Chapter 2: Meeting Garfield

People laid dead on the ground behind her, the once white hallway was now stained with blood, along the hallway there was many metal doors, some containing others and some containing computers and science labs. She ran down a hallway, red lights going off around her. She wanted to hold her hands over her sensitive ears, but her hands were busy waving and killing the doctors and guards that tried to stop her.

"Don't kill her, she is too important!"

Dr. Wilson's voice echoed in the hallway. Raven didn't care, she ran. She had run the hallways many times and had memorised the way out, a few months back she had found the exit, but was knocked out.

She pushed her hands at a few guards with guns pointed at them. Their heads suddenly fell off. Blood poured out of the beheaded body, before they were cut into perfect slices and fell to the floor. She had never really killed anyone, but the black energy that surrounded them now gave them the last breath before death took them away.

Raven ran around the last corner to the exit, she was so close. But she stopped. Dr. Wilson stood in front of the door, his arms crossed behind his back.

"Subject 0097… Why do you wish to escape?" He asked with a growl.

Raven hissed at him, dark energy surrounded his guards as she squeezed the life and blood out of them, they exploded and blood and organs covered the walls.

"The Subject should go back to her room…" He said.

Raven hissed again. She knew she couldn't kill Slade Wilson, but she could hurt him. Grinning, she let her black energy incase the man and throw him into the wall. She made a run for it, breaking up the glass doors. She ran into a parking lot, the place was open and only had three cars.

Racing over the parking lot, she ran into the woods on the other side.

The laboratory had been placed far away from any cities, three hours away to be exact, and that was with car. They had planned to place it on an island, but it would be harder for the workers to come and go. Slade Wilson placed the lab in the forest so if anyone somehow escaped the forest would stop them.

But not her, she was new to the world, but she knew how to run. She may not have been able to talk, but escape had she tried so many times now it was her second nature.

She ran into the forest, she could hear the sound of more alarms going off and the angry voice of Slade Wilson.

"Catch that girl! I will not start this project over, she is the success and I will tolerate damage, but not kill!"

xXx

Mark and Garfield had taken the black car. Garfield had begged and forced himself into the car before Mark could stop him.

Mark knew that Raven didn't trust anyone than him and therefore she would kill anyone in her way.

They had only been driving for two hours before they noticed police along the way. Mark opened the window next to one of the officers.

"What is going on?" He asked.

"Wilson's subject escaped, he want it back alive and mostly unharmed. It ran into the forest, we have as many men as we could with knockout guns." The man said.

"What?! Call them back! NOW!" Mark yelled.

"Relax, sir. We have this under contro-" He turned to the mic on his chest.

"S-Sir! We're getting killed, she is here… S-She is killing without touching us! She-!"

The call was cut off and the man looked at Mark.

"She was designed as a weapon, she can kill with looks!" Mark yelled. "She doesn't trust anyone, you need to be careful and approached with care." Mark said.

"Wait, where are you going anyways?"

"I'm heading to the lab, the Subject trust me!" He drove off.

When they reached the lab, the entire place was taken over by police and even the army.

"Is she really that dangerous?" Garfield asked.

"Yes, now please! Stay in the car!"

"No way, I want to help!" Garfield said as he jumped out of the car before Mark could argue.

"Garfield Logan!" Mark yelled as he saw his son run over to the police. Groaning he ran after him. "Garfield get back in the car!" Mark yelled.

"No, I want to help!" Garfield said as he looked into the forest.

"Garfield, she can kill! I am not going to risk-!" Shots and screams from the forest broke the two arguing off.

"No! Don't shot her!" Slade yelled.

"It won't kill her, Wilson. She can heal, a shot that would kill someone puts her out of consciousness." Mark said as he looked into the forest.

"So she is invincible?" Garfield asked.

"Yes, well… No, she can be killed, just not by shots." Mark rubbed his chin.

xXx

After hours of trying to put her out, Garfield had started to wander, his mind had gone into the comic books he read all the time. She could be a superhero or something, he thought.

"Mew…" Garfield looked around, he had started to wander into the forest while his mind was lost, now he was panicking. He remember his father say she mewed like a cat.

He looked around in worry. "R-Raven?" He asked, he was lucky to remember her name. "I am not going to hurt you. I am unarmed." He said.

Something moved above him, he fell to the ground in shock. "GHA!" He yelped. He ripped his phone out of his pocket and turned on the flashlight. Flashing it around he searched for the girl.

A flash ran past him, he moved it along and found a form standing just outside the light's reach. "I am not going to hurt you."

Raven took a few steps forward, her figure moved into the light. Garfield almost lost his phone as his eyes widened. She was beautiful, she looked hurt and broken, but she was pure beautiful. "Wow…" He whispered.

"Mew?"

"Oh! Uh… Should I call for the others or…?" She hissed at the mention of the doctors and Garfield took a step back. "Or not…" He scratched his neck before taking his phone. He called his father. "Hey Dad…"

"Garfield! Where are you?!"

"I found Raven… She is…" He turned around and saw the wall of the lab. "Behind the lab, please… Come alone…" He hung up.

When he looked at Raven again, he found her only a few feet away from him. "Gha!" He yelped.

"G-Garfield…" She said or attempted to.

"Y-Yes… That is my-!" Then it hit him. "That was your first human word…" He gasped.

"Garfield…" She said again.

"Garfield!" Both turned to see Mark running towards them.

"M-Mark…" Raven muttered.

"D-Did you just…" Mark muttered.

"She spoke human, dad… She said my name." Garfield walked over to his dad.

"Garfield." Raven said again. "Mark."

"That is wonderful…" Mark said with wide eyes. "She spoke…"

Garfield took a step forward and reached out his hand. Raven looked at it for a while before she gently placed hers in his.

"She's ice cold…" Garfield muttered.

"I don't want to take her back there… Stay here with her, I will come back." They did. A few minutes later Mark drove close into the building and waved for them to come. Nobody else had seem to notice them. Garfield dragged Raven along to the car and helped her inside in the back seat. Garfield climbed inside next to her.

Both bent down so Mark could drive away without getting seen. They were well aware of that what they were doing was down right illegal.

But Mark was done, he was done putting the girl into the torture of Dr. Wilson.

People called me out that the story is inspired by 'Elfen Leid' and yes, I saw it on a countdown video on 'Top 10 Anime powers' I haven't seen the anime, but it looks awesome! I did base it around Raven, or I tried...
