Chapter 9: Epilogue - Ben

Ben is the last one who died or the first one if you only count the members of the Umbrella Academy, who at that time was all Ben really knew. He thought he died young but after meeting his new siblings he has to disagree with himself, six is young. He died with 17 but still too young. He has to thank his tentacle monster for that and his lack of control. He got killed by his own power, not the first one apparently, it still sucks, just for your information.

After meeting Klaus, who really thought he was a totally normal guy who has very animated hallucinations his life or better death changed. He learned that he could have gotten worse powers (sorry Maddison), but also powers his father would have pronounced useless and he really doesn't want to know how it is to grow up in the Umbrella Academy without useful powers.

Still, with all their fighting and rivalry, he misses his siblings and after spending time with his new ones there is only one thing he want them to do. Make sure his new siblings meet his old ones and become a family. With more people, who have awesome abilities there is a greater changes that they can help each other on missions and prevent further deaths in the family.
