infinitum (OC x Brainiac)

Chapter 1 - Reborn

Eveline's heart raced as she darted through the dimly lit corridors of the underground laboratory. The sounds of alarms blaring behind her echoed through the sterile halls. Her once luminescent skin, now pale and human-like, blended into the shadows, concealing her presence from the searching scientists.

She couldn't believe what they had done to her. Their reckless pursuit of knowledge had turned her into something she was not. Her thoughts swirled with confusion and anger as she pushed herself to run faster, determined to break free from her captors.

Eveline's mind was still adjusting to her new human form. Despite her appearance, she still felt a connection to the Luminian essence within her. The faint glow of emotions danced beneath her skin, a subtle reminder of her true nature.

As she neared an unguarded exit, Eveline hesitated for a moment, contemplating the world she was about to step back into. It had been so long since she had felt the fresh air on her face, and she wondered if the world outside still remembered her kind.

With a deep breath, she pushed the heavy metal door open, revealing the night sky above. Moonlight washed over her, and for a moment, she felt a sense of peace and hope. But that tranquility was short-lived as the sound of approaching footsteps made her heart leap.

She had to keep moving.

Eveline ventured into the city, her human appearance shielding her from immediate suspicion. The city's lights and noises overwhelmed her senses, but she forced herself to blend in, to act like a human. Her Luminian instincts urged her to hide, but her determination to find answers drove her forward.

Days turned into weeks as Eveline navigated the city, staying off the grid and avoiding any contact with humans. She knew she had to be cautious; the scientists who had experimented on her would be relentless in their pursuit. But the more she explored her surroundings, the more she felt disconnected from everything around her.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Eveline found herself on a rooftop, gazing at the city lights below. She felt a yearning for her true home, for the bioluminescent landscapes of Lumina and the comforting presence of her fellow Luminians. A single tear rolled down her cheek, shimmering faintly in the fading light.

Unbeknownst to Eveline, her tear glimmered brighter than she could imagine, catching the attention of an unseen observer—the robotic drones of Brainiac.

Brainiac had been scouring the Earth for unique beings, civilizations, and technologies to add to his collection. Eveline's emotional resonance and her peculiar connection to both Luminian and human aspects intrigued him. He dispatched his drones to track her every move, observing from the shadows.

As Eveline's days of solitude continued, she began to feel the weight of loneliness and the burden of the secrets she carried. She wanted to confide in someone, to share her story, but she knew that trust was a luxury she couldn't afford.

Unbeknownst to Eveline, Brainiac's drones were closing in on her location. They had gathered enough data to pinpoint her whereabouts, and the AI entity himself was growing more intrigued by her existence with each passing moment.

In the distance, the hum of an approaching drone caught Eveline's keen ears. Panic surged through her veins, but she refused to surrender. With a newfound resolve, she leaped from the rooftop, embracing her Luminian agility and grace, and vanished into the night, leaving behind only a faint trail of glowing footprints.

The chase had begun, and Eveline's path was now intertwined with the enigmatic and powerful entity known as Brainiac. Little did she know that their encounter would spark an extraordinary journey—a journey that would lead her to confront not only her own identity but the fate of the world itself.
