Tigers raised in captivity recognise their caged life as normalcy, but that does not stop them from running once the door is left open.
She couldn't have known it, but the second The Handler decided to cross the strings of fate of her two best assassins for the greater good of the company, she had made a mistake.
Two teenagers turned killers stuck in time; a girl who's personality is deceptively not as sweet as her name, and a boy with the meanest green eyes she's ever seen who might just be her ticket out.

The Nightmare (DiegoXOC)
Fears are what nightmares are made of. Malia's biggest fears? Abandonment, being alone, and losing her loved ones. She went through it once already, she doesn't think she'd survive if it happened again. Malia was born of an unusual birth but her parents thought of her as a miracle... at least, at first. As she grew older, strange things began to happen and her parents thought maybe she wasn't their little miracle after all. As Malia grows she tries to understand certain feelings no child should ever have to experience: neglect, abandonment, and fear. It isn't until she meets a particularly eccentric, yet cold, man that she begins to grasp the concept of the true meaning of family. He was the string - the rest of them were, well... no family was perfect. They all went their separate ways but at least she knew where they all were and because of that, she never truly felt alone. In her heart, she knew there would always be something to bring them back together again even if it took years. She never expected it to be something like this though... DiegoXOC CompletedComplete

No One Noticed [Five Hargreeves x Reader]
Being Number Eight in the Umbrella Academy means living with everyone's thoughts and secrets all the time. It's tough being the mind-reader of the family. And when Five suddenly returns after being lost in time, your carefully built walls begin to crumble. He's different, sharper and colder, definitely not the same boy you fell in love with years ago as children. But beneath it all, something familiar still lingers. This story follows a re-telling of the show The Umbrella Academy told through your eyes. A slow-burn story that deals with overcoming family trauma and dynamics, family scars, saving the world, and trying to navigate a world full of noise.

BEHIND THE SCENE: ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜᴍʙʀᴇʟʟᴀ ᴀᴄᴀᴅᴇᴍʏ || 𝗧𝗨𝗔
Katherine possesses a gift, or rather, she was meticulously designed to become the perfect soldier that Reginald had always dreamed of. She stands as the most formidable among them all. From the moment Reginald laid eyes on her, he knew the extent of her abilities. However, this revelation marked the loss of her childhood, as she was swiftly molded into a weapon. Her world now revolves around the confines of a crimson room, with only basic necessities like food and sleep, draining away her common sense. Secluded from the world, hidden in secrecy even among the Umbrella Academy siblings, she became an envious figure in a painted portrait - "the girl on the portrait." Her loyalty to Reginald knows no bounds, obeying his every command like a willing genie. Yet, behind her outward compliance lies a shadowy cloak of mystery, an aura of intrigue that hints at concealed secrets buried deep within her soul. Whispers in the shadows claim that her abilities defy imagination, veiled in uncertainty. Is she a prodigy of Reginald's brilliance, or an unearthly entity drawn to this world by inexplicable forces? Within the enigmatic walls of the Umbrella Academy, the truth of her existence remains a puzzle yearning to be solved. _____________________ "I can slice that throat of yours if I want to," Master Five murmured, his voice laced with a hint of danger. A daring smirk curved on Katherine's lips, as she coolly retorted, "Well, lucky me, 'cause you can't do shit with that chain tied around your pretty little neck."
