Untapped Potential: his greatest disappointment. by Fictionalwhore36

For their entire life, Reginald had preached upon preached that they all had enormous potential; Klaus got the brunt of it. Luther would get a firm slap on the back, Allison would get some definite praise, Five would be told that he was a gifted mind, Diego was told that he was getting better, Ben would get a gift, and Klaus... Klaus would get a lecture. They all got told they had potential, but Klaus was the only one who was ever told he was a disappointment because he couldn't reach it- because it was supposedly greater than he could imagine. Or~ (an exert from ch. 14) "Klaus's eyes went a bright- electric blue as he raised from his seat, his chest struggling forward and his arms spread wide as his body was wracked with tremors. His breathing grew more and more frazzled as soft blue light trails wafted elegantly into Klaus's arms, saturating his veins. Every trail they took would burn a majestic azure before it all halted- completely. The world seemed to darken as the sun moved outside, the room growing dim. Klaus collapsed to the ground with a clamorous thud." *CHAPTER 1 IS UPDATED/EDITED. IF YOU CLICKED ON THIS STORY AND HATED THE FIRST CHAPTER, GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE PLS*

"Well, this is gonna be a mess." "Yeah, but at least we're in it together." In the Hargreeves family, there is only one person that is the most least likely to have a kid-Klaus. Well, look at him, defying expectations! His daughter, Callie Taylor, doesn't even know who he is. But he shouldn't even exist...right? Wrong. The universe is not kind, is she? So when Callie finds herself in the subway between time, she finds her family. And someone else-Five. She instantly hates him, almost as much as he hates her. He just sees her as another Klaus. She just sees him as someone who thinks they're better than her. And while everyone is completely shocked at how Klaus has a kid, and how she found her way to somewhere that shouldn't exist, the siblings all realize that the one true timeline isn't as true as it's supposed to be.

BEHIND THE SCENE: ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜᴍʙʀᴇʟʟᴀ ᴀᴄᴀᴅᴇᴍʏ || 𝗧𝗨𝗔 by TOKYOVIE_05

Katherine possesses a gift, or rather, she was meticulously designed to become the perfect soldier that Reginald had always dreamed of. She stands as the most formidable among them all. From the moment Reginald laid eyes on her, he knew the extent of her abilities. However, this revelation marked the loss of her childhood, as she was swiftly molded into a weapon. Her world now revolves around the confines of a crimson room, with only basic necessities like food and sleep, draining away her common sense. Secluded from the world, hidden in secrecy even among the Umbrella Academy siblings, she became an envious figure in a painted portrait - "the girl on the portrait." Her loyalty to Reginald knows no bounds, obeying his every command like a willing genie. Yet, behind her outward compliance lies a shadowy cloak of mystery, an aura of intrigue that hints at concealed secrets buried deep within her soul. Whispers in the shadows claim that her abilities defy imagination, veiled in uncertainty. Is she a prodigy of Reginald's brilliance, or an unearthly entity drawn to this world by inexplicable forces? Within the enigmatic walls of the Umbrella Academy, the truth of her existence remains a puzzle yearning to be solved. _____________________ "I can slice that throat of yours if I want to," Master Five murmured, his voice laced with a hint of danger. A daring smirk curved on Katherine's lips, as she coolly retorted, "Well, lucky me, 'cause you can't do shit with that chain tied around your pretty little neck."
