Hey, people. Sorry it took so long, I was updating a few days go when I got sidetracked and forgot to update this one. Terribly sorry!

"Umm, Becky, can I speak to you?" I asked, glancing towards Violet, "Alone?" I added. Becky nodded.

"Excuse me for a moment, Violet." I took Becky aside.

"What's wrong—"

"There's something wrong with my powers, seriously wrong." I interrupted. She gazed at me curiously.

"Like how?" She asked. I pulled my arm from my sleeve to reveal the fur and the paw. She gasped. I nodded.

"That's what I said. I have to get home as soon as possible; it's the only way to get to the bottom of this." I hid my arm back into my sleeve and folded my arms.

"Well there are some pretty good scientists in Fair City that can help you." Becky offered.

"I guess it's worth a try…" I sighed. I knew there wasn't a very good chance anyone would know how to help me in this town, but if there was someone, it was worth a try to look for.

"I'll bring you by after school. I know someone who's bound to know at least a little something."

Wordgirl knocked on the door of a dark, seemingly lifeless office door. A shadow, slightly darker than the rest of the office, was moving about in the office to open the door. Soon, the door swung open to reveal a taller, older man opened the door.

"Professor Franklin? We need your help." She explained, motioning towards Animalia.

"Of course, I can help you with whatever you need. Please, come in." Wordgirl and Animalia walked into the office and Professor Franklin closed the door.

"What seems to be the trouble, girls?" He asked after getting himself settled.

"Well, my powers aren't working. I mean, they work, but they're out of control. And I've had them for years now." Animalia explained.

"Like how?" He asked.

"Like, my transforming powers are out of control. Earlier today, I had the arm of a lion but my normal body." Animalia explained. Professor Franklin nodded and stood. He went to his different assorted files and started fishing around for something.

"When the superpowers of a hero or villain suddenly act 'on the fritz', it simply means that the hero or villain is receiving a new power." The professor showed them a diagram of the inside of the superhuman body.

"Each super-human has a source of their power somewhere within their bodies. It works like a brain in a way; all the control over your powers comes from that source. If a new power rolls in, it needs space to fit into the source of power; thus affecting the other powers." The doctor explained.

"What new powers?" Animalia asked.

"Why, I don't know. I'd have to test for that." He held up a needle. Animalia, in a panic, grabbed Wordgirl's arm and rushed out.

"NOthanksthat'sokaywehavetogo!" Animalia rambled as they rushed out.

"I can't believe I'm getting a new power. I wonder what it could be…" April suddenly felt an itch on her back and reached to itch it.

"Ugh, there's the one spot on my back that I can't reach and it itches like crazy…" April complained. Suddenly being able to reach it, she itched it and moved on with her day. Becky was quisitive of April's sudden ability to reach an unreachable spot on her back, but decided to leave it alone because it didn't really matter. She'd keep it for a record if they ever wondered about her new power, though.

Becky walked into her house with April after stopping at Professor Franklin's office.

"Where were you today, Becky?" Her father asked after a hello as they walked in.

"U-uh, the library for a little homework time. Dad, this is my friend from school, April. She, uhh, her parents are out of town for a few days and she needs a place to stay. Can she stay here?" Becky asked sweetly.

"Sure, no problem at all." Tim smiled and went about his business.

Sorry for all the short chapters, but that's kind of all I wanted to say for this ?
