--------------/ ???'s POV /------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darkness.
'What is going on?'
Pain.
'Stop, please, I just want sleep.'
Yelling.
'Who is there?'
"Evacuate the building immediately! Repeat evacuate..."
"No I won't leave this experiment behind!" a man shouted typing away furiously at a control panel
'What's going on?'
"Doctor, leave now!"
Excruciating pain.
"No, it has brainwaves its thinking I need just a little more time."
Pain.
Push, Shove.
'NO!'
More pain.
'Stop!'
"Just a little more!"
'NOOOOO!'
Anger.
Glass Shattering.
--------------/ normal POV /---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glass went flying outward in every direction as the tube shattered the pain that the creature was obviously in ceased as soon as it broke; there sat his creation slumped forward inside what was left of the base of the tube, cables still attached to its body, it's back moved steadily as it took in air it's mouth hung open hacking up blue liquid onto its lap; Its eyes had opened in its fit of anger, revealing large brown eyes.
The doctor who was being dragged away from his creation broke free of the others grasp, and climbed the platform towards it; once he reached it he grabbed the small creature as though it was about to run away
"My child J.2"he said gripping harder as a loud rumble shook the building
'Who are you?' it thought as the building shook, seemingly unaware of what was going on around it as this larger being held onto it. It realized that it felt something a slight tingling feeling it remembered it from before but it didn't know what to call it; it only knew that this other life form felt the opposite and made the other more uncomfortable feeling go away so it shifted its body closer so that its head set next to this 'doctor's' ear before it shut its eyes again this time greeting a more soothing darkness it recognized as sleep.
--------------/ Doctor's POV -------------------------------------------------------------------------
J.2 is finally completed my child, my baby, I just can't bring myself to leave him behind I've worked on many of these creatures but this is the first one the boss has allowed me to work on since it was an egg smaller than a period I designed him in the image of my son and I've become attached to him.
He fell asleep on my shoulder I have to get out of here with him. I lift him into my arms, gently detaching him from the cables still attached to his skin; he is incredibly light just the weight he needs to be. I ran towards the elevator at the other side of the room the guard who had tried to drag me away from J.2 had left already oddly enough the rumbling had stopped the only thing that had happened in this room is that a the power had been knocked out. I hit the button for the elevator only to find it not working I'll just have to take the long way up considering my lab was two stories underground. As I climb I start to notice the smell of smoke
'Fire?' I reach the metal door it wasn't hot signaling a fire so I opened it only to see the blackened ruins of what used to be the main laboratory whatever had happened had ended quickly J.2 suddenly started coughing in my arms. I quickly started searching for a working exit every single one was covered by a sheet of metal I heard something crash only to turn and see another man he looked like a police officer he saw me and yelled
"Freeze!" I already was slightly in shock trying to figure out who this man was
"What are you doing here?!" he shouted raising his gun just in case, not wanting any trouble or harm to befall my J.2, I slowly knelt and laid him on the floor and backed away very slowly before actually turning and running, hoping the officer would follow me. He did thankfully but unfortunately I turned that first corner and he stopped at J.2 who still lay sleeping behind a large chunk of rubble, completely unaware.
--------------/ Normal POV ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The officer saw the child lying among the blackened debris and the first thing he noticed was the kid, male from what he could see, was totally nude he quickly removed his jacket to cover the child as he did he looked in the direction of the man who had run away immediately he started to think of why they would be here. He checked the kid over to see if he had been harmed at all there wasn't a scratch on him his skin looked like a newborn baby's but that didn't necessarily mean nothing happened. He picked the kid up and went back to the place he had come in. As he walked he started to notice that the skin on the kid's back was cool and slippery; as he got into the light he set the child down and turned him over he jumped back when he saw the child's back; it was covered in tiny, round, smooth, black, scales and had what to him looked like long flexible spines protruding from his spine from between a pair of large scaly wings that extended down to his knees. The child also had a small tattoo at the base of his neck that read J.2, and right below it had a capital B.
J.2 started to stir a little first quivering a little before his arms started shifting to pick himself up. The officer watched as the child clumsily sat up facing away from him. The small boy stared around with wide curious brown eyes before he looked at one of his hands before he waved it a little he looked at it as though he'd never seen it before, then he reached up and gently touched the sides of his own face before feeling over the rest of his face and neck. The officer watched amazed as the boy sitting in front of him moved his hand over his face quite suddenly the child moved his head back with a shrill squeak after accidentally poking himself in the eye. J.2 lost balance and started to fall completely backwards but the officer caught him gaining another reaction from him as J.2 stared up into his icy blue eyes something there seemed to trigger something in his heart, fear, J.2 scrambled away from him fear present in his eyes as he turned to look back at a slightly startled life form staring back at him.
"It's okay I won't hurt you" J.2 turned a little more on his knuckles curious again, this new thing had made noise.
