Money really was the root of all evil, that was all there was to it.

Barely eighteen years old all Angel had been trying to do was find a way to make ends meet, not the easiest thing for a college student living alone even with her scholarships since they didn’t cover everything that she needed. So when she saw the advertisement pinned to the bulletin board in the lobby of her dorm she had naturally been interested. Supposedly this was for some kind of clinical research deal and since the only requirement was to be a female between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five Angel had thought that it was just for some sort of study so she’d gone to the address that was listed on the flyer. The building itself was imposing upon first sight and Angel almost backed out before even stepping one foot inside but decided against that at the last moment, which was a decision that was going to haunt her for a long time to come. Taking a deep breath she entered the building and told the receptionist that she was there in regards to the clinical trial, holding up the flyer for further clarification, and the woman looked her up and down and then nodded, giving her some forms to fill out and then directing her to a small waiting area. Nodding her head she took the clipboard and walked over to the chairs, flipping through the papers that she had been given and scanning them before she did anything else and at first they seemed normal enough, just basic information like name, age, height weight as well as some specific medical questions.

However when she reached the back page she realized that it was a waiver of some kind and that immediately raised red flags, the girl scanning the page and immediately getting to her feet, dropping the clipboard and heading for the door. It had been fine print and she was thinking they put it at the back of the rather large stack of paperwork so that people would be tired of dealing with it by the time they reached it and would just sign but she was no fool and wasn’t signing anything without reading it. And of course when she read the thing the words ‘genetic testing’ immediately jumped out at her and although she didn’t quite understand what that mean she wasn’t going to take any risks, she wasn’t that desperate for money. Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to her, the receptionist had seen her attempting to make a break for it and had pressed a hidden button in front of her. Angel was nearing the door, her hand just reaching to open it, when she suddenly felt a cloth being pressed to her face, covering her nose and mouth. Angel struggled against the arms that were holding her, her small hands gripping the one that was holding the cloth against her face however a strange scent filled her nostrils and her mind began to grow hazy, the girl struggling to think straight however that was a losing battle and soon enough she went limp.

How much time passed after that was difficult to say, Angel drifting in and out of a drug induced haze for a while, completely unaware of her surroundings and what was being done to her. The one thing that she did know, in those brief moments when she was conscious, was that her body felt strange, as though it were on fire. There was of course nothing that she could do about that, she could barely move, her body felt so heavy on top of as though it were burning from within.

“Subject PF13-0666, formerly known as Heaven Leigh Lawliette,” a detached voice said, sounding far away to her ears and yet at the same time strangely vivid. “Eighteen years old female, formerly a college sophomore so that indicates a high IQ...” The lab assistant had been dictating information for a recorder that she was holding however when she noticed that the girl was starting to stir she announced that to the others in the room. This was the first out of thirteen subjects that had actually made it through the initial ‘treatments’, the others having succumbed to madness or else been too deformed to be of any kind of use to this program. Of course those failures had been humanely euthanized since they weren’t capable of functioning in normal society or even really functioning at all, some suffering from a disorder that was akin to rabies while the others had gross and often times painful abnormalities. This one however was the first to show actual promise and as a result of that she was getting a great deal of attention right now. Which was of course the reason for the room full of people, everyone wanting a glimpse of the ‘success’. “And it appears as though she is waking up,” the assistant said as she noticed the fact that the subject was stirring.

It was at this point that the voice stopped speaking, Angel forcing her eyes open for the first time in, well she wasn’t even sure how long it had been but long enough for the bright lights that were shining overhead to hurt her eyes and that in turn caused her to squint against the light. “Wh-where am I?” she murmured before catching sight of a group of strangers and actually hissing, this noise coming as a complete shock to her since Angel hadn’t even been aware that people could make noises like that, or at least not ones that sounded so…feline. It seemed strange that such a noise had even came from her, surely human vocal cords couldn’t even make that noise. As though to test that she tried to raise a hand to her throat but it was at this point she realized that she was restrained, both wrists and both ankles firmly strapped to the bed that she was laying on. That served to get her attention fully and she shook off the grogginess, or at least tried to, Angel lifting her head so that she could look down and it was then that she noticed what she was wearing, her face burning bright red as she realized that they had changed her clothes. Instead of the jeans and sweater that she’d been wearing when she came to this place she was dressed in what could have easily passed for hospital scrubs, a plain white v-neck shirt, white pants with a drawstring, and white socks with no shoes.

“Ugh, institutional white,” she murmured, having an odd sense of humor even in this rather dire situation. Her blue eyes darted around as she tried to figure out just what the hell was going on and who these people were that were standing over her and staring at her as though she were some puzzle or something that they had to solve. This only served to further anger her and although Angel wasn’t typically prone to such things she demanded, “Someone tell me what the hell is going on!” Her voice sounded hoarse as she said this and that bothered her to a degree though she wouldn’t have been able to explain why that was. Feeling panicked at this point, unable to figure out what was going on or even where she was right now, Angel’s heart started to race, an alarm sounding to alert the staff to this and that piercing noise hurt her ears more than she would have thought possible. Although she was still disoriented Angel was starting to become a little more aware and she noticed that there was something around her neck, that something actually being a tracking collar bearing her ID number. The teen’s hands twitched, Angel desperately wanting to pull off whatever was around her neck, she couldn’t see what it was, but being that she was restrained that wasn’t possible and that only served to freak her out all the more.

