Superficial. A word of many meanings. All of which describe the life of Teresa "Tessa" Ferox.

Tessa was a nine year old orphan living in Central City. She'd been there for three years straight, and she was getting tired of getting walked past. Nobody ever wanted anything to do with her. Why? Because she was a broken child. And nobody wants something that's broken.

One lonely day, the day of the Particle Accelerator Explosion, was the day that everything changed. Getting bitten by a cat as the wave hit her, the girl never expected what she would turn into. A werecat.

A heartless, murderous werecat that Tessa had no control over. As if turning into a werecat wasn't bad enough, if the werecat bit someone, poison would enter the bloodstream of the victim and kill them in under a minute.

Being one of the most lethal metahumans out there, Tessa's supernatural powers put her in the crosshairs of S.T.A.R. Labs.

Barry Allen just thought that the Werecat was another generic criminal that needed to be stopped. When he finds out that she's just a kid, however, he is determined to help her, despite the protests of his friends.

But what if, Tessa really is too far gone? What if, Barry can't catch up with the beast inside of her in time? What if, Tessa causes more destruction than she does good?

I do not own The Flash, or most of its characters. They belong to DC. However, I do own Teresa Ferox.
