ON NOVEMBER 22ND 1963, PRESIDENT Kennedy was assassinated. It was then that Five and Teresa Hargreeves decided to break their contract in an attempt to jump to 2019 and save the world. But Five messed up the jump. Not only had he cursed them back into the teenage bodies, but he had scattered his wife across the timeline and he had no idea when she was.

Teresa Hargreeves arrived back in Dallas on the 27th of June 1963, because instead of going ahead five decades, she had gone back five months. Her husband was nowhere in sight and her body had changed back into her teenage form. She was all alone and scared; even when she was stuck in the 2019 Apocalypse, she had Five, but not anymore.

Back in 2002, when Five Hargreeves had the 'amazing' idea to test out time travel, he hadn't expected for a girl his age to run into him, which dragged her along for the ride. Teresa Kane had been fleeing her angry parents when she bumped into the Academy kid, let's just say an accident occurred involving her powers and their couch. Yes, Teresa had powers because she was one of the 43 children born on the 1st of October 1989 to a mother who wasn't even pregnant when the day started.

Stranded with the strange Umbrella kid in the apocalyptic future wasn't what it was all cracked up to be as Teresa quickly learnt. Naturally, the pyromaniac blamed Five for the situation they were both in, even though her bumping into him could've been the thing to alter the time jump, trapping them there. After a few weeks, the two survivors became friends, revealing their stories to one another. Five was shocked to hear that she was like him and his siblings, but wasn't adopted like they were. Teresa had wished to be a member of the Umbrella Academy ever since she first saw them on the news. She wanted to use her powers for the greater good.

Over time, their friendship blossomed into something deeper: love. Delores — their mannequin friend — was relieved to hear that they had gotten together and Teresa vividly remembered her words being 'Fucking finally!' as she watched the two lovers smile and lean into each other's embrace. As cliche as it sounded, her wedding day was the best day of her life. She may not have had a white dress, a cake or even rings like a traditional wedding did, but a scarf they had scavenged, a Twinkie and shaped wire seemed to do the trick. Delores couldn't be happier when they asked her to perform the ceremony and that was when Teresa Kane became Teresa Hargreeves, a member of the dysfunctional super-powered family.

Years later, The Handler arrived, offering the two apocalypse survivors a ticket out of the hell hole and jobs as hitmen. They took it because it wasn't like they had other options. Five years of service was what the Commission required, but the Hargreeves couple broke their contract. Five was sent to the future whilst Teresa was sent to the past, both trapped within their younger selves. In 2019, Five tried his best to stop the apocalypse even though he was constantly worrying about Teresa and wondering where and when she was. But, the apocalypse still happened and in an attempt to save his family, he teleported them back in time, accidentally scattering them across the timeline in Dallas Texas.

When Teresa Hargreeves turns a corner to find Hazel's dead body, she follows the three Swedes to find out what they're up to, which leads her to the first of her in-laws and his crazy friend. Because Teresa Hargreeves may have missed out on her first chance to help her family to save the world, but she wasn't going to let another slip through her fingers.

the life of teresa hargreeves

Before Five: Having been born on the 1st October 1989 like the others, Teresa was given fire powers. Her parents didn't like her using them, they thought they were evil. They didn't sell her to Reginald because they believed their child to be a miracle, unaware of the power she had. 2002, Teresa lashed out and ended up setting fire to the coach so she ran and then bumped into Five who then took her along to the apocalypse.

The apocalypse: Stranded in the future, Teresa blamed Five at first, after quickly recognising who he was from his uniform. It took a few weeks but they ended up getting along (Five was really surprised by her powers). They ended up falling in love and getting married in the apocalypse. Teresa was actually pregnant for a little while in her early thirties but then lost the baby at 6 months. They were broken but both realised it was for the best (but even when they're 58, it still affects them). They survive together until the Handler shows up.

The Commission: Having had apocalypse training, Teresa was strong and tough. She still, however, has a good and kind heart so she's not fond of killing (Five does the most of it). Her and Five became an unstoppable duo. Teresa was very good at integrating into different timelines and Five was an excellent marksman. They decided to break their contract to save the world but it didn't go to plan.

notes:

• I cast Linh Dan Pham as Old!Teresa and you can keep this if you want or you can change it.

• Teresa knew Five's math was wrong and she ended up in the alleyway, in June 1963, stuck in her teenage body. Teresa then managed to find somewhere to stay, she's pretty resourceful. Still goes back the alley once a week and never gives up, hoping that one day Five will reappear.

• His family find it amusing how the person who keeps bossing them around gets told off by his wife which makes him nervous.

• Teresa is a good person but she's a little broken which she hides behind a smile. She's quite a happy person but sometimes you can see the pain behind her eyes.

• The umbrellas love her immediately, even Ben does, they can tell that she's good for Five.

ACT ONE
umbrella academy season 2

• Teresa never stops visiting the alley but is this time greeted with a dead Hazel and the swedes running so she follows them and ends up running into Diego. She recognises him and stays with him and is reunited with Five. Five and Teresa mainly stick together, but he tries to keep her away from Lila and the Handler but she's smart and makes him bring her to kill the board. The umbrellas are shocked by Teresa's powers and that Five has a wife. Teresa does not like Reginald.

ACT TWO
umbrella academy season 3

• There is no sparrow Teresa as her mother was also killed. Five is ready to retire and even though Teresa wants to, she wants to make sure the world is okay first. Teresa is both a mothering figure and irresponsible aunt figure to Stanley. Five and Teresa act like an old married couple but they decide, that considering they're young again, to start anew. Five goes with Lila to the Commission without Teresa and her older self is not there, already dead. Teresa knows the loss of losing a child so she tries to support Allison but then realises Allison has changed a lot.

When TUA season 4 comes out, it needs to be added to this timeline.
