A/N: this time it's Tim's turn to change
Ch. 3
When Tim and Lucy returned to the station, Tim went to Grey with the footage from his body cam, stopping it after Lucy returned to normal, he wasn't sure if what happened at her apartment was recorded, so he wasn't going to take any chances, not for him, he could careless what was said about him, he was protecting Lucy from any rumors that might spread if that got out.
" And she just went back to normal after she calmed down? " Grey asked.
" Yes Sir. " Tim confirmed.
Grey nodded and seemed to be thinking about something. Tim watched as he finally made a decision on whatever it was that he was thinking,
" Could she change at will or is it just under duress? " he asked.
" I don't know Sir. I do know that when that bastard attacked her is when she transformed. "
" Alright. I want you two to go into the station's workout room and test out if you both can tranform at will or under duress. "
" So we don't accidently transform in public and cause a panic? "
" That. And I don't want to have to explain why we have to keep a stock pile of uniforms for you two every time one of you gets so angry or whatever other extreme emotion that can cause a tranformation destorys them and the equipment on your belts. "
" Fair enough. How long do you want us to do that? "
" For now, I would like you both to practice for at least an hour a day until you have a better handle these transformations. And once you do, practice moving and fighting in those forms. The better control you guys have the better. Go up in the mountains if you have too. "
" Yes Sir...But uh, what about when we do these practices? "
" What do you mean? "
" Well, when Lucy tranformed, all of her clothes were destoryed, underwear included. "
" Ah. Well, uh, I think practicing in a towel or some old clothes you don't want anymore may be appropriate. "
" Well I have no problem getting rid of some old clothes, but I'm not sure about Chen, she's the type to keep old clothes for sentimental values. "
" Talk it over with her anyway. You only have an hour left of shift now, so get in some pratice before you leave today. Another hour when you come in before shift tomorrow. "
" Sounds good. I'll go find Chen and we'll go from there. "
Grey nodded and watched as one of his best officer's left to go find another one of his best officer's.
Tim found Lucy at his desk, getting some paperwork done. She paused in her writing to look up at him,
" Yes? "
" Grey wants us to see if we can transform at will or not. " he replied quietly.
" How do you mean? "
" He wants us to practice an hour in the gym here to see is we can change at will or if it's just under duress. If we can, then we need to practice further in those forms, self defense training, the works. Until we have a better hold of it. "
" Sounds good. When do we start? "
" He'd like for us to start now, seeing as we have an hour left of shift. "
Lucy hesitated for a second, " You don't think that's a good idea. " he stated.
" Too soon. And I'm still a little jittery. I don't trust myself right now. And I also think that my scent is a contributing factor as well. That being said, rain check on this last hour of shift and I'll finish up these reports instead. "
" Fair enough. " he took half the stack that was still there and began to help her with the reports, he had gone through a few before he whispered low enough for only her to hear,
" And I don't think your scent has anything to do with it. "
He hid a grin when he heard the scratch of her pen pause for a second before continuing, her knee brushing his as she did.
Time Skip
The next morning, both Tim and Lucy came in early, the less chance they have of other cops seeing them in their other forms, the better.
They had talked more about this morning, they decided to practice in old clothes, she had some from colledge that she wasn't too fond of anymore and had been wanting to get of them for awhile, though she had wanted to give the rest of them away at a shelter; half of them went to Tamara.
" Okay, " Tim started, wearing an old sleeveless shirt and basketball shorts, that wore worn down enough to fit him, " Let's start with you. " he instructed.
" Okay. How? "
" Picture yourself like you were yesturday. " he suggested.
Lucy nodded and closed her eyes. She pictured herself in her mutant/gargoyle humanoid form. She felt something like an itch go throughout her body, she felt her clothes tighten a little; loose jeans and teal t-shirt, but they didn't rip...nevermind. She heard the back of her jeans rip and felt a tail moving about and the back of her shirt rip as her wings sprouted up and out behind her.
She felt her face shift and her teeth elongate and sharpen, her feet shift to what she imagined they'd have felt like on the cartoon, her hands the same as she felt her claws sprout from the nailbeds.
