Chapter 35: New Specimens
(Same tags apply as in Chapter 1)
Onika watched as the blond man escorted a woman a few years younger than himself into the lab. A slight grin traced his lips when the woman slapped his arm away and moved to lean against the wall.
"Leave us. I have a feeling that this young lady doesn't want you around, Zade."
Fraser narrowed his eyes at the scientist before leaving the lab. Elmyra sighed in relief but was still nervous at being alone with the scientist. She waited silently, her body rigid and guarded as Onika wrote something on the clipboard he was holding.
Hazel eyes looked up and met green as he shoved his pen into his pocket. "You are here until we get the tapes that we want and you'll be released unharmed. In the mean time, you have something I need."
Her eyes widened at the man before her. "What could I possibly have that you need?" She asked, trying to maintain her composure. "I don't have any information you need, Onika. Your men took the wrong person, if that's what you're looking for. I was just along for the ride."
He smiled once more as she fidgeted nervously across from him. "It's quite simple, my dear. First off, I'm going to have to perform a physical exam on you and take some blood. Then we'll go from there."
"Wh-what if I refuse?" She asked quietly.
"You can't refuse. If you don't cooperate, I'm sure Zade wouldn't mind coming in to help." He said, moving to the door to retrieve Zade.
"No!" Elmyra pleaded, her arm outstretched towards the hazel-eyed scientist. "Please don't. I'll cooperate with you, just don't let that man near me."
"You're a feisty one…" Onika said, watching her fist clench and release. "I won't call him…yet. Come with me."
Resigned and reluctant, she followed the professor deeper into the lab. She gasped when she saw the form of a teen boy strapped to a table. His body trembled violently as a watery looking green substance dripped from an IV bag, flowing down a tube and into his body.
"Why are you infusing that poor child with mako?!" She demanded as she rushed to the boy's side. She knew that she couldn't free the boy without knowing where the controls were to release him, so she did the only thing she could.
Her hand came to rest on the boys' forehead, feeling the heat being released from his feverish body. Glowing violet eyes opened and met her own emerald as Onika's voice reached her ears.
"Actually, it's not entirely mako, but there is mako in that mixture. If he didn't receive this light infusion, he probably would die and I can't lose my specimen yet. That will stabilize the cells in his body fully, but will not allow his strength to increase further, thus making him a bigger security risk."
"You poor boy…" She said, disgusted by what he was doing to the teen. Elmyra leaned next to the boy's ear as her fingers ran through his hair. "Don't worry, when my friends come to take me from here, you won't be left behind." She whispered in his ear
"Thank you…they…took me…I don't…want to be here…" He whispered in her ear as a tear fell down from his amethyst eyes.
Elmyra felt her heart clench for the young man as she turned back to the professor. "How can you do this to a child?" She asked, wiping away the tears.
"Its necessary to further my research." He said and as he saw her about to argue, he held up his hand, forestalling her words. "This topic is not up for discussion. Come with me." He took her by the arm and led her to a room. A set of hospital pajamas was removed from one of the cabinets and placed on the exam table.
"There is a bathroom through that door with a shower and you'll find soap, a towel, toothpaste and a toothbrush. You have ten minutes before I start with my exam." He said before walking out of the room.
Elmyra stared at the door for a moment, before shaking herself. She knew that there was nothing in the room for her to fight her way out with, so she resigned herself to grabbing the clothes and retreating to the bathroom. If she couldn't escape, at least she could wash that perverts touch from her skin.
.::-o-::.
The auburn haired woman emerged from the small bathroom a few minutes later. Her cheeks, neck and the soft skin of her now cloth covered breasts were now red from the vigorous scrubbing, but she did feel better.
The loose bottoms to her lab issued pajama's were secured around her hips by tying the drawstrings tightly, but she kept having to pull the neckline of the top back, to keep its v-neck from exposing too much of her cleavage. He dress was carefully folded, though in the back of her mind, she knew that she would never wear it again. Idly, she considered donating it to one of the charities so someone else could have it as she sat in a chair in the corner of the room, not wanting to get onto the exam table until she had to.
As she thought about the teen boy out in the lab, she didn't hear the soft knock on the door, but did look up with the Professor. She watched began to jot down something on his clipboard once more. He then reached into his pocket and removed the keys to the locked cabinet, removing veinipuncture supplies, blood vials, a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope.
"On the table please." He started. "The sooner we finish this portion, the sooner we can move to the next step."
With a sigh, Elmyra clasped her shaking hand stepped up on that booster step and sat on the exam table. She sat through him taking her blood pressure, temperature, many vials of blood and a sample of urine. After listening to the man mumble to himself as he listened to her heart and lungs, she watched he took his samples and left the room, mumbling something about returning soon.
