Well there it is, I have no idea if it is good or not, I just had this random idea and already have a second chapter done so now its science time.
In Membrane Laboratories an experiment was being made, the most ambitious experiment this week, as Professor Membrane would top everything he had made previously in a matter of a few days, he would open the door to another universe creating a bridge across the void beyond this universe and another one, something only SCIENCE would be able to accomplish.
"The experiment is ready Professor" Said one of the other scientists as he inspected the computer.
"Then we will accomplish great science today, turn on the matter bridge!" Professor Membrane exclaimed proudly at his creation, science would advance once more and the world will change, or it will punch a hole in time and space and create a black hole that will annihilate the planet, but science is worth the risk, he pressed the big red button.
The huge ball of metal that was behind several layers of concrete and metal began forming the bridge, slowly it punctured the universe as it searched for a target blindly, it was going close to several universes and bouncing of the ones it could not interact with until it found one, it could barely work there, it couldn't open a portal but it could take something from there and it did.
Inside that universe there was a young man, he was starting college soon, today in fact he was looking for the class DD 202, after entering the second year class by accident he was worried about doing the same mistake again even if no one noticed it, then he noticed something on the bottom of the stairs as he proceeded to try another area of the campus, there was a girl besides him, black hair like him, wearing a blue shirt also staring at the strange lights at the bottom of the stairs, it looked like something out of a sci-fi show ,it flashed and surged forward before he or the girl could react both of them the wall behind them and part of the building was removed from the universe, they wouldn't be the only ones taken however they were the only ones taken whole, as they were brought back to Membrane's universe, the bridge began overheating after some time, slightly almost nothing in the scale of an event that occurred in space but deadly to living creatures, by the time they arrived they were barely alive and most of what was brought with them was burned and, Membrane was disappointed, he expected to open the door to another universe but the instruments seemed to indicate it was not possible. When one of the scientists realized living creatures had come back Doctor Membrane said.
"Just heal those that can be healed, since they don't seem to be humans you can use them as test subjects to your new techniques but remember to not harm them too much, we get more science from a living test subject than from a corpse."
The scientist took the remains of the living and the dead that were taken and started his work, his cloning experiments would be revolutionary but they were not allowed but if he could save them then people would accept its use. He proceeded with the humans, as he later would find out, that were badly burned.
After several hours of intense work the doctor realized they couldn't be saved, their bodies would die…PERFECT. He started his cloning machines and the prototype of the mind transfer device he had made with Doctor Membrane as he took the bodies to special tanks where they would be remade after their minds were safely stored, well as safe as prototypes can be.
"Today I make history, I Doctor Lucius Bernard will be the first to reconstruct a living body and return its mind to it, and I will make history!" He screamed as he extracted the minds of the two and the tanks slowly rebuilt their bodies, the lack of living material cause the machine to return them to a younger age since they had less mass, another thing the Doctor would be celebrated for reversing the aging process, he had theorized that for years but now he had proof it worked on humans, or whatever those things were the machines sparked, the coils in the lab lightened madly as he laughed, he left the tanks to works as the bodies inside were slowly healed even after the mind were contained besides them.
After a few days the bodies inside were very small now, the size o children around 11, the minds were being transferred back to them, it would be some time before they were awaken, however Professor Membrane came personally to see how things were, the preliminary exams on the dead corpses showed they were really humans from another universe, very similar to the humans in this one, except they were not exposed to as much pollution as the humans in this universe had so their brain physiology seemed less damaged, so did their internal organs and muscles. But since they are humans certain laws applied to them so any further experiment was no longer allowed.
"But I have only started to learn what I can do with human bodies, I advanced years trough them!" Lucius said as he received the news.
"Doctor there is always the risk those kinds of experiment could get out of hand and even with all we did if we started experimenting on people without their consent it would be bad for the scientific community, the only reason those primitive beings are not hunting us like witches is because they are too busy with celebrity drama, they must not be aware of what we do otherwise they would riot." Membrane told the doctor, he knew very well most people wouldn't understand what must be done for SCIENCE, after all the sheep was believing in the lies the dead wolves told them generations ago, the last thing they needed was attention from the public, if they did anything the people didn't like they would be history like giving sweets on Valentine's day, it was chanced so long ago most don't remember due to their short memories, Membrane shuddered as he reminded what transpired back then.