When she felt the transformation had finished, she opened her eyes; now gold, and looked over to Tim, who was starring in awe.
" That impressive, huh? " she asked with a raised eyebrow.
" See for yourself. " he replied, reaching into his gym bag and brought out a mirror, it was a large square one so that Lucy could see her face.
" Oh wow. You were right, I am a tiger. " she replied, reaching out to take the mirror, he handed it to her and watched as she moved the mirror around her face, shoulders, wings, smile and bared her teeth, stick her tongue out, it didn't have those sharp little spikes on it like a normal tiger, lion, or any of the cat species have.
He shook his head of a naughty image of what she could do with that type of tongue if she had it as she gave back the mirror, " Your turn. " she said encouragingly.
" I've never had the pleasure of transforming, let alone picturing what I look like. "
" Alright. Let's use an emotional response, or rather an emotional scenario. What were you feeling when you thought I was in danger with that guy yesturday? "
" Anger. "
" Okay. Use that. Focus on your anger. All of it if you have too. "
Tim knew what she was saying with that statement, it wasn't just his anger of what that bastard was planning on doing, it was also his anger at his abusive, cheating, bastard of a father. His anger at what Isobelle had done to him two years ago. His anger at himself for what happened to Lucy when Caleb kidnapped her.
He felt his muscles bulging, his clothes tightening, a rip behind him told him that his own tail sprouted out, he heard the back of his shirt rip and felt his wings spring out, he imagined them doing like how Lucy's did, felt his face shift along with his teeth sharpening and elongating, his claws digging into his palms, he also felt his chest rumbling until,
" RUUUUOOOOAAAAARRRR! "
With his eyes opening, they were dark red molten lava with a white slitted pupil. He turned to Lucy, heavy breathing like that of a dinosaur.
" Oh wow. " he heard Lucy mutter.
" What? " he heard himself ask, his voice was deep and rough, he looked to his hands and saw that his skin; though smooth, reminded him of a dinosaur or an Iguana's, was like a mahogany color with black stripes on the outside of his arms, like the pattern of a zebra or a tiger or one of those tribal tattoos that he's seen some guys have on their upper arms or neck.
" Please don't tell me that I'm a lizard. " he said, looking to her.
Her head was tilted to the side as she took him in, in this form, Tim was easily 12-13ft tall, maybe 14 if he stood at full height, because as of now, he was resting, like she was. His neck didn't extend out and his face wasn't quiet like a lizard's, it sort of looked like that '98 Godzilla cartoon along with the rest of his body, only humanized or anthro with his head shaped to fit his body and not look stupid, in fact, he looked very handsome in this form, not that he wasn't handsome in his human form, as he himself once pointed out.
The only difference was the black stripes that were like Wesley Snipes tattoos from Blade(Also don't own) on the mahogany skinand there was no big blue spikes coming out of his back, only his cooling lava colored wings; which were bigger than hers, probably as wide as he is tall. He looked very intimidating, commanding even, and very powerful, his muscles were bulging out, again, not in a disgusting way like how some body builders did, they were just right for this form, his tail was larger than hers too she noticed.
His feet was shaped like hers, larger of course, but unlike hers, his had a claw at the heel. His hands, again larger, was shaped like hers and had all ten fingers with sharp claws coming out in place of normal fingernails.
" Well, I wouldn't say lizard, more like a humanized 90's godzilla. The cartoon, not the movie, I think Sevirus had a thing for the 90's. " she voiced her opinion finally.
" What's wrong with the 90's? " he asked with raised eye ridge.
" Nothing. It just seems to have been Sevirus' motivation. " she replied walking over to him, to check him out more in this form, she bit back a chuckle as he seemed to puff out a bit and growl in a pleasant-like growl at the attention.
She decided to have at little fun, she reached out and ran her hand slowly up his left arm, to his shoulder, across his back, over one wing joint, through the middle line of fur that ended at the elastic band of his shorts that, she noticed, was the only thing keeping his shorts on resting above his tail where it had sprouted from his tail bone.
She didn't really consider herself to be a tiny woman, but standing next to him like this made her feel tiny even if her head came to his shoulders in these forms. It was sort of like how it was with them in human form.
