[She laughs, because of the things she could have asked, that is not what she was expecting.]
We are not half robot. But ... we might not be human.
[She still doesn't have a clear answer on that, but she can at least clear that much up.]
On October 1, 1989, a bunch of women all over the world suddenly got pregnant and had a baby all within the span of a couple hours. Each of those children that were born wound up with powers. Somehow, my father figured that out in advance and adopted seven of them within a few months of their birth. And when he realized that children in fact weren't robots and wouldn't just blindly follow orders, he built us a robot mom to help manage us.
[So that is the weird story of the Umbrella Academy. But Five looks like Five is a much longer story.]