.::-o-::.
An hour later, the brown haired man re-entered the room and thumbed through the papers. "You, my dear, are in perfect health. So now its time to progress to the next step. Come." He said and led her from the room and into another. This one differed from her exam room.
There was a lot more equipment, among one of which she recognized as an ultrasound machine. She turned to him and tilted her head to the side slightly. "Wh-what are you going to do?"
"Well my dear, in all truth, I need a few of your eggs."
"WHAT?!" She asked and backed away from him and into the wall. "NO!" She shrieked more out of surprise than fear, her arms wrapped tightly around her middle.
"I don't think you understand. You have no choice in this."
"It's my damn body!"
He moved towards her and quickly grabbed her arm, making her lay on the exam table. "We can do this one of two ways. You can allow me to sedate you so I can take the eggs pain free, or I can strap you down and do it while you're wide awake. Either way, it will happen no matter what."
Elmyra looked down to the floor as a few tears escaped from her eyes. Her body relaxed a bit, though she was still shaking as he lifted her shirt and lowered the waist of her pants. The ultrasound machine was switched on and the cold gel was squirted onto her flat stomach.
After running the transmitter over her stomach. He located her ovaries and looked at her organs with a critical eye. "Excellent." He said.
Her heart was pounding in her chest as she watched him draw up a white liquid into a needle. "You won't feel a thing…" He said as he swabbed her arm and injected the tranquilizer into her vein.
Elmyra winced as the needle pierced her flesh and the fluid was pushed into her vein. Her body felt heavy and her eye drifted shut as darkness took her.
There was a knock at the door and Onika sighed before opening it. "What?"
"You still want me to take the kid back to the cell? His infusion is finished." The man on the other side asked.
"Yes. Take him back down and set up a second cot. I'll need to have her close while she recovers."
"Okay boss." The man said and closed the door.
.::-o-::.
Onika removed the needle from her abdomen and transferred the eggs into a petrie dish. He then placed them under a microscope and thirty minutes later, the cloned Jenova cells had been injected into the ova and were already rapidly multiplying.
"Zade!" He called to the man in the hall as he drew up the reversal for the tranquilizer. The clear liquid was injected into the vein in her arm as the blond entered.
"I'm done with her but I'll need to observe her. Take her into the room with my other specimen." Zade nodded and walked over to Elmyra. "Be careful with her when you pick her up and don't put any pressure on her stomach.
"When you're done, contact Shinra and arrange a trade." He saw Zade about to speak and held up his hand. "You will receive your injections up to stage two. When you return with the tapes, you'll receive the third.
Zade nodded before turning to Elmyra. The woman was easily lifted and he carried her from the room. He walked to the cell where his other specimen was being kept, and an armed guard opened the door.
The boy was still unconscious from his own treatment and supposedly would be for some time. He laid Elmyra on the cot and placed a bucket by her bed before leaving the cell. She would be awake soon and form what he had seen, she didn't react very well to tranquilizers.
He squatted near the cot, his eyes tracing across her form. His hand came up from his side and gently traveled across her stomach, remembering Onika's warning about that area. Zade moved in close and brushed his nose against her cheek before moving in to place a soft kiss on her lips.
.::-o-::.
'Wake up!' A familiar voice called to her within the darkness.
Elmyra felt the fog lifting from her mind as well as another wave of nausea that was beginning to build. As her body's control began to return and the numbness wore off, her eyes snapped open as kisses were being placed down the side of her neck and a hand was snaking beneath her pajama bottoms to rub at the soft skin of her thigh.
"Please…stop…" She cried as she weakly managed to pull his hand out of her bottoms. "Don't…touch me!"
"I told you we'd continue this…" The blond said, ignoring her as she scratched and slapped at him, never hard enough to cause him any pain in her drugged state. His hand then traveled up beneath her shirt and bra to caress her breast. A moan escaped his lips as he pulled away and saw the tear coursing down her cheeks.
'Wake up!!' the voice demanded again, confusing her as she continued to fight.
The lecherous smile he had once worn reappeared as his tongue trailed across her cheek, licking away the tear.
Elmyra's already pale face seemed paled further and she suddenly turned on her side, her stomach rebelled violently. Unfortunately for Zade, he was in the line of fire and before he could grab the bucket, his clothes became soiled with the entirety of her sickness.
Green eyes widened in horror, yet there was a sense of satisfaction in the back of her mind.
