Summary
I think we've come too far for an epilogue. But this was once part of the epilogue (So; yay! We made it.) The gang, after growing up and leaving the academy, and then growing up some more, must come together to celebrate everyone's least favorite dead guy. Secrets, feelings and surprises ensue.
This is the third installment (out of four-ish) of Anthem.

Summary
Five Hargreeves, born to a normal family in a world where some people have powers, lived with his mom, her second husband, Jeff, and his siblings Diego and Harper. He was fourteen when he got stuck in the apocalypse that wiped out his family for 20 years. The Camera Obscura (Latin for the future) fished him out – but then his body was fourteen again, even though he remained 34 years old. Thirteen years later, they regularly send him into different dimensions to kill people and either provoke or prevent apocalypses. He doesn’t know which or why, and he doesn’t care.
Lila Pitts is the adopted daughter of one of the higher ups at the Camera after her parents are killed during a break-in. Though trained as an Assassin, Lila worked in Infiltration her whole career. She goes largely unnoticed at the Camera. She’s great at pretending to be other people but bad at seeing red flags. When she met Diego, he was nice to her, listened to her. It only took that much to make her fall for him.
Now our assassin Five, a different Five than the one she knows, turns up at her wedding with a bizarre assignment. Five and Lila have to team up to figure out what’s going on.

Summary
For those who read and loved Anthem and wanted to see what happened next, I offer Terzetto, 14k split into chapters. Is there a happy ending? Yes. Is there a lot of angst and romance before then? Also yes.
In this timeline, Lila Hargreeves was Number 8 at the Umbrella Academy and grew up playing physics with. On the last summer at the Academy, Lila and Five engaged in an experiment that changed everything.
In Terzetto, see Lila and Five's early adulthood -- they save each other, learn some things and flirt. Good luck, kids!

Summary
The Umbrella Academy is just the same except for one little difference. Lila Pitts is number 8. It changes everything.
The summer they are seventeen, she decides that most of what Reg has taught them is horseshit and since they’ve never had a summer, they’re going to make their own.
“I was just thinking about summer,” Lila said, dreamy.
“Like what?”
“Like we’ve never had one.”
“So what’ll it look like?”
“Sneaking out as much as possible. Maybe we’ll go to the beach?”

Summary
Lila hesitates an extra half second in the subway, and things go very differently.
Dave was just trying to pick up dinner ingredients on the way home from work. He had ground hamburger meat, onions and a jar of pickles in his basket and was headed to the bakery section for a bag of buns, when he turned a corner and nearly ran into the second-to-last person in the world that he would ever want to see.
Adrenaline spiking, he stepped smoothly backwards into the previous aisle, set his basket down on the floor, and left the grocery store immediately. He could get take-out tonight.
What the hell was Klaus Hargreeves doing here?!
(Hey everybody! We have an interdimensional subway now! A happy ending for Dave and Klaus is back on the table!)

Summary
Five is chronologically challenged.
Ever since he was five years old, Five has been time travelling uncontrollably to different points in his and Klaus’ lives - whether he has experienced them already or not. The displacements were mostly harmless when he was a child, and an older Klaus would sneak him out for doughnuts - but they became a lot more important after he stranded himself in the apocalypse, figuring out how to survive, and how to stop it all from ever happening.
Or: How would Five’s survival in the apocalypse, and his mission to save his family, be affected if he couldn’t control his time-travelling?
