Faith & Promises// Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Maurice x Zuri(OC)

Chapter Two

"Meet Chimp 9. Here she is tasking at what is called the Lucas Tower," Will stated as he turned to face the screen board behind him in the meeting room. The board behind him showed Bright Eyes 'playing' with the Lucas Tower. At the table in the room, 11-12 people, including his boss watched him and the presentation.

"The object of which is to move the tower from peg to peg without placing a larger block on a smaller block," Will explained as the board showed how to play the game.

"As expected, she was unable to complete the puzzle at all," Will continued as the screen-board showed Bright Eyes getting frustrated over the task, the words "incomplete" appearing over her.

"Then we gave her and her adopted daughter what we call, ALZ-112, a gene therapy that allows the brain to create its cells in order to repair itself," Will continued as the board behind him showed how the ALZ-112 worked on the brain.

"In biology, this is called neurogenesis. Here, at GEN-SYS, we call a cure to Alzheimer's," Will stated as she nodded at his boss before looking at the people. The people looked at each other and whispered to one another.

"And the girl?" a woman spoke up, getting everyone's attention, especially Will's attention.

"Excuse me?" Will asked her with a raised brow.

"Her daughter, sir. I have heard the other scientists speak about her. Is it true that she has powers?" The woman asked, looking at him with an intense gaze. The people at the table stared at Will before murmuring to each other.

Will didn't know what to do, so he looked toward his boss. His boss gave him a half–smile and nodded his head. He was allowing Will to share info about Zuri. Will gave a slight nod back and cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention.

"Zuri is the most unique and rare test subject were have here. She has done things that we didn't predict were going to happen. Of course, the ALZ-112 worked on her, but more miracles happened," Will explained.

"Donnie, you get her ready?" Franklin asked Donnie, who was standing infront of Bright Eyes' cell.

"She's got stage fright," Donnie said, smacking on his snack like a goat.

"Is that what it is?" Franklin sarcastically asked, not looking away from his computer.

"Is Zuri going to be there?" Donnie asked as he set his snack to the side.

"Of course, my girl is going to be there," Franklin stated sassily.

Donnie let out a deep sigh and typed in the pin to Bright Eyes' cell. Bright Eyes' was under her 'bed', hissing. When Donnie opened the door, she leaped at him and slammed it shut, roaring.

"Hey, ape!" Donnie said as he tried opening the door repeatedly, but Bright Eyes kept slamming it shut. Donnie then slid the door's window open, only for Bright Eyes to grab it and yank it inside, shrieking angrily. The man's face slammed against the door.

Franklin heard all the commotion and looked up from his computer. He got up from his seat and ran over to the scene, grabbing Donnie's arm. The scientists and apes around them paused from what they were doing, looking.

"She's gonna break my hand!" Donnie yelled in fear and pain as he tried to pull his arm away from the angry mother.

"Let go! Bright Eyes! Let go!" Franklin ordered, and Bright Eyes quickly released Donnie's arm. Franklin slammed the window shut as Donnie slammed into the wall behind him. Franklin looked at him with concern.
