Disclaimer: *Ahem* Um yeah so I really think that if y'all believe I own Young Justice, you might need a doctor.

A/N: Alright so I dedicate this chapter to all my lovely slices who have read my story! Oh and special note for KittyKat200 (And for anyone else I may have confuzzled) Wally's wolf form and Tatem both walk on all fours but since they are half animal half human they do have the ability to stand on their hind legs and use their front paws like a primitive hand. But they're mainly a quadruped, I just wanted to clear that up before you guys started the chapter :)


Chapter 24: Uncontrollable

After Alex had left, Wally couldn't stop moving. He tried to lay down but it felt so strange, his large body making it awkward for him to find a comfortable position. Instead, he was reduced to pacing the length of the room he was in. More like cell…

Sighing he looks around. How did I end up in this mess? For lack of anything better to do, he lifts his head trying to test out some of his new senses; sniffing the air he picks up a multitude of smells. The first thing being Alex even though he had left over an hour ago and with a few more deep breaths, he could also make out the faint smells of what he assumed were Tatem and Alwin.

At the thought of the doctor a low growl rumbles through his teeth; All of the anger that been growing inside him came bubbling to the surface. How could someone do this to another person? And not just a stranger but their own son too! Alex had told him all about how Alwin did it and what he had planned for them.

His thought's drift towards the team. I wonder what they're doing, maybe they're looking for me? He continues his pacing while he thinks. As much as I want out of here, I'm not sure if I want them to find me… He still couldn't shake his insecurity. The previous doubt Tatem had planted was still strong even though Alex had explained it was just a ploy Alwin was using to try and separate him from his friends.

Unfortunately his mind isn't done torturing him yet as it strays over to his Uncle and a sharp ache shoots through his heart. I know he cares for me, but I wonder how he would react if he saw me like this? Glancing towards the glass, he studies his reflection. Would he reject me? He doesn't know how he's going to face the one person he looks up to the most as an animal...

A sudden bout of tiredness has Wally leaning against the wall for support before slowly sliding onto the floor. He can feel that familiar sting tickle his eyes and a small laugh escapes his giant mouth. I didn't even think I could cry in this form. Isn't that a great surprise? As he lays there, his exhaustion finally wins out and his eyes ease shut letting him drift into a fitful sleep.


Colburn walked down the hall towards the labs hoping to get some research done while Alwin was out. Reaching the door, he eases it open and briskly walks into the large room cluttered with various science gadgets and papers.

Quickly glancing around, he trudges over to his desk on the far side of the room and sits down in the chair with a heavy sigh. Rubbing his face he looks at the time. Ugh, it's already 3:30 in the morning!? God, how does time move so fast?

He rakes his fingers through his hair as he contemplates what to do. I really should do some work but I'm so damn tired! I was up all last night with Alwin making preparation for the kid and now I've been up talking with him… I'm about ready to drop dead! His eye lids felt heavy but he shakes his head hoping to chase some of the sleepiness away.

Working on his formula has been pain staking; it's taken him months just to get as far as he had and it wasn't as far as he'd hoped. If only I had some help, then maybe I would actually have something of use. Sighing he shuffles the papers on his desk.

He can't help but think of the young kid. I can't help but feel responsible for what's happened. I let that creep do this to him just so I could help Tate… how selfish can someone get!? I can just imagine what his friends will do to me when they find him. Suddenly his eyes go wide, tiredness forgotten. That's it!

He shoots up from his seat. How could I have been so dense!? Frantically he begins looking for his coat. His friends aren't normal people, they're superheroes! If I can somehow get them a copy of this research and my notes, maybe just maybe they could finish the cure! He starts gathering all of the required information he downloads it onto a spare flash drive.

Now would be my only time to get out of here with it, but… I can't just leave. Looking around he sighs. If I went missing, Alwin might think somethings up and he might move the entire project somewhere else… There has to be a way.

Racking his brain he tries to come up with a plan. I'm sure they're searching for him by now, they've probably even split up which makes my chances of find one of them easier. Hardening his resolve, he starts moving towards the door. I'll just have to take my chances and pray that luck's on my side.

