The Wolf

*Reach’s POV*

My eyes shot open. My vision was blurry and obscured, I was surrounded by what felt some kind of water-like fluid and a cylinder glass containing the fluid with what looked to be a control panel outside of it, with tubes connected to me. Despite being in this fluid, I am able to breath. I looked outside of the glass to see two ape-like things, with one writing something down on what seems to be a note pad. One presumably female and the other presumably male. The female stopped writing and started walking towards the panel while looking at me. The panel itself had buttons all over it ranging from small to big buttons with flashing lights, and levers.

The female switched a lever, making the tubes connected to me detach, then she pushed a button. The liquid started to drain, making my vision clear and forcing me standing with surprisingly dry fur. Wait, Fur? What am I? I lift both my arms up and see hand covered in white fur but I only have 4 fingers in total. I put down my arms and look down to my feet and see wolf-like white furred paws. I seem to be an anthropomorphic wolf. If I am correct, I should have a tail. I turn my head towards the area where my tail should be and I see a impossible long tail. I felt like I know so much yet so little. I look over my body again and notice some kind of contraction surrounding my chest area. I look back up to the ape creatures and see the male type something, making the cylinder detach from the top where it was connected and then come down completely. I got a clear look and they weren’t ape creatures, they were humans. The male was tall, standing a head taller than me withshort hair and seemed to be wearing some kind of green uniform adored with medals all over it. The female was significantly shorter than me and the male. She was wearing black glasses with what seemed to be a white lab coat and snug blue pants. She had long black hair with blue streaks that reached down to her waist.

The female took a somewhat nervous step towards me while the male pulled out a weird machine that looked similar to a gun but different in its own way. Yet I did not feel threatened with the weapon pointed at me.

“Do you understand me?” She asked in a shaky tone.

“Why are you asking it that!?!? That thing is the most powerful weapon created of all time not a little kid! Beside it doesn’t have a mouth!” This surprised me. I’m a weapon? What kind of weapon? Apparently a deadly one too. I don’t have a mouth? I lifted my right hand towards my face and feel for a mouth but I don’t feel anything. The male’s grip on his weapon tighten as his hand was shaking a little. Despite not having a mouth, I’ll still respond to the question. I slowy drop my hand to my side.

“Yes I can understand you.” I said to my own surprise. The male lowered his weapon while the female was jumping in an excited matter. The male looks at me with a curious yet perplexed look. He turns toward the woman and asks.

“What can be do, I can see trillions of dollars worth in this project already but why this design choice?” The woman stop jumping in excitement but still adored a huge smile.

“If he were to have a digestive system, by my calculations, it would cost millions upon millions of dollars to get a single meal for him due to massive amounts of energy being burnt by his use of powers.” she said in a factual tone. The male chuckled and turned around.

“Let’s test his powers then, shall we?” The woman nodded and looked at me.

“Follow me.” So I did. I followed behind the two, we walked in front a giant metal door with a hand scanner on the side. The lady walked towards the scanner and put her hand on it. After a few short seconds of waiting, the door quickly slid open, revealing miles of white floor and black dome miles above us covering the entirety of the white floor.

“Walk inside please?” The woman asked kindly. I obliged with her. I felt some kind of connection between her and me. She kind of had a motherly effect on me. Is she my mother?

“We will be preforming some physical tests on you, not much for you but still a heads up. We’ll be watching you from a window over there.” She pointed at a thick and heavily armored window protected by a purple force field next to the door we just passed through.

“The test start . . . NOW!” The door closed behind me and slammed with a loud thud. What use to be a black dome, changed into a dynamic blue sky with clouds lazily floating in the air. The ground changed too, what use to be a white floor was now a hilly green field. It was breath taking, until sirens started to go off. What was a peaceful landscape, changed into a horrific scene. The sky was covered in smoke along with the field having burnt grass and patches of fire on it. Soon a large battleship descend through the dome with water-like ripple effects on the dome. Once it was fully through the dome, cannons emerged from its sides or what I thought were cannons. A single one fired me a purple beam at me with me quickly jumping to my side, landing gracefully. Soon multiple beams were shot at me, with me simply running away from them at near super sonic speeds. At first, it had surprised me that I was running at impossibly fast speeds but I got use to it. As I was running, a white circular mach cone formed infront of me, I hadn’t notice that my feet were off the ground and I was now in a flying position close to the ground with my arms bent and near me with my legs close to each other. I had maneuvered a complete 90 degrees to my left to dodge a laser that barely search me. A hill was coming up and because of my speed and flight, I was launched towards the battleship but as I was above the ship, miniguns started to pop up from it and started raining hell on me. Bullets were hitting me but it didn’t hurt, the bullets just bounced off me. I turned at a 90 degree angle down towards the ship. As I was going down, the mach cone had sharpen into a triangular cone. Not a second later, a loud boom erupted.

