Inisde the Lab-Chapter 6: Welcome to the Lab I continued looking at Mina, my paw still on the glass. I had to get used to the fact that I had paws now, not hands. The lab appeared mostly empty, most likely everyone was asleep. I knew they had all kinds of protections on the tanks, so I wasn't going to try to break out. I watched Mina sleep, until I sensed another presence. It was Mew, well the one who was in my head for the past four years. I guess she noted that I had woken up. She was floating towards my tank. "It's about time!!" she exclaimed, exasporated. "About time for what?" I said, using my mind. Whoa!!! I can use my mind to speak!! What would happen if I try to speak with my mouth?? "Mew mew two mew," were the words that came from my mouth. "Yes, that's correct," Mew nodded. "Your evolution is almost complete. Which means you can speak with your mind, not your mouth. It's about time they brought you here. Mina's been driving herself crazy about you." "Ya, I know." "How??" "She's been taking me with her, telepathically." "Oh." It was really quiet for about an hour. I must've been up way too early!! It was ok though, I just sat there and watched Mina sleep. Of course Mew kept talking to me." "See I told you it was all true," she rubbed in. "I can see that. Besides, I had the FIA Database to confirm all of it." "But you still had trouble believing it??" "Well it just sounded way too crazy, till now." "I see, but now you see." I hated these riddles, but I learned to get used to them over the years. I looked around some more. Looking at the cages that others were in. They were all asleep. I then saw a cage with a black Mewtwo inside. It was Shadow. I met him on the 'net before. This was the first time I actually saw him. He stirred, probably sensing me. I watched as he opened an eye, and slowly rose. He then glanced at me. "Drak, what are you doing up?" he asked. "I dunno," I shrugged. "I just woke up a little while ago." "Well you might as well try to get back to sleep." "Ya, it's still real early." I glanced at a clock. One of those atomic digital clocks. It read 4:30 AM, August 31, 2004. I then felt my tail twitch. I watched Mew and Shadow go back to sleep, then I fell asleep myself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- I think Mina and I were sharing the same dream. Well at least she was in my dream. We were together, in the cage, and well, we were...ummm..together. OK!! I'll come out with it!! We were mating. Kinda sad, to be mating with her in my dreams, but for some odd reason, I couldn't help it. It was like my dreams were being controlled by someone else. That's why I thought we were sharing the same dream. She was beutiful. I never thought that I would ever see her. I was sitting in the cage, watching her. She approached, twitching her tail. She started to fondle my private, which made me twitch a bit at first. I started to fondle her private as well, feeling my own becoming erect, leaving its pouch. I looked down as she started to suck on it, taking all of it in her mouth. A short while later, she stopped motioning me to mount her. So, of course, I mounted her, guiding my hard private into her. The few minutes this lasted felt like ecstacy, and extremly real. Or at least, untill I woke up again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- This time, when I woke, the lights were all on. There were scientists everywhere. Most of them were staring at computer screens. I also noticed that there were other critters in tanks. It took the people a few minutes to notice that I was awake. One scientist suddenly perked up. "Sir, look at Drak's EEG!! It's surging!!" she stated "What!! We can't lose him!!" The lead scientist shouted. I quickly glanced at Mina. She perked up at hearing this. She seemed worried, standing at the cage bars, watching the scientists. Then she looked at me. Then I noticed that the head scientist was looking at me as well. "It's ok," he said. "He's just awake." Then he came up to the tank. "Drako," he said to me. "I am Christopher, the head scientist for this project. Welcome to the Seattle underground lab." "Seattle....underground??" I asked. "Yes." he nodded. "We are still in Seattle. This lab was set aside for the final part of this experiment." I felt akward. I could feel all of my fur in this liquid. My tail twitched. I could feel that my body was not the same as it was before. I was slightly frightened. What had they done to me? Why am in the body of a Mewtwo?? "It's ok Drak," he added, almost as though he knew my thoughts. "Your transformation was a success. We must keep you in the tank just a little longer, to moniter your progress." Progress?? Of what?? "The progress of how you are adapting to your new form. These are going to be the hardest few hours." "Hours??" "It can take a day or two before we can verify that you are strong enough to leave the tank. If we pull you out too soon, complications may arise and may turn out fatal." I understood the concept of "complications" and "fatal." I mean my ship didn't have a full scale lab for no reason. This lab was much different though. It seemed like it was designed to handle only this type of expermentation. I watched as Christopher headed to Mina's cage. He started to pet her head. "Mina," he said to her softly. "He will be fine. We didn't realize that he was awake." She mewed softly, then settled down on her bed. I could sense her settling down. She knew that I would most likely survive the procedure and live a long life with her. She looked at me, mewing at the fact that I was watching her. I gave her a smile, and let her know that I was hers, and hers alone. I would have to adapt to the fact that I was going to be at the CIA's Seattle underground lab for a little while. I couldn't wait until I could be out of this tank, and with Mina.
