Me:My first story, and yes this chapter is very short. That was my intention.
Cro: Cut him a break, plz. Constructive criticism appreciated. Even so I expect a flame or two.
Me:...You're not helping...
Cro: Your point?
Me: Time to crash and burn, let's get this show on the road!
Disclaimer: I don't own Prototype or its characters. Except the few I decide to toss in there.

Chapter One
Breakout
Alex… why does that name haunt me so… maybe because it's all I know… Who was I before all this…before the virus broke out…
Gunshots brought me out of my stupor. I walked out of my small, smelly hiding place to see what all the noise was about.
"There he is!"
"Get him"
These idiot soldiers annoy me to no end. Blackwatch…after so long I still ask myself…who are these bastards?
Itching in anticipation, I allowed the "animal" in me to take hold, my arms forming into giant four-fingered claws. Even now, I still feel amazed at the sight of these claws, but enough about that…time to get to work.
"My God…" said one of the Blackwatch soldiers. I grinned at them and said:
"What? Scared already?"
Soon after I said that, the ground in front of me was peppered with bullets.
"Come quietly and we won't have to hurt you." The boss-man, by the looks of him.
"You? Hurt me?" I scoffed at the idea. "You're the ones who should back down."
Without waiting for a reply, I sprinted towards the nearest man, slashing an arm in a wide arc, cleaving the soldier in two. The pieces of his body flew left and right, crashing into hard brick walls. The soldier's legs were locked in fear.
"Well commander…what do ya' say?" My voice was as carefree as could be, but these guys obviously knew I meant business.
"Men! Fire at will!" The man said. "We'll take him back, dead if not alive"
…Back… Back where!?
"Well then… take a good long look at what's around you all…" My voice lowered to a more menacing tone, covering the unsure thoughts going through my head. "Because you'll never see any of this again!"
