Chapter 1: Birth
He tapped on the glass a few times, eager to see if it reacted. But to his dissapointment, it remained motionless. Frowning, he wrote down the results on his clipboard. Suddenly a voice rang out on the intercom. "Come back. We're ready to inject its next dose." He looked up at security camera and noded, then left the room. He walked down the brightly lit hall. He ocasionaly waved hello at people as he walked by them. Everyone knew him as a friendly fellow. Friendly and brilliant, a rare trait in this organization. He found the door he was looking for and pulled out his security card, swiping it through the scanner. A microphine poped out of the pannel near the door. "Peter Khcyke." he said in a heavy Russian accent. The pannel beeped a rejection sound, then resumed its start-up mode. Damnit he thought, i thought they fixed that problem. His accent was always casuing him to be locked out of the rooms that needed a voice sample to enter, and this was one of them. He tried again, this time more clearly. It beeped a acceptance sound and the door slid open. He pocketed his security card and entered.
He walked right into a control room, several scientists hunched over monitors and pannels. One of them looked up at him. "Ah, Misur Peter," he said, a French accent to his voice, "It still dosent move?" Peter noded. "Yes, hopefully it wont end up like the others." He sat down and turned his computer on. Letting it warm up, he looked up at the Frenchman. "Tell security they're doing a half-ass job with the voice doors." he said, almost laughing. The Frenchman laughed, "Wee, it is a major problem with all of us." Peter smiled and looked at his now online computer. He opened a program labled "Feeding". He began typing instructions into the computer. The Frenchman stood over Peter's shoulder. "You said it will be different this time?" he asked. Peter noded, still typing. "Yeah, i want to try out one of the new enzymes we got last week." he said, his accent distorting some of his words. After finally finishing the program, he hit enter and waited.
On the large monitor at the front of the room, a video feed of the room Peter was just in. A large clear cylinder rested in its center, holding something that was too small to be seen clearly on the outdated video equipment. But it could be seen none the less, despite just being a tiny blur. It floated in a greenish liquid, motionless. The feeding program began to work, and the green liquid slowly became a tanish color. Everyone in the room watched eagerly, Peter espicaly. If this one died like ones in the past, his funding would be cut in half, and he would have to start from scratch....again. The Frenchman walked over a blinking monitor. "Its feeding, misur." he said, causing Peter look turn around in his seat. "Finnally." he thought aloud. Suddnely, several profanities in differnet languages came from the front of the room. Peter spun back around, curious what the comotion was about. He became confused on what he was seeing. The video monitor was showing that the thing in the tube was moving! But not just back and forth. It was growing. Soon, it was pressing aganst the glass of the tube, casuing it to crack. Peter imediatlley reached down and picked up a red emergency phone. "Hello." he said to the person on the other end, "Get some security down to level 5-R..........just do it!" he said as he looked back up at the monitor. His eyes widend in terror. The glass tube was shattered, and its occupaint was nowhere to be seen. ".....hurry." he said, sounding desperate.
"Comon, just try it!" Beast Boy said as he moved the pizza slice towards Cyborgs mouth. Cy quickly pushed it away. "Man, you know i hate that tofu stuff!" he said, looking disgusted. BB took the pizza away and glared at Cy. "Suit yourself." he said and practicly inhaled the pizza. Starfire tilted her head at them. Robin just ate his own slice of pizza. Raven was back at the Tower doing God knows what. It had been several weeks since Kardol left, and in that time the pizza place downtown had been rebuilt. The Titans were there for its grand reopening. Raven had denied the offer for some reason. "Dude, she needs to get over him." Beast Boy said when the subject of Kardol came up. Robin glared at BB. "Well, if your only family just flew off on you, wouldn't you be worried about them?" he asked sternly. BB placed another slice of pizza in his mouth. "Still, thats no reason to deny a trip here!" he said, cheese hanging out of his mouth. "Raven is in mourning, she simply needs time." Starfire said. "He's not dead!" BB exclaimed, "He just went off somewhere. Im sure he's fine." Cy noded. "BB's right. Guy's a 8 foot tall lizard. He can handle himself."