Zade's eyes darkened with fury as his hand came up. She closed her eyes tightly, prepared to take the blow, however it never came. A yelp caused her eyes to open just in time to see the blond fly backwards into the stone wall, knocking over a table and computer in the process.
Elmyra looked up to see the furious violet eyes of the teen boy glaring at Zade. He was still shaking from his treatment, but his fists were tightly clenched in preparation to defend her as the guard rushed into the cell, his weapon pointed at the boy.
Zade climbed to his feet. "You little shit! I'll kill you!" He bellowed but froze when he heard a voice from above at the same moment the boy collapsed, his collar flaring to life.
"FRASER! You will not touch my specimen! You got what you deserved!" Onika yelled through the intercom as he watched through the thick glass. "Leave that cell immediately and do as I told you…NOW!"
Zade glared at Onika, his hand reaching to his back trying to press away the pain caused by being tossed into the wall. His eyes then traveled to the boy who was now panting on the cold concrete floor. With a growl of anger, he growled and grabbed the armed guard dragging him outside of the cell and slamming the door shut.
.::-o-::.
Elmyra jumped when the door slammed before pushing herself off the cot. She winced as pain throbbed in her lower abdomen, but ignored it as she knelt at the boy's side. She rolled him onto his back and watched as his eyes fluttered open.
"Are you okay?" She asked, pushing his long black hair away from his face.
"…Yeah…I'm use…to it." He panted before pushing himself into a sitting position. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" He asked shyly.
Elmyra shook her head, and wrapped her arm around her middle. "No…I'm fine." She said a bit sadly. "Nothing a scalding hot shower can't take care of."
The sat next to each other for a moment, recovering for what they had just gone through until the sound of his voice broke the silence. "I heard someone…they told me to wake up…" He started. "and you were crying…"
The auburn haired woman's eyebrows rose at learning that he too had heard the voice, however she shook that though away. She reached over and took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Thank you for stopping him. You're quite brave." She said giving him a small smile. "My name is Elmyra, what's yours?"
"I'm Yoshi and you don't have to thank me Miss Elmyra. He had no right to touch you like that." The teen said firmly, his hand clenching and releasing before he began to whisper. "And until your friends come to save you, that man wont touch you again."
She nodded with a small smile and looked over to him as he closed his eyes. "Why are you in a place like this? How long have you been here?"
A sigh escaped Yoshi's lips as he drew his knees up to his chest. "I was working at Fort Condor…It's the only place I could find work and I've been here for a few weeks…but it seems like longer."
"How old are you Yoshi?" She asked.
"I'll be fourteen in a few months. My father died a couple months after Midgar was destroyed. We came from Wutai so that my father could help take care of the injured…but he was killed in a car accident. I don't have any other family so I've been living on my own." He said with a bit of sadness tinting his voice.
Elmyra wrapped her arm around his shoulder. "I'm sorry Yoshi…" She said.
The boy gave her a half smile. "Don't be sorry…I know my father loved me and he's with my mom now."
The pair continued to talk quietly about his family and she spoke of Aeris. After a while, she started to feel ill once more and Yoshi didn't fail to notice. "You need to rest." He pushed himself to his feet and helped her over to his bunk. "Rest Miss Elmyra, I'll make sure he doesn't touch you while you sleep…your friends will come and save you soon."
Elmyra smiled and placed her hand on his arm. "Yoshi, I wont leave you behind and when we're out of this place, I'll help you and I'm sure my friends will as well. You'll be able to live the life of an average kid your age." She said before lying back on the bunk.
From beneath a curtain of dark hair, the woman could see the violet glow of the boy's eyes. "I wish that were true Miss Elmyra, but after all the injections and tests, I don't think I'll ever feel 'average.'" He said quietly, a weary smile on his lips before his eyes closed.
Elmyra wanted to comfort him further, but the effects of the tranquilizer made itself know once again with a vengeance, pushing her into unconsciousness.
o-o-Author's Notes-o-o
DON'T KILL ME! –hides behind Vincent and casts big guard, barrier and mbarrier- Poor Elmyra but you see she's okay now because she's with Yoshi. Yes, Zade is a pervert, but he'll get what's coming to him…eventually.
You know, fan fic. Net has been acting really stupid as of late because of all their 'modifications', so as I was looking at the chapter 31 reviews, I was surprised at all the reviews I didn't get in my email.
BTW, I am looking for two things….
First, I need someone who speaks excellent/fluent Japanese can translate something for later in the story. That person will get credit of course and I would really appreciate it
Second, I also want to find an artist to do a few drawings for this fic. There is one picture in particular that I want to have drawn but I have no artistic talent. I will give more info if someone contacts me.
