"Just one more?"
"One more."
Ebony tilted her head away from the man, deciding not to struggle, and he pressed a long needle into her upper arm. After several electroshock tests that day, she was hardly in the mood for the four shots she had just been given.
"Done."
In a second the tall dark haired girl was in the doorway, pausing to look back at the Latino. "I can go?"
"Yes, you may go, but-"
She was gone before he could finish, long pale legs carrying her down the hall faster than his words. Her tail swayed as she darted around lab equipment, protruding from the fine cut hole in her hot pants, just over her tailbone. Her slender fingers rubbed the couple drops of blood on her bare arms, wiping the blood on her black tank top. She was back in the 'dorm halls' in mere minutes. Technically, they were cells, but rooms and dorms had a much better ring to them.
Ebony entered her room and grabbed a quarter sleeve jacket before rushing back off down the hallway. A couple minutes later, lost in thought, she slammed into a man in a lab coat. They were each moving at a brisk pace, so the momentum sent Ebony flying back. She did a quick back handspring to land on her feet, and crouched like an animal, anticipating. The man looked pretty pissed.
"Where are you going so fast, huh Ebs?" He growled, using her nickname in a mean way.
The dark haired girl sighed. "Well, I just got off tests and I haven't eaten since yesterday, so I was probably going to the kitchens... I'm really sorry!" She added a slight bow hoping it might give the man a sense of superiority and leave her alone. She glanced up and could see he was debating in his head whether to punish her or not.
"I can bring you lunch on my way back...?"
He shook his head, softening at the suggestion. As Ebony had hoped, he had decided for no punishment.
"That's alright. Be more careful. Go eat some, we have some fun tests scheduled for tomorrow."
Ebony cringed but nodded, moving swiftly around him and into a patch of shadow before he could change his mind. When he turned, she was nowhere to be seen.
Ebony crawled up a wall, deciding to practice one of her favorite games on her way to the kitchen; Upside down gymnastics. It was pretty fun trying to do flips and such on the ceiling without falling, and if she did fall she often scared someone, which was fun in itself. On her way she passed over two boys, one basically dragging the other.
Though Ebony didn't personally know them, she thought it'd be fun to see how many ceiling walkovers she could do over them, until there paths diverted or she fell. Or if they noticed. Which would be funny too.
Before she had even gotten to seven, they went into a room and the dark haired one came running out without the other, slamming the door. Ebony watched him curiously, but the white haired one didn't come out. Wanting to know what exactly was happening, (had he helped the scientists somehow?) Ebony crawled easily down the wall where he could see her, so he wouldn't be surprised.
"Hi! Can I ask why you would willingly shove your friend in a checking room??" She questioned cocking her head. "Unwilling tests?"
She circled him lithely, recognizing him as a beta subject, meaning that he was one of the twins she had heard about. Interesting.
