand away and fix his hair, "eight." her father says quietly but sternly as she stands forwards with a serious face. as her dad introduces the umbrella academy, rose notices a boy about her age in the crowd of reporters looking at her with a smirk. 'he's cute' she thinks as five looks at the boy and then to rose. he watches as rose smiles back at him and gives him a small flirtatious wave and the boy gives a wave back, jealousy enraging five. "don't wave at him rose" five whispers in her ear "why not fivie?" she asks with a smirk on her lips as he pauses, thinking of an answer "y-you don't know him" he stutters, giving the boy a stare "whatever you say five".
"mr hargreeves, channel nine news. what happened to their parents?" one reporter asks "they were suitably compensated" he replies causing rose to shake her head and sigh "are you concerned about the welfare of the children?" another reporter asks "of course. as i am for the fate of my world" he replies once more. rose looks at five and he looks back at her, both scoffing and looking forwards again.
