Caught In The Middle • The Umbrella Academy

Of the 43 children that were born to unsuspecting mothers on the first of October, 1989, twenty of them lived ordinary lives. Seven died in infancy. A further five died before their sixteenth birthday. Three were killed, for faults that were not their own.

The remaining eight children were adopted into the care of Sir Reginald Hargreeves, where he trained them to be crime-fighting pre-teen superheroes. But tragedy struck the family in their teens, and the remaining six drifted apart, avoiding contact with each other where they could help it.

And Alec Hargreeves never expected to be back in his childhood home, especially not holding his brothers apart at his father's funeral, but nothing ever went the way he expected it to.
