Atlantic Ocean, 200ft below sea level.
The craft docked at the colossal structure covered in water. The mercenary stepped out. A man was waiting for him.
"Trask, you're so kind to meet me here." The man put his hand out, the merc took it.
"Actually, I have I meeting with the leader of the friends of humanity, so I won't be here for a few days. Therefore I am leaving the operation in the hopefully capable hands of one of my assistants." He glared at the two young people behind him.
The merc pointed at the two people behind Trask and ordered them into the submersible. "I have something for you that you might want." He turned around as a trolley was wheeled out with a rather small teen girl strapped down with duct tape over her mouth.
"I-is that..."
"X-23." The mercenary confirmed, "The only successful clone of the original weapon-X. And she's yours for 10 billion."
"Deal. Her DNA will work I'm sure of it" Trask said excitedly. He calmed down, "then again we should still test it." He pointed at the assistants, "Take her to the central operating room, merc you go with them. I have to go." The merc nodded. Trask made to get in the vehicle, "Your money should be in the same room , I'll pay you for the girl when I get back, meanwhile as a bonus you can also have her afterwards, so long as we have unlimited access to her DNA if it works. And merc." The man turned, "why the duct tape?"
The merc smiled, "You won't believe the mouth on her Trask. She could give South Park a run for its money."
Trask laughed, and stepped into the submersible. The sub ejected from the underwater base and proceeded towards America.
The merc walked alongside the trolley carrying the young girl. He grinned down at her. "Your mine now girly. And you know what I'm gonna do when we're alone later." Her eyes widened. He laughed "You got it in one."
They entered a large room with lots of scientist inside running around. There was a bed in the centre with an unconscious boy on it. The lead scientist saw the mercenary and walked towards him.
"Hello merc, do you have the DNA of the mutant colossus, for us?"
"Do I ever fail?" the merc smiled as he drew a vial of blood out of his coat pocket. "Trask also wants you to take that one's DNA." He said pointing over his shoulder at X-23 who was desperately trying to escape from the bed. He walked over to a table with a bundle of money on it and proceeded to count it. "So what do you do with the DNA then?"
"We implant it in this boy over here." The scientist nodded at the unconscious boy in the middle of the room. The merc looked uneasy as the scientist filled a syringe with the blood from the vial, "don't worry, he is technically dead." Seeing the mercs confused look, "You see whilst he is alive he has been unconscious all his life, we will awaken him when we develop a way to control him. We don't want him to slaughter us all." He turned back to the blood. "Now if this bonds successfully with Cyber's blood, and then works successfully we should be able to produce soldiers who can generate adamantium skin at will." He put some of the blood under a microscope.
"Well." The merc said without looking up.
"Stage one is successful." The scientist said. "Now to try stage two." With that he walked over to the prone boy. He pushed the needle into the boy's neck.
"How will you know if it works?" the merc asked interested.
"We give him a little electric shock and see if anything happens." And with that he gave the boy an electric shock. The merc stopped counting his money to watch. All of a sudden the boy's skin changed from flesh to metal and back again.
"Cool." The merc said before going back to his money. After a couple of minutes he put the money in his coat pocket, satisfied. "So now you know it works what now?"
"Now we replicate it and implant it in other humans. But first I want to try hers." He said motioning at X-23, who had given up straining against her bonds.
"What do you mean implant it in other humans?"
The scientist looked surprised. "Trask didn't tell you. This is a human. Well not any more. He was born of a mutant, but wasn't one himself." He drew blood from the girl and transferred it into the boy. He walked over to a table and picked up a rather large knife.
"You get that from Friday the thirteenth or something?" the scientist smiled before proceeding to draw the line along the boys arm making a very deep cut. "And what's that supposed to do?"
The scientist looked at him, "It's a healing factor. How else would we test it." He looked at the wound which had just started to heal slowly. "It works." He said, and turned away.
The mercenary, however, stayed. Something had caught his attention but he couldn't tell what it was. He shrugged and turned away.
"Hey, doc." The merc said out loud. The scientist turned, "How many different mutant DNA's have you implanted in him?"
The scientist thought, "About 250. Why?"
"How many worked?"
"About 200." The scientist replied, "Why?"
"I was just wondering how many different ways he could kill you when he wakes up."
One of the female assistants spoke up, "Well some of them are defensive powers, but there are also the adamantium spikes that we tried."
"Spikes?"
"Yes." The assistant walked up the boy, "Without a working healing factor we couldn't bond adamantium to his bones, without killing him in the process. So we tried implanting spikes instead, but without a healing factor they are only to be used as a last resort, otherwise the soldiers would bleed to death." The assistant stroked the boy's face. "But now we have a working healing factor that works, they can use them all the time."
"Interesting." The merc said with a yawn. "But as much as it is, I'm tired. So I think me and my new toy," he said looking at X-23, "will be off." He walked towards the door. "Would you be so kind as to bring her." He said looking at one of the assistants.
What is this? Were the first thoughts inside the head of the boy. This is new. He opened his eyes, and immediately shut them again. PAIN! Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain. I know of that. I can feel that everywhere. He opened his eyes again, someone was looking at him. He shut his eyes again, the light was still too bright.
"Hey, doc. How many different mutant DNA's have you implanted in him?"
"About 250. Why?"
