Chemically Cute 2 Out Of The Shadows

Chapter 7

Emma sits in Donnie's giant chair eating a bowl of ice cream watching a compilation of cat videos as Donnie leaves the lab with two vials one dark red and one purple

Donnie runs with excitement of what he had just discovered though the power of science. "Leo! Leo!"

Leo raised his head up while he was sharping his katana. "What is it, Donnie?"

"Okay, I made a sample of the purple ooze, right?, to expedite analysis of the isotope? But while I was waiting for it to catalyze, I started thinking. If the purple ooze can turn humans into animals, perhaps if properly re-engineered... watch this, watch this. It can turn us..." Don told Leo

Donnie as he squeezed a single drop of the purple ooze with an eye dropper on the back of his hand. "Into humans." His hand has gained two more fingers, transforming his fingers into five "If we can get our hands on more of this stuff, it could be life-changing."

Leo looked a little unsure

"And after that something gave me an idea for Emma so I took a sample of her blood-"

"Donnie you know she has a phobia of needles!" Leo frowns scowling him

"It was just a tiny sample but I tested some of her blood with the ooze and well .. look." Donnie demonstrates by squeezing a droplet of the purple ooze into the vial of Emma's blood, suddenly the dark red blood turned into a regular shade of red "It looks like the ooze affects her DNA making it .. normal."

Leo looked skeptical "Leo .. i-it could help her if I could get more of this stuff I might be able to create a serum to make her .. normal."

Leo looks down and then turns to Donnie. "We don't need that kind of change, plus Emma is going though enough trauma already it's not the right time to get her hopes up with this kind of stuff."

Donnie's face turned into a frown a little bummed that Leo didn't like his idea but nods "Okay... you're right. To blend in with humans could compromise our strategic advantage. We have a system that works, we shouldn't mess with the formula." He looks at the vial with Emma's blood clutching it in his hand "I don't know much about the purple ooze I could accidentally miscalculated and eject Emma with it .. I-I don't wanna hurt her."

Donnie was about to head to the lab, Leo stopped him.

"And Donnie," he began. "Listen, you can't say a word of this to the others especially Emma."

Donnie walks away with disappointment what they didn't know was that Emma was listening from the lab with her heightened hearing with a hurt look on her face

They had a slightly chance of her being normal

And they wanted to keep that from her

Emma didn't even realize how angry she was as the multiple screens on the computer glitched and chemicals in the beakers started to boil, suddenly the bowl she was eating her ice cream out of shatters into pieces on the desk making her flinch back to reality

"Hey munchkin I've got some Mario Kart set up if you wanna play-" Mikey walks into the lab with a smile but admittedly noticed the shattered glass on the floor "Whoa!" He quickly steps over it picking Emma up in his arms "You ok baby sis? Did ya get cut?" He moves her arms making sure she didn't get cut by the glass

"N-No I'm fine." Emma looks away, Mikey lightly frowns "Hey you ok munchkin? You can tell me?"

Emma squeezes her shirt and looks him in the eye
