War Stirring.

(I am no history geek so some things may be wrong. However, I got most of this from documentaries I watched at school so do not quote me.)

After his small slaughter of all those who had gone after his life was done for he began to prepare for the upcoming war. He knew he had to be at the Alamo and just maybe he would change history and end the war early.

For that, he had to make sure that he could ensure most of the Mexican Army was held back and what better for that than barbed wire. If they could just be slightly slowed down they could be mowed down by the cannons at the Alamo. For that, he would have to have a reason to be there.

As Jack thought of his plan he remembered the siege lasted about 13 days and if he played his cards right he may just gain a reputation as the one who defeated the Mexican Army which might allow for one of his possible plans like his election to be President of Texas.

'Well it is a good idea, but leading a new country would be draining so maybe I can have a puppet in charge. For that, I may need to get a werewolf loyal to me as the president, but for that, I may need to get a scientist who understands this better than I would.'

He sighed as he did not expect it would be this hard to turn people, but seeing how the mutation kills people and the amount someone would have to go through to survive a total DNA overwrite would lead to death.

Suddenly as if he was struck by lightning he thought of two people who he could use who would most likely survive as their regeneration factor should work to his advantage.

"James Howlet and Victor Creed, both had an extreme regeneration factor. Maybe that could keep them alive while the X gene in their bodies can take the extreme mutation from my werewolf genes. That could work."

Jack was glad he could recall every single memory from his mind and remembered the movie Wolverine Original and while the movies were not the same as the comics they still had some small aligning traits.

He remembered the date at the moment and it was currently October 5, 1833 and the war would be starting in about a year at the battle of Gonzalas meaning he could start selling some weapons to the Revolutionists. As long as his oil fields were not touched as he would be happy He could and would not be giving those up.

For that, he looked at the 12 muskets of different types on his desk that had been taken apart while he was messing with many parts trying to get something that resembled the Muskets of the Civil War time frame.

Most of his inventions ended up exploding in his face and hands, but as he kept it up he found the number of failures and semi-success were beginning to look up to his success. Jack reached behind him and grabbed a large piece of raw steak and began to eat it raw.

"Still can't get over the fact it is raw, but it tastes so much better like that."

He licked his lips while he savored the fresh and lean meat of Bison. At the same time, he was looking at his current prototype and he went outside to test it. He had bought a large estate for himself and his pets so he was all alone here. It was honestly better because he liked just being alone.

He would be able to hear and smell everything in a city or town, so being out in the country was better for him. He would have to get used to the sound as he would one day have to live in New York as he would be having his business there or his other plan.

"Or I can take over Wakanda in the near future. They still are not at the point of making super tech so I have time."

He thought about the literal mountain of Vibranium they were sitting on and it was too good to pass up. No man who had any bit of knowledge of the world of Marvel would pass up the biggest store of Vibranium on Earth and it would be his in time.

Realizing he was letting his imagination and greed take over him he shook his head to get back on track.

"Shit, can't let my greed get the better of me. For now baby steps."

He began to load the musket in about 13 seconds so it was not much. He aimed at one of the trees and pulled the trigger. Lucky for him it did not blow up in his face and fired quite accurately hitting it dead and center.

His pets all looked at him with interest as anything he did to them was like he was giving a great speech when he was just working. He kept testing it and fired about 10 more times and for the most part, his work was a success. Jack mused to himself about the money he would be making and laughed at his success.

"Well it is a good thing that this worked, but I really need to not let my greed for money come back to bite me. Lucky me my PTSD and depression seem to have disappeared after I became a werewolf, and I almost gave it up for a life of drinking till I died."

He shook his head at his dumb idea from before as he might have already drunk his liver dead or shot himself, but for now, this was better. He sat down while Canelo, his silver black wolf nuzzled up to him.

"Well at the very least I can make sure these guys are as strong as possible. still have not tested what would happen if I gave you my blood or bit you."

He ran his hand on the wolf's fluffy neck and thought about taking a good chemist for his tests. He remembered the Underworld movies when Lucian did that just to make a hybrid so why would he not do the same, but who could he take?

Most of the famous chemists of the 19th century were all either children at the moment or not even alive. He was too far back to make the most of his plans, but he should just wait.

"Man, why did he have to send me so far back? There is barely anything I can do besides getting rich or plan for the future. Of course not like it is safe right now as I still have Dracula and his vampire to deal with."

