(ooc, alright, it was a while back, but does anyone remember when Magnus made me into metal meteor and smashed me into downtown, this is the aftereffect, cya)
Having gotten the grant, based on his undeniable confirmation of living tissue inside the unique meteor that crashed into teh police department a month ago, Dr. Ivan Renabar was removing the metal mass from its cryofreeze with electro-magnets, to carry the few thousand pound mass.
Usong these same electro-magnets, he managed to balance the 'rock' into a slowly horizontally rotating pattern, mid-air. Then he broght about a blowtorch, with the eocite electromagnets attached to it, to prevent it being pulled from his hand, and began to heat the metal, so he could pry it open after, with some even more diabolical looking instrments.
He was alone, or so he thought.
Truth is, the government only granted him teh grant, so that they could monitor the process, and dictate the results.
They had five special agents with tranq guns around the room, and almost a army outside the complex.
---------------------
Cold, so cold, can't move, have to, escape. Must, get, warm, Soooo cold. Sleep, yes, sleep is good, NO! MUST....GET....WARM.
must
find
warm.
cold, sooo cold, need warm, must find warm, need warm.
-----------------
The meteor stirred, and Dr.Renabar gasped, as he slowly peeled away layer after layer of what he only describe as the white-hot skin of the chunk of metal.
With this, he redoubled his efforts, and applied the scissor/tongs once again to the only spot of the only holes in the meteor, and peeled off yet another layer.
But why was it so evenly hot? he should only be opening the rear end, yet the entire meteor was burning up now.
he did not care, it made his work easier.
-----------------
Inside the trap, Condors wings had responded to his desperate need for warmth, and now they were once again allmost melting the metal of the trap, but not quite.
---------------
With a gwush of putrid air, Ivan saw what apeared to be a human face,eyes wide with fear, skin pale as death, shivering so violently, he must surely have caused himself some internal bleeding by now, then he saw no more, neither did the face.
------------------

Bright, too bright, eyes, pain,
These thoughts, or rather, these feeling, scattered across a boys mind so slow they appeared never to move at all to him.
Warm, must find warm, must find warm. It was then that teh weight of teh physical suddenly, violently, thrust itself upon the wretched creature, and a room came into focus instantaniously.
He was strapped down, with his face pinned by leather throngs so that he could move any of his face except for his eyes. Three separate tubes came out of his face, on in his mouth, and teh other two into his nostrils. He could feel them snaking their way down into his stomach and his lungs, but was more curious of their purpose than afraid.
He saw nien bright lights focused on him, and then felt his body come into consiousness. Leather tied him down every 10 inches, and he felt bony protusions lancing into his back. Then he saw a face, a face that struck purest terror into his mind,
A medical mask, a pair of clouded gogles. Then the boys was again realeased from the world.
-----------------
Teh government scientst sent to "normalize and/or terminate" the alien, set about his morbid duty with grim pleasure. His first task, he told himself, would be to remove those freakish wings.
So, having first put his experament under, he had his team flip teh body over, and brought out a bone saw.
----------------
Teh boy woke up, immense pain cousring through his body, he tried to scream, but found he could not. He saw new people, green robed people, and knew what fear was then.
Suddenly, he heard a scream of agony, almost identical to what he himself had tried to emit, and saw the robed men back away in terror.something burned his wrist, and instinctive reflex forced his hand away, he heard leather snap.
with a free hand, shriveld away so that the sharp bone beneathe shon through, he cut the rest of his bindings, and lasty, the cords.
It was then that the lab assistants, almost as one, jumped upon their ex-victem.
jabbing out with his now free hands, he saw blood spurt form one face, and another lost an eye.
The others backed off.
--------------------
The next the boy knew, was the sound of an old, decripit man, murmering something about a trashcan.
And Cold.

