Caretaker
The Russian Experiment 1
"How long do I have?"
"Two months."
"Great." With that said, the golden-haired girl strides to the ark gate where the others await her.
A couple months have passed since Greece. Seth has become used to having people around, and Caretaker's powers have grown. Many are suspicious of her, now that her Noah has grown. She doesn't share her powers with anyone, and rarely talks out loud to Shadow. She knows that today is the day, but she doesn't want to worry her friends. Most are okay with her having a Noah around, since their white-haired fellow does also. Eating her breakfast, Caretaker is called upon meeting with the head chief, Komui, for a meeting.
"You all know why you were called down here," Komui says as the two nod. Allen and Caretaker are working on this mission together, along with their little friend who watches the poor boy. Komui hands Allen the manilla folder and he reluctantly takes it.
"Russia, again? What's happened this time?" Allen asks whilst glancing upward towards the chief.
"Bodies being found dead, a weird chemical injected in them, died from rejection of the chemical, why does this involve us?" Caretaker asks confusingly.
"Your Noah companion, Gabrielle, has been sighted in the area. There may be some connection with the Noah there," Komui explains. "She may be the cause of this strange chemical."
"We know one person for the job," Allen says with a grin.
Caretaker glares at her white-haired companion as he stands there with a reassuring expression. They stand in front of lab 134 of St. Petersburg. Allen stands there waiting. She knocks. A faint crash occurs, then a sound of someone turning the handle. The door opens quickly, and there stands Selena. She has an angry scowl across her face that instantly turns into a bright smile upon seeing the two.
"Hey! I haven't seen you three in awhile! I was just tinkering around with some stuff," Selena says happily.
"We need to ask you some questions, could you help us?" Allen asks.
"Of course! Come inside," Selena says with a smile. She sits them down across from her at an island counter as she grabs some chemicals from the cabinet behind her. She sets them down, then grabs some items on the floor. She places them there too. "So, what do want to know?"
"Um, we were wondering if you knew anything on the murders recently," says Allen as he watches Selena work.
"Yes, actually, they've been in the papers recently. I actually was anointed to do the chemical testing that was found in the bodies," Selena explains with proud smile.
"Did you find out what it was?" Caretaker asks. Selena frowns.
"No unfortunately. I was really looking forward to finding out what it was, but I did, however, find traces of poison inside each victim," she explains.
"Do you know what the liquid does to body?" Allen asks.
"Some what, in a way. The chemical itself has the ability to change a persons DNA, making them super human, you could say. But, there's a catch; each one has rejected the chemical to a certain point. Some who have lived were injected with poison to keep them from telling what's been happening down there," Selena explains.
"Are any of these people important?" Caretaker asks.
"They're all civilians, most are just street livers with no money," Selena answers.
"Anything strange about their bodies after?" Allen asks.
"Yes, in every part of their joints, a needle marking was there. They must have to inject the chemical in every joint in order for it to work," Selena says with a shrug.
"So why do they have to kill their victims?" Caretaker asks.
"Well, these people probably want to be as secretive as possible. They don't want their work to come out yet, so they test it on simple civilians for awhile. Once they find the perfection in the product they want, they'll sell it for the bid bucks," Selena explains. "I suggest you head over to wherever it is you're going to. They could be doing it tonight as well."
"Alright, Allen, you take the back whilst Link takes the front. I'll go through the west side, sound good?" Caretaker asks. The two nod as they head towards their assigned destinations. They had arrived at Brandenburg Castle not too long after they finished talking to Selena. Caretaker sets up in a bush beside the castle.
"Something was off with that Selena girl," Shadow informs.
"Off? How so?" Caretaker asks whilst positioning herself in the bush.
"She had strange feeling around her, as though she were an akuma."
"Well, maybe she was one, but she didn't seem to want to kill us straight away."
"She could be a Noah then. I know she's hiding something, but I just don't know what."
"Strange. . . We'll discuss this later, we've got company." Men stalk around the building as Caretaker tries to see who they are. They must be scientists from the castle. She suddenly see black splotches in her eyes, and she falls to the ground.
Caretaker tries opening her eyes, but is blinded by a light that is directly in front of her. She opens them again, and sees machines all around her. She starts struggling to free herself, but sees that they've chained her wrists and feet to the table. Suddenly, men with needles start to inject her with the chemical. She screams then-
There stands Shadow.
"I'm taking over, you've had your chance," she says angrily.
"What?"
"You've completely passed out from the chemical they injected in you. Don't make me have to put you to sleep."
"You are not-"Shadow touches Caretaker's forehead.
Laughter escapes the golden-haired girl's mouth. The scientists that were just celebrating turn to stare at the now laughing exorcist. She lifts her body whilst throwing the needles from her body. Her hair turns a turquoise and skin a brown. Her forehead alined with seven crosses and her eyes golden. She stares at them all with a glare of death.
"I think it's time for some shadow play," Shadow says coldly.
Oh boy, Shadow's got Caretaker's body. What will happen next? Read the next chapter to find out! Review please, it's much appreciated!
