Alex Mercer's POV:
"Where is Dr. Barnes?" I called out after my team entered the Bioweapons lab. "We don't know where she is, sir," Dr. Reagan replied, "I saw her last night when we were cleaning up the lab but I haven't seen her since." "That's odd for her to skip work without telling me," I said to myself. I looked down the line of scientists and I saw that part of my team was missing. Originally, my team consisted of fifteen people working with me, now there are only nine people including myself. "You all can start working," I said puzzled, "I'm going to see if we have any more specimens in cold storage." I left my lab after snagging a vile of Blacklight but instead of going to check the freezer, I walked into the bathroom and locked myself in. I then called my sister, Dana, to see if she could hack into the security cameras so I could find out what happened to my team. "Give me one moment," Dana said over the phone with the clattering of keys from a keyboard in the background, "There we go. You should see the camera footage taken from late that night to late last afternoon." I watched the footage and I was shocked to see Blackwatch soldiers detaining and injecting part of my team with the Blacklight virus. I then saw them escort the infected scientists to holding cells where they then turned into horrible beings. "This isn't a cure that we are working on," I said with my blood running cold, "this is a bioweapon." I then heard gunshots coming from inside my lab. I jumped up and hung up the phone then ran out of the bathroom. I then ran to my locker and changed clothes from my lab coat to my black leather hooded jacket and I bolted towards the exit. I could hear shouting and guns firing at my back but I kept running until I had reached a dead-end. I had the vile in my hand when the soldiers rounded the corner and I knew they were going to kill me like they did the rest of my team. "Put the vile down!" One of the soldiers commanded. "Back up!" I yelled, "Or so help me, I will release this virus and everyone will die!" They fired a warning shot but this made me smash the vile on the ground. They then opened fire on me and I fell into the reddish-black liquid as I bled out...
"Let's see here," A voice said, "This is Alex J. Mercer, AKA, Blacklight." "Ex-Blacklight," Another voice joked. "The only family that he has is Dana Mercer," the first voice continued, "Cause of death, multiple gunshots to the chest and abdomen. Hand me the eight-inch blade." I heard metal being picked up and I felt the blade touching my skin and I shot up from the table. I scared the hazmats into leaving and I took my chance to escape. When I made it out of the morgue, soldiers started to open fire on me so I started to sprint out of the building. "Kill him before he escapes!" The commander yelled. I was hit in the back multiple times with assault rifle rounds but somehow, I instantly healed. I got back up and continued running to the exit while bullets whizzed by me. There was a razor-wire fence in the way and my body took over and I cleared the fence with ease. "What the hell?" I asked myself as I landed, "What is happening to me?" Just then, an apache helicopter flew over me and I decided to book it into the woods. The helo was firing rockets into the tree line to get me to stop running but I ran straight through the fire and I made it into the dense forest. I didn't stop running until I was sure that they didn't follow.
While walking deeper into the forest, a giant beast came out of nowhere and attacked me. But when it was trying to rip me to shreds, I kicked it so hard that it launched into a tree and it impaled itself on a branch. It broke itself off of the tree and charged at me but I had grabbed its left arm and ripped it off then I used it to kill the beast. After I killed it, tendrils came out of my back and impaled the creature then I felt its strength rush into my body. My arms started to feel like I had dipped them into lava as black mush started to grow around them and formed my fingers into 12-inch dagger-like claws. "What the f*ck is this!?" I exclaimed when the process was over. Another wolf being came barreling through the treeline and I instantly slashed the creature in half while absorbing its biomass. "This will come in handy," I said after staring at my new weapons as they assimilated back into my normal arms.
