3 Dr. Will Smith
"So how are we going to find Dr. Will Smith anyway? I haven't seen I Am Legend in a long time so I don't remember much about it." Ryan asked as he and Tyler made their way down to street level. "Don't worry, I watched the movie last night while you were cultivating. Every day he makes a broadcast telling survivors to meet him at South Street Seaport at noon, so all we have to do is get there and I know a perfect way." Tyler said as he waved his hand and the tumbler from batman begins appeared. (Image here)
"Cool right? Since it was designed as a tank that makes it a weapon, meaning I can use weapon manipulation on it." He said as he walked over and started modifying it. First, he made the interior spacious enough to fit ten people without compromising the exterior, next he made it indestructible and so that it could never run out of gas. Afterwards, he added a few other things like perfect handling, perfect tire traction, self-driving, GPS, and also a variety of different weapons.
"Okay let's go, it should only take us about 15 minutes to get from Time Square to South Street Seaport" Tyler and Ryan then hopped into the tumbler and made their way to meet Dr.Neville. After about 15 minutes, they arrived at South Street Seaport but the doctor wasn't there yet. "I guess we're early. Do you want to play video games until he arrives?" Ryan suggested while pointing at the large tv behind him. "Sure" Tyler responded. He had put the tv here for just such an occasion, whether it be for a long drive, a stakeout or for when he just didn't feel like driving and wanted to game instead.

For the next several hours the two of them simply played video games. When they got hungry, Tyler would just use his magic to make them food. At about 8 PM the two of them noticed it was starting to get dark but the doctor had yet to arrive. "He never showed up, odd?" Ryan wondered aloud. "It is weird. I wonder why-....CRAP!" Tyler yelled, cutting himself as he ran to the driver's seat. He punched the directions for the grand central station into the GPS, then started racing over abandoned cars towards the location. Thanks to the almighty shocks he installed, it felt like the tumbler was driving on flatland.
"Fam, what's the hurry?" Ryan asked confused as to what his friend was doing. "Do you remember the scene in the movie where the doctor gets caught in a snare and knocked unconscious only to have three Darkseeker dogs attack him after he wakes up?" "Oh Yeah I remember that...OH, SHIT!"
After a few minutes, they arrived just in time to see the doctor cut the rope that was holding his leg only to fall and accidentally stab himself in the thigh. "AHHHHHHH" Robert screamed in agony. After he was done screaming, a tank pulled up behind him making him wide-eyed. Not only because this would be his first time interacting with humans in 3 years, but also because he didn't have his gun, so if these people weren't friendly he would have no way of defending himself.
The canopy opened and two men jumped out, one holding a glowing blue sword and the other holding 2 futuristic looking pistols. "Need some help?" Ryan asked while holding out his free hand to the doctor. Robert nodded unknowingly so Ryan pulled him to his feet. "Ughh" Robert grunted as he tried to stand on his own. Seeing this Robert's dog Sam growled at Ryan and Tyler. "It's okay Sam. Robert said, getting the dog to stop as Ryan put Robert's arm around his shoulder and helped him walk towards the tumbler.
As this Ryan was helping the doctor, Tyler had his guns trained on the surrounding buildings. Thanks to the serum, he now had enhanced eyesight and was able to see the hundreds, if not thousands of Darkseekers through the windows of the skyscrapers. While the three men and one dog slowly made their way to the vehicle, they all heard the barking of dogs from the large hole in the side of the grand central building.
They turned to look and saw a Darkseeker holding back three infected dogs. It released the dogs and they ran towards the three men, they didn't make to far though because there was a column of sunlight shining between the buildings acting as sort of a barrier. (Image here)
"We need to leave now!" Robert said anxiously. "Relax, we'll be fine" Tyler replied while he aimed his guns at the infected dogs then used Mist Dispersion to disintegrate them. "Fuck you Fido," Tyler said as he, Ryan, Robert and Sam got into the Tumbler.
As the three men sat down, Tyler sat in the driver's seat while Ryan helped the doctor patch his wound. "We need to get to our safe house for the night," Ryan said after he had finished helping Robert. "No, we need to go to my apartment. If the Darkseekers get in, they could destroy my work on finding a cure." Rober said in pain. Tyler then reached into the glove compartment to make it look like he was searching for something while in actuality he was using his magic to make a morphine syrette.
