FrogFace🐸: You excited for today?!

Uuuuugh... no!

KathKenns🤪: You bet!  I've never been to a real science lab before!  I'm practically bouncing off the walls right now!!!

Another lie.  I live in a science lab.  I was raised in a science lab.  Truth is, I was not excited at all!  Oscorp thinks they're such saints because they're finding cures to diseases and all that stuff.  And sure they're doing good work, but they're killing animals in order to do it.  And with my telepathic abilities, I can read the thoughts of animals as well as people and so going on field trips like this is like mental suicide.  I can't even hear my own thoughts in there... heck, how am I hearing myself right now?!

"Kathryn!  You paying attention?!"  Mrs. Warren glared at me.

"Yes, ma'am!  Just fascinated by the..." I looked at what the tour guide was showing us and threw up a little in my mouth.  "Glowing cat..."

"Pop quiz, Ms. Kennedy!  How long did our guide say that these cats live for following their experimentation?"  I nervously looked between the cat, the guide, Mrs. Warren, and Peter who was next to me.

"Um..." I looked closer at the cat. 
Oh my gosh, it's so sad... so scared...
I clenched my jaw in anger and answered,
"Depends.  The jellyfish genetics don't harm the cats in any way as far as lifespan goes so they can live a normal 2-16 year long life."

"Very good, Ms. Kennedy.  Glad to see you're-"

"However!  Being locked in a box in order to be something for people to awe and coo over for all its life significantly lowers the lifespan due to it not being in its natural habitat-"

"That's enough, Ms. Kennedy!  You can protest when we go on our trip to D.C. later this school year.  For now, I recommend you focus on the guide and stop talking to Mr. Parker."  I lowered my head in shame and saw Peter clench his jaw.

"Mrs. Warren, she wasn't protesting, she was stating facts."  Peter spoke up.

"I know, Peter.  I'm a Biology teacher, I know what kills animals and what does not."
