Chapter 1: In The Beginning.
I only own Number 8 (The Nightmare) [Also Eight is a girl]
On the same day in October 1989, forty-three infants were born across the globe to forty-three individual women. All 43 women showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Sir Reginald Hargreeves set out to 'adopt' as many of the children as possible.
He got 8.
He made 7 of the children apart of a crime-fighting team called the Umbrella Academy. Why only 7 you ask? Vanya Hargreeves seemed to be ordinary.
The Umbrella Academy got big. They were known to their 'father' as Number 1, Number 2, Number 3, Number 4, Number 5, Number 6, Number 7 and Number 8.
But to the rest of the world, they were known as Spaceboy (1), The Kraken (2), The Rumor (3), The Seance (4), The Boy (5), The Horror (6) and The Nightmare (8).
But 6 of them went to their 'mother', Grace, asking to be renamed. Number 1 became Luther, Number 2 became Diego, Number 3 became Allison, Number 4 became Klaus, Number 6 became Ben, Number 7 became Vanya. Five and Eight didn't ask for names.
Years after, all of the children had reasons for leaving. Hate, unsatisfaction, fear and neglect.
The fate of Ben was horror. He lost his life in one of the academy's missions. Five used his 'talent' to travel through time and wasn't heard from again. Eight and Luther stayed behind to carry upon the Umbrella Academy.
Until the accident.
Luther and Eight suffered unfortunate accidents which they survived from. Luther had a horrific transformation, as the accident left Eight paralysed from the waist down. This is their story.
