Your Guardian Angel
Chapter 4: Science Project
Jenny walked gracefully into the main room, having put on her old clothes. Torn, with Ashelin at his side, was standing there once again studying a large map on the screen. The couple barely noticed the brunette walking into the room till she was standing right in front of them.
"Torn, is there some type of laboratory around here?" she questioned getting there full attention.
"Yeah, but why would you need it" Ashelin spoke up, not sounding very enthusiastic to see her.
"I've been think a lot lately," Jenny pulled a piece of paper out of her pouch and read over it quickly "And I wanted to test a few hypothesis on Dark Eco if you don't mind. I know a lot of people have tried, but I figured I could get more detail because I don't have to worry about it killing me."
Jenny handed the paper over to Torn. He read over it quickly and nodded handing it back to her.
"That makes perfect sense, I'll show you down there" Torn turned away from Ashelin and started walking down the hall. Jenny followed tucking the piece of paper back in her pocket.
"Hey Torn if Jak comes and asks where I am, just tell him I'm busy and I'll catch up with him later, okay?" Jenny said following the commander quickly down the halls.
Torn nodded, "Sure but why the need to keep it from Jak?"
"You can tell him where I'm at if he asks but I want to try and get most of this done before midnight. With him there I don't think that would be possible. And don't allow anyone in the laboratory. I don't want anyone getting hurt over a little science project!"
Torn nodded again and pushed the door open. Jenny walked inside and Torn followed. The room was completely white. Many beakers and test tubes and Bunsen burners lay on the many lab tables.
"Use anything you want and make sure get rid of ALL the Dark Eco, we don't want somebody to die," Torn turned and walked away then called over his shoulder "OR another Dark Warrior, two is enough!"
Jenny nodded and began to open up cabinets. She found a pair of goggles and an apron in one cabinet. In another she found plants and more test tubes. She smiled, everything she needed was already here except for the Dark Eco.
She also found a micro scope and paper and glass slides. Jenny pulled the micro scope and slides out first after pulling on an apron and goggles, which she had rested around her neck for the time being.
After plugging everything in and getting everything set up, she pulled one of Zan's knives out of its holster on her calf. Jenny brought it up to her finger and lightly pricked it. Blood began to flow from the tiny cut and Jenny held in over the glass slide, letting two drops land on it.
It blood looked normal, but Jenny wanted to see if it really was normal. She placed another slide over it then placed it under the scope. The brunette pressed her eye to the eye piece and focused the vision on it. Just as she thought her hypothesis was correct. The blood had a Dark Eco swimming through it like a virus.
She began to record her results on the notepad she'd stole from one of the cabinets. She quickly grabbed a napkin and placed it to her finger, trying to stop the bleeding.
Jenny cleaned up the slides then began to start on one of her many other hypotheses.
Jenny sighed finally done with her work and done cleaning. She grabbed her notepad and began to read over her conclusions:
Test 1
Blood contained traces of Dark Eco. The DE seemed to be alive, swimming through the blood.
Note: Must test Jak's blood to prove theory.
Test 2
Day1:
Plant A: No DE
Plant B: DE
Plant B showed almost immediate response to DE. After an hour, there was a defiant change in color. Veins of leaves had purple hue to them.
Height:
Plant A: 5 inches
Plant B: 5 inches
Leaves:
Plant A: Three
Plant B: Three
Color:
Plant A: Lime Green
Plant B: Lime Green (Note: Grew darker in less time than I'd thought but still not to dark.)
Note: Must add DE to plants everyday or at least every other day. Measure height every time I come in to see how it has changed.
She nodded, happy with how much work she'd gotten done today and it was only noon. After pulling off her apron and goggles, she headed towards the door. The door swung open before she got to it. Jak was standing there with a smirk on his lips.
"Why such the interest in Dark Eco?" Jak questioned walking with her down the hall.
Jenny didn't let her facial features change, she didn't really want to tell him the real reason. So she just narrowed it down a bit.
"Just curious" Jenny said. She had the notepad tucked under her arm and Jak motioned to see it.
He read over it quickly, "This brings some light to many things. If we reacted the same as the plants it would explain the growth spurt we all went through, including Zan. And also the change in your hair color. Before it was much lighter and now it's just a few shades lighter than black."
Jenny nodded and grabbed the notepad from him. They walked back towards the main room, where Torn was sure to be. Torn turned around and looked at the two as they walked in. He and Samos had been discussing something when the two walked in.
"Get everything done?" Torn asked and Jenny nodded, heading towards the hall that led to their room. Jak stayed and began to talk with the two others.
Jenny headed down the hall till she was at her room. She pulled her key card out of her back pocket that Torn had given her and slid it in front of the scanner. The door clicked open and she walked in, placing her notepad on the table.
She went to sit on the couch only for there to be a knock on the door. Jenny stood up with a sigh and opened the door. It was Tess.
Tess giggled and grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the room. Jenny's eyes grew wide as she tried to keep up with the blonde.
"Where are you taking me?" Jenny asked as they ran into the main room.
All the men looked up and started laughing. Tess ignored Jenny's questioned and turned to the men.
"Mind if I steal her for a few hours?" she questioned though it wasn't necessary.
Torn was the only one able to answer, "Go ahead!"
"TORN!" Jenny screeched as Tess dragged her to the elevator.