"Damn! the chinese places usually have good crap, btu this?!" The homeless said, pulling out a half eaten chiken leg. The man had no idea he was being watched, nor did he care yet.
The boy had no idea the meaning of these words, nor did he understand the concept of 'word'. But he tried to imitate the old man, digging through an imaginary trashcan. He froze as he heard something scrape across teh cold wall behind him. He had felt it, he had caused it.
"Wh-whos there?" teh man demanded, brandishing the chiken over his head like a club. He aproached where the sound came from, deeper into the deadend alley.
The boy was scared, and with nowhere to flee, he rushed teh old man.
Before the old man even saw teh blur of motion, before he realized he had angered this tall, hidiously thin, half naked, one winged devil, before he had another concious though, three of his fingers, and teh chiken, where separated from him. The old man found himself staring into a face no human was ever meant to posess, a pale, stretched face, with teh mouth frozen open by some force unseable in the light, nostrils like extra tounges.
Then he felt a warm liquid seeping into his ragged shirt, and he ran, ran for the first police man he could find.
the boy was left marvelling at how slow the other creature moved, then decided to follow it, but at a distance.
(this is getting fun)

He was scared, too many things, all pointing at him, all screaming, too many things, all violent, the boy almost lost himself, whoever 'he' was.
A single thougth came back to him, again and again,
Must find warm, must find Warm, Must find Warm. Need Warm, must find Warm.
And this was all that he knew, all that allowed him to keep going.
Then a new sound emerged, a highpitched, unpredictable, wailing keen. And a new thign came into his sight, this one moving fast, with bright orbs at thefront and the back, lights bright enough to reveal every detail of him, lights he couldn't see though.
A vision of a green robed men flashed trough his mind, and jsut under left shoulder, a sharp, slicing pain reemeged, as though it was only covered earlier, and now threw off teh offending sheet that hid it from its tormentee.
The police, who had recieved mixed reports of a mutant, and a streaker, and a sick man, and moving in the same direction, sent out a party. Now, all those reports turned true at once. The police were affronted by a man, wearing nothing but a black cloth on his waist, with skin so tightly wraped around his bones he appeared to be a walking skeleton, and a single bony wing reaching at least the mans height behind him. They didn't know what to do, confilcting laws, confilcting ethics. They just stared at the creature, and it stared back at them, with eyes that appeared to be both hollow and questing at once.
(ooc. anyone want to help me here now? kinda stuck with how to get back to teh school, or anyhwere.)
(umm, TAG!)
(S.O.S. before i go S.O.L(sh*t outa luck))

Taela glanced around the city as she carefully made her way around the hidden alleys and shadows. With her enhanced sense of smell she detected an odd scent. It was not human, but an odd mix of fire and metal. She slipped from an alley to find herself looking at an odd humanoid creature with one bony wing. There were police facing it. They didn't seem to see her, probably because they were too busy trying to figure out what to do with the creature.
Another mutant, like me. Cops. They won't be very kind at all to it, no, cops are never kind to mutants. Taela thought, remembering when cops had shot at her in Delaware because they saw her shift from human to fox. With a lion-like roar she leapt from the shadow to put herself between the cops and the creature. She bristled her fur and made herself look even more like a demon than she already looked. She grinned when she saw the frightened faces of the cops. She flashed bright, sharp fangs as she snarled at them. One creature was frightening enough, but two creatures, one of which looked as though it were ready to tear them to shreds, was too much for the human police.

(thanx for helping, i was just lost)
The boy just stared at the bright lights. then he saw something drop from the sky, and change. He didn't like this thing, but he liked the alternate options even less.So he jsut stood there, looking like an idiot. While the cops notched their guns, and took aim at the new creature, the one that looked aggresive to them.
One cop fired wildly, and the bullet zinged past teh boys head. The crowd casped as teh boys head moved almost as fast as the bulet to watch the object as it zoomed past him. Then he was back to creature with its back to him.

(OOC: no prob. I was in the same predicament!  ) Taela stepped back a bit when the one cop fired his gun. Despite the fact that it hurt like heck, she sprouted her dragonfox form's dark green wings. She spread them, and snarled, making it very obvious she was protecting the creature behind her. She glanced around, counting the number of cops and noting their locations. With a moment to plan her attack, she leapt at the cop closest to her. She knocked him down by barreling into his gut, knocking the wind out of him. She then shot from cop to cop, knocking them down and smacking away their guns before they had a chance to react. She then turned to the creature behind her. "Go! Move! Into that alley over there!" She shouted. She ran past him and wrapped her tail around his wrist, gently pulling him along with her. She led him into the long, dark alley so she could plan their getaway while the cops recovered. |

The boy stood terrified as he saw another shot fired, and teh bullet pelt into teh creature in front of him. He shied away as green wings burst through the skin of the creature, and as it lunged for the being with the noisemaker. Then it turned on him, and said something, but the words still were incomprehisable to him.
Instint told one thing was easier to deal with than afifty, and he allowed the creature to pull him into an alley, once it had pulled him suficently out of sight from teh beasts behind him, he simply stopped, and tried to pry himself out of the vice-like grip of the tail that held him.

