[✔️] Agony || Diego Hargreeves [1]

One

Present...

The sound of cheers filled the room as the woman raised her boxing-glove-covered hands in victory. Her opponent lies unconscious on the floor of the ring as the crowd looks surprised seeing as the woman's thin frame was surely going to make her lose. However, she stands straight with a proud look on her face.

A man holding a boxing belt approaches her with a smile before handing her the belt. "And our winner is Cara Hargreeves!" She once again raises her arms and lets out a shout of victory before receiving her award.

Hours later, the woman sits on a stool in the local bar, her eyes trained on the TV sitting on the corner of the table. "Four shots of vodka, please!" She called out to the bartender before pushing a bill across the counter, her eyes not leaving the screen as it shows a recording of her fight. Suddenly, it is stopped when the fight was replaced by news. The bartender hands her the drinks causing her to rip her attention from the screen.

"Moments ago, police reported the death of the most eccentric and reclusive billionare"

Hearing those words made her stop. She turns to the television and sure enough, there showed a picture of her father the news crawl reading Sir Reginald Hargreeves is Dead.

Cara sighs before grabbing the shots, drinking all of them in less than a minute. She rests her head on the bar, her hands shaking. Before she knew it, tears started to stream down her cheeks. However, those tears weren't for her father. They were for her siblings. For Five. For Diego. For Ben.

Cara stared at the large building in front of her. She brushed a short strand of hair away from her face as she held her black coat tighter against her chest. After a few seconds, she slowly stepped toward the gate and opened it then climbed up the small flight of stairs leading to the front door. She raised her hand to grasp on to the doorknob, briefly glancing at her blurry reflection on the glass door, before finally opening it.

The minute she stepped into the house, memories flooded her mind. Brief images of her and her siblings playing tag while their father was busy, of Ben and Klaus jumping on the latter's bed...of Five making sandwiches... Vanya playing her violin... Allison and Luther listening to music... and lastly, of her kissing Diego's cheek. A tear falls down her face but she immediately wipes it away.

Luther was the one who stayed behind when no one else did. When everyone grew up, they all started to resent the family, but not him. He was angry with everyone that left and chose to shut himself off from the rest of the world.

Allison chose to leave and fulfill her dreams of becoming an actress. And so, she used her powers and lied her way to the top. Due to this. She became so busy to the point where no one could even contact her. But Cara still loved her and tried her best to reconnect with her, sadly she never got to.

Vanya was the one who always chose to distance herself from her family even when they were little. So it didn't come as a surprise when she, like Lither, chose to disappear from the family. However, she recently made an appearance when she released her first autobiography which caused quite a lot of controversy among the siblings.

Then there was Klaus... He fell into the dark pit of drugs and alcohol and sadly never got back. Ever since the death of his best friend, his addiction has gotten worse and no one was there to help him out of it.

Lastly, Diego... her best friend. Cara and Diego were in love. However, they never got together. The disappearance of Five and death of Ben took a toll on the both of them causing them to fall into their own pits of darkness. Diego chose to leave the family behind without giving his siblings an address or number at least. He tried pursue his dream of becoming a police officer but sadly, that didn't go well. So he instead pursued a life of crime fighting like he was the next Batman
