Chapter 6: The Nature of the Beast

Sparks flew around as Danny worked on a piece of equipment with a miniature blowtorch. The device looked to be a metallic hand with skeletal digits ending in sharp clawed points. Danny was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice the door to his lab opening. Danny, when not working on the various other research projects taking place at the island facility, had taken over a small laboratory to work on whatever he wished. So naturally this was the first place Blackfire checked. She had a small smile on her face as she floated towards him.

She tapped on his shoulder and once he turned his head, she instantly locked her lips with his. Danny was at first surprised but soon wrapped his arms around her as they deepened their kiss. It lasted for a few moments before Danny broke it off. "Well this is a nice surprise," he commented with a small, flirtatious smile as he turned off the blowtorch.

"Well I wanted to know what you were getting into." She said as she turned her attention to the device. "What is it anyway?"

"Well at that moment it is just a skeletal frame but when it's finished it would be a multipurpose cybernetic arm." He answered as he started to have tapped the fingers making them flinch and twitch like a organic hand.

"Impressive," she complimented.

Danny merely smiled. "Well it has a loooooong way to go." He answered. As the door opened the two turned their attention as Lex entered the lab. "Uncle," he said with a slight nod. "Do you need anything?"

"Yes." He answered. "Apparently Slade's little job for you has been getting a lot more attention than I would like. The Justice League is already looking into it."

"I was told to send a message. I suppose I did my job well," Danny answered.

"A bit too well." Lex answered. "They found your knives, though it would be a shame if something more...serious came up and distracted them from looking into the death of a currycombed world leader. Wouldn't it?" He asked.

"I could handle it." Danny answered.

"Good." He said as he turned around to leave.

Danny stared at the door for a few moments before Blackfire came to him. "So what are we going to do?" She asked.

"I know what I am going to do," he said as he turned to her. "But it's something that I want to do alone. I want you to keep an eye on Lex."

"Do you think he'll try something now?"

"Perhaps not," he answered. "But ever since Ville disappeared he's been acting strange. I don't want to end up on a metal slab again just because Daddy Warbucks isn't having his way."

"I understand." Blackfire said as she kissed on him the cheek.

"Thank you," he said as he returned her kiss.

Few Days Later

A security guard overlooked several monitors showing various feed from the cameras. He sighed as it appeared to be another uneventful late night at Alva Industries. He was getting ready to get up for a cup of coffee when he noticed a figure phasing through a wall on one of the monitors. He quickly lurched forward and grabbed his radio. "Don, I saw something on camera 12 on the second floor, respond?"

"I'll check it out Petey," Don answered. Petey watched the camera till Don finally arrived. He looked over the area and checked the rooms. Don turned to the camera and shrugged at Petey as he pulled out his radio. "I got nothing, what did you see exactly?" He asked.

"I...I don't know, it went through the wall." He answered.

Don laughed. "Seeing ghosts are we?" He asked in a joking manner before something grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. Petey stared on in shock and horror as Don's neck was snapped and he wastossed to the side by an unseen force. Petey was about to call in the other guards to warn them of the intruder but he soon felt hands grab his own neck and started to squeeze the life out of him. His attacker seemingly faded into existence with evil red eyes and hair white as snow and skin pale as death with a gem in the center of his forehead.

With a quick flick of the figures hands, Petey's neck was snapped. Danny started to hum to himself as he pulled out a small device out of his pocket and plugged it into the nearby computer. Eventually the screen's images became static only to be replaced by blackness and red digital numbers counting down from 20 minutes. Save for one camera that was focused on a heavy metal door with the word 'freezer' above it. "And so it begins." Danny said to himself as he went straight to the freezer.

He phased through the floor till he reached the door. Looking at the heavy set door, he started to strip down till he was naked. He took a deep sigh as he phased through the door into the freezer. The freezer was full of beakers and other materials filled with chemicals. He went to the corner and closed his eyes and waited for the timer to go down.

Up in the skyline of Dakota City, the resident hero named Static hovered above. The metahuman rode on small metal saucer as he scanned the city below looking for any potential threats from either the gangs or other metahumans, or locally named 'Bang Babies', causing trouble in the city. "Static," he heard his friend Richie or 'Gear' called him up on his earpiece.

"What's up man?" He answered. "Got anything?"

"Um...yeah, you could say that. Get over to the Alva building over on the High Hills."

Static sighed heavily. "Greaaaaat," he said tiredly as he changed his course. Though it wasn't long till he could see what he was called out for. He landed on a roof that Gear was on staring at that building. "What the hell happened here?" He asked as he stared at the building. The Alva building was completely frozen and deteriorated, almost as if it was scavenged from the bottom of the Arctic Sea.

Gear shrugged off Back-Pack, his robotic drone, as hooked onto his back. "I can't really say. All I could get was people saying that the building was starting to freeze over, rotting away at the foundation. I sent Back-Pack out but I couldn't get anything."

