David's unconscious, I can't get into the base, I can hear the police coming and they'll want to take him to the hospital and he'd get unmasked, and that WAS David who shot that stuff out and contained the monster. Right?

Speaking of the monster it was struggling to get out and kept releasing growls and howls. I began to struggled to lift David. I'd have to take him to the park and go through the main entrance. Good thing city hall isn't to far from it.

I had just finally managed to lift David when the monster fell silent and stopped moving. I watched in horror as a piece of the monster slowly split off, becoming a blob.

The blob struggled to take form but eventually became a small dog looking thing. It had a dog body and face, with tiny wings, and a strange tail that resembled a fish. The shadow animal saw me and came running. I beaded for impact and after a while when nothing hit me I looked down to see the animal sitting at my feet.

He looked up at me with his shadow tongue rolling out of his mouth. He let out a small bark and stood on his hind legs to lick my hand. "What the fuck are you doing?" I asked curious. The animal just barked.

I stopped worrying about what it was doing because it didn't seem to be trying to hurt me or David. Instead I switched back to worrying about David. His skin had turned into a sickly grey color and his breathing was shallow.

I dragged him to the doors and struggled to open them. After cursing loudly I saw the animal walk over. He jumped up and managed to turn the door nob. He barked at me and nudged the door open. I nodded my thanks and dragged David down the stairs and the sidewalk until I reached the park.

As I turned into the park I felt David becoming easier to drag. Looking back at his feet I saw the animal had moved himself under his legs and was walking with me. How strange.

I led the animal to a huge tree in the middle of the park. There I reached into one of the nots in the tree and pressed the small button David had shown me. The tree moved back and stairs where revealed. I groaned. This is gonna take forever.

Time skip

Me and the animal, who I had decided I would call Winston, had managed to maneuver David down the stairs and I put him on the gurney in the medical bay. I stripped off his coat and undershirts to look at his shoulder.

The bite had turned a ugly green and the skin around it was grey. "I have no idea how to treat this." I said to no one as I froze in place. He just had to get freaking bit by the monster and would you look at me naming and considering keeping the same animal.

I turned to glare down at Winston. "This is all your fault! Now he's gonna fucking die!" I shouted at the shadow animal. He whimpered and looked up at the gurney. I slid to the ground and began to cry. Winston came over and licked my cheek. I shoved him away.

Winston whimpered again and began to struggle to get on the gurney. I watched him for a moment and then decided to help him. I lifted him up and he climbed over to David's shoulder and began to lick the bite. I watched in amazement as a green substance bubbled out and Winston licked it up.

Running over I saw that the bite mark looked normal long with the skin around it. In fact David looked completely normal. He was still passed out though. I hurried to bandage the bite before it got infected and picked Winston up. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. Thank you so much." I hugged him against me and he let out a happy bark.

Winston wiggled out of my arms and ran over to a table and barked. "Whatcha got there?" I asked walking over. On the table was a mask. It was a monkey with a cigar in its mouth. As a joke I picked it up and put it on. It fit my face nicely and it felt eerily familiar.

I closed my eyes and felt something creeping in.

Memory

"Get out you fucking failure! I never loved you!" My mother yelled as she hit me. "Mom it's not my fault." I tried to protest only for me to be slapped again. It's always been like this since my dad and brother died in a car accident. "Nobody even wants you here why are you still alive!" She shouted again as she pushed me out the door. I swallowed back my tears as I left my house. Mom was right. I might as well die. I ran to the bridge down the street. I stood on the side looking down at the churning water bellow. "Good bye world." I whispered and jumped. Halfway through the fall I was stopped. Looking around I saw that some sort of goop was latched onto the bridge. 'Was that coming from me?' I thought. I experimentally stuck my hand out and more goop flew out. I smiled and managed to move myself back up on top of the bridge. Maybe I should use this for good. I can live on my own now. I don't need to go home. I smiled to myself. '"Los Santos is getting a hero."

End

"Wha-" I started but was cut off as another memory surfaced.

Memory

It was dark, cold, lonely. Running away was a bad idea. I thought I could be a hero but now I'm just homeless. I looked around. It was raining the bridge I lived under was my only protection. I need money and food. I can't get a job in to young. 'You have your powers.' A small voice in my head said. That's right. I'll rob a place once or twice when I have enough to get on my feet I'll become a super hero and repay the city. After digging around I found a ski mask. "Only just a few times." I promised myself.

End Memory

Memory

This seemed to go smother than I expected. I had the hostages under control, I was getting the cash, and I hadn't even had to use my powers yet.  The woman behind the counter put the last dollar in the bag and I turned to go. My hand shook as I pointed it at the roof and shot. I wouldn't hurt anyone. A life isn't something you can repay. I was heading out the door when a mask caught my eye. It was a monkey with a cigar. I smiled 'I could use a mask.' I thought as I grabbed it and put it in my bag.

End memory

Another memory

I was used to it now. The shaking of my hand if I held the gun to tightly, the threats to various hostages that looked down on me, the feel off the mask against my face, the deep voice I used when I told the store clark to put the money in the bag, it was all stuff I was familiar with. I'll admit I was still robing when I didn't need to be. It just drew me in. I've never had to use my power so I could still be a hero. I just couldn't seem to stop robbing. I felt powerful, strong, independent. It was like a drug and I was the hopeless addict. A crashing sound sent me wondering around the convince store. "Who's there!" I shouted as I rounded into one of the aisles. Crouched on the ground there was a man wearing a skin tight black suit (as in super suit) and a black plain mask. "I'm here to stop you Squeaker." The man said. "Stop me?" I asked confused. "I'm Daithi De Nogla and I'm the new superhero." He announced. Before I could say anything he was swinging a punch at me. I narrowly avoided it but he kept swinging, not allowing me to retaliate. I mentally cursed. Eventually he had me backed into a corner. "Leave. Your not robbing this store." He said. I frowned. "You and me aren't to different. It depends on where your looking at it from." I said. I couldn't understand. I'm a hero why is he beating me. I was gonna be this city's hero.

End memory

"I-I-I'm the villain..." I mumbled confused. Everything came rushing back to me. The last robbery I was in, the super villain, the fire. That's why I'm here. I should leave. But... its been so long since I had a roof over my head and someone to look after me. Then there's the question of if I have feelings for Daithi.

I can't right? I'm a villain. Maybe I shouldn't let him know I have my memory back. I can use this time to get more information about him. It'll be the perfect infiltration mission. He'll never see it coming.

'That's not why you wanna stay.' A voice in the back of my head said. I ignored it and shakily stood up. I placed the mask back on the table and grabbed Winston. Together we payed on the gurney next to David and feel asleep.
