Fang POV
I lost control. I didn't mean to do it. I'm not even sure if I did do it. I cant remember a thing. I remember becoming an Eraser and then a prick on the side of my neck. Then I wake up here with no idea what happened. Just something that I really hope was a dream.
I opened my eyes slowly. I came face-to-face with one of the scientists I was with before I had passed out.
"Hello, there Fang." He smiled. I figured he was friendly until I realized he was holding a needle. "I was just about to give you another dose of medicine. It'll keep you asleep while we work on you. For now, your back to normal, but we're trying to figure out a more permanent fix to your… um… problem.
I began getting angry. I didn't like being drugged, especially by whitecoats, even friendly ones. And that's when it began happening all over again. The searing pain of hairs moving out of my skin, the pushing coming from just above my backside. The blurring vision, the expanding chest, arms, legs and ears, the growing teeth, the stretching mouth. It was complete agony, and what was worse, is that time seemed to slow down while it was happening. A few seconds of pain, I felt a huge shock, and then everything went in reverse. I felt the pricking again and then passed out once more,
Max POV
We sat in a white, antiseptic waiting room. Bandages were wrapped around my stomach and I was wearing a clean white t-shirt. Despite what happened earlier, I still hoped Fang would be okay.
"I hope he's alright." I thought out loud.
"He'll be fine, Max. The doctors are working on him right now." Nudge smiled half-heartedly.
I sighed. "Iggy, you should really tell Gazzy you're sorry. He saved our asses thanks to that armor of his."
Iggy grunted in reply and left the room. I heard his footsteps go down the hall to the room where Gazzy was doing repairs to his suit.
Gazzy POV
I heard footsteps moving towards my door. Maybe the doctors were done working on Fang. I heard a knock on the door and got up to open it.
"Oh, it's you." I said.
"Look, I wanted to say I was sorry." Iggy mumbled.
"What's that? I couldn't hear you." I said. "You were mumbling."
"I said I was sorry." He said a bit louder.
"I cant hear you, Ig. Speak a bit clearer."
"I'm sorry!" Iggy shouted.
"It's fine." I pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry, too." I squeezed a bit harder before letting go. Squeals and "Aws" could be heard from the room next door. I rolled my eyes. "Hey, wanna help me? I'm finishing up the armor pieces right now. Just need to finish the helmet and then attach the pieces."
"Sure. Just a question though. How does this thing work? Like, how'd you solve the energy problem?"
I grinned. "New power."
"Oh, should've figured something like that."
Angel POV
I hope he's okay. Oh god, I hope he is okay. I don't care what happened, I still hope he is alright. I'll kill myself if he isn't.
Max's thoughts were beginning to annoy me. Why could she think just a bit quieter.
"I'm sorry Angel. I'm just worried." Almost as if she read my mind. Then I realized that I was making a face. I hadn't meant to make a face. I wonder if I do that often.
But I shouldn't worry about that right now. Right now I should be worrying for Fang. I should be worrying about Max. Not about me.
Nudge POV
One of the nice whitecoats came in. I call them "nicecoats" because they're nice. The nicecoat sat down in the chair in front of us and sighed.
"Well, we've found out that anger is what triggers the transformation. We also know from previous Erasers such as your brother," he gestured to Max "That transforming several times can begin to cause damage to the body's internal structure. In Ari's case—
"Please don't talk about him anymore. Leave him out of this. Incase you didn't know, he's dead now." Max interrupted.
"I'm sorry," The doctor said softly. "I didn't know. Anyway, we have a node sending pulses to the brain that cause it to activate the anger center of his brain. That way, he'll stay in Eraser form until we figure out what's wrong. We know for one thing that he cant transform by his own will. Has he been injected with anything recently?"
"Yeah, yeah he has."
"Max… Um… this might be a bad time but you should probably know who gave Fang those drugs…" I interrupted.
"Who?" Max said, hope now in her eyes. "Who was it? You guys never did fill me in. Nudge, who was it?"
"Lissa."
A/N Okay I'm sorry that I made Fang a bad guy. Also, if your wondering why Max has bandages around her stomach and what she is talking about when she says that something happened, you'll find out next chapter. Trying to keep some suspense going.
