Unnumbered Future Selves
(The Umbrella Academy Fanfiction)
Everyone seemed to be freeze as they turned to see Number Two with his hand still raised, having thrown the knife. He refused to look in his father's direction.
"T-t-that's mean that they become our problem" said Number Two, already reaching for another knife. Diego smirked and grabbed his own knives. Luther turned to Grace, "Can you go get Five, make sure he's okay." Grace looked at Reginald, who nodded. "And go get the two minibuses ready. I give you permission to leave the house. None of us can stay here until we get this sorted."
Meanwhile, the children all nodded to one another and number four and seven ducked while the children and their future counterparts started to fight. Reginald, Pogo and Vanya joined them.
"What is that idiot doing?" asked Reginald, watching as Klaus grabbed a gun and quickly joined them. He proceeded to shoot, aim true, into the knees of the men. Number Four stared at his future self in shock.
"Klaus" called Younger Ben, and Number Four turned to see a random ghost grabbing his dead brother and pulling him into the battlefield.
"Hey" Number Four called but was held by back Number Seven. Klaus looked over at him.
"It's okay, Mini Me" he said, "fun fact. If a ghost is close to the people who can see it, it can also grow up at the same time. Did you know that? Doubt it, cos I sure didn't."
Number Four eye's widened as he stared at the older ghost, who was clearly Ben from the future.
"So wait, Ben came back with you?" Number Four asked shocked, ignoring the looks he got from his father, Pogo and sister. The older Vanya was watching, discreetly gesturing but Number Four didn't see what she was actually doing beyond that.
Number Seven froze. Did he just see Ben? She looked at her brother, who was staring at his future self in shock. Klaus winked, "you might want to look out there, buttercup." The children, and their guardians - who were all frowning, looked out but only Number Four could see the two Bens standing in the middle of the fight. The older Ben was quickly explaining something to the younger Ben, Number Six, who looked fearful, then shocked, then impressed, then confused and, with a look at the two Number Fours, determined.
He nodded once.
"Duck!" Klaus screamed as his hands went blue. The adults pulled the children down when the two Bens appeared in his blue ghostly glory.
And he released the Horror.
Reginald stared in mouth open shock. Since when could Number Four actually be able conjure the spirits to their realm?
When the last man was dead, the horror's returned to the homes while, still corporeal, the two Ben's look in the direction of the group. The younger one had a mildly sick look on his face while the older one had a big smile on his face with a thumbs up. Both groups looks at the older Ben in shock. And the younger group stared in shock at the younger Ben.
Both forms gave off a wispy blue.
"Sorry guys and gals" said Klaus as he went white and the light vanished, "still fairly new at this." Everyone looked from Klaus to where their dead brothers had stood. Now there was an empty spot to then.
Number Four ran to the younger Ben.
"You okay?" he asked. Younger Ben nodded, and then look to his future.
"Seems like I get a personality change after I die. I'm still not used to this" said Number Six.
The older Ben had walked over to his siblings, who were all looking over Klaus.
"Watch out" he called eventhough they couldn't hear him, "dead guy walking through you."
"Yeah, you seem happier" said Number Four. Number Six went pale as a hand grab Number Four's shoulder.
"Seem's you've been keeping secrets" his father said to him.
Number Four looked up at him, a little scared.
"Dad, can you do that later?" Luther asked, noticing what his father was doing, "we don't know if they'll come back with more but Mom has the minibuses ready to go."
Reginald nodded. He released Number Four and clapped his hands.
"Go to the minibuses, we'll be going to stay elsewhere for a while" he ordered. The children all nodded, grabbed their coats and left.
"Boy are they going to get a fright" laughed Klaus as he hung of off Diego's shoulder's.
Diego chuckled as they too left to grab the second minibus. Seeing that Grace had lay Five down at the back of their bus while she was sitting in the second one, the children hadn't noticed him. Diego climbed into the driver's seat after laying Klaus down on two seats. Allison walked up to Five and lay her coat over him She felt his temperature, and saw that he was getting warmer. HE should be waking up soon then.
Pogo climbed into the driver's eat of seat of the first bus. He looked back at Reginald, who nodded, and he drove away, Diego followed behind.
