Chapter Text
"I advise you to stay as still as possible."
A cold voice woke Janus up from his involuntary sleep, making him attempt to lift his head up, stopping when he felt something keeping him down.
Janus' voice came out in angry muffles, the feeling of tape sealing his mouth shut stopping him from doing so.
"I apologize for the...tackiness. I simply needed you quiet." Janus' eyes had adjusted enough to see a man with black rimmed glasses towering over him, a neutral expression plastered on his face.
Janus tried moving, jerking his arms from the leather restraints that were adamant to keep him secure.
"Please. What did I just tell you? No moving." Logan's voice was laced with humor as he moved to a shelf beside him, grabbing a camera.
"Don't look too happy." Logan postioned the camera just infront of Janus' face as well as other various angles.
Janus repeatedly tried to move his head, desperate to look around at where he was.
Logan scribbled something down on a clipboard once the pictures were taken, moving over to a camera where a satisfying beep could be heard.
Logan walked back over to the table, in frame with Janus beside him.
"Male, late 20's, medium build. This is a mutation experiment in hopes to form a kind of hybrid. Still in devoplement." Logan finished his short statement, moving over to the same shelf from before, picking up an intimidating looking needle.
Janus' eyes widened, face paling as Logan bought it closer to his neck.
"Keep still." Janus let out muffled yells of protest, desperately trying to wriggle from his binds.
Janus began to still as the needle grew closer, afraid of something worse happening.
Little did he know, it was to happen.
Janus felt a nasty prick in the right side of his neck, cold rushing through his neck, his body shivering.
Janus began to feel a sharp pain on the left side of his face that developed into something that felt like his skin was being torn apart.
With teary eyes, Janus let out muffled screams as he thrashed about on the table, face on fire as he was sure the skin had been ripped right off his face.
The feeling in his face began to travel down his neck, chest and torso, horrific looking scales ripping and morphing themselves onto his skin.
Lava was being poured on him. Surely. Janus had never experienced something like this. It was like someone was twisting and pulling his skin with burning metal.
The scales underneath the tape were harsh enough for it to come off, screams escaping his mouth with scary ease.
Logan meanwhile had been mostly watching, jotting anything down when necessary.
Logan's expectations were low, he had to admit, but this was astounding! He wasn't expecting a reptile, let alone any success of an animal at all!
Janus continued to writhe on the table for a while longer, finally feeling the pain begin to subside as though the lava had finally dried up.
Janus' scaly chest was heaving up and down, shaky breaths leaving his mouth.
"What the hell did you do to me?!" Janus thrashed, desperate to move his head in order to see his captor.
"Something extraordinary." Logan walked over to the camera, flicking it off.
"No! Let me go you sick fuck!" Janus' seething voice was ignored as Logan walked back over to him, messing with the settings on the table when all of a sudden Janus felt himself tilting upwards.
A few seconds passed and Janus screamed.
The body that was meant to be covered in skin was now scaly and disgusting.
A horrifying reflection stared back at Janus as he opened his mouth to inspect the slit on his cheek.
"It's..."
"Wonderful." The camera once again found its way into Logan's mad grasp, again in Janus' face as he was desperate to document everything.
"You should feel amazing. This is the first time something like this has worked! Now you won't have to go with the others." Logan smiled, a rare sight for the usually cold doctor.
"I feel anything but amazing! What the fuck have you done to me? I'm ruined!" Janus collapsed into a helpless round of sobs, scaled body shaking as he struggled to comprehend the new body infront of himself.
"This is only the beginning. We have so many more things to test! Do you function like a real snake? How did you mutate? So many things..." Logan paced as his voice grew louder, more excited.
"NO! Yo-you're not to-touching me!" Janus cried out as Logan waked over to him.
Another injection in Janus' neck made him drift into a world of black.
"Oh I'll be doing so much more."
