You Cant Make Some Heroes
II. Realization
"Blood Wolffe, come with me, the experiments are over." Keith said.
"Forgive me for not believing you. Who the <bleep> are you anyways?" Blood Wolffe was not one for being subtle.
"You can come with me in shackles or you can come unconsious again."
"Good point." He was curious anyways, and what more could they do to him?
Keith and his entourage led the shackled Blood Wolffe to a black corporate helicopter.
Such heavy shackles too, did he fear him that much? It was widely believed, even by Blood Wolffe, that he was a failed project. Which was a success in his mind.
In a few moments they were flying over the Alaskan forest and Blood Wolffe was staring out the window.
"You know, you are an interesting case." Keith said.
He continued to stare out the window.
"Do you know what you do when you go into your trances?"
This got his attention. "What? What do I do?"
"You growl. Like a dog. Can you believe that? How stupid is that? Some of the scientists say the noise even matches growling exactly. You are very good at it. Growl for me now."
"Why would I do that?" Blood Wolffe replied. He didnt know he did that.
"I can think of something that will do it. I read your record, the one you have broken out of to find so many times." Keith said snidely.
"I have seen it." He said. But Keith could tell he wanted it badly.
"You saw some of it, and misinterpreted the information. You know how you were taken from your parents?" Keith's smile was sickeningly vicious now."
"I was stolen at birth." Blood Wolffe said.
"Wrong, did you know they were members of The Human Preservation League? A union against heroes" Keith said, he was relishing this.
"So" Blood Wolffe said.
"During the pregnancy they found out that they were going to give birth to a meta-human, as it were. They abhorred this. They were going to get an abortion, but we intercepted the information and switched the doctor to have you surgically removed and sustained by Crey until you could breath on your own. You were stolen, but they didnt even want you born. Even now, we are the only family you have and you failed us."
He had his heart ripped out. The one thing he always hoped for, to have his family back, could never happen. They wanted their own blood destroyed because it was different.
"You dont even have a power that is super human, you have even managed to fail at the very thing that caused your family to discard you like trash. Crey does not except failure."
With that, Keith pulled out his pistol and shot Blood Wolffe several times in the stomach. He then opened the door and pushed him out of the helicopter.
He tumbled through the air for a moment his stomach queasy and in pain. He crashed through branches, bouncing off some and finally hit the frozen ground. If it wasnt for the experiments his body wouldnt have been reinforced and he would have died quicly. Now he was just going to lay there shackled, and helpless, and bleed to death.
Still more coming...
III. Potential
As he laid there bleeding thoughts came to him.
"I can let go." kept going through his mind.
Every time he tried to close his eyes though he kept snapping them back open. Like someone was calling to him. He knew this place. It was the very woods he ran through in the trance.
He sat up to get a better look at his surroundings when he heard it. A distant howl, like a wolf. He figured they smelled his blood, but that explanation didnt settle with him right.
"This is as good a place as any to die."
And he fell on his back again. When he looked up a unusually large wolf was standing over him. Looking into his eyes. No. Looking into his soul, seeing everything he ever saw, judging him like a guard at the gates of heaven... or hell. It paralyzed Blood Wolffe, and he was more afraid that this supernatural beast would dissaprove of him than anything he had ever been afraid of before.
It was an old wolf, mortally wounded. In the stomach. Just like he was. He could sense that there was something special about this wolf. Apart from it burning through his eyes into his soul, he could see into the wolf. It was a true warrior in its time.
They were staring at each other for what seemed like forever. When the wolf suddenly bit him in the mouth.
"AAAAW! WHA... What are you doing!?" Blood Wolffe screamed as the wolf's teeth sank into his cheeks. The wolf was still staring at him, eyes burning deeper and deeper into him, growling now. Breathing into his mouth, forcing the wolf's breath into him.
It was getting brighter. Very bright and the wind was suddenly very strong. It was so bright it was painful but Blood Wolffe could not shut his eyes because of the wolf. He felt light headed and blacked out.
He woke up and was alone. His shackles were gone somehow. But most curious of all was his wounds. They were gone.
The wolf was gone and the paw prints were covered by now, although if it werent snowing he doubted he would see any.
He felt his face to see if it was just a dream. There were bite marks. He felt the crust of dried blood on his face.
Then there was something behind his eyes. Very subtle, but it was there. It was the wolf. It was part of him.
He jumped to his feet. He could smell the forest and hear the snow falling. His senses were extremely sharp.
Blood Wolffe tried to doubt himself but he couldnt. He just knew he and the wolf were one now. Maybe the experiments had done something to him. No, it wasnt that, this was beyond science. Maybe their souls were on the same wavelength.
"Souls on the same wavelength? I must be crazy." He said to himself, or to the wolf. He didnt know. But he trusted the wolf.
He knew what he wanted to do now. He had to go back to the lab to find Jen, and give her a peice of his mind.
More to come soon...

IV. Vengeance
Blood Wolffe was running through the woods towards the facility. He had been given a new life, and with it, new power. He felt revitalized and had a killer instinct in him now.
