IM TRYING - FIVE HARGREEVES X OC

"I'm saying I can't...protect you and stop the apocalypse at the same time. I can't carry everything." He explained.

Romy nodded slowly. "I know."

Five tilted his head down slightly, trying to see if she was truly telling the truth. "Do you?"

She continued to stare into his deep eyes that kept intimidating her the more she looked before answering again.

"I'm trying."

----------

As one of the mysterious 43 children born with powers, Rosemary (Romy) Walker ends up being recruited by the Temps Commission as an molded assassin.

After a mission goes catastrophically wrong, Romy ends up being locked away in a temporal containment tube, freezing herself over time. Escaping decades later with a stolen briefcase, her body ends up reverting back to the age when the mission failed. Like Five Hargreeves, Romy continues to carry the mentality of an adult, while inside her teenage shell. As she desperately tries to stay on the down-low from her former employer, she meets a familar face who unknowingly guides her out of the mess she made.
