Chapter Text
This day couldn't get anymore worse than it already is, the day was dark and gloomy, I got fired from my job, my brothers havent arrived and sir Reginald Hargreeves has passed away. I had my arms crossed over my chest and stared down at his lifeless body lying on his bed.
I breathed in and out slowly and pinched the bridge of my nose, "Pogo, when did this happen?" I glance down and see him staring at my father rather sadly.
"Just a few hours ago miss Emily. You were fast asleep checking your grades when I went into his room and he was unresponsive. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything." He apologizes. I sigh and patted his shoulder and left him so he'd have some alone time.
Closing the door to his room I stared up ahead without any emotion and slowly fell down to the floor and held my head. He really is gone. I lifted my head up and looked at my mom Grace staring outside the window as it continued to lightly rain. I felt my emotions running through me as I aimlessly wandered around the academy and stopped by to that familar portrait.
"I'm sure you're having a hell of a time, huh?" He always disliked Reginald, most of us did. The academy has been awfully quiet since everyone of my brothers left
Luther is up on the moon on some mission.
Diego comes from time to time.
Allison is having the time of her life living as an actress.
Vanya is a writer and has been doing a rehearsal so she can play the violin on a show.
Klaus is..well himself. Trying to get his life back together from time to time.
Ben is dead.
And Five has disappeared since we were both 15.
My life is just great. "I wonder if news has gotten out about it." I tell myself and turned on the t.v. and indeed news got out about my father's death. Might as well get dressed for the funeral and make sure everyone comes back safe.

I blow dried my pink short hair, applied just regular eyeliner and dressed myself in a black dress long sleeve dress with a leather jacket, ripped tights and my matching black converse. Just when I stepped out I saw Diego pass by me with saying anything and stepping into our fathers bedroom.
"Nice to see you too." I sarcastically tell him when he didn't even bothered in saying hi. He ignored me and began looking into his desk and his bed.
"Have you seen his monocle?" Diego asks instead not meeting my eyes.
"Really? You step into my home and don't even bother in checking how your sister has been doing? I defend myself and he finally stands up straight and looks at me.
"This is my home too, Em. I have every right to be here."
"Hey no need to talk about her like that." Another voice from behind me sees. I look up to see Luther and smiled at him when he side hugged me.
"How've you been sis?"
"A bit better actually." I reply and glared at Diego one last time before stepping out of the room and running into Allison.
"Allison?" I ask in disbelief when I saw her standing a few feet from me. We step closer and hugged each other, "Em, its been a long time." She says smiling at me and we look at one another.
"It has huh?" "You should've given me your number to call you once in a while." Allison holds my hand and my smile fades a little.
"I did give it to you back then when we saw each other." Allison closes her eyes remembering and instantly regretting saying that. "I'm so sorry, I've been so busy with works that I-"
I shake my head and force a smile, "Don't worry I understand. I did love your last movie though." I compliment and she smiles.
"Thanks, good to know I have someone watching my stuff. I'll check up the guys and see how things are going." She looks up and I can't tell she'll also have the same problem as me.
"Hey, Em. Love that dress mind lending it to me sometime? Of course you'll do, you've always been nice to me." Klaus said appearing out of no where and hugging me.
I hugged him back and smiled, "It's so nice to see you again." Klaus lovingly stares down at me as he holds my shoulders.
"You know I'll always be there for my little sis.. speaking of being there for each other, could you probably lend me 30 bucks?" I laugh and gently slapped his cheek. "No way, Klaus. I'm doing you a favor." With that I left Klaus who pouted his lips and began running upstairs as well.
The front door opened and I made eye contact with Vanya. "Vanya." I whispered her name and ran up to hug her which caught her off guard but she hugged me back.
"I missed you so much." I whisper and looked down at her. Vanya slowly nodded and checked the place around, "Missed you too sis, its a shame we had to reunite like this." She awkwardly says as Pogo step between us and greets her too.
"It's really good to see you again miss Vanya. I'm sure you're father would've been proud to see all of you back again." Pogo says as I listen to their conversation and walked with them to the living room area but stared far from them.
"It's been so long since his disappearance." I hear Vanya say and looking up at that portrait I was looking at earlier. Pogo does as well. "It sure has. I remember you and miss Emily staying up every night hoping he'd come back and you leaving his favorite treat in hopes that he'd return."
I sadly stare at them and just admire them from a far. Once this is over we'll go back to our separate lives and see each other in probably a year or so, its a shame our family has come to this. I really missed all of them and in just a hours they'll be gone again.

"I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound"
The academy was filled with the melody and I couldn't help but dance as best as I could. I moved my head up and down and got down to my knees and played on my imaginary guitar.
" Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're-"
The song continued so I ran my way over to Vanya and excitedly grabbed her hands and spun her around, "W-Whoa slow down." Vanya said trying to not smile instead she got all worried but held my hands tight so she wouldn't fall off.
"Come on let's dance like old times!" I happily told her. Might as well have fun till she's still her. I resumed my previous so called dance and Vanya awkwardly resumed to her dance. We couldn't help but laugh and have a good time with each other.
"I remember you used to head bang a lot when we had made that band back then." Vanya jokes and I can't but feel embarrassed.
"Don't even remind me of that time. Everyone said our music was too loud." I shout back from the loud music.
Vanya and I back then formed a band, she of course played the violin and I the electric guitar, so day the least father wasn't pleased so the band went no where when we stopped playing. Still it's nice to have those memories when we were growing up.
I'm kinda glad Reginald adopted us cause if it weren't for them I'd be lost.
Suddenly the flights flickered on and off and we heard a loud boom coming from outside. Vanya and I looked at each other and saw Klaus running past us, "Coming through!"
We followed him and then everyone of us got out and stood close to each other when there was a cold breeze and some sort of portal came from above us.
"What the hell is that?!""
"Take that!" Klaus shouted from behind me and ran up to throw a fire extinguisher at it. "What's that even for?!" Allison asked and Klaus threw his arms up.
"How should I know?" There was another boom and Klaus ran to hide behind me and held onto my shoulders. We all stared above us and saw someone coming through the portal, the figure then fell and slowly we all got closer and the person slowly stood up and we all starsd at him. Not believing this as happening.
Five? We all stared at each other then back at him. "Is it just me or are we seeing little Five?" Diego said.
Five looked down at himself then us in disbelief, "Shit."
