I woke up by a push. I open my eyes to see a bunch of flashes and loud noises. I was in handcuffs, and what I saw was the police, an ambulance, and a prison truck.

Then I felt the wave of pain and exhaustion from that fight. I looked behind me to see an adult hero, I recognized them as Wavist, the water hero, he was wearing a blue and white suit with a water drop as a helmet. "You are in a lot of trouble," He said, pushing me.

Soon, I saw more heroes. I saw a few more adult heroes, some staring at me while other heroes cried. Then I looked in the sky to see it was near sundown.

Wavist opened the back of the prison truck and pushed me into it. The truck was silver all around with some sets on the side of it and a little peeping window with small little holes I assume.

I saw another person, she was a girl with a dark green costume and some spikes on it, she had her identity covered. I felt my mask to make sure it was on.

"Good, I got another fucktard with me, what did he do," I heard her say.

"I don't want to hear your vulgar language, and None of your business, Murder Jungle. You both have Tier 3 Hypercuffs, one use of your powers will lead to a heavy shock and we will be notified," Then I saw Wavist connect my cuffs to chains on the truck.

Hypertech is made by ability users in the 'Brain' category who can create advanced tech, some have a gimmick while others are just super-geniuses, it is fucking annoying.

Murder Jungle is a crazy bitch in the villain team known as The Bitchgirls or the public name The Villaingirls.

"Shut up, I don't need your dumb refresher," after she said that Wavist closed the truck door behind them and heard an automatic lock. Then I turned my attention to Murder Jungle.

"what you in here for, you animal," said Murder Jungle.

"I don't know, none of your business," I said, with hostility.

"you fuckin think that you just talk anything to anyone like that, listen here you little bitch, respect your villans or else they won't help you,"

"Like you can help me, hell you can't help yourself," I responded.

"LISTEN YOU FUCKING SNOBBY LITTLE SHIT, IF I GET OUT OF THESE CUFFS, I WILL INJECT MY VINES IN YOU, WITH A POISON THAT WILL AMPLIFY YOUR PAIN RESPECPTERS BY 10x, THEN I WILL SLOWLY TORTURE YOU TO DEATH," yelled Murder Jungle. Then I heard the truck start to move.

"HEY, KEEP IT DOWN BACK THERE, BEFORE I'VE TO SHOCK BOTH OF YOU." I heard the driver. Murder Jungle quieted down.

"Do you have a way to get out of here," I asked which she replied with a laugh. "Yeah sure, Tier 3 hypercuffs are impossible to get out of, and like I would help you anyway."

Then I remembered something, I remembered watching a YouTube documentary about an incident that occurred in California where a villain escaped because they had a power on the cellular level.

"Wait, isn't there a special Hypercuff for cellular power detection," I said.

"Huh, you can manipulate on a cellular level?"

"Yeah, let me try something," I attempted to move a small amount of blood and there was no shock.

I couldn't exactly break out of these cuffs with blood coating, especially in the state I was in, I could barely talk after that fight. Luckily that sleep helped me.

So I detached from my arms by sawing the inside of my wrist. Was it painful? fuck yes but My wrist was sawed in half and my hands and my body were free from the cuffs. Then I stopped the flow of blood before it spilled out.

I held in my scream as Murder Jungle looked at me in the face I could only describe 'what the fuck.' "you have blood manipulation. You have a generative and manipulative power, what kind of awakening did you..."

Then I realized my Hands worked, as I slowly got them out of the cuffs.

"HUH," we both said. I quickly connected my hands. I can describe it as a billion Lego pieces coming together into a shape.

I said grunting at the pain. "Now you need help."

I saw Murder Jungle's face frown. "I don't need your stupid help from a guy like you, and I got people better than you,"

"That's fine unless you..." After I said that, I got smashed into the side of the truck. "Crap, why are they here," I heard the driver. Then I heard some loud noises outside, likely powers and gunshots.

Then I heard someone or something on the roof. Then I looked at Murder Jungle now who was laughing.

I guess they are here.

I felt the vehicle moving side to side, and then I started to hear a helicopter. "STAN DOWN YOU ARE SURROUNDED," I heard a voice from the outside.

Then I heard metal being ripped off of the roof which I quickly stepped away from. Then soon the roof came off and I saw I leopard-like creature come inside.

Before I could react, It pinned me to the wall, holding me by the neck. "MJ, should I kill this villain, he was out of his cuffs?" I saw the villain quickly put up their other claw. Then I recognized this villain, it was Animalistic. " Yeah, he was being fucking annoying, so yes."

