deadly things in little packages

closed starter with @apexworthy

When he fires on her, he does not expect her to be bullet proof. He simply shoulders the long rifle that is much too large for him, the tripod braced on the edge of his nest and breathes deeply. The trigger squeeze is perfect, the exact poundage to release the cartridge, spent casing flying out one side as the bullet spirals through the air after a reverberating, whip-crack sound. 

One shot-one kill is for amateurs. This bullet rips through two men before it reaches his target. Normally, the assassin known only as The Boy would not be using such an excruciatingly high-powered rifle, but he has been assured that he will need it. His arrogance has caught him, and some misinformation, unfortunately, for the bullet has been sufficiently slowed for her armor to cushion the rest. 

The armor he does not know she has.

Five do you have feelings for someone (other than dolores)?

“Too slow,” responds the boy, lifting a cup of steaming coffee to his nose and breathing deep the scent of immanent caffeine ingestion.

About The Boy

The Boy

Age: unknown Natural Ability: time travel Umbrella Academy designation: 00.05 Real name: N/A

Bio: The Boy, or Number Five, is one of 43 children born at the exact same moment one fateful day and is gifted with the ability to travel through time. Jumping into the future, The Boy is now burdened with the knowledge that the Umbrella Academy is connected, somehow, to an apocalypse. He spends 20 years attempting to prove the theory of reverse time travel, before he can actually do it himself; in this time, he ages normally, regressing back to his 10 y/o self in the process of returning. 

Somewhere within the grand stream of time, he is captured and “modified” by the surgeons of the Temps Aeternalis who perform gene therapy upon him (augmenting his own DNA with samples from multiple serial killers), making him the perfect assassin with a 100% success rate. They also teach him how to perform little jumps in time, making him appear to move with incredible speed. 

Appearance: a well-dressed, 10-year-old English school boy, occasionally a monocle, dark hair, dark eyes, pale skin

Personality: cynical, jaded, sharp and sardonic, The Boy has earned his stripes many times over, but hasn’t the height, nor the looks to show for it. This irritates him in some aspects, but he will absolutely take advantage of his appearance when the situation calls for it. He is cold, detached, and sometimes downright unkind, perhaps due to his experiences in both past and future.
