𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐀 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐆𝐎 and the rest of the siblings standing there on the threshold of the barn doors. Lila looked at Diego with a scared look seeing that the truth will unravel itself pretty soon.

Diego was walking in front of everyone and Y/n was close enough to him. As Y/n walked with Diego, she looked at Lila now with a new look: as a sibling, she never knew she had. It felt weird but at the same time, it felt like something was finally completed inside of her.

But since Lila ignored Y/n's look since she kept looking at Diego, the girl looked over at Five. She started slowly walking over to him and away from Diego as the others slowly approached Lila with Diego continuing to talk.

"The Handler stole you, Lila. Just like our asshole father took all of us."

Lila still kept pointing her knife towards the same direction she was looking so she turned to the siblings hoping that wasn't true. "No. It's not the same thing."

"You're right. Because he didn't have our parents murdered." Diego corrected himself which was not really right from Y/n's perspective. "Listen to me, Lila. You were born on October 1st, 1989, the same day as all of us. You and Y/n are also probably long-lost siblings."

"What?"Lila's voice trembled as she turned to Y/n in disbelief, not believing that Y/n could be her sister. That thought could have never crossed her mind. The fact that the two of them actually share their parents seemed surreal.

"We both have the same power. Which is probably most likely that we are...sisters." Y/n explained to her with a small smile at the end as she stopped walking towards Five and stopped to add to Diego.

Lila looked at Y/n with a hopeful look that warmed Y/n's heart to the deepest roots. Now they were talking for the first time as sisters and they felt nice.

But Diego cut that sweet moment off which was going to be a mistake. "And you know that-"

But since Diego was coming closer to Lila more she couldn't handle the pressure. "Stay back!"

Everyone that was still standing on the threshold of the farm ran in and stretched their arms out in order to calm her down. Diego also did the same and Y/n took the opportunity to run next to Five.

"Hey! Hey, stop! Wait. Wait. Hey! Lila. Lila, stop." Diego tried to calm her at the same time Five and Y/n slightly embraced each other.

Five pulled away and took Y/n by her hands and checked if she was hurt from up and down. But the girl only glanced at him before looking back at all the hell-breaking lose.

"I trusted you. I got you a job, I even introduced you to my mother, and then you took off on me." Lila said as she kept her knife fidgeting in the air with her tears starting to form in her eyes once again.

"Because I needed to go save the world!" Diego almost cut Lila off. She stared at him in disbelief thinking how could he exchange her for the world but deep down understanding that he might be correct. "She's using you, Lila. The Handler."

"You're wrong. She raised me. She loves me." Lila kept trying to prove her incorrect point, not wanting to believe Diego.

"Yeah, you know what?" Luther tuned in which caused Lila to turn her head at him. "Love shouldn't have to hurt this much."

Y/n rolled her eyes and scoffed whispering to herself. "God, Luther..."

Lila waited for a couple of seconds looking at Luther's ridiculous statement. So her being the sassy and stubborn woman that she is, she just pointed her finger into her mouth and gaged to show that it was disgusting and pathetic.

"All right, I tried."

"He's right. We have to kill her." Five let go of Y/n's hand and started slowly coming towards Lila from the back. Y/n immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him back to her the same time Diego extended his arm and yelled at him.

"Hey! Five! Five, stop." Five got back to Y/n and looked at her in confusion and back at Diego. "I got it. Hey, Lila." Lila turned back to him. "Truth? She's dangerous. And you're scared of what she'll do with all that new power. That's why you dragged me to the Commission. Because I know what it's like to love dangerous people. Difference is..." Diego looked around at his siblings who all gave him sympathetic looks. "...they love me back."

Lila instantly pointed her knife up at Diego once again from the ground. "Shut up."

"The only thing she loves is power. Now, the minute she can't use you, she will turn on you, and deep down, I know you know that." Diego came even closer to Lila. Now her knife was pointing directly to his chest.

"You don't know me, Diego."

Diego came so close to Lila that her knife was pressing against his chest. "Don't I?"

They both stared at one another with their breath letting out smoke as Lila's eyes finally let out those tears run down her cheeks.

"I know that we can be your family...if you just let us. Even though, you already are our family to some of us." Diego looked at Y/n past Lila as the girl smiled.

Lila turned to Y/n and stared at her for a couple of seconds. Then she turned to Vanya, Klaus, Allison, Luther, all smiling at her.

She knew that they were her real family. Not only had she loved Diego and was sisters with Y/n, but they could welcome her to the Umbrella Academy if she would just rethink everything.

But just when Lila was about to reconsider her decision of working for The Handler and think about getting back to her long-lost sister, everything that we could call progress, was gone.