Reaching out to open the door he nearly has a heart attack when It slides open of it's own accord and standing in front of him was Doctor Alwin. "Colburn? What are you doing here so late?" He sees a twisted smile from on the doctors features. "Did I scare you?"

Alwin pushes past him as he desperately searches for an excuse. "Oh, um no sir, but I'm here because Subject #6 was a little harder to handle than I anticipated." He didn't like using the boy as an excuse but for lack of anything better he had to.

Chuckling the old man turns. "Hmm, I see. Well I'm glad he's up for a fight cause since I'm back so early, I was hoping for a little entertainment…" Oh no… Colburn mentally cringes. This isn't good.

Clearing his throat, he starts. "Well what did you have in mind, sir?" He hope that what ever the doctor had planned, he could hopefully delay.

But judging by the look plastered on the mans features while he gathers some vials, it seemed very unlikely that he could deter the lowlife. "Oh nothing you need to be here for, since you're all packed up and ready why don't you just run along." Picking up the last of the things he walks past the young man. "That wasn't a suggestion."

He watches the retreating back skulk from the room. Damn it! Swiftly he leaves. I have to hurry!


Alwin tried knew something was up with his assistant by the way he reacted when he opened the door. But to be honest when isn't my assistant a skittish idiot? I swear that boy is going to do something that he won't be able to talk his way out of…

Though he wont let that blithering idiot interrupt his good mood, looking down at the vials held in his arms he smiles. Mmm, Six should really enjoy this. Chuckling to himself he makes his way down towards one of the examination rooms and pulls out his cell phone.

Dialing a familiar number, he doesn't wait for an introduction before he starts. "Get Subject #6 down to room 302. We have a few tests to run…" The words slide off his tongue, betraying his excitement at the prospect.

Hanging up when he reaches the room he steps inside. While I'm waiting, I'll make sure Six will be… comfortable when he arrives.


Hanging up his phone, Darren groans. Damn that Alwin… He was supposed to be gone till tomorrow. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he glances to his men. "Alrighty, boys. That was the big bad boss calling. He says we got to move the new flee bag to room 302."

The unanimous groans signaled the groups annoyance. "It's four in the freaking morning!? I thought that lunatic was off at one of the other buildings?" Darren looks at his outraged second in command.

A ferocious look passes across his features. "Yeah, well he's apparently back sooner than anticipated. It's not our job to keep his schedule in check; but it is our job to follow orders." His tone left no room for arguments as he stands to leave, the others quickly following suit.

Efficiently the men gather their equipment and start out the door heading towards the room holding the animal. Darren turns towards the others. "So you guys know the drill; We incapacitate the subject, then secure it. Now from what I've been told, this things smaller than the other one but it's more muscular, so be careful."

The group of men share a quick glance before Darren starts undoing the locks, silently opening the door revealing the cinnamon colored creature lying against the wall. As soon as the men enter the room they see the beast raise it's head but before he can process what's going on, a small click of a button resounds through the room.


Wally heard a noise but was too groggy to realize what it was. It didn't matter though as a fierce pain tears through his body causing his muscles to seize and a strangled howl to explode from his mouth.

It felt like a lifetime before the electricity finally ceased and his body slumps forward, dazed. He barely registers as something slips over his mouth in tandem with four harsh clanks of metal snapping around his limbs. What…?

He tries to move but a deep baritone voice stops him. "Don't even think about it mutt." It's those same men from the woods, but what are they doing here? Suddenly he's hoisted up and shakily standing he tries to blink the haze from his vision.

A sharp tug on the restraints has him stumbling forwards but the cuffs on his legs prevented him from catching himself, and somehow he ended up on the floor. A round of laughter echoes around him. "Stupid animal." A sharp kick to his ribs sends a low growl emanating through his throat. Who does this guy think he is!?

But before he could act, the all too familiar silken tone resounds through his head. Don't do anything you'll regret. His heart beat faster with every word.

Tatem!? I thought you were still on lock down? He didn;t know why the creature was contacting him, though he was still happy about it!

However when the voice filters through again, the soft edge was replaced by urgency. Alex is making a move and we have to get out of here now! Everything was happening so fast, he wasn't sure what he could do. Do you think you can vibrate through your restraints?

