Henry never really liked hospitals, not since he learned about his friend's heart condition. It's not the building that he dislikes, its the possibility that something could go wrong.

Anything could happen if you are messing with a beating heart.

Clutching a giant galah cockatoo plush, His depressing thoughts disappeared as Henry walked into the white hospital room. The brunette on the hospital bed grey eyes sparkled green as she sketched away.

Walking over to the girl, who finally took notice of her visiter beamed at both his presence and the plush. He happily hands over the plush to her.

Kittina is a great friend, maybe one of the very few Henry can trust. He remembers the day they meet it was at a park, around the time Kittina had graduated from high school. They started talking, Henry was surprised that she is as interested in genetics as she is.

A few weeks after they meet for the first time, He had asked why she was and still is, so interested in genetics, She told him, that if it could bring dinosaurs back to life, maybe it can be used to help people born with defects.

That was the day he learned of his new friend heart condition and the day he got a true hero, a girl of barely 18 years, who constantly fights for her life against her own self.

His reminiscing is brought to a halt as he remembers why he left the park, other than the part that his friend just got out of surgery. He and Vic talked about the new dinosaur, and Henry is conflicted about what to do.

"What do you think about animals being used for military gain," Henry asks as he takes a seat in a chair next to the bed.

"Depends, dogs are already a part of the military, as search dogs and that kind of stuff." She replies with a small sigh.

"To be honest, it depends on what animal and how they were raised and treated by the military. If treated horribly they can become unpredictable and turn on the military." She said after a few seconds.

Henry thought over this, dinosaurs are unpredictable as it was, but a hybrid. What if it did turn on the military, what if they couldn't calm or gun it down?

"Thoughts on hybrids, Kitten?" He asks after a couple of minutes.

"It could go well, depending on the animals chosen. If the hybrid has too much DNA from too many different animals, it could become violent."

"Again, It all depends on the animals the how it was raised and treated." she ends shocking him on her opinion.

It makes sense. Too many animals packed into one would be a handful. And she was right, if the animal is treated wrong, it will either shy away from people or attack them.

"What animals do you think are a bad idea to mix together?" Henry asked.

Kittina smiles at her friend. Scooting over, she pats the spot next to her on the hospital bed. She has a feeling this is going to be a long talk, and hospital chairs can get uncomfortable after sitting in one for a while.
