1.1 DISCLAIMER: I don't own Darkman… Somebody else does…



2 Chapter 3



Peyton was watching T.V and was disgusted at the news. It's about a certain millionaire who was being investigated of murder and corruption. It is said that the millionaire had an accident and was not seen in public since. What a miserable guy, Peyton though to himself why doesn't he just use his money to fix himself up, if he were in his position, he would do just exactly that, if only he had the means then he won't be suffering here in a tunnel with rats and pest to be his company. Well for the moment he has a beautiful unconscious guest. Peyton frowned. Disgusted with himself for allowing such thoughts to enter his mind, he continued with his experiments without waking his female guest.

"Mikey, Mikey would you please calm down." Multi millionaire Daniel Scott told his brother who is currently in a hostile mood, since the news on T.V. about his accident and the murder charge he went ballistic, from cursing to throwing things around the place.

"How could I calm down, I have a murder case against me not to mention that blasted news about my accident! How the hell did that come out? If I found out who leaked the information whoever he is will wish he wasn't even born!" Michael said while shooting the ceiling to mark his point.

"If the media is watching the estate right now, and saw you rampaging like a caged animal instead of a educated person that you are, you're already ruined reputation is going to be ruined some more."

"How could you stay calm, after what happened?"

"If I turn into a maniac like you, who would take care of the problems we are currently facing right now, huh, little brother."

"It's you're fault why we are having problems right now."

"If you are talking about Kathleen's escape, that wasn't entirely my fault, you have your men shooting down at her, if I didn't interfere they would have killed her, and by the looks of things I think she is already dead."

"…"

"Don't forget, you're entire healing is on her hands, since doctor Peyton Westlake died, she's the next best thing to solving you're problem." "I can see that you are tired… why don't you rest and I'll handle this thing." Daniel said taking in the exhausted look of his brother.

"Okay, I'll go to my room, sorry about this brother, I just don't like my accident being talked about."

"It's okay, I'll find out who leaked the info. Stop worrying about it go to rest."

Daniel watched as his younger brother leave, since the accident the whole house was covered with darkness. And as Michael go to his room a stray of light caught his features. Daniel felt sorry for him every time he remember that faithful day that chanced the life of his only living family left. Daniel closed his eyes and allowed the bitter memory creep inside his mind.

Exactly over a year ago, he and Michael was visiting the laboratory that produced the chemicals they used to built microchips and weapons with their clients. The container that Mike was looking at was hit with a stray bullet from his own gun when he killed one of their clients who are double crossing them.

The container exploded unable to hold the chemicals. Michael had no time to run and the chemical swallowed him whole. He could still remember his brother's fevered screams of help while the chemical burned his skin away and exposing the muscles hid underneath. Michael's left arm was completely burned away and was now replaced with a mechanical one. Now a hideous monster replaced Michael's blond playboy look.

Until now, Daniel still feels guilty for what happened, but Michael never blamed him for everything, he promised himself that he's going to do everything he can to bring normalcy back to Michael's life.

No matter what it take's.