Taela released the creature's wrist when it tried to pull away. She folded her wings in and gave the creature a good look-over. He appeared uninjured, aside from the missing wing. Knowing the cops wouldn't see them in the dark shadows of the alley, she relaxed. She sat down and offered a paw.
"My name is Taela. What's your name?" She asked, looking up into the creature's eyes.

He was confused. The thing didn't fight him when he had pulled away, but it didn't leave either.
He stared bewildered as the thing reached out towards him and spoke. It said something, something important, that much he knew, but he understood nothing.
Trying to speak, he found two things, he could not form words in his mind to say, and also could not make any senseable noise with the plastic tubing still down his throat, however much he had cut out earlier.
What came out was a series of nonsensical gurgles.
He didn't understand the meaning of the outstreached limb, and so, in an attemt to be like something, he mirrored it. Bringing out his left hand, to her right paw.
Can this help find warm? he asked himsel, though in no way any kind of psychic could ever follow, save, perhaps, a mad one.

Taela could see the confusion in the creature's eyes and noted that it couldn't seem to speak.
Man, whatever happened to this guy must have been brutal! She thought to herself. She noted that the hand seemed to be more of a mirroring than an understanding of what the gesture meant. She placed a warm paw in his hand anyway and shook it lightly before placing it back on the ground. She looked out the end of the alley to the street, where the cops were leaving since they could not find them. She sighed. If he couldn't understand her, how was she going to get him to come with her? The only way she could leave the city with him now was if she took on her sky dragon form, and she knew it would frighten the creature.
"Do you want to come home with me? Go where it is warm?" She asked, speaking slowly and carefully. She then waited for a response.

(ooc hes not cold, he now thinks of warm as a thing, somethign he needs to find, to have, i'll explain later,)
Seeing teh other creature lowers its paw, teh boy jabbed his arm strait down. Although he understood nothing of what was said, he seemed to feel that the thign in frotn of him didn't want to hurt him, as the things that looked somewhat like him did.
He didn't knwo why, but he almost trusted this thing, but on a level beyond trust, almost like a lost duckling, hatched while its mother was away, wandering away from the lake shore, clinging to the first living animal it saw.
he sensed that he was safe here, not safe here, but safe with the creature wherever that was.
He realized it wanted something of him, as it waited, staring at him, and he didn't what do do, so did the only thing eh think to do, he raised his hand to her again.

Taela almost laughed when she saw the creature raise its hand again. She sighed.
How do I get through to this guy? I guess I can fly us both as a winged demonfox, but I'll need to make my wings bigger. I'll do that later. She decided the best thing to do would be to get him to the school. She jumped up onto a trash can and placed her tail in his hand. She sat up on her hind legs and did the best job she could of showing him how to hold on to her tail like a rope. She hoped he would get the idea and hold on to her tail so she could fly them back to the school.

The boy somehow got the idea, and he grabbed on with his might, gripping the tail with both thumbless hands.
He didn't exactly what was wanted of him, but he kept with what he had done. he didn't notice as teh creature winced from the streangth he applied to her tail.
(sorry, not much to put here)

Taela blinked back a tear as the creature gripped her tail.
OWW! Note to self: this guy is bloody STRONG! She carefully snaked the end of her tail around his wrists so she could be certain he would not fall. She then leapt skyward, flapping her growing wings furiously to gain altitude quickly. As she left the shadows, she cursed when she saw a cop car sitting not to far from the alley.
CRAP! Cops not good.... She tried to move quickly out of their sight, but with the creature on her tail she could not move the way she wanted to. One of the cops leapt from the squadcar and fired off two shots. Both shots sliced through the thin skin of her wings. Taela was forced to slowly land. Once she landed in the middle of the street, she turned and snarled at the cops, hoping to frighten them into running.