While they talked high up on the patio, the streets below were as busy as ever. The cars sped by quickly, each one's driver probably late for something. For instance, a cab drvier was geting annoyed with his whiny passenger. "Ooh...can we hurry? Im going to be late for the convention!" he said, slaping his hand on the glass. Finally fed up with it all, the cabbie turned around in his seat. "Litsen, pal." he said angrily, "shut your yap before i shut it for you!" If he hadnt turned around, maybe he would've noticed the manhole a few feet ahead shoot into the air. He would've notice the blur shooting into the air after it. The cabbie turned back around in time to find his whindshield was blocked by something grey in color. Blind, he swirved the car back and forth, trying to shake what ever it was off the car. He turned and sped right into a light post, smashing the engine inwards and sending the thing flying off the car and through a window of a nearby shop.
Robin shot to his feet as he witnessed the accedent. After a few seconds of silence, people began running out of the shop, screaming. "Titans, go!" Robin said and leapt off the patio, the other Titans following. Robin ran upto the cab and opend the door, relived to see both ocupants weren't hurt. He helped them out as terrified people continued streaming out of the shop. Soon, silence was heard, and Robin and the other Titans stood ready for battle. Something came into view, hidden slightly by the shadows. It looked hurt. "Hello?" Robin cried out to it. "Are you hurt?" It walked over to the window a fell out onto the street. The Titans just stared at it. "Whoa." Beast Boy said.
Before them was a silver colored blob of goo, spralled out across the sidewalk. It twisted and buldged, as if something was inside it that wanted out. It slowly rose into the air, and a deformed humaniod head molded out of it. Gooey arms appeared as well, and drops of itself slid to the floor. It opened its "mouth" which was just a large deression in its disfigured head. A ear-spilting metallic shriek filled the streets, shattering nearby windows. The Titans pressed on thier ears, feeling like thier heads would explode. The shirek stoped and the creature began slithering towards the Titans, its head swaying back and forth. Cyborg pulled out his sonic cannon and aimed it at the blob monster. "Back off!" Surpriseingly, it stoped at Cy's orders. It just stood there as it continued looking like melted plastic.
"What is that thing? Plasmus?" Beast Boy said. Robin studied the creature. "Dont think so...." he said cauiously. The silver blob looked at each of them, although it had no visible eyes. It's gaze stoped on Beast Boy, and it every inch of its unstable body froze. ".......bEAst BoY." it said in a gargled tone. BB rasied an eyebrow at it. "Uh...have we met?" he asked, puzzled. The creature didnt answer. It just kept its unmoving gaze upon him. The other Titans stood uneasy. "BB, i think you should move..." Cy wispered to the green teen. BB noded and took a small step back. Bad idea.
The creature leapt at BB and smothered his entire body with its gooey form. Beast Boy fell to the ground, trying to push the thing off. Cyborg ran up and tried pulling it off, but he couldnt get a solid grasp on it. Suddenly, a wave of silver goo pushed Cy back. He fell flat on his back and watched as Beast Boy's muffle screams could be heard. After a few seconds, his visible limbs suddenly stoped moving. "Beast Boy!" Robin yelled and ran towards them. To his surprise, the blob leapt off BB and landed a few feet away, buldging again. Beast Boy was lying on the pavement, motionless. Robin knelt down and put his ear to his chest. His heart was still beating, good. Robin looked back at the creature.
The silver blob slowly twisted and buldged. It seemed to be taking a solid form, because it was gaining a more defined shape. The Titans watched as it took its form fullly, and were shocked. There, standing not 5 feet away from them, was Beast Boy. Well, not him really, but a colorless version of him. It was a all chrome BB. It looked down at itself. "Whoa." it said in a metallic verison of BB's voice. It looked at its hands and suddenly transformed into a gorilla, then back to human form. It looked shocked. The Titans looked at it curiously. "What the hell are you?" Cyborg asked, aiming his cannon. The silver BB looked back at them. "Leave me alone!" it screamed. It lost its BB form and became liquid like again. It sank into a storm drain and dissapeared. The Titans just stared.
"What was that?" Robin asked.
Oooo, suspense! Stay tuned for more. Please R&R.
