Sunrise...

Ryan lied with his back against a tree, the sun rising to his left, then jolted as he woke up and opened his, and rubbed the sleep out of them. Despite the calmness, he he had a bee in his bonnet: what was that serum or serums he'd seen? And why was somebody keeping it in a safe? He then took the vial he'd stolen out of his pocket and stared at it for a few seconds, his eyes fixed on it, his mind deep in thought. He then took of the small lid on the top with his right hand, and, bringing it up to his lips, he moved his head backwards as he drank all of the serum in one gulp, his eyes closed. Deep down, he was worried. What if he had just drunken acid? He'd die. Then, a slight but noticeable pain overcame his entire body, making him fall on his back, moving around on the ground in pain, his eyes shut, and groaning sounds coming from out of his mouth. After a few seconds, the pain stopped and he opened his eyes. 

As he moved his upper body up, he felt something odd about his body. He then felt a sneeze coming on, and turned his head to the left as he let it out. ACHOO! As he turned his head to face forwards, he felt something odd, like an extension of himself had formed, and he then looked where it was coming from: he had formed his right hand into a fist as he sneezed, and what he saw took the breath out of him: orange or tan fur had grown all over his entire hand, and in between his four main fingers, protruded three long, pointy claws, the same colour as a bone!

Ryan panted reapidly, almost hyperventilating, as he brought his hand upwards, close to his face, seeing the claws and his. furry hand. He then wondered if anything else about him was different. He then moved up his left trouser leg with his left hand and saw it was also covered in the same coloured fur, as he then saw the claws on his right hand retrackted into his hand, with little feeling at all, in half a second. He then felt than his whole body was covered in fur, and that meant his face too. Getting down on his back again, he turned his body around onto his stomach. He then looked ahead of him and saw a puddle of water. He then crawled towards the puddle using his elbows, and when he came up to the puddle, what he saw shocked him out of his skeleton.

The sight of his head now that of a Lion's made aryan scream as loud as he's ever screamed. "Aaaahhhhhh!!!" The moment he stopped, he felt dizzy and then... he fainted.

A few hours later...

At the Leonez Chemistry company headquarters, Dan sat at the desk in his office on the top floor, a window with a few of Bath behind his back. He was working on a paper when the phone on his desk rang. He picked up the handset and held it against his ear. "Hello? Oh, Mr Fredson. How nice for you to call. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Dan asked to the caller, Mr Fredson, from London. "It's about your serum, Mr Leonez. I've had a chance to think about it. We're not gonna fund you. I understand it's potential, especially the so called "healing" part, but I my opinion, as it is with many of my colleagues in Whitehall, that something like this seems highly weaponisable, you know, enahanced soldiers, could be used against us if it falls into the wrong hands. Plus, it would go badly among our allies, especially the Americans. You know how touchy they're becoming about enhanced individuals, especially since the Mandarin attacks, and more recently, the Avenger and Ultron and Sokovia. Not to mention, there's the possibility of a public outcry from the fact that Her Majesty's government is funding a way enhancing people, especially from something as untested as this." Mr Fredson explain. "Listen to me sir, we can schedule tests, with volunteers of course. Just give me a few weeks, please. Besides, I've already started production." Dan said begged rapidly. "No, I'm sorry. My decision is made. You'll just have to dump all that serum away. Goodbye, Daniel." Mr Fredson said, before hanging up.

Daniel then placed the handset back in place, staring at the wall in front him in silence for a few seconds, before slamming his right hand on the table in anger. 

And that's the sixth chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. I know it seems a bit short, but I couldn't think what else to put. Now you know where the name came from. You've probably seen some resemblance between Wolverine, especially the claws and the healing. I drew the picture a the top myself, by the way. Wolverine and watching "The Lion King (2019)" is kind of where I got those ideas from. But let's just say my hero character NEVER gets metal claws, and since its formed by the serum, the healing only works in that form. More info later. The next chapter be out soon.
