Past? Future? Another universe?

by RandomIDK4

After escaping the Sparrow timeline, the Umbrella Academy finds themselves back to their original timeline... or so they thought. Meanwhile, the Hargreeves were celebrating the death of their father, when one of them sensed an anomaly in the fabrics of the universe. How will the Umbrella Academy react to their alternate selves? Is the apocalypse inevitable?

4. Chapter 4

Warning: swearing

When he was dropped out of the portal, he found himself in an alleyway. Despite having a massive headache, he got up and walked out of the alleyway. The alleyway led to a sidewalk. It was daytime, so the streets were full of people. After a while, he recognized the shops around and knew that he wasn't far from the academy, around 10 minutes if he walked. Speaking of the academy, where were his siblings? They were supposed to land with him this time. Did they get separated again? He was sure he had the right equations this time.. Did he fail? He brushed off the thought for now and decided that getting to the academy was the best option for now.

As he walked along the streets, he got weird glances from the people. He knew that with how he looked right now, this was bound to happen, but he was still quite annoyed. In the end, he kept to himself since causing a scene would make him stand out more than he already has.

Minutes pass and he found himself infront of the academy's gate. He stared at it for a moment, since this was his first time seeing it properly after the past few weeks. He noticed that the mansion had umbrella markings on it. He smiled. Although it was small and unnoticeable, there was a smile. Suddenly the sky rumbled. He took another moment before finally deciding to enter the house.

He was just about to open the door when he heard sounds coming from inside. He took out the knife that he had brought with him from the sparrow timeline, and quietly open the door. He knew he couldn't use his powers, so he had to fight the old fashioned way. Fortunately, no one heard him open the door.

"WHAT!?"

He stopped. Those were his siblings' voices. Thank god! They were okay, and apparently in the academy, he will ask them about this later. Although he knew that the voices were his 'siblings', he still held the knife in his hand, incase he was wrong.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'END OF THE WORLD'!?"

Five froze. End of the world? Did they bring another doomsday with them again? How long do they have until it happens? Another week? Days? Shitshitshitshitshit SHIT

The Hargreeves don't know how to react. The end of the WORLD!? No, that couldn't happen... right?

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'END OF THE WORLD'!?"

Before any of the alternates could answer, a sound came from the hall. It was the sound of a knife hitting the ground. They all turned towards the hall expecting someone or something to barge in, but there was nothing. Both parties waited a few more seconds before getting up and walking to the hall to find out what had made the noise.

Once they exited the foyer, they saw something they would've never expected. There stood a young boy wearing a suit, with a knife on the ground beside him. Well, at least they know where the noise came from, but who the hell was the boy?

"Five?"

A/N: That's the end of chapter 4! Majority of this chapter was Five's Pov because we haven't heard from him for 3 chapters, so I decided to include my favorite lil assassin this chapter. Fun fact, I had two versions that I wanted for this chapter but decided on the more canonical one rather than the OOC one. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it!