"How many worked?"
"About 200. Why?"
200? I have 200 DNA's inside of me. Wait what is a DNA? He listened again.
"I'm tired. So I think me and my new toy, will be off. Would you be so kind as to bring her." He heard footsteps and a trolley rolling away from him and, a moment later, the slam of a door.
"I want to test the extent of the healing factor."
"What?"
"We know that he can heal from cuts, I want to see how much damage is too much damage to heal for him."
"Well be careful Trask won't like it if you inadvertently kill him."
"I know, I know."
What are they planning to-"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!" He screamed as his body started burning.
I don't like that mercenary, thought the assistant as she returned to the lab after escorting him to his room with the girl bound to the trolley. Why would daddy hire him the other merc's were better than this one. This one asks too many questions, he could be a spy from a rival experimentation facility. The scientists wouldn't like that. I'll have to keep an eye on him. And he's a paedophile, I mean I know that the girl is a mutant, but she's only thirteen at least. That's just wrong.
She got to the door of the lab she had been working in was just about to push the door open when she heard screams from inside. Don't go in, said a male sounding voice in her head. Curiosity killed the cat, remember. Another male voice spoke up.
Yes but satisfaction brought him back. Anyway we know you're going to go in there, you're a woman, it's in your nature. Remember when you and your parents were staying in that hotel and there was a sign saying do not disturb on the door. What did you do? That's right you went in. you walked in on your parents…doing things with the old couple next door.
Well how the hell was she supposed to know they were having dinner? I mean come on how many people do that with people they met five minutes ago. The other voice said again.
That's not the point; they could have been doing something else with that couple and you know it.
"O.k. I think I may be spending too much time with Dr. Emline. I'm starting to hear imaginary voices arguing in my head again." She laughed to herself as she opened the door. The laugh quickly turned to a scream as she saw the bodies of the scientists in the room, and a flaming body roaring as it charged into her, slamming her against the wall a couple of meters behind her, crushing her own body in the process. Her last thing she heard as she sank into oblivion was the first male voice in her head before she went into the room. Told you so Sylvie. It simply said.
The mercenary locked the door as the scientist left, leaving him and the girl alone. He smiled at her as he went to the mini fridge and got a bottle of beer.
"Cheers," he said to her as he took a swig from it. He put down the beer and picked up a bread knife from a rack next to the fridge and walked towards her. "Not struggling anymore," he pouted. "I heard that you never gave up X." her eyes narrowed at him and he smiled. "That's better isn't it he said." Suddenly he cut her top open, not caring about the cuts he made on her skin. He smiled as she suddenly tried lunging for him, tears of pain and humiliation in her eyes but the straps held her. "I'm going to have a quick shower," he said turning to the bathroom. "Don't go anywhere, now" he laughed. He stopped at the door to the bathroom as the sound of screams and gunfire from outside filled the room.
"What the hell's going on out there?" he murmured to himself, as he walked to the door. He was just about to open it when it exploded inwards and something heavy hit him full force sending him flying through the air into a wall.
"Owww…" he groaned. His eyes went wide as a naked boy walked into the room. Burn marks covering most of his body. Whilst most of them were healing, there were a few that wouldn't. He picked up the soldier at his feet and threw him into the trolley with X-23 on it. He then turned his eyes on the mercenary.
X-23 was not happy. The perverted man had cut off her only top. And to top it off the boy who now shared her DNA had just thrown a dead soldier into her. Not that she could blame him. When she escaped from HYDRA a year ago she killed everyone there. Including her mother. But that was an accident. She looked at her hand bound to the trolley. Damn if only she had this hand free then she could teach that bastard merc a thing or two. Hello. She thought as she spotted a certain bread knife next to her hand. That'll work. She reached for it only just managing to get it. Flipping it around in her hand she started sawing at the bond on her wrist. Ouch. She thought as she cut her wrist. That was quicker than I thought it would be. She dropped the knife and unsheathed her claws, using them to cut the remaining bonds. Standing up she tore the tape from her mouth, and turned to face the mercenary. Who was now trapped between her and the boy.
They both lunged towards him and he screamed. She smiled as her claws plunged into him. Revenge is sweet.
(2 weeks later)
Sinister smiled as he followed the boy with his eyes. He and Xavier had been looking for him ever since he immerged. The boy was extremely powerful. His origins were similar to his. They were both humans who had mutants DNA implanted in them. The only difference was that this boy had no choice in the matter.
He looked at the man standing next to him, "It's time." The man nodded. They both stepped out in front of the boy, who immediately shifted his skin into Adamantium, and protruded a lot of spikes.
"Relax please, we do not wish to harm you. Instead we have an offer." Sinister said. The boy didn't respond. "I know what you have been through, I have been trough it myself." The boys spikes receded slightly, "If you come with me I can keep you safe from the people who are chasing you, the X-men for example consider you a threat and will stop at nothing to kill you. However if you come with us we can keep you safe from them and help you get revenge on those who did this to you." The boy paused for a minute whilst he contemplated the strange grey mans offer, then slowly nodded. "Excellent." Sinister grinned malevolently. "Then follow me my Hybrid."
Well there is the first origin please R&R. i know that the chapter with the assistant may have ben sexist but it was all in fun. please don't burn me at the stake. next one should be coming soon. bye.
