"Um...Etis, why do you look like that?"

"Like what?"

"...You know. Like that."

"I don't know what you mean."

Miha grimaced at the sight of Etis's new form. Gone was the small in stature kitsune that he was before-- though often he was more of a fox, keeping only one or two tails out a time. Instead, Etis had changed into a significantly taller stature, closer to that of an adult, and his once pristine white fur was now a combination of red and white, with scales mixed in down the front of his belly, and on his forearms and lower legs, as well as his hands and feet. His species was now that of an eastern dragon, distinctly reptilian yet lacking completely in wings-- dragons were an uncommon species in the world, but not exactly forgotten or supernatural, so he could get away with doing so. Etis smoothed the thick red mane around the back of his head with his scaled hand and his long, furry ears twitched and twisted to even the most minute sound. The most worrying part for Miha was the long tendrils of whiskers that sprouted from his nose as well as his tail, for each end glowed and shimmered with supernatural power. Etis, thankfully, seemed to notice and with a quick flick of his hand, the glowing vanished and they became simply whiskers.

To Miha, this felt like a bad idea. The two of them stood at the window of their dingy little motel, looking out over the parking lot below-- that in itself probably seemed strange, but they were staring specifically down at the cars below, more than anything else. They were here, in this crappy 2-star motel, for a specific purpose: to scope out, tail and inevitably interrogate a man who was connected to Miha's past.

"There he is." The dragon hummed, looking down at a man who appeared from beneath them, striding towards a rustbucket of a car. He was a slender, almost sickly-looking reptile, with black and purple scales that were dotted with vibrant green spots. He strode across the concrete in a sleek brown trench coat-- as if that wasn't already a suspicious outfit-- and formal trousers, yanking open the side door of his car and rifling inside. After a moment he climbed in and made a gesture to someone out of sight. The two onlookers waited for a moment and watched as a boy, with similar coloured scales to the other reptile, quickly pattered across the parking lot towards the car and pulled open the back door, hopping inside and shutting it behind him.

"Should we follow them?" Miha asked quietly, glancing up at the eastern dragon who was scrutinising the scene before him, his red eyes searching.

"...No," He muttered after a moment, and the two watched as the car pulled out of its parking spot and made its way out of the lot, heading down the road. "He didn't take anything with him, so he'll be back. We'll wait and ambush him at that time."

"I still don't know why we're going after this guy." Miha muttered as he turned and strode across the room, flopping onto the large double bed. Most would have questioned why a cub his age, barely 12, would be in a motel with an older man, especially considering it was a room for 'couples', but Etis had a way of making things go the way he wanted. The dragon turned on the spot and reached up, briefly fiddling with his whiskers and then his long pinkish-red horns, as if making sure his 'disguise' was in place.

"That's because you keep forgetting," Etis reminded him as he stepped across the room. "Quite often, too. I've told you to stop looking in the mirror."

"But why can I remember you?" Miha sat up and cocked a leg up, planting his heel against the bed. Unlike Etis, who was already fully dressed in a pair of loose cotton trousers and a formal white shirt, Miha was more or less naked, save for the form-fitting elastic boxers he had around his crotch. He was aware that Etis's gaze was upon him, for the dragon's eyes often were, in whatever form he chose to have.

"That...is a mystery we have yet to solve." Etis shrugged his shoulders-- despite his age, to which he had still not placed a number out loud, even he didn't have all the answers. He stepped across the room towards Miha and looked down at him, reaching out to ruffle the fur atop his head, where it collected in a small, blue tuft. Miha had distinctively husky-like fur patterns and short, pointed ears that only confirmed his sub-species to be similar. Miha looked at him both with a mixture of wariness and worry. Etis had a feeling he knew why, considering everything hinged upon this-- he couldn't imagine how it felt to not remember a lot of things.

Miha had the unique ability to erase people's memories, something he'd developed and was experimented on for as Haxxen Labs, a facility that Etis had stumbled across during his investigation into the notorious Harold Swan, a feline whom Etis had assumed was dabbling in the supernatural a little too much for his liking. Miha was just another victim of their experiments, and was now unable to control his gift and suffered from frequent bouts of amnesia, simply due to the fact he often met his own gaze in the mirror. The man they were tailing was a scientist at that very same laboratory-- of course, Miha didn't recognise him, but Etis knew his face from the file: Ralph Friando.

"So how long do we have to wait?" Miha grunted as Etis slipped onto the bed beside him, leaning a little closer. His gaze swept up the down the cub's near-naked frame before he reached out to stroke along his cocked leg, sliding it towards his inner thigh.

"I'm not a mind reader," Etis pointed out. "But I know a few ways to pass the time...I'm sure you won't mind, would you?"

Miha's expression flushed. Sex was not a novel or unique thing to a boy like him-- not only was a frequent 'victim' of Etis's roaming hands and lips, but his time in Haxxen Laboratories had involved things of a perverse nature; specifically, a unique gas that heightened a supernatural person's abilities, whilst at the same time enhancing their sex drive. Miha wasn't as susceptible to the gas as others, but it had still given him the lasting, permanent effect of a high libido that, thanks to Etis, was easily sated. With a slow nod, Miha scooted backwards on the bed and turned, pushing his back towards the headboard and stretching his legs out. Etis crawled up onto the bed and reached ouch, grabbing onto Miha's ankle and directing it to the side as he slipped in between his legs.

