The Siren's Song [ The Umbrella Academy ]

Chapter Thirteen

*Five's POV*

I got so caught up with Diego trying to find dad, that I didn't have time to find Andromeda. She's a strong girl and I know for sure that she's surviving somewhere, but I need to be with her.

"He isn't dead," I stroll in and Lila is on top of Diego, treating the wound that he got from Dad.

"Disappointed?" Lila smirks.

"Oh, to see you? Always." I fake smile back.

"So much hostility in such a tiny package," Lila remarks, "Did you cut yourself shaving?" she continues as I hold up a cloth to my own wound on my neck. "I could teach you to shave like a big boy."

"No, I just ran into an old family friend..." I retort as I recall my run-in with Pogo. I turn and see Elliot still tied up, after his meltdown over the 'Frankel Footage'.

"You didn't untie him?" I address Lila.

"Was I supposed to?" She looks up at me with mock confusion.

The next morning, Elliott informs me of something in the news.

"In the cornfields, they're saying it was some sort of explosion, but I know for sure it was aliens." He rambles on. 

"Vanya..." I mumble and immediately head out the door. 

Soon enough I arrive by a crashed car and run into the fields, where I am soon met by a massive circle of blown-out corn, it was completely flat. I search the area and finally find Vanya crouching in a ball.

"Hi, Vanya," I smile and spread the corn apart so she can see me.

"Who are you?" She asks with a frown.

"I'm your brother," I say, scanning the area around us.

"I have a brother?"

"Look, you can either stay here and wait for the IKEA mafia to come back to kill you, or you can come with me," I say, looking at her seriously. I turn around and march back through the corn.

"Wh-why are they trying to kill me?" Vanya stumbles out behind me.

"'Cause, you're not supposed to be here, Vanya,"

"In Dallas?" 

"No, here in 1963," I glance back at her as I push corn aside. We reach the large area where Vanya had used her powers, and she makes a small noise.

"Holy shit!" She mutters.

"Yeah, pretty wild, right?" I smile, "It's good to see your powers are still intact. Let's go," I nod towards where I had entered the field, and we trudge through the rest of the grass.

*Andromeda's POV*

I wake up on the hard couch that I fell asleep on, and a white cloth is hanging limply across my legs. I rub my eyes and squint around, as the bright sun is streaming into the room. I sit up as I remember where I am, and happiness fills my heart. I've found one of my siblings!

I stand up and my muscles are screaming in pain, remind myself to never sleep on a couch ever again. I follow the smell of pancakes into a large kitchen, where Klaus is standing in the same clothes as yesterday, making breakfast with a cigarette in his mouth.
