she has eight days to save the world umbrella academy! diego hargreeves! season 1!

"I'm not mad." ------ Cassandra Hargreeves- or Number Eight as her father always called her- was the eighth member of the Umbrella Academy. Despite having powers, she had spent her whole life on the sidelines. She had been trained to fight, of course, but having the power of predicting the future was never going to be useful in a fight. Sir Reginald Hargreeves never allowed her to go on missions with her other siblings with powers. But her power was stronger than he knew. Cassandra's visions haunted her and the one place she could never escape them was in her dreams. She would wake up screaming in the night, rambling about a forthcoming apocalypse that her father brushed off as nonsense. He told her that she'd merely grow out of these nightmares. And it seemed as if she did. As she grew up, her power grew with her. The older she got the more appalled she became by the images of destruction and chaos she saw. Try as she might to warn the others, however much she begged Five not leave her behind or how much she pleaded with Ben to just sit one mission out, no one ever listened to her... until it was too late. She saw the chaos of the apocalypse and this time she was going to make them believe.

For as long as she could remember, Atlas King had been able to know things that were going to happen before they even did. But because Atlas knew everything, she also knew that Five Hargreeves wouldn't be an easy kill, and quick and efficient wouldn't be all that acceptable when she made it back to HQ with Number Five's head on a stick. For as long as he could remember, Number Five had always known everything, and when he didn't - he found out. But although he had heard of the Commission's weapon, he had never actually met her, and he definitely wasn't expecting this. I guess there were a few things that Five didn't know, but as he had previously stated, he was definitely going to do his research. It just made everything a little bit more fun.

"I'm about to make a prediction, okay? So listen close, you punk ass cultist." "Damn, what happened to you?" Klaus asked, narrowing his eyes at Cass who just stood before him, staring him down with a glassy look in her eyes. "You don't wanna know, now listen up. We don't have until 2019 to prevent the apocalypse. We have until Monday. We brought the apocalypse back with us." "What- but how?" Klaus stammered, "Wow this is bad." "No. It's good.," Cass said with a sinister smile on her lips, "We had a lot of loose ends in the future. Ends that date all the back to 1963. Did you ever wonder why dad decided to adopt us?" Klaus shook his head. "Believe me," Cass continued, "It took 8 people and a lot of pressure to get him to do it. And I think you'll find us Hargreeves kids to be very persuasive."

"All right, fine." Diego leaned towards her as he placed his hands on the table, resting them on either side of her body. His hot breath tickled her nose as he murmured, "I'll just have to show you that I care." | book one | season one | | total word count: 79k |