She quickly tried to kill me however I moved my head as fast as I could which cut my ear, and then I quickly shot a blood arrow into her. She roared in pain. Then I saw her pull out the arrow and I could see her bleed.

"Not, bad kid. However you messed with the wrong bitch," She said now slowly regenerating the wound. Then I regenerated my ear.

"I don't want to fuck with you right now. I want to get out of here," I said. Animalistic growled. "I don't care. Villains need to be taken care of, so heroes and other teams don't get more firepower. Plus you are a man, you can not join us as we are an all-girls villain team,"

I quickly made a blood arrow and aimed it at Murder Jungle. "I know, so how about now,"

"ANIMALISTIC KILL HIM ALREADY," I heard Murder Jungle scream. I saw Animalistic frown and I heard her say "Dare threaten my gals, I WILL SMASH YOUR HEAD UNTIL IT IS PLASTER," Then before the Truck swerved, I quickly put blood on my head around my head to protect myself, and then the truck crashed. Animalistic Flew out of the top of the truck while Murder Jungle swung violently.

I hit my head feeling a large amount of pain, then I saw Murder Jungle hanging from her cuffs. "I wish that was your neck," I said now pissed.

I got up to hear gunshots and also screams. "ANIMALISTIC IS BITING MY ARM, HEL-" said a voice, then the scream stopped and more gunshots. "Your friend sure has a short attention span," I said while softly laughing however that changed when I looked out to see a horrific sight of people getting ripped in half as well as Animalistic covered in blood.

Then I quickly reacted to someone getting thrown at me and the person was splattered to the wall like a sticker, and I noticed it was a police officer.

"help me," I heard the police officer. I started to absorb blood which took no longer than a few seconds. Then I looked at Murder Jungle now with a facial expression I could only describe in one word, fear.

"What the fuck, you can absorb... other people's blood... too," I heard her say with some studdering, then she almost yelled but I quickly covered her mouth with blood by fusing it with her skin.

"Yeah, I could have killed you and your friend very quickly, luckily since I'm in a rush to get out of here. I will spare you," I said as she was muffling something.

I quickly reduced the pain with some blood by repairing some of my body. I ran out. I saw Animalistic fighting a hero who was shooting out electric-type tendrils, which were stunning Animalistic but I couldn't really see him.

I was running from the fight. However, a flood came out of nowhere and swept me into the forest. I quickly got up but more water came to stop me. I quickly grabbed a tree to stop myself from being swept away by the flood.

"How did you, escape scum?" I could barely hear due to the flood.

"I escaped because of a failed measure," I replied back now realizing who it was.

I attempted to shoot a blood arrow at Wavist however he shot a water beam at me which pushed me off the tree and even broke through it. Causing me to fly back further away from the road and out of the flood range.

Another water beam shot from him, which I dodged. I landed on my back. Fully wet.

When Attempting to get up I felt a sharp shock which caused me to fall to the ground on my stomach.

I looked behind me to see the person with the electric tendrils. Dam she got done with Animalistic.

"So you're the one that killed Octplum," I heard a female voice, and then I recognized her as Stinglasher. Then I heard more trees crashing in the distance, then I saw her walk towards me in her purple costume.

I quickly attempted to shoot my blood from my wrist but it didn't work. I saw my hardened blood turn to liquid. "how about I make you pay the consequences, by dominating you." I saw her start to put the tendrils near my face I quickly absorbed blood in my mouth and shot it out.

She dodged it.

"You think something that slow can hurt me,"

but then I grabbed her leg and started to absorb blood, even if the claws weren't that dense they still did the job.

However, I was met with resistance. I was stung with electricity but I wouldn't let go. Then I saw her tendrils coat her fist.

Then she hit my face which caused my head to smash into the ground. Which almost knocked me out, but I kept awake with all of my willpower. Then I saw more water coming. I rolled over to avoid another attack from Stinglasher.

I got up and sprinted for my life. "HURRY STOP HIM," I heard from Wavist. Then I saw Stinglasher chasing me. I wondered why my blood hadn't worked there, then I noticed the water on my exposed arm. Then I noticed my clothes nearly ripped apart.

Then I learned that water can dissolve blood in a solid state, and also likely affect my manipulation.

Then I got the idea to absorb the water as if I were able to have some control of my body, like opening up a part of me and putting my phone inside, I could do the same thing with water. I spilled my blood into the water and then attempted to absorb it.

It worked.

I saw Wavist in the distance put his hand on the ground and then the ground started to crumble and then It ejected water from the ground a few feet away from me forcing myself to stop.

