It took a moment for her words to go in his ears and strike a distance chord. He smiled at his drink then laughed, a high, mad sort of laugh. When he caught a glimpse of her face, he tried to hold it in. “Oh you’re… serious,” he said dreamily, laughing again. “Did my sister’s book not sate your… rabid appetite for a juicy story.”

He smirked and took another drink from his glass.

“i thought only fair to let you give your side of the story.” she was sitting angled towards him; there was less chance for him to ignore her and a better opportunity for her to establish eye contact.

thea thought it might violate some journalism ethics rule to use her powers, but nobody had to know.

“you don’t sound too happy, klaus. do you disagree with the things vanya wrote? or... are you angry with her?”

Klaus was already glassy-eyed and fidgety, having taken a small dose from the little bag hidden in his coat lining before he’d even arrived at the bar. Since sitting down, he’d consumed at least two burbons, and he was working on a coctail when a voice pulled him from his own chaotic thoughts. He thought at first she must be dead. The living tended to ignore him. But then he realized he was far too out of it to even see Ben.

He shook his head lazily. “Not today,” he sighed dreamily, taking another sip of the drink in front of him.

thea sat down next to him, half certain he was high but unwilling to ask. 

“i’m thea wright, a reporter, mind if I ask you some questions?”

she’s pretty sure he’s gonna tell her to fuck off and she’ll be the third one to come back with nothing but a no comment, but it’s worth a shot. maybe he’s just messed up enough to talk to her.

“i wanted to talk to you about the academy.”

thea had never wanted to search out the umbrella academy, but protesting the assignment would have required explanations she wasn’t ready to give her new coworkers.

one was dead. one was assumed dead, though no one had ever confirmed anything. that left four former superheroes to interview and her editor had decided to speed things up and assign a different reporter each interview.

she almost wondered if it was a form of hazing, giving her the junkie who she couldn’t manage to get on the phone. instead, she had to track him down and show up at bar he frequented.

“this seat taken?”

thea’s quiet for a long moment. “i suppose you just have to try. try to think about the people you love, the people who need you.”

“and, if it comes down to it, maybe that’s the sacrifice you make. you for the world or… the greater good.”

BUZZFEED UNSOLVED: SUPERNATURAL SENTENCE STARTERS ( S2. )

❛ and the worst part is, i don’t even have my holy water! ❜ 

❛ you escaped the clutches of yet another demon. ❜ 

❛ there may very well be a hot dog vendor in chicago who is a bigfoot. ❜     

❛ demons, you cowards! ❜ 

❛ this is like satan’s cement butt hole. ❜ 

❛ i think your douche meter is usually half mast but right now it’s about three quarters full. ❜ 

❛ i think a moon having a boner is about as realistic as ghosts. ❜ 

❛ well the only way to really provoke them is to provoke them! ❜     

❛ i think the ground is cleaner than this couch. ❜ 

❛ holy shit, it’s a jacuzzi tub! ❜ 

❛ i stole them off a woman who died on the titanic! ❜ 

❛ no, no, no, you’re going to scare the ghosts away. ❜ 

❛ if i see people taller than me, i get concerned about them because i think they’re gonna die. . young. ❜ 

❛ jesus christ, do you always have to insult the ghosts at the place we’re at? ❜ 

❛ if george clooney was on the tonight show and you set him on fire, one of his feet would burn and the other one would probably still be planted there on the floor in a very nice shoe — clooney’s flammable. ❜ 

❛ i’ve always gotta’ think about stuff, y’know? like this mannequin in this tub, what’s he doing here? ❜ 

❛ hey demons, it’s me, ya’ boy. ❜ 

❛ it is a very old piece of footage, but so is die hard — still good. ❜ 

❛ so it was aliens? they showed up, gave ‘em ipads, gave ‘em a zune, built the pyramids, left, and that’s it? ❜ 

❛ stop telling the ghosts to follow me home. ❜ 

❛ oh so you’re going to make me sit in the shitty chair? ❜ 

❛ this guy has been inhaling too many cat shit fumes. ❜     

❛ i took an improv comedy class once, ‘cause i’m a white guy. ❜ 

❛ i just got startled by a disco ball. ❜ 

❛ maybe this ghost just loves to blaze it. ❜ 

❛ just, to be fair, fuck christopher columbus. ❜ 

❛ i’m not doing this because i want to steal, i‘m doing this because i want to give the ghosts significant reason to haunt me. ❜ 

❛ hey ghouls! the boys are here. ❜ 

❛ i think everyone needs a hobby, and if you don’t have one, that’s when you’re probably gonna start killing people. ❜ 

❛ i wasn’t fat-shaming bigfoot! ❜         

❛ this is what happens when people are passive aggressive full-time. ❜ 

❛ ghost 101: one, knock book off shelf. week two, hold a candlestick in the middle of a hallway. three…sheets. ❜ 

❛ it looks like one of the conjuring films. ❜ 

❛ anytime you get uneasy, that’s me! ❜ 

❛ if there were a town full of me in the puritan times, we’d have landed on the moon in 1790. ❜ 

❛ we’re just two guys sitting in a tub. ❜ 

❛ demons! you’re not trying hard enough — plunge us into darkness! ❜     

❛ you gotta’ fuckin’ calm down, man. ❜ 

❛ why is it someone who chokes on a peanut doesn’t get a ghost? ❜ 

❛ i think it’s a little bit more fun to believe that humans are capable of some truly horrific things. ❜ 

❛ i’m exposing my cranium to you. ❜     

❛ there’s a good chance tonight is the night you see me die on camera. ❜ 

❛ shadows do tend to follow you though, that’s how they work. ❜ 

❛ this is gonna get a little morbid, but who’s to say that a burning body doesn’t smell like barbecue? ❜ 

❛ i didn’t even get to do all the things on my bucket list. ❜ 

❛ i don’t wanna be a ghost hunter, this is all bullshit! ❜ 

❛ you keep tricking me into talking to them, you fuckin’ dickhead! ❜ 

❛ spooky, huh? ❜ 

❛ is it very european to — to burst into flames? ❜ 

❛ and i guess this is where we’re fuckin’ sleeping because we’re idiots. ❜ 

❛ ( wheeze ) ❜

“the truth is rarely pure and never simple.”                                     — oscar wilde

on the twelfth hour of the first day of october 1989, forty-three 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 only got seven of them.

alethea “thea” wright was one of the others. she grew up loved and almost normal. there’s just this one thing...

you can’t lie to her.
