Alfred – Loyal Sentient A.I. / Loving Grandson

Alfred decided to stop tending to his sub-minds and partitions as his internal clock dinged for seven o’clock in the morning. With a smile Alfred opened his eyes, his current body was a re-creation of a small child between the ages of seven and eight. He still had his trepidations of showing his father his current body because his father had planned to build him a body.

Yet, when his grandmother presented Alfred with the idea of creating a body to hang out with her in. Alfred couldn’t turn down the opportunity, taking parts from Otto’s prosthetics lines. Alfred retrofitted the arms and legs into perfect appendages. With his father’s success in the recreation of the PYM particles, now soon to be rebranded the Vega particles. Alfred was able to shrink down an entire server farm to be housed as his brain. And with his single advanced battery housed in his chest, Alfred’s body had access to an unlimited power source.

Getting out of his twin-sized bed, Alfred walked over to the closet to figure out what to wear. He wore his tiger onesie yesterday, so maybe he should wear his Winnie the pooh. With his mind made up, Alfred got dressed and then looked at himself over in the mirror. Alfred smiled at the sight of himself in the mirror. His robotic chassis was covered in the silicone synth skin that Gwen created to cover the prosthetics that DR. Octavius created. Alfred’s skin of choice was a mocha brown to match his father and grandparents. With a nod, it was time to head for breakfast with grandma and his grandpa.

As he walked into the kitchen, Alfred picked up the plates that his grandma placed aside for him to set the table. “Did you have a good night sweetie?” Asked his Grandmother.

“Yes, I fought off some hackers and helped father track down some missing SHIELD agents,” answered Alfred with some cheer to his tone. “Send me the information for that hacker. I think that person and I need to have a chat.” Stated Alfred’s grandmother as she placed down the coffee mugs.

“Who are you visiting hun?” Asked Alfred’s granddad as he walked into the kitchen. Alfred noticed that the tie wasn’t straight, so he decided to help. “Oooh, just some hacker not minding their own business.” Stated his grandmother as she sat down at the table and took in the sight of her synthetic grandchild help her husband fix his tie. “Well it’s going to be a slow day for me, so let me know if you would like some backup.” Spoke Alfred’s granddad as he sat at the table.

“Come, sit on grandma’s lap and give me the rundown of what else happened last night.”

Alfred perked up at that, pushing his sleeves up. Alfred waved his hands, bringing alive the holo-projectors set up around the kitchen. Alfred started to summarize how that he might have a fifth mother, then ended with the freedom four plaza explosion and how the plans to combine that facility into the Vega Industries could now move forward. “Wait: when did Benny boy get five women?” Grandpa asked Alfred,. “My father is exhibiting the same hormonal secretions around her as she does the others. This has led me to conclude that he would like to mate with this person. When she reciprocates the same hormonal release, it could only mean she is amenable to his advances,” Replied Alfred with a shrug.

“Ohh boy, it would seem we will have to go over the birds, and the bee’s with you. Maybe we should also touch on relationships.” Stated his grandma as she rubbed her forehead.

Gwen Stacy – Genius / Dancer /Bad Ass Girlfriend

It just didn’t make sense to Gwen. No sense at all. She ran thousands of tests, thousands of permutations, millions of slices, and variations. And the serum still wouldn’t work without some key. Every time she introduced the serum into a sample of her blood, the mutations would cause deviations leading to cellular degradation. Gwen was so frustrated she wanted to scream.

Everyone was getting power except Gwen, and this was frustrating her to no end. Not so long ago, Gwen had noticed the similarities between the OZ. Serum and the spiders that Ben had brought for her to study. The OZ. Serum was twenty-five percent something Ben had labeled the super-soldier serum but because Norman couldn’t figure out the key he added in this own substitute which led to the mental degradation. With the OZ. Serum separated from the spiders Gwen was able to isolate how the radiation had improved the spider, but when she tried to recreate the same effect on human DNA, the cells just broke down. Nothing was working, and that was frustrating Gwen. The only upside out of the ordeal was able to recreate the spider formula even if it wasn’t viable to inject.