Tess just laughed all the way down. As the door slid open, Jenny got even more nervous. Heavenly and Kiera were waiting on them. Jenny gulped and Heaven grabbed her other wrist and dragged her towards a zoomer.
With a sigh Jenny climbed in the zoomer while Heavenly climbed in on the other side. She glared at Heaven for a second then smiled.
"So what kind of torture do you three have planned for me today?" she questioned smirking slightly.
Heavenly rolled her eyes, "Jenny you need to be a girl sometimes, not just a rebel."
"Are you gonna tell me where you are taking me or do I have to guess?" Jenny said as the corners of her lips pulled up into a small smile.
"We're taking you on a shopping spree" Heaven announced, landing in front of a large store.
Jenny groaned as she climbed out of the zoomer and walked beside her best friend into the store. Kiera and Tess, who'd taken another zoomer, walked up beside them and pulled Jenny into the store.
"Is there anything you absolutely need?" Kiera asked looking around the large store.
Jenny tapped her chin thinking, "Yeah, I need night clothes. I've been wearing Jak's T-shirts to sleep in. And maybe some bras and underwear, too."
Heaven raised one dirty blonde eyebrow and did a half smile. Kiera just nodded and walked forward. The rest of the group followed her. The mechanic quickly grabbed some clothes off the stack. It was just a blue tank and short shorts. Jenny shrugged and took them.
Next Kiera dragged her over to the other side of the store and started throwing articles of clothing at her that consisted of bras and underwear. Jenny groaned as the stack got larger. Tess ran off and came back a minute later with a buggy. Jenny dumped the clothes into the buggy as Kiera threw another bra at her. It landed on her head and everyone started to laugh.
Jenny gave a small laugh and threw the bra into the buggy, "How do you all expect me to pay for this, I don't have any money."
"We don't we're going to pay for it," Kiera announced and Jenny opened her mouth to argue only to be quieted be the mechanic "Don't even start! We have plenty of money. Working for the KG did have some perks when you're a mechanic and a certain blonde and brunette keeping destroying their zoomers."
Jenny smiled and sighed shaking her head, turning to look at everything in the basket. She picked up one black lacy bra and raised her eyebrows at Kiera.
"Is this really necessary?" she questioned putting the bra back in the buggy. Kiera just smiled and nodded.
"I don't know if you'll like it…," she started trying to hide her smile "But Jak will!"
"Kiera!!!" Jenny couldn't help but laugh with everyone else. She sighed again then followed Kiera towards another section of the store.
Tess, Heavenly, and Kiera continued to pick clothes out and throw them at Jenny telling her to go try them on. As soon as she got done with one batch another would follow. Though some of the outfits Jenny would never wear in a million years, there were some that she actually like. Those went in the buggy with all the other clothes.
After they were done, they went to the cashier at the front of the store and Kiera paid for everything. It only told up to over two hundred something dollars. Kiera insisted that it wasn't as big of a chunk as Jenny expected to be coming out of her account. According to her it wasn't very much.
Heavenly dragged Jenny to one of her favorite stores while Kiera and Tess went shopping for themselves else where.
Jenny groaned carrying the large, filled to the brim bags towards the elevator. Her arms ached from carrying the bags and that wasn't even all of them. Heavenly had gotten the rest and along with hers. Kiera and Tess had gone to the garage to deposit her clothes and then come to the HQ.
Torn looked up at the two as they walked in with a smirk on his face, "Did you leave anything in the stores?"
Jenny just glared at him, "Where's Jak?"'
"In his room"
The brunette nodded and walked swiftly towards her room. She knocked on the door and Jak quickly answered. He raised his green eyebrow at all the bags.
"Don't say anything!" Jenny hissed, walking towards their room to put up all the clothes.
The closet was packed by the time Heavenly and Jenny had gotten done putting everything away. They plopped down on the bed and laughed.
"We need to do this more often that was fun!" Heaven said turning her head to look at Jenny.
"But next time we take one of the guys to carry all the bags"
Heavenly smiled at this idea.
"So what did you send Austin to do while we were gone?" Jenny questioned looking out the window at the dark sky, it had to be around 10.
"Oh he's just been hanging out around here," Heavenly stated standing up "I better go find him."
Heaven grabbed the remaining clothes that were hers and walked out of the small apartment. Jenny stood up and walked into the closet finding the night clothes Kiera had picked out. She pulled them off the hanger then went shuffling through another rack.
She found the lacy bra. Honestly she'd thought they'd put it back but there it was. She quickly grabbed something simpler and began pulling her clothes off to change.
After she was done, Jenny walked back into the main room where Jak was waiting on the couch. She settled into his lap and sighed when he wrapped his arms around her.
"Did you have fun?" he questioned and Jenny could just hear the smirk in his voice.
"Honestly yes, it was fun to hang out with my girlfriends for the rest of the day. Even if they did torture me" Jenny said then yawned.
She was exhausted. Jak was about to get up and carry her to their room and she was already asleep. He sighed and moved away from her then scooped her up into his arms. He stared down at her with a worrisome expression.
After Jak laid the brunette down, he quickly walked back into the kitchen. He pulled a court order out of his back pocket that had come that day and pushed it into an empty drawer then headed back towards the bedroom.
Me: Well that seems like a good place to stop. Jenny starts a science project, then is forced to go shopping, and Jak gets a mysterious court order. Well till next time!!!!!!!
