A/N: If you're wondering why I have two of the chapters up it's because I lost internet for a couple weeks and during my spare time I wrote up a new story.
I got this idea from same video, as a matter a fact, the whole story is inspired by the video. But most of this chapter is inspired by the super hero Flash (obviously) from justice league episode: A better World.
PROJECT B: BREE (One year later)
"Here we go again." Mr. Davenport said leaning back in his chair, looking at the screen of his second petri dish super-embryo. Though, it was a fast wriggler. That was one thing he noticed so far. He wondered if wriggling fast was normal for it. Project A never even wriggled that fast. Eddie then appeared on a screen beside Project B's screen.
"Uhh… is this kid having a panic attack?" Eddie asked.
"No, the embryo's fine. It probably just likes moving faster than normal." Davenport said.
"You might wanna right down speedster as a potential power for this one." Eddie said.
"Already did." Davenport said completely relaxed until realization dawned on him. "Eddie, weren't you supposed to be entertaining Adam?" Davenport looked over at the one year old boy.
"Ta-bot?" Little Adam said confusedly touching the screen, empty of any face.
"Well I was…" Eddie began, "but then the kid started banging on my screen and you know the kid has super strength!" Eddie whined. Davenport glared at Eddie.
"Hey Adam!" Davenport called. Adam turned his attention to Mr. Davenport.
"You wanna come see the bot?" Davenport asked. Adam gave him an open wide smile and nodded.
"Oh sure call me the 'bot' too huh?" Eddie said annoyed at Mr. Davenport. Adam got himself up and started walking over to Mr. Davenport. Davenport held his hands out for Adam as soon as he got close enough to get lifted up. He sat Adam down on his lap.
"Ta-bot!" Adam cheered pointing at Eddie's screen.
"Actually kid it's Eddie. Learn it will ya?" Eddie said bitterly.
"Da-da, bot!" Adam said as if explaining to Mr. Davenport what Eddie is.
"Aw, that's cute Adam's calling you da-da." Eddie mocked.
"I'm pretty sure the kid's trying to say Dav-enport. It's a pretty hard word for a one year old to say you know." Davenport said.
"Yeah sure." Eddie said sarcastically. "First you name Project A, and now he's calling you da-da. Don't you think that'll make the separation difficult when he and Project B are relocated after they complete their training?"
"Completing their training won't be for a long while. Besides I'd probably go crazy having to call the kid Project A everyday. It's much easier calling him Adam. And who says I'm going to stop at Project B?" Davenport said
"Da-da?" Adam said pointing at the screen showing Project B.
"Yeah that's right Adam. This is Project B, your new brother, or sister. We'll find out in a couple months." Davenport said.
"Pah-beee?" Adam asked.
"Project B." Davenport said.
Pah-B!" Adam said excitedly.
"Shh! Adam you might scare it." Davenport said.
"Ohh. Pah-B." Adam whispered putting a finger to his mouth. Davenport nodded.
"Hey listen Adam, why don't you, head on over and go play with your… toys." Davenport said before saying equipment. Adam nodded and jumped down from Davenport's lap and raced over to his toys.
Davenport directed his attention back to Project B, who continued its wriggling for several more hours.
After a few more hours, all of a sudden the tiny embryo jolted! Davenport's eyes widened at the jolt. He sat right up and stared at the screen in shock. After several intense moments, the embryo stopped moving. Davenport's breath hitched to a stop as he saw the tiny being float around in the petri dish screen without movement. It was then he heard the loud BEEEEP! Coming from the pulse monitor. The tiny embryo's heart… had stopped beating.
The embryo was in a petri dish so that meant Davenport could still save it. He quickly pulled out several syringes and started injecting the embryo with it.
"Please live! Please live!" Davenport pleaded as he continuously injected thee poor lifeless embryo. After injecting it with enough of the syringes' solutions Davenport looked up at the screen. After one long tense moment, Project B continued its wriggling. The heart monitor continued its pulse's steady pattern. Davenport let out a breath of relief.
"Speedster… definitely." Davenport said under his breath, then placing his palms on his head while looking down to face the ground. All the while thinking of that terrible sound the monitor made when Project B's hearts stopped.
"I almost lost a child." Davenport thought to himself, his breath coming out shaky. The thought continued whirling in his mind.
Eddie appeared on the second screen.
"Hey, what just happened?" Eddie asked.
Davenport took a moment to unmovingly compose himself. He wasn't about tell Eddie Project B's hearts stopped.
He then looked up at Eddie. "Speedster… definitely a speedster."
"How'd you manage to conclude that?" Eddie asked confusedly.
"It managed to speed up its heart beat." Davenport said not wanting to give Eddie the full details.
Eddie didn't say anything for a moment until finally saying, "Its heart stopped didn't it?"
"How do you know that?" Davenport asked.
"You wouldn't have been acting the way you did if it didn't. Davenport glanced down. Then looked up at the embryo screen. The little embryo continued its wriggling. But it remind in one position.
Davenport found this a little strange as he stared at the screen. He then noticed its forming face on the screen. Davenport zoomed in on its face and noticed it wriggling but not moving around. It looked as though it was thanking him for a moment there. It then began its movement once again around the petri dish. Davenport stared at the screen in slight shock until finally zooming out to get the full picture of the embryo's wriggling.
Months later:
Davenport looked up at the developing fetus in the tube filled with water. Adam walked up to Davenport and tugged on his labcoat. Davenport looked down at Adam. Adam pointed at the fetus.
"Es-shu-beh-by[1]?" Adam asked while pointing up at the fetus.
"Yes Adam she's a baby. In a couple weeks you'll have a new little sister." Before Adam could respond Eddie appeared on a nearby screen.
"WHAT! It's gonna be a girl? Man she's gonna be a nightmare!" Eddie said shocked and angry.
"Hey, I don't choose how the kid comes out to be. So you'll have to deal with her Eddie." Without another word Eddie shut himself off.
Davenport glared at the turned off screen then felt another tug on his coat.
"Yes Adam?" Davenport asked looking down.
"Name?" Adam asked.
"What will her name be?" Davenport asked Adam. Adam nodded. Davenport placed the eraser of his pencil to his mouth in thought.
"Hmm… I was thinking Bree. How do you like that?" Davenport asked. Adam nodded excitedly.
"Bwee! Bwee! Bwee!" Adam cheered arms up and jumping.
"Bree it is." Davenport said smiling. He then continued his work while keeping a close check on Bree's heart rate. Hoping against hope t, a similar incident would never happen again.
