Chapter 1: Origins
I was just an average student until that day in Oscorp. I have always attracted cats, but I did not know that it would lead to me becoming a great superhero. The day started like it normally did, I was shoved into a trash can, Flash Thomson stole my lunch and my lunch money, and I got an A in every class; the usual business. Then we went on a field trip to Oscorp were they have been making new advancements in genetically engineered domestic felines. Why they have to make a genetically-engineered-anything for every year they have been functioning. I mean really, first there were spiders, and then there were eels, hundreds of numerous creatures in between, and now cats. Weird, anyway, after the field trip I decided to walk to my house when I saw a small, black cat coming after me. I checked its' collar and realized that it belonged to Oscorp, that should have been my first clue, I went to grab it and it tried to claw my face off and it ran away. I got very drowsy and stumbled into an alleyway, then a gang ganged up on my and wanted my money. Then I started to transform, my nails became claws, my canines elongated, hair started to grow all over my body, etc. I became a cat-man. I could have ripped them apart with my bare hands, or should I say 'cat' hands, but I ran away. In total, I caused one eight car pileup, two four car pileups, and one huge crowd of scared people. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, maybe cat-like reflexes, but it all happened in the course of a few minutes. I was an unstoppable brute. I climbed a tall building and stopped at the top, and then I cooled down, and cried.
Then Spider-man came from below and landed in front of me. "Go ahead," I said in a deep voice, "turn me into the police, I don't belong anywhere else anyway."
"That's not true," he said in a regular voice, "there are plenty of jobs that need cat-people."
"Do you have any idea what it is like being alone?" I asked still crying, "I can't go home, I can't go back to school, I can't even show my face in public again."
Spider-man tried to console me by saying "Let me help."
"Leave me alone!" I yelled. With that I jumped off of the roof, landed on my feet.
Night came soon afterward, joining Spider-man in the chase were his four teammates; Nova, Power Man, Iron Fist, and White Tiger. They attacked me one by one, they were easily knocked down.
"You're home again, glad you kept the key…" a nearby radio played Fallen Angel. I found my way to the radio and started to sway with the music. The world grew around me, I realized that I was shrinking down to human size, but I was still covered in black fur.
"We've got him now!" Nova said as he aimed his fist.
"No," Spider-man said "this is Hulk Logic 101: if he is calm, he may not attack you. Keep your distance, though."
Everyone took two steps back, except for White Tiger, whom I sensed a connection with, maybe it was because she had cat powers too.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"A freak." My voice was normal.
"You're not a freak." She said.
"How many furry people have you met personally?" I asked.
"Wolverine, Werewolf by Night, Man-wolf, Kraven…" Spider-man listed.
"Point taken," I interrupted "now I'll leave." I jumped to the top of the nearest building.
"I've got him." Tiger said. She jumped up after me and chased me through the city. I had stopped at the same roof that I was on earlier.
"Why did you run." She asked.
"To distance myself from people who want to hurt me." I said.
"We wouldn't…" Tiger started.
"Not you," I emphasized the 'you', "them." I pointed to the street. "The people who think that 'people' are people who look like them," I gestured to my face "this… is not normal."
I sat down and sang to myself, "Ooh, ooh. Ah, Rag doll ooh, ooh. Rag doll, ooh. (Hand me down) When she was just a kid her clothes were hand-me-downs, (Hand me down) they always laughed at her when she came into town. Called her 'Rag Doll' 'Little Rag Doll.' Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace. Ooh, ooh. Ah, Rag doll ooh, ooh. Rag doll, ooh. (Shag rag doll) I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could, (If I could) my folks won't let me cause they say that she's no good. She's a rag doll, Such a rag doll. Though I love her so I can't let her know. Ooh, ooh. Ah, Rag doll. I love you just the way you are. Oh, Rag Doll, ooh. Oh, Rag Doll, ooh."
I lifted my head, and White Tiger was gone.
The next morning, I woke up on the roof. All I wanted to do was try to wake up and find out that I am normal again. I went to an alley where I found some old clothes, and put them on.
I went back to the rooftop where I found White Tiger waiting for me, "Why are you here?" I asked.
"I'll ask the questions," she pointed a thumb at herself "I have better things to do on my Saturday off."
I sat down, "Let's begin."
"Where did you come from?" she asked. I told her about how I got covered in black fur.
"This sounds too familiar." She said to herself. She looked at me "Do you have any unique abilities."
"I've noticed that I have cat powers and super-senses." I heard her heart skip a beat "I can even hear your heart beating."
"You can?" she asked.
"If I concentrate." I said.
"Anything that you want to ask me?" she asked.
"Are you covered in fur?" I asked.
"No." she answered quickly.
"OH COME ON!" I yelled "There has to be somebody who knows what I'm going through."
I heard the thumping of a helicopter coming closer and closer. "You should go." I told White Tiger.
"I'm not finished yet." She said.
The helicopter came into view, the words 'NEW YORK CIRCUS' painted on the side. I pushed her down as an electric net fired at me and knocked me out.
I woke up in a circus cage with an electric collar around my neck. A man with blond hair beat my cage with an electric pole.
"Get up, you cat-astrophe," oh, that was a low blow "it's time for practice for tomorrow's show."
P.S.-I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADD NEW CHAPTERS, I'D LIKE SOME HELP WITH THAT.
