29 Years Later

Zathura finally finished her work, a job she loved. She was an artist, something that  she had been passionate about ever since a young age. Her father had treated her horribly to say the least, and she used art as an escape when she had a mental breakdown or she just felt lost in society. She reached into her bag, grabbing her medication she had to take for her PTSD and taking it. Ever since Ben died, she had to take medication to ease down her depression and anxiety as it had gotten worse since he died. 

Zathura never used her powers after Ben died, she managed to train herself to not commune with the dead or to be able to take people's energy and strength. Alongside being able to heal people. Zathura didn't want to go down the same road as Klaus, she loved him but god she hated how he treated himself, taking drugs and always getting drunk as a skunk. She understood though, being haunted by the dead is absolutely fucking terrible.

She made her way home, staring at the footpath as she walked. Before hearing something come over the news 

Eccentric Billionaire and Founder of The Umbrella AcademyReginald Hargreeves dead at 63. " The news reporter stated. Zathura looked at the television in the window, seeing a photo of her and the other six kids who were considered special for their powers.

" Dad, but how? how on Earth did he die " she says to herself " I'll have to go back to the Academy " she adds before going back to her apartment complex, going up to her room and unlocking the door. She decides to pack some clothes into a suitcase, she hadn't seen the rest of her family since Allison's wedding and she wanted to spend more time with them. She grabs all of her bare necessities before calling a cab so she can go back home. Go back home to the hell hole that was called the Umbrella Academy.

Zathura arrived at the academy, taking a deep breath before heading inside the gorgeous building that held the worse memories. She stumbles her way inside, making her way up to her room to put down her bags, her eyes than land on her dresser, seeing photos of her and Ben around the age of sixteen at Griddys. She lifts it up and looks at it, getting a little emotional. 

" I miss you, Ben "

" Come on Benny! we have to go celebrate our birthday " Zathura exclaims quietly, it was late into the night. Well, around 9pm at night. The two were planning to go to Griddys to get some donuts and hot chocolate since Zathura was extremely close with Agnes.

" What if we get caught ? " Ben says nervously as the two headed down the fire escape ladder that was outside her room.

" Ben, stop worrying. We've done this all the time. We will be safe " she says as he grabs his hand gently, this caused Ben to sigh and he nod.

" Alright let's go. " He says " Only because I love you "
