Dad looks at me first blackly then quickly fills with fury, “Why would you undermine your own family for a bunch of... of” Dad Stamers trying to find the right word.
“Tyrants” Suzzie supplies out of sight of my father.
“Exactly” Dad says before his eyes go wide realizing we're not alone. I giggle as Suzzie's hands reaches for my brother's jacket. I look at her and she grins as she gets the jacket off me and starts to run. I step out of dad's view so he couldn't see me naked.
“Get back in front of the camera” dad urges.
“I kind of can't Suzzie has decided to go on with my brother's jacket so I'm kind of naked” I tell him nervously.
“Saria isn't Suzzie you pet panther” mom asks.
“Suzzie is as she should be without your meddling though there is side effects” I say as Suzzie runs back in with Darek running after her.
“You changed her back” dad says sounding pleased and shocked.
“I need to stop finding you naked sis it damages my brotherly mind of you” Darek says giving me his jacket back, from an unhappy Suzzie, which I slip back on.
“Is that Darek I hear” mom asks.
“Yes mom its me” Darek says as er come into their view again.
“Are you with the rebels son” dad asks.
“Of course I am someone has to watch over Saria as you told me many times protect and cherish your little sister above all others including me and your mom” Darek says glowering at them.
“Why are you angry son” mom asks.
“I'm not human I never was until you made me into one” Darek says unhappy. I look at Darek as I say goodbye to my parents before I cancel the call.
“Are you done with the suit yet the teams really need it” Darek says changing my train of thoughts.
“The S.C.P.S. Is almost done it just needs a few more things” I tell him.
“What things does it need” Darek asks as I pull up the file on it.
“I'm working on some full body suit version that protects everything but allowing the person to breath and see too. There's just one thing that would make it even better though” I say.
“What is it that makes it even better” Darek asks.
“Active camo on stand still” I say excited. Dareks eyes widens as a smile forms and he says “That would make it military wanted you can't do that or they will begin questioning you about how a bunch of rebels got your project”.
“I'll be fine” I tell him before shoving him out and I head to my room just be behind my laptop as it shuts down. I lay on my bed looking at the ceiling wishing my family was just slightly different then it is. At the age of fourteen I was out if high school at the top of my class while Darek was still in eighth grade 'lagging behind' his brilliant little twin sister. It didn't help that I had tons of college credit from over the years of the classes my dad made me do this allowed me to graduate with masters in Genetics at eighteen , my father wanted me to get a PHD but I refused. Now here I am about a year later in of the elusive leaders of a band of rebels nicknamed The Basilisk.
I've been named 'The Dragon', Darek 'The Hell hound' and Suzzie the last of the three leaders 'The Wildcat' though we have never figured out, except for Suzzie, why we were nicknamed thus. Darek now that we found out he used to be a German shepherd puppy makes since being 'The Hell hound' for when he is angered he is like a hound out of hell just in human form. Suzzie is easily explained for her wild fortuity in battle and her can ears and tail well actually its panther but still its a cat. With me my nickname 'The Dragon makes no since I don't go out into battles that's Suzzie and Dareks job I stay here mostly if I'm not working on my working on my many projects. It could be the small tattoo I have that gives me my nickname though no one knows I'm with The Basilisk I'm just the Mercel's daughter out of these doors. I mainly map out animal DNA and find out what each strand is used for when I'm not working on a side project.

I look up as my door opens and Drake, Anya, Kane and Emma enter.
“I'm sorry did we disturb you” Emma asks politely.
“No, not at all Emma just lost in thought” I say sitting up.
“You're always lost in thought Saria” Drake says laughing. I look up at my eyes widening at his since of humor.
“You look so innocent” Drake says ruffling my hair.
“How exactly am I innocent Drake” I ask curious since no one in my family has ever been called that.
“Your wide green eyes for one... no what have they changed color on us” Drake says startled and I began to feel confused. Emma's eye widen as she looks at me.
“What is it Emma” I ask her.
“Your eyes change colors” Emma tells me.
“Oh really” I say playfully.
“Yes really its weird” Drake says as Suzzie comes flying into the room to tackle me.
“Darek's chasing me save me” Suzzie says and images of Suzzie running through the complex shortly followed by an angry fuming Darek and I suppress the laughter bubbling up my thoughts keeping them from spilling into the world. The laughter bursts out as Dark bursts into the room fuming. He glares at me and I jump up to land on my feet next to him as he glares at me some more. I give him a grin before I run off disappearing around the corner as a phone begins to ring in my lab. I give a sigh as I see that it's my military phone ringing before I pick it up. Immediately I hear canine Tsunami say “Little Diamond it's good to hear you but your services are needed”.
“What services do you need” I ask.
“We need you to use your genetic abilities” Canine Tsunami says.
“Oh who and why” I ask.
“Dirty Unicorn, Shiny Rose and, you're not going to like this, Cuddly Tiger are within minutes of your current location for the genetic program” Canine Tsunami says before hanging up the phone. I sigh as I head into my room again this time to change into actual clothes.
When the car pulls up out comes a woman with long blond hair and a generous figure whom I recognize from a picture Shiny Rose sent me. Another woman with the looks to score a 7 or 8 on the 1-10 scoring some guys do whom has to be Cuddly Tiger. Then a man with a fine sculpted body climbs out of the drivers seat must be the Dirty Unicorn.
“You are” Shiny Rose asks me as Dirty Unicorn unloads three military bags out of the trunk. I motion for them to follow me and as we make our way to my lab and the extra rooms placed there for times like this. As Dirty Unicorn setts the bags down I ask “Why do you want me to mess with your DNA”.
