May Not Be So Bad.

Jack sat in the middle of nowhere watching the first video on what to do and found that it was not that complicated. It was about how to control his claws and fangs which was to simply focus on what he wanted and to flex the muscles in his fingers. Seeing the large claws that he was on his left hand made him fully realize that he was in fact not dreaming.

He looked around and saw that there were no trees for miles and he sighed as he was left in the plains area instead of a wooded area. If that were the case he could have tested them out on a tree.

Andon in the video began the next part. "The next part is your fangs. Similar, but a bit more tricky. You will need to focus on the whole jaw as if you just grow your fangs you might bite yourself."

Jack tried it and opened his jaws as big as he could to try to grow his teeth, but he almost freaked out when his jaw began to break and grow along with his teeth turning into razor-sharp fangs. He did not stop it, but if he did not stop he would turn into a full-blown wolf.

Andon nodded. "Well, I assume you did it already. So what you need to know is that your bite is full of extremely toxic venom that might turn others into a werewolf for you to command. They will be unable to betray you, but from what I saw in your mind you would avoid it."

Jack nodded. "I have no interest in having a big army. I will leave that as needed."

Andon coughed for the next part. "Well, the next part is your transformation. You have about 3 forms you can take: your human form, your wolf form, and your werewolf form. Your wolf form is about 5 meters tall and your werewolf form is about 4. One is for brute power and the other more for speed."

Andon explained. "Well, it is similar to how you did the jaw and thing just over the whole body. You need to think about what form to take, but I recommend you do not do it now. The jaws, claws, and teeth were one thing, but the body is another. Take your time. Have fun wolf boy."

The video got cut and Jack did not believe for a second that it was a video. It was like Andon was so bored he acted like it was a video, but for now, he was stuck here.

"Ok so right now Texas is part of Mexico, a good thing my friend Agustin from my Army days taught us Spanish. So If I am in the plains area I should be in North Texas so I could go to Mexico or the U.S.."

Jack got up and looked at the full moon and saw it was at its highest point so it had to be pretty late at night so he had a few hours to think. He thought for a second and he realized he could use a little help.

He focused on what Andon told him and his jaws and face began to crack and grow to that of a werewolf-like look, but he did not instead turn the full way. He howled into the night sky to see if there were wolves in the area. From what he had seen werewolves could call on wolves to help them so maybe he could do the same.

After he stopped his face went back to normal and he waited and not long after he heard a grand orchestra of howls in the distance. He waited and in about 5 minutes he saw a small pack of wolves running to him.

It made him realize that the wolf was nearly hunted to extinction because of greedy people so maybe he could help the wolves. The leading wolf was a big black wolf and when they got to him the wolves looked really to help.

He kneeled down and began to pet the leading wolf. "So I guess wolves are loyal to me. Wonder If it has to do with that Fenrir blood, I think he was the God of Wolves so it makes sense."

The lead wolf nodded as Jack might as well be God to them. "Ok, take me to people."

The wolves nodded and began to run North and he ran beside them. He found that he could keep up easily and if he wanted he could outrun them by a long shot, but they knew the area better than him so he just had to wait.

The wolves were trotting to not get tired while he was doing the same. He was not at all tired and he realized how clean the air was. He found that it was much better than anything he knew before. It was nice.

After a while, they got to a small town and the small pack of 6 wolves stopped. Jack looked at the wolves and he stopped as he realized if the people saw the wolves they might be shot. He looked at the wolves who helped him and he started to think that maybe he could give the wolves a better image than their current image.

His phone began to vibrate and he picked up. "Hello."

"Hey, Jack I saw the wolves and your idea. Look behind you."

Jack looked behind him and saw 6 dog collars and a few chains for the wolves. He felt it was fine and nodded.

"Are you sure you should be helping me? I thought it was supposed to be entertainment for you."

Andon snorted. "Something small like this is nothing. Of course, if you die in a fight I won't help, but for small items like this is just fine. I gotta go, you are not my only show to watch."

Jack coughed. "Wait, you got more like me?"

Andon nodded. "Of course. Some of them are even older than your entire human history. You might meet some of them or even join them later. Just so you know none of them is a werewolf. I do not do repeats. Bye."

After he hung up Jack put the phone in his pocket and he picked up the collars and approached the wolves. "So you guys are ok with this?"

The 6 wolves nodded and wagged their tails like they were normal dogs. Now that he got a look at them they were all rather pretty. In order, they were black, brown, white, silver-grey, and dirty brown and black silver.

"Well alright."

He put the colors on all of them and began to name them in order from their colors. "You will be Erebus, Canelo, Jack, Fang, Beru, and Red. Names are not my strong suit."

The wolves looked over the moon with their names and they wanted to howl, but the people may get them. Jack did not realize, but the wolves by being around him were going to get stronger.

He grabbed the chains and hooked up the wolves to them. What he found was that he could stretch it and shrink it at will so he began to walk to the town. When he got closer a guy with a cigarette and musket saw him and the wolves and pointed his gun at him.