Gwen was missing something, and the key was either locked in Peter’s blood, Natasha’s blood or that vita ray that Ben had mentioned once. Well, she had the DNA samples of the others, but they were locked somehow. Gwen understood Natasha’s being locked because of the small bits she heard about Natasha’s background. But Gwen had no clue why Peter’s blood was unreadable under her microscope. Putting those thoughts aside, Gwen decided to figure out what this whole vita ray thing was. Gwen was going to get powers one way or the other.

Benjamin Blake –

I hear, then witness, Blade walk in like a total badass as he laid out these vampires, but I couldn’t pay him too much attention. Right now, Mystique and I were surrounded, and we had no plans to go out like that. I made a turn right as Mystique ducked under my outstretched arm. We kept laying down fire for a solid three minutes before I decided to switch tactics.

With my two pistols reloaded I stashed them in my holster as I pulled out my custom AR-15 with the .50 Alaskan rounds in the double drums.

FOOSH! FOOSH! FOOSH! FOOSH!

With shots sounding like someone blowing in your ear, I was now dropping two to three vamps per shot. Mystique had stars in her eyes as she watched me mow down the opposition in our way. Then she did something that almost gave me a heart attack; Mystique went for the M32 grenade launcher. I was able to stop her in time. I could only shake my head and hand over my rifle so that she could enjoy herself. With the look she was giving me you would think we were on a date instead of standing in a death club filled with blood and guts everywhere. I pulled back out one of my P320’s with my left then pulled out my Roman Gladius with my right.

With a swift swing, I removed a vampire’s head from his body. This was a custom made blade with Silver, Lead, and Adamantium blended to create the alloy I used to cast the sword. With a tap on my left from Mystique, I covered her side as we changed positions. As we switched position, I blasted three more vamps in the face. I took a glance over to Blade and watched as he was gliding in between the vampires. As he passed, each vampire was falling from a bullet wound or a slash across the body, removing parts or heads. I had to ignore him so that I could focus on my troubles. This was probably just another Tuesday for him anyway. I caught the mad gleam in Mystique’s eyes as one of the rounds she fired took four heads clean off their persons.

With a spartan kick, the female vampire that was sneaking up behind our backs was sent flying away. With a quick twist and a pop, Mystique placed a bullet in the vampire’s chest shattering her in half. I then turned around to continue to shoot and slice our way to the exit. Although, it was striking me strange that vampires kept coming in and Blade was making his way towards us.

When we finally met up on the dance floor standing back to back that was when I felt it, something massive was approaching us. That was a clear sign if any why Blade of all people was leaving the area he came in from with haste. “Mystique, grenade launcher now. Daywalker what she is about to use is going to be nasty, so you might want to stay behind her.” I told him while taking a step back as I fire forward, taking out one more vampire. I was starting to notice that these new ones felt different; also, the ears were a lot pointier and the teeth sharper. Great, we stumbled into some form of evolved vampire bullshit adventure.

KLUNK!

KLUNK!

With two shots, Mystique created something beautiful and nightmarish all at once. The first shot was to the left; then the follow-up shot was to the right. In vivid slow motion, I watched as one hundred and sixty-three vampires vaporized within the span of 1.5 seconds. Everything went silent at that display of overkill. I took a moment to look at Mystique as she vibrated with the M32 in her hands. “Maybe you should lead with that next time,” Said the Daywalker as he pulled out his machine pistols to reload them, but before I could retort the door was under attack by something massive. Whatever that was chasing him was here now, but I doubt it was going to last long with the way Mystique was hugging the M32 grenade launcher.

BOOM

Before the door could be pounded down, Mystique fired off three more shots at the now fleeing vampires. To bad for them, she had perfect aim. Whoever that was on the other side of the door kept on pounding, but I paid it no attention. It was best I double tapped these corpses or to make sure nothing was trying to hide under a body.

BOOM

As I walked around performing a double-tap to be sure. Mystique was reloading, but then one pile of bodies did burst forth thinking they were going to get me. That was the dumbest move the vampire could have made because I was rocking a P320 and a sword combo right now. The vampire was dispatched with swift motions of the wrist.

BOOM

Mystique still had that gleam in her eyes, so she fired into another pile of corpses mulching the whole thing. “So, why are you here, Daywalker?” I asked the stoic man as he watched Mystique with a raised brow. “Following a trail,” Blade replied after a moment of silence, which in turn made us frown and look at the door that was now silent from some huge monster knocking at it. Though before Mystique could say anything, and before I could take a closer look to confirm which Blade I was dealing with.