The automatic gunfire sound filled the air as The Handler came into the farm and fired her gun at the siblings. They all dropped dead as blood spewed from their bodies.

But The Handler didn't shoot Lila. Instead, Lila dropped to the ground and covered her head with the hand that she held her knife with.

She looked at her mother who was standing there proudly as she lowered her gun.

Lila crawled over to Diego's side as her voice trembled. "Diego, no..." She touched his body seeing the pool of blood surrounding his head.

The Handler walked inside the farm and over to Lila who was hunched over on Diego. "Aww."

Lila sat up and sniffled. "It's true what Five said, isn't it? And the fact that Y/n's my sister?"

"Darling, I need to know that we can get past this, be a happy family again. Hmm?" The Handler evilly smiled hoping that she could outsmart her daughter.

Lila slowly stood up, looking around at the siblings' dead bodies scattered around the barn. She looked over at Y/n and sniffled. Knowing that was her sister who was laying dead, who was killed by Lila's mother, it just simply broke her heart.

Then she turned back to her mother. "They're my real family." Lila walked over closer to The Handler. "Do you even love me?"

The Handler watched her gaze with a tilted head but when she didn't respond to Lila, she was about to stab her with her knife. But The Handler picked up her gun and shot her daughter with no hesitation. Lila fell to the ground with no movements and blood pouring out of her mouth.

The Handler didn't even flinch or anything, she just walked over to Lila and looked at her lifeless body on the ground. "Que sera, sera."

But while The Handler was looking down at Lila, Y/n slightly gasped and opened her eyes very slightly. She looked over at Five to see that he was somehow also still alive. He was gasping for air and his eyes were also open.

"Five? Five..." She whispered, her voice quivering. She lifted her hand up from the ground as hard as she could as it trembled in the air and placed it onto Five's hand. His eyes started to slightly shut but she couldn't let that happen. Not now. Not ever. Her eyes started to fill with tears just with the thought that she was gonna have to watch everybody die alone. "Five, please..."

The boy opened his eyes and soflty gasped, turning to the girl next to him. But just when Y/n thought she was gonna save him and everybody, The Handler noticed them.

She turned to them and started walking. "Oh, good. You two are still alive. Lucky you. You got to see how this all played out." The Handler looked down at them and pointed her gun at Y/n.

But just when The Handler was about to shoot at the scared girl, she was shot. Her body was pierced by bullets as she sharply gasped.

She still managed to turn around and see who was that person who killed her. And it was the last remaining Swede.

He walked inside the farm still pointing his gun and used his last bullets to shoot her body completely. The Handler looked down at her herself before falling down on her side on the ground with her mouth letting out blood.

Y/n and Five saw how everything unraveled which brought up an idea in Y/n's head. The both of them watched as the Swede continued making his way to them.

They both knew that they were gonna die completely if they don't do something.

It was now or never.

So Y/n turned to Five. "Five...Five...remember what D-Dad said to you?"

Five also slowly turned to her and gasped. "Wh-what?"

"Seconds...not decades."

Five finally realized what she was talking about and smiled before the smile fastly faded.

"What about you?"

Then Y/n remembered how her father told her that if the two of them used his power together, it would make it stronger. It sparked an additional idea and it made sense. Since Five was injured, if the two of them can make this work, it will be more reliable and safe.

"We use it together. We-we will be stronger."

But just when Y/n said that the Swede came up to them and pointed their gun at the girl once again.

"Y/n..."

Five nodded at her and they slowly intervened their hands together. Y/n felt as Five's power traveled through her veins as Five started using his power from his knuckles.

The energy thrummed and crackled as the two teens started using their powers. And it worked.

The actions that took place there were reversed with the sounds resonating also in reverse. Five and Y/n were able to stand up and see how everything was doing just the way they wanted it.

The both of them were so focused on it that they didn't even look around. It was the first time Five was doing this with his powers and so it was for Y/n. It was pretty extraordinary but the goal for both of them was the only thing that was in their minds.

Five clutched on Y/n's hand stronger than he ever did before. They ran past all of their siblings getting shot in reverse and they finally made it to the end of the barn.

Five's power stopped working and everything was back. Only a few seconds earlier.

Five were standing on one side of the threshold and Y/n was on the other. The both of them checked if there were any bullet holes in their body and there weren't.

Y/n smiled and chuckled softly, happy that everything turned out just the way they were expecting it. Y/n touched her face and turned to him.

The two teens locked glances before Five sprung into action. Since Y/n started this problem solver, he was going to end it.

"I know that we can be your family." Diego repeated himself. "If you just let us."