His skin was smooth, she could see lighter places on his torso, the shapes and sizes of them, told her that these were scars he recieved either from his tours or on the job, she knew of at least one scar came from being on the job.
She felt herself purr at his continued rumbling of her attention to him and at the heated looked he gave her as she made her way back to face him. She brought her hand up to his blunted face, it too was smooth, where his eyebrows would've been was the only bumpy part on him, she noticed that he had ears that was similar to the Dark Knight's bat symbol wings.(also don't own)
She screeched when something wet slid out of his tightly shut mouth and touched her hand as it moved along his snout, she looked to her hand then to him, a pink forked tongue slid out again, only now it came from the front of his mouth like a snake's would.
" That was not funny! " she exclaimed, she looked upset, but her eyes were shining with mirth.
His eyes were also shining with mirth and something else, a knock came from the doors, causing him to stop and look to the doors, she felt him move his tail to her waist, unconsiously protecting her from whoever was on the other side of the doors.
" Bradford, Chen. You two still there? It's almost time for shift. " they heard Grey say.
Tim let go of her waist, knowing that there was no threat, " You know you can come in Sarge. " he replied.
Grey slowly opened one of the doors and entered into the gym, he jumped when he came around the wall and saw them,
" Jesus! " he exclaimed placing a hand to his chest, the other he placed to the wall.
" You okay? " Lucy asked, going over to him in concern, she held her hand out to steady him, which he accepted.
" Warn a guy next time. " he replied a bit breathless, patting Lucy on the shoulder in thanks.
She nodded and with just a ripple of muscle, she was back to normal. " Better? "
" There wasn't anything wrong with the other form, just a little shocking. " Grey assured her.
" How did you do that? " Tim asked.
" Imagine yourself as human again. " she replied simply.
Tim did so and like with Lucy, he was back to normal with just a ripple of his muscles. He had to grasp his shorts before they slid completely off him, though it would not be the first time that Lucy had seen him naked, they were not alone this time.
" I'll go and get ready for work and get our second cups of coffee. " Lucy informed and went to get changed.
" We had to get an early start. " Tim explained.
" Understable. Those forms are something else. Yours looked more intimidating than Chen's. But I know that she'd still kick ass in that form just as much as you. " he replied.
" You feeling better? " Grey asked after a moment as Tim got ready for work.
" What do you mean? " Tim asked.
" I mean with how you were last week with Chen. Don't think I didn't notice how protective you were being with her, especially around other men. "
" I apologize if I was out of line. But, I..." Tim didn't know how to explain how he was acting or feeling.
" I think I understand how it is. Which is why asked you two to do this, you'll need to retrain yourselves. "
" Yes Sir. Thank you, Sir. "
Grey nodded and left the gym.
Time skip
At lunch, just about the whole gang was there.
Lucy, Tim, Nolan, Nyla, Thorsen, Angela, Wesley with baby Jack, Bailey, and the rare sight of Tamara; sitting with Tim and Lucy at their table, and even Nyla's boyfriend James was there.
They were close together, but at different tables with different foods from the trucks, Bailey and Nolan at one, Angel with Wesley and Jack, Nyla, James, and Thorsen at another.
Lucy was laughing at a story that Tamara was telling her, Tim trying to hide his own smile when the two caught the faint sound of something flying in the air before Tamara called out in pain,
" Tamara! " Lucy and Tim called, gaining the attention of their fellow officer's.
They drew their weapons, gathered their loved ones, and placed them near where Tamara, Lucy and Tim were shielding the young teen. The other officer's took position around their loved ones, ordering the civilians to take cover.
" Where's the shooter? " Nyla asked.
" I'm not seeing any reflecting up in the buildings. " Nolan replied.
" Could be in a building that's in the shade. " Angela said.
" How's she doing Chen? " Thorsen asked.
" I'm not seeing any blood, may be internal. " she replied, though her voice was strong, she was worried and scared for Tamara.
They were all searching the buildings for signs of a sniper as they talked,
" This is 7-Adam-19, we have a possible sniper at our location, requesting additonal units. One person has been hit, late teens with possible internal injuries, have an ambo near and on standby. " Tim radioed in just as Bailey went down,
" Bailey! " Nolan exclaimed.