"I?" he said pointing at the officer before crawling forward and touching him cautiously and backing away sitting there like a dog
"Seto" he replied pointing to his chest and coming closer the child scooted away again keeping a distance
"it's all right I want to help" he said reaching out to him J.2 stopped moving away and allowed Seto to put his hand on his shoulder the spines on J.2's back laid down against his scales he liked the warmth of Seto's hand he hadn't realized the uncomfortable feeling had come back until then. He got closer and closer until he was right next to him with his shoulder against Seto's chest and his head nuzzled underneath his chin. Seto looked down at the child who was now shivering
"S-Seto" J.2 said, now remembering the name of the feeling
"Cold" he said finally ignoring fear and holding onto Seto's warm body
"J.2 cold" he repeated holding tighter trying to get warmer. Seto smiled slightly he picked J.2 up unable to remove him from his chest he carried him to his car and set him down in the passenger side J.2 looked up at him with big brown eyes as Seto unwrapped his arms from around his chest and closed the door. Seto got in and started his car J.2 jumped and Seto noticed that the kid's giant wings struggled to open themselves against the seat He reached over and laid a hand on his half scaled shoulder to calm him
"It's okay it's only the car" he said reassuringly
"Car?" J.2 responded still shivering. Seto took his foot off the brakes and the car started moving J.2 watched curiously out the window as the trees sped by and the car rumbled down the road the drive was quiet so far until Seto broke the silence
"So, who was that guy who abandon you?" he asked just doing his duty as a police man he didn't really expect an answer but immediately, and he almost didn't catch it, but J.2 answered
"Papa" without blinking or turning away from the window, as they entered the suburbs of Domino city.
"Come again?"
"Papa" he answered again a little slower
"He didn't look much like you" Seto commented J.2 was silent
"Do you have a different name?"
"No" he said he actually sounded slightly sluggish
"Hey are you okay?" Seto asked reaching over and feeling J.2's forehead. J.2's forehead was cold as an ice cube even though he had the heater on in the car
"N-No" he said allowing his body to shiver again. Seto sped up reaching his mansion faster, he got out and took J.2 out of the car the child was almost completely limp in his arms he ran through the gates carrying him. Seto made his way through the door and asked his servants for blankets, lots and lots of blankets he set J.2 down on the couch in the living room as the maid returned with the blankets. Seto wrapped J.2 in every blanket she gave him until all that was showing was the top of his head, his eyes, and his nose
"Feel any better?" he asked sitting next to him
"A little" J.2 said drowsily as his eyes closed, Seto heard a light whistling noise signaling that he was sleeping. Seto picked him up gently and carried him to one of the spare bedrooms. He closed the door quietly as he heard the snoring of little J.2
'maybe I should name him' he thought chuckling to himself as he walked towards the kitchen he plopped down in a chair with a note pad and started mulling over names in his head
'his name now starts with a J so his new name should too, now lets see John, no, James, no...' as he thought up names he wrote them down and crossed out the least likely to be picked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile across the house J.2 was awake and trying to fight his way out of the bundle of blankets another tightened around one of his wings squeezing it painfully the twinge of pain brought him into a stupor he stopped struggling, pulling, and biting long enough for the blankets to loosen and he wriggled out of them slowly.
He sat on all fours, he wasn't feeling much better, but instincts had kicked in and he had panicked. he crawled away from the blankets towards a door he pushed it open only to be hit with a wave of heat as he opened the door to a balcony. J.2 did not crawl away though it felt good in the heat that was radiating off the cement balcony; he crawled out the rest of the way on to it closing the door slightly to keep the cold air from reaching his nice warm area. He collapsed onto the hot cement stomach down and stretched his oversized wings out; his spines stood up as he contentedly rested his head on his arms, a smile played across his face as he fell into a comfortable sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seto finally chose a name for J.2, Joey, when he heard a small thump from above him he stood up and went up stairs quickly, to check on Joey, he opened the door a little bit and peeked in, he came in the rest of the way when he notice the pile of blankets on the floor.
"J.2?" he whispered he noticed the side door open a little letting light into the dark room. Seto knew that was the door to the balcony
"Oh, no" Joey could fall off if he wasn't careful. He opened the door afraid that Joey wasn't there and almost tripped over him he stood back staring at the child in front of him; Joey's wings now spread out looked like they were almost as wide as he was tall, his spines were now standing up straight and his black scales shined in the sunlight. Seto rushed to his side, avoiding his wings, he was about to start checking Joey's head to see if he had not hit his head when he noticed the big smile on his sleeping face. Just then it occurred to him this kid has scales maybe he has a little bit of reptile in him /1/
'No wonder the poor kid was acting lethargic, he needed heat.' Seto thought feeling that the concrete was extremely hot. Seto decided to just let him sleep since he seemed happy and the balcony faced away from the road or anywhere Joey could be seen; Seto left and grabbed a blanket for Joey and slowly shifted him onto it before sitting down in a chair with his newspaper waiting for the scaled child the wake up./2/

Gruzzee: hi guys tell me weather you guys like it or not.
/1/: a lot of you guys probably know this all ready but most reptiles have to lay out in the hot sun for a while when the first wake up to be able to move around the rest of the day the same thing applies slightly to Joey so he's being sluggish because Seto found him right after he was born and he never got heated up like he was supposed to.
/2/: and Seto did give Joey a robe so no he's not sleeping nude
