A Virals Fanfic- Strike

Chapter 1

Tory' POV

"Okay, so what else do we need?" I asked Shelton, ignoring Hi and Ben messing around. We were fixing the bunker the Trinity burnt down, and we were doing a pretty dang good job if I do say so myself.

We had finished most of the outline, and were working on building the walls. The bunker was shaped like a castle, with three stories. I know, its sounds huge, but it's actually not that big. Besides, we still had some cash leftover from Anne Bonny's treasure, and from my allowance that consisted of leftover cash from selling the 10 pages of the Book of Fells.

"The bricks." Shelton replied.

I yelled at Ben. "Go get the bricks, would ya?" I smirked. Since he was the largest and strongest, he was burdened with the task of carrying.

"Fine!" He yelled back. "Just lemme do this first." He then jumped up, took Hi by the leg, ran all the way down to the beach and dumped him in the water.

"I'll go get the bricks now!" He yelled back up at me, laughing the entire time.

"Ha ha." Hi spluttered, now soaking wet. "Next time go get Shelton, kay?

Crack! Crack!

I"m running through a forest with people right behind me. This seems familiar, but I don't remember hearing the beach...? I trip and stumble to the ground. I don't remember that tree root either... As I bolt back up, I feel an arm grab on to my shoulder...

"Tory? Are you alright?" I woke up with Shelton's worried face peering back at me. I automatically scoot back... and roll over Cooper, falling onto the floor.

Blargh.

As I lay sprawled on the floor, Cooper bounced up on me, and squashed me to the floor, making sure I would never leave.

"Cooper! Get off!" I demanded. I heard muffled laughs. I turned to see Hi behind me, red from keeping in laughter. Ben was sitting on the edge of the bed, and I realize it was only 5:00 am.

WTF?

"Can't you all just let me sleep a little?" I groaned. This caused them to burst out laughing. Great. Amazing even. Who knows what they boys were talking about when I was asleep, much less what Kit and his blond bimbo *Cough* Whitney were thinking. Wait a minute... Might as well see what my 'parents' were doing.

SNAP

I flared pale blue, and the boys, oblivious to me and my flaring, kept on laughing. I reached out, and quickly checked on Whitney and Kit.

Hmmm...

Sound asleep. Apparently Whitney was oblivious to loud noises. As I came back from my mental trip downstairs, I decided to get some payback. Smirking, I connected my pack and...

BOO!

The look on everyone's face was priceless. Ben lost his balance and fell to the floor. Hi yelped with surprise. Cooper lept off me like he could fly. And Shelton? He took of running into my bathroom. As I burst into laughter, I realized I connected the pack twice as fast as before.

Must be the blue flare, I thought.

Okay, let me back up a bit and explain. One year ago, me and my troop of boys, Ben, Hi and Shelton, went into one of LIRI's guarded labs and rescued a wolfdog puppy, Cooper. He was infected with an unstable version of Parvovirus B19(A sickness that can be given from dog to human in this case), which in turn was transmitted to me and my buds.

Couple days later we go really sick, and started blacking out.

Once we got in control of it, we found out we had wolf DNA intertwined with our human DNA, and we could flare. A couple months later, a good frenemy of mine started a project, called Brimstone. This was apparently another version of the Parvo, and infected Will, Cole and Chance, as well as my friend Ella, or the Trinity.

Then we got caught by the government because of the other group, Trinity, and were forced to drink the 'cure' to flaring. Now I found out I could still flare, and Chance's cure only worked with the Trinity, since their virus was the basis of the cure.

"What are you all doing here?" I said, between giggles. "I thought you all said we needed to rest."

"We do but... I was bored." Shelton's face popped out of my bathroom. "Also, how did you flare?"

"Um... kinda just happened?" I winced. It sounded so fake! Ben was also glaring at me. Not helping.

"How?" He demanded. I figured if I told what I guessed was the reason why I flared, they would get it and flare too.

And a one, a two, a one two three four!

" Well... I kinda didn't want to be normal, so I may have done something to make all my wolf DNA come back and repopulate my normal DNA?" My tone made it sound like a question. I hurried on. "I think I know why our eyes flare different colors!" This caught their attention. "Besides, I think our flares relate to emotions! Our gold flares had to do with anger, and why our flares were so short and quick. Chance's, Ella's, Will's, and Cole's flares were based on vengeance, and why their flares lasted longer and could be used more than once. My flare right now is blue, because-" I was cut off by Ben.

"-It has to do with passion and happiness. It's why we can access it 24/7." Ben finished. The silence was broken by Shelton. He had come out of the bathroom and was standing at the doorway.

"Wait a minute. So you guys have been flaring without telling us? That's cruel man!"

Hi wailed. "I knew it! Knew it knew it knew it!" I was shocked by his reaction.

"Hold on." I paused for emphasis. "Ben, you're saying you knew all along about the blue flaring and didn't tell us?" Everyone was staring at Ben.

He reddened. "I may ha- Shhh!" He hissed. "Someones coming up the stairs!"

"Tory? Are you awake?" The bimbo's voice floated toward me.

Shit!

"What?" I talked while making sweeping motions to the boys, telling them to hide in the bathroom.

"I thought I heard lau- Oof!" I heard a thump.... then a shriek.