" Son of a bitch, where is he? " Nyla exclaimed.
Tim radioed in that a second person had been hit now, the other units were another five minutes out.
" Make it two. " Tim ordered.
" Ah! " Wesley was hit now, Jack started crying now, " Wes! Jack! " Angela glanced at him briefly but couldn't look him over for long because of the shooter.
" We're okay. " he huffed through the pain, still protecting Jack.
" Where the hell is he shooting from?! " Nolan asked.
" Ah! " now Angela was hit, when she went down, James was hit right after.
" I can't hear the gun go off, he's either using a damn silencer or he's out of our hearing range. " Tim said.
" Try smelling for gunpowder! " Angela shouted, wincing from the pain in her side. why the hell can't Detective's wear vest out in the field? she thought.
" There's too many other scents. And again, too far away. " Tim said.
" Then focus on where the shots are coming from. " Angela suggested just as Nyla, then Thorsen got hit.
" He's targetting us. " Lucy said.
" What are the chances it's Sevirus' partner. " Nolan said before he was hit.
" John! " Bailey cried.
" What are the chances it's your ex Jason putting a hit out on us? " Nyla asked.
" I wouldn't put it passed him. " Bailey replied.
" The only one he hasn't gotten is Jack. " Wes added.
" He shoots my baby he's going to have a big ass problem. " Angela said in full mama bear mode.
Tim radioed in that they now need more ambo's just as back up showed up. A whizzing sound caught his attention, he reacted to the sound by jumping on to Lucy, who had reacted by jumping on to Tamara.
They heard a clang as the bullet bounced off the table.
" I think that's what he's trying to do! " Lucy called.
" Oh hell no he ain't! " Angela shouted.
Tim and Lucy focused on where they had heard the whizzing, several apartment buildings were in their line of sight, they scanned all of the floors quickly, they landed on the roof of the building in the middle that had a clear view of them. Tim radioed it in and requested air support, other units that were on their way to assist, broke off and made their way to the building just as another bullet hit nearby.
" He's trying to make us scatter so he can get to Jack. " Tim called.
" Like I'm going to let a sicko shoot my kid. " Angela stood back up and got in front of Wesley and Jack.
" Angela! " Wesley exclaimed in worry and fear for her life.
" Like I said, he ain't shooting my kid. " she replied determinedly.
" What's the status on that shooter? " Tim asked in his radio.
" Almost there Sarge. " came a reply.
" Suspect is still on the roof. " came air support. "
" He's not going to move until gets Jack. " Lucy said.
" There's too much heat on him now, if he moves now we'll catch him. " Nyla said.
" Chances are he'll either give up or he kills himself. " Tim added.
Tim and Lucy's head turned to the sound of a gun firing in the same direction a second later,
" Status! "
" Suspect down. I repeat, suspect is down. None responsive. Code 4 "
" Son of a bitch. " Tim cussed, " Okay, secure the scene and send the corner to your location. "
The paramedic's rushed in once they got the all clear, tending to Bailey, Nolan, Nyla, Tamara, Wesley, James, Thorsen, and Angela's wounds. One paramedic came over and offered to check over Jack while his parents were getting treated, and though Jack hadn't been hurt, his parents wanted to make sure that he was okay, so they let the medic take Jack to be looked over while they were being treated themselves.
As they were being tended to, Jack suddenly cried out as though he was in pain, " Jack! " Angela and Wesley called as the medic that had taken him was now longer there and only Jack was on a gourney.
" You have got to be kidding me! " Wesley excalimed.
" Tim, Lucy, go get that son of a bitch! " Angela said.
But she didn't even have to tell them, they were already on their way after him. Pausing only long enough to get his scent from Jack before continuing on the chase.
However when they caught up to the now obvious fake medic, he was already dead, he smelled like bitter almonds, Cyanide, he poisoned himself high lethal dose as he ran off.
" Coward. " Tim growled as he radioed it in.
" Who the hell are these guys? " Lucy muttered in disbelief.
