-SCENE SONG-
"Baby I Love Your Way- Big Mountain"

April's POV
The sound of the DNA scanner distracted almost everyone due to how loud it sounded amidst the shocked silence in the lab.
"Colin Adrian Flemings" The robotic voiced chimed out the entree's identity before the doors.
"Here comes the King! Finally!" Zac exclaimed sounding pleased in a mock tone as the doors slid open to let the tufty haired Controller in.
In the dim lit interior of the lab, Colin exuded a powerful hypothetical glow. It might be because we were manifesting his presence here and also his thick bushy eyebrows which were on the verge of meeting together. It was surprisingly the first thing I noticed about him on day one as well and I made it a daily habit to remind him to relax his brow.
How did I do it?
Using my own pair. Whenever I see him having a heavy frown, I would make sure I get his attention on to my face and I'd shoot a comical frown at him, raising one brow in the process.
~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK [2016]~~~~~~~~~~
[-When April was the Chief Controller of the Data-Veil Lab-]
"Yeah I look good, you can look away now" Colin snickered as I bunched my brow tightly at him when he came and stood right in front of me studying a paper in his hands. The frown was definitely present due to his struggle to read in the dim light of the lab.
"You can't be serious...you think that's the only reason someone would look at you?" I asked dumbfounded. Colin looked up and even in the semi darkness, his sharp eyes stood out, tiny glimmers of lights coming from the computers scattered like stars in his irises.
"Well, it's the main reason but it's followed by sub reasons like cool hair, hard jaw, 'oh my god those eyes!'-"
"- and 'how much time does he spend on those eyebrows?'' " I piped in with a mock improvisation of him.
His frown deepened.
"You were simping over my eyebrows?"
"Simping? Me? Well in exact words, I was contemplating. You call that simping huh?" I made sure to emphasize on the technical verb
"Tsk. I mean, have you noticed that you're a girl?"
I had a double take and that definitely resulted a frown on my own face.
"I don't have to notice that cuz I know that, dummy." I snapped while I tried to figure out which way this conversation was heading.
"Glad to hear that. Seems like you are missing a science fact then. No offense but that's acceptable for someone who studied how to solve all the world problems and C++ algorithms in her undergrad years"
"I would have definitely missed this particular fact if it's one made up by you for your own defense"
"I hate to break it to you that I learnt it in seventh grade so let me just recap for you. It's about a chemical substance called Kisspeptin which is a brain hormone that gets secreted to trigger attraction towards certain traits of the opposite gender. Now that I think about it, thick eyebrows are also listed under those traits. Some research group in Oregon can confirm it to you"
