Cloudysmile : Hello, everyone! Are you still with us? First of all, I want to say thank you to my faithful readers ( piggythelaw, animegal1357, and SheWolfSwift )for their review in every chapters before this one.
This is chapter 5 for you guys and everyone. I hope it came out okay because I had tried to rewrite it over and over since I'm afraid that Nightwing would act OOC in this story which I have to say sorry for this because DC comics aren't avaliable in my country Y^Y. But, I still manage to do some research on his personality on wiki which I hope that it would came out okay.
Also, please R&R for me. Okay? I need some support for you guys to write this story and I'm still looking for beta reader who wouldn't mind to help me about grammar or vocabulary. Y^Y
Alright, enjoy the show, everyone! I hope you love this chapter!
Warning : English is my second language! There will be OOC ness of Young Justice's character.
Chapter 5
Madness
What the hell happened here?...
Nightwing was speechless at the scene behind the door that the dark purple slim slipped through in front of his masked eyes. There was blood everywhere which some of it mixed with the slim. For some reason, the source of light in here didn't go down like the upper part of this building which showed that each side of the hallway was the cell that he assumed it was used to held the subject for experiment. Batman walked pass Nightwing and checked each cells in here for clue without fear. Although Nightwing knew from his experiences that he and Batman was used to seeing the thing like this, he still couldn't shake those dreadful feeling about it.
" Nightwing." Batman called him in monotone voice but with a hint of annoying that Nightwing didn't focus on his work before open one of those cells in the hallway. Nightwing rushed to Batman and saw that there was a middle-aged scientist curled himself on the floor beside the bed of cell. His whole body was shaking with fear as he hid my face under his arms that pulled both of his knees to chest and he mumbled something uncomprehendingly. The name on his left chest showed the man was Dr. Luis Sera, Biologist of Outer Space Creature and Mythology.
Mythology?...Since when aliens and angels had a tea party?...
Nightwing thought as he tried to understand why these two things connected to each other until Dr. Sera stopped mumbling and raised his head from his arms. The fear showed on Dr. Sera's face clearly as his mouth was trembling as if he was saying something but he didn't have enough strength to talk.
" Dr. Sera. Tell me what happened here? Why was this part kept as a secret?" Batman crotched down on a knee to make an eye contact with Dr. Sera.
Dr. Sera startled when he saw Batman's mask. And then, he started to murmured and shake his head slowly.
" I'm sorry...I'm..so...so...sorry..." He said with a fading voice that he rarely heard what he said if the room wasn't quite.
" What do you mean, doc? Whom do u say sorry for? And what happened to everyone?" Dr. Sera looked at Nightwing. His brown eyes flashed with fear as if he was scared for what Nightwing said before they were calm down.
" The file...it was in Dr. Sinclair's office. It will explain everything you have to know..."
" Where is his office?" Batman asked.
" On the left of the end of this hallway. I will lead you to there." Dr. Sera slowly got on his feet and walked to the office. Batman and Nightwing followed quietly. Once they were inside the office, Dr. Sera rushed to the computer and checked the file before started to transferred data from the computer to small black flash drive. Batman took a peep at the data as he stood behind Dr. Sera. From what he skim over the data on the computer, he saw that they were all about possible theories that there were some type of alien came to earth and passed on the knowledge to make them had civilization which was carved into some stone tablet which he recognized that they were Slavic ( A/N : I don't know much about the difference between Slovakia and Slovenia but please no hard feeling about my plot. I don't know which country Morana came from. Y^Y).
" What is project ' Chaos '?" Dr. Sera stopped typing and glared at Nightwing. Nightwing glared back, waiting for the answer from his mouth.
" It's...I-I will explain once we get out of this place, sir" Nightwing squinted at him questionably but he decided to drop the subject about that project and looked at Batman before he decided to ransack the office quietly until he found something and put it into the pocket of his utility belt. Batman glared at Dr. Sera's from his back as he was typing something on the computer until the monitor showed that transference was completely.
" Alright! Let's get out of this place." Dr. Sera's face showed relief when he saw that and took the flash drive from computer.
" Nightwing." He nodded at Batman, knowing what he had to do and used holo computer on his wrist to show the map again.
" If I were right, there should be the dynamo that still worked created electricity which was enough for using the lift. After all, you guys decided this place to have other dynamos to help you conduct your experiment on those people, right?" Nightwing said as the last part was intended to refer to Dr. Sera who was shivered at his tone.
" It's not a time or a place to deal with it, Nightwing." Batman said as he kept Nightwing's emotion in check before he looked at the map on the holo computer.
" Alright, let's go"
…...
No...It's not here...
The woman whose whole body was covered into dark purple swept everything on the metal table in some random lab angrily. Her companion, the tentacle that was like a loyalty pet to her pulled unlucky guard who had tried to free himself from her pet closer for interrogating him about her precious items...
" Where did you mortal being keep my things?!" She hissed in inhuman voice at human as she pulled him close to her face.
" I-...I don't know...please...Let me go..." The guard tried to beg her for his life as the tentacle tightened around his neck until he rarely breathed or talked to her...
