Bullet

Bullet

Life was just one battle after another, he would want it no other way.

Form his childhood games of Cowboys and Indians, he liked to the Indians, to being on the wrestling squad in high school. It was always the same, prove that you are a better planner, player or wrestler then the other guy. It all came together when he turned 18 years old, he would join the military. He had been thinking about joining for as long as he could remember, now it was time. For most young men, it was the first recruiter that they came to that decided what force he would join, not him, he had stacks of books at home. History of the Armed Forces, various Janes titles and guides to the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. He knew exactly what he wanted.

He joined the Marines, he did not want to end up in the Marines, but it was his first step. He wanted to test himself against the instructors. He knew that he was in top physical shape, it was the mental testing that he wanted. Once out of boot camp, he immediately requested to join the Navy SEAL's. His fellow Marines gave him a lot of grief for going to the SEAL's, but he knew that the SEAL's are the best of the best, the ultimate warriors, and that's what he was.

He enjoyed his tour in the desert immensely, this was what he wanted. He was sent to many of the worlds hot spots. Middle East, Central America, Africa and Far East he was seeing the world and doing his share to keep is safe.

He came to a crossroads in his military career, it was time for him to start learning the paper pusher side of things. He had proven time and again that he was a very capable solder, now he had to take a shore post and show that he could lead from a desk and make those decisions as well. He was on his way up the ladder, but he was loosing what we loved, the action.

Instead of signing up for another 4 yrs of state side desk surfing, he left and went into the private sector. He met a nice woman and got married, he went through two divorces in six months. He came to a realization: he was made to be a solder, nothing else would do. He was walking back to the recruiter, back to his true home, when he came across a robbery. It was two mutants that were robbing an armored car, right in the middle of the street. Did they not care about who could get hurt? There were kids in some of these cars, he took action.

Removing his combat knife from his duffle bag, he vanished behind the cover of the parked cars. He moved along the rows of cars till he was close to armored car and next to an SUV. He rolled under the large vehicle and was now right next to the armored car, the mutants had not seen him. He saw that the woman in the car behind the armored car was still at the wheel of her vehicle, he would have to be quick with this, he didn't want anything bad to happen to the innocents. He moved to the rear of the armored car and closer to the first of the two mutants. Close combat was his favorite, though he had never tackled a super before, this would be a great challenge.

Like a coiled viper, he struck with blinding speed. A kick to the mid-section, a slash to the face with the knife and an arm bar to spin the mutant around into a "human shield" position was all the first one took. He buddy did the rest, laser fire put big holes into the human shield as the solder carried him to the other side of the armored car and out of sight. Once out of sight, he dropped the lifeless form of his shield and dropped to the ground, rolled under the shielded truck and came up on the other side of the armored car, coiled and ready to strike again.

The other mutant was dumber then the first. He got out of the truck and moved around to the side that the solder had already left. This was a piece of cake. A slice to the leg, a kick to head, an arm bar to spin him into the armored truck, head first. The second mutant was on his knees now, but still conscious. A second blow to the head, this time by the butt of knife sent him to dream land.

He had not felt a thrill like that in a long time, the danger had his heart racing, his muscles twitching for more action. The truth was that "solders" where not a good opponent for him any longer, he was too well trained and seasoned. The thrill in the military was past, he had grown too good at being a solder, but this was something different. He had found his calling. He would be a mercenary, specializing in super-powered jobs. He would call himself ...... Bullet.
