The figure standing in the doorway appeared to be a werewolf. Hungry.
The lab shut down. Nic stepped back. The lines of spikes seemed to deter the wolf for a while, but eventually, it would get past them even at risk of its life.
He turned and ran. There was no time to waste fighting this thing, when the lab was at stake. Entering a numerical key code, he sealed off the lab. The secrets would remain safe until he was able to return.
The werewolf was preparing to cross over and fight. Nic held out his hand. The skin-tight glove shimmered slightly as he took aim. A beam of light pierced the darkness, but the werewolf had already moved on. It was angry now.
Where was the exit? He looked around him. The safest exit was behind the werewolf. That meant that he would have to take it down. He flexed his fingers, and braced himself- any moment now, it would leap across what was the equavilent of a moat. His stakes were hidden behind his back. Any moment now... with luck, it wouldn't realise that he had hidden weapons.
A movement- straight for him. In order to cross, it would have to go up first, before descending. The spikes were of no worry to Nic- he didn't use his feet, but the mechanical apparations to move across it on his back, shooting upwards from beneath. Aerial mobility was very low. A few stray hits, no vital organs. No matter. He was on the side of the door now. He opened the door, and locked it behind him as the werewolf landed on the ground.
Then, he saw why the werewolf had entered. Outside, there was a massacre of werewolves.
OOC: This would be somewhere near Shadow's location.
