Hi! I love your work and was wondering what you thought of platonic/romanitc yandere batfamily with a reader who's like five hargreeves???

My first request! Although I have not watched Umbrella Academy I’ll try my best to fulfill your wishes Anon (via research and several clips of this man-child). Advanced apologies for any inconsistencies.

Honestly seeing all these clips makes me want to watch the show itself so I’ll be doing that after posting this fic.

TW/CW: Yandere themes of violence, creepiness, overprotectiveness, manipulation. Uh mention of Tim and Damian creaming in their suits-

current status: unedited

PLATONIC TIMELINE

In this version of events there is no Reginald Hargreeves and siblings (thus no Umbrella Academy as a whole) instead you were plucked from your biological mother by Bruce himself and adopted as a Wayne.

You were the youngest sibling, often called “Five” as a nickname.

Having dangerous abilities such as well- the power to manipulate space and time. Bruce was incredibly strict with his training and rules, but he knew not to push you too far. He has learnt from his experiences with your brothers.

Because of that you grew up pretty egotistical, sassy and cynical — not to mention pretty spoiled.

You’d often dangle your powers over Damian, who had become your rival throughout the years.

He, in turn, would slap you back with the fact that you’re adopted.

And boy did it take a lot of convincing from your father to not go back in time and smother the damn demon-spawn with a pillow when he was still a baby.

Otherwise your relationship with them is very much a typical sibling’s one. With the exception of their overprotectiveness that is real bad (You were surprised to see Damian in the mix as well. Was your brother a masochist of some sort?) and due to your powers and everyone’s overall occupations, a lot more violent.

They will try to sabotage any and all relationships you have whether it’s romantic or platonic.

But, jokes on them, you can just go back in time and stop anything bad from happening.

Really, you can’t help but laugh at their shenanigans.

Like whenever you see Dick disguised as a waiter trying to drug your date but it somehow ends up with him on the floor frothing at the mouth.

Or during this one time Jason tried shooting a friend of yours but found himself with a bullet up his ass instead. That is if you were feeling a little more sadistic than usual, you mostly switch his guns out for staplers.

You made sure to help him patch up though. As much as they were cockblockers, they were still family.

In conclusion, as much as the Batfam are capable superheroes/vigilantes I’m pretty sure they can’t really beat a trained space-time manipulator.

Bruce created a monster and he ain’t stopping it himself anytime soon.

“[Y/N] Wayne. You have to stop throwing your older brother around.” Bruce scolds you for the nth time this week. Though you knew better than any one else within the mansion you were in that is far as he’ll go with his actions.

“If this is about Tim— he was looking through my search history again, and my gallery, and not to mention every damn file I have on my computer—“

“Look, I was just checking up on you—“ Tim’s voice comes from the intercomms. Only to be cut off by a gasp.

From your brief blink in-and-out of existence, Bruce just knows it’s you slamming the poor boy’s face on a keyboard or something.

“[Y/N]!”

“I wonder if it’s too late to get unadopted.”

ROMANTIC TIMELINE

“Where’d you go?”

“The future. It’s shit by the way.”

You, much like the original Five Hargreeves, are a 50 something year-old person stuck in a young adult’s body as a result of fucking up the space time continuum too much.

You have the same origins as well, being born from a butcher who had shown no signs of pregnancy and being adopted by Reginald Hargreeves.

Let’s say you and your siblings were well known but after you disappeared, they all mysteriously died if not vanish like you as well.

You had close ties with the Teen Titans and were planning to join them after you’d master your powers of time manipulation. However that unfortunately didn’t happen.

In any case, you meet up with one of the only heroes you knew years ago and that happened to be Batman and his sidekick, Robin.

Except… it seemed that Batman was way older and Robin had already been replaced three times. The Robin you were friends now calls him Nightwing.

You bring news of the apocalypse and ask them to aid you in searching for your siblings.

Unbeknownst to you, Dick had been searching for you all over since your disappearance. It had partly been the reason why he chose to become his own independent hero so he already had a lead on where to look.

You meet the rest of the Batfam, who grow to enjoy your sassy, witty personality.

To Bruce, you were like a reminder of things before the trauma he’s had to face with his sons. In addition to that, you were roughly the same age mentally so having another “grown up” with him, albeit one that’s more chaotic, was definitely helpful.

To Jason, you were exciting. He’s seen people with powers before but none that seemed so elegant yet ruthless. You were mesmerizing in battle but your softer sides where you’d remind him of the life he has ahead of him and to take care, was even more captivating.

