   Summary

   Loosely based on The Umbrella Academy. Like, really loose.
   He kept telling himself that he was done with being a hero. (Actually, in some strange twist of fate at the end of time, he had literally told himself to stop saving the world.) After stumbling into this time and place, he had finally managed some semblance of normalcy, or at least the world wasn’t trying to end itself every four days. Perhaps that was only because he wasn’t aware of it, but still. If he played his cards right, retirement would finally be well within his reach, and the quiet of the universe had begun to suit him just fine.
