Summary
“You’re such assholes, you know that?” Diego says, glancing nervously between her and Five. He’s so easy to rile up. "You’re always th-thinking you’re better than the rest of us— when really, all you do is follow orders like a w-w-we-well-trained—”
“I am well-trained, Number Two,” Vanya interrupts gently, aware that it sounds like a threat. She steps forward – he steps back. “Do you really think that’s an insult? I have a very good grasp on how to use my powers. Far better, it seems, than you do with yours – based on your performance today.”
“F-f-fu-fuck you,” Diego spits out, but his heart is thumping hard with fear, and he takes another miniscule step back.
Vanya smiles.
...
Set when the Hargreeves are around fifteen, though Five is still there, in an AU where Number Seven never had her powers taken from her and was raised as a fully-fledged member of the Academy. Or: Vanya can be a little evil, as a treat.

Summary
Vanya, eyes wide, gets up, and the two of them follow Ben, winding around the shelves and staying close to the ground while the cashier and robber yell at each other. They manage to stay out of sight, and they’re almost at the door when someone else busts in.
“Drop the gun!” growls a very familiar man in a stupid mask and a leather harness.
“Oh. My. God,” says Ben.
“Man, come on,” Klaus moans. “What is this, a family reunion? We’re collecting the whole set?”
...
Diego, Vanya, and Klaus (plus Ben) happen to run into each other one night, meeting in the same grocery store - each of them there for very different reasons. Set pre-canon, and the siblings are about twenty-two or so.

Summary
Seven gasps awake. She finds Five straight away, their eyes locking.
Then the Professor snatches her by the hair.
“Now, as I said, I don’t plan on damaging any of you,” he says, unaware that his days are numbered. “But this one’s not exactly one of you, is she? And, well, we have to find something to pass the time with while we wait for your generous father to pay the ransom. I wouldn’t want any of you doing something rash, like trying to escape.”
He looks directly at Five when he says this, and Five bares his teeth.
“Oh, you’re a little feral one,” the Professor says cheerfully. “Scary."
OR: The Umbrella Academy (plus Number Seven), at just eleven years old, have been kidnapped for a ransom by some guy who's really not messing around. At least they're all together? Five's having a very bad day, One's having an even worse time and Seven's kinda just happy to be included.
