The Storm

 Wolf Pack
 Wolf Pack

During the time that Apocalypse took siege and started his master plan the whole world was tossed into chaos. He rooted himself in Egypt taking housing himself inside the Great pyramid to start his master plan. Yet none of the heroes could touch him, already knowing most of the teams he sent out droids to preoccupied the hero community. It was at this time that William Greystoke banded together a group of mercenaries, neutral assassins and he formed Wolf Pack. The group was a black opps team designed for under radar missions and this was the perfect test. Yet among the many skilled members he had also taken on a rookie, a young girl with no information on her who he discovered one night in the wilderness. Laura Howlett was placed with Thomas Lee Jamison and her first mission was to infiltrate the Pyramid and gather information. The two set out under the cover of night fall and when reaching the Pyramid they split up.

 Talon which was the name she chose for herself discovered another entry way leading through a tunnel where Project Doomsday wastaking form. Not having lots of time she gathered what info she could and met up with her partner before returning to base. When William Greystoke decided the time was right he and the team invaded the Pyramid leaving little Laura at the base. Aggravated she went after them but not before they were able to set the Pyramid of self destruct. As time was now ticking one of the female members Damnation Lee managed to teleport all of the members to safety all except Laura.

  Yet when she found herself fin the fray with Doomsday in a flash her body was teleported away, after an encounter with an odd being called Issac she found herself back in the Pyramid determined to minimize the explosion, for not to far away was a village that she was indebted to. With the help of a mysterious blade she was able to achieve her goal and mysteriously get teleported back to Wolf Pack base in peculiar attire. At this time she noticed one of her team mates stowing away, Damnation Lee. 

After confronting her they both teamed up to take on Apocalypse personally against their team leaders rules. With a lot of hard work and great effort and secrecy the dual found his other hiding place and confronted him teaming up. It was a hard and treacherous battle but while the one distracted the beast the other set the whole place to blow once more: This time there was no need to minimize anything. With that the base exploded and Apocalypse managed to escape yet, the bonds of friendship had been formed and Laura had made her first new comrade in this strange world. Now the trouble began, explaining to Hunter why they disobeyed him. 


Crimes of the Past

After these troublesome events Laura went into seclusion attempting to find a way to return to the world from where she came from. Hunter was displeased about her rebelliousness to go after Apocalypse but he hadn’t thrown her off the team. It was then in her isolation she was captured by SHEILD. They ran tests on her locking her up inside a dark cell as they slowly began to break her untimely attempting to bring something locked deep within her out. After several days of being held captured X-23 emerged previous HYDRA agent and exactly what shield wanted. After doing what they wished they brainwashed her and placed her as one of their agents fabricating memories and giving her a partner. But time told her something was wrong and slowly the memories of her past life resurfaced. It was now tossed between the struggle fighting against X-23 and her true self she woke up. With the help of a Wolf Pack team member Hidden she was able to escape fleeing to the only place she truly found solace: Xavier Institute

  While training out of anger of so easily being subdued she came face to face with the super powered being Simon Williams as he commanded her to come with him. The two flew high over the city as he was about to explain his intentions when suddenly a Sentinel came out of nowhere. In the battle between the metal monster Talon was dropped and lost sight of her new comrade. Yet from what he told her she was to head to Washington DC. After a long nights walk she managed to enter the city but her welcome party soon found her as a group of Sentinels locked onto her. With little to no time she hopped onto a Motorcycle and sped away, she knew that she would be unable to take on these creatures alone. Her trail led her to a museum she her motorcycle broke through the large entrance stain glass window. It was then that she found herself in the company of more heroes Slight to be more precise and the two along with others battled against the metal beasts and were victorious. 

  After Simon Williams appeared to her rescue she decided to go with Slight and his team to the resistance down in Virginia, which was where Wolf Pack was. Eventually though Talon went on her own to the battle field finding her brother, adopted brother XL. She managed to speak to him but without a word he bravely sacrificed his life for her. After dyeing in her arm she was enraged and went ballistic. Though on her crazy attempt to subdue the sentinel brought once again Simon Williams who rescued her and consoled her. Eventually she got off her pity party and contacted Saber, a friend. The two met and spoke about what had happened and discovered that SHEILD instead of creating Sentinels were now using nanites  causing them to shape shift into other heroes and also her brother. Having no choice Talon got herself to where all the commotion was, and with the help of Damnation Lee these to female comrades stood well in arms ready for the upcoming battle that laid ahead.

