17 Years Ago

📍 Capital West Bank

In five, four, three, two...This is Jim Hellerman, reporting live for Channel 2 News outside of the Capital West bank at Main and Sixth. A group of heavily armed men stormed the bank not three hours ago and took an unknown number of hostages.

 "Hey, get them behind the counter!", a man instructed his partner while holding a phone. Suddenly the alram started blaring and he joined in on the act. "Now you've put me in a position where I gotta do something I don't want to do. Hmm?-SHIT!"

A teenage girl with curly hair then entered the scene walking about like nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

"Hey, get back with the others.", the man threatened

"I heard a rumor.", she said.

"What? What did you say?"

"I heard a rumor that you shot your friend in the foot.", she whispered and her sound resonated in the robberer's ears and his eyes went white. He then turned to his partner and shot his foot making everyone else scream.

"We just heard shots from inside the bank. It's uncertain if any hostages have been harmed in that."


"Up there!"


"There's some movement on the roof. Possibly law enforcement."

A blonde boy fell from above into the bank beind the counter. He grabs the near-by robber and slams him on the edge and throws him off


"Looks like one of the armed robbers has been thrown from the bank."

"Guns are for sissies. Real men throw knives.",number 2 two says appearing out of no where and throwing two knives that changed their direction and stab a man.

"I've been in many hostage situations, like this, and it can escalate very quickly."

Outside two children, a boy and a girl holding bags of groceries stop near the crowd outside he bank to see what the commotion was about. They push their way to the front to witness all that was happening.

"Get back, you freaks.", a man spoke holding his gun at the strange children.

"Hey, be careful up there, buddy.", 2 spoke

"Get back now!", the man said as they neared.

"Wouldn't want you to get hurt.", number 3 said

"Or what?", number 5 says blinking behind the man in a sitting position. The man releases a shot and five blinks away reappearing behind him. The man turns around ready to shoot only to find his gun was replaced by a stapler.

" Ooh! That's one badass stapler!", he ridicules before hitting his head with it knocking him out.

"Although there's been no activity for a few minutes, we're gonna stay live on location to make sure we don't miss anything in this hostage situation at the Capital West bank."


"Oh no", the h/c girl said turning to her brother.

"What's wrong?", he asked.

"Dad was supposed to go to the bank today, do you think he'll be okay?", she asks.

"I hope so.", the boy answers and turns his attention back to the bank.


"Do we really have to do this?", number 6 asked

"Come on, Ben. There's more guys in the vault.", number one said tryong to convince him

"I didn't sign up for this.", six says before sighing and going inside. Screams could be heard and tentacles were seen ripping apart people and blood splattered on the windows.

"Now we see the hostages. They... They're free. They're scared, clearly, but they do seem to be unharmed."


"Thank God.", the girl and her brother sighed.


"Can we go home now?", six asks stepping outside drenched in blood.

"People are coming out now. It's not the armed robbers. These are young school children in uniforms with masks on."

The two children eye the kids in nice fancy uniforms standing

"Our world is changing. Has changed. There are some among us gifted with abilities far beyond the ordinary. I have adopted six such children. I give you the inaugural class of the Umbrella Academy.", an elder man wearing a monocle spoke after stepping behind the children

"Mr. Hargreeves! Mr. Hargreeves. Channel 9 News."

"What happened to their parents?"

"They were suitably compensated."


"Are you concerned about the welfare of the children?"

"Of course."

"As I am for the fate of the world."

Suddenly a 2 men emerged from the crowd and grabbed the children and dragged them away from the crowd making the grocery bags fall. The crowd gasps and the umbrella academy stands alert. 

"Let us go!", the boy screamed.

"Stand back", the man holding the girl threatened with his and his patner's gun pointed at the children's skull. Number Five and one step forward and are about to do something when the situation takes a turn.

The girl bites the man's hand and elbows him in his groin freeing herself. She then runs to her brother and forms a knife in her hands, glowing made up of some blue energy, and stabs the other man in the back causing him to let the boy go. The crowd gasps and the academy along with Sir Reginald are left speechless. 

The s/c girl then kneels down next to her brother and the knife disappears while number 1 drags the robberers away. 

"You okay?", she asks and the boy nods. "We gotta get outta here", she says and they dash away.
