David awoke with a groan, easily popping the restraints as he stretched. "That was a-" he cut himself off, hearing his voice sounded different. "...nice nap..." he finished, listening to his voice. Yep, definitely deeper. Looking around, he took notice of the 2 doors. He waved off the doctors that were coming in, disappearing into the restroom to take care of business. While washing his hands, he looked in the mirror, yelling loud. He burst through the small door, glaring at the doctors. "What did you do to me?!" he asked, though gave them no chance to respond. With his 2 great arms, he shoved them all aside, beginning to search every room for his brother.

Eric awoke to a loud banging coming from the hallway. Looking around, he recognized what he thought to be a hospital room. Except he was strapped down. Shrugging, he laid back down, before his eyes popped open. Looking at his feet... were they his feet? He wiggled his toes to make sure. Yep, his feet. Looking at his feet, he noticed they looked bird-like with long talons. Looking at his arms, which were halfway to wings. he saw a small "finger" with a tiny claw. He couldn't get it to turn far enough to cut through the strap. Then his door burst open.

"Eric?" the lion-man asked, fear in his eyes.

He tried to think who this stranger could be. He didn't recognize anything about him, though the half-lion said his name. He began thinking... Just as the half-beast was beginning to turn, he took a shot. "David?" the eagle-man asked, looking over his... twin...

David smiled wide as he rested his hands on his knees, "I found you." David said, slowly moving to his brother. Seeing his brother still strapped up, he nodded, sliding one of his claws out to cut through the leather. With both brothers now free, they sat on the bed to begin talking.

"Eagle, huh? Lucky." David began. "I got stuck with a lion."

"At least now you can use your middle name." Eric joked.

David glared at him for a few seconds before turning away and smiling wide. "You know what? I could. I can go by Leo now."

David opened his mouth to say something else but, knowing his brother, he shut it and shook his head.

"Eric Marks?" A doctor asked, walking in. He hadn't noticed David... Leo yet.

"Yes." Eric nodded.

The doctor looked up, seeing them both. "And you are?"

"Leo, formerly David, Marks." he answered. "We're twins. Or, at least, we were."

"Still are." Eric corrected him.

"Anyways." the doctor cut in. "You're lucky I have your file too... Leo. I'm just here to give Eric a check up before we release you. Might as well do you too, since you're here."

It didn't take too long but, once both of them were done, Leo stood and stretched again. "Gonna need some clothes, doc."

The doctor sighed and nodded, leaving the room. While waiting, Leo began exercising.

Eric, on the other hand, began looking over his body. His wings were connected to his arms, his feet had changed, he had a beak, feathers were sticking out with his hair, his whole body was messed up. His brother seemed to get the better deal, seeming to be equal parts human and lion all blended together evenly. [i]Like chunky and creamy peanut butter.[/i] he thought, frowning. He opened his wings as far as they would go. Somewhere between 2 times and 3 times his height.

When the doctor returned, he handed each of them a pair of boxers, a pair of cargo shorts, and a shirt.

Leo slid on the boxers and shorts easily, opting out of the shirt. Looking to his brother, he saw him having trouble. Wordlessly, he helped Eric get dressed, without his brother's talons messing up the clothes.

With them both ready, they headed outside, both using their arms to block the light of the bright sun. Leo heard voices and was the first to look. "Hey, we're not the only ones." he laughed. "But, apparently, the only ones smart enough to ask for real clothes."

Eric took in the appearance of each one, including a falcon-girl, a monkey-girl, a boy with a shell like a crab or lobster, and more.
