Fused Becky AU: The Nightmare Begins

"And done!" Dr. Two Brains exclaimed as he finished working on his latest ray. The mad scientist smiled a bit as he examined his invention. This was one of the rare times Dr. Two Brains created something that did not have the purpose of creating cheese or aiding him in stealing cheese. It gave the scientist a bit of a nostalgia moment from his old non villain days as Steven Boxleitner, inventing a gadget that did not have anything to do with mice or cheese. Luckily for the scientist, Squeaky was not bothered by Dr. Two Brains making a non cheese ray, only glowing when he wanted to eat some cheese from the stash from time to time. Dr. Two Brains had a gut feeling deep down it was because Squeaky wanted the ray's purpose to work as it intended, and for good reason. "Are you sure that thing would work doc?" A female voice asked, uncertainty in her tone. Two Brains frowned a bit as he turned towards the source of the voice. It belonged to a woman named Carrie who was unfortunately for Dr. Two Brains, a cat human hybrid. Of course Dr. Two Brains was to say, freaked out when he first encountered her. He thought Carrie would eat him. Over time he tolerated her existence, since she had shown she didn't even like to eat mice and was amazing around kids which included his own pinky. Dr. Two Brains did feel a bad about Carrie's circumstances. What kind of psychos would kidnap normal and regular people just to experiment on them. He was a mad scientist himself but he was no monster. Not even Squeaky was that evil in Two Brains' opinion. But Carrie's appearance and circumstances is what lead Dr. Two Brains to forgo his usual cheese experiments to work on a gadget that would help Carrie become human again. Squeaky's motivation as he would not have to deal with Carrie's cat side ever again and Dr. Two Brains' motivation, well it was hard to place, he just feel the need deep down to help her even though he doesn't recall if he ever met her before. Two Brains also felt a rising fury to "deal" with those who did this to her, an anger usually reserved for those that harm his child. Despite that deep feeling, it still didn't mean that Dr. Two Brains was now pals with Carrie as he expressed with annoyance at Carrie's reluctance and questioning of his abilities. "Well if you weren't so afraid of needles and hospitals, I wouldn't have to build this ray in the first place." Dr. Two Brains said in a strife tone. Carrie just glared at him with a frown but said nothing, her cat eyes causing the scientist to flinch a bit with fear. Carrie disliked what Dr. Two Brains said but he was unfortunately right. Due to what happened to her at the facility, Carrie developed a strong dislike and distrust of anything associated with the medical field which included medicine and other doctors that could help her condition. Dr. Two Brains was one of the few, if only scientists she liked and trusted, barely, which is an improvement for her. The only things that make him different from her view of doctors was his villainous escapades, being a animal hybrid like herself, and his care and love he had for his child Becky. Carrie huffed in defeat, not having much choice here. "Fine. Go ahead." Carrie said with reluctant surrender. Two Brains smiled with a smirk in victory. "Great. Don't worry Carrie, I can assure you that nothing will go wrong with this ray." Dr. Two Brains stated before aiming the ray at Carrie. *Click*.....nothing happened. The two individuals stared with confusion at the ray. "That's not right." Two Brains muttered. He tried clicking again, nothing happened. Two Brains growled with frustration and then he started to bang the side of the ray. "Work..you..stupid..little" Dr. Two Brains grunted out. The ray suddenly began to grow brighter and hotter. Dr. Two Brains let out a yelp at the increasing heat and the ray fell to the ground, automatically firing out a beam. The beam began to bounce around the warehouse like a ricochet. "TAKE COVER!" Two Brains yelled out with alarm before pushing Carrie and himself down to the floor.