I quickly jumped to the side to avoid Stinglasher however she used one of her tendrils to grab onto my leg causing me to almost fall.

I was tired so tired in fact, I just felt like dying. Even though I could keep going, the pain and the stress were getting to me. I couldn't just keep regenerating. I needed to counterattack.

I quickly coated my left arm into a circular drill which started to rotate by my will, I didn't know how to control it to the fullest extent but it was good enough.

I attacked Stinglasher. She almost dodged but I drilled some of her midsection which caused her to scream. I absorbed the blood I drilled, then I mocked her.

"No more freaky talk?" I said mockingly as she Yelled and cried in pain.

"STINGLASHER," yelled Wavist. I saw him shoot a thin water slash which I barely ducked from. I saw the attack cut a few trees. With my right hand, to limit my blood wastage I used my finger to shoot out little blood bullets. I shot seven times and two hit him.

I looked at Stinglasher who was on the ground still screaming in pain as I saw her slowly bleeding out. Her tentacles were covering her wound.

Before I could suck her blood up, I felt something on the ground and dodged a waterspout coming from the ground, I dodged to the left of Stinglasher. My eyes went wide while in mid-air I saw Wavist with his arm up ready to shoot me.

"goodnight fucker," I heard him say, the first time I heard a professional hero swear in my life. I made a blood shield to defend myself, However, I realized it was over. The water bypassed my blood shield and hit me point blank in the face launching me back.

I stumbled from the impact and landed my back into a tree. I lay there in pain and with my eyes covered in water and blood. I looked up to see a blurred Wavist walking slowly towards me. I started to absorb the water in my eyes and regenerate but it took longer than usual and I could barely move. I wanted to move but I couldn't my legs and arms were stiff and shaking.

"Is my Spine broken? Oh no, NO NOOOOOOO," I thought as I started to panic internally.

"So Water is your weakness. I didn't do so well in chemistry so I didn't know that either," I heard Wavist say which was bearly autoable.

"How relatable, I hate Chemistry," I said in a scoffing tone.

"Too bad you would have been a cool hero but you're a villain,"

I saw Wavist form a water fist in his right arm. "see you in custody," however before he could knock me out I heard a loud bang, and then I saw Wavist's arm freeze in ice.

"AHHH FUCK," I heard Wavist in pain. Then his legs and whole lower body froze. I looked around in fear and then with my blurry vision I could see the figure before my eyes closed.

...

I slowly opened my eyes to red lighting . "hello," I said with some distortion. Then I start to hear some party music? I didn't know. Then I felt my head hurt like something was drilled inside of my skull.

I looked around, to find medical supplies, bloody surgery tools, some blood packs, some bloody bone fragments, and my phone. Then I saw the walls, It was mostly filled up with posters, and spray paint of mostly naked women. But then the million-dollar questions hit me.

Where am I, who kept me alive, and why am I alive?

I still felt my blood mask.

I know the heroes didn't get me. They either would have killed me or even if they captured me. Even if I was captured I would not be in a dirty and vulgar environment.

I was hit with the realization, the Bitchgirls captured me. What would they do to me? What the hell did they want with me?

My thoughts stopped when I saw the door open to see a person and I recognized them. Known notoriously in Chicago, hell the rest of the United States, The White Serpent. She is known famously across the US, and possibly across the world.

She was married to one of the Shadow Thirteen, the worst terrorist group in the world, Then from what I heard she left her husband for an unknown reason. Then I remembered that she was in an incident that happened in Miami where half the city was in ruin and then Came to Chicago.

She wore a black short-sleeved outfit with what looked to be armor plating, with one of her arms made of her hyper-tech. Then She had high heels with black glasses, with the most notable feature being her white hair.

I Saw in fear as I backed deeper into my bed. Then I realized I could move but before I could think to attack. She talked. "Don't worry kid, I'm not going to kill you. Even if you heard some of the stories." I released a sigh of relief as I was safe. Or just taking a break from another fight likely one I can't win.

"Why, did you not kill me," I said which caused her to giggle.

"Yeah, not a bad question. Real simple, because you have potential,"

"Huh?" Potential, I know I had a powerful ability, that was obvious. However, I never wanted to fight and murder, but I saw no realistic options to gain a million dollars besides luck. Hell, I never wanted to be a superhero after... he died.

"You, have an extremely powerful ability. Blood manipulation, and from what I saw you were capable of fighting two Professional heroes," she started to walk towards me and sat in a chair next to my bed. "and best of all, you're still alive, Though with modifications. Which will cost you."

"Ok, then. So, you want me to join this villain team?" I asked worriedly.

