Hey guys! Here is a request that's long overdue made by @lightfury56. Thank you for requesting this story, and I apologize for putting it off for so long. However, it was fun to write this and I hope I met your expectations with it.

His footsteps bounced off the all-white walls loudly and reached his ears in screeching click-clacks. The lights he just walked under flickered. The white noise they created didn't scratch an itch in his brain but created one.

He should have brought the others along, he thought, as he called out for someone, anyone. Pulling out his phone, he checked the email he'd received half an hour earlier and looked at the sender.

"Uh, Lippert? George Lippert? Is anyone here?"

His questions were left unanswered. He sighed and put his phone away again, continuing his path down the unsettling hallway.

The laboratory he was called to was a remote one. It had taken him about an hour to get there, and though the text he'd been sent practically screamed "help", there had been no one to greet him at the empty reception.

"Hello," he called out once more, and this time he heard a sound coming from the other side of a door. His steps faltered as he warily eyed the closed door.

A moment later, the door was pushed open with so much force that the door handle slammed against the wall. "Mr Jay Walker!" a smaller, balding man wearing a laboratory coat and dark blue goggles exclaimed. He clapped his gloved hands together and rubbed them rather nervously, quickly looking back at the inside of the room before turning back to the Blue Ninja. "I am so glad you could make it, sir. Come, come inside!" He waved him into the room.

Jay scrunched his eyebrows as he followed him in. "Sir?" he asked himself and eyed his new surroundings.

There was a laboratory on the other side of the door. Two stretchers were pushed up against the wall, which was decorated in all kinds of research and medical papers, and shelves with several jars on them were pushed up against the wall on both sides of Jay. As the two walked deeper into the room, he stopped for a second to glance more closely at a specific jar that had something floating in it. A piece of peach-colored matter. Skin. Or a brain. It was small but still distinguishable, which made Jay's skin form goosebumps. He shuddered to himself and scurried after the doctor.

"He has arrived," the man announced to people Jay hadn't known would be there.

There were two more men standing around a large invention that resembled a smaller, tower-like shape.

Jay shook hands with both of them and nodded as a greeting. "So, I've been called for an emergency." He looked around. "But I don't see an emergency."

"Oh, yes," Lippert said and moved to the invention. He pushed a button on its side and took a step back. The machine turned on and began to rumble before it stopped moving. Thick black smoke erupted out of it.
