— WE ONLY SEE EACH OTHER AT WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS (part 1)
A/n. Yay it has been posted after 2+ months! The first chapter of the drifter! I also posted this on wattpad so please follow me there too!
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.
—------------------------------
There sat a girl in her own realm of consciousness as her eyelids were closed while meditating, though what was rather strange about this domain was it contained shards or rather memories stored into fragments of glass it levitated around the girl. The fragments were stored with (name)'s childhood both the good memories as well as the bad ones, yet growing up as a hargreeves most of her childhood was spent training and fighting off robbers.
—------------------------------
Sure most of (name)'s fragments of feelings contained sadness, sobs and crying especially the death of number 6 in the hargreeves home of course there was laughter but it barely happened with the pressuring gaze of
A fond smile dawned on (name)'s face as she remembered all the funny moments in her childhood. It was soon disturbed when a loud sound pierced through her head interrupting her meditation and at the same time the fragments had stopped floating around instead landing on the ground. Her head felt weird, everything was fuzzy and her vision started to blur. This wasn't something she usually encountered when in her domain, was something... InInterfering from outside? No it can't be... She used almost all of her power to make sure this domain is unbreakable.
Her headache got worse as she was stumbling before her vision went black.
—------------------------------
5 of the 8 hargreeves children stared in shock as they witnessed two of their siblings who were supposingly counted as 'missing' were right in front of their eyes, one unconscious while the other was getting rid of leaves from his hair perhaps the most shocking part was that they still stayed 16 despite being gone for over 16 years.
"Does anyone else see little number five and number eight or is it just me?"
Klaus asked while him and the others cautiously stepped closer to their now younger siblings.
A creepy giggled was heard yet no one other than (name) could hear it.
Upon hearing the giggle, (name)'s eyes shot open and she got up from the ground shaking a few leaves from her head.
The now teenage girl thought to herself as she stared at the familiar structure of the mansions she grew up in, though perhaps seeing the faces who she used to fight crime with who are now grown made her even more shocked. She was gone this long? Though, as she turned to her right, she saw five... the same five who had rebelled against their father and had gone missing in the process. She sighed before walking back into her old home and into the kitchen wanting to eat or drink something perhaps if mom was still here she might make a snack?
—------------------------------
"What's the date? The exact date."
Five asked while sighing, taking a load of bread and walking to the table where everyone sat.
Perhaps after a period of silence, Luther spoke up.
"So are we gonna talk about what just happened?"
Luther asked directed to (name) and five who was busy making his snack while the other kept quiet with her cup of water in hand as she stared into her reflection, she saw her eyes turned yellow and a smirk was present in the reflection. She's just hallucinating right? No way 𝐢𝐭 can be back....
"It's been seventeen years."
Luther stated while five scoffed and rolled his eyes. "It's been a lot longer than that." Five said while space jumping back to the cutting board to make his snack.
"Where've you been?" Diego asked, while crossing his arms and eyes squinted as he watched five space jumps .
"The future. It's shit by the way."
Five answered while blinking away and making his favourite snack, so he did the thing that father forbidden him to do.. ha that does sound like what five would do.
"Wait, how did you get back?"
Viktor asked, still trying to process the information that five had just stated.
"In the end, I had to project my consciousness forward into a suspended quantum state version of myself that exists across every possible instance of time."
Five answered not even looking up, perhaps he was used to these questions? Though, even when he answered Viktor no one understood what he had said.
"Well, it would if you were smarter." Five retorted at Diego, in which the latter immediately stood up perhaps ready to fight. Although, Luther held him back not wanting a fight especially when it's their father's death day.
"How long were you there?"
"Thirty years... Give or take."
Luther and Diego slowly fell back into their seats as everyone was stunned by the information.
A voice exclaimed as she sat on the table though no one paid attention to her. After all she was invisible, though not to (name) . (name) sighed and drank her cup of water, wanting to ignore the spirit that had came to annoy her once again.
"So what are you saying? That you're forty-six?
"No," Five looked up at Luther, visibly annoyed with his siblings' lack of understanding of such a simple thing. "My consciousness is fifty-eight. Apparently, my body is now sixteen again." He stated in a matter of fact tone, while taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Wait, how does that even work?"
Viktor asked,wanted to clear up his confusion though perhaps not wanting to answer anymore questions he simply walked off taking another bite of his favourite snack.
"Delores kept saying the equations were off... Eh, bet she's laughing now."
Soon enough, (name) began drifting off from the conversation as the spirit who was forcefully attached to her was swinging their legs on the table like a child.
"What else is there to say? It's the circle of life."
Five said while walking off, which snapped (name) back to reality as she finished her cup of water. Not saying a word she quickly went back to her old bedroom, she didn't want to answer any of Luther's or anyone's questions as of right now.
—------------------------------
As (name) stared into the mirror, her eyes were greeted with her 16 year old self. Although, she wasn't all that surprised. The domain she created made sure no time was able to pass through which meant she couldn't age, perhaps she might be able to age since she's now back on earth.
Although, she quickly catched on that their adoptive father was dead she felt no remorse for him. After all, he was the reason why she and the others were like this. Traumatised by their training ever since young. After Ben's death, the family was never the same.
(name) sighed as she fiddled with her uniform's clothes, she went up to look at her closet and all she saw was the same umbrella academy uniform with a few nightwear. Right, her father wouldn't allow them to wear anything else other then those two clothes since he thought that attire matters what you are thinking. He basically forced everyone to wear an uniform to put them in the right "mindset" according to him, though fortunately he allowed the children to decorate their room.
She looked up to her clock and saw the time, Luther planned somesort of memorial service for their father as a way of respect even though most of the family members have already lost all respect and love for the bitter old man.
(name) quickly grabbed her black umbrella and went outside to the courtyard where it was still raining , meeting up with Five and Klaus in the process.
