I Own Nudda (surprise surprise)

Prologue

Carlos 'Cougar' Alveraz would look back at this moment with regret. He should have known better. He should have thought ahead and realised that the pain wasn't worth the gain. Sure the program offered enough money that he would be able to buy his mama a new home, a place where she wouldn't have to sleep on a bamboo bed in the corner of the living room. Admittedly the program did have some perks physically wise. Enhanced speed, enhanced stealth, enhanced senses of sight and hearing. Not to mention the new found grace that his once awkward body now flowed with.

But still…the program had many cons to outweigh the pros. The death of his brother being the main one. As it turned out the human body wasn't built to withstand that much pain all at once. Apparently Carlos had a strange gene that allowed him to handle extreme pains, this gene was the reason he had been chosen for the program. The program controllers had thought that his brother had possessed the same gene…they were wrong. Carlos' younger brother didn't make it through the first transformation. Carlos had found out when he had woken up three days later.

The death of his brother had not been the first, however it had been the last. After his passing the program had been officially closed down the subjects were told to pack up and go. Carlos was one of the lucky ones, thanks to his prior military training he was allowed to go back into the military where he was hired out from team to team, anyone who needed a sniper.

But then again in this moment Carlos didn't know that all this was going to happen. All he knew was that between his brother and himself the two would be able to provide for their family and they would be given the chance to be something special. So without a moment's hesitation Carlos signed his name along the dotted line.

~l~L~l~L~

Jake Jensen didn't know the meaning of the word hesitation. It wasn't something that a Jensen did nor was it something that a Jensen ever thought about doing.

So for the life of him Jake Jensen didn't understand why his hand wavered and hovered over the paper. All he had to do was sign the dotted line…so why hadn't he?

After all he didn't know that in the months that followed he would be put through absolute hell, both physically and emotionally. He didn't know that the first test would damn near kill him. He didn't know that he would have to watch the men around him die off one by one because they weren't strong enough to handle the transformations and the pain associated.

But then again he also didn't know that in the months that followed he was going to meet the best friend that he could have ever asked for. A man he learn to fear and respect for his strength and a man he would have to comfort when he lost someone very close to him.

A man he would learn to love.

So shrugging off the strange sensation of what must have been hesitation and scribbled his excuse of a signature along the dotted line.

A/N Ok so this story was inspired by the always outstanding Cougar's Catnip! It may not seem very happy at the moment but hopefully I'll be able to fix that. I warn you I just started year 12 so don't be surprised if the updates are...well random and with long (loooooonnnnng) pauses in between