Crack in the Mirror  

A battle between the heroes and Sentinels soon emerged and though it appeared as if the heroes came out victorious nothing could be further from the truth. The Government had acquired every individual in the battle’s DNA and with that they fell back into the shadows with what they currently possessed and started in truth their real plan all along. Wolf Pack were the first secretly alerted by Agent Anderson of Sector 13 of this new scheme and their info took them to Alaska home of the Eskimos. Silently the elite neutral team mate their mark but Talon was scurrying in the shadows, she hated the thought of being cloned. In her mind she was a clone but now having a clone of herself was something slightly disturbing. She hadn’t spoken to anyone about this, hardly any of the team knew about her little incident back at SHIELD base, and she intended to keep it that way or else who knew they’d think she was one of the clones. Eventually with the cunning knowledge of The Hunter the team broke in guns blazing but soon to discover their worst nightmares had come true.  

 Clones of each one of them had been created their DNA was now the governments and theirs to use. Wolf Pack did all they could to destroy the place but at the same time the dormant clones awoke with their orders. Soon a blood bath took place as they fought mirrors of themselves. Talon on the other hand had a slightly more different encounter. Without hardly being there a few minutes her body was hit by a enormous blast of energy knocking her instantly out. The next moments of her life were vague as she awoke in a totally different location with her the man claiming to be her guardian present telling her she should stay. Laura shocked by all of this suited up and left the safe house after receiving a message from her leader to meat in their secret base located in Japan. Hijacking a plan was simple but the young Lycan soon discovered she had a stowaway. Her clone or duplicate had taken passage on the flight and didn’t have intentions for them to both land alive. Now a battle emerged on the vassal as Laura found herself confronted with the fact: What if she was the actual clone all along.  

 Her duplicate didn’t hesitate to plague her mind with thoughts like these, telling her she was a sleeper agent and none of this was real. Eventually gaining the upper hand her duplicate swung her out of the plain. Laura’s body crashed into the water as she managed to swim to the beach of the Japan. Exhausted and her mind filled with doubts she lingered there until she realized she had to return to base. On her way back she managed to encounter her team mate Akwa who for some reason was also out this night. But then the two’s thoughts soon zoned into a being glowing crimson that appeared before them. He called himself King Hyperion a man of immense power though desite both team mates being present his intentions were focused upon Laura offering her another path, a path of rage as he called upon her to take up the mantel of a Red Lantern. She stunned by this couldn’t help but find his offer tempting and when it appeared that all was lost she finally managed to hear the calling of her team mates, and ultimately Simon Williams who once again came to her aid banishing this man of darkness. 

  Laura now back to herself she ran back to base to find an immobilized Damnation and suddenly she was filled with regret wishing she had been there. But her presence at the base was short lived as Laura dashed out once more having a brief interaction with Akwa. But as she left the base she was confronted with Issac who told her she was not real, astonished by this he them disappeared until finally she realized something. In the wilderness she called the name X-23 and the reassuring monster’s voice echoed in her mind. Sure her body and memories could be copied but not X-23 that was not possible. With the world moving in fast motion she raced back knowing something was up but once again she ran into her team mate Akwa, who said he would aid her. Though just then something occurred, a large explosion shattered the two and it was revealed that Akwa all along had been a clone. Now holding the real Issac hostage for it was revealed that he was a fake Talon had no choice but to hand over Gemini. Talon did so willingly but jus then Issac did the most unexpected thing: he traded his immortality.   As he did the earth shook and all of a sudden the adversaries retreated else where leaving the shocked young girl and her human guardian to their own abilities. But the truth remained: Their DNA was taken, and Wolf Pack was in danger.

The Coming Storm  

The events of the cloning soon ended as heroes assured the public all was taken care of. Of course Talon didn’t believe a word of it she knew there was more going on but until another major event she’d have to remain in the shadows and wait like always. Yet Laura was still shaken by the death of her brother and her sadness turned to rage, “Why did he have to save me” was her question. That always seemed to be her question now a days. After a heated spar with her friend Saber she left the institute and sped off into the city. Though her serene little motor ride   swiftly came to a halt as the silence was shattered by the noise of what sounded like a large explosion. Talon near it ran out into the open and was shocked by what she saw. The Whole Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco had been decimated by what was reported as a yellow beam of light. Talon now began questioning her loyalties.  

 She stood there for over an hour no heroes arrived and though shrieks and cries were sent up in the heavens no hero came to any of the human’s aid. It disgusted her she couldn’t stand it. After two hours she left taking one more look before she hopped on her motor bike and drove off into the forest. Sitting there her mind drifted to the incident with King Hyperion, that mad man offering her a life fueled by hatred and anger. If not for Simon Williams and Akwa she would have chosen that path, it would have been better for if she could have re-lived that moment she would have chosen the path of evil. With all this running through her mind she began wondering what she really wanted and who she really was. “I am Geminie daughter of the Phoenix. I am Geminie wielder of the sword. I am Talon of the Wolf Pack. I am X23 of the X Men. I am Weapon X23 of HYDRA; I am Agent X of SHIELD. I am Laura Kinney of the Government of the United States of America I am Talon…of the Red Lanterns?”Who was she really?   As this continued she relived the moment where King Hyperion had given her a choice, he said if she did not become a Red Lantern there would be blood but the young girl knew that either way there already was too much being spilled. 