Etis knew what made Miha tick, for the most part; the canine was often receptive, but strictly speaking versatile. As Etis's hand moved along Miha's inner thigh, the 12-year-old shifted and reached down, grabbing the waistband of his pants and sliding them past his hips, revealing his small grey-furred canine sheath and plump little nuts. Etis's gaze snapped to it instinctively, and a hand reached up to his shirt, effortlessly popping the buttons as he trailed them down. His other hand snaked across Miha's thigh and towards his crotch and soon his fingers met with the cub's crotch, his thumb and index finger pinching the little pouch, giving it a few leisurely strokes. The canine held onto Etis's scaled forearm, his gaze lidding over slightly as he stroked.

After a moment Etis's hand retreated, if only because he needed to remove his shirt entirely, stripping it from his person and letting it fall to the floor. Once he was free of it, he reached out towards Miha's hip and pulled him closer, coaxing the cub to lay down on the bed as he reached back with his other hand to squirm himself out of his trousers, his thick tail catching within the tailored hole of the pants. It took some coaxing and awkward adjusting on his part, but he eventually shimmied out of them and revealed a discreet slit between his legs. Miha glanced to it and looked back up at Etis, opening his mouth with the intention to speak before he clamped it shut, as if he answered his own question in his mind.

"Were you curious?" Etis smirked as his tail wriggled itself free of the tailored hole and he kicked with his feet, managing to force the trousers off his digitigrade legs. Miha averted his gaze in response and pursed his muzzle into a line, his cheeks warming from the dragon's teasing, and with a grin Etis scooted forwards, planting his knees on either side of the cub's legs and forcing the boy's knees together as he effectively straddled him, though didn't press the full weight of his body down upon him.

"What are you doing?" Miha asked tentatively, his hands instinctively settling themselves on Etis's white-furred hips as the eastern dragon pushed down and grazed his thick, red-scaled crotch against Miha's sheath, loosely humping him. The canine let out a quiet groan and his body reacted in a way one might expect, the tapering little tip of his cock sliding out from his sheat hand swelling from the stimulation, pulsing to life with each gyration of the dragon's hips. Etis didn't have to answer him, for Miha was soon to find out.

It only took a little more coaxing and humping to encourage Miha's little canine cock to harden fully, rapidly reaching full-mast within a handful of moments, the base of his 3-inch cock swelling and forming his knot. Despite his arousal, the cub's cock was a little dry, lacking in any sort of pre-cum or lubrication, but that suited Etis just fine. He lifted his hips up, sighing gently as he used one hand to angle Miha's cock upwards, the other hand pressed down onto the bed, propping himself up. He smeared the tapering tip of the cub's young cock against his entrance, dragging up and down and quickly wetting the end of the member with his own natural lubricant. After a moment of adjustment, he pushed his own hips down and Miha watched as the dragon's slit spread apart to accept him. A hiss escaped through the boy's tiny teeth as Etis plunged down, taking the cub's member in a single, sweeping bow of his hips, his stretched slit kissing with the pulsing knot.

Miha groaned under his breath and rolled his head back, desire clouding his senses and making him squirm-- he always got like this when he was horny, where everything suddenly became unimportant in the face of getting off. On this occasion, however, he was able to keep himself in check, namely because Etis was the one taking the reigns and guiding him, and also partly because he was on the bottom, unable to move much thanks to the dragon's adult body. Despite the lack of space to move, though, Miha still pushed his hips up and tried to sink deeper, his dry knot squishing with the man's slit. There was no way he was going to push in so easily, but Etis smiled at the sight, amused and turned on himself.

"You like that?" Etis asked quietly as he leant forwards, using both hands to prop himself up as he lifted his hips slightly and then pushed them down just as fast, causing Miha to whimper beneath him, his fingers digging against the man's furred hips. With that Etis slowly began to move, rolling and gyrating as the cub beneath him huffed and panted, toes curling against the bed as he tucked his knees up and bumped his legs with the man's ass. Miha's hands didn't quite roam Etis's hips but they gently stroked up and down every so often as the boy scrunched his face up, the pleasure indescribable. Etis's movements were soft and sensual, his body gently rotating in a circle so that he lifted, plunged and massaged the cock with each 'lap', his natural lubricant making things easy and audible. The sounds of their sex filled the air and after a little while, Etis bent his body down and gently kissed along Miha's forehead, his movements picking up speed.

Miha moved his hands after a while, huffing Etis's name as he directed them to the dragon's scaled forearms, his cock wildly twitching within the man's loins. His heels scuffed gently against the bed and his toes splayed and curled over and over as the pleasure rose. He tried desperately not to squirm and after a while, it became obvious that such a feat was impossible, and Etis had to almost hold the boy down to keep him still as he moved, aware that Miha was trying to instinctively do things 'his' way-- it was endearing, rather than off-putting, and if only encouraged Etis to take the reigns a little more. His gentle circular movements changes tact and shifted into quick little bounces, his inner walls stroking the cub's cock up and down, over and over. Miha clutched to Etis desperately and gasped from the change, trying to thrust up against Etis's body; the dragon didn't let him, however, moving one hand to the boy's chest to keep him held down.