"Stop right there. State your name and what is with the wolves and skull. Are you a satanist?"

"No sir. I am a traveling performer. I train and tame wolves to show the people that wolves are not the monsters they think they are. As for my outfit, it's part of the show."

Jack saw how the guy did not look very healthy, but that might be normal.

"So you are a performer? What do the mutts do?"

Jack smiled. "Sit."

The wolves sat and looked like happy dogs. The guy looked at them in wonder as they listened to him. Next, he told them to beg, roll over and speak. The more the guy saw he believed it was a show and he wanted a wolf.

"Can you train any mutt to do that?"

Jack nodded. "With time and patience, any animal can be tamed. Just look at Mustangs, those horses can be broken can't they."

The guy nodded. "Well come in. Just don't cause trouble. Keep the mutts chained or you might be hanged if they cause issues."

Jack nodded. "Oh, where am I by the way? I have been traveling out in the wild trapping wolves for my show and idea."

Guy explained. "This is San Antonio. I am just a guard. Names Harold by the way."

"My name is Jack Conners. These are Erebus, Canelo, Jack, Fang, Beru, and Red."

The wolves barked when they heard their names.

"You named the mutts?"

"They're not mutts good sir. They are noble wolves and should be treated as such. Well, I shall be off."

Jack entered the town or whatever you want to call it and he realized he did not have any money so he might want to get some the next morning. He just walked around the town and it was a small town as this was before it was a state.

"Maybe I should just turn and run away, but he did say I was in Marvel so from what I know I do not want to stand out or change the timeline, but I don't care. I can get rich by stealing inventions from my day as the war is starting soon. There is always money to be made in war."

He just sat on the side of a building with the wolves and he did not need to sleep. The wolves all laid down with him and on his lap and he tried to fall asleep even if he was in no way tired. However, sleep was a good way to speed up time.

He just waited for the next morning as people started their day early. He looked at his watch which came with him and saw that it was 7:30 where people began to leave their houses.

He smelled a little kid running up to him who looked to be about 8. The kid had this interested look in his eyes and spoke with an accent of the time.

"Hey, Mister. Them wolves?"

Jack stood up while the wolves yawned and stretched. 'I did say I would put on a show as well.'

Jack smiled and nodded. "You bet your ass they are. I was about to put on a show soon, but it seemed you were the first to notice."

The kid smiled and pointed at Erebus. "Are they friendly?"

"As long as they are well fed and not hurt, yes."

"Can I pet it?"

"Go ahead."

The kid reached out and petted the black wolf and felt how soft the fur was.

"I want a wolf, sir?"

"Well, kid, you need to have time, patience, and a puppy wolf and train it from young. Now if you excuse me I got to get ready for my show."

"Can I help? Ma always says to help those that need it."

"Well, your mom sounds like a good person. Sure what the heck. Any place where a lot of people go?"

"YEAH, the square, come on."

The kid ran off and Jack followed him with the wolves while people gave him the stink-eye from his outfit and the wolves, but some looked interested.

When they got to the square people were looking at Jack, the kid, and the wolves. Jack coughed and cleared his voice as he might as well make some money. while he was here.

"Hello, good people of San Antonio. My name is Jack Conners traveler and pioneer. So anyone here has been told that wolves are killers that can't be tamed. Well, that trash. Look right here these are 6 wolves that I tamed myself."

One man spat on the ground. "Wolves kill cattle and people. Take your mutts elsewhere or leave with the pelts."

Jack decided to kill that guy later, but not now. "Well if that was true what about this kid?"

The same guy looked at him and squinted his eyes. "James? What are you doing with him?"

James smiled. "He let me pet the wolf. I wanted to help him."

Some people started to listen a little more and Jack smiled. "Alright how about a few coins to pet a wolf and see if I am lying or not. James care to prove it?"

James nodded and pet Erebus again and the people looked scared for the kid, but the big wolf did nothing but wag his tail and pant like a good dog. A few kids wanted to pet them too and began to beg their parents to give them some coins so they could pet a wolf.

Most parents did not allow it, but one girl's father allowed it and gave her the coins so she approached a little scared as Jac was huge.

"Sir, can I pet your wolf?"

Jack extended his hand and took the coins and nodded. "Choose one. Petting another will cost you extra."

She approached Fang who was the silver one and petted the female wolf and smiled when she did not do anything to her. Seeing how the kids were fine a few more parents allowed their kids and Jack made a bit of cash until a man in a better outfit than the others.

"Greetings sir, I am the mayor of this town. Would I be able to interest you in some business?

Jack felt he just scored one of his small-time goals. "Sure I am interested."

"Splendid, can we go now?'

Jack nodded. "I ain't doing much else at the moment. Let's go."

Jack followed the man with pockets full of coins he had no idea how much was worth. So this might be a good business offer where he can lay low for now until he needs to go wild.
