Red ringed eyes looked out from the ally's dark corner. He was shoved into it only a moment before by one of the men in front of him. The two men were fighting. One had come up behind the other to rob him. The other retaliated. The encounter only lasted a few moments, leaving a bleeding body on the floor.
A faint light from the street cast a glow across the ally as the figure stepped out of the shadows. His eye's moved up and down the man's body, looking for any signs of life. Finding none he let out a sigh. He had known this would happen for a while.
Since he was born he's been able to see people's names and some numbers over their heads. He didn't know what the number's meant at first but a few years ago he found out. And it scared him.
He was watching the news with his mother. There was a man who ran into a building and took hostages. The man opened a window and shot out of it, killing the reporter on the scene. The officers shot down the man immediately. The numbers above both of their heads had reached zero. The numbers mark the date of death.
He knelt down beside the body and ran his fingers over the familiar leather coat. He'd known this man all his life. He's tried on that same coat many times before. He himself was a child of no more than seven years and this man was his father.
The child pulled a phone out of his father's pocket and dialed 9-1-1. He gave the street and the buildings he was by. The officers arrived in minutes. They ask questions and took the thug's description. The boy gave them the man's name but left out the fact that the thug would die in a year.
The officers got his address and ushered him into a police car. Going home would be pointless and the child knew it. The numbers over his mother's head also ran out today. She should already be dead.
After the officer's found no one home they took him to the station until they found out that his mother was one of the fatalities in the train crash earlier in the day. None of the officers knew how to tell a seven year old that both his parents died on the same day. To their surprise the boy wasn't tearful after being told. The only emotion he showed was surprise at hearing how his mother died.
Having no living relatives they had to put the boy in a local orphanage. After living there for a while Wammy's House took interest in the child. He had showed tremendous intelligence, something Wammy's took the most interest in. They took him in and gave him the name B. Backup.
B had already given himself a name though, Beyond Birthday. The logic behind his name came from his eyes. He'd had them from before his birth, beyond his birthday.
Beyond's name from before has long since been lost. His past from before Wammy's took him in is barely known. This is the only record left. We are privileged just to know this much.