" I don't know. We don't even know if this is connected to what happened to us and the people before us. It could be someone we've arrested in the past looking for payback, it could be Bailey's ex hiring a hit out on her and have the guy target us to make it look like it's us their after instead of her and possibly Nolan. " Tim replied.
They returned as soon as the scene was secured, Tanner was there and had Jack now, Lucy went over and took him from him,
" Lucy... " he started.
" Don't. " she warned, her eyes flashing gold at him, " Now is he alright? "
" Yes, he's fine. "
" Then I'll take him from here. "
" Lucy, " Tanner went to grab her arm, but Tim stopped him,
" We just had a fake E.M.T do something to our godson. We ain't letting him out of our sight. " he told him, squeezing his wrist.
" Ow! Okay! Sorry. " Tanner said before Tim let go of him, following after Lucy.
Tim and Lucy had to stay and give their statements of what happened before they could leave with Jack to Shaw Memorial where their friends were taken to.
When they got there, they found they weren't seriously injured, only tiny glass fragments were pulled from the bullet shaped wounds; only surface wounds, which were where the vests didn't protect, legs, arms, and neck, those that weren't wearing a vest got hit in the back; Tamara. Shoulder or side.
The bullet or whatever they were shot with was designed to break on impact, which explains the surface wounds and why it felt like they shot. As for what was in the object that hit them, there traces of it around the wounds and was sent off to be tested, little Jack had some of his blood taken to see what had caused him to cry out like he did at the scene, Lucy was holding him and soothing him the whole time that was being done.
" Okay Jackie, let's go find mommy and daddy now. " she said as she rubbed his back, he still had tiny tears in his eyes, but he wasn't crying out, he had his head down on his godmother's shoulder, keeping it tucked into her neck, not liking what was going on.
" I know Baby. " she soothed, sensing his discomfort, she placed the hand that was rubbing his back to his head, giving him a kiss to his temple as they went to Angela and Wesley's room,
" Oh thank god! Jack! " Angela and Wesley called when they saw them coming in with their son, Angela getting up out of bed and going to them, Wesley following.
Lucy handed Jack over to her and she hugged him to her and gave him multipule kisses, " Thank you! " she said, her eyes getting watery along with Wesley's.
" Your welcome. " Lucy said with a smile.
" Any word on what that stuff was? " Tim asked.
" No. What about Jack? " Angela asked.
" They took some of his blood to see what was done to him, we were with him the whole time. " he answered.
" And that son of a bitch that hurt him? " Wesley asked.
" He's dead. " Lucy answered.
" Dead? What do you mean he's dead? " Angela demanded.
" He poisoned himself with a lethal dose of Cyanide after leaving Jack alone. " Tim answered.
" So what are they saying on your end? "
" Other than the glass shards and a slight fever, we're fine. But they want to keep us all over night to be sure. They checked Jack out too right? "
" Yeah. He also had a slight fever, but nothing dangerous to worry about. "
" What? " Angela asked when she saw the matching looks of concern on her friends faces.
" I think we know what was in those objects that you guys were hit with. " Lucy said first.
Angela's eyes widened, " The same thing you guys were hit with back at that warehouse with Sevirus? "
" If that was even Sevirus. " Tim said.
" What do you mean? " she asked again.
" I'm saying that what if the guy I shot was the partner and the guy that escaped was Sevirus. A partner wouldn't be this orchestrated or have a backup if something didn't go as planned. This whole thing screams cult. Only this one's a science one. That or the guy is just insane. " he explained.
" He could be schizophrenic. " Lucy offered.
" I thought schizophrenics didn't have any rational thought? " Wesley asked.
" Even though schizophrenics have no meaning to what they say to us, to them it does have meaning. Some can even be brillant. Others, well, it depends on the person. And even though a schizophrenic can be on their meds, they still have the thoughts and voices in their head, the meds just makes it easier for them to fight it off. " Lucy answered.
" Would your parents be willing to help us out with trying to figure out what our suspect's mindset is? " Angela asked, she saw Lucy tense up and became concerned, as did Tim as he looked at her with concerned eyes, though his face was impassive.