He was on the facility now, and he could smell Jen from outside. He crashed through the wire fence without slowing down. He leaped into the air all the way to her office in the third floor crashing through the window.
Jen screamed in horror and hit the panic button. Three Crey guards came in with two Protectors.
The wolf in him growled and they could all hear it. The rage built up in him now he pointed at one of the guards and a burst came out of his hand sending the unconsious man like a ragdoll into the wall. Quickly dispatching the protectors and all but one guard whom he grabbed. He wasnt sure what he was doing but the wolf was more in control than he was. He stared into his eyes, burning into his soul. Tears were coming out of the guards eyes when he let him go and the man merely whimpered and balled up.
"Its your turn Jen." Blood Wolffe said.
"How? What did you do to him?" She said stunned and frightened.
"It looks like your experiment needed one last thing. I found it."
He grabbed her and began to burn into her soul. She was more innocent than he wanted her to be. After all, he needed someone to blame after a life time of torturous experiments. A slight smile came to his face. She could see the bite marks now. Jen was tearing up from his gaze.
"Where is Keith?" He said.
"He went back to his office... in Paragon City." She gasped.
"Please let me go." She begged, tears running down her face.
"There is chance for redemption in you Jen. Do not waste it."
And with that he lept out of the office.
No longer a weary, defeated, project. Now he was a hunter, and his prey would be those that made others suffer.
Possibly to be continued... depending on reader review.
(Be gentle, not much experience at this )
((5 stars for you))
I like it, can you tell me how to do my own, Im new at this, maybe talking to me like im a 3rd grader would help
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?
Wicked. Hope I can find an appropriate spot to sneak in my RP favourite as well keep an eye out for Night Shrike.
((Nice story. Any more? I'm kinda curious now to see what happens next. =P ))

Thanks everybody, I was originally planning to "finish" it but I actually think this makes a very nice ending. Blood Wolffe is going to have more stories, right now I am working on a big project with some audience participation. You can get involved by clicking here. As for advice, I would be glad to give what ever I could offer, send me a PM for any questions.
My first attempt with this character, please bear with me...
I. Failure
In a Crey Ind. lab hidden in Alaska's wilderness...
It was time for today's experiment and the subject referred to as project Blood Wolffe was being particularly uncooperative. Jen, the lead scientist was fed up with him.
"Send in the protectors." She said unenthusiastically.
The Heavy door opened and in stepped two protectors, both quite imposing. Picking the close one Blood Wolffe lashed out, and smashed his fist against the visor, sending the now limp protector to the floor. The other one shocked him with an electric blast and he was immediately unconcious.
"See, he is improving." Jen said.
"If you corner any dog it will bite" said Keith, the Figure Analyst sent from Crey HQ to supervise the project.
Well, officially sent to supervise, but his real purpose was to see if this endeavor was worth pursuing any further. The subject was being highly resistant, even after they stopped anesthetizing him for the experiments and surgeries to break his will. Some of the more painful ones got results out of him, but it seemed like he went into a trance for most.
Jen knew why he was here and was taking Blood Wolffe's stubborn behavior personally. After all, this was her life's work and would be a ticket to a top position at Crey.
"He knocked out that protector cold, thats a little more than just a bite." Jen said defensively.
"Its not enough." Keith added "You need results soon."
Blood Wolffe woke up on the table in the lab alone. He had been here many times in the course of his life. He was stolen from his parents as an infant, and experimented on his whole life. That was all he could gather from his numerous breakouts and attempts to find files on what little history he had. He hated them so much he wished he did have powers to destroy the whole compound.
"Are you ready Blood Wolffe?" Jen asked through a loudspeaker.
"No, I think we should postpone doctor, I dont feel well today." he said sarcastically. He hated her most of all.
"Very funny. Xenon exposure in one minute."
The room was filled with a whirring sound and he fealt heavier suddenly.
"Why dont you come in here doctor? I want you to hold my hand."
No response to his sarcasm.
Then his skin started to burn and a siren kicked on to keep him from going into his trance. It never worked though, since he didnt really control it, it came to him.
When he was in the trance it was like he was on some astral plane. It was like being in the woods, running through the trees covered in snow. So fast. He could smell the forest and hear the snow fall. His heart raced faster and faster with excitement as he closed in on his prey. Prey? He was hunting something? He just went with the feeling and let himself feel the rush of adrenaline. Closing in on his prey. Getting closer... closer... closer. He was more alive in the trance than awake.
"Jen, I am afraid I have some bad news." Keith said.
"I need more time, give me six months!" She begged.
"We are having alot better results in numerous other projects. I am reassigning you off of R&D."
Being placed in Alaska was bad enough, but this? She had no choice.
"Whats going to happen to my project?" Jen asked. She cared about Blood Wolffe's potential for her gain more than him, she made sure this was known.
"Blood Wolffe will have to be scrapped, everything that would put a black eye on Crey is to dissappear, everything." His dark tone made her shudder.