"E-Etis slow down, I'm..." Miha began, but it was too late. A tender groan emanated from him and he arched his back, fingers curling against Etis's arms. He tensed and shuddered before his body suddenly relaxed, and Etis could feel why; the cub's little cock throbbed and twitched fervently inside of him, signalling his orgasm, despite the fact he wasn't tied. With an aroused moan of his own Etis pushed down and loosened himself, kissing Miha's forehead as his slit stretched to accommodate the climaxing cub's knot, taking it inside him with a wet squelch. Miha let out a yelp of surprise and strained beneath the dragon for a moment before relaxing again, his lips parted in a slow, laboured sigh. Etis could feel that knot pulsing and twitching as the boy painted Etis's insides with cum-- not as much as an adult, but definitely more than a cub should have at his age.

After a moment Miha relaxed fully, his breathing low and heavy, his eyes closed. Etis looked down at him and admired his spent form and parted lips before leaning up, reaching down to toy with his tied slit, fingers mingling against the entrance. Though Miha couldn't necessarily see it, Etis was sure that the cub could feel the pulsing mass beside his own cock, identified at the dragon's own erection-- though it remained firmly inside, thanks to the boy's knot. The dragon moved slowly, teasing the boy just a little as his insides flexed and his cock twitched as Miha's own sensitive length, causing the canine to briefly squirm, his cheeks flushed.

"How long do you think you'll stay stuck?" Etis asked him, though he knew the answer-- it was more that he was quizzing the boy, who blearily opened his eyes to look at up, perplexed.

"Um...a while?" He frowned, sounding wary. With a grin, Etis suddenly tugged and Miha sucked in a breath through his gritted teeth, letting out a groan that was a mixture of surprise and protest as the dragon's warm innards clamped down, briefly squeezing around the entirety of the cub's length before they abruptly relaxed, loosening from around those 3 or so inches. With another light tug, Etis's slit loosened from around Miha's knot and he slipped free from it, forcing the canine cub to withdraw with a frustrated groan.

"It's my turn now." Etis grinned and scooted backwards, sliding from Miha's legs and lifting himself off the boy as the canine's cock flopped loosely down against his belly, twitching madly in its overstimulation and oozing tiny droplets of pre-cum against his fluffy stomach. He grumbled under his breath, opening his eyes to look at the dragon, muzzle pursed into a thin line. When the dragon eased off him completely, he rolled to the side and tucked his knees up, propping himself up on an elbow and reaching down with a hand to grasp his outermost cheek. He parted his behind, revealing the sensitive pink flesh beneath for the dragon to take as he so wished.

Etis, however, had his gaze on other things. Etis settled down on his heels, scooting closer ever so slightly and reaching out to curl his hand around Miha's ankle. He lifted it up ever so slightly as he got himself into position, and then he pulled the foot towards him, directing it towards his crotch. Miha propped himself up with a hand and frowned as the dragon pressed the paw to his slowly growing cock, the exotic member ridged along its sides, wedged at the end and thick with a bulbous knot. The canine grimaced a little as he felt the warm pulsing against his pawpad, and as Etis angled his paw down he stretched out his other leg, assuming that the dragon may want it, in time. 

With a sigh, Etis dragged Miha's foot up along the top of his member, grazing the cub's instep against the smooth, throbbing top. He thrust with his hips and sighed, delighting at the feeling of the cub's curling toes as he pushed, and his knot kissed with the boy's heel, grazing and bumping. He pulled back and slid his hand up, holding the top of the boy's paw as he angled it upright, pressing the length of the sole against the underside of his cock. He gently humped and pushed, grinding the length of his erection against the paw as Miha curled his 4 toes, catching the tip between two of them and forcing it between the digits, sticking out the end. Etis's groan of delight made it clear he enjoyed it.

Miha slowly rolled onto his back, lifting up his other foot and directing it towards Etis's cock. The dragon smiled happily as Miha pressed his other sole to the man's length and effectively sandwiched the erection between his feet, his toes curling down against the head. With a quiet groan, Etis placed his hands top both paws and slowly gyrated his hips, pre-cum quickly and easily oozing from the end with each throb of the dragon's ample knot, his slit stretched to allow his member to remain fully out. With a lewd, wet sound he slid upwards even more and directed Miha's paws down, delighting at the toes gliding down his length, quickly growing sticky with pre-seed. With each little tug and thrust, the dragon's arousal spread across the cub's paws, making each movement easier than the last.

"Good boy..." Etis murmured as he slowly began in on a rhythm, closing his eyes and gently panting under his breath as the cub's paws curled inwardly in an effort to fit to every groove and nook of the man's cock. To Miha, it felt peculiar to feel the ridges running along his pawpads which, ultimately, felt a little sensitive from the stimulation-- they were a little ticklish too, simply because of the way he was moving. The boy endured, however, leaning back and folding his arms over his chest as Etis used the cub's paws as he liked.

