3 Step into the Dark side

Queens, New York
10.46pm
"Come one come all gentlemen, do I have a gift for you" said a scrawny middle-aged man in a dirty suit, "We all have suffered a loss of business lately because of the latest freak so papa Kurk here as just what you need". All the other men surrounding said 'Kurk' were all obviously the different gangs throughout New York, opening the trunk to reveal a long thick black case.
Kurk pulls out the case before closing the trunk places it on top of the trunk and opens it revealing what looked like a triple-barreled bazooka, "This my friends is the latest tech out of Lexcorp's weapon program, just set, fire and forget. The newest in homing-tech never misses its target" said Kurk "it's payload comes in two parts first is the initial contact releasing a cryogenic mixture of liquid nitrogen, magnesium and another assortment of mixtures. Next comes the real boom from a thermite round located further behind the previous round, the two compounds mix and the heat generated alone is nearly 3200°c".
All the gang members look impressed, "How many rounds get we get?" asks one of the gang members, Kurk looks at him "each round is $10,000 but you will receive six round initially after purchasing this 'badboy' " said Kurk softly rubbing the long tri-zooka. 'I'm definitely absorbing that' before the gangsters can start betting I target everyone there except kurk, shooting them with one of my tazer-rounds into the neck incapacitating them.
Kurk looks around nervously "Oh shit" before immediately running off with the weapon in its case, how they never expected me not to find out about this is beyond me. Watching Kurk try run out the warehouse I quickly shot a tracker onto his shoe before focusing on the gang members, after five minutes their all lined up and tied will all personal equipment seized (stolen).
I begin to chase after Kurk 'hopefully he can lead me to the supplier' as I begin to race off merging with one of the gang members cars I dangerous maneuver through all the small alleyways, soon I find Kurk but with the Tri-zooka out fearfully looking in every direction for me. 'Wow he's an idiot', I un-merge and begin to climb the building next to him.
Kurk doesn't notice a thing before he is suddenly lifted off the ground from his leg with my arm making him drop the weapon, he looks at me scared "Who is your supplier?!" I said loudly in a dark voice (Malware voice). Kurk just keeps shaking fearfully unable to speak, "Speak, or die" I say slowly 'that might motivate him'.
"I-I don't kn-now" kurk said quietly, "I just get a call and go to the location, after I sell what they want they tell me where to go to leave their cut". 'If this is true these guys are professional compared to these idiots', "How have you been keeping contact?" I question, "I-I just get a burner p-phone in the mail, after one message I break it" said Kurk.
'Damn it nothing' I gaze back at Kurk angrily, "Where was your drop off point with the cash?" I said slightly crushing is leg. Kurk now looks scared but not of me before looking away "I-I don't know, I haven't got a new burner" he answers, 'Little asshole is lying' I move him closer to me "Tell me, where the money was going" I yell slightly angry.
"I-I-I don't know nothing I s-swear to god" gasped a beaten gang member, "Swear to me!" I yell as I drop him off the roof letting him scream. Just narrowly catching him meer millimeters off the ground then drop him, "If I catch you selling again, you disappear" I warn as I fade into the darkness but not before leaving a tracker in his neck. I also steal the Tri-zooka he had and absorb it, 'least I got something good'.

Sitting up on one of the high-rise buildings overlooking the city I have some time to myself before going back to my foster home, "It's been just over two years mom, I miss you" I said talking to myself. Alots happened in these two years for me, I'm basically the getto boogeyman most people talk about me as if I'm a myth. Which is probably the only funny thing in my life at the moment, I'm honestly a bit surprised how far I've come.
Because of my constant attack on the local gangs they somewhat guessed I'm meta, so now they all try get their hands on high-tech weapons to kill me, but as the saying goes 'What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger'. I now have a plethora of weapons ranging from Assault rifles, Sniper Rifles, Machine guns, blades, some prototype energy weapons. . . now even a missile launcher like where do they find this stuff?
Police have been trying to track me down but because I absorbed a Police radio their chatter is always in my head, now I'm always three steps ahead. Recently I've also been exposing myself to Electricity and forcing my body to Regenerate multiple times, I've made a small increase to my Regeneration and resistance 'Hopefully I'll be strong enough, for you mom'.
Jumping off the high-rise building I shift my body to mimic a drone, gliding my way to my foster house. After ten minutes I see my foster house but problem is I notice one of the kitchen lights are still on 'fuck, here we go again', shifting back into my human form I begin walking in through the front door where I'm soon confronted by my Foster father or 'Nick'.
"Where have you been?" he asks aggressively as he walks towards me, I dismiss him and head out towards the stairs "Out" I reply. Annoyed by my answer Nick slams the wall and confronts again me, being only 5'6 at the time I was still a head shorter than Nick. Nick tries to speak "Do you have any idea how worried we are-", "Zip it, your not my family so stop trying to be" I interrupt venomously.
Nick just sighs before letting me go, we have had this passive-aggressive relationship for awhile now. As long as I kept my top-marks and never miss school he majority of the time stays out of my way, which is pretty easy because I'm already at college level. well that's a lie I already have downloaded knowledge of almost every subject slightly above college level. I just want to graduate high school early and leave, hopefully start a tech company with the money locals (gangs) so generously donate (stolen).

8 July 2010
5.45am
The next morning waking up I prepare my standard workout routine while connecting wires to me to pump me full of electricity to increase my resistance to it, so far I've made small progress before touching an electric fence would make my body shake uncontrollably and hurt like hell but now it just hurts mildly and barely makes me shake.
After my small work out I get ready for high-school, yep high-school a twelve almost thirteen years old in high-school and attending as a senior which is funny because I'm smarter than even the professors. Walking down-stairs I run into the rest of the foster-family, Sarah - Nicks wife, George - Foster kid age 15, Hanna - Foster aged 8, there were others but they got lucky and left.
Out of all of them I only talk to Hanna sometimes because she's the least annoying, after having a quick breakfast I head off to school by catching the bus.
-----
After getting out I look at my current school 'Hayward Highschool' it's in New Jersey so it's a bit far, but I like it for its Gateway program with S.T.A.R labs which I get to visit sometimes. Every time I do go I slowly work on introducing myself to their network, S.T.A.R labs keep their serves separate so its hard to hack into.
After my virus gains me control of most of the building I plan to take some of the stuff they have, it's wrong but I'll need it for the war to come. I'm mainly interested in was 'Smartskin' it's a material that bonds to the human collagen in skin making it near indestructible but it's not really safe for 'human' use, it'll be safe for me because I can absorb it. I just hope I dont get silver colored skin like 'Bulleteer', that would suck.
There are two reasons I want 'Smartskin', first is because of its high density appears vastly greater than my own and secondly it has a massive resistance to electricity and magnetism which I'm weak to. I have a plethora of weapons and some recon but not much on mobility or defense, I can still improve alot before this war comes.
--------------------
So what are your guys reactions? I thought it would be funny with a small character like 'Kurk' from marvel (Daredevil & punisher TV series), love some ideas of tech he can steal.
Shout out to TyrantTron335 for his Idea on the Smartskin, thank you. I've always been more of a fan of Marvel but I loved DC for the character development they make so I didn't know much about what tech they had.
