The Cassandra Complex: A psychological phenomenon in which an individuals accurate prediction of a crisis is ignored or dismissed Or, in which; the Umbrella Academy children are far too young to know what life has planned for them -- except for the Eighth child, Johanna, who perhaps knows too much.

"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.

"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."
