Talon With The Batfamily

Beginning of A Talon

I don't know when or even how I lost consciousness; the last thing I remember is walking up the stairs behind The Talon and next thing I know I'm in a weird room, there was a few medical things around but it wasn't like any infirmary I've ever seen. There was these syringes that was filled with this gold fluid and a sinking feeling hit my stomach when I realized I was strapped down to a table. I wasn't able to move my head due my neck being strapped down, my arms, hands, or chest either cause there was straps there to, my legs and ankles also. Fear gripped my being and I started struggling with everything I had but not a thing would budge. As far as I was able to tell I was alone in this room. That didn't last very long when a man came in; it looked of course like a Talon. But someone else came in, they were wearing a full white suit with what looked like an owl mask, there was cloak around them with the hood up. They held their arms behind their back; they just gave the presence of importance, I get the feeling their one of higher ups not just any owl in the court, as the Talon walked to side of the medical table I was on and to those syringes; picking two up, though they were a little different, it held the gold fluid but there was also mixed with a clear one that had the two swirling together.

The fear turned into horror but I desperately tried not showing it or even a reaction. The other person was just watching as the Talon walked to my head and looked down at me; I just looked into their eyes, I knew mine held fear but I'm doing all I can not to show it. Within a blink I didn't even register at first he stuck those syringes into my neck and injected it into my system; but the injection was slow. My veins was burning; scorching it felt like, I wanted to scream, I wanted to beg them to stop and just kill me but I couldn't utter a word out. The pain is absolutely excruciating. Within a minute the Talon pulled the empty syringes out and the Owl started to speak "This isn't the full transformation yet; no you're still too young to become one. This is just the enhancements. Your reflexes, speed, stamina, strength, senses. Your entire body will change." I looked over at him with my eyes, he just gave off aura of amusement mixed with slight; what seemed to be excitement. "This is truly an honorable moment for you; just a next step to becoming a Talon for the court. One of our loyal enforcers. Do you understand what I'm saying child." I slowly, painfully, nod my head; and as he said I can feel my body changing. The fluids spreading quickly throughout my body making everything burn, I can feel my body getting stronger, my hearing better, my senses sharper but my body also felt as if I was slowly dieing, like this isn't something humans should be dealing with no matter the reasonings. But I can feel something else happening; something I really can't put my finger on it but something is happening. I can feel my eyes changing, blue brown eyes wasn't my eyes anymore; the brown center was gold, it looked like the gold was glowing in the dim lighting. The man walked up closer to the table and placed a hand on my cheek "You are going to make a fine Talon child, not many doesn't make pep, let alone keep from bawling with this process."

The pain with ebbing away slowly as the Talon was removing the straps and I was let free from them. The owl stepped back as I slowly sat up and took a moment to get to my feet. I looked at my hands and I was paler; paler than I should be, am I really dieing? When I looked up the owl held a knife in his hand and he slashed my left cheek, going diagonal from lower right and up left, but it didn't hurt; at least not like it should have, it didn't hurt to even half the level it should. Though what was really unexpected was for it to heal, it took a minute but it healed, it slightly burned when it did but it was tolerable. I reached up and touched where the cut was and felt a scar in it's place instead. "The regeneration you have isn't to it's full potential, so you will bear scars on your body with training." I didn't want to have scars; I was too young to have such things. The moment I opened my mouth I felt my throat being slit open and my eyes widens as the moment processed in my mind; I quickly placed my hands on my throat to stop the bleeding but I only felt a healed gash and scar in it's place. "You will not ever speak or even as much as attempt to unless you are given permission." I slowly nod my head and desperately tried to hide my fear. "My deepest apologies I have yet to introduce myself, you will know and refer to me as The Grand Master, head of The Court of Owls." So that's who he is, huh. But when really thinking about the words he's spoke; I'm really not gonna get out am I, I'm going to be here till I possibly get killed. Can't really have any of that really happen though. Man this place is gonna break me, or try to at least. The Grand Master left the room and the Talon had motioned me to follow. What ever happens next; I don't think I'm going to like it.
