And yes the apocalypse is coming. An Umbrella Academy story doesn't feel right without a nice world ending apocalypse. There is some small sibling squabbling. Anyways enjoy.

"What do you mean the end of the world?" Allison demanded.

"When I jumped to the future I saw the world on fire. Quit literally. Everything was destroyed and on fire including the Academy. I found your bodies. All of yours except the twins. At the time I didn't know to look for them but I assume you had them somewhere safe." He said, taking Vanya's hands in his own.

"Why didn't you just jump back?" Luther asked.

"If it was that easy do you think I would have stayed as long as I did." He growled. "After eight years I managed to jump back." He smiled at Vanya while Klaus was making a gaging noise next to Diego. "But somehow I was pulled back forty-eight hours later. Delores did say the equation was off."

"Delores?" Vanya asked trying not to sound jealous.

"A mannequin I found amongst the rubble. Only companion I had for a long time."

"And this mannequin talked?" Diego asked.

"Most likely not but being alone for years will make you a little crazy."

"So this mannequin was like your girlfriend." Diego caught the pillow before it could hit his boyfriend in the face. "Hey! Vanya! Rude!"

"Then shut up!" She hissed.

"Jealous of a mannequin?" Klaus smirked.

"I will murder you."

"Timid little Vanya thinks she can hurt me." He laughed.

"My violin bow can do more than just play music." She said with an uncharacteristic evil smirk.

"Save me." Klaus squeaked as he hid behind Diego.

"This morning I was finally able to come back. I was hoping to come back after the funeral. I wanted nothing more to do with that old man."

"Speaking of the funeral we should probably get to spreading dad's ashes." Allison said.

"Do we have to." Klaus whined.

"Come on." Diego said as he pulled him up.

They all walked out under umbrellas as the rain poured down on them.

"Whenever you're ready, dear boy." Pogo told Luther.

Luther took the lid of the ern and they unceremoniously fell to the ground in a pile.

"Should we say something?" Vanya asked.

"I guess I can." Luther said. "Dad was always,"

"Dad was a jackass." Diego said.

"Yes he was. Now if you excuse me. I'm gonna take my family and go find a decent cup of coffee." Five said as he held on to Vanya's hand and pulled her inside the house.

After upstairs to get their children, they all walked the few blocks over to Griddy's.

"What a lovely family." The waitress smiled. "What can I get you guys?"

"Two coffees. One black and one with three creams and three sugars." Vanya smiled at Five remembering how she liked her coffee. "And two hot chocolates?" He asked the children. They both smiled.

"I want a jelly donut." Rosie said.

"Me too!" Little Ben said excitedly.

"And a jelly donut for my mini me and his twin." Five smiled. After the waitress walked away Five turned back to his two children. "You know when we were young your mother and I used to sneak out of the house with your aunts and uncles, come here and just eat donuts till we puked." He smiled and Vanya laughed at the memories.

"Can we eat donuts until we puke?" Little Ben asked.

"No you can't." Vanya said with a smile as the waitress came back with their order. She handed her a twenty and told her to keep the change.

Five listened with a smile as Ben and Rosie told him about their school and friends.

After an hour Five looked up when Vanya froze and pulled Ben closer to her. In the reflection of his mug he saw a gun pointed at him and his family. "Let's make this easy. You think I wanna shoot a man in front of his children and go home with that on my conscience? They just wanna talk."

"Okay this is what's gonna happen." He said in a calm voice. "I am going to step out of the booth and my girlfriend is going to take my children home. Then we can," he smirked, "talk." The gunman nodded slowly. Five walked Vanya and their children over to the door and whispered, "Run back to the academy and stay there. The others can protect you." Vanya nodded before turning and running back towards the academy holding her children's hands as tightly as she could.

"Now you won't be going home with anything on your conscience because you won't be going home." He smiled.