  Issac then confronted her trying to talk some sense into the death wishing girl but she wouldn’t listen. On her knees she cried out in rage claiming that everything in her life was a lie. And in that moment something came to her, something blood red, it was a ring. She would have ran but she listened as it called her X-23 and once again offered her the thing she had turned down months ago. Then X-23 siezing the opportunity controlled Laura and placed the ring on her finger, therefore gaining ultimate control over the girl and becoming a Red Lantern. After that she went on a hellish killing Spree of the Canadian wilderness and Talon could not help but watch powerless over her. Talon though didn’t give up the mental struggle continued as X-23 tried to seduce Talon to the dark side but the light that remained in her heart would not be extinguished. With a brief moment X-23 in control of Talon sped into space before returning to the institute and wreaking havoc. It was then that she noticed a fallen hero, Andferne burning blue Lantern.  

 He was badly beaten and as the rage filled girl raised her hand and prepaired to strike the fallen a voice with in the back of her mind called out, and Talon once more grabbed control as her eyes faded to emerald. With a few words directed at the hero Talon now fully in control sped into space. Though it was only for a small moment for X-23 once again regained control but was now confronted by neutral known as Power Surge. A Dragon like man and they started to fight. Eventually X-23 managed to gain the upper hand on Lo and smashed his body into a bolder. Talon now had enough as she managed to fight with all her might vanquishing X-23 as she raced toward her fallen friend. She had feelings for the Dragon boy but just as she was about to admit it to his unconscious self X-23 gained control. Talon now had, had enough of these switching’s someone needed to die, and it wouldn’t be her. It was then that with the help of Gemini Talon managed to split herself in two separate people Talon and X-23 and if not for Issac X-23 would have killed her.  

 Shaken she awoke in her guardians care once more determined to find her exponent and take her down though it was not long before the young girl realized she had lost her powers. After a short encounter with her relatives attempting to boost her self-esteem she ran into the city seeking out her other half.   But her journey soon came to a stop as she noticed a girl about 9 crying over the dead bodies of her parents. Feeling a sense of familiarity she took Nicole which is what the girls name was in and cared for her. In the little time she spent with Nicole she told the child everything about her, and when the two embarked to find more survivors of the broken city of San Francisco they encountered a raged filled Red Lantern. Quickly Talon attempted to save Nicole but without powers she would quickly wounded beyond her body’s capacity. Nicole stood over Talon’s body crying out her name and Talon fading out of consciousness knew she had to survive, she needed to save Nicole. She cared for this girl very deeply, she had to Lo, and save him she had too much to lose.  

 In what appeared as her darkest night a there was a flash of violet light, as Sapphire Star ring was within her grasp. Though she couldn’t see why she embraced it and the love that lingered in her heart. With that she entrusted Nicole with Saber and then sped off to the Institute yet on the way she ran into Simon Williams who was also a blue lantern and Andferne who now possessed green as well. She spoke about ordeals apologizing to the Legendary hero and once they had made amends the three took place in the war. Though much was lost, Paragon’s wife to be specific the heroes won and Talon taking the place of Kiara Sullivan as leader of the Star Sapphires she fought bravely as a hero among the heroes. The battle slowly faded and though many were lost much was gained in the end.

The War Of Kings  

It came as a shock, Talon hardly trusted anybody but she trusted her team and each member. She knew William Greystoke could pick out the moles from the mice she trusted his judgment and that was her fatal mistake. Once night she was betrayed by a member who she had not known long, Sparada. He attacked her from the darkness swift to subdue her and kidnapped her. It was only later revealed this was a way to enrage Wolf Pack knowing that Laura was the adopted daughter of The Hunter. A new team had arisen The Hidden Lotus’ among their ranks was Akiar Overdrive, Gambler, The Drifter and now Sparda as well. Obviously their plan worked Wolf Pack were alerted and the war soon began. G’bandit was one of the newest recruits his reputation far preceded him he took on how to take the base. Meanwhile while Wolf Pack were attempting a attack and rescue Talon as locked away after being brutally tortured she was thrown into what appeared a cell in the middle of the snowy wilderness. No one spoke to her though the whole place was heavily guarded. Her wounds were healing at a much slower rate due to the cold and the amount of pain that her body had taken had pushed her mental state to a point of insanity.  

