Chapter 5: Background Check
Jeanine's POV
This was, by far, the strangest thing that ever happened in my life. I thought, This has to be a dream, right, do I have a concussion or something? I silently pinched myself, and it hurt a ton. Okay. Not a dream. Maybe I'm becoming insane in the membrane. Wait, what about Anya? Does my fam think I'm missing? Oh, I'm dead meat on a stick, I thought. The woman, Zadavia, told us, "Sit down, and I'll explain everything you've been wondering about." I sat between the female rabbit and the duck kid. The rabbit girl looked beautiful. She had tan fur, green eyes, a pink dress, blonde hair, and red heels. She turned to look at me. She smiled at me, and waved. "Hey, I'm Lexi Bunny. Who are you?" I said, "Hi, I'm Jeanine Duff." When she heard my name, Lexi turned around. I didn't know what it was, but she seemed to not like me.
Lexi's POV
The moment I saw this Jeanine girl, I took a liking to her. I even thought for a brief moment that we could be friends, but when she told me her name, that changed. I knew another girl with that last name, and her name was Melanya. We used to be good friends, but now we hated each other. Why is a story for another day. Anyway, I then turned to the other bunny that Jeanine had come with. He was so hot. I instantly took a liking to him. I thought he liked me too, because I caught him glaring at me a few times. Just then, Zadavia came forward.
No One's POV
Zadavia then began talking. "You might be wondering what this is all about. Trust me when I say that I am not someone you need fear. You are all here for the same reason. You were affected by the meteor that had hit yesterday, it's shockwaves specifically, and you started experiencing genetic changes." She briefly paused. The others all looked at each other. So, the meteor was the cause! Just then, Jeanine remembered the dream she had. Zadavia was the woman from the dream! I knew that dream meant something, she thought. Zadavia then continued to speak.
"In case you don't know each other, let me explain." Zadavia then took out seven file folders labeled A. Bunny, E. Bunny, D. Duck, S. Tasmanian, T. E. Coyote, R. Runner, and J. Duff. She opened each of the folders, one by one, and began reading from them. "Ace Bunny, yellow triangle. 18 years old. Son of Jackson "Jackie" Bunny and Evangeline Bunny, younger brother of Sonia Bunny, nephew of Joy Bunny, descendant of Bugs Bunny. Stunt double in martial arts film. Powers gifted: laser vision and optical enchantment." The others were all confused. What did Zadavia mean when she said "yellow triangle" and "power gifted"?
"Elizabeth 'Lexi' Bunny, pink triangle. 18 years old. Daughter of Samantha and Lewis Bunny, older sister of Nicole 'Nikki' Bunny, descendant of Lola Bunny. Freshman at Acmetropolis University; cheerleader. Powers gifted: Brain blast and sonic hearing." "Danger Duck-" Before Zadavia could continue, Jeanine began bursting into laughter. She calmed down and said, "Sorry, you can continue." Zadavia continues reading. "Danger-" It happened again. Jeanine was laughing like crazy. "Jeanine, are ya okay?" Ace asked her. Jeanine responded, "I'm sorry, I just can't. That's gotta so the worst name I ever heard!" Danger appeared to be bugged by Jeanine's comment and muttered, "You're despicable," under his breath. Zadavia then continued speaking.
"Danger Duck, orange triangle. 18 years old. Adopted son of Michael and Karen Telgemeier, descendant of Daffy Duck. Pool boy. Powers gifted: quantum quack and power orb randomizer." Jeanine felt bad when she heard that Danger was adopted. Who knew what the guy had went through? He gave her a death gate, instantly showing that he didn't like her either. Zadavia then continued speaking.
"Slam Tasmanian, purple triangle. 18 years old. Son of John and Paige Tasmanian, descendant of Tasmanian "Taz" Devil. Professional wrestler. Powers gifted: Thunder mode and tornado maximizer." "Tech E. Coyote, green triangle. 18 years old. Son of Rosie T. Coyote, descendant of Wile E. Coyote. Former student at Acme Tech University; inventor. Powers gifted: magnetic manipulation and molecular regeneration." "Rev Runner, red triangle. 17 years old. Son of Ralph and Harriet Runner, older brother of Ripley "Rip" Runner, descendant of Road Runner. Former delivery boy at Quick Wrap Sandwich Shack. Powers gifted: supersonic speed and flight."
"And finally, Jeanine Duff, blue triangle. 17 years old. Granddaughter of Juniper "June" Duff, daughter of Margot and Craig Duff, younger sister of Melanya Duff, descendant of W. H. Duff. Vlogger and social media user; future student at Acmetropolis University. Powers gifted: enhanced flexibility and visions." She put down Jeanine's file after saying this.
The others had somewhat figured our what they were dealing with. They had found out that the meteor's shockwaves had given them superpowers, a few parts of their backstories, and who the others were. Then, Zadavia said, "Our conversation is not finished yet. Please, come along with me." She began walking away. Ace, Lexi, Danger, Slam, Tech, Rev, and Jeanine followed her.
