"Doctor Sivana? Shazam locked you away, how did you get out?" Dick asked.

The short, bald, scientist dropped his syringe as his eyes landed on Alister and the others. He gulped. "Please don't hurt me!" He cried out.

Alister swooshed forward. He slammed down in front of the man. His large figure loomed over the scientist like an angel of death.

"I make no promises. What the hell are you doing here, Doctor Sivana?" He demanded.

Dick examined the warehouse. Surgical tables were placed around the room. Each table was equipped with a heart monitor and an IV stand.

He stepped closer to the IV stand. The bag was full of a greenish-blue fluid. If he had to guess, Dick would say it's KB.

Donna rushed over to the lone patient in the warehouse. She was hooked up to a heat monitor. Though she was alive, her heart barely beat.

Her skin was pale and spotty, licked with sweat. Donna felt her neck. She was cool to the touch. The IV was stuck inside her arm, KB flowed into her wrist.

"She doesn't look too good, guys." Donna said.

Alister grabbed Dr. Sivana by his shirt. He slammed the man's back to the wall. "I'm not gonna ask you again, baldie. What's going on here?"

"I... I'm simply trying to save this young woman's life. She's having an adverse reaction to the drugs in her system..."

"You mean the drugs you put into her system?" Alister growled. He forced his fist into Dr. Sivana's chest. "Let me guess, you're the one who helped Byth synthesize this derivative of Krotan?"

"N..No! I swear it. Mister Savage and Lord Byth had me freed from prison, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse." The Doctor stammered.

"What offer?"

"Freedom. Freedom with a lab and subjects for research. I've only just grown operational."

Alister's nostrils flared. He threw Dr. Sivana on the ground. "Look at that poor girl, look at what you've done to her. She's a person, not a test subject you sicko."

Her vitals began to skyrocket. Donna gasped and stepped back. "What the?"

"Eureka! This is a breakthrough, her vitals are nowhere near where they should be in terms of the others." Dr. Sivana exclaimed. He propped himself up on his knees.

Alister lifted him by his collar with one hand. He dropped the short man on his feet. "What do you mean 'others'?" He asked through gritted teeth.

Dick noticed a door on the wall behind a triage station. He inched to the door. He nudged the half-cracked door open and gagged. The smell of dead bodies assaulted his nose and swarmed throughout the room.

He flipped a light switch and found half-acidified corpses piled onto one another. "I found the others," Said Dick whilst he covered his nose. "There's got to be at least five bodies in there."

Alister's heart burned. A wave of fury shot from his chest to his limbs. The wave traveled from his body and into his mace. It rippled with light.

"You're a monster." He spat as he glared into the Doctor's eyes.

"Don't hurt me, p..p...please. I had no choice. I'm the victim here!"
