Saved By The Bell… Literally

Me and Gwen both shot up straight to see Kendra running into the lab with a large bell in her hands, constantly ringing it and letting a very loud and annoying sound rush through the lab.

“Hey! Ok ok! I get it! Enough with the bell!” I scream as the two of us close our ears, but Kendra continues to ring it with a look of fear and annoyance on her face. She seemed to be scanning the floor urgently, staring, before she glanced back at the two of us.

“Are you two fucking insane? What is wrong with you?” She growled as she continued ringing. “I expected better from you two! As for you!” She glanced over at me specifically and looked me up and down. “I hope you are on Dr Strange’s pregnancy pill.” I just roll my eyes at her words and start to stand up, helping Gwen up as well even though both of our legs were shaking like crazy.

“What the hell are you-“ I start to say again, but then I noticed it… the black sludge on the ground behind Gwen, with one tendril slowly reaching out in my direction. But every time Kendra rang the bell it froze, writhing in pain as it laid on the floor, moving in violent motions but no longer attacking or moving closer to me. My eyes widened and I was frozen in fear, but Kendra quickly locked eyes with it and lurched forward, trapping it inside another glass containment unit and locking the door.

“You two are lucky I got here when I did.” Kendra said as she put the container back on the counter and watched as the symbiote began to settle again inside, looking more like a pile of goo now than a living organism. “You two must have tired it out… and from the looks of things I can see why.” She glances at the two of us and we awkwardly began to hide our shame, using our hands to cover as much of us as we possibly could… which unfortunately wasn’t a lot.

“Thank you Dr Conners…” Gwen whispered under her breath. “I… I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I saw the human experimentation file and-“ Kendra cut her off quickly by raising her hand, a stern look on her face, but it quickly softened as she stared at the pair of us.

“I don’t blame you, neither of you.” She says with a sigh, before glancing over to the symbiote again which slowly started to move again. “When we got this from the lab up state they said that was something they were interested in so I put it in the file… I’d expect two gifted and talented young women like yourselves to want to experiment with it. It is my fault that you two were put in that danger.” She sighed and grabbed the containment unit again. “So that’s why we are getting rid of this thing. Sending it back to the other lab.”

Me and Gwen both stared wide eyed and jaws dropped. “Are you crazy?” I said quickly, which made Conners grow a somewhat offended look on her face. “That… that could be the key to unlocking the next stage of your genetic research and taking it to a whole new level!” I say, quickly realizing I was talking with my hands and my tits were now bouncing freely, so I covered myself once again.

“At the cost of two bright young minds like yourselves? I’m okay with that.” She put the symbiote aside and began walking back to the computer. “Besides… I’ve had great strides in our other research project.” She says as she pulls another green syringe out of the computer.

“Lizard DNA, again?” Gwen asks, raising an eyebrow slightly. “Should you really be doing that Dr. Conners?” She says softly.

“Like you’re the one to talk Ms. Xenomorph.” Conners chuckles playfully. She raises the needle to her neck and, weirdly, I felt a twinge in the back of my neck… a tingle… Spider Sense? Why? I take a quick look around and saw no danger, but as soon as Conners injected herself it exploded like the danger was right in front of me. Conners winced a little at the pain, but then put the syringe aside and smiled. “Now, why don’t you two go get some spare clothes from the locker room, and I’ll drive you both back to the dorms, huh?” She says, playfully smacking both of our butts with a chuckle as she walks past us.

“Um…” I glance over to Gwen whose cheeks were bright red, and she was refusing to look at me. “Ok.” I whisper, and silently we both turned to the locker room to get dressed, and get ready for an awkward car ride home.