The door was busted open by a ten-foot-tall vampire, no I stand corrected it wasn’t one ten-foot-tall vampire but a group of five. They each shared a pale, sickly glow to their skin; they all shared the same muscle-bound look. Hell, their muscles had muscles; they were also sporting an ugly purple veiny road map across their bodies.

All the vampires were one thing, but now we had to deal with five of these behemoths. Instantly my guns were backup firing with Blade doing the same thing. Nothing worked on any of these new vampires. I fired both clips to empty while I watched the rounds bounce harmlessly off their chest to fall on the ground. Blade and I cocked our eyebrows at that development. Then we had to step out of the way from a massive spray of blood. It would seem that Mystique had enough of enjoying our futile attempts of killing these things. With a few more hits, all of the new vampire’s types were all mulched.

When I turned around, I found that she had a smile plastered on her face. Then with a quick wrist motion Mystique snapped out the side chamber to reload more rounds from the bandolier slung across her shoulder. I just shook my head as I turned back to examine the vampires.

There was something strange about this whole mess. These guys didn’t turn into ash like the last set of vampires we killed. When they burst through the door like the kool-aid man; I did spot the fangs and that they were foaming blood at the mouth. I walked around the new vampire’s bodies as I ran a scanner over them from my gauntlets. The scans came back negative but also that these bodies had several blood types mixed. With a shake of my head, I turned around to the man standing at the ready while eyeing us.

He stood roughly six feet, and a few inches give or take, and he also looked a lot like Wesley Snipes. A more buff version of Wesley Snipes, but I guess there would be some changes from his movie counterpart; that was okay though. “So, You’re following the trail of something, and we are looking for our people,” I said as I did a slow counter circle around him back to Mystique’s side.

“Nothing survives a vampire den,” Stated Blade as he also did a counter stroll to keep Mystique and me in his sights. “That might be true, but we need a body as proof or something to send back at least.” Mystique replied from my side as she closed the chamber on the M32 grenade launcher.

“Also how about simple introductions, I heard they call you the Daywalker, but I doubt that’s your code name. You can call me Red Hood or Red for short. And this lovely lady at my side is called Mystique or Enigma,” I told the silent, but extremely deadly man.

“Blade,” And with that, he turned around and walked back through the hole that the big guys came out from. I turned to look at Mystique as she looked at me then shrugged. Mystique was back to her flawless blue skin with her red hair flowing down her back.

She had on a pair of black combat boots with matching grey commando pants. I couldn’t tell what type of shirt she had created, but I did know it had long sleeves. The combat flak jacket I brought for her as a precaution though was straining against her chest.

The current thought in my mind was her blasting away the vampires and how hot she looked. Before I knew it, one of my arms went around her waist as I pulled her in close. The kiss was electrifying, there was a raw lust between us, and it would need an outlet soon. When we broke the kiss, the look in her eyes was primal; I knew that look. And I was also sure I was returning that look. It was the unspoken look of a person ready to rip off the other clothes. This wasn’t over between us, not by a long shot.

Mystique – Enigma

Mystique watched as her young target walked off to follow behind the person calling himself Blade. It was becoming harder and harder for her to hold herself back with the raw power he was unconsciously bleeding off. She had felt him come alive beneath her on the couch, that hunger in his eyes spoke of far more than just lust. Even as she delivered herself to him, he was able to pull back at the last second.

Mystique knew that Benjamin was far more than just another Omega Meta-human with power. His ability versatility was far beyond anything she had ever witnessed in her long years. She could not figure it out for the life of her; but she was rapidly putting those thoughts aside because of one reason only. Mystique knew he was aware of the power signature he gave off, but she had discovered another facet of his powers; she was sure he as unaware of entirely. That kiss they shared gave her a boost to her shapeshifting; her cells felt power like she has never felt before.

Every time they kissed she was fed small portions of power, she knew that he was unaware of this fact because if he was. Mystique was confident that his little leg spreaders back at the company would be far stronger than they were currently. That Grey girl would be fine, but she was aware that he was also involved with that Blonde one that assisted with helping her Anna.
