A/N: Alright, so I've decided to rewrite this story. It doesn't mean I'll finish it right away and won't have this go back on hiatus. But I've been reading it over, and decided to redo it.
This story contains a lot of swearing and mentions of drugs, sexual themes and violence.
~Prologue~
After getting the bomb away from Manhattan, something went wrong. Of course, nothing can be perfect, especially with something so dangerous, such as that. What was it that happened? After my biomass had been thrown all over the place and a crow decided to pick at one part, another crow was at another. This resulted in two Alex Mercer's being created. Granted, both versions were the same personality, memories, and attributes, but both were treated differently. One was treated as a normal human being, started a new life and tried to forget the past disappointments. The other one was betrayed and used, resulting in him losing all faith in humanity. Dana had seen both versions, but never at the same time. And sometimes I wonder if that was for the best.
Because of how the two versions of Alex were treated so differently, each one had a certain view for the city. Too bad it wasn't the same. And because of this, Manhattan is about to face a greater destruction than the second outbreak. But not if I can stop it.
Who am I, though? I'm the one who wants to reverse this all. Unfortunately, I can't do this all alone. After having Dana taken by that hunter the last time, I don't want to get her involved. It's bad enough she's already had contact with the other version. I've found someone else, though. Someone who knows their way around technology to help me track down the other version of Alex. Whether or not she'll be any help, I don't know. But what I do know, is that she'll help me with whatever I need, whether she likes it or not.
This won't be easy. I wasn't recreated with my powers, so I'm back to square one. The only things I did keep were my speed and strength, along with me being able to consume. I'll need to find a way to get my powers back before I go against the other version. Maybe even some upgrades. I'm not too concerned about the result of Manhattan, but I'm worried about Dana either getting infected or hurt. Even my new pet, Pacific. I'm not sure what the virus would do to him. I am sure of one thing, though. I won't let anything happen to those two, no matter what it takes. This corrupted version isn't going to win. I won't let him.
