A man wearing all black walked into Sgt. Johnson's office. The Sgt. turned around and stared at the man.
"What's wrong?" he asked, "Why are you here?"
The man didn't say anything, but moved closer. He had one hand behind his back, as if hiding something.
"What are you doing?" the Sgt. asked, his voice shaking somewhat. The man didn't answer. He rushed the Sgt. and stuck him through the heart with a knife.
The Sergeant didn't even have time to react. He gasped, his hand clutching his chest. Blood poured from the wound, seeping through the Sgt.'s clothes. Falling to his hands and knees, he looked up at the intruder as his vision began to fade.
The Sergeant finally collapsed to the floor, no longer breathing.
Elsewhere
Johnny walked up to the girl's tank, and stared at the console. The screen started to fuzz and crackle. Next, words came across the screen that read 'liquid draining process engaged.'
He looked up at her, the green liquid was beginning to drain from the tank. Johnny smiled to himself. But then, he caught his reflection off of one of the screens. His eye color had turned to liquid silver, he jumped back from the monitor in surprise.
When he looked back at the screen, he noticed that there was a file that read 'Nanite Experiments'. Johnny clicked on it and quickly skimmed through the content.
Looking back at the other screen, it read 'process finished'. Johnny looked back up at her, and walked to the container. The thick glass then began to lower itself. She was still attached to the wires, hanging from them.
She opened her eyes, something was different, she was no longer in the liquid. The tank had drained and the glass was gone. All that was left were the wires and tubes connected to her body. She stood up and looked around. The first thing she saw was Johnny, and to her surprise, she saw his eyes. They were silver.
"What happened to you're eyes?" she questioned, smiling.
"That's a good question" he said, also smiling. He helped her to take off all of the tubes and wires and helped her down from the base of the tank.
Then they both realized that she was pretty much naked, with nothing but the latex top and shorts.
Johnny, blushing furiously, looked around the room and found some drawers that had a label saying 'Experiment 1 – Clothing'. Reaching in, he found a towel and some clothes. He pulled them out and handed them to her and then turned around.
"These are mine . . ." she said, absently, drying herself off and putting the clothes on.
When Johnny turned around, he gasped. She was beautiful, her long black hair, still wet, and her liquid amethyst eyes. . .
"What?" she asked, annoyed.
"Nothing!"
Then, quite suddenly, a man came in – he was one of the guards.
"Murderer!" He shouted, pointing at Johnny, "Murderer!" he shouted again.
Johnny panicked, grabbing the girl by the arm and started running.
"Hey! I can run by myself you know!" she said, yanking her arm away and darting a head of him.
They turned down hallway after hallway. Soon they passed what looked to be a circuit box and Johnny stopped, the girl, unnoticing, continued running. Johnny went closer to the box and stared at it. A few seconds later, the girl, running backwards, came back.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Maybe we can shut the power off," John said, pointing at the box.
"Very smart Beta, move over." She said
"Beta? You read that too?" He said, moving over a little, to give her room to examine the box.
"What else was I too do when I was suspended?" she offered, working to get the top off of the box. There were a bunch of wires underneath.
"Okay, the red one or the blue one?" she asked.
"All of them!" Johnny yelled, yanking all the wires out. Suddenly the hallways went black, then a red warning light came on.
"Nice," she said and they took off running again. They came to a closed door, it had a keypad.
"Let's go!" Johnny yelled at her.
"Stop yelling, or I'll leave you here, Beta!"
"Don't call me that!" Johnny reached for her. To do what, he wasn't sure, but he was interrupted.
"They're down here! This way!"
Panic over swept Johnny again and he looked at her.
"What?"
"How did they find us that fast?" Johnny asked. He looked up and noticed that the red light on the cameras was still flashing.
"The cameras! They're still working! How?"
"Why don't you try and shut them off? I'm kind-of busy" She responded, working with the keypad, trying to unlock the door.
Johnny looked at the camera, his silver eyes glowing. The camera fizzed, skipped, then it turned off, the lens cracked.
"Nice job, my turn," she looked at the key pad, concentrating. It started beeping and then random number combinations started going across the small screen. Something clicked and all the doors behind them closed, and the door in front of them, opened. They looked at each other, silver eyes staring into silver eyes.
"Okay, let's go," she said. Then they ran. They were out side in a matter of minutes.
"Great! Sure, we get out, but where stuck on a fucking island!" she yelled.
"Calm down!" he yelled back at her, and looked around, something clicking in his mind. 'Maybe. . .' he thought, and looked up.
"Flame on" he said softly. She screamed.
"Johnny, you're on fire!"
"I know!" He said excitedly, and he took off, but stopped. He could get out of here, but what about her?
"They're over here, it's the only place we haven't looked," someone said.
The girl looked up at Johnny, panicking. But then she remembered something:
'Will they and it's new skeleton interfere with it's transforming process. . .'
'Transformation process?' she sighed, having no idea what it meant. She looked up at Johnny's flaming figure.
'That's it!' She thought, excited, and willed herself to become a bird.
She felt funny. Her bones were heavy, but then they were light and hollow. She could feel them cracking and reforming. Her entire body was shrinking, and it felt as if she was being pulled apart and put together again, over and over. Her entire structure was changing, morphing.
Her skin grew feathers and her jaw turned into a beak. Her legs thinned out and got scaly with claws. She had become a hawk.
Johnny's jaw was on the ground. Never, in his entire life, had he seen something like that. Well, it's not like he could remember his entire or anything, but it was amazing nonetheless. He quickly regained his composure.
"Nice show, little bird, can we fly away now?" Johnny asked.
"-Shut up-," she said to him.
"How did you do that?" he asked puzzled.
"-Don't know, don't care, can we leave now?-"
"Whatever you say, little bird," and they were off.
At the Baxter Building
"Any word from Johnny?" Reed asked Sue. She was sitting on the balcony, looking out over the city.
"No . . ." she said, then burst into tears, "It's like he dropped off the face of the earth! He won't answer his cell phone, he won't call, nothing! Why won't he even answer his cell phone?"
"I don't know, Sue, I don't know" he said, hugging her tightly.
'Where are you Johnny?' Sue thought desperately, 'Where?'
