A/N: New fic - tis an AU, but BMWW of course :) And while this may seem vague, it's integral to the story, so enjoy its randomness.

Prologue

Her hands didn't shake. They never shook. She knew that as a human, she was warm-blooded, but it was something she'd often doubted. Killing came so very easily for her, after all.

She still had the adrenaline rush - which was why she did what she did. But the adrenaline didn't hamper her. It enhanced her, let her move flawlessly from ordinary looking woman to cold assassin. It was hot, under the sun with no cover. But her senses were heightened. The cold of the metal rifle barrel under her fingers. The drop of sweat running down her neck, tickling at the skin. The soft breeze blowing a strand of hair around her face.

She leaned down and took aim. Three, two, one. She pulled the trigger. The target's head exploded in a red mist.

Moving quickly, methodically, she dismantled the sniper rifle and packed it away, then left the rooftop quickly. When she'd managed to get back to the rental car, five minutes later, she made sure to leave the parking lot slowly. People who rushed away from crime scenes were asking to get chased. So she stopped at the red light in front of her, when it came.

The light turned green. She set off. But while the assassin was being a model driver, the person who'd run his own red light wasn't. And she didn't have time to think how ironic it was before her internal organs were crushed.


A/N: More soon!
