Flashback- 5 years ago

Lorna was in a small little book store and had stumbled upon a book titled "Extra Ordinary" By Vanya Hargreeves.

Lorna decided she'll read it and take a look at her sister's work. She found out it was about how their father and the Umbrella Academy treated Vanya. Lorna was slightly mad she wrote bad about her other siblings, but she was kind of happy her sister thought so highly of her.

Lorna read a section about herself and thought about how nicely and sweetly her sister described her. "Lorna, my sister, was the one of the siblings who actually loved me, made me feel, not so alone. And while I wasn't always happy, with her I truly was. I hope that one day I can repay the kindness she had shown me, because I don't think I would have ever made it through life without her."

Lorna let a few tears fall as she smiled widely. At least she knows that one of her siblings still loves her.

(What Lorna wears what's at the top)

Lorna, Luther and Allison, were currently in a room full of screens and on one particular screen, showed a video of Mr. Hargreeves having a heart attack and how grace did nothing about it.

Grace just stood there as Reginald fell back onto the bed and died making Luther sigh. "Play it again."

Lorna mumbles from behind luther. "Please don't"

Allison just gets slightly annoyed. "We've watched it over and over, Luther. It's the same every time."

Luther sighs again as he replays it and stammers. "Er... What is she doing?"

Allison just shrugs while Lorna looks to the ground. Luther asks the two girls. "The tea. Did she poison him?"

Allison sighs. "Uh... I don't know."

Lorna speaks up. "I do. She didn't poison him. I remember hearing you and Diego arguing in dad's room. Diego said the autopsy report said that dad died a normal death, of heart failure. What do you see on the video?"

Luther sighs knowing Lorna was right as she answers her own question. "Heart failure."

Luther sighs again as he asks Allison. "Where did you find this?"

Allison answers as she stops leaning on the book self and walks over to the chair beside Luther and stands next to Lorna. "I was just looking at old footage of us as kids. and I saw the tape just sitting there."

Luther nods. "Yeah, dad must have started using the security system again. He was getting more and more paranoid. He thought people were out to get him. Well... I guess maybe he was right."

Lorna gets up and looks at the video. "But mom? I mean, she is not capable..."

Her two siblings look at her as she doesn't finish her sentence. Allison puts a hand on Lorna's shoulder and rubs it as she asks. "Is she?"

It goes quiet and the three sigh.

The three siblings were currently down in the kitchen as Grace hums and makes breakfast. They all send each other looks then look at Grace as Lorna is the first to speak. "Mom?"

She doesn't get an answer so Luther sighs. "We need to ask you some questions about the night that dad died. Do you remember anything?"

Grace turns around and smiles. "Of course. Sunset, 7:33 p.m. Moon was waxing crescent, dinner was Cornish hen, wild rice and carrots."

Luther cuts her off. "No. No, uh... later that night. In his bedroom. Did you go see him?"

Grace continues to smile as she chuckles. "I don't recall."