" I don't think that's a good idea. Conflict of interest right? Their my parents. We'd have to bring in another physiatrist or a criminial profiler. " at their looks, she added a bit sheepishly,
" We also aren't the best of terms right now. Haven't been since I arrested Bàba's patient last year and Māmā came to my ruined graduation dinner. "
At their continued concerned looks, she cleared her throat and excused herself to go check on Tamara and the rest of their friends.
" What was that about? " Angela asked.
" No idea. She didn't say anything about it to me. But then again, I wasn't her partner after she graduated, Jackson was. " Tim said, " She didn't even bring it up when we became partners again. " he continued.
" Something tells me that Chen's parents aren't happy with her career choice. " Angela said.
" Well that's on them, not Lucy. " Tim replied.
" So, how long before we start doing what you and Chen have been doing? " Angela asked.
" You mean your not noticing anything now? "
Angela and Wesley looked at each other then their eyes widened as their brains finally caught up with their bodies, the sounds, the sights, the smells.
" Woah, easy. " Tim said as he went and held them up, being mindful of Jack.
" Here, sit down until you get used to it more, it won't take long. " he continued as he gently pushed them towards their beds, taking Jack as they sat.
" Is that thumping I'm hearing people's heartbeats? " Angela asked, breathless.
" Slow breaths guys, breath through your mouths if you have to. " he advised.
" How can you and Lucy stand this? " Wesley asked, doing as Tim instructed, he was right, he wasn't as bad as before, their bodies were quickly adapting to the serum.
Jack began to fuss, Tim began to rock him gently, he couldn't smell anything from Jack's diaper and didn't hear his stomach growling or gurgling, so he too was trying to get used to his new senses, but it was either too much or over-whelming because he got worse.
" Shhhshhh, Jackie, it's okay. " Tim cooed to him gently, he tired humming, that didn't work, so he tried a soothing growl/purr, that didn't work either.
" Try singing to him. " Wesley suggested.
" Do I look like a professional singer? " Tim replied.
" I can only hum. " Angela replied.
" I can't sing or even hum right. Here try his baby playlist, these are his favorites. " Wesley opened his phone and tried a song, but that seemed to make it worse,
" Turn it down! His ears are more sensitive. " Tim called over the screaming baby now.
Lucy came in then, " Hey! what's the matter Jackie? " she cooed, taking him from Tim, humming and gently sway side to side, Jack started to calm down as Lucy humed 'You are my sunshine' before she started to sing it.
After a few lines, Jack calmed down completely and started to purr like a kitten, in fact, he even shifted to a baby spotted winged cat that was the hybrid breed of a Jaguar and a Snow Leopard, his fur was a little darker than a Snow Leopard's with the spotted pattern of a Jaguar, his little wings were the color of Jaguar's fur without the spots.
" I hate you. " Tim huffed.
" No you don't. " she replied with a grin as she continued to sway, purring lightly herself.
" The next time we can't get Jack to sleep, we're calling you. " Angela stated.
" Fine by me. " Lucy replied, still smiling, kissing Jack on the head.
" Well, I'm guessing that you guys are big cats like Lucy. " Tim said after a moment.
" Wait, you guys can do that too? We can do that?! " Wesley exclaimed.
" SHH! " the three hushed him.
" Yes. I'm a white gold eyed tiger with black wings to match my hair. Tim's like a humoid, dragonized, '98 cartoon version godzilla. " Lucy answered his question, " That's the only way I can describe him in that form. " she continued sheepishly at their odd looks.
" Jack looks like a hybrid of a Jaguar and a Snow Leopard, maybe a cheetah. " Tim said, " So that means that one of you is a Jag while the other is a Snow Leopard. " he finished.
" Can't wait to see which is which. " Angela said with sass, " I better be the Jaguar. " she continued with a grin.
" I wonder what the other's will be? " Wesley asked.
" Speaking of, how is everyone else? " Tim asked, looking to Lucy.
" Same as these two. Tamara's a little shook up, but she says she'll be fine once her nerves calm down. " she answered.
" You don't think there's anymore crazies out there do you? " Wesley asked.
" I hope not. But until we find Sevirus, " Tim started,
" Or his partner. " Angela added in.
