EMERALD HARGREEVES slammed her fist into another guard as she charged for the doorway to the nuclear reactor. This could end in life or death for her, neither of which sounded half bad. She grunted as she kicked another guard into the waiting arms of Spencer who froze him with a single touch.

"Nice one, Spence." The younger teen grinned at the girl as she high-fived him. "On my position. Does anybody copy?"

"This is your favorite shapeshifting bitch, Maeve," Emerald grinned at the sound of the girl's voice. "Coming to you live with breaking news. I have reason to believe I just started my period. This is not a drill. I repeat. This is not a drill."

"Maeve, as nice as it is to know about your Nile River," Emerald sighed as she felt an argument coming on between Marryn and Maeve. "We are still on mission and I don't plan to break my streak of successful ones."

"She's right." Emerald sighed staring at her watch. "We have a minute until another round of guards come through." Marryn, Maeve, and Jake turned the corner panting as Maeve shifted from a lion to a human.

"Ow." Maeve suddenly cried out in pain. "Damnit, I stubbed my toe." The said girl leaned on Spencer as she carressed her throbbing toe through her leather boot. "I thought it couldn't happen while wearing boots. Apparently, I was wrong."

Emerald rolled her eyes playfully as her sister with a grin. Toby, Josie, and her blood sister, Wynter rounded the corner joining them at last.

"Took you long enough." Marryn glared at her siblings playfully.

Toby only shrugged in response. "I was busy disarming and taking the reactor for you. Time is a fickle thing you know." Emerald gaped at the boy before swatting at him. "What the hell was that for?"

"You took too long." Emerald opened a portal to Umbrella Academy clutching onto the bag over her shoulder holding the reactor Toby had handed to her.

"Are we ready for dear old Daddykins' funeral?" Maeve grinned at the prospect of such an evil man in her opinion dead.

Emerald shook her head with a frown. "No." She sighed stepping through the portal with a smirk. "And that..." She glanced at her watch with a smirk. "Is a new record." The Second Inaugural Class of the Umbrella Academy smirked amongst themselves walking towards the living pausing at what they saw.

Emerald's eyes instantly hardened at the sight of the First Inaugural Class of the Umbrella Academy sitting and standing around discussing the funeral. "Who the hell are you?" Wynter piped up from beside her sister with a glare.

"Oh, hi, Luther." Marryn greeted with a cheerful wave and he returned the smile. Josie yanked the girl's hand down.

"Shut up. For all we know they could be imposters." Josie spoke in a hushed tone, yet Dany managed to hear her.
