"Don't push me!"
"I'm not pushing you, I'm climbing the stairs!"
"Stop arguing!"
"Who put you into this conversation?"
The citizens of Paris looked to the entrance of the catacombs as four people popped out of it. They decided to ignore the odd pair of people and walk on.
Dusting off his pants, Luke looked to Katherine.
"How do you think this thing works?" He asked, hoping there was some way to figure out to get this stupid green goop away from them.
"Well, it seems to be a carbon-fiber interlocking gel that is being used as a restraint to keep us together, that much I know. It seems to be much stronger than most carbon-fiber bonds; it's like a polymer, only much more complicated..." Katherine answered, trailing off at the end as she figured out more. "It must have a system of DNA identification! I mean, how else could it have figured out we were related and stuck us to each other!"
Jane looked at Katherine and twitched.
"You lost me at: 'Well, it seems to be a carbon-fiber'."
Thomas turned to Katherine.
"So what you're saying is that this thingy-majigger, whatever-it-is, is keeping us bound to each other? That's just awesome." He dead-panned sarcastically.
"What do you expect we do, Mr. Big Strong Man?" Jane snapped.
"I suggest we get a sharp object and cut ourselves free, afterwards I can shove it down your throat and-" Thomas suggested then stopped as he felt a constriction in his throat. Instinctively he grabbed his neck and started gasping.
As soon as it began it ended.
"What was THAT!" He cried.
"Apparently, this carbon-fiber gel seems to know when to hurt us for being horrible to each other," Katherine suggested, pointing to the thinning green line around Thomas's neck.
"So this gel expects us to be nice to each other? That's impossible!" Luke exclaimed.
Katherine glared at Luke hoping he'd just shut up. There was a scientific anomaly right in front of them and all he was worried about was the impossibility of them being actually civil to each other. Just as her thoughts ended, the four of them bumped into a group of three.
Thomas, the rash one, growled at them.
"Watch where you're going, dingbats!"
The younger boy in the group of three stepped forward.
"All watch where I'm going when you watch your temper!" The boy snarled.
"D-D-Dan, y-you d-d-d-d-don't n-need to b-be mean to h-him..." The some-what older girl stuttered.
"Yeah, Dan, listen to Amy and just leave to beef-head alone," A girl with two-toned hair, a nose ring, and headphones around her neck coaxed.
"Look, Dan, since that's your name, you better watch your mouth before I punch it so hard your teeth-" Thomas growled but was suddenly stopped by a sharp pain in his mouth and teeth.
Luke, Katherine, and Jane gasped.
"You-you guys are C-Cahills..."