 She was slowly drifting into nothingness but when all hope seemed gone out of the darkness appeared Gambler. The moment she laid eyes on the living ledged her path was sealed to his. He doubled turned on his team taking out the guards and rescuing Talon. Due to her mental stability she was losing her very sanity due to the blood loss and concussions she had received and she mistook him for William Greystoke. He wrapped a cloak around her and gently the Cajun escorted her up the mountain top. Though while Talon followed swiftly behind him something in her snapped and she knew this man was not her adopted father. Yet she was puzzled by his kindness….or deceptiveness. She wanted to know why he was doing this. Though as they traveled to the top of the mountain Sparada opposed Gambler a fight soon took place. Talon itching to get in the fray was ordered to stay at lease as the Living Ledged did what he did best. 

  After Gambler rose victorious they managed to reach their destination: A old cave. After creating a fire the Gambler started enquiring why she had chosen this path and that lead to her informing him of the countless times she had tried, she told him bits of her past pieces the little things she knew about herself. They spent several hours together speaking over a fire and Talon even took inactive and got something decent to eat. But the moment soon ended as the Cajun knew that the real Hunter was coming for his adopted daughter. It was them he released her from his debt and told her who he really was, for she had acted as if she thought he was the Lycan lord. Talon said little except hugging the man and then leaving, but before she left she grabbed ahold of his cloak snatching it from him. It is not known why she did this but to this day she still retains the icy cloak from the first time she encounter the living Ledged. Though on her way down the mountain she had a change of heart realizing that she was the reason for all of this. She was Wolf Pack’s weakness and she couldn’t be that. So instead of joining her team at the bottom she dashed off into the wilderness but it soon overcame her as her old wounds resurfaced. Eventually Talon found herself in beyond healable condition and dying in the snow. 

  That was when….he saved her. William Greystoke saved her the only way he knew how, he bit her. At that moment she had his blood running through her veins she was like him a Lycan, he had given her immortality. But time would show that in truth this gift of life would become something more hated than death.

The Light War  

Talon had recently taken a hiatus. After becoming a Lycan she really didn’t want to have anything to do with William Greystoke and she was sick and tired of getting in the way. She’d deal with her new…DNA the way she wanted to. She had returned to Nicole the girl she had left with Saber and the two of them spend some time together. It wasn’t long after that her Violet ring she had worn months ago began glowing. Astonished by this the young girl once again took up her mantel. After placing on the ring Talon and Nicole were back to back facing a red Lantern. With the little girls safely on her mind she grabbed Nicole and sped off into the sky, she wouldn’t risk this childs life. Placing the girl in a sapphire shield she engaged in battle with the creatures in the depths of space.  

 Despite it ripping off her shoulder she managed to fling the beast back to earth. As she was returning to get Nicole she was horrified to see X-23 in the girls place. But just then she recived a message from Simon Williams using his telepathy. He informed her that a being named Mogo was being attacked by the Red Lanterns, and he and Andferne needed her assistance, finally she was to meet him. Already preoccupied with the current dilemma she went to look back but found that her counterpart X-23 was no longer present. Suddenly she realized Nicole was missing, but her heart soon calmed to discovered the girl was still safe with in Laura’s shielding. Going back to earth with the child she forcefully entrusted the girl with her Guardian Issac while she pursued Simon. She went to the meeting place descending leagues under the sea and waited a few hours for her friend to arrive: But he never came. 

  It was then she wrote a letter of apology but then flew off into space. It was then that Issac confronted her, telling her that she was to lead the Violet Lanterns. Shocked by this she wouldn’t accept this responsibility but her guardian continued to speak to her off it, and the perils that would fall if she did not take this mantel. After getting away from the mans words she found herself in her own mental battle considering what he had just said. Why did she do this? Why did she bother staying here being part of Wolf Pack. These were the questions she thought until finally the answer hit her. With her faith rekindled she said the oath bravely and she became leader of the Violet Lanterns. Continuing on her coerce through space she was reunited with those that followed her: the other Violet Lanterns. After giving a speech her Lanterns of Love engaged in battle, and though Talon did her best to remain she had her own battle to face. X-23 confronted her warning her that King Hyperion, was heading to New Oa and he was about to detonate, though Talon questioned why her evil half self cared X-23 dashed off, leaving Talon no choice. With great speed she flew after King Hyperion and caught up with him attempting to stop him, but just as he was about to unleash a blast toward a fellow Green lantern Nano it was swiftly stopped but the Aid of Constantine a Violet Lantern.......
