1814 American South

Mark Collins is in a Tuberculosis Sanatorium. His parents sent him there so they wouldn't have to deal with his death. A nurse walks into Mark's room. "Hey sweetheart, I can help you survive," she tells Mark, who's knocking on death's door. Mark thinks it over, then nods. He then coughs up blood. The nurse bites her wrist and brings it to Mark's mouth. "You must drink it," the nurse says. Mark drinks her blood and he lays back down. He doesn't make it through the night.

1814-2010

Mark Collins is now a vampire just like that nurse that turned him. He woke up in his bed, but he had an unbelievable hunger for blood. He killed any nurse or doctor he came across. He then drifted around the country. He learned multiple martial arts, parkour, and how to use a sword along with all the powers that come with being a vampire. He has now settled down in Happy Harbor stopping crime and hunting.

Mark's POV

I'm sitting on top of a building listening for any signs of trouble. I have my vampire face showing, blood red eyes with black veins under them and fangs. I got short ginger hair, and despite being short and skinny, I can beat a grown man to a pulp. I look up when I hear shouting. 'A robbery,' I think to myself. I stand up, make sure I have my sword, and vamp sped to the robbery.

I ran a few blocks and I figured out that the bank was being robbed. I land in an alleyway and draw my sword. "I know you're in there, come out peacefully and you won't be harmed," I commanded the robbers. I tell all the citizens to get out of here, and they do. The robbers soon exit the bank, and aim their weapons at me, then open fire. The bullets hit me and hurt but they can't harm me. I just let them shoot until they run out. Once I hear the clicks, I spring into action, all bloody, I speed towards one guy, throw him into a wall, cracking the wall. Then I head toward the second guy using my vampire strength to kick him in the jaw, most likely dislocating it. I charge the final guy grabbing him and speeding to an alleyway. I bite him, and drain him. I throw him on the ground and get back to my patrol.

Artemis' POV

The team and I decided to go for a walk in Happy Harbor. We were talking and laughing when we heard gunfire and shouting. "Someone's in trouble!" Meagan shouts. "Let's check it out," Aqualad says. We all nod and I grab my crossbow. We head to the bank where we see a teen getting shot at by three robbers. "We have to hel-, " I couldn't finish my sentence, because as soon as the robbers were done firing the guy darted to a guy and threw him. We were all dropped jawed by the amount of strength the small teen had. He kicked the second guy in the jaw with a move I've only seen Robin use. Then he took the last guy and darted to an alleyway. We went to check on him but when we got there, the teen was nowhere to be found, and the final guy was dead. Robin checked him over while we checked the surrounding areas.

"Did you find him?" Aqualad asked me. "No, any of you?" I replied and asked. They shake their heads. We all went back to Robin. "Hey Rob, did you find out anything?" Wally asked. "Yes, I think so." Robin replied. "He got a bite on his neck. There are no bruises so I think he died from blood loss." Robin explained. He took some pictures of the dead body 'just in case' as he calls it, and we went back to the cave. But I feel like we're being watched.

After we got back to the cave, we told Batman about the bank robbery. He thought about and told us to investigate the unknown teen. We nodded and we all went home wondering about that teen.

Mark's POV

I saw a group of kids poking around the bank after I dealt with the last guy. I did research and found out that they were Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash, Artemis, Aqualad, and Miss Martian. 'I should be careful, and thankfully I stocked up on blood bags' I say to myself and went to sleep.

Next day Mark's POV

I woke up, did my morning routine, gathered my gear and went to one of my many stake out posts. I got to my post and watched over Happy Harbor. After a while I heard someone drop onto the roof. "Stand up, put your hands in the air, and turn around slowly," the unknown male voice commanded me. I did as he asked, I then saw it was Superboy and his team. "What do you want," I ask. I see most of them shake from my glare. "We want answers. Are you going to tell us willingly or do we have to beat it out of you?" Superboy asks and threatens while grabbing my neck. I simply grab his hand and twist his hand, even though he's fighting I have the superior strength. After I have a firm grip I catapult Superboy across Happy Harbor, most likely into the next town. I turn to the rest of the team, who are all slack jawed, and say, "Never grab me again," my eyes blood red and adding to the glare. They nod. I calm down and ask, with my eyes still being red, "What do you want to know?" "What about a name," Robin asked. "The name is Mark," I responded. Robin nods and notes it. "What are you," Kid Flash asked me. Miss Martian elbows him. "I'm human," I replied smoothly. They look at me like I'm crazy "What," I ask them. Miss Martian responds, "No human could overpower and toss Superboy like it's nothing." I keep a straight face. "Anything else?" I ask them. "Who's side you on," Aqualad asked. "The side of good," I reply. I then pull out a card and hand it to Aqualad. "Here, this has my number on it. If you all want to team up or something, call the number, but don't try to track it. It will fry your systems," I tell him and vamp sped off.

AN: Hey guys and gals, I know I haven't updated my last story in awhile, I kinda lost my muse for it. I'm writing this one hoping I'll get my muse back.