"When they are awake inform me I will have to see what they know and create identities for them, they will be… aliens, yes from another country that was destabilized by war and erased, yes no one will contest that." Professor Membrane started mumbling as he left.
The doctor left at the lab was not happy, he learned so much but at least he had the remains of the others to experiment on, human bodies were rarely donated, at least ever since the media told them they would be turned into undead soldiers to take over the world while being in constant agony, it had happened only once and they stopped as soon s they realized the agony the bodies expressed, but the doctor had an idea he could maybe find another universe who knows what he could learn.
Days passed eventually the two were awaken the woke up I hospital gowns they were in the same room, their first reaction to notice they were 11 again was panic, they were older before they were staring college, they didn't knew each other before but they had time to talk now.
"So Julia, what you think is happening? "Markus asked her as he looked up; he had been examining the door it was made of metal the room was white and there was nothing explained anything.
"I don't know all I remember was that thing on the bottom of the stairs, then…" she expressed pain, he could remember that after they were engulfed by the light there was heat and pain.
The door was unlocked, they looked at it worried with what could be entering, when a man with a lab coat, glasses and with a hair that looked like a scythe entered they were surprised.
"Oh you are up; good I have good news and bad news for you." The man said cheerfully.
They were quiet; the man was too, after some moments he continued.
"Well I assume you understand what I am saying, the bad news are that you were brought here by and experiment to connect this world to another one in another universe and there is no way back as your universe has different laws when it comes to this technology we made, and also your bodies were severely damaged and burned while you were transported here, your bodies even died but we were able to rebuilt the with experimental procedures, since most of your bodies were damaged you had to be reconstructed as 11 year olds because there was not enough of you to return you to your previous age."
The two were alarmed, that story was crazy but it made some sense, how else they would be 11 again.
"So we are stranded in another world away from everyone and everything we know, tell me what is the good news." Julia said getting angry at his story.
"You are no longer going to be test subjects since we now know for sure you are human and you will be compensated by helping the advancement of Science" Membrane exclaimed loudly and proud, and serious it seemed.
The two were still very much alarmed, they were silent for some moments before Membrane received a call and excused himself to answer it, Julia was the first to speak:
"He can't be serous can he?" She said as she thought more about what the mad scientist said.
"I think he might be telling the truth, haven't you noticed the world looks different, colors are more simple, shapes are weird, I thought it was because of my glasses but I don't have them anymore and I can see perfectly," he stopped talking as he looked at his hand" Everything here is different."
"But he said he kidnapped us from our universe or something, and was happy about it, and they used us like lab rats!" Julia was angry at that, what else they had done to them?
"He said we were no longer going to be and they are going to pay us" Markus said as he tried to not think about what they might had done to them.
"Even if we get millions it will not matter we are children now!"Julia screamed at him.
"…crap!" he only now realized that.
The doctor entered soon and they already knew what to ask now.
"Apparently there was an accident with the Matter Bridge and it seemed to bring an otherworldly monstrosity here, the military will deal with it soon but we should leave now." The doctor said as if it was normal.
Well there goes the chance of asking him questions. They walked out, they could hear loud screams from an inhuman creature and agony screams of humans, and soon they arrived outside and could look at the huge lab and the tentacles that were going through the roof.
"Get in the car children, when the military arrive here there will not be much of anything left." Membrane said as he pointed to a car, as they entered they could see the lab being destroyed by the beast.
They soon drove away from there, after a few minutes of silence loud explosions send shockwaves and a loud screech indicated the battle had begun.
"So how that happened?" Markus asked Membrane.
"A Scientist must have thought he could impress me by fixing the machine and open the portal to another universe, it must not have worked and brought that creature, a guard warned me before he was also eaten by the creature." Membrane answered as if it was just a daily thing.
"What will happen to us now?" Julia asked now, she wanted to know how they would live from now on.
"I will drop you two in a hotel, tomorrow I will pick you up so we can make it official." Doctor Membrane answered her.
"Make what official?" She asked already having an idea of what will happen.
"The adoption paper of course." Membrane told her still cheerful, despite the screams of the creature slowly being destroyed by the military.