At that same moment, The Handler walked in through the farm threshold. But Five ran up to her and snatched the gun out of her hands. Everyone turned to them and Klaus even put his hands in karate move positions. Five pointed the gun at The Handler as she held her hands up as if she was innocent.

"It's true, isn't it?" Lila asked which shifted The Handler's look from Five to her. "What Five said." But The Handler did not reply instantly, she looked back at Five in anger. "Answer me! Is it true?"

"Well-" The Handler was cut off by getting shot by the Swede once again. He appeared in that same open gates threshold and shot her the same way he shot her before. The Handler looked at her bullet-pierced body and back at Lila.

Sure Lila was mad that her mother was lying to her this whole time but seeing her die made her also shocked. Lila's jaw went wide as her eyes started filling the tears while she watched the woman drop dead on the ground.

Everyone also watched The Handler getting shot and did not break their gaze for a second. After a couple of seconds after The Handler got shot, Lila turned back at the siblings and started running towards the woman.

"The case!" Luther noticed her first and started running after her.

"No!" But Diego came in his way and didn't let him get to Lila which gave her the opportunity to take it and teleport as the men fell on the ground, one on top of each other.

The energy whooshed at the same place where Lila was but the only difference was, there wasn't anything left of her.

But just when Lila left them, the Swede clocked his gun and was about to shoot them. But Five walked over so he was in front of him and clocked his gun.

At the moment, everyone just watched them not even daring to take a breath. They wanted to see who was going to be the first to shoot who.

Y/n looked at Five to see if he was going to do something. But Five didn't even look at her, he was so tensed up, he was laser-focused on the Swede.

So Five let go of the gun with his one hand before let go with his other hand too, letting it drop to the ground.

"Enough." That was all that Five said.

The Swede looked at him, then at all of the siblings around the barn. They watched him closely, wanting to see if he was going to do something back.

After a couple of seconds of fear and worry, the Swede replied to Five by saying back "Enough" in Swedish.

He dropped his gun on the same ground as Five did and walked out of the barn as everyone was able to heavily exhale.

Y/n looked over at Five and so did he. They both locked eyes with one another and the both of them smiled in relief.

"I almost had her. Why the hell did you stop me?" Luther asked Diego still laying on top of him.

"Because..." Diego shifted his dreamy gaze to him. "...I love her."

But while Diego was getting up from laying with Luther on the ground, he noticed that the bracelet he was making at the psychiatric hospital was on the ground. Meaning that Lila took it and put it on.

But Klaus was the one who didn't let his confusion stay inside. "Who the hell was that guy?" He pointed at the doors.

"Vanya! Help!" Suddenly, Sissy's voice was heard from downstairs in the basement.

"Harlan." Vanya said to herself as she immediately sprung into action and rushed to Sissy leaving the siblings to catch up with her.

So the siblings raced down with her to the basement where the energy was still thrumming.

"Sissy?" Vanya ran down the stairs and spotted Harlan with Sissy there.

Sissy stood up from the ground to see what Vanya was going to do. Vanya actually didn't waste any time: she ran up to Harlan, who was sitting in a corner with the energy swirling around him.

Vanya went through that energy circle as her pupils turned blue but turned back to normal in a split second.

"Harlan? Harlan!" Vanya held the boy with her hands on his legs. "Whatever it is I gave you, I can take it back, okay? We just, we need to stop this." Vanya explained everything to the scared little boy as her siblings finally reached the basement.

They watched their sister unleash her amazing braveness and caringness towards Harlan as the boy whimpered. Vanya held up her hands as her palms turned blue, the high-pitched tone swirling around her.

She placed her hands on his hands which he was putting on his knees as the energy particles traveled through Harlan's body and back to her through Vanya's hands.

Vanya's veins became more visible and the siblings still continued to watch everything. Five looked down at Y/n's hands and took her left hand into his and clutched it. Y/n looked down at it and smiled at the sight of that.

The thought of this finally ending was too good to be true. But maybe for once, things would turn out in a bearable way.

The girl looked up at Five as the two of them exchanged smiles before Vanya's work was done. She was pushed back on the hay but saw that Harlan was okay and everything was back to normal.

Harlan didn't have any of Vanya's power left and he was back to his previous self. Vanya smiled and panted out of relief when she saw that her plan worked.

Harlan also looked at all of the siblings until his gaze met his mom's. Sissy gasped and smiled when she saw that her son was finally okay.

"Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Oh!" She ran up to him and sobbed as she hugged her little boy as tight as she could. She turned to Vanya and laughed before she kissed Harlan's head.

Vanya, on the other hand, looked at her family. She turned her head to her siblings to see that they were all smiling, feeling proud of their sister who did something incredible despite everything hard that she went through, and instead of thinking of everything that built up to this prodigious moment.
