Kit was scowling and kicked a guard who dared to offer her a chair. Gigi, like Jay, had her hands shoved deep into her pockets and said nothing, but kept glancing at her friends who were shouting encouragement. .
Dr. Loe put the paper back into his pocket and signaled for the guards to take the children away. They saluted and brought the jeeps over, then slowly helped the teenage children in. Meanwhile, in the back seats made of fine black leather, the three boys and three girls-who were in separate jeeps-chattered excitedly amongst themselves. Leo was the first to speak. "Dude, I wonder what animal I'll get! Hopefully something fast and strong and." Xander held up a hand. "Cool it. We don't get to choose them, you know. As long as my animal isn't a turkey or pig or something, anything will do." Both boys looked at Jay, who was staring out the window. "Hey, man, ya can't be missing your parents already, we haven't even gotten fifteen feet," Leo said. Xander frowned and jerked a thumb towards the drivers. "Yeah, 'cause these guys want to take their time. They're not the ones getting injected." Jay looked at them. "I don't miss my parents. I just don't think I'll qualify as some kind of superhero." That said, he turned back to window. .
Belinda, applying her make-up, asked, "So, how do I look? Like a beauty queen, right? Yeah, that's what I thought." Kit rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Unless your boyfriend's a scientist or guard, there's absolutely no reason to be putting on make-up. Oh, and, did I like.mention you look like a clown?" Belinda sneered. "You're just jealous." Kit laughed. .
"Yeah, right. I'm sorry, but I don't plan to join the circus when I grow up. I want to have a less funny job then that." That did it. Belinda leaped at Kit, who ducked. A guard in the front spun around. "Girls! Knock it off!" he bellowed. Belinda settled down, but continued to shoot hateful glances at the smirking blonde.