To Damian and Tim, you took a more obvious parental approach. Which was odd coming from someone close to their age in appearance. Unlike Jason who enjoys more of your soft side they enjoy the side of you that’s uncaring of those in your way.

And when they see you covered in blood after a heated fight? Absolutely gorgeous.

(They may or may not be creaming in their suits)

Now in the case of dear old Dickey, who has been helping you out investigating your disappearance. You two grew a lot closer. Even more so than before.

To him you were gone for almost 2 decades and to you it was twice that time. Still time didn’t stop you two from reconnecting quickly.

He takes the first step in asking you out. His brothers and father aren’t exactly discreet when it comes to their feelings so he (very reluctantly) lets them have a piece of you by moving back to Gotham for good.

In this timeline, Dolores (the mannequin) exists cause yes. So they don’t really have any real competition to fight with.

They are some times where Damian, Jason, and Dick want to destroy the thing for being so precious to you though.

In any case, like I said in the Platonic timeline. Not many things can go against Time/Space manipulation so if they want to take away your abilities or overpower it’s going to be a hard task to go through.

They much rather manipulate and/or coax you to not use it against their desires.

In time, you’ll be the perfect darling and partner in heroism for the batfam 💜

Hope you liked this Anon and thank you for requesting!

hi ma’am please share why you think five is gonna join the sparrows hand em over 🤲👈 i’m very interested and emotionally invested in this ok thank you :D

I’M GLAD YOU ASKED

okay first of all i would like to apologize to that one anon

why i’m gonna be surprised if Five’s gonna stay with the umbrellas:

- the sparrow pin on the season 2 promo poster - the way his siblings act towards him esp season 2, vanya in the car smiling at everyone but five (even after the softest “i know, you owe me one, sis.) - diego not even looking in his direction with ‘they love me back’ (looked on the ground) - “you skipped out on (veggie’s) golden years” and then sparrows looking hella fresh - five’s blaming himself for Ben’s death - the talk with veggie at the bar which is enough for five to doubt himself and his abuse - the LSD dinner scene showing that he’s repressing his memories, making it easier to fall back; in the pilot the uniforms were framed like prison bars, so he won’t be getting away any time soon - “I wonder If it’s too late to be unadopted.” (c’mon) - possibly a sparrow feather in his hat in eps 8 & 9 - elliot and hazel killed bc of him left some scars too - the “he may have some variation of the costume” from Chris the costume guy in the 2 hours long interview, Aidan wanting new clothes too - “(Veggie)’s gonna play all his little mind games on us, get into our heads and turn us all against each other. You watch.” “We’re not 12 anymore, Luther.” (guess who is tho) - “No more numbers. No more bullshit. We’re team zero.” diego your brother who’s literally a number is standing right there - Ben’s “You’re not alone at the table anymore, Vanya.” and five being left alone with veggie (technically a bar), at Wisconsin (literally the only one alive) and at Sissy’s house (under the table but counts) - Five is a very family-oriented person and if his family turns on him? If he finds out that they don’t actually care that much? He’s gonna go back to the only alive person that showed a glimpse of decency. Who apologized first. We joke about sending Five back to school, but that’s what the academy was in the first place, wasn’t it? - Sloane having plans about getting out the academy but tied to her family. That could include leaving an empty slot in the team and feeling guilty. Sloane is sparrow number 5. (looks into the camera) - was missing for a day and a half before the supper and no one bet an eyelash. The breakdown in the seven stages after he locks himself in the room. You can’t tell me the thoughts like “would they even notice if i’d disappear again?” and “is this even worth it?” didn’t cross his mind at least once. esp after ‘i was better by my own in the apocalypse.’ - because the umbrellas are gonna be angry as shit. hell, claire doesn’t exist in this timeline. that’s gonna hit hard. five was lucky to have luther with him when he opened the portal to 2019 to side with him that the supper wasn’t the thing that got them unadopted, but still. - veggie is clearly interested in time travel and now there’s a living breathing mentally unstable 3 seconds away from a panic attack time traveller claiming to be his son with literally nowhere to go, looking like a kid so he can’t get a job and pay rent and his family isn’t exactly interested in his well being? f r e e r e a l e s t a t e

- also i wanna see the DNA alteration and who better than vegetable ‘gotta pump up my adoptive son with this more than questionable juice each season’ hargreeves

edit:

- because having five with the sparrows and the siblings somewhere else (in the hotel) would split the screen time. We'd learn about the sparrows while five would be going Through ItTM without saving the world and the umbrellas would be forced through character developments they need like air

#long post #ask #tua #the umbrella academy #may just be me tho #ya hear that?#that's me rattling adoption papers for five hargreeves
