Author Note: I don't know if I'm going to be finishing 'Recruited' I got like some serious writers block going on there, probably because I have no clue what happens between Raven and Trigon so I'm at a loss to what to write, and I wasn't getting very many reviews anyways. – This story is based around the Resident Evil Movies, Not the games…if there's really a difference cause I've never played the games before – I've been planning this fic for like, ever and have worked hard to get it going. If you're going to flame please do it appropriately. Or I'll have to do something nasty to you.
Chapter One: Blackout
Jason Howell reported to the new Umbrella Corporation headquarters for his first day of work at the Umbrella Corporation. He had recently graduated college and lived with his fiancée, Kimberly. They were getting married in three and a half months; he was eagerly counting down the days until his wedding.
"Okay" His new boss, Mr. Smith said as he opened a door, they had been on the first floor but worked their way downward, so they were obviously underground. They entered into what seemed like some sort of sterile medical room, there were box's sitting on the counter which had rows of drawers under it, on the other side of the room there was a wall covered with more drawers some had blue lights on the buttons next to them, and some had green lights. Jason put his attention toward the boxes on the counter with the octangular Umbrella logo on it. Some of the boxes had blue tape securing the top and some had green tape securing the top. "Your first job, organize these vials" he told him as he ripped the tape off one of the green box and opened it, inside were vials full of green liquid in spiraling tubes. He opened the blue one, it was the same, except the liquid was blue.
"You see those drawers over there" Smith said pointing, Jason nodded. "Put the blue vials in the ones with the blue lights, and green in the ones with the green, there'll be foam padding in there with imprints big enough for the vials, fill each drawer and go onto the next"
"Got it" Jason replied. This would be easy. He made the mistake of wondering what was in the vials. "So uhh, what is this stuff?" he asked.
"Experimental Medicine" Mr. Smith lied. "Whatever you do, don't drop it, it's…very valuable, report to me when you're done" at that he exited the room and closed the thick door with a click. Jason looked around the room, it was…white. He sighed and took two blue vials out of the box and walked over to the other side of the room, he pressed a button next to the drawer and it opened with a hiss, it was obviously air locked. He slid the vials into their proper tubes and walked back over to the table and reached into the green box and walked over to the green drawer and pressed the button and let it slide open, he put the vials in the tubes. He then walked over to the blue box, grabbed two more and proceeded to repeat his pattern. On about his fifth trip to the blue box, he grabbed two vials, but on his way over he bumped into one of the drawers below the counter and lost his footing. The vial in his left hand slipped out of it and fell to the floor, the glass tubes broke and the blue liquid spilled onto the floor.
"Dammit!" Jason swore "How the hell did you get open!" he exclaimed looking down at the drawer that had caused him to drop it. Don't drop it. The only thing he was told not to do and he had to go and do it. It's cool he told himself I'll just throw the glass away, wipe up the blue crap and he'll never know I broke it. He kicked the drawer shut with his foot and walked over to the sink and ripped off a few paper towels and walked back over to the spilt blue liquid. He knelt down and picked up the pieces of glass with his paper towel covered hand, and tossed it into the trash can under the sink. He grabbed some more paper towels and walked back over and cleaned up the remaining blue liquid, walked back to the sink and threw it away. No one would ever know...
Smith sat at his desk on the fifth floor with his feet on his desk. He checked his watch. It was noon… why hadn't that new kid Jason reported to him yet? Did it really take someone three hours to sort out two boxes of vials? He sighed; he'd better go check on him.
Smith opened the door to the lab and looked in; no one was in there… at least not from what he could see. He walked fully into the room, both of the boxes were empty. He walked around the counter and gasped. Jason was lying on the floor, eyes open and blankly staring into nothing. His skin was becoming grey and pale and there was a stream of blood coming out of his mouth. He was dead.
"You dropped one didn't you?" Smith asked no one. Jason might have dead, but he wasn't going to stay that way.
Titans Tower, a day later 10:00 AM
"Raven have you seen my wireless gamestation controller?" Beast Boy asked as he tore up the living room as Raven entered.
"No Beast Boy I haven't, you wouldn't have lost it if it wasn't wireless" she replied making her way to the kitchen to prepare herself a cup of herbal tea. Beast Boy snorted and turned into a dog and sniffed around the living room for the controller. Cyborg then made his entrance taking in a whiff of the air and stretching his arms.
"Someone's in the mood for WAFFLES!" He exclaimed. The tin man was suddenly ambushed by a green dog who barked as he landed on him and turned back into human form as Raven came back out of the kitchen with her cup of herbal tea and sat down at the coffee table.
"Cyborg have you seen that gamestation controller I bought the other day?" he asked in one quick breath as he still sat cross legged on top of Cyborg.
"Uhh, no" Cyborg said "Get off me!"
"Not until you tell me where my controller is! I know you took it!" Beast Boy replied as Raven rolled her eyes and took a sip of the herbal tea.
"Raven tell your boyfriend to get off me!" Cyborg exclaimed. Raven's eyes glowed white as she looked down at Cyborg angrily.
"Beast Boy is not my boyfriend" she said then calmed down and decided to enjoy her tea in a quieter location. She almost got to do this when Robin came running into the room, ran straight into her causing her to spill her tea all over Beast Boy who let out a loud shriek of pain as Robin tripped over Cyborg and Beast Boy and landed face flat on the floor.
"Ow" he said. His voice muffled by the floor. Cyborg then grabbed the back of Beast Boy's shirt and tossed him off him and stood back up. Beast Boy danced around repeating the word "hot" as Robin pulled himself off the floor. Raven stared at the boys piled on the floor and shook her head.
"What's the hurry Robin?" Cyborg asked as they re-situated themselves in a vertical standing position. At that moment Starfire floated through the doorway looking just as distressed as Robin.
"Turn on the news!" Robin ordered. Cyborg looked at Beast Boy who was still panting and shrugged, he turned around and made his way towards the large screen TV by the window and turned it on, he flipped it from some random music channel to the normal news channel where a blonde reporter was standing in front of a hospital where things looked pretty chaotic.
"I'm Kelly Anderson here at the Jump city hospital where things look pretty chaotic, early today numerous patients checked into the hospital complaining about a serious illness, the patients suddenly went into erratic and violent behavior and have attacked numerous doctors and there seems to be a viral outbreak going on if you can see behind me officials are trying to keep the patients restrained…
The titans stared at the screen where police officers were trying to keep about ten or fifteen very unhealthy looking people behind caution tape and had parked their cars in front of it for reinforcement that wasn't really…reinforcing, the cameraman zoomed in on one police officer trying to hold back one of the people, it suddenly latched over and sank it's teeth into the officers forearm.
"Holy shit she bit me!" The officer exclaimed and jumped back. The camera went back to the reporter.
As you can see, this is a lot like the situation that went on in Raccoon City –
The TV screen suddenly shut off and the room went dark and all whirring noises of electrical appliances inside the tower stopped and it took a few moments for the Titans To realize that the power had failed. Someone finally spoke.
"Okay, weirdness" Beast Boy said.
"Do we have a battery powered TV anywhere in the mansion?" Robin asked. Cyborg shook his head.
"I'm pretty sure we don't" he told him. "Coincidental that it had to go out right when that news report was on" Raven stared out the window and thought for a minute.
"I don't think it was coincidental" She finally said "There's no power in the entire city" The Titans didn't know how she could tell in broad daylight, but they knew better than to question Raven's ability. Robin finally said something.
"Well, we better go check it out"
