A/n: I know it's been a while since I last wrote something up and I just felt like I had to try to make that up in the spare time I have despite it being heavily eaten away due to my new schedule. So with that in mind I hope you find this enjoyable. Oh and before I forget this chapter would not have been possible without help from Qinlongfei.

P.S. this is a revision for the first chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Prototype, Prototype 2, or Worm and those belong to their respective creators. I am only playing around in their sandbox.

Heller's Oath

Ch.1

Heller was furious that much anyone could tell by looking at the man in question. In all fairness he would be justified in feeling murderous rage and being completely devoured by his quest for justice.

However Heller knew as appealing as tracking down the nine and painting the city using their respective entrails and spinal columns would feel, that being extremely satisfying, he simply didn't know enough about the nine, or have the skills needed.

On top of that many better and stronger heroes and villains alike had fallen to the monsters.

All he would accomplish in his current state would be to effectively waste his life or worse end back up on Bonesaw's table that was an experience that was traumatizing the first time and certainly needed no repetition.

Plus losing the chance for revenge altogether.

Hell he had no fucking clue what 'Alex' actually did to him, and he sure as hell wasn't going to fuck around because that would only lead to more death and catastrophic levels of collateral damage.

Which might not even ensure a victory against any one of their members.

They were able to stay alive for as long as they were and that probably wasn't any sort of fluke on their part. They all had more experience and certainly could take on one confused, angry, and irrational man.

To make matters more difficult their leader Jack Slash was skilled in both combat and head games.

Heller found it painful to admit to himself, but he needed help and only one person could truly help him at the moment Alex.

He didn't understand what it was but he always found him unsettling. Something just always seemed off about him.

He knew that he had to understand both what happened to him and learn if he was going to be anything more than a minor annoyance. The biggest obstacle would more than likely be Bonesaw all mental trauma aside, she was a strong tinker.

Tinkers were always known for their ability to bullshit most of the basic laws that govern the universe.

She specialized in a particularly messy and downright horrifying field, this made her a threat probably the biggest out the bunch, only after time, effort and energy has been spent would he be able to come close to destroying any of their ilk.

"I promise Maya that I will make them pay, and I will never let this happen to anyone ever again." Heller whispered the declaration, maybe just maybe if I can stop them no if I could stop even one more family from being massacred I might be able to . . . no, no even then it sure as hell wouldn't be enough.

Heller was deep in thought remembering, he would never forget. He swore to never let such a tragedy happen to anyone else it was then and there that he would dedicate his every waking moment to stop those psychos and protect those too weak to defend themselves.

To be continued. . .

A/n: So what are your thought was this infinitely better than the previous version, I had a lot of time and felt wrong about rushing the first chapter. I hope that you were still able to find some enjoyment from this the next chapter will be about Heller learning to use his powers. At least that's the plan, any way if any one has any suggestions on either powers, possible plot points/ideas, or simply want to tell me what I've done right or wrong send a PM.

Please keep in mind all attempts at flaming will be ignored and deleted, because while I like criticism straight up hate helps no one.
