Chapter 3- Trigger to the chain of events.

As Kane walked down the street away from the arena, he tried to think of what these new powers were for. As he recalled Rob Van Dam's logic, everything happens for a reason. Just… why to him? Kane didn't mention to the others that despite the new limbs another power has been made present, super strength. He discovered that at the gym a few days ago, he was lifting with Khali not realizing he was matching the big man. Khali was quick to point out Kane's new strength and tested it farther. "Lift me!" he said.

Not certain to the idea, Kane tried he took hold of Khali and lifted him no problem or hesitation! Gently, he put the giant back onto his feet. "You have gotten stronger Kane, impressive."

"Impressive or scary, I don't know yet. Not to mention I'm losing weight rapidly… I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse yet…"

"Take everything as a blessing, for only you make it a curse" Khali said before walking out. The words struck Kane, he was right.

Kane's train of thought soon broke when he decided to stop for something to eat, he was rather surprised to see people just leave him be despite his 'celebrity statues' but the wrestling fans here were good. Kane ordered his sandwich and ate in silence… that was until he heard the sound of sirens. Normally, he didn't bother with them, the men and women of law enforcement would take care of the task at hand… and yet, and he felt this time around he had to follow them.

Rushing from the restaurant, he saw smoke and fire not too far from the restaurant; quickly he rushed to the scene and saw a house going up in flames. Firefighters couldn't get in, the blaze was too hot. However… Kane stormed the line and rushed into the burning building, fire was his element, and found he could not be harmed by it, also the smoke didn't bother him either, he could walk in as if there were nothing stopping him. He heard screams coming up the stairs, children! They were trapped!

He called out the large bones in his arms and scaled the walls since the stairs had been eaten away by the flame, the moment he got to the top step he called out. "Where are you!"

Coughs were heard not far from him, inside a room, he kicked the door down and saw three children and their pet dog huddled in the corner, the smoke grew too thick for them to breath, and they were going to die if he didn't do something. Kane grew out the extra limbs from before, he tore out the window, grabbed the children and their dog before looking outside. He leaped out just as the floor gave way, landing a good distance from the house on his feet. He quickly retracted the bone and extra arms before anyone noticed. People swarmed Kane as they could not believe their eyes, what startled them more was the fact not a single burn was on him! He was completely unharmed! "My God, it's impossible!" One woman said.

Pushing his way past the crowd, Kane gave the kids to the firefighters for treatment. "Sir, I think you need to stay as well. That was a hell of a lot of smoke you breathed in."

"I'm fine, really" Kane announced, it was then the media appeared. Quickly, he took his leave before anyone caught his face on camera. Kane was in a sprint as he rushed back, the risk of getting caught could endanger his friends and himself…

However the moment he got into the locker room did Vince call him to his office, late breaking news as he turned up the volume. "A mysterious man had saved the lives of three small children and their pet this hour, although he fled the scene before anyone could get his name. Eye witnesses had claimed it was WWE superstar Kane, who risked life and limb for these children. We will have more at six as this story develops…" Vince turned the TV off and stared at the big red monster.

"Well?" he asked.

"Well? Well what?" Kane questioned. "I don't think they know what they are talking about… I mean… do I look like I was in a blazing house?" Kane asked.

"Pants on fire" Vince said without looking up.

"What makes you think I'm lying?" Kane demanded.

"No, but your pants are on fire" Vince announced. Looking down, Kane didn't notice that one of his pant legs was indeed aflame. Without even worrying or blinking, Vince reached for the fire extinguisher and put him out. "Kane, I am not upset you did it. But just answer me this… did anyone see you use your powers?" he asked.

"Those outside did, I leaped out of the house and landed on my feet… I… I didn't know I could do that. I grew out extra arms to carry all the kids out. But Vince, something wasn't right about that situation. I was in town before the fire broke out… There was no flame, yet the moment it happened… the whole house nearly burned to the ground…"

"What are you getting at Kane?" Vince asked.

"I think it was a set up, those kids were purposely put in danger so I would use my powers to save them!"

The idea startled McMahon; however he knew stranger things were happening. "Who would try and set you up?"

"Anyone who knows of what happened to me… I don't know what Orton or Taker did back at the warehouse… Who's to say they aren't seeking revenge?"

McMahon didn't like the idea, yet he knew this was something to keep an eye out for. He nodded in agreement with Kane when Kane suddenly coughed up soot, he promptly spat in the waste basket next to Vince's desk. "Sorry, smoke is getting kicked out of my lungs."

"No problem, shall we keep this between you and me?" Vince asked.

"Yeah, just don't think of it in front of Taker… He's reading minds now." Kane warned.

Once Kane left Vince's office, a creeped out feeling overcame him, something was defiantly afoot and he had no doubt that it was coming closer to the guys and him. "We better watch our backs" he muttered to himself before walking off.