After a minute or so, Etis's breathing had become laboured and low, his eyes lidded over and his mouth agape with eager interest. He loosened his grip on Miha's paws and withdrew his hands, making a gesture to the boy to finish him off. With a slight roll of his eyes, Miha shifted himself into a more comfortable position and began to move his paws of his own according, shifting his angle so that the cock pressed and fit snugly up against his pawpad and curling toes on either side. With that he stroked, gliding his feet up and down over and over as Etis leant back, propping himself up with his hands and arching his back.

"Just a little more..." He mumbled under his breath, his breathing suddenly becoming laboured and heavy. Miha did as he asked, pumping his paws up and down until the dragon's body shuddered as his stomach tucked inwards. The man sucked in a breath and let out an explosive sigh, though it was more like a groan-- to Miha's surprise, the man suddenly climaxed, spurting a thick string of cum across the short distance between them. It landed messily between Miha's legs, briefly catching his flaccid sheath and balls but mostly hitting the bedsheets, more than anything else. Every throb of Etis's cock alternated between a vivid arc of seed that kissed with Miha's body slightly and a gooey ooze that trickled down the underside of his cock, scooped up by Miha's slowly stroking paws. The man's orgasm faded as soon as it had arrived and after a while the cub parted his feet from the man's spent length, grimacing at the gooey strings that clung between his toes and the twitching member.

"I'm all messy," Miha complained openly and Etis chuckled, admiring the sight-- it was almost enough to get him hard again, but he relented, not wanting another round. They were, after all, on a mission.

"Then let's go and get cleaned up," Etis suggested as he rose to his feet, hopping off the bed in the nude. "We haven't much time, anyway."

"But you're the one who..." Miha began before sighing through his nose. He shifted off the bed and briefly hesitated, not wanting to set on the floor with his messy paws. Etis noticed as such and rounded the bed, picking him up beneath his arms and carrying him into the bathroom. Miha squirmed from being carried but didn't complain too much, aware he was messy, and it didn't take long for Etis to make his way inside and place the canine down, plopping him under the shower and started the water running. Despite the man's previously lewd and horny antics, he surprisingly kept his hands to himself-- or, at the very least, he didn't roam where he shouldn't. He let Miha clean himself up for the most part, but he at least helped with the boy's back when necessary, before cleaning himself out where appropriate. The bathroom was thankfully cleaner than the rest of the motel and they didn't bother to use the towels-- Miha didn't know much about Etis, but he knew he had magic at his disposal, and one flick of the dragon's wrists dried the pair of them off with a blast of hot air.

Etis strode naked across the room towards the window and stared back out towards the motel parking lot for a moment, lost in thought as Miha gathered up his clothes, pulling on his underwear and searching for his shirt and tracksuit bottoms. The cub glanced over at Etis and saw him closing his eyes, his breathing slow and gentle. Miha couldn't tell what he was doing, but after a moment or two, the dragon opened his eyes and turned his head, glancing at the boy out the corner of his eye.

"They're here." He muttered, turning and heading back across the room to get his shirt and trousers. Miha frowned at him and headed over towards the window in turn, bewilderment crossing his features when he didn't see the scientist's car in the parking lot. Before he could say anything, however, he spotted the rustbucket pulling up outside the parking lot, signalling to turn in.

"How did you...?" Miha began, but Etis cut across him, already in his trousers and throwing on his shirt.

"Come on." He signalled Miha to follow as he stepped to the motel door, rapidly buttoning up his shirt as he pulled it open and stepped through. Miha quickly followed, closing the door behind them.

The two of them stood out on the upper floor of the motel's suites as the car pulled into the parking lot. The sun had begun to set a little and it bathed the cars below in an orange hue, reflecting the sun off their shiny surfaces. The rustbucket of a vehicle trundled into a spot not quite beneath them, but opposite on the other side of the lot, and the two watched as the reptile climbed out from the driver's seat, his clothes a little dishevelled as if he'd changed in a hurry-- but the lab coat remained firmly around his body, a bright white in contrasting to the dull green of his car. The passenger side door opened moments later, revealing the boy, and the kid pulled out a small shoulder bag, clutching it in two hands as he swung the door shut with his behind and then waddled around the side of the car to hand it over. The reptile turned to head towards his motel room, which was on the floor below them, and paused; he looked up towards the two of them and his gaze immediately snapped to Miha in particular. His eyes almost bulged out of their sockets and he suddenly turned, with the intention of heading back into the car.

"W--" Miha was about to call out, but Etis vaulted the railing in an instant, dropping to the ground below. In an instant, he was across the parking lot, faster than Miha could blink, and the reptile boy cried out as Etis grabbed the older man by the collar and yanked him back away from the vehicle. Miha turned and quickly made his way across the walkway to the stairs, heading down so that he could join them.

"Dr. Friando," Etis hummed, holding the man by the back of his coat, another on his forearm. "I would say it's a pleasure, but you made yourself very hard to find. I'd be impressed, if I wasn't so annoyed."

