David John Ironhorse is acquired by Infinity Inc and becomes Puma, a Hybrid Alpha Series Minion.
David John Ironhorse, age 16, already lives the life of a thug in a smuggling gang. He's a smart young Shoshone, hampered - but also fueled - by his rage at how his mother (Sara Kimi Ironhorse) was ignored by everyone who should have helped them.
Until he met a strange, soft-spoken, elderly man in a white suit.
He said he was a doctor, specifically Dr. Simon Arkangel, and could use some help: a good, strong right arm to help him with a very important project. He told David that of all the candidates, only he was right for this job. The young man would get to travel, experience the world, and could leave all of this behind.
David, who quietly did dream of a better life and seeing the world, agreed to the man’s terms. He also needed the money, his gang of gun smugglers was pulling down some money from their operations, but the jobs were getting tougher, and they were poorly equipped. It was a job, even if it sounded like he would be just another thug. He was ok with that.
In the United States, that very day, the rest of his smuggling gang was caught in a crossfire. The authorities said it was two rival cartels and the smugglers were in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, which two cartels were never proven.
Meanwhile, David woke up strapped to a medical gurney in a very weird looking combination of a high-tech operating theatre and a Hollywood-fancy laboratory. This was NOT what he had signed up for! But no one cared. No one even acted like he could talk.
Tales of Justice is a work of pure, unabashed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather heroic and quite proud of itself. Names of characters, places, events, organizations, and locations are creations of the author's imagination for this fictitious setting. Some have been inspired by other sources, which will be credited at the top right of the article.
