I'm Sooooo sorry its taken me this long to update this! I've been working on my first ever serious Alex Rider fanfiction you see, and that sort of took up all the time I should have spent updating this.
I tired twice to write the next chapter for this, but they both went wrong you see.
Hope you like this one though, the idea was suggested by nikigrl-123
"Are you sure this is safe?" Alex asked Smithers for about the 20th time. "Positive." Smithers replied cheerfully. Couldn't be safer."
"I thought safe things tended to be less spiky?"
"It's a needle, Alex. They are supposed to be 'spiky'. And think of all the good injections do, stopping you getting all those nasty disease!"
Aren't you supposed to test that sort of thing out first though?"
"I am doing!"
"On me?"
"Yes!"
"Why me?"
"Why not?"
"Are you absolutely sure it's safe?"
"Yes! Don't worry…"
"And yet I do…"
"This wont do any harm, in fact, it should enhance you incredibly, make you able do all the things you never dreamed were possible!"
"Like leading a normal life?"
"Apart from that one. Now roll up your sleeve, that's it, a little higher.."
"Are you really, really sure its…Ow! That hurt!"
"Well it is spiky Alex!"
Alex watched as Smithers put a little bit of cotton wool on the puncture to catch the blood. "What this thing supposed to do anyway?"
"Well the theory goes that that solution, mixed with the pigeon DNA in it should…well have some interesting effects, lets say…"
"Pigeon? Pigeon! You stuck pigeon DNA in me?"
"That's right!"
"Pigeon! Why not Falcon or Hawk DNA?"
"Couldn't do that, too many endangered species. And pigeon was very easy to get hold of."
"Endangered? I'm endangered! How many teenage spies do you see walking round the streets?
"Well…"
"Bwark, bwaaaaarrrkkk, bwak, bwak, bwak…"
"Huh? Why are you making chicken noises?"
Smithers watched in surprise as ginger feathers started to sprout all over Alex. After a couple of minutes he looked like a guy in a chicken custom, complete with wattle and comb.
"Oops… there is a small chance I might have got the pigeon and chicken DNA syringes mixed up… Now lets see… Aha! Here it is!"
"Bok ,bok, bok, BWAAAARK!"
Smithers plunged the needle into Alex's feather arm. Or should that be wing?
"There you go."
The change only took a few seconds to take effect. Soon the ginger feathers all turned to various grays and the feathers on his arms/ wings grew a lot longer.
"There you go!" Smithers said happily.
The Alex- pigeon-boy glared at him with beady orange eyes.
"Now lets see what some of the others do!"
It sounded as though Alex swore, but it was hard to say anything with a beak rather then a mouth.
"What about a bit of snake DNA? Corn snake I think…"
Once again a syringe embedded itself in his arm.
Next thing he knew, all the feathers were gone, to be replaced seconds later by scales that bubbled up from under his skin.
"Oh ssssssshit, what have you dontttthhhh?" Alex hissed
"Don't like it? Lets try another!"
One minute he was part snake, the next Alex was gasping on the floor, part gold fish.
Then baboon.
Then cat.
Then snail.
Then hamster.
Then whale.
Then Lion.
Then Blackbird.
Then horse.
Then crocodile.
Then fly.
Then dog.
Then ameba.
Then elephant.
Then chipmunk.
Then deer.
Then fox.
Then rhino.
Then Tiger.
It was at this point that Alex managed to get his wits about him enough to grab a syringe of his own.
As Smithers stuck another one in him, he managed to get him back in the leg.
He heard the gadget master cry out in surprise, and without stopping to see what eh became, Alex shot off.
He ran all the way home, faster then he had ever managed before and locked himself in his room.
Two hours later Wolf knocked on the door. "Hey, Cub? I know you're in there. Get out here; Eagles bought pizza for us all!"
There was no response. "Alex, if your not out in five minutes I will knock the door down!"
He wasn't out in five minutes. "Come on Cub! Get here. NOW!"
Just as he was about to start hammering on the door, the door knob started to turn and Alex slowly appeared, wearing a hat.
It wasn't until he had dragged Alex into the kitchen, were Eagle and Fox were (Snake had just gone to answer the phone in the sitting room), that he noticed the hat.
"What you got that on for?" Wolf growled, snatching it off his head.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Alex cried out, too late, turning round to see were the hat had been thrown.
Three men gasped. "What the hell?!"
Alex turned round sheepishly and put his hands on his head. There was no way of hiding the big, fluffy grey ears there though, nor the bushy grey tail they had all glimpsed as he turned round.
They stared at him in shock as Snake walked back into the room. "Hey, Alex, MI6 wasn't to know if you've got anything to do with one of their staff half turning into an Armadillo…huh? What you got on your head? And behind you?"
Alex tugged at the fused on ears fruitlessly and moaned in despair, "Wolf ears and tail!"
Thanks for reading, sorry its so short and took so long.
