El Tigre: Chosen

Prologue

One Year after the LuxeCorp. Incident…

A woman walks in a dark room. A snowy computer screen covers one wall. The woman stands silhouetted against the static.

"Access code: Alpha-Sigma-One-Two-Seven-Four, Slash B."

The computer screen flickered to life.

"WELCOME, GEN. CONTRERAS."

The woman smiled. "Bring up the Miracle City object-wielder files."

Instantly, several pictures popped up on the screen.

"Go to File Zero-Zero-One."

"FILE ZERO-ZERO-ONE: MANUEL RIVERA

ALIAS: EL TIGRE

AGE: 14

OBJECT: TIGRE BELT

POWERS: RAZOR-SHARP CLAWS, CATLIKE SENSES AND AGILITY…"

The woman scanned through the rest of the file to the end.

"ALIGNMENT: UNKNOWN."

The woman nodded. "Continue."

"FILE ZERO-ZERO-TWO: RODOLFO RIVERA (DECEASED)."

The woman shook her head. "Skip to the next one." She quickly read the files on Grandpapi and Maria Rivera. "Next."

"FILE ZERO-ZERO-FIVE: KATRINA REYES

ALIAS: PULSERA

AGE: 21

OBJECT: RUBY BRACELET

POWERS: BRACELET MANIFESTS ITSELF IN DIFFERENT FORMS; WEAPONS, ARMOR, ETC.

"Next file."

"FILE ZERO-ZERO-SIX: MERWIN HERMES KNOX

OBJECT: CADUCEUS

POWERS: TELEPORTATION

NOTES: ORIGINALLY FROM SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, MOVED TO MIRACLE CITY SHORTLY OVER A YEAR AGO. CURRENTLY RESIDES IN AN APARTMENT WITH KATRINA REYES.

ALIGNMENT: VILLAIN."

The woman opened her mouth to summon the next file, but the sound of the door clicking behind her stopped her in her tracks.

Lt. Reyes opened the door to the computer room. When he stepped inside, he looked up. He was alone in the room, but there were open files all over the computer screen. His eyes widened. He immediately rushed over to an intercom and pressed the button.

"We have a security breach in Sector A, I repeat, a security breach in Sector A."

A/N: And so begins El Tigre: Chosen, the long-awaited (pshhh...) sequel to Evolution! I hope to hear from my previous readers, and I in turn, wil try to be a little more social, and actually reply to reviews! Wouldn't that be just fabulous! C'mon, you know it would! Peace!