"P-Please, I don't know anything!" The reptile insisted. "Tell the FBI what you want, I was just a scientist!"

"I'm flattered that you think I'm with the FBI," Etis wrenched the man further away from the car and roughly turned him around to face the motel. "But I'm not. Walk."

Miha finally joined them and he paused, his gaze meeting with the older, panicked reptile. He would have liked to say that he recognised him, but the truth was that he didn't-- but the fear and surprise in the man's eyes made it clear that he remembered him. Miha looked over towards the kid instead, who was frozen on the spot, eyes wide, as Etis encouraged the older reptile towards the motel room. After a moment the kid seemed to find his courage and quickly waddled after them, bag still in hand. His eyes looked moist, and his limbs jittery-- Miha could see he was scared, but he had no words to console him. The reptile, Dr. Friando, stuffed a hand into his pocket and fumbled with his keys before finding the one he needed: he unlocked the door and let them inside.

The motel was a mess, strewn with a mixture of documents, lab equipment and trash that hadn't been thrown away. The smell of Chinese food assaulted Miha's nostrils and he briefly covered his nose as the four of them stepped inside and closed the door behind them. Etis seemed satisfied and loosened his grip on the man, who staggered forwards and dusted himself off, worriedly looking back at them before stepping across the room towards his files, gathering them together. Etis didn't seem to think he'd do anything stupid, and Miha let him do the talking. When the younger reptile passed them, Miha stepped to the side to give him some room and Etis froze, his eyes wide.

"What did you do?" The dragon suddenly demanded and the reptile turned, his expression a mixture of fear and confusion.

"W--" He began, but Etis strode across the room, grabbing him by the collar.

"Don't play games with me," Etis demanded. "I can see it. What did you do to that kid?"

"That kid?" The reptile's eyes widened. "T-That's my son, Olly...I don't understand, w--" 

Realisation seemed to dawn on Ralph's face and he sagged against Etis, looking defeated. Miha couldn't understand why, but it seemed Etis did, for he loosened his grip from the reptile's clothes and let Dr. Friando steady himself. He gulped and looked to his son, who fearfully looked between them, having plopped the bag down on the bed.

"So you're one of them," Friando turned towards his documents again, his body strangely rigid. "An Aberrant."

"Is that the word they're using for us now?" Etis scoffed, glancing towards Miha, who shrugged his shoulders-- it didn't ring any bells with him.

"I should have understood when I saw Subject 9-- sorry, Miha," The reptile corrected himself. "To think my past would come back to haunt me..."

"Don't start the pity parade just yet," Etis warned. "Answer the question. That kid's aura is haywire, he could explode at any minute. I'll ask again, what did you do?"

"So you can see that? Fascinating..." The reptile stared for a moment, before shaking his head. "It's a long story...before I tell you, can you at least tell me why you're here?"

"You know Miha, right?" Etis asked, glancing towards the canine, and the reptile nodded along. "So you're aware of the incident at Haxxen Laboratories."

"Oh, yes-- horrible incident, really...I was working there at the time some...2 years ago? 2? Either way, the laboratory was shut down shortly after the accident, though I left before that." The reptile nodded along.

"Tell me, in detail, what occurred in that incident," Etis demanded, stepping across the room and sitting on the edge of the bed, gesturing Miha over to join him. "I've trawled through that place myself, and most of the documents pertaining to it were trashed, and any confidential files burned."

"Really? Well, alright...but bear in mind, I only know so much. I only heard rumours about what happened to Haxxen Laboratories when it was shut down," The reptile sighed and took a seat on a small chair he had sitting next to the motel's rickety table. "Let me begin, then..."

"The incident...it was chaos. Everything happened in an instant. From what I know and remember...it all started when experimental tests were run on Subject 9-- Uh, Miha, specifically for the purpose of limit testing, from what I know. I wasn't assigned to Subject 9, but rather Subjects 1 and 2...Rin and Djanko. Both had very unique supernatural abilities that we were tasked in drawing out and maximising to their full potential, and to do that we used..."

"The drug," Etis nodded along. "I know all about the gas you used...LT-3223."

"Right, though we referred to it as the 'Booster', since no-one wanted to remember a simple combination of letters numbers," The reptile continued with a grunt. "We understood early on that Subject 9 was tolerant to the Booster, so they kept upping the dose...they wanted to see how far they could take him. I don't know the minor details, but I remember that the experiment was intense and as a result, Miha had to be taken to his room to recuperate...at the time, Rin and Djanko had asked me if they could visit them, because they were friends. I allowed it...and that, I think, was the biggest mistake I could have made. You are aware of Miha's powers, yes?"

"...I believe so," Etis glanced to Miha, who kept his eyes down. "He can erase memories."

"That is but one facet...but yes, that is the crux of the problem," The reptile nodded. "From what scientists at the scene explained at the time, Miha awoke and couldn't control himself, thanks to the experiments other scientists had conducted...and as a result, he erased both Rin and Djanko's memories. This in itself wasn't a problem...but they forgot how to control their own abilities as a result. When we first took them in, they were barely even Abberants, but after some months of work they had been able to harness their gifts...being reset to when they first came to the facility, as least mentally, was irreparable. I hadn't explained, but Rin and Djanko were unique...Rin had the ability to teleport, and Djanko bore superhuman strength, but only when he 'transformed' into a beast. You can imagine the fallout."