He thought back to the little he knew of Dracula in Marvel comics and he drew a blank. He just did not know enough, as most of his knowledge was from movies and some comics he read as a kid which were not much.

"Ok, change in plans boys and girls."

Ar his voice, his pets all sat up in two neat rows of 5 all looking at him waiting for his order.

"Ok, so we know I am in the middle of the early 18th century and I can be considered one of the future richest men as I own the Texas oil fields and am the inventor of barbed wire, so any ideas of what I can do?"

A few barks, whines, and howls made him regret asking. Their ideas of what he should do involved 'eating them, blowing them away, killing them, and enslaving them. Even becoming an alpha human.'

"You know I regret asking a bunch of wolves what to do, however, I am alone right now. I wonder what the original Fenrir is doing at this moment as it was one of the most overpowered beings able to fight Thor and Odin and survive."

He was glad he had that as the Asgardian Physiology on top of his extreme regeneration factor, his werewolf biological immortality was beginning to make him one of the most powerful beings on Earth at the moment. He was not cocky to go out of his way to put a target on his back as he only went after small estates.

Death was a being who would not go out of her way to destroy him herself so that did not count. He sat down on a chair he had while he thought of many plans he could use for what to do besides boring business.

As much as it was important for his future it really was boring, but he had to make the most of it. He could not just do nothing while he was here as it would waste the advantage he had before S.H.I.E.L.D, and The Avengers was a big thing.

"Well for now it is time for me to begin my new name as a man who cashes in on the war. After this, I might need to go overseas to keep my fortune as this is the time of wars."

After his success with his new Musket that he named the Connors Musket he just had to test it a bit further to make sure there were no kinks in the design which would not take him longer than a week or two.

He also had to make sure he started selling his rifles when the war was at the point of erupting as Mexico may just get them and use them to win the war. In the two weeks he was working on them he and his wolves just spent some time training or relaxing as he would not be having such an easy time like right now.

He suddenly smelled an unfamiliar smell approaching his Estate and he stood up from his workshop to see who it was. From what he could hear and smell they sounded like Mexican soldiers as they spoke Spanish, but they may just be Tejanos as speaking Spanish in Texa was not totally uncommon.

He suddenly heard a few barks and snarls from outside as his wolves were ordered not to let anyone approach. The leading soldier looked a bit nervous as his men took aim in case the wolves attacked, but a loud whistle took everyone's attention to the door.

[Captain Santonio Cruz pov] (Made up will be in Spanish as he is Mexican.)

From what Captain Santonio could see in the doorway it was a man who was bigger than anyone he had ever seen with clothes blacker than possible at the time. The large skull at the center of the shirt gave him a more intimidating look than expected.

He cleared his voice and spoke.

"Lamento interrumpirlo o molestarlo señor, pero ha sido invitado a México para hablar con el presidente Santa Anna. He oído hablar de su negocio de domesticar y controlar a los lobos y nos gustaría encargar varios, pero podemos hablar de eso más tarde."

[Jack POV]

"No, no es ninguna molestia. Me sentiría honrado de ir, pero como pueden ver, tengo muchas de mis propias mascotas de las que cuidar. Nadie más, excepto yo, puede cuidarlos."

The captain felt a bit better as Jack knew Spanish which was a good sign. He looked at the translator he brought in case it was needed but it seemed it was for nothing. After about another hour they talked about if Jack could go to Mexico within the year.

However, Jack had no intention of going to Mexico. Not when he intended to cause Mexico to lose Texas even earlier, but at least the man was respectful. If he had been rude and even if the man's soldiers had shot his wolves he would have killed them all.

For now, he would wait until the war began when he would start the sale of the Connors Musket. It was better than most of the muskets that might take a whole minute to load while this could be used in just 10 to 15 seconds.

"Well, time to get my plan in motion."

I am thinking of adding the Underworld universe, but I am not sure. I can do it as a sub-species of vampire, not from Dracula, but I will think about it. I did like Lucian and Raze, here is also the translation of what they said in Spanish.

Spanish-(I am sorry to interrupt or bother you sir, but you have been invited to Mexico to talk to President Santa Ana. I have heard of your business to tame and control wolves and we would like to commission several, but we can talk about that later."

No, no it is no bother at all. I would be honored to go, but as you can see I have many of my own pets to look after. No one else, but me can look after them.
