Listen the titles will be chaotic because I think I'm hilarious so just like bear with me I actually try with the actual chapter
"You brought the bird?" your dad asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Her name is Olivia, and she will be helping me take care of the kittens." The kittens meowed in response.
"Kittens? Water Bear-"
"They needed a foster home and nobody else would step up, I have the materials to make their nest, and Olivia protects them and Bip became their mother."
"y/n..."
"They only need to be fed every 4-6 hours so I will take my breaks then, I have a mat for messes and-"
"Ok, ok they can stay! Set them up and meet me in lab 1 as soon as possible." He hurried off before you could answer.
You sighed as you started to head up the stairs, it was very difficult, you forgot that the elevator was broken. You panted as you trudged up the stairs to the third floor, on your way to your office you glanced into Otto's lab, he wasn't there. You sighed, disappointed. It didn't take too long to set up the areas, and once you were certain that Bip, the kittens, and Olivia were safe, you went down the stairs to meet your father. Once you entered the lab you felt out of place, it was too sterile. You spotted your father talking to a group of scientists, you could tell he was getting agitated. You walked up to him and listened in.
"PETA breathing down our necks, and the government is threatening to pull away! I don't care if you have to work all night, get it done." He turned around and noticed you.
"Ah, Doctor Osborne, I am so glad to see you, this is Doctor Mendel Stromm, he has been leading this strength and intelligence serum we have been trying to perfect." he introduced you to an older, balding man, he offered his hand and you shook it.
"I remember, what do you need me to look at?" You asked.
"Doctor Osborne if you would follow me please." He ushered her over to a lab station, which held several green serums, it also held many, many lab rats. You frowned.
"You can't keep that many rats in one area. You can have 4-5 in a larger area, I can draft enclosure plans if you require them, are you giving them any enrichment?"
"Enrichment?"
"Yes, wood chews, mirrors, toys, scents. Things to keep them occupied, and what are you feeding them?"
"Pellets."
"I'll send you a diet plan as well. I can have the plans for you at the end of the day, I also recommend taking them out and spending time with them."
"Doesn't that seem like a bit much Doctor?" Stromm objected.
"Dr. Rozenswig and Dr. Bennet ran an experiment in 1972 that tested lab rats, those who were given the care that I have outlined had increased size in their cerebral cortex which enlarged the neurons and synapses and found increased chemical activity. Do you know how that would benefit your experiment Stromm?"
"It would give us a higher validity." He concluded.
"Thank you, I will have the outline for you by the end of the week." You shook his hand and walked out back to your office.
Otto was standing outside your office.
"y/n can I come in?" He yelled.
"No!" You heard Olivia yell, you smiled, she had an almost spot-on impression of you, and it was easily mistaken for you through a wall.
"I just want to make sure you're ok." He called out.
"No!" Olivia responded.
"No as in you don't want me to come in or no you're not ok?"
"No!"
"You're not making this easy."
"Could you let me get into my office Otto?" you ask behind him.
He jumped and turned around.
"y/n! How-who-"
"Olivia's in there." You explained.
"You brought the bird?" He asked.
"I brought Olivia yes, as well as Bip and some foster kittens. Would you like to meet them?" You opened the door, to which you found Olivia gnawing on a wood log, Bip and the kittens were asleep, Bip looked up sleepily and yawned. It was always a bonus to have the kittens around, Olivia didn't squawk as much, but she glared at Otto.
"She still doesn't like men, huh?" He asked, standing in the doorway.
"Like all parrots, she's picky with people and has a type."
"So that's a no?"
You laugh as you hand Olivia a macadamia nut, she squawks happily.
"Do you want to see the kittens?" You ask.
"Maybe during lunch, I have a meeting with investors to go to." He grumbled.
"Oh, well I will see you then. I need to create a care guide for Dr. Stromm." You get up and sit down, you set up an extra keyboard, and open up a word document. Olivia hopped down from her perch and began picking at the keys. Otto laughed as he left, closing the office door. When you knew he was gone you couldn't help but erupt in a big, stupid smile as you typed away. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
You were wrong.