"...I see," Etis's expression darkened. "So they went on a rampage?"

"Subject 2 did-- Djanko, I mean," Friando continued. "When scientists came to calm them down, Djanko transformed and wreaked havoc in irreparable ways. In a panic, Rin escaped-- he teleported, and no-one has seen him since. As for Miha...by the time I got there, he was unconscious. Those at the scene said that he fainted on the spot, though I noticed one of them had a particularly shiny nameplate. The alarm was raised shortly after and we were told to evacuate the building."

"What happened after that?" Etis pressed, and the reptile strangely shrugged his shoulders, glancing towards his papers.

"...That's all I know, effectively. They told us to go home and wait for further instructions and I got a call a week later telling me that my position had been terminated, effectively immediately," He explained, sounding a little wary. "Given the kind of work I did, they eventually sent someone to tie up loose ends...so I've been here and there since. I heard from some old friends that the facility went into lockdown and with no-one on the inside, they couldn't get anyone in...so they pretended not to know about it."

"An unlikely story...unless they already planned to leave them in there and pretend they didn't know what was going on from the start," Etis surmised. "Documents shredded, burnt, torn up...a lot of things were in disrepair in that facility."

"Well...for what it's worth, I'm glad you got them out," The reptile awkwardly muttered, glancing to Miha. "...But I assume from your visit that things are not well."

"...No," Etis rose to his feet. "For one, Miha still cannot control his ability. Two, your son..."

"That...is a mistake of my own making," The reptile rose and turned, and Miha quietly remarked to himself that it looked a little dramatic. "I was an ambitious man, so I took a sample of the drug home with me in an attempt to see if my own son had latent abilities...and he does, but I made some incorrect calculations. I can't tell entirely why he reacted differently than the others, but his power is now amplified and out of control, amongst...other things. He now suffers from the same issue as Subject 9...and perhaps others, thanks to our handiwork. How are the others, by the way? Subjects 3 through 8...you haven't mentioned them."

"I got them out," Etis glanced to Miha. "With some help. They're currently at a safe house I own."

"I see," The reptile's eyes widened before he averted his gaze. "So, I can assume you've come for me to aid you in recovering Miha's memories then, yes?"

"You catch on quick."

"Indeed...and I suppose my research in the field is second to none," He hummed. "I will have to conduct some tests-- minor, I assure you. In the meantime, perhaps you can help Olly...I have been unable to steady his potential since his ability awakened. It's on all the time, but strengthens when he's stressed...which, sadly, is often."

"...Fine, but I'll be watching." Etis was wary, if only because he wanted to make sure Miha was safe. This mission had a two-prong goal-- the first was to help Miha, who so desperately needed it and the ability to live a normal life. The second, however, was to uncover any information about Haxxen Labs, as well as those behind it. Bringing up Harold Swan may not necessarily be the right course of action at that moment; he had to turn the man's trust. To that end, he crossed the room towards the reptile boy, who trembled before him, scared of his taller stature. Etis hesitated and sighed, crouching down to the boy's eye level.

"I'm sorry to scare you," He began, watching out the corner of his eye as Dr. Friando gestured Miha close to him and ushered him into the seat he was on moments ago. "Can you sit down so I can take a look at you? Maybe I can help."

Olly seemed apprehensive, but after a moment of hesitation he stepped back, sitting on the edge of the bed. Etis slowly reached out and pressed his hand to the reptile's front, and the cub seemed wary, his muscles tensing beneath the dragon's red-scaled fingers. A frown crossed the man's face and he could see Dr. Friando grimacing out the corner of his eye as he turned from Miha, heading back across the room and rifling through the documents on the desk, before turning to a nearby laptop and opening it up, turning it on.

"Can you explain what you're doing?" The reptile asked, turning his head briefly to look over at Etis. "Just for my own curiosity."

"It's a little hard to describe it in detail...the language lacks the proper terms...but I'm feeling out his aura," Etis explained, trailing his gaze up to the boy's face. "Olly, this may feel peculiar, but...try to relax, alright?"

Olly tentatively nodded and Etis affirmed his touch, pulsing his own natural energy through the boy's body. The reptile quivered in his seat and he let out a shaky groan, arching his back and pressing his chest further to the man's touch. This was a reaction that Etis had been expecting; the pulse of energy was probably particularly pleasurable, and if the boy had been dosed with the same drug that Miha endured, there was no doubt he now suffered from a high libido. Etis, however, paid it no mind; his focus was entirely upon the boy's turbulent, out of control ability. Unlike Miha, who simply triggered it by accident often-- enough for Etis to have to periodically seal it away-- the reptile's ability was on all the time, running haywire. As the boy shifted, he floated ever so slightly and it made Etis pause. He looked down and noticed a weighty, padded cuff on the boy's ankle, and quickly put two and two together.

