"What did you do to him?" Kate Milligan asked her Uncle Monroe as they stood in the hallway outside of Adam's bedroom.

"We made him better," Monroe told her as he put his hands on her shoulders. "Adam was dead when we brought him here, we had to replace virtually everything. Now he's stronger, he won't be hurt as easily. It would take something inhumanly strong to harm him now."

"I just wanted my son to live, I didn't want you to experiment on him," Kate said.

"Adam is the first human in history to receive a full body organ transplant," Monroe told her. "Every piece of him is now twice as strong as it was. But we can still make him stronger. We can make him immortal. We can make both of you immortal."

"You'll never touch my son again," Kate told him. "I knew this was a mistake. You've turned my little boy into a freak show. Just... leave us alone."

Kate walked away from Monroe and headed back to Adam's room. The boy was laying in his bed in his underwear, with his scarred body visible. The main scar going down his chest, the scars along his arms and legs to replace muscle tendons, and a scar running down his back where his spinal cord had been strengthened. While most of his scars would heal on their own, many of them would remain with him until his death a few years later, when Adam would be caught off guard and eaten by Ghouls.

"It'll be alright, baby," Kate said as she ran a hand through his hair. "You'll never have to see those people again."

Monroe headed back to the operating room, seeing the bloody mess that had been made trying to save Adam. Skin tissue, old organs, blood and other pieces. And that's when Monroe started getting an idea...

Monroe headed to the top floor of his mansion, gently knocking on the door.

"Nana?"

Monroe slowly opened the door, looking at a rocking chair facing toward the window.

"I already know, Monroe. Kate and Adam are dead," an old woman's voice came from the chair without turning to face him.

"How did you--"

"I know everything that happens in this family, no matter how estranged we become. We can bring her back, Monroe."

"But how? We don't have the Book of the Damned."

"We don't need the book for a simple resurrection. I have spells for that, and a few other things that might come in handy, all of them copied from the book itself before it was lost. You will find where Kate she was buried and bring her back to us."

"And what about Adam?"

"I love all my grandchildren, but Adam had grown up to be a bit... problematic. I blame his father's blood. But that's why we have a spare, is it not?"

"He's not ready," Monroe told her nervously. "He's the first clone we've ever fully succeeded in growing. We're still subliminally programming him."

"Then get him ready, we want him to be there when his mother returns," Monroe was getting ready to leave when she said something else. "Are we forgetting something, child?"

"Of course," Munroe stammered nervously. "I love you, Nana."

"Good boy. Now go, make our family complete again."

Monroe headed downstairs to the secret lab hidden within the walls of the mansion. He slowly approached a cylinder filled with liquid, where a naked clone of Adam was breathing through an oxygen mask. For years, the Stynes had looked into cloning human subjects for stronger body parts, but up until the last few years, they still hadn't made their big break through. Adam was the first successful clone, and if this one woke up and performed his duties perfectly, there would be more after more experimentation.
