Chapter 21

After driving for nearly two days straight Otto checked himself and Zachary into a small and slightly rundown motel. He had chosen that particular one because it was cheap enough to not check for his identification but clean enough to not kill him or the still unconscious Zachary from germ override.

He first carried both his and Zachary's bags into the small room then carried in the boy who was still bundled up in his trench coat after making sure they weren't being watched by anyone.

The room was fair sized for a cheap motel. Two uncomfortable looking beds were side by side with a small nightstand in between them. A television positioned infront of them and a small door leading into a rather dirty bathroom. There were cigarette burns in the carpet and the one thing in Otto's mind was to get out of this place as soon as the sun came up.

He laid Zachary out on the bed closest to the bathroom and searched through the boy's bag for a moment. He pulled out a pair of black sweatpants and a dark gray tee shirt with the Nike symbol up in the corner of the left side of the chest.

Being gentle he unwrapped the teenager from the coat and dressed him in the warm clothes. But instead of putting him under the covers he once again laid the coat over him as a blanket. There was no telling what was on the sheets of the bed or when they had last been washed.

Stopping to watch the boy's face he watched the soft intakes of breath and brushed some hair from Zachary's face.

He was sure that the young man would wake any time now. It had been long enough for the body to regain it's strength and he just had to wait for his boy to open his beautiful frosty green eyes.

Sighing heavily Otto rubbed the back of his neck and sat on the side of his bed.

He had no idea where to go.

He was a wanted criminal genius and he didn't know where to go.

God, he was pathetic.

A Few Hours Later

Otto had been dozing lying on his stomach. He had removed his own coat a long while earlier to the happiness of his children and was dozing on his stomach. The tentacles for once were limp and lying sprawled out on the bed in silent shutdown but stirred when a sound penetrated the half-asleep mind of their master.

Zachary was beginning to wake up.

Groaning slightly Otto raised his head and looked over at the other bed where the teen was slowly coming back to consciousness.

This quickly grabbed his attention and he forced himself awake. He sat up completely and moved to a different position so that he was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Smiling lightly he rubbed the boy's cheek with his hand.

"Zachary."

Two frosty irises appeared and looked up over at him. The boy's eyes were red rimmed but other than that he looked just fine aside from being a little pale.

"Where are we?"

"A motel."

"Thanks for elaborating."

Otto chuckled. Even when weak and just waking up the boy had a bit of sarcastic wit.

"I'm not fully sure exactly where we are. But we aren't in New York City anymore. I believe we are almost out of New York State though."

"Where are we going?"

"Truthfully? I haven't decided yet. We need to go somewhere that I can rebuild the containment cylinder. Spider-Man showed up before we could finish."

Zachary made a sound like a groan but stopped midway through it. Wondering what was wrong Otto looked at the boy's face and saw a look of sudden recognition.

"What's wrong Zachary?"

There was a long pause and the said boy looked at him wide eyed.

"Maybe you won't have to rebuild."

Otto was now rather confused.

"What are you talking about Zachary?"

"You won't need to make a new one."

The boy was sitting up. He was still wide eyed but now he looked excited.

"I had thought the cylinder thing looked familiar, but I wasn't able to remember where I had seen it. But I just remembered. There's a fully built and functional one of those in the Batcave! We can go to Gotham and stay at my house. I'll bet you my life I could convince my sister and mom to let us stay there if I can talk to them. The cave is right under the house, and we have acres of private land. Nobody would ever see us and you can set everything up there!"

Otto's first thought was to say no, but as Zachary described how everything could work, he found himself catching onto the boy's excitement.

"Yes…that would be perfect. But what of the needed fluids and chemicals? We wouldn't be able to steal them with out alerting the public that we had changed bases."

Zachary just smiled and shook his head.

"Doctor Octavius, I don't know if I mentioned this, but I come from a billionaire family. We could buy it and have everything delivered without any questions."

A grin was spreading across Otto's face and he couldn't remember ever having such a good feeling about something.

"Zachary…you're a genius. A somewhat childish and very handsome genius, but a genius no less."

Zachary grinned back at him.

"So…we are going to Gotham?"

Otto just nodded at the boy's hopeful expression.

"Yes, we're going to Gotham."
