Chapter 5: Powers
"Vanya discovered she has powers too. More like her killer-boyfriend provoked the reaction. She couldn't control it. Remember the medication Dad gave her. He used it to suppress her powers and made Allison rumour us into forgetting she had them. Made her think she was ordinary. Well you can imagine how that ended." Benn looks around. "You don't need to imagine it, you see the result. We never treated her right as children and she wouldn't listen to any of us. Without proper control or training her powers took her over, we tried to stop her but you know how well the Umbrella Academy works together. In the end she let some light ray out of her body strong enough to destroy the moon, a huge piece fall onto the earth and yeah here we are." Ben offers with a nod towards the closed (burn down) building that had once been a diner.
"Ben, I can´t waffles in here." Klaus calls out from the destroyed building.
"We can try a supermarket, in the frozen department could be a few waffles." Klaus smiles and walks takes the road to his right, at the end of the road were once a small supermarket.
"Why don't you try to stop him? Talk to him that we have other, more important worries than waffles." Five questions.
"There is no use. He won´t listen, he will ignore me and worst case ban me until he feels like talking to me again." Five and Ben follow Klaus.
"What can we do?" Five should worry about the future but this version of his brother worries him more. As he had left Klaus was this shy, frighten boy. Who just discovered he can make the ghost go away with alcohol and weed. Who hates the dark and small spaces. Who would crawl into his bed (most times Ben´s, Diego´s or Vanya´s) but sometimes he came to him holding onto Five like a lifeline. What happened in all this years he had been away?
"I … Five. I´ve been dead for 12 years, you were gone for nearly 17. After my death Klaus left the Academy. He was already on the hard drugs, he didn't care for his life and more than once died because of his lifestyle choices. The pieces that Klaus is missing can´t be returned to him they are gone. This strange version of him is all that I … is all we have left. I promised him to stay by his side. It doesn't mean I have a solution for it. The only thing I can do is stay."
