Summary:

On October 1, 1989, 43 women around the world give birth simultaneously, despite none of them showing any sign of pregnancy until labor began.

Eight of the 43 children are adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, and turned into a superhero team through what he calls "The Umbrella Academy".

Salem 'Babydoll' Hargreeves was one of those eight children but now she and what's left of her "siblings" (Or what she likes to call her 'god awful childhood roommates') are all grown up and her "father" has died. Now, Babydoll must return home for the first time since she was 16 and face her past and her "siblings."

Chapter 1: The Suck Ass Life of Salem "Babydoll" Mariana Hargreeves

Chapter Text

The life of Salem 'Babydoll' Mariana Hargreeves was not that of a normal one, it was a life of pain and suffering, secrets and sins, death and demons. While that seems dramatic, it's true.

The woman was a mystery from birth, born to a mother who wasn't pregnant when the day first began, then adopted into a family of super humans. Disappeared at 15, never to be heard from again until the mysterious death of her dictator- I mean, 'father'.

There are a lot of words people would use to describe Number eight when she was growing up, a freak, a witch, a lost cause and her personal favorite, a demon straight from hell. Though, according to her family, she was the weakest person in the family, weaker than Vanya but in reality Babydoll is probably the strongest, she's a necromancer and elementalist but being a 'demon', she has a hard time controlling her powers.

 

At 15, Number eight ran away from home, leaving her mom, 'siblings' and lover behind, no one is sure why she ran, well, no one except Number two. Number eight and Number two both swore that the truth of that night would never come to light.

But it's The Umbrella Academy, do secrets ever really stay hidden?

 

 

Nope.
