A/N - Hello everyone. This is kinda new for me, but I thought it would be fun to try it. I'm not sure how far I'm going to take this seeing as I haven't seen all of Season 1 of UA yet, so we'll just see how this goes. I might need to binge watch it soon.
Cassie had just walked in her house when she heard the news. Her roommate had the TV on.
"Reclusive billionaire Reginald Hargreeves found dead" was the headline.
Cassie gasped. Did Klaus know yet? Or Diego?
"Hargreeves? Isn't that Klaus' last name?" Mina asked.
"Uh, yeah", she said.
"Maybe you should call him".
"No, I'll head over in the morning. He needs to be with his siblings right now".
"Girl, he's getting out of rehab and his father died. Your husband is gonna need some lovin'".
Cassie rolled her eyes. "Not my husband", she sang.
Klaus and Cassie weren't married, but they might as well have been. Klaus referred to her as his wife in front of other people, so she went along with it. Her phone started ringing.
"Husband?" Mina asked.
"Brother-in-law", she said, seeing Diego's name. She answered the phone and went in her room.
"Hey", he said.
"Hey, how you holdin' up?" Her relationship with Diego was complicated to say the least.
He had a thing for her growing up, but ultimately she chose Klaus. He respected her choice, but still held a torch for her. "I'm at the house".
"Okay. I'll be there in the morning. You heard from anyone yet?"
"Not yet, but it's only a matter of time. I guess I'll see you tomorrow".
"Yeah".
As soon as Diego hung up, her phone started ringing again. This time it was Klaus.
"Hey baby".
Cassie sighed. "Are you high already?"
"Yep! Did you hear the overlord is dead?"
"Yeah, I just got off the phone with Diego".
Klaus scoffed.
"Hey, I chose you remember?" she said. She did not want to cause a fight between the brothers again.
"Look, when can I see you?"
Cassie smiled. "Did you miss me?"
"Course I missed you".
"I'll see you tomorrow, okay? I…kinda want to be with you and Diego. You understand right?"
Klaus was silent for a moment. "Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you".
"I love you too, Ouija boy".
She heard his bark of laughter as she hung up the phone.
The next day, she stood on the steps of the Umbrella Academy. She shivered, thinking of how close she had come to being enrolled there. She shook away the thought and went inside.
"Cassie!" Allison said, surprised.
"Hey".
"Umm…Diego was here, but he left for a bit. We haven't seen Klaus yet".
"How are you?"
"Holding on".
"Cassie!"
Cassie spun around in time for Diego to grab her and spin her around in a hug. "Hey, you act like you haven't seen me in ages", she said.
"Feels like it". He was still as gorgeous as she remembered. Spiked up dark brown hair, olive skin, and dark brown eyes.
"Hey, would you mind not putting the moves on my wife?"
Cassie's heart started beating out of her chest as she turned around. She ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him. Her fingers buried themselves in his brown curls.
Diego rolled his eyes and left the lovebirds alone.
Allison blushed and turned her head.
"I've missed you so much", Klaus told her when they broke apart. He was scruffier than when he went into rehab and his pupils were wide.
She subtly turned her head to see Ben standing there. "Hey Ben", she whispered. She felt Klaus tense up.
"Cassie", he said.
"I'm gonna go start sorting out my inheritance", Klaus said, pulling away from her.
She knew she had touched a nerve by acknowledging Ben's presence, but it wasn't her fault that her power was amplified by his.
"What was that about?" Allison asked.
"You know Klaus", Cassie said, "He gets into these moods. It's fine. I think I'll go say hi to Pogo". Cassie went into the living room and stared up at the picture of Five above the mantle.
So he still hadn't been found.
"Cassandra?" Pogo asked.
"It's Cassie, Pogo. You know that", she said. She knelt down and hugged him.
"It's good to see you. I expect you'll be coming around more often".
"That's the plan anyway. Who knows? I might move in".
"Do they know yet?"
"No, but I suspect they will by the end of the day".
"We could help you, you know".
"I know and I appreciate that Pogo". Yes, her secret would be out by the end of the day. Cassie could feel it.