Steven's suspicions had definitely been confirmed by Chase's statement, though it did nothing to alleviate the deep pain he still felt. He and Alex always did talk about having other kids during their relationship, maybe giving Becky some more siblings for her to hang out with and bond whenever he and Alex were busy with work stuff. It may have worked in this other Steven's world, but it was now a dashed dream in this one. He and Alex did have an amicable breakup in the beginning and Alex understood perfectly why he had to focus on his child now and not a romantic relationship. But that's where the amicability ended between them. Alex didn't understand Steven's methods with the villains as Wordman and called him out for being to brutal with them. Well what was he supposed to do, ask nicely for them to stop and just scold them for their actions, escort them to jail and ask them to not do it again. Alex did not understand how horrible and despicable villains can truly be. How they don't care who gets hurt as long as they fulfill their selfish desires. Steven had seen what true evil and the face of villainy looks like when his careless and oblivious creature cause his own child to be under the will and motivation of the most evil creature on this planet. Alex would never understand why as Wordman, he had to show the adult villains that there are serious consequences for their actions, and probably show the younger generation why they should deter from a life of crime. Steven tried to focus back on what he wanted to ask Chase, about how his other self became free of Squeaky, but the boy interrupted his chance. "May I ask a question now?" Chase asked in a serious voice. Steven blinked in surprise but nodded and let the boy speak, it was fair after he asked his own questions. Chase took a breath, "Are you that hero, Wordman, the one I saw earlier downtown?" Chase asked Steven. Steven was shocked by the question, but not surprise considering the boy's parentage and the fact that Becky from his world was still Wordgirl if his counterpart ended up fusing to Squeaky. Steven just nodded yes but he still had some curiosity about Chase's conclusions. "How did you figure it out?" Steven asked with genuine interest. "Well you displayed similar attitude and demeanor as Wordman and earlier tonight. When Mouse mentioned how Wordman refused to fight her and acted differently towards her compared to how I saw him act towards the Butcher, it would make sense that you wouldn't want to harm your own child even when she is committing crimes." Chase explained to Steven. Steven just nodded with his still stoic expression. Yep, that about sounds accurate. "But there is one thing I don't get?" Chase asked. "Yes. What is it?" Steven inquired, a bit startled and confused by Chase's question. Chase stared at Steven with confusion and some bizarre form of hurt. "Why are you so cold and brutal with the other villains?" He asked, sounding shocked and very bothered by this Steven's actions. This time, Steven frowned a bit, looking angry and insulted by Chase's questions. He sounded too much like Alex and his old self. "Its because the villains in this city and most likely in your world are heartless criminal scum that will do anything they want to get what the selfishly desire." Steven responded, sounding like an angry, lecturing parent. Chase frowned, he did not like the answer this Steven gave him, very much unlike his dad. This time he did let his emotions come out a bit. "Are you serious?" He nearly yelled out. "Just because the villains here do bad things, doesn't mean their bad people." Steven rolled his eyes at Chase's words, ignoring the boy's naive view on villains as he went back to sketching the blueprints. "For instance, The Butcher has family dinners with the family of a little girl that takes care of his cat Little Mittens when he is in jail. Chuck, when he isn't doing crimes, helps small mom and pop sandwich shops build up business. Why can't you treat other villains the same way you treat your own daughter while you are Wordman?"

Liam tapped his foot impaitently. He was waiting for chase or at least his parents to answer. After standing there for nearly 30 minutes and no response he was getting irradiated. why invite someone over and not answer the door?

His brain thought back to the events that lead him here in the first place. Group assignments from school. The 12 year old had preferred if he had a choice to work on it himself. Especially being paired up with his sometimes but not quite enemy, Chase Boxlietner.

as much as he hated it, the teacher threatened them with a failing grade. Liam didn't care much about getting one D or F on his report card but knowing how dissapointed his dad would be made him reconsider it.

He ranged the doorbell once more knowing that if he knocked on the door he may punch a hole through it.

Liam was taken aback by the sounds of rushing footsteps coming to the door. The door was immediately pulled open to reveal a rather out of breath Chase Boxleitner. "Hey Liam." Chase waved awkwardly. "Sorry I temporarily forgot you were coming over to work on our assignment." The boy said in rushed, but genuinely apologetic voice. Liam was still upset about having to wait outside of his rival's house. "Why was i kept waiting out here for more than 30 minutes?" Liam asked in a stoic yet angry voice. Chase gulped a bit, not wanting to deal with Liam's angry side right now. "My mom had to work late at the veterinary clinic and dad is attending one of Becky's debate competitions right now." Chase began to explain. "So it was my job to keep an eye on Blu until my parents came back. We were playing hide and seek and I was looking for her when I heard you knocking and remembered about the class assignment." Liam rolled his eyes, even though he did not feel Chase's excuse was a good one, the boy understood that Blu Boxleitner can be a handful sometimes and needed to be constantly looked after or something disastrous would happen. So Liam decided to accept Chase's explanation for now. Chase welcomed the other boy inside his house. "You need to finish up your silly game with your sister. We need to start getting this dumb project out of they way so I don't have to spend any longer here in your presence." Liam stated with an annoyed huff. Chase just rolled his eyes at the boy, he was used to Liam's mean comments by now. "Alright, let me just get Blu and tell her the game is over." Chase responded. A giggle from somewhere turned both boys' heads towards the basement door of Chase's house. "Oh great." Chase mumbled with worry. "She snuck into dad's lab again. I just hope she didn't bring that stupid mouse with her." Chase grumbled as he headed towards the basement door, opened it up, and headed downstairs. Liam was a bit puzzled by Chase's remarks. For as long as he noticed, the Boxleitner family seemed to have two pets, a monkey and a mouse called Squeaky. Chase and his sister Becky, as well as their father seemed to have an intense hatred towards the mouse despite still keeping it in their home. Liam knew Chase's father was once a villain so he just asked his own father about the mouse since he used to work with Chase's dad as villains. Amazing Rope Guy wasn't sure of the full story between Steven and Squeaky, he just knew from rumors and here say that the mouse gave Chase's dad and his kids grief back when they were fused together and went by the name Dr. Two Brains. Liam shook his head and came back to reality. He decided to follow Chase to the basement to provide help to the boy for dealing with his sister so they could get this project over and done with. Also Liam naturally assumed that Chase wouldn't be able to handle any real responsibility here without his help.
