When Five Hargreeves was 16, he disobeyed his father and time traveled against his will. What he didn't expect was to end up in the apocalypse, and unknowingly take Evelyn Larsen with him.

She found him. He's right there. He holds the big gun in his hands and aims. She starts by walking slowly to him and picks up the speed as all things she's been through runs through her mind.
She stops. What is she going to do? She's an old lady against a trained assassin. Yes, he's old as well, but he knows what he's doing. She doesn't. Why send her?
While thinking through her choices and past decisions, Five puts down the gun and takes out a notepad. He starts writing down things quickly.
Evelyn starts thinking that maybe this was a stupid decision. Maybe she should just go back. No. It is all his fault, everything. The reason she is here in the first place is his fault. And she might be old, but she will definitely try to give him the beating of his life, she will make his life hell, but just when she goes to tackle him, she notices Five clench his fists and.....push? He looks like he's trying to poop while being constipated. She slowly starts walking towards Five, what the hell is he doing? I get that he's old and doesn't have that much control whenever he has to go, but I don't think he would go in the middle of a parking lot even if he's wearing old-people diapers.
She's not too far from Five now, but he seems too concentrated on....whatever he's doing, to notice her. As she gets closer, she notices a blue sort of light coming from his hands. That light keeps expanding as she still keeps getting closer. Until the light is as big as his body and then some. It seems that he is trying to push through the light, with some difficulty.
"Five? Five Hargreeves?" She asks, not sure what to do in this situation. She was sent to distract him, maybe that's just what she's trying to do. He ignores her though and keeps trying to push through. She makes it by his side and goes to touch his shoulder. Noise can be heard from the other side of the light that catches her attention.
"Holy-" She gets cut off by a fire extinguisher being thrown through the light, nearly hitting her.
"What in the world?" She can tell when Five is almost through and that's when she touches him on the shoulder, trying to reel him back. But that only sends her through, making her feel the symptoms of time travel once again.
The same horrific nausea feeling comes once again. I've only time traveled around three times and I haven't got used to it. Hopefully I never will. This is the third time I have time traveled and this one is by far the most painful. I hit the ground a lot harder this time and land on my hands and knees....and face.
"Does anyone else see little Number Five, or is that just me?" An unfamiliar voice says from nearby. Spitting out dirt from the ground, I slowly get up from my hands and kneel just on my knees. I let air flood my lungs before fully standing. The words of the man finally register and I look next to me to see not Five, but a boy.
"And who's the little girl?" The boys eyes meet mine and widen. I look down at my body and hands and see, definitely not my normally wrinkly hands. Looking back at the boy, we both mutter at the same time,