"That feels..." The boy mumbled, and he instinctively reached down, unbuttoning his shorts and roaming his hand inside. Dr. Friando turned from his papers and halted on the spot, a groan of embarrassment ripping through him.

"Sorry," He apologised on his son's behalf. "The drug, it..."

"I'm aware," Etis hummed. "Let him do what he needs to do-- focus on Miha, please."

"Right." The older reptile strode back across the room towards Miha, a small zip-lock pouch in hand. "Back when I was at Haxxen labs, there was a lot of files on Miha...this and that, mostly, but they had extensive studies on his memory erasing ability, hoping it could be sold to the military if it could be reverse engineered, isolated and passed on to someone else...there was some notes on memory recall which I managed to salvage-- it's another part of his ability...long forgotten, I assume. It was trickier for him to draw out than the former."

"I see." It was a new development for Etis-- if the reptile could help that would be greatly appreciated. The dragon, meanwhile, used his own energy to shape down the reptile's aura and condense it into his body, though it was proving a little difficult. For one, Olly was squirming and whimpering far too much, and Etis was forced to get the boy to lay back, trying to avoid being amused and intrigued by the reptile's wildly jerking hand. Secondly, though Olly's ability felt strong, his control was weak, and it tended to slip through the cracks. Trying to get him to focus was impossible.

With a grunt of frustration, Etis reached down with his free hand and tugged at the reptile's shorts, loosening them enough for him to get access to the reptile's masturbating hand beneath. He pressed a hand to the front of the cub's package and the reptile paused, groaning under his breath, before removing his hand at Etis's silent request. The dragon yanked down the front of his underwear and the fabric slid from the reptile's scaled hips to reveal the small, humanoid cock beneath, 3 and a half inches in length. Etis wrapped his scaled hand around it and it pulsed wildly in his hand, the boy groaning with delight, squirming beneath Etis's touch. With each vivid throb Olly's aura spiked and bounced around, unruly and hard to control-- Etis knew what he had to do.

"My apologies, Dr. Friando," Etis began. "I'm afraid I have to do this in order to corral your son's aura. It's probably better if you don't look."

With that, Etis began to stroke and pump his hand, jerking the reptile off. The cub's aura spiked and Etis tried desperately to hold it together as his hand moved, and Olly reached out to grasp at the man's forearm with one hand, clutching the bedsheets with the other. He groaned and huffed, his body wriggling slightly beneath the eastern dragon's touch as he tried to push up with his hips, humping against that jerking hand. Etis did his best to keep a steady rhythm and he quickly felt the little trickles of pre-cum oozing from the boy's head, scooped up by his reptilian foreskin and spread across the head of his cock.

As Olly's groans grew more fervent, his father did his best not to look and continued conducting tests of Miha instead, readying a syringe filled with an unknown fluid. Etis didn't necessarily trust it, but he knew he could fix things if they went wrong, one way or another, so he allowed the reptile to do as he liked and instead paid attention to the younger reptile's squirming body. The more he stroked the more erratic the cub's aura became, making it harder and harder to control. Etis was sure that Olly's ability would grow more intense if he wasn't trying to coalesce it inside his body, but he also knew that the closer the cub would get to his climax, the more impossible it would feel to control him. Regardless, the dragon tried, his hand slowly picking up the pace as Olly's fingers curled against his forearm, his groans getting heavier. He tried to mumble something but seemed to struggle to get the words out.

"S-Slow down, slow...down...!" The boy managed to squeak out, his hips pumping up against Etis's jerking hand, but the dragon didn't relent despite his protest. The boy's moans grew more and more fervent as Etis winced, struggling to contain the power-- Etis had more than enough of his own potential to very easily keep it down, but the backlash on the boy's body could be intense, so he didn't want to overdo it. The sounds of Etis's pistoning hand became abruptly wet and audible as the reptile's breathing quickened and he began to heave, grunting and pushing against the dragon's curled fingers. The boy's pleasure and by extension his out of control gift reached its peak and Etis could feel him floating slightly off the bed, barely held down by his ankle weights.

Suddenly, the cub let out a long sigh and his body abruptly relaxed. Inside him, Etis felt the reptile's aura dampen considerably and it faded into almost nothing as he orgasmed into the dragon's hand, spurting little strings that mostly collected around his foreskin and oozed down when Etis pushed his hand down, the cum seeping onto his scaled hand. He gave a boy a few more tender strokes, squeezing every last droplet of cum from his member before he relinquished his grip and turned his attention back to the task at hand. He idly reached his hand up, briefly admiring the cub's twitching cock against his smooth, thin stomach, before he slowly lapped at his cum-covered fingers, licking them clean. He surged his energy through the boy's body and envisioned his magic forming a neat, thin barrier around the cub's frame, enclosing his power within. The boy's aura dulled into a stable line.

"Olly, look at me," Etis waited until the reptile blearily opened his eyes to look up at him, tired and spent. "Pay very close attention to this sensation, okay?"

