**Hourglass**

In a fractured family of extraordinary misfits, Beatrice Hargreeves stands apart. Known as *Number Eight*, her gift is time itself-able to stop it, bend it, even rewind fleeting moments. But power always comes with a price.

When her brother Five returns after decades lost in the apocalypse, Bea is thrust into a dangerous web of assassins, secrets, and a looming end of the world. Caught between loyalty to her family and the haunting pull of destiny, she must decide: use her power to hold time still, or risk everything to change it.

As old wounds resurface and new threats close in, the Umbrella Academy must face their fractured pasts-before the hourglass runs out.

This is a Five x Reader story. In this story, Number Eight (Y/n) decides to go with Five when he attempts time travel. Read to see how the story unfolds. By the way, I wrote this in 6TH GRADE, I was weird then. The only reason I'm not deleting it is because people like it. Disclaimer: I do not own Umbrella Academy or any of the characters. Just Y/n.
