Welcome to my new fanfic! *fanfare* A random plot bunny came into being in my mind about a month ago and gradually morphed into this story. Hope you like it :)

The Mean Green Teen Machine
When Pike attempts to transfer Ms Leon's consciousness back into her proper human body, he has no idea just how wrong it was going to go.
Ms Leon perched on the table and eyed the machine with a slightly worried glance.
Nero stared at it in disbelief.
Raven hovered in the shadows, no-one could tell how she viewed the machine as her face was covered in a black mask.
Professor Pike stood next to it looking inordinately pleased, 'Well, what do you think?'
Nero and Ms Leon exchanged a brief glance, 'It's green,' Nero said eventually looking bemused.
Pike stared at the machine as if noticing this for the first time (which was quite likely), 'What's wrong with that?' he asked looking puzzled.
'Nothing,' sighed Ms Leon, 'Apart from the fact I can't help wondering if there will be an unfortunate side affect like last time,' she un-sheathed a paw of razor-sharp needles and slowly ran them along the desktop, all the time staring hard at the Professor.
The old man swallowed nervously, 'I'm sure it will work perfectly this time.'
Ms Leon's eye's narrowed, 'It had better.'
Nero sensed an argument building up and quickly cut in, 'You may begin the consciousness transfer when you are ready Professor.'
Pike nodded and moved over to a nearby computer workstation and typed in a long stream of commands that Nero didn't even bother trying to follow, the machine hummed and started to glow, green.
Nero clenched his teeth, he hated the colour green.
'If you could enter the second chamber Ms Leon!' shouted Pike over the noise of the machine and computers now combined with sloshing of the coolant mixture which had been installed in a series of pipes around the room to keep the electronics from overheating.
Nero watched as the stealth and evasion teacher leaped lightly from the desk and casually strolled over to a chamber. There were two glass structures which were connected to one another with a series of tubes and wires, in the first chamber was Ms Leon's human body, put under sedative.
Understandably, Ms Leon had been a little nervous when it had been taken out of cryogenic storage and transported to this room but thankfully her human body was now here in one piece.
The humming of the machines increased in intensity as the two glass doors slid shut behind Ms Leon, setting Nero's teeth on edge.
'Now if I could have you're authorisation code Dr. Nero,' yelled Pike from the computer terminal, 'We can move on with this transfer!'
Nero nodded and walked over to his old friend, quickly typing in the needed code before moving to the side to allow Pike to finish off the necessary programming.
The man paused for a moment before typing in the final command. He looked to the head teacher of HIVE, 'Shall I?'
Nero nodded, 'Proceed with the transfer if you please.'
Pike hit the last few buttons and both waited, staring alternatively from the machine to the several computer screens positioned on the worktop.
Nero fought with the urge to place both hands over his ears as the humming grew louder, 'It's working!' yelled Pike, his voice faint over the growing noise.
Nero jumped a little as Raven peered over his shoulder to examine the computer screens with interest before looking at the machine. She frowned a little; Nero turned to her and mouthed, 'What is it?'
The assassin shrugged but still looked uneasy.
Nero started to feel a little uncomfortable but everything seemed to be working smoothly.
'The transfer is complete!' shouted Pike looking delighted, gradually the noise of the machines died down until the noise was bearable.
Nero squinted at the two glass chambers but they had become steamed up and he was unable to see through them.
Several medics entered through the door and at Pike's nod hurried over to the machine.
Nero turned as Colonel Francisco and the Contessa walked into the room, he automatic doors hissing shut behind them 'Is it done?' asked Francisco.
'Yes,' smiled Pike, his smile suddenly faded as a high-pitched beeping emitted from one of the computers.
'What is it?' asked Nero feeling worried.
'I think th-'
Pike's words were cut off adruptedly as a massive bangechoed from the machine.
The last though Nero had before crumpling to the floor unconscious was that he was going to throttle Pike for this.
Bet you can guess what happens next...XD
