Path of The Wolf: A Subject 9 and Prodigal Angel Story

Blood Brothers

(Food Court, Middletown Mall)

Rodrigo was staring at Nicky, or Dominic, with a face full of shock. Dominic was Rodrigo's young brother when Rodrigo left to join the Insurgency. Rodrigo had not seen his brother for 6 years in his perspective.

Rodrigo: How are you alive? This is 2644, not 2025! You're supposed to be...well...you know!

Dominic (Nicky): Would you be surprised that the U.S. Government started to manufacture new cryogenic chambers after the success of the first one? The first one that Special Projects created?

Rodrigo: As a matter of fact, I am surprised. But how did you survive the near extinction of our people? Did...did Aaron survive?

Before Dominic could respond with an answer, Vicky came to the scene with a few shopping bags and a shocked face.

Vicky: Rodrigo? What happened here? *Sees Dominic* Woah! Is he what I think he is!?

Rodrigo: Vicky, meet my brother, Dominic. Dominic, meet my friend,-

Dominic: I know who she is. She's that little journalist from Middletown Tails. I met her before, but she hasn't met me yet.

Vicky: I don't understand what you mean by that. I never met you in my life!

Tina: *Walks up next to Rodrigo* Vicky, remember at your friend's apartment where he was killed at and we were then attacked by government agents?

Vicky: I don't want to remember that day. But it still leads me to wonder how they know we were there.

Tina: Same here, maybe Rodrigo's brother here might tell you how that happened.

Vicky looked at Dominic expecting a answer, but Dominic just looked at her and couldn't even say a single word at all. Tina was starting to get impatient with him, so she told Vicky herself.

Tina: Dominic here was part of EXA when my friends and I were still fugitives. He has been spying on us ever since we escaped the facility for the first time. He is a spy that was sent by Caan, but now he's just a unemployed guy who just wants to kill.

Dominic: In my defense, I was never like this before. I was manipulated... well, actually forced to. Let me explain, back in 2025, I was with Aaron when we heard of the U.S. government had launched nuclear warheads towards Hispanic countries. A few months after the destruction of our people's homelands, the UHI began to fall, so did The Brotherhood. That lead the advantage for the U.S. government to take back the liberated states. When the U.S. Army took back all the states, they took me and Aaron to a Special Projects facility here in South Carolina for one thing,... experimentation. That's when Wolf Blood Red came in. They injected me the serum and I soon gained lycanthrope or hunter abilities and the ability to charge energy balls out of thin air. They also injected Aaron with Wolf Blood, but the Wolf Blood he was injected with was different. Very different. He was injected with Wolf Blood Orange. The serum give him lycanthrope abilities just like you and me, but the serum also give him shape-shifting abilities. A few days later, we were separated from each other, Aaron was taken to another facility and I was taken to another. When I went to the facility, I was put into a cryogenic chamber to ensure the survival of our people or that's what at least what they told me. After 618 years, I was finally released from the chamber by soldiers of a government agency I worked for and despised,...EXA.

Tina: EXA agents released you? Why would they do that, they have no idea what you're capable of! I mean, look around you! You knocked out everyone except me and Rodrigo.

Dominic: You forgot about the cats, as a matter of fact, you should probably get them out.

Tina: Why should I? You drop them in there in the first place!