" I don't think anyone will be safe from that guy. You what just happened, they ain't afraid to come at cops or their families. Whatever sick obsession this guy has or whatever kind of mental illness he has that's driving him, we need to stop him. " Tim finished.
" Well, why don't we take what he's given us to use against him? He only seems to want to turn us into these gargoyle/mutant hyrbids. " Lucy added in.
" For now. Whose to say that he won't try and make us into a weapon? " Tim replied.
" But wouldn't we already be considered weapons? We can take down criminals faster than ever. We're stronger and faster than the rest of the department or anyone else. We could be the LAPD's special force team. A step up from SWAT. " Lucy argued.
" In a way, she's right. With these new senses and strengths? Doesn't that automaticlly quailify us as a weapons? " Angela added in.
" Yeah. I guess. And I also guess that Lucy and I have a class to teach. "
" We just learned to transformation ourselves, it could be a learning class for all of us. "
" Fair enough. "
Angela, Wesley, Lucy, and Tim's ears twitched at the sound of running feet and wheels rolling through out the floor. They stuck their heads out, seeing not only, Thorsen, Nyla, James, Tamara, Nolan, and Bailey's head sticking out, of their rooms, they saw hospital staff rolling in more officer's, Grey among them and paramedics and firefighters.
" Sarge! " they called to Grey.
" What the hell happened? " Tim demanded.
" We don't know. " a nurse said.
" Sarge? " Tim asked as he followed him,
" All I heard was a bang and then a pain in my back. " Grey answered.
" Why didn't we hear it? " Angela asked.
" We're out of hearing range of the blast. " Tim answered.
" How do you know where the blast came from? " Wesley asked.
" Most of these guys was at the scene of our shooting. Check for glass fragments in their wounds. " Tim told the doctors and nurses.
Tim ordered for Nolan, Nyla, and Thorsen to get out of their rooms in order to give the doctors and nurses the space, they did as he ordered, Angela and Wesley too, Lucy gave Jack back to Wesley. Tamara, James, and Bailey followed suit as well.
Even though this bomb was out of their ranging, they heard another go off that was closer but not too close to the hospital. They all ran to the windows as another bomb went off,
" What the hell is going on? First a sniper shoots at us while we're having lunch and now bombings? " Tamara asked, getting scared, she moved between Tim and Lucy, getting as close as she could to them as they looked at the black clouds of smoke.
" I don't know Sweetie. " Lucy said, wrapping her arm around her.
" Well we can't just stand here! Let's get back out there help! " Bailey urged.
" I agree. " Nolan added.
" Yep, you two are perfect for each other. " Nya stated, " But they're right. I'm in. " she continued.
" Is it safe for you to be out there? " James asked.
" We were just shot with a gargoyle/mutant serum and your asking if it's safe to be out in the middle of bomb attacks? " she replied.
" I- " James started.
" We will be fine. " Nyla gave him the look of don't say another word.
James wisely shut up.
" Wise man. " he heard Wesley mutter, as did the others, who chuckled.
" Okay, let's suit up and get back out there! " Tim ordered.
" Sir, yes sir! " they called and went to put their uniforms back on,
" Uh, Sarge. " Nolan said as he tried to put his uniform shirt on, it was tight on his upper torso.
" Okay, pitstop for new uniform shirts then we get back out there. " Tim ordered, his eyes turning to lava.
" Yes sir! " they replied.
" I'm so glad we don't have to do that. " Nyla commented, her eyes flashing jade.
" Just wait until later. " Lucy said as they all now raced out of the building, her eyes turning gold.
" Sounds like fun. " Angela replied, her eyes flashing a bronze color.
Thorsen, Nolan, and Bailey's eyes turned colors as well, Thorsen's was magenta red, Nolan's was a vibrant blue; like a dark blue LED light, Bailey's was orange with flecks of red.
Wesley's eyes would turn to a teal color with flecks of yellow. Grey's; copper, Jack's; silver, James'; dragonfruit, and Tamara's; han purple.
As for their other forms, well, they had to wait a few weeks to see what those would be, except for Jack of course, he already has his new form, which slowly returned to normal as his father held him.
