Been a while since I updated this. anyway, Forte's gone for now. but I have a feeling I'm in deep trouble with Dark Raptor 'cuz of him.

Chapter 12 - The truth is revealed.

"HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Terry winced as Max shrieked into her headphones.

"She took it well."

Terry continued to try and find those dragons. It didn't help that Max kept repeating that into her headphones. Anyway, those dragons got away from him, and he was having a hell of a time trying to find them. Oddly enough, there where no call to police reporting them, or calls to the mental wards to check in because of seeing them.

"Wayne, I don't get this."

"What is it?"

"No one's reporting the dragons."

"Wouldn't surprise me. Only the Ultra violet spectrum picked them up at first."

Terry blinked.

"What'd you say? I saw them clear as day WITHOUT using the UV filters."

"Same here. but only AFTER I saw them using the UV camera onboard."

"Hmm. did the Infra red or thermal pick them up?"

"Not until I used the UV."

"Weird."

Kyle woke up. He inspected himself. He was normal.

"It was. a dream?"

"KYLE!!!!"

"Coming!"

Kyle did his usual routine, and went to school. When he was outside the building, he felt it. It wasn't painful, but he felt his body change. He quickly became a massive dragon. His azure blue scales glinted, and he felt an instinct as several students came out to inspect him. It was an instinct not to trust humans. Another instinct forced him to open his mouth, and breathe flames on the innocent students..

"GAH!!!!!!"

Kyle woke up from his nightmare. He inspected himself. He wasn't human.

"Well, at least that was a dream."

Kyle sighed.

"How long before my change is over?"

Then Kyle thought over what he said.

"Huh? Wait a second."

Kyle then realized he said that like he knew he wasn't done yet, but there was no sign of it continuing.

"What's going on here?"

Kyle decided to get out and fly about. If not just to get fresh air, then perhaps to go back to that hanger. That's where he first felt like he was becoming something.natural to him.

/////////////////////////

"Hold on.."

Terry saw something on a building that caught his eye. He decided to go down and look.

/////////////////////////

Kyle was getting a cramp out of his neck. He had tried the hanger again, but nothing was there. He was starting to wonder if he was going insane. Then he realized that he would've become a street pizza a long time ago if he were imagining this. He then heard something coming down. He readied himself, but relaxed when he saw it was the Batmobile. Batman hopped out, and stared a bit at the now blue beast.

". Have I seen you somewhere?"

Kyle blinked. Then he remembered he wasn't red anymore. Just as well. he liked blue.

"I could ask the same thing."

Batman recognized the voice. It was slightly different from before, but it was still Kyle's.

"I thought you were red."

". Got me there."

"Well at least you aren't going crazy on me again."

Batman was still a little cautious. He walked slowly toward Kyle until he was five feet away. Kyle meanwhile, was still trying to get rid of that neck cramp. It wouldn't go away.

"I'm certain I know you." Kyle told Batman.

"."

".Terry?"

Batman's eyes went wide.

"Who?"

". I'm certain I recognize your scent. AUGH!!!!"

Kyle fell down onto all fours. His whole body hurt badly. Batman backed off a bit, and it was a good thing he did. Kyle's body reformed one last time. His neck lengthened, and his body reformed for walking on all fours, or on his hind legs. He grew larger. When it was over, Batman was staring at a fully dragon Kyle. He was smaller than the three he saw earlier, but still a dragon.

"O~kay then. did reality check out without me knowing?" Batman asked.

///////////////////////

"You're telling me THAT'S Kyle??????" Max asked.

"Yeah."

"And he figured out you identity, HOW?????"

"Scent." Kyle answered.

His voice was still his own, although more.draconic.

". Okay, I just realized something. How could Splicers get hold of dragon DNA?" Max asked.

They were silent. Max had a VERY good point. However, someone answered her.

"They didn't." Answered someone walking out of the shadows.

When he was in light, we can see it is Nathan. They don't know who he is though.

"Just who are you?" Batman asked.

"My name's Nathan, and relax. I'm a friend of his mother." He points to Kyle.

That's when Kyle finally started piecing the puzzle together.

"Wait a second. If they didn't, then."

"You're a dragon by blood. well. on your father's side."

All three teens were confused.

"Let me start over. Kyle has always been a dragon. just in human form. and he would have been told sooner, but that Splicer thing. probably triggered his draconic immune system."

"So his change was the Splicers at first?" Batman asked.

"Likely."

Kyle thought about it.

"That'd explain some things. Wait. is my mother."

"No. she knows about the existence of us, but she isn't one herself."

"Us?" The three teens asked.

Then Nathan quickly changed before their eyes into a large black dragon.

"Satisfied?" He asked in a rougher voice.

"So YOUR one of the dragons I saw flying over the town."

This caught Nathan unaware.

". I THOUGHT something was following us. And Derek kept saying it was probably wind."

"Wait. I saw a female dragon of my color. are you sure that my mother isn't one of.'us'?"

Nathan seemed puzzled.

". That's a new one on me. Didn't see her at the hanger."

"So I DID see a bunch of dragons in that hanger."

".So that red oddity was YOU??? What the heck did they splice you with?"

"That's what I was wondering."

Batman then tapped Max on the shoulder.

"What is it?"

"Maybe we should leave them alone. it's not like this should be our concern."

Nathan heard that.

"Hold it!"

They stopped.

"How'd you even see us anyways? I only know of two ways to see our kind. if one willingly makes themselves visible to humans, or by that 'Ultra Violet' thing."

".Uh. question. If they see one dragon, can they see dragons elsewhere without hassle?" Batman asked.

"Yes. Oh. so you two where present during his first change. that explains it."

Nathan then returns to human form. Kyle gets curious.

"Uh. How do I change back? And how'd you keep your clothes from being mutilated?"

".Back? Oh wait, no one told you about being a dragon before. I'll teach you soon."

Then Batman and Max left. They didn't want to intrude on them. After all, some things are best left unknown.

END.
