Soo... First time author here. Hope you enjoy!

Being a shape-shifter isn't necessarily easy, but it is a whole lot more interesting. My name is Alison, but my friends call me Ali. At least they would if I had any friends. I mean, I have Kate, my lovely assistant/partner in crime, but that's about it. Not that I need anymore. Kate's awesome. Anyway, you might find it useful to know, I'm a cat. Sometimes. When I want to be. Dad doesn't like it when I turn into one, says it reminds him of his failures and whatnot, but it's really fun. It hurt at first, but I got used to it, so now I do it all the time.
I also like to sneak into Dad's lab all the time when he's not home. He doesn't want me to go in there, after what happened "last time", but he doesn't have any security (besides a lock, which Kate can pick easily), so we just waltz right in. He's got so many cool gadgets in there, it's hard to believe he's not famous. But he doesn't broadcast or sell any of his stuff to the public, just to private little companies that need it. He stopped working with genes after the incident, so now he's a purely mechanical engineer.
On one such sneaking occasion, after Kate and I watched The Avengers in theaters and our minds weren't completely normal yet, we walked in and saw a machine. We hadn't gone in in a while because Dad was always working on something in there, so now we finally got to see it. It was shaped more or less like a box, about the size of an oven, with some weird switches and things. Kate, being Kate, immediately went over and flipped a switch. Nothing happened.
"Eew, it's wet!" She remarked. I came over.
"Could be toxic. Maybe you should wash you hands."
She laughed, but went into the restroom anyway. I looked down at the machine. I had the sudden urge to touch it, so I reached out, and placed both hands on the top.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-
My eyes widened. I tried to yank my hands back, but I couldn't. They were stuck.
-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-
I felt the machine vibrating. Crap. Was it just me, or were my hands staring to glow? At the last moment I remembered something.
"KATE!" I screamed,
ZAP!
A/N Hey guys, this is my first fic, so be nice. Sorry it was so short. The wetness was just water, I only did that to get Kate out of the picture. She's important though! She'll come back later. Tell me what you think, I probably won't post very often, but I'll try my best. ~I.A.