The woman laughed loudly at the guard which sent the chill to his spine as the tentacle started wrapped around his whole body until it left only his face. The guard screamed with fear as he looked at her frighteningly, begging her for his life again...
Just like a dog...begging his master for the mercy...
The woman thought as she smirked wickedly before she beckoned the nearest tentacle came to her.
" Make him suffer...pain...scream.." She ordered in some foreign language that the guards couldn't understand since all he heard was something like a soft whispering.
The tentacle seemed to understand her and responded by nodding its head or tail before wrapped rest of the guard's face tightly until his skull was crushed completely like the rest of his body and threw his body out of her eyes.
' Stop! This is too much! '
The human host of this body named ' Rou Hammond ' screamed at her in her head for her action. The female alien who controlled Rou's body made 'tsk' sound with feeling annoyed how this human girl changed her mind. First, she wanted to take revenge on those heartless guards. Now, she doesn't want her to kill them.
' Why? Why did you change your mind so easily? Don't you hate these people who treated you like a lab animal? Don't you want them to feel like what you felt when they tortured you ? '
The alien argued with her as she reminded her to what those people had done to her. Rou was quiet a little as if she was trying to say something to her and she was right.
' But, they are still human. I know what they had done to me. Listen, all I want right now is getting out of this place, okay? Please...'
Rou begged the alien even there was uncertainty in her voice but the alien couldn't help to agree with her since there was nothing they can do.
' You're right, Rou. Let's go.'
The alien ordered her all of her tentacles to be gone which made the body of dead guard fell down. However, she didn't care about it and walked out from the lab without noticing that there was a security camera focused on every movements of her.
…...
" You are mine! You pathetic guinea pig!" Rou screamed in pure pain after she had been electrocuted by the invisible electric field which had high electricity appeared from nowhere once she ran to the hallway that would lead her to the elevator following the map she got in the office of B5 floor.
Dr. Sinclair, the man she believed that she had killed him already somehow managed to survived from fatal injuries that she gave him in that lab. Some parts of his white gown was covered by crimson of his blood from the deep scar. His face had some minor cuts from her claws. His glasses were broken but still in usable condition. His hand that had been stabbed by her claw was bandaged by handkerchief. The other hand of his was holding some remote control that might activated those invisible electric field. He grasped her by hair and pulled her to meet his angry face.
" Do you know how much valuable are you, my dear?" The alien who possessed Rou's body looked at him through his eyes indifferently even she was still hurt from being electrocuted by those field. Dr. Sinclair used the back of his other hand touched her face lovely but it made her feel disgusted to guts and even more when he griped tightly around her neck and nestled in it. However, she still decided not to let him know what she felt.
" Don't you know that you can take over the world?! With those powers, you can make those boy scouts or girl scouts like Justice league look like a small baby with a toy or small magic trick?!" The alien kept Rou's face calm as she was listening the mad scientist raved about how precious she was this. How precious she was that. But, that didn't interest as much as how blood thirsty she was and she wanted to sliced this man in a half piece.
While she was about to attack him again, he pressed the switch on the remote in his hand which electrocuted her again. The alien screamed in agony again and widen her eyes in realization that Dr. Sinclair had put electric collar when he talked to her. The alien was lost her conscious which made Rou could control her body again. Rou's breath was shaking as every fibers of her muscles screamed in pain for being electrocuted for twice.
" Hmm...how disappointed..." Dr. Sinclair said with a fake pouted tone as he watched Rou who barely breathed and was about to faith because of pain.
Suddenly, Rou felt a shape pain into her forearm which caused her look at her at it and saw the empty syringe was filling with dark crimson of her blood. Dr. Sinclair pulled it off her arm once he was satisfied by the amount of blood sample he got from her.
" FREEZE!" The voice of another person in the hallway caused Dr. Sinclair left his eyes from admiring the blood sample and looked at the man in black Kevlar with a blue bird with its wings expanded and his abdomen area was colored in light grey .
" Ah...what a pleasant surprise...Nightwing. I was about to make a surprise for you and Justice League by my creation...But, she failed me and went rioted. Never appreciated for my gift..."
" Well, I can see why she was unhappy. Your taste in giving a present for women was worst!. Need some advices? Flowers, flowers, flowers, and diamonds...they are girl's best friend than us...Thrust me..." The man who was called Nightwing taunted jokingly.
" Dr. Sinclair, please stop this madness! They knew the existence of our project." Dr. Sera said as he begged Dr. Sinclair to surrender.
" Oh no...no...no..Dr. Sera...The project will continue and no one will stop us from processing our project.." Dr. Sinclair said calmly before he showed them the blood sample in the syringe that he got from Rou.
" Witness the power of god..." He raised the syringe to them before emptying it by taking those blood into his mouth. Dr. Sinclair smiled evily before his body shook violently. Suddenly, the dark purple tentacle came out from his mouth as the slim which the same color was came out from ears, eyes, and mouth, too until he was covered by it completely and became cocoon as Nightwing, Batman, and Dr. Sera watched in awe...
