A/N: Yaaaay I came up with an idea I like! It's probably been beaten to death but why the hell not? This is Goku/Videl again (sorry to my Gh/V fans- I'm not really interested in that pairing ATM) BUT I might do a Gohan/Videl/Goku love triangle. Not sure yet as this is still in the infancy. I don't want to give away too much. There will be more action in this as opposed to angst or whatever. Videl's gonna kick some ass. This is really short just so it can get the cogs in your minds turning.

Warnings: A/U, perhaps some non-con because it's my favorite, couple of lemons, and some OOCness.

Pairings: Goku/Videl, otherwise all canon. Maybe a love triangle. Or rectangle. Or pentagon.

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z or anything affiliated with it.

1: Reflections

It wasn't supposed to happen to me.

Raw, animalistic power surged through my veins and for the first time in my life, I felt alive. The countless narrow escapes during the battle with Majin Buu felt like child's play compared to the potent concoction racing through my sinew and flesh, empowering me with a gift no other human would ever understand. My DNA was rewriting itself; a feat that went against all the lessons science had taught us. But nothing was impossible with a little ingenuity and of course, money.

They had chosen me for my strong human attributes, along with my gender. I was the perfect candidate for their experiment and only slightly hesitant to recombine the very structure of my existence. It only took some cajoling and carefully selected words to get me in the lab on a chair. She had a long, sharp needle that injected a thick, bluish substance directly into my elbow. After, they quickly moved me to a resuscitation chamber so I wouldn't die during the conversion. It was a strong possibility.

But they hadn't wanted me in particular. I was readily available and I knew their secrets. It was the most convenient option at the time. As I hovered half-awake in thick, green water, feeling my body changing at its core, I began to wonder if I had made the right choice.