"Is there anyone in there?" Static asked.

"A few security guards, It's somehow 15 below in there. If they aren't saved they will die," Gear answered.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going." Static answered as he went down towards the building with Gear following suit.

Static and Gear came to a window where the ice wasn't thick, Gear used Back-Pack to cut a hole into it allowing the two to enter the building. Instantly, a blast of bone-chilling temperature hit them like a brick wall. "H-Holy hell! It's almost like this entire place has a localized environment!" Gear shouted. "This shouldn't even be possible!" He said as he activated a set off an environmental stability feature within his suit as well as Statics to prevent them from, freezing to death.

"We can figure out how later, let's just go in and save some people." Static answered. As Back-Pack came off of Gear's back and started to head to control room. Gear followed and saw a body of one of the guards at a desk with several monitors, all of them ticking down from two minutes and a screen focusing on a heavy door.

"Hey check this out!" Gear called out to Static. Static came in and saw the set up before checking on the guard.

"This guy is dead," he said as he turned to the monitor. "What's that?" He asked.

"It seems whatever did this has something to do with that freezer." Gear said as he pointed to the monitor not showing a timer.

"Okay, you can take care of that while I look for survivors." Static said as he got ready to leave.

"Wait," Gear called out Static turned to him. "This man didn't die from exposure, his neck is broken."

"His neck's broken?" Static repeated. "So are we dealing with some kind of professional?"

"This man was attacked by someone who knew what they were doing. Keep an eye out." Gear answered.

"You too man." Static answered as he went looking. Gear took Back-Pack and started to head for the freezer, before taking one last look at the timer that showed it had gone down to zero. He watched as the door to the freezer came open but the footage had gone out before anything else could be seen. Gear left the room and started to head towards the freezer, the area seemed to have suddenly dropped even further in temperature forcing him to shiver. He raised the temperature in his suit as he neared the freezer door.

Back-Pack extend its scanner over his shoulder and scanned the inside the freezer. Gear watched on as the door to the freezer came open on its own. "Static," he called back.

"Yeah?" Static answered.

"The freezer door is open." He told him.

"Anything worth noting?" Static asked.

Gear took a step forward only to realize that his foot was caught on something. He looked down and picked up what seemed to be a black jumpsuit. "Someone else's clothes."

"Clothes?" Static ask. "Someone is running around naked?"

"I don't know, I'll look around. I'll update you if I see anything." Gear answered but soon an eerie chill went up his spine.

"Okay, remember to be careful." Static told him.

The chill going up his spine was sudden, almost like a knife in his back. Something inside of him was screaming to leave but his body wouldn't listen. He was hearing something, something faint but clearly there, but then he felt it: something was breathing on him from behind. Before he could do anything, whatever was behind plunged his fist through his chest. Gear looked down to see a pale gaunt arm ending in a massive clawed hand around his heart. He coughed out blood as the creature lifted him up and over its head.

Gear couldn't scream even if he could as the creature's empty red eyes seemed to remove any chances of speaking. The creature was disturbingly human-like in shape, being nothing but an emaciated husk with pale skin and sunken-in eyes. It's maw was a mess of fangs and pointed teeth dedicated solely to shredding and tearing with long matted white reaching down to his shoulders. Above his head were two massive antlers like that of a deer, which the creature began to impale him upon. The creature growled lowly, almost as if chuckling at the torment it was inflicting on the techhead.

"Gear...Gear?" Static's voice called out. "What's wrong?"

Gear could only respond with a light gurgle as blood was filling up his lungs and mouth. Tears filled up his eyes as his life started to fade away from him. The beast faded away into the frost leaving the mangled corpse of Gear behind as it went after the other hero. Static began to head towards where Gear was known to be heading towards. He tried to make it through the cold as it suddenly seemed to increase. He looked around just as the beast appeared seemingly out of the snow and tackled him out of the window.

Static cried out as the beast slashed at his chest as they plummeted to the street. The force shattered Static's spine, the beast growled lowly as it held him down as frost and ice formed around it. It was getting ready to tear him apart when a beam of purple energy struck the creature in the back. The beast howled in pain as he turned and growled at its attacker. A woman wearing a black and red form fitting suit on top of a 'v'-shaped board. "Well, first time for everything." She said as she aimed her cannon at the creature.

The creature growled lowly as it got to all fours and crawled away as it disappeared into the frost once more. Static coughed as the woman got off her board and walked over to him. "You okay? Can you hear me?" She asked as she got to her knees and checked his pulse. "You're in bad condition but you will live. Come on." She said as she helped him up to her board to take him to a hospital.

The End

So hopefully that makes up for the joke chapter I posted for April Fools! Though this is a short chapter, I had to make it quick due to more complications going on in my day to day life. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer. So as usual if you have a question feel free to ask and if you have suggestions for the girls in the harem then by all means feel free to tell me via la Review or PM and those who give detailed reasons as to why certain girls should be in the harem then I will take them into special consideration.
