SUBJECT 2

Chapter 2.5: The Signal

Hey everyone! So, I wanted to welcome you all back with another chapter in the Subject 2 story! This story, however, will be between Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, as it will focus on Donald Davenport getting strange signals from an unknown individual due to Michael's escape from the labs. Also, just so there isn't confusion, the chapters before this, this chapter as well as the next couple to a few chapters will be part of the Sweet Freedom arc, in which Michael will keep exploring what it is to be free from all the stuff he had to go through as well as exploring new areas that he never thought were possible. This will be a very short chapter due to it being in-between chapters.

Michael: Brandon does not own Lab Rats: Elite Force, Lab Rats, or Mighty Med. He only owns me and any other OC he has made. Enjoy the story!

Donald Davenport was at his home in Mission Creek, California. Douglas was out taking care of the Bionic Academy while Donald was working on some company-related stuff. When Donald was looking at his stock sheets, he noticed a strange signal coming out of his laptop.

"What the heck was that?" Donald asked himself as the signal kept coming out of his laptop.

The signal kept coming out of Donald's laptop, as it was distracting him from his work.

"Warning! Warning! Subject 2 is still out there! Find him and bring him back to the research facility! We must do more experiments!" The signal broadcasted, while Donald had a confused look on his face.

"Who the heck is Subject 2?" Donald questioned. "I have to go tell the kids."

Donald then headed off to the Bionic Academy after the signal stopped, hoping that there would be something that could help him figure out what was going on and what the deal was with the Subject 2 information.

Donald arrived at the academy, as he wanted to talk to the kids and Douglas about the strange signal he heard on his laptop back home. Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo, and Douglas greeted Donald with a big group hug, as they were happy and eager to see him at the academy.

"It's so good to see you again, Big D!" Leo said with an excited smile on his face.

"Thanks, Leo," Donald replied. "That means a lot."

"So, Mr. Davenport, what are you doing here?" Chase asked. "We didn't expect to see you due to your meetings all week."

"Well, I wanted to talk to you guys about something… something very important." Donald said.

"Well, what is it?" Bree asked.

"I'm so glad you asked," Donald replied. "You see, I was working on my laptop, checking all the stock papers, when I get a strange signal coming out of my laptop."

"Strange signal? Like one of those things you feel when your ear is muffled?" Adam asked.

"Adam, it's… you know what, it isn't worth it anymore," Bree stated.

"Well, there was something strange about it, all right. It was a radio signal coming through my laptop, stating something about a person named Subject 2," Donald stated. "I'm not sure who this subject is, but I really need your guys' help in order to figure out who this person is and what these other people want with him."

"All this subject stuff is strange… really strange," Douglas said. "Could it be an experiment the government was working on?"

"Not that I know of, unless… unless it was Krane," Chase said.

"It couldn't be Krane," Donald reassured them. "It's one of those top-secret things that a lot of people don't talk about; it's sort of infamous, I haven't heard anything like this before."

"Well, I did hear in old newspapers that animals were abducted by mysterious people in vehicles after their owners got killed," Leo stated. "It's not that famous in the news from so long ago, but I keep hearing reports that they've been starting to do it again."

"Those poor animals!" Bree said. "They don't have any owners anymore and God knows only what those people are doing to them. We have to save them!"

"Bree's right," Chase said. "Those animals don't deserve to be experimented on, just like how Krane tried to turn the soldiers into his army to take over the world."

"You guys are absolutely right," Donald stated. "There's more to this than we know, and we need to find out what's going on. I'll talk with the president and see what he knows, while you guys put on your mission suits. If those people come here, everyone needs to be on high alert."

"Roger that," Chase replied. "Let's go, guys."

The team got into their mission suits and followed Donald and Douglas out of the academy to find out who is experimenting on the abducted animals.

Meanwhile, in the secret facility, a warden is talking to the person in charge of the experiments. The man in charge is an albino African-American man, with a light brown beard as he wears a suit with tuxedo shoes. The warden is going over the escape to the man, but their conversation has mixed feelings.

"So, you let that cat out and you couldn't do a thing to stop him?" The man asked the warden.

"Sir, we tried, really! But the subject knocked our Jeeps on the side of the road! He got away from us fast enough to…" The warden said, before the man started choking the warden.

"You messed up big time, damn it! The question is why. Why did you fail? Was it because you wanted someone to torture? To make sure he suffered like your late wife did? Or was it collecting my loyalty? Because it certainly wasn't about AVENGING YOUR FAMILY!" The man said, before letting go of the warden's neck. The warden coughed after being witness to the brutal attack on his neck.

"Sir, what do you want me to do?" The warden asked.

"Find Subject 2. I'll rip his heart out my damn self." The man stated.

"On it, sir!" The warden replied.

The warden exited the main area, while the man looked on the monitors to see where Michael had gone.

"Where are you, you filthy stray?" The man asked out loud.

And, there you have it, guys! I hope you enjoyed the in-between chapter! Stay tuned next time for Chapter 3! You guys are going to love it!
