Tallikut: Hunter
Carl grew up in New York, ended up running with the wrong crew found himself in jail. It was during this time he discovered he had an unique gift.
His skin was impenetrable and had super strength.
He contemplated escaping Prison when a man in a wheel chair, along with a lawyer, Thomas MacLaughin, showed up to give him another option.
He was released on bail, later discovering the lawyer had got his prison time reduced and dropped.
Carl spent a year at Charles Xavier school, learning about Mutants. And here he had thought the idiot Stillson was batshit. He swore loyalty to the mountie, liking Benton instantly, then sent to New York to work with Cameron Poe.
He now works in New York, and is friends with Zoe and helps her out when she needs it. His main contact with Tallikut is Claire, also coming into to her clinic if things get to rough.
It wasn’t until recently he met Jessica Jones, and discovered he’s her Mate.
They realized he can’t be Turned, but he is by her side – always.
***
Jessica’s family had been chosen ones, and had known Peter Parker for at least two generations. They had moved to New York from Los Angeles a few years after she was born. Jessica would tell you that she had the typical childhood, only with a Vampire Uncle.
And as a teenager she was a bit moody, but who wasn’t.
She lost her parents when she was sixteen. The family was on a the way home from a trip to Disneyworld, when they were involved in a car accident. She barely survived, waking up from a coma, months later. It took her a year to get back into normal life.
In the meantime all her friends had moved on.
Zoe took her in, so she wouldn’t have to go to foster care, and let her finish highschool. It sucked, but she made it through, graduating with honors.
She tried college for a few years, but ended up dropping out, wanting to be more like Aunt Zoe, who smiled at her, and told her the city was only big enough for one of them. Instead she ended up building a Private Investigator Business. Using Zoe’s contacts, and with the help with ‘Slip’ who she found out later was Carl Lucas also known as Luke Cage.
It was years later when one of her cases went bad and she was shot in the middle of a bad situation. She barely made it to Claire’s clinic, the Vampire nurse was ready to Turn her, but Peter, having heard about the shooting from Cage, showed up – she was her Uncle after all.
(Dilios Note: No one talks about the damage Cage did to the shooter)
