She didn't know where they picked up that ghost of a girl. It was strange that they would consider playing nicely with others, but Five didn't have time to dwell on it in the moment. Her beautiful plan had the opportunity to become even more gorgeous if Clarence worked fast enough.

Unfortunately, Nine and Twelve destroyed her plans, as they always did. They never let her have any fun, but the joke was on them. She had a new toy in that girl of theirs, and wouldn't mind if she got too rough and broke it.

She spent that next day researching her, pulling up any information she could. However everything she found was so boring and dull. Her name was Lisa Mishima. She lived with her mother and was enrolled in a nearby high school. Outside of official records she hardly existed. Why would they ever pick up someone so useless?

Just as she was contemplating this, their cameras' picked up a familiar yellow shirt. Perfect, her little present had made an impression on her. Once again Clarence picked her up, but this time she finally got to meet the terror twins' darling in person.

Up close, everything was even more unremarkable. Her hair cut was bland, her clothes stank of perspiration, and her nails were simply a mess. This Lisa Mishima obviously simply existed instead of living. Five couldn't help but grow more and more confused.

When the girl woke up, Five at first adopted a personality as sweet as sugar. If the girl was as idiotic as she looked, then this could be settled easily. However instead the bitch was too dumb to barely even talk. All she did was tremble while a fragile voice stuttered like mad. It was sickening. This was the person they replaced her with? They abandoned Five, the smartest of the number child for this wretched doll? It made her seethe with jealousy. Why did she deserve their attention at all when she had to play these games just to draw them out?

"You should have died," Five relished the way her words hurt her so. "They must have hating having such a stupid woman follow them around," Deeper and deeper she twisted the knife. The girl remained so weak and fragile. Five was ready to go in for the kill when that shaky voice insisted,

"I don't care about me."

Five looked the girl over once more. Though she had seemed to grow a spine, she was still trembling in fright. It was nothing but a weak bluff in the face of a being as intimidating as herself.

In the end it wouldn't matter. She would be the perfect bait for her plan.

As expected, Twelve came. He tried in vain to stop those bombs, but Five had made intentionally made it impossible. Her plan was coming along smoothly when suddenly,

"I'm ok now. Run away."

This time there was no mistake about the courage that radiated from that small, pathetic, weak girl. It was impossible. Five couldn't understand. She was dull and boring and nothing but a waste of space. How could she be so willing to sacrifice her life for those boys that obviously hated her? She couldn't entertain the thought they might actually care about her. Why would they chose to associate with a dumb bitch like her when they had willing abandoned a genius like Five. Illogical, unreasonable, impossible.

But before that thought process could grow darker and more twisted, pain swallowed Five whole. The next few hours she could barely sense anything but the pain. However she was able to understand at least one thing.

Five knew she was going to die.

She could face the injections, the drugs, the gradual lost of what little humanity she possessed, but death was something that still chilled her to the bone. Still she tried to pull herself together for Nine, to appear the radiant genius she had been before the world drained the life from her body.

In her final moments, while her mind was caught racing through the past, her memory came back to her of all people, the weak little hostage that had been able to face death with a smile. She decided maybe she could learn something from this stupidly brave girl, no she could learn something from Lisa.

As the flames consumed her body, Five tried to channel the one person who even a genius like her couldn't understand.

A.N. After talking with sphinxotp on tumblr some, really fell in love with the idea of a Five being affected by Lisa's actions. Would add even more to how she influenced and changed those she met, and would be a cool way for them to indirectly interact
