"This is why we can't have nice things, darling
Because you break them, I had to take them away
This is why can't have nice things, honey
Did you think I wouldn't hear 
All the things you said about me?"


On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible. He got seven of them. 

Amity Carter was born on the same day, at the same time, under the same circumstances, and the day she was born her mother got a visit from the very same billionaire. But her mother declined his offer.

Years later when Five Hargreeves, a member of the famed Umbrella Academy, goes missing, Reginald Hargreeves is eager to get him back. But when a freak incident led the old Hargreeves to find the strange girl instead, he realized that he didn't need to find Five, but a replacement.

On the first day of October 1989, forty-three women around the world simultaneously gave birth. None of the women showed any prior signs of pregnancy. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, made it his personal mission to find and adopt as many of these children as possible. He got eight of them with that one set of twins that maybe came from the same mother but in appearance, they were as different as anyone could be. Number Four and Number Eight...often used as the main subjects of experiments when it came to power. Sir Hargreeves' main focus was however on the young Number Eight which eventually led to the girl disappearing in the storm of her own powers. But what if she somehow comes back after the death of her father? What if she gets reunited with her twin and what if the boy she thought she lost and who she used to have a crush on came back as well with the news of the nearing Apocalypse? Season 1 ✔ Season 2 ✔ Heya, I decided to write this as I am quite obsessed with TUA for some time now and I picked up enough courage to write a fanfic about one of my ideas. I do hope you will like it As I said this is just one of my ideas so there is a possibility I will write another TUA fanfic in the near future. And now a bit of a TRIGGER WARNING this fanfic contains mention of blood and violence and other stuff basically like the serial itself. I don't own anything or anyone just my OC...okay that's about it...enjoy.
