"She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum." - Everything is Illuminated

Zero Hargreeves; the biological twin sister to Five Hargreeves, who disappeared when they were thirteen. 

A girl who's mental health deteriorated over the years as she struggled to cope with the loss of her brother and the trauma of their childhood. 

Now, a grown woman living a dreary, monotonous life with her service dog alone and the occasional night out with Klaus, but nothing much else - finds out her siblings waited THREE DAYS to tell her that Five was back, and alive. 

She's already at the end of her tether. 

And then her brother tells her the apocalypse is coming. 

--- 

"Guess that means I'm the older twin now." 

"And now I'm the taller twin. Funny how things work out."

Because she's only sent into very specific assassination jobs, where she is required to put on an act and manipulate her targets to extract information, and then, eventually, their lives. However, the woman with a perfect reputation faces a twist in her emotionless life when she's assigned to the mission of killing Five Hargreeves, the former best assassin of the company who betrayed his superiors and fled into another timeline in hope to save his family from the apocalypse of 2019. The woman, now in a girl's body, has to deal with overwhelming new feelings she desperaly wants to get rid of, and discovers things about herself that she preferred keeping away from her mind.

On the first day of October 1989, forty-three women around the world simultaneously gave birth. None of the women showed any prior signs of pregnancy. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, made it his personal mission to find and adopt as many of these children as possible. He got eight of them with that one set of twins that maybe came from the same mother but in appearance, they were as different as anyone could be. Number Four and Number Eight...often used as the main subjects of experiments when it came to power. Sir Hargreeves' main focus was however on the young Number Eight which eventually led to the girl disappearing in the storm of her own powers. But what if she somehow comes back after the death of her father? What if she gets reunited with her twin and what if the boy she thought she lost and who she used to have a crush on came back as well with the news of the nearing Apocalypse? Season 1 ✔ Season 2 ✔ Heya, I decided to write this as I am quite obsessed with TUA for some time now and I picked up enough courage to write a fanfic about one of my ideas. I do hope you will like it As I said this is just one of my ideas so there is a possibility I will write another TUA fanfic in the near future. And now a bit of a TRIGGER WARNING this fanfic contains mention of blood and violence and other stuff basically like the serial itself. I don't own anything or anyone just my OC...okay that's about it...enjoy.

Katherine possesses a gift, or rather, she was meticulously designed to become the perfect soldier that Reginald had always dreamed of. She stands as the most formidable among them all. From the moment Reginald laid eyes on her, he knew the extent of her abilities. However, this revelation marked the loss of her childhood, as she was swiftly molded into a weapon. Her world now revolves around the confines of a crimson room, with only basic necessities like food and sleep, draining away her common sense. Secluded from the world, hidden in secrecy even among the Umbrella Academy siblings, she became an envious figure in a painted portrait - "the girl on the portrait." Her loyalty to Reginald knows no bounds, obeying his every command like a willing genie. Yet, behind her outward compliance lies a shadowy cloak of mystery, an aura of intrigue that hints at concealed secrets buried deep within her soul. Whispers in the shadows claim that her abilities defy imagination, veiled in uncertainty. Is she a prodigy of Reginald's brilliance, or an unearthly entity drawn to this world by inexplicable forces? Within the enigmatic walls of the Umbrella Academy, the truth of her existence remains a puzzle yearning to be solved. _____________________ "I can slice that throat of yours if I want to," Master Five murmured, his voice laced with a hint of danger. A daring smirk curved on Katherine's lips, as she coolly retorted, "Well, lucky me, 'cause you can't do shit with that chain tied around your pretty little neck."
