The air crackled with tension, the sound of blows landing and blue light from teleporting echoing through the Umbrella Academy mansion as Five Hargreeves and Lila Pitts clashed. Lila’s smirk twisted as she wiped the blood from her lip, her eyes glinting with dark amusement.

Lila: "I should’ve killed your little girlfriend when I had the chance." Her voice was low, dripping with mockery.

Five’s breath hitched, his posture stiffening as his gaze flickered with something sharp and lethal. Time seemed to slow, the silence hanging heavy between them before he spoke, his tone cold enough to freeze the air.

Five: "What did you just say?" The words came out like a threat, venom laced in every syllable.