"Of course, I mean you need money for your brother," She said which started to get my heart racing.

"How do you..." Then I was cut off mid-sentence.

"I know you already. You're Louis Lopez, age 15, and live with both Meranda Lopez and John Lopez as your guardians, Have a sickly brother, Jonathan Lopez who has Muscular Dystrophy. You Go to Cliff High School and have a crush on Zenaida Ortega. Killed eight individuals and had PTSD with..."

"STOP," I said with anger.

"Oh, sorry I didn't know that memory was sensitive. I used a stolen mind hyper tech, but this is your price for saving you and implanting tech to make you move again," I heard her say in a soft tone.

"Have you told anyone?" I said in fear.

"I don't share other people's personal lives or information, only I get info on that."

I sigh in relief. I retracted my blood mask, knowing it was useless.

"Ok, what are my options." I couldn't just join a supervillain team. I wasn't thinking about doing that. Not only because some of them hurt innocent people.

"Three options, I can wipe your memories and place a special power repressor in your brain so you can never use your powers ever again, this would be good if you don't want to be a supervillain and we will take the credit for killing you.

The option to play a minor role as an info gathering or a helper as your blood power can probably be used to help people. This will provide pay and a place in case you're in trouble. However, you won't be allowed to fight that often and only in rare situations.

The final option is to join us as a core member, don't worry we do have male workers and had male core members. Also, the rewards are much greater but much riskier. I will give you more details if you choose to join and how we operate.

Also if you choose to work with us and betray us. All of my team will hunt you down and kill you. I thought to mention that," explained The White Serpent. Then I thought about it.

I didn't want to lose my powers so the first option was a no-go. The second option is not bad but also time-consuming, I mean I don't know how much time I have to pay for my brother's meds before he will die.

"What happened to the male members of your core team? I remembered you are an only girl's villain team when I first heard about your team," I said curiously and some worry.

"We do have a male core member however he is mostly not In the fights. Currently, he is busy with some real-life stuff. Yeah, other men usually die or quit because of the ruthless training they were subjugated to and other members not being fond of them."

I knew being a villain wasn't easy, running alone from the heroes and other villains. I now have the opportunity, and I was going to take it. Even if it would be a stupid decision

"Fine, I will become a core member," I said.

"Ok, kid. Meet me tomorrow night at this location," I heard her say and soon I saw my eyes start to see a map.

"I planted a device in you're brain that allows you to see anything that comes up and the device is almost impossible to detect. Best of all no one can see,"

I saw the location, it was somewhere a little away from Chicago. I saw the time and message, 11:00 PM SHARP.

"Where did you get your shit from,"

"It's not shit, it quality hardware and you should respect its capabilities. Anyways here are some new clothes because your old ones are bloodied up," I heard her say as she got up. I saw the new clothes I got a similar hoodie and some sweatpants.

I got out of my hospital bed, put on my clothes, grabbed my phone, and followed her. I went outside of the room and looked below to see a strip club, it was packed with men throwing money at women, people dancing like it was no tomorrow, and a gigantic bar.

"What the," I said in shock, while I heard The White Serpent laugh.

"Don't worry, this is just one of my hideouts, The owner lets me have some rooms on the upper floors," Then I saw her take her phone and talk to someone.

"Hey, I need you to pull up,"

"Yes, Right now,"

"Ok, I will pay you later,"

I soon walked through another door leading to a VIP section however The White Serpent led me to a back door on the side of it. She opened the door and led me to a back alley where I saw a man lying on a dumpster with some alcohol in his hand.

I checked the time on my phone and it was 10:17.

"Huh, thought it would be four in the morning or something," I thought

A few minutes later, a black car pulled up and rolled down the window. "I better get 200 for this, I have an Exam tomorrow," I heard a guy say. I could barely make him out.

"Don't worry Volital. Your job is important but I need you to take this kid home," I heard the White Serpent say.

"Take a useless kid home, Like come on,"

"He is a new core member, and he needs to know the basics,"

"Fine, but I need that 200, Serpent,"

I slowly walked to the car and opened the passenger seat. Then I clearly saw him. He was an older-looking teen with brown hair, he was wearing a black jacket with some jeans.

"So kid. My boss is busy, so I give you a simple rundown of what we do here, but before that what's your name," I heard Volital say.

"Uh, IRL or villain," I said Then he laughed.

"Dam rookies, Both of course,"

I didn't really think about a villain's name, I knew it was important for several reasons, but I hardly thought about it.

