"I wanna see more than just this desert"

Lying had nothing to do with it; Dad had got her onto the internship, and so here she was: one somewhat unwilling intern. Wasn't her fault that she and Dad just had very different ideas of what such an internship should entail, and that she was taking her ideas into her own hands. Honestly, knowing Dad, if he hadn't thought she'd be doing something safe - exactly like cleaning beakers - he would never have pushed so hard to get her into this.

Not that she knew what the scientist was thinking of course. But still.

"Ah... yeah, I guess you should, huh?"

Something about the way the vixen seemed to have switched track when it came to how to deal with her was... well, it was making Gos wary. It could well be a positive thing, but the girl wasn't oblivious to the fact that not many people were prepared to deal with a kid with her level of spirit. And she knew some teachers who would smile like that right before sticking her with detention for a week.

She would have to have a word with reception AND the child's father later however she felt. The Lab didn't usually take on interns that young unless it was a very special occasion and either of the two parties should be aware of the dangers that can come from it... Then again, this city was home to super villains and masked vigilantes, so the scaling of danger levels might be skewed a little.

"My dear, i think you watched one to many action or fantasy movies. This isn't some magical alchemy laboratory. I'm working on creating new medicines, pills, vaccines and the like."

"I just wanted to see something explode..."

Still, she simmered down a little once the test tube was pried out of her hands. The scientist lady had... definitely got her pegged, Gosalyn supposed. Action movies were indeed her jam, right alongside horror movies. She hadn't even considered that they might be giving her an unrealistic view of the world...

But since the only previous lab she'd visited had been a S.H.U.S.H. facility that had lived up to all her expectations, even up to having a time machine, perhaps her misunderstanding could be... a little bit justified.

"So what does that leave that I can do? As long as Dad thinks I should be on this internship, it should at least be worth my time, right?"

A part of her wanted to show the young duck some consequences for her actions... making her do the typical intern work like cleaning out beakers and the like... but... She had never been a big fan of this, even with real interns.

Vayreena could sense some curiosity in Gosalyn, even if it was just for something inane like explosions.. it might spark some more interest in science.

She took a quick deep breath to recollect herself and approached the young duck. "Excuse me, Are you lost?" she asked, still a bit of shock and confusion in her voice but trying to be as calm as possible.

"Ah, nope. I'm pretty sure this is where I'm meant to be."

Maybe some of these were explosive too! She set aside the one test tube only to grab another and give it a vigorous shake. Hey, they were called test tubes for a reason, right? And she was looking to test exactly what they all did.

"Say, you have anything I can pour these on to find out what they do? I bet they have some really cool effects."

Of course she had enough common sense not to just tip them out randomly, that would just be stupid if any of them were indeed something dangerous. But as long as she was expected to be here she may as well act like a scientist. Or at least, what she expected a scientist to act like.

~~Too bad she'd left her own science outfit at home or she could have looked the part too...~~

"So what're you working on over there? Anything cool?"

"My dear, i think you watched one to many action or fantasy movies. This isn't some magical alchemy laboratory. I'm working on creating new medicines, pills, vaccines and the like."

Vayreena held her Lab-ID card to the scanner at the door and entered her lab. She usually was the first to come in even on days with collegues around but several sick calls meant she might have some solitude today. At first the vixen wasn't sure about this transfer. St. Canard wouldn't have been her first choice considering the stories about super villains and super heroes in this place. However, pharmaceutics and medicines were always high demand here... and so far the lab has been state of the art and the work in the lab fairly uneventful.

*SLAM*

The lab door rocked on its hinges as it was kicked wide open by a sneakered foot that was surprisingly powerful for its size. Attached to the foot was a small feathered figure clad in an oversized purple shirt, the look completed by a mop of bright red hair only barely restrained into a pair of scruffy pigtails.

Gosalyn Mallard had entered the building.

"ALRIGHT, let's see what we've got here."

She didn't particularly want to be here; but as long as she was, Gos was going to make the most of it. Before she could be stopped, or even barely acknowledged, the child had dashed over to the first interesting thing in the room to catch her eye: a rack of test tubes that looked to contain various substances. Without stopping to ask permission, the girl plucked one of them out, swirled it around, lifted it up to her eye to scrutinise it.

"So, which of these is the suuuuuper-corrosive acid that can melt through pretty much anything? It's gotta be in one of these, right; I mean, what sort of science lab worth anything doesn't have that sort of impressively dangerous stuff?"

She took a quick deep breath to recollect herself and approached the young duck. "Excuse me, Are you lost?" she asked, still a bit of shock and confusion in her voice but trying to be as calm as possible.