His thoughts are interrupted buy one of the men. "Hey, what's taking so long? We don't have all day!" Another tap with the man's boot causes a low growl to escape his maw. "Oh you think your a tough guy, huh?" The man brings out the small remote again.

Quickly Wally makes up his mind. I guess we'll just have to see. Suddenly using the little bit of energy he had left, Wally's large body began to blur as his molecules started shifting at an increasing rate. Soon enough, the heard the telltale snaps as the restraints weak points gave way to the increasing abuse.

In a matter of seconds, he was free of everything but the collar. Winded from the exertion, he slowly starts to stand. Hmm, I couldn't go as fast as normal but that's either due to my new size or my lack of energy. Hopefully the latter…

Looking at the men scattering around the room, Wally spots the one with the remote and a low growl vibrates in the air. He's suddenly consumed with anger and barring his teeth he starts making his way towards the man. "Easy now big fella, don't do anything stupid." That causes a sudden snarl to tear through his throat.

He could feel the rage building with every step and his eyes lock on to the mans vulnerable neck. Don't let your instincts control you. Think! Come find me so we can get out of here.

Tatem's voice was enough for him to realize what he was doing. Shaking his head he looks to the still open door, then with an impressive leap, he bounds straight over the man's head and out into the corridor.


After he had finished prepping the room, Alwin had waited for several minutes before starting to become impatient. Abruptly he went to go check on what was taking those idiots so long, but what he found was a bunch of incompetent fools staggering around an empty cell!

NO! Fury was consuming his entire being. They had let Six escape! He wanted to strangle each and everyone of them but that would have to wait. Sprinting from the room he had a pretty good idea of where he was going to find the creature.


Tatem stood waiting in his dark concrete cell for his companion. Just a little while ago, Alex had informed him that he planned to go to the child's friends for help in developing his cure but he knew that when he left that bastard would know he betrayed him.

So he had told Alex to just get what he needed and that he would somehow manage to get the boy and himself out to safety and that they could meet up later. Currently he was listening to the child's thoughts. Alright I think I've found you.There was a few seconds of silence before he speaks again. There's no way for me to open it… Um, hold on; I'm going to try and see if I can't make the door explode.

Tatem's eyes go wide. Wait, what do you mean by- Suddenly the door starts the creak before finally giving way and bursting inward. As the pieces settle, he can see the tawny wolf standing just outside of the wreckage. So that's what you look like? Hmm, I was expecting you to be bigger. A playful smile forms on the creatures lips as the boys face flashes faux annoyance.

Oh well excuse me, but who exactly is breaking who out? Yeah that's what I thought. Quickly making his way inside, the scarlet wolf makes quick work of the restraints holding the older animal captive.

Once freed both creatures instinctively nuzzle the others neck, checking to make sure the other was alright. But before the two could say anything, a scratchy voice filters into the room. "Well isn't that cute? It seems my two experiments have found each other at last!" Even though the statement was joking the face of the old man showed no signs of amusement.

Both Tatem and Wally turn to face the new arrival while a vicious snarl echoes from the two of them. "Oh just shut up! I would suggest that the two of you stand down if you know whats best for you." Holding up a small remote, a quiet click is heard before a deafening roar erupts from Tatem's throat.


Wally watches in horror as the doctor laughed when Tatem's body started spasming on the floor. He felt so useless, the only thing he could do was bark at the maniac until the inky creature on the floor stopped twitching. Are you ok!?

A small growl emanates from the crumpled form. I'm alright… but you need to get that remo- Ahh! Abruptly more electricity is shot throughout the creatures body.

Alwin's voice can barely be heard over Tatem's hollowing cries. "Don't be thinking anything stupid Six… Just come quietly and I'll stop hurting him."

Frantically Wally looks between the two bodies in the room. It seemed like time was slowing down, he had to make a choice; Surrender to the hands of this lunatic and hope he keeps his word or attempt to escape and pray they actually make it.

But before he can make his decision, a sudden warmth starts pooling in his stomach. Slowly it begins inching it's way through his entirety setting every part of him on fire. Then… there was nothing.


A/N: Man what a cliffy!? I'm so sorry but I had too!
