Wolf and Cat

Waking up the cat

3 YEARS LATER.

Walking around the halls, the creature was looking for one of the scientists. Sniffing the air, he could smell her. The faint scent of her lab coat and the plants that's she's always studying.

Following her scent around the halls, he found a strong hue of the smell coming from a room, Marked "authorised personnel ." He has no access to these types of rooms, but he never gave a shit about authority.

Quietly opening one of the two huge doors, He walks in. The control room is dark blue with screens and graphs lighting up the dark space. There's a second room, completely bright, and blinding.

It took him a minute to realise this is one of those rooms where they wake you up. His ears flattened down at the memory.

"Hey wolf," said one of the male scientists.
"Hey duke, where's Diane?" Walking over to the screens where duke is sitting.
"She's in the white room, waking up the avatars". Looking down into the white room he sees two scientists in gear one of them being Diane, Standing next to two avatars. One he knew of as corporal wainfleet. Dude had a ego and dickhead attitude. At least according to wolf. Although they've never actually spoken to each other.

The other was zhang. He knew nothing about him. Two other avatars laid unconscious on the gurney's. He knew neither of them.
Duke spoke into the speakers. "Waking up the avatars guys"
As the two scientists began there cue, an avatar female walked in through the doors, having to bend over to get in. "What's the mutt doing in here?" Followed by a smirk and goblin giggle. Walking towards the wolf, then laying her arm down on his shoulder. "Shut up Zdog" he smiled.

"Finally waking em up science puke?"
Duke sighed. "They should respond any minute now". All three of them watched the scientists take there cue on monitoring and inspecting the avatars. Doing there routine clicks and shining there instruments in your eyes.
One of the avatars quickly responded and opened his eyes. Startled but okay. "Fike I want you to sit up and wriggle your toes for me ok?" He did as instructed, no issues.
"The other ones responding now" said Diane.
The two scientists hovered over him with there instruments. Duke checked the monitoring. Zdog looked more particularly interested then the wolf next to her. She knew these men when they were all human. Old friends.

Dukes face looked a little concerned while looking at brain waves on the graphs. He talked through the coms. "He's taking longer to respond"
Wainfleet looked at the glass and stepped over to the gurney. His face concerned. Gently pushing the scientists aside. "Outta his face" he murmured.

The mans ears twitched and his eyes slowly opened.  "Colonel? Can you hear me? Colonel?" Said lyle looking down at the man.
In the blink of an eye, the colonel punches wainfleet in the nose and quickly rolls over to get up off the gurney. The scientists duck and run over to the sides of the room. "You need to lie back down sir!" Insists Diane. A low growl came from the wolf. Ears twitched down in concern.

The man now backed up at the glass, angry and dazed he lets out short growls. Moving forward he pushes the hanging light back at wainfleet in the face. Then grabs a monitor and throws it at zhang. Losing balance of his legs the avatar falls down grabbing the gurney. Quickly standing back up to push away zhang coming over to grab him. Pushing him away. Fike now slowly walking over to calm the colonel. He quickly punches him straight in the face.

Lyle quickly puts a hand on Diane's shoulder and gently pushes her towards the door. "Get outta here" and points towards the other scientist on the other side of the room. "Go, go"
Diane runs out of the door. "Get security!". As she turns around the corner to the control room. The wolf walks over and greets her with his hands on her shoulders. "Are you hurt?" He asks. "I'm okay, what are you doing in here?"

Zdog runs around to the door and quickly enters the white room. "Grab em! Grab em" she dodges colonels punch, landing straight at fikes face. Again. Going around him distracted  Zdog grabs his shoulder. Zhang on the other.
"Colonel stand down!" Orders wainfleet.
Restraining against Zdog and Zhang, he opens his mouth to bite and hiss at Lyle standing in front of him. "Colonel it's me! Corporal wainfleet!" Letting out small hisses at the avatars next to him. He turns to wainfleet. Calming down and slowly breathing in.
"Lyle?" The man says. "That you?".
"Yessir" he answers. "And Zdog" he turns looking at the female. "Fike" slowly looking behind him. A surprised expression on his face seeing his crew in blue. "Alright lemme go, cmon". As Zdog and Zhang breathe and back away. Looking at his hands, he steps forward. Pushing wainfleet to the side to walk over to the mirror. Putting his hand on the mirror, he opens his mouth and inspects his fangs, letting out soft growls with each breath.

He looks down. "Well.." he murmurs. "Ain't this a bitch..".
