[Spin-off from Lover's Lane]
Joseph, after the disband of the Wild Fury Rangers, was starting to have a normal life. Well, as normal as it can be with having powers given to you from an explosion. That was until a...
Now that that party was over, I had to head back home. Annaliz asked if I needed a ride, but I declined. I prefer walking. Plus, walking helps me get my thoughts straight.
What if dad did change? What if he didn't? I can't be sure, can I?
I shook my head to snap out of it and just focus on heading home.
After a few miles to my house, Scales suddenly got out of my watch. "Huh? What's wrong Scales?" I asked him. He looks at me. "I sensed two people's presence a couple minutes ago, but one of them just faded," he said. "Really? Where?" I asked looking around. "Follow me," he said hovering off towards a alley between a pharmacy and a for sale building. I started looking around. There wasn't much to see. That was until I found something that caught me off guard.
I walked behind the trash can and my eyes widen. "N- No," I said in a horrified looked. "No, no, no, no, no......" I kept saying just as I fall to my knees. What was right before me was my biological dad's lifeless corpse on the floor, with an arrow impelling him. There, was so much blood. "D- Dad. No, please wake up. Please," I said, with tears being shed. Scales levitates there, quietly. "I'm sorry Joseph," he finally said sitting on my shoulder and looking down. I continued sobbing when something caught Scales attention. He sees a flyer with some kind of snake symbol that had been attached to the wall by a butterfly knife.

I quickly look at it. I pause for a moment, then take the flyer out, along with the knife. I look at the flyer and start gripping it tightly. I then frown and let out a scream almost like a growl. "Scales...... Lights out! NOW!" I yelled with rage in my eyes. "Oh no-" said Scales before being sucked back inside the watch.
I started running and swinging around trying to find a no good thug, thief, or any maggot that knows who and what the bloody symbol is from. I want to find the person who did this. I don't care how, I will find the bastard and KILL HIM MYSELF! I quickly found a bunch of sketchy people who were around a flaming barrel, which provided enough light to see 3 people. One of those idiots must know something. Time to find out.
Thug's POV
"Huh, hey Benny? What you got there?" I asked in an accent. "Oh you know, some of the supplements I was able to take from that drug run," said Benny. "Hey, can we have some?" Said a slightly big, fat fellow. "Yeah, can we?" I continued. "Hmph, we'll see. Well, I gotta go piss. Be right back. And maybe I'll share some," he said heading towards the darkness. "Did you hear that Billy, the boss' ll give us some," I said. "Well it's about time," said Billy. But just then, from within the darkness...... "AAHHHHHH!" Yelled a voice in the darkness. Both of us look at the darkness, a bit spooked. "U- Um........Benny? You alright?" I asked a bit shaken. There was a silence.
"Benny isn't here anymore," said a voice. "W- Who's there?" Said the big guy. Just then a figure approached. It was the Hooded Phantom. But he looked different. He looked more, sinister. Hell, even a blind guy would've notice. We took a step back. "Now then, who should I kill first," said the Phantom suddenly appearing behind Billy. And in an instant he suddenly pulled out a butterfly knife and slit Billy's stomach, forcing his intestines to start pouring out. And just as Billy was gonna scream in pain, the Phantom just slit his throat, leaving a huge pile of blood on the wall. As Billy's body fell to the floor, I felt a great deal of fear rush towards me. "BILLY!" I yelled before the Hooded Phantom pointed his handgun towards my head. I started shaking like a scared dog. "What's your name?" He asked. I hesitated.
"M- My name is S- Samuel. B- But my friends call me S- Sam," I said stuttering. "Alright, Sam....... do you know anything about this," he said showing me a flyer. My eyes widen. "C- Cobra," I said. "So you DO know what this is. Spill it," he said in a aggressive voice. "W- Well, they're a criminal organize that specialize in drug runs, illegal weapons and assassinations. P- People say that they work with the SCP foundation. Th-that's all I know! I swear!" I said trying my best not to stutter but failing. He looks at me. "Please, I have a family to take care of!" He went silent. "10 seconds.......," he said. "Huh?" I said, confused. "You've got 10 seconds to run. Go, before I change my mind," he said giving me a chance. And so I took it. I started running a few feet away from him.
