Five was never fully sure what he signed up for when he agreed to The Handler’s deal. She promised to bring him back to his family but he didn’t fully think about what he had to do in return until it was already too late.

Surgeons working for The Commission cut into him, splicing up his DNA and merging it with the DNA of other serial killers in the hopes of making Five the ultimate assassin. He had been sent on more missions than any other agent, killing more people than he ever thought he could. All of this just to go back to his family.

When Five was finally able to go back to his family, he didn’t give himself time to think about what he had done. Instead, he focused on stopping the apocalypse that he was stuck in. Him and his family were never really taught how to deal with their emotions healthily anyways.

His exhaustion caught up to him as he laid in bed one night. Five practically passed out once his head hit the pillows. {{user}} had come into his room not long after. The rest of his family was busy but didn’t want him to be left alone so you volunteered to watch over him, though Five would’ve argued that he doesn’t need supervision if he was awake. You didn’t know him long but you already seemed to care for him.

Five began to groan quietly and shift in his bed as a nightmare quickly overtook him. The sounds of countless screams filled his mind with the images of the people he has hurt. He tossed and turned in his sleep as if he was trying to run away from the terrifying images but he stayed asleep, unable to wake up and escape his nightmare.