*BOOOOOOM*

I ripped through the ship with such terrifying speed, that when I went through the ship it exploded. I slowed down my descent and landed softly. The ship was a mess by the time I landed. The ship started to rapidly descend towards one of the walls of the dome. There was one problem, if this ship landed near or on the wall inside the dome, lives could be lost if there were others here. I don’t know why but it felt natural to hold out my clawed hands in front of me. I put all my concentration on the ship, I don’t know why but it felt nessecary. The ship started to glow white around it, the more I concentrated, the brighter it got and the slower the ship got. Soon it had stopped completely, and I cocked my hand back, thrusted it forwards and stopped concentrating on it. It was flung to its demise. Upon contact with the ground, the ship explodes in fiery embers. I turn back but the sound of movement catches my ears. I look back and see a swarm of robots land 50 yards in front of me. They have a nimble, almost skeletal physique with thin framework. Their legs have backward knee joints and three claw-like toes. The torso is covered in a simple armour plate with a floodlight attached on the left side. The head is small and saucer-shaped with a horizontal optic visor. The gunner has no hands, only weapons. Swarms fly in the air with both weapons aimed at me. They shoot at me with their left thinner arms. Bullets come onto contact with me but they bounce off harmlessly. I stand there, laughing at their pathetic attempts to harm. They stop shooting at me and switch to their right arm, which is much bulkier than their left ones. Mini rockets quickly fire at me and I dodge, but due to their explosive impacts near me, I was sent flying through some of the robots. I landed and bounce a few times from the height of the fall. I quickly get up and start to run from them. The robots give into the relentless chase. My speed had proven to much of a challenge and leave them in my dust. I neared the burning remains of the ship I had destroyed and jumped on it, waiting for the army of robots. They were coming in rapidly each second. I put my right hand towards them with an open hand and concentrate on the robots. This time i had not put as much concentration and the whole army was under my control.

“Is this a joke?” I asked myself in disappointment.

“Fucking disappointments!” I hissed

The guy wasn’t lying when he said I was THE ultimate weapon and being poured trillions of dollars into. I bring my hand back, closing it in the process and then shoot it forward, opening my palm and losing concentration. This in turn sent them flying back with electrical currents rippling through them before they fell into pieces. The smoke filled sky turned into a pure dark color as the burnt and charred grass flattened into a white floor. The door opened, revealing the man with a shocked face and the gleeful smile of the woman.

“Holy shit sticks! I know he is the ultimate weapon the human race have ever laid eyes on but telekinesis, being bullet proof, and breaking the sound barrier? What does he have else that we didn’t see here? How does his anatomy work? Can we make more?” The man asked.

“1: What you didn’t see here were his enhanced senses, super strength, can make illusions, can fly without wings, breath under water, and can control electricity to a certain degree.

2: His anatomy is classified even to military higher-ups like yourself to some extent, however I will explain the very few things about his anatomy that isn’t classified. Since he doesn’t eat, he uses something similar to photosynthesis. He can use a variety of energy to make himself food since he has no digestive system, like for good examples; Sun light, Radiation, Plasma energy, Heat energy and many other things. But energy can not be created or destroyed, so he has a way to ‘burn’ energy. He releases used up energy in the form of steam. He is also invulnerable to getting any sicknesses or diseases. Imagine having a really congested nose and you had to resort to your mouth but you don’t have a mouth. Prepare to die of suffocation by snot. As to breathing under water, water molecules contain oxygen atoms, his cells remove the oxygen and pores release the hydrogen. To prevent fire around him, since hydrogen is a flammable gas, his body covers the hydrogen atoms in a fluid similar to water that prevent fires or explosions. So in his original tube we had him in while creating him, we had a purifier to clean the liquid in his tube.

3: we can make clones and his offspring. Cloning and making his offspring are easy. Clones will come out just like he is right now but his offspring will have high chances of being stronger than he is currently. Besides he is male, we had that as a design choice. From calculating in the making of him, i came across that making him a male was the better way to go, in mammals. Males tend to be bigger, faster, and stronger but females were more dominant. Meaning males could probably take an order better than a female because it’s in their genes. And like a male he is, he has a penis and reproductive system. We could just collect sperm samples and created the offspring in a highly advanced uterus that helps it grow and mature.” That was pretty lengthy. I need to ask what did they use to make me then. The man just stared at her before walking towards the exit door.

“Today was a good day, the ultimate weapon was made today. You’re a bright and young woman. Keep up the work.” And with that, he opened the door and left. The woman stared at me and I stared back.

“Sooo . . . What’s your name?” I asked. She chuckled.

“How forgetful of me, despite you being a lab creation, you are still a sentient being and technically my son, my name is Shara Bullocks but just call me Shara.” Shara? That name has a nice ring with her. So what’s my name?

“What’s my name?” I asked, her eyesbrows rose.

“We have never given you a real name, the closest thing to a name you’ve had is your project name, Project Alba Lupus. Meaning ‘Project White Wolf’.
Shara seemed to be in deep thought while having her hand under her chin.

“With your powers, your most notable involve aerodynamics; flying and telekinesis. I think I’ll call you Reach.”

“Sounds good to me.” She looked at a watch on her wrist that I didn’t notice was on her then at me.

“It’s time to go to sleep. Go inside the tube there.” She pointed at a large tube layed on the floor that was already opened, revealing some type of padding for sleep. I obeyed and stepped inside the tube and laid in there, it was rather comfortable in my opinion.

“Good night, Reach.” Shara said while closing the tube.

“Good night, Sarah.” I said. So I was technically her son, huh? I didn’t dwell on thoughts any longer, so I let the darkness cloud my mind.
