DEATH and a SECOND CHANCE

*AN: I don't see much reason to drag out this part so I will just breeze through it to get to the plot.*

Where am I? I can't see anything. Did I die? I remember crossing the street, then nothing. I think I was hit.

"You were hit by a car that ran the red light, my child."

"Who are you?"

"You mortals call me by a lot of names, but you can simply call me God. However your soul is breaking apart because of my presence so I need to hurry. I will transport you to a world of your choosing, and I will grant you 3 wishes to aid you in your new life. Choose carefully, and quickly."

FUCK, I really died... at least I'm getting a second chance, "I want to go to 'The Walking Dead' world as Rick Grimes' twin brother, but make me the first born. For my first wish, I want all of John Wick's combat related experience. For my second wish, I want a diluted super soldier serum. For my third wish, I want the ability to give people an even more diluted s.s. serum, but it also makes them extremely loyal to me. Nothing cult-like, but they will never betray me."

"Granted, now then we have wasted enough time. Go! Enjoy your second chance of life." and with a flick of God's fingers I was sent to my new life as David Grimes.

Everything went black, and I woke up in a bed. According to my memories, Rick and I just turned 5 yesterday. Now to start planning. In the comic, Rick was shot when he was about 29 if I remember correctly, but early 30s in the show. So just to be safe, I'll say I have about 24 years to get ready and become strong enough to protect mine. With that said I can already feel the serum doing its job, I feel about how I felt at the peak of my last life already. It seems when I'm ready to give someone the serum, I just need to touch them and think of giving them it.

****Time Skips ahead****

*AN: I'm taking a little bit of inspiration from 'TWD: Wild And Free' by McTripp, for his early childhood.*

***Warning: I know just enough about military stuff to sound stupid so take it with a grain of salt. Also it's kind of hard to get a straight answer about when dates are, but I'm trying my best to stick around the correct dates so feel free to comment if you see any mistakes or just go with it.***

My school years went about how you would expect them to. I did boy scouts growing up, to try and find some possible candidates to help me. So far I have 10 for sure that's going to join me. I've already given them their serum to help them grow. All ten of them are joining whatever branch of the military they choose when they turn 18 at the end of the school year. I did force them to take different paths though, just so we have our bases covered. Rather it's combat medic, sniper, or explosive operator, just to give a few examples. Since we won't be seeing a lot of each other for awhile, I did hint about a possible shit storm coming. Also told them to keep an eye open for possible recruits we could use to strengthen our group.

My senior year went by pretty quick since I graduated early. I signed up to become a marine and I'll be turning 18 towards the end of boot camp. I grew up pretty well. I look a little like Rick, but I have blonde hair. I'm standing at 6'5" with the physique of a slimmed down boulder punching Chris Redfield. As of right now, I'm clean shaven with a buzz cut due to boot camp.

Boot camp was a breeze, just follow your orders and do things how you were shown. After boot camp, I did what I had to do, and ended up joining the Special Forces Marine Raiders in 2006 when it was refounded. At this time I have about 3 years till the show begins.

I purchased a farm with a lot of land near the Greene Farm that will be our homemade F.O.B. since Maggie is wifey material, sorry Glen. I've been in contact with my friends and over the years we've basically transformed the farm into a compound. Complete with walls around the main living areas, which can house about 100 people comfortably. Maybe 200 if we really need to cram in. The rest of the land is fenced. At some point we may build walls, but it's a low priority at the moment since we will be running patrols anyways. We also have been stockpiling everything from clothes, meds, canned food, misc. supplies, and most importantly guns and ammo. Total number of active/retired soldiers we have currently are 47 with a total of 171 family members that will be living with us. It won't be a free ride, everyone will have to bring something to the table with the exception of children under 16, and the elderly. With the updated count on people we will have to expand the walls to accommodate a bigger living area, but we have roughly 3 years so it will come together in time.

*AN: I do apologize for being all over the place with the buildup, but it needed to be done so we can get to the plot with a little background information for this group I created. I haven't came up with a name for them yet so if anyone is reading this and would like to suggest a name please do. The next chapter will have the remaining 3 years covered and I plan to get into the plot a little. One last thing before I go. If you are wondering about what Rick is doing since I haven't mentioned him much, he is basically just gonna stick to his 'script' since I want to keep the beginning of the plot, canon for the most part. So expect interactions with them later. I feel like I don't need to say this but their relationship is fine by the way, brotherly love and all lol. Also I don't plan on giving Rick the serum, but that could change. I just don't see it needed with his plot luck lol. Thank you if you read this far. Have a good day/night.*
