Chapter 7 - When is a dinosaur hybrid not a dinosaur hybrid?

Stalker managed to kick the beast off of him, but it recovered fast. It lunged at him, and met Stalker's pole head on. While Kyle was stunned, Stalker prepared to run him through. Kyle caught the pole before it jabbed him, and used to flip Stalker a very long distance away. Kyle got up, and shook his head a bit. He opened his eyes, but they were still reptilian. However.

'That was close.'

Kyle then heard something approach. He quickly hid, and prepared to pounce. Soon, the Batmobile landed on the roof. Batman got out, and Kyle heard him talking.

"Are you sure the sensors picked up Stalker around here?"

"I'm positive, but it also picked up another life source."

"A cat with my luck."

"It was Kyle."

Batman's eyes went wide.

"IF STALKER GOT TO HIM."

"I don't know about that. just find him and get a DNA sample."

"How? He went berserk at Max's place."

"."

"We were lucky he didn't kill us."

"."

"WHY would he do that? He was willing to be locked up before he snapped."

"It's my guess that the instincts of what they spliced him with are starting to take hold."

"You mean." "Just get that sample or there's no way to undo what the Splicers did to him."

The radio link went dead, signifying that the conversation was over. Batman began to look around. Kyle prepared to pounce, but decided to get his scent for later. He was surprised that it was familiar.

'I feel like I know him. Maybe. Nah.'

Kyle eased up. He didn't feel threatened. Instead, he felt safe. He was thinking of coming out of hiding, when intense pain surged from his back and shoulders. He screamed in agony as his shoulder blades reformed in something else.

Batman jumped when he heard the scream. He spun around to face Kyle, who had changed more since last seeing him. His face now had a reptile- like muzzle where his mouth and nose were. Only four fingers were on each hand now. Fins replaced his ears. However, what was to top all this off was still to come. Kyle staggered in pain. His inhuman screams rang out.

"RRAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kyle felt the bones of his shoulders reforming into limbs. He felt them forming for use on his back, folded. Batman heard leathery sounds, like something of that texture was forming. Kyle felt some blood fall from his new appendages. Like they had bled a little to make sure blood flowed to them. Batman readied a Batarang in case Kyle went nuts again. When the pain finally subsided, Kyle leaned against a wall, breathing heavily. Batman slowly approached him, unsure of what he'd do. Then Batman noticed the puddle of blood, and got some on a slide he occasionally carries around. Now that he had the DNA sample, he cautiously approached Kyle. Kyle meanwhile, had noticed Batman approach him. He didn't mind, because he was tired, and simply wanted to rest. However, an instinct told him that he had to find somewhere else to sleep. For once, he willingly listened, and ran past Batman quickly, taking a leap off of the building. As Batman turned around, he lost sight of Kyle.

"Slag it."

"You have the DNA sample, right?"

"Yeah, but I thought for once he'd keep himself under control."

"Well, bring the DNA here, and I'll see what might be able to help."

".Thanks."

Then Batman got into the Batmobile, ready to deliver the sample.

Kyle was getting impatient in his search for a place to sleep that wouldn't have him wind up getting caught. Then he found himself on top of his home. He checked in his window. Empty. Then he checked another window. His mother Lisa was crying. He knew why. He was about to leave, when his tongue felt like it was splitting, and it hurt.

"Ergh!"

Lisa brought her head up. She heard him. Kyle quickly moved into his window before she looked outside. Kyle then closed what was left of his door, and got his small mirror out of his desk drawer. He used it to check to see what happened to his tongue. It DID split, making it forked like a snake tongue.

"Wurgh?"

Then he remembered he didn't have a human mouth anymore. It didn't help that his tongue spilt though.

"Strange."

"What is it?"

"This DNA contains genetic strands not found in any living or extinct species known to man."

"WHAT?"

Terry thought for a second, and then was inclined to believe him.

"The analysis indicates that this strand is a blueprint for six limbs."

"That doesn't make se. Wait a second."

Terry thought back to when Kyle ran off the second time. The building was high up, and the only way to get to another building safely besides using some of Stalker's techniques was to..

"Wings."

"What?" Bruce said as looked at Terry like he was nuts.

"Something tells me the extra pair is a pair of wings."

Kyle finished getting used to his new mouth. He was fortunate he could still speak English, although it did take a while to get used to his new tongue, mouth, and vocal cords. He then felt a cramp, so he stretched his new wings to get it out. He was impressed at his wingspan. He couldn't properly stretch in his room due to the wings being 8 feet each. He was also impressed that they folded so well that they could easily be concealed under a shirt. if he had these while still human. Kyle was actually beginning to enjoy his new body. However, he knew that he could never lead a normal life like this. He was thinking about it when he heard someone coming. Then the door opened.

"The only thing I can think of that's reptilian and has wings is."

"A dragon????" Terry finished.



Yep. Kyle's a dragon hybrid. just like the original version. That's also the answer to the title. And I seriously think Kanada got me hung up on TF stories.