"Where is your apartment?" Ryan asked while putting the tumbler into attack mode. This was a new feature Tyler created while he was modifying the tumbler. In this mode, the tumbler would automatically attack anything from its database it deemed an enemy. "The apartment buildings near NYU". Robert answered while clutching his leg. Even though his wound was cleaned and bandaged, getting stabbed still hurt like a bitch. (A/N. NYU is New York University, for those who don't know.)
Ryan put the address into the GPS as Tyler handed Robert the syrette of morphine. "Here this will help with the pain, but don't ask for more or you may get addicted." "Thanks," Robert said as he took the pain killer.
----
It took them about 30 minutes to reach Robert's home but by then it was already dark outside. "We can't stay here. The tumbler killed a lot of Darkseekers on the way here and more will be attracted by the massacre," Ryan said. "We have about 5 minutes before more of them show up. You two should go in and get what you need while I stay here and take down any Darkseekers that approach." Tyler continued while looking at Robert and Ryan. They nodded their head and got out. Sam, like the faithful dog she was almost followed Robert but he told her to stay in the tumbler because he knew that unlike him, she wasn't immune to KV.
"Alright, I'm gonna have some fun while I wait for those two to get back," Tyler said while he took control of one of the cannons on the tumbler, then he started blasting away any Darkseeker that got close.
----
While Tyler was having his fun mowing down Darkseekers, Ryan and Robert were making their way to the lab in the apartment's basement. When they entered the apartment, they saw that some of the windows were broken, meaning something else got here before them.
They slowly made their way downstairs and as Robert opened the door to the basement, a Darkseeker jumped out and attacked him. It pinned Robert to a wall and just before it was about to bit him, Ryan bisected it while testing out an elemental flame strike burning it to a crisp. "You good?" Ryan asked. Robert nodded and said "Thanks". The two of them then proceeded to the lab where there was an unconscious female Darkseeker lying on what looked like an operating table.
"It's working!" Robert exclaimed excitedly when seeing the Darkseeker. The Female Darkseeker was bit by bit, turning back into a human. His cure that he had been developing for the past few years was working, albeit very slowly.
"We need to hurry!" Ryan reminded the doctor urgently. "Right," Robert responded. He then quickly took out a USB and started transferring all of his research data onto it. While the data was transferring, he took a vile of blood from the female Darkseeker. Her blood contained the cure so he would need it, along with his research to make more.
"Okay, let's go," Robert said as soon as the research was done downloading. The two of them then went back upstairs to meet Tyler. When they made it back to the tumbler, the scene in front of them shocked them. All over the ground within a 10-metre radius were hundreds of dead Darkseekers, and more were trying to get close but couldn't.
From what they could see, the tumbler was absolutely annihilating the incoming threat. The canopy opened and Ryan and Robert both hopped in, after they were in and the canopy closed, Tyler set the cannon he was using back to auto and then speed away. They were going back to the penthouse in Time square. Unlike Robert's house, The penthouse Tyler made the day before was indestructible so even if the Darkseekes found them, they would never be able to break in.
"Did you get what you need?" Tyler asked. "Yeah" Robert replied. "Good," Tyler said, he then nodded at Ryan who preceded to give the doctor a chop on his neck knocking him out. After he was unconscious, Tyler put the tumbler in auto-drive, then he teleported everyone in the vehicle to the penthouse.
They did this for 3 reasons. The first being, they didn't want the Darkseekers to know where they were going. The penthouse may be indestructible but it would still be annoying if they showed up every night. The second being that there was no normal way into it. The only way in was by teleportation, which also leads to the third reason. Tyler and Ryan didn't want the doctor to know about their supernatural abilities.
In the briefing they got when they come to this world it said that rare people would develop enhanced PHYSICAL abilities. Ryan's earlier show of an elemental flame strike could be explained away as pyrokinesis but teleportation would be almost impossible to explain as physical power and not something supernatural.
After they had arrived back at the penthouse, Ryan put the doctor in one of the extra rooms while Tyler went to remodel the penthouse a bit. He added a normal entrance/exit and also few more rooms as well as made one of them a replica of Robert's lab, though he had left out the bulletproof plexiglass as it wasn't necessary. After he was done he went to the living room and met up with Ryan to talk about what to do next.