Etis circulated the boy's power inside of him in a natural way, following the guidelines that Etis used for the likes of Vell, an old friend of his, in the past-- and Yijun as well, to a degree, though she was smarter than she looked. He pushed it through and lapped a couple more times before meeting the cub's gaze.

"Replicate it. Now." He demanded. At first, Olly hesitated, before Etis could feel the boy's power moving inside of him, identified by the metaphysical 'feelers' that the dragon had put out. At first the movements were sluggish, but after a few laps they began to grow more natural, and faster. The boy was picking things up at a relatively ample pace-- if only this worked for Miha, but unfortunately, the way his energy powered through his body and his gift in general was a mental one, not a physical one, so he was unable to help him entirely.

"Good," Etis hummed. "Now picture your gift. Imagine it like a sea of water in your body. Now, picture you collecting it into a ball and putting a net over it. It make take you a few tries, so I'll help you."

Etis thrummed his energy through the boy's body and the reptile's eyes widened. Etis could feel the cub reacting to his efforts and he both mimicked them as well as instinctively pushed forwards, metaphorically speaking-- as Etis gathered the boy's aura up into a neat ball, he could feel the cub putting a tight lid on it, sealing it away in something like a jar.

"Perfect," Etis nodded, slowly lifting his hand off the boy's chest. "Whenever you feel yourself getting out of control, I want you to picture and feel collecting all that water up and putting it away. A box, a jar, a net...whatever you find easiest to put it in, you put it in there, okay?"

"M-Mister, how did you...?" The reptile began, slowly sitting up. He looked briefly embarrassed about being half-naked, but seemed more concerned with his own power not going haywire. Etis glanced out the corner of his eye as Dr. Friando pulled a needle out from Miha's arm and put it in a small, designated waste bin, syringe and all, before planting a cotton swab on the injection point. The dragon turned his attention back to Olly and smiled, reaching out to pat his head.

"We don't have the time to teach you how to channel your gift properly, so I've only given you a crash course," He ignored the boy's question. "Remember that first feeling, of your gift going in laps? When you want to use your power-- not right now, save it for later-- just imagine you pouring all that water our, and circulating it in laps like that. That should keep it in check. As for your other problem...I'm afraid such things are irreversible, Dr. Friando. Your son's libido will remain pretty high for most of his life, at least until he gets older."

"That's fine," The older reptile hummed, taping the swab to Miha's arm. "The libido aspect is...not the biggest issue, we'll say. In any case, the drug I've injected Miha with is experimental-- drugs pertaining to the mind are few and far between, but this should hopefully stimulate his memory recall ability...this it's theoretical. Give it a few minutes."

With a nod, Etis raised himself up and polished off the last of the cum on his fingers as Olly loosened the weights around his ankles, kicking them off and sighing with relief. The boy got to his feet and pulled on his underwear and shorts, covering himself up again as the eastern dragon moved across the room to Miha, sitting down beside him. He placed a hand on the canine's back, gently feeling the energy inside him, wanting to make sure there were no issues with the injection-- if it was all theoretical, there could be horrible side effects.

They sat there in silence for a few minutes as Olly laid down on the bed, relaxing himself, tired from recently being jerked off. Dr. Friando paced the room nervously and Etis and Miha simply sat there, saying nothing. Miha stared down at the floor and Etis gently stroked his back, feeling tense. After a moment, Etis felt Miha clench beneath him and he grunted, sitting upright as if met with some discomfort. The dragon could feel Miha's energy flexing inside of him, as if reacting to some inner stimulation. Miha grunted again and rose to his feet suddenly, twinging on the spot.

"Are you okay?" Etis quickly asked, getting to his feet.

"It hurts." Miha muttered, before he suddenly gasped in pain and keeled over, clutching his head with both hands. Etis instinctively reacted, scooping the boy up and putting him down on the bed as the reptile rapidly approached, pressing a hand to the boy's chest.

"His heart's beating too fast," Dr. Friando began. "Stablise him."

Etis held the cub's arm and pushed power through him-- it cascaded and spiked across Miha's body before settling in his gut, spreading a warmth that would hopefully soothe him. Miha's laboured, heavy breathing slowed if only slightly, but he still groaned and clutched his head, stricken with agony. He seemed unable to bear it but tried to endure, squirming slightly on the bed and kicking his heels against the coarse blankets, sucking in harsh breaths through his gritted teeth.

After a moment or two it slowed, and Miha's arms sagged, loosening from his head and flopping down either side of it. His eyes were lidded over and he looked tired and weak, but conscious. Etis leant over him and cupped the boy's cheek, sliding it down to his neck to check his pulse. It was stable and steady, and a cursory check through the boy's body indicated no physical problems, that he could see. 

"Miha, talk to me," Etis mumbled. "What do you feel? What do you remember?"

Miha tried to speak, but his voice was quiet. With a frown Etis leant down, twisting his head to listen. He could hear the cub whispering, and he picked up a single word.

"Everything."

When Etis leant his head up, Miha had sagged to the side, his eyes closed. Etis checked him once more and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Miha had simply fainted. He stroked the cub's head and scooted him upwards on the bed, resting his head on the pillow.

As for what may happen next, they'd have to wait until Miha wakes up.
