Because I really think anyone could do better than whatever CW had planned all those years ago

These are his logs.
WARNINGS: Human Experimentation, Child Death, Torture, Animal Experimentation
A/N: So many people like my writing! I'm so grateful to everyone who has followed and is currently following my 'Adopting A Mother' series.
Here is something I wrote after I realized there were almost no Powerpuff Girls in Gotham fics! Mad Scientist Professor Utonium was right there!!!!
(Next part in AOM series out 10/23/2025)
Doctor Alaric Von Faber took a breath as his lungs filled with the dense and contaminated air. His hands burned through the gloves as he shoveled more and more of the thick liquid into the vat, carefully submerging the battered corpse of his latest failed experiment.
He screamed, banging his fists on the desk beside him. Sending vials of black liquid across the lab.
His unintelligible murmurs were only broken by his screams into the nothingness. Cursing demons that weren’t there and reciting formulas like prayers.
He had long since been laughed out of Stuttgart, a failure in which he would never recover. He had put blood, sweat, and tears into his research. Purposefully choosing a dying facility as his base of operations. To bring funding to the outcasts of the scientific community was a charity. One that only earned him a stab in the back and blacklisted from the entire scientific community.
They claimed that Germany already had a tight leash when it came to scientific research. That any discovery of the government funding unethical human experimentation could shake their already fragile reputation and incite another war.
He claimed that success could completely change their position and make them the most powerful nation in the world.
His joyless laugh echoed across the room.
The glare of a picture frame caught his eye, shattered in his rage.
His purpose, the entire reason for his countless failed experiments, the only driving motivation to continue his life’s work after he was chased out of Stuttgart.
Ima was another stain on Alaric’s record. A bland woman who had only been good for sitting still and looking pretty. He had made it clear from the beginning that he planned on having children, she had waited until marriage to tell him about her infertility.
Her pregnancy was nothing short of a miracle.
Despite his disdain for the woman, Alaric had made sure Ima was pampered and happy. For all her fickle behavior and narcissistic tendencies, Ima had still given birth to his son. A gift worthy of praise.
The lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.
Some claim his loss drove him mad, but Alaric would say it was exactly what he needed. Grief drove him to the Lazarus pits, but inspiration drove him to reverse engineer the liquid entirely.
Mikhail’s rebirth was too unstable, but his brain could be revived.
With so little time, Alaric did something he would regret for years to come.
After the incident, he could only throw himself into his work.

"Embryos currently show no sign of development in the artificial uterus. Compound L has yet to show signs of affe- SHIT Fuck no no no- Wait… is that?
I split… This is impossible. Let the record show that after an unfortunate incident of improper lab safety, the addition of… sugar has shown to have a positive effect on the embryos.
I have recorded signs of life.
…
In the spirit of scientific curiosity, I have now added an assortment of household spices to the embryos, Powderpuff is showing temporary expedited growth. My gir- The subjects are currently in their third trimester, despite only three months of time having passed.

This is incredible. Ha.. Haha… HAHAHAHA! YOU FOOLS! YOU IGNORANT FOOLS! I HAVE CREATED THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM. PROJECT POWDERPUFF IS A SUCCESS.

They’re after me. I know they are.
I hear the radars, I see their agents out of the corner of my eyes. They want to take the girls from me… THEY’LL NEVER TAKE MY GIRLS
…
My girls… they could not survive outside of the gestation period. Something is wrong. I fear I may have to take drastic measures.
…
Maybe I’m as mad as they claim.
I was a fool to think I could hold the power of life in my palms.
The girls have yet to wake from Compound L. Something is wrong.
Where did it all go wrong? What happened I-
[Distant sounds of crashing and liquid cut off Alaric’s self deprecation. Shuffling and moving could be heard before a loud boom erupts in the room]
This… my girl’s
…
He has risen.
He hides in my shadow and feeds on my fears. His shrill voice grates my ears as he whispers his threats.
His name is a curse, only invoking his wrath when spoken.
He shouldn’t be alive. I don’t understand. This creature is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Blood soaks his hands as he eats your still beating heart. Like all the others, his body stayed in pristine condition after his death.
Unlike the others, he came back.
...
I can hear them in my walls. They want to steal my research, He tells me so.
They watch from the street. I need to leave. I can no longer stay in this accursed country.
...
There is no escape.
He has risen.
Beware of HIM."