However, my train of thought stopped when Volital said. "Just real name for now, Will call you kid until you have one,"

"Louis," I said, at this point.

"Ok kid, This job is dangerous. Before I send you home crying like a baby for being an idiot. Your job as a core member is to go on all missions with us however due to being a Rookie. You would need some basic training.

With this, Serpent expects you to be at all of them, and I don't care how you do it or what you have to do. JUST BE THERE ON TIME," I heard him say with some aggressiveness in his tone.

"Ok,"

"Serpent, talked a lot about you earlier after we got Murder Jungle back so you better be worth it, Because I will tell you right now Young kids like you won't last long on this team.

If you get captured, we won't help you like with Murder Jungle, But showcase your worth and Survive on the Superhuman streets, and we will start caring about you,"

"I understand," So this is what it means to be on a team. Cruel and Evil.

"Also, what you did to Murder Jungle wasn't cool, However since you didn't kill her. Be happy that you're alive, because if you would have killed her. Oh boy, heroes would have been giving you backshots."

"HUH? What the fuck is that supposed to mean," I said in confusion. to which Volital laughed.

"I won't lie though, you did make her scared for real. She often talks big but when she is put in a situation where things don't go her way she gets nervous,"

The rest of the ride was mostly silent when we arrived at my apartment Volital told me one last thing. "Betrayal is a sin, do it and you will be killed,"

I got out of the car. Then I took off the hood of my head. Walked up to the door and realized I destroyed my keys with my backpack.

"UGH, FUCK" I said in annoyance. I looked around to see if there were people, but there were cameras.

I put my hand in my pocket and then on the doorknob and put blood inside to open the door.

I went upstairs To my apartment and used the same blood technique to open my apartment door.

When I opened the door I saw my father on the couch watching TV, with some food on the kitchen table. I closed the door and went to eat.

While I was eating with my father to my back, he started to talk which caught me off guard.

"Hey kid stop pushing yourself so hard," I heard him say.

"I have to, you're not making ends meet. I mean look what I had to do in the summer,"

"I know, but listen, You're working too hard. If you burn out like this It will affect your learning,"

"I can't my brother needs to live, he never got to learn or have fun as I did,"

"I know but me and your mother agree we might have to pull the plug in a month. The pricing is starting to rise," Those words started to make me mad with tears coming out.

"THINK? WHAT, YOU SUGGESTING TO KILL MY BROTHER..." I turned around and yelled in anger. However, I could see my father crying.

"I'm sorry, after your uncle died we could barely afford the medication, We failed as parents." I heard him say.

"Don't bring him into this, you know how I feel when you talk about him," I said now more tears started to flow. "You can't. Why can't you bring more money home, THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT, I NEED TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME..." I stop myself from speaking.

"I know, we don't want to do it, but we tried everything,"

"WHY, TRY SOMETHING. DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL. YOU ARE JUST GIVING UP," I said with more tears down my face. Right as those words left my mouth my dad slapped me hard.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, DO YOU THINK CRIME CAN PAY, KNOWING THAT YOU ARE HURTING OTHERS FOR YOUR BENEFIT?

IF YOU TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT I WILL DISOWN YOU. ME, YOUR MOTHER, YOUR BROTHER, AND YOUR UNCLE WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO BE A CRIMINAL FOR THEM," My father screamed however I stomped back to my room and slammed the door.

I sat on the bed crying, remembering all the pain I went through, my power awakening, the people I killed, my brother being unable to live, and my uncle.

He was the man who taught me everything even more than my parents. How to fight, taught me where powers came from, and how to deal with stuff like this...

I remember that day, the day that reality was taught to me. How Heros and villains weren't just white and black.

They killed him because they were afraid. They were scared about the public knowing about something, I can't remember but it had to do with those crystals.

Then I remembered earlier today when I had the vision. What was that thing? It was like the pink or blue crystals, usually the size of your pinky or smaller, but that one was purple and looked bigger.

Usually, crystals are one way to give superpowers, or nothing happens. How did I see a new crystal that doesn't even exist? What did my uncle know?

I snapped out of my questions as I remembered something from my Uncle.

"crying is ok, just remember it is not a way forward, that is something you need to do yourself. Now get back up and start fighting the challenges, if you want to be a hero you will save what you can," as my uncle's voice echoed through my head.

I stopped crying and wiped my eyes.

I got up from my bed and looked in the mirror.

The world is against me, but I have power now. I have the power to change. The ability to save or kill. I shouldn't think I'm weak, you're alive after all.

You couldn't save Uncle Lu, but I can save my brother.

No, I will save my brother, No more holding back.
