Harold had waited for this for many months. Today was finally the day. He would sneak into the Umbrella Academy. He'd made sure to do his recon, and he knew Reginald Hargreeves wouldn't be in the mansion today. He had plans to ensure the Academy itself weren't going to be an issue and once in, he was sure he could slip past their chimp. After all, it was only a monkey, wasn't it?

Once he was in, it wouldn't take him long he was sure to find Hargreeves' office and all the secrets it held. Once he could find something tangible, something that would allow him to tear them apart, he'd get out of there before anyone was the wiser. It would be foolproof, Harold told himself.

The issue after was where he could go. The cabin would soon be a no-go. The police had finally clocked that he had to be here, they knew he'd killed his father and he had very little time before they were onto him. He'd managed to get ahold of a police scanner that told him they were coming, that they were coming for him and his grandmother, a possible accomplice. Once they learnt he'd removed her from the equation as well, he knew he'd have no hope of ever seeing the light of day again as a free man. He had to be gone before the police got there and he had to make sure he never returned.

"All units in the area, neighbours have stated that they saw Harold Jenkins entering his grandmother's cabin yesterday, and nobody has been seen to leave since."

"We'll be there in 15, over." A voice responded and Harold cursed.

Time to abandon ship.

"Why did we come back here?" Hazel asked Cha-Cha as he grabbed a newspaper from the diner table. He and Cha-Cha had used the briefcase the Handler had given her to jump together back to 2003.

"We need to plan. The Commission will be getting back to us with new orders within a matter of days. For now though, we need to lay low, make sure we stay off the radar of those Academy kids."

"Then why did we come back here? Back to the year they came from?" Hazel asked.

"Where better to hide than in plain sight?"

"I get that, but I don't have a bad relationship with them, why would we need to fear them? They just want to be left in peace. They won't come after us if we don't do anything against them." Hazel told Cha-Cha.

"We need to be prepared." Cha-Cha told him. "You never know with those guys, especially that Five."

Hazel nodded at her words, all the time thinking about what he'd do next. Once Cha-Cha let her guard down, and showed him her network, he'd remove her. Once she was gone and her network scattered, he would finally be able to let it all go. He'd never be happy again, how could he be with Agnes gone, but he could finally move on.

"Five, where are you going?" Diego asked as he saw his brother heading towards the door.

"New day, new timeline." Five told him with a smile. "We're finally free, the noose of fate is no longer around our necks and we're free to go and do what we want. I want to explore, have a chance to finally grow up, not become an emotionally stunted man-child like we all were the first time around."

"You're leaving? After everything. After all we did together, all we went through? Y-you're leaving j-just like th-that?" Diego asked him, crossing his arms. "No. You're not r-running out on us again."

"Diego. I don't plan to leave you guys ever again. I spent forty five years in hell due to a rash decision and I don't ever plan to repeat it. I was only planning to go out, see the world a bit. I wasn't even going to be gone for too long, just a few days, at most."

"Let's go."

"I'm sorry, what?" Five asked.

"I'm coming with you. Let's go." Diego told him. "I'll come with you, get out of here, see the world. I've always wanted too as well."

Five looked at him for a moment before sighing.

"Alright. Let's get out of here before Reginald spots us leaving and tries to stop us."

"Vanya, are you in there?" Allison asked as she knocked on Vanya's bedroom door. Opening it, Vanya looked confused at her sister.

"Allison, what's the matter?"

"Have you seen Five and Diego?"

"No? Why, what's happened?" Vanya asked, her mind jumping all over the place, worried about what could have happened.

"I don't know. They're gone, I found a note from Diego saying they'd gone travelling, they'd be back in a few days."

"What's the matter then?" Vanya asked, confused.

"I don't like it. We've only just sorted this apocalypse mess. We don't know if the Commission is gone for good, and we really shouldn't be seperating now we're back under dad's roof again." Allison told her as Vanya nodded. That made sense.

"All we can do is trust them to be safe and come back soon." Vanya told her. "They can handle themselves, and whilst they're gone, you and I can make sure Klaus and Luther behave." Allison giggled at that.

"That's almost as bad as preventing the apocalypse." Vanya whined in a good natured tone as the two of them laughed.

Jaakobah Apollyon looked over at his new surroundings. It had taken a while to get here, but finally, he was here. Back in the big city. Here, he could finally achieve all his dreams and goals that had seemed to be in his mind for his entire life. Here he could finally make his mark on the world. All he had to do, was figure out exactly what that was going to be and how he'd achieve it. Firstly, he'd need to find a place to live and a way to earn money to survive. Once he had that, the world would be his oyster.

"Hello young man, are you lost?" A kindly old lady asked, seeing Jaakobah looking all around his surroundings.

"Oh, sorry Ma'am, a little." He admitted, scratching the back of his head. "I was wondering if you know where I could find a library? I need to look up some relatives of mine, at least I think they may be, I need their help."

"Oh you poor dear, the library is just down the road. Who is it you're looking for, may I ask?"

"It'll sound silly, but the Umbrella Academy. I'm pretty sure we're related."

"What makes you say that?" She asked, geniunely curious as to why this boy would believe he's related to superheroes.

"Well, this." Jaakobah admitted, pulling a bird from his pocket. Looking at the bird, the woman could see it wasn't breathing.

"Young man..."She started as Jaakobah looked at her.

"Just wait." He told her with a smile. Before her eyes, she saw the birds chest begin to rise and fall once again, and it twitched in his hand.

"How did you do that?" She asked him hoaresly.

"I've always been able too." Jaakobah told her. "I believe I can bring back the dead."