“Subject’s pulse rate is 220,” the lab assistant announced to the room before making a note of that in a file that she was carrying, the woman looking down at the girl that was strapped to the gurney and saying, “You need to calm down, right now.” Of course the cold way that she was talking really didn’t serve to make Angel want to be cooperative with the woman and so she just hissed again, the sound still strange to her ears but for the moment that was the least of her concerns.

Thirty-six year old scientist Ian Malkali was the man behind Project FELINES. It had been him that first came up with the theory, found the sponsors, hired a crew and finally developed most of the formulas for the actual injections that they used to change the 'volunteers' into his creations. Each failure probably would have discouraged a lesser man, but Ian was nothing if not persistent and he managed to convince his backers that they were just minor setbacks and to continue to fund his research. This time it seemingly paid off but he wasn't about to get too excited about that since he knew that this was a very early experiment and this subject could relapse or negative side effects could occur. That was why he'd decided to keep this one with him 24/7 to make sure that she was not going downhill and if she did he would be there quickly to fix things with her. He was in the room when the research assistant was making her notes, talking about the most recent subject and he eyed the girl on the table who had successfully grown ears, a tail, fangs and claws. he hadn't seen her eyes yet but he was sure that if all the other adaptations had taken this time then her eyes would dilate and recede like a cats when she was focusing on something as well. He was quite pleased with this success, but it didn't show as he kept his clinical detachment and watched things from the eyes of a scientist as he kept an eye on her vitals and listened to the assistant. He ignored the other people in the room for now since they were insignificant and they worked for him anyway so he really didn't need to pay attention to them, his full attention on the girl and those who didn't know him would say his look was predatory but he was not interested in her for that he was interested in her for the data she could provide for his research.

He stood when she woke up, listening to her as she made her comment about institutional white and making a mental note that the subject still maintained a human sense of humor. He would write that in his observation journal later right now he had a very good memory so he was just keeping mental notes complete with timestamps. He stood aside as the girl started to freak out, his eyes flicking to the heart monitor when his assistant announced that her pulse was high and he made an irritated snorting noise when he watched her coldly tell the girl that she needed to calm down. He decided to intervene at that point before his subject could make herself pass out or give herself a stroke and waste all his hard work and the millions of dollars that he'd spent getting his formula correct to create her. He walked over and shooed the assistant away, reaching out to stroke the girls head and scratch behind her ears as if she were a cat, since if his research was correct she would react the same way an agitated cat would in response to that gesture and calm down even if she didnt' want to. "Hello Angel, I am sure this is very confusing for you but you do not have to be afraid we are not going to hurt you. You are part of the FELINES program remember? This is just part of the tests and we will untie you once you calm down a bit. My name is Dr. Malkali, I'm going to be working with you for a while and make sure you're doing alright" He said, his voice calm but not really sounding very caring since he honestly didn't care about her he just wasn't being as cold and distant as his assistant he was speaking to her as one would to an agitated animal that needed soothing than anything else.

[CleverFox]

The lab assistant really didn't know anything about actual cats so she couldn't attempt to calm the girl by using her baser instincts as an advantage so she just coldly told Angel that she needed to calm down. Not that this worked since the girl just seemed to get more agitated and the woman actually moved to get a syringe that was pre-filled with the same sedative that they had been using on Angel throughout the experiments but before she actually got the chance to inject the girl and bring this little episode to an end Dr. Malkali intervened and she obediently stepped aside when bidden to do so because he was the one that signed her checks so she wasn't about to disobey or even question.

Angel had no idea of just how much she had changed during the time span that she couldn't even remember but she was definitely going to freak out once she got the chance to see herself in a mirror. For the moment all she knew was that she was tied to a gurney via straps on her wrists and ankles, and that she had something around her neck and that coupled together with being surrounded by strangers would be enough to freak anyone out. So she demanded to know what was going on and wasn't the least bit happy when the only response she got for that was being told to calm down in a voice that was cold and completely uncaring.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Angel snapped, her eyes flashing as she glared at the woman, another hiss leaving her lips and that wasn't really helpful in inducing calmness. Rather it had the opposite effect and her heart rate jumped still higher as she literally screeched, "Why do I keep doing that?!" She didn't understand any of this, her eyes darting to the man that was approaching her and the only description she could find for him was sinister. That was the way that he struck her the moment that she laid her eyes on him and a low growling noise formed in her throat as he drew closer, the hair on her newly formed cat ears and the tail that was dangling over the edge of the bed with the tip flicking back and forth agitatedly was actually standing on end. "Back off!" she snapped as he reached a hand out to her but the instant that she felt him caressing her head and scratching...it wasn't her head really but Angel was confused about that one so she tried to dismiss it...she felt a calmness start to spread over her despite her attempts to remain wary and on edge.

When told that she was part of some project she shook her head and said, "No, I'm not part of anything. I didn't agree to this so you can't keep me here, this is kidnapping." Her words started out forceful but her anger and her efforts to pull free from the restraints that held her had served to tire her so her voice lost some of the venom. "I don't wanna be part of any tests, I just wanna go home so just let me go." The way that he was speaking to her made it sound like he was talking down to her and since she was an intelligent girl she didn't like that the least bit and she couldn't fathom why he was doing it unless he was just one of those male chauvinists or something. "What do you want?" she finally whispered, her voice having gone from loud and demanding to soft and fearful in the span of only a few minutes, the harsh reality of her situation starting to set in.

She was at the mercy of someone that she wasn't even really sure had any to give.

[animefangirl]

Ian probably should have thought to screen his researchers and assistants based on their experience with the animal that he had chosen to splice his test subjects with, but that thought actually hadn't occurred to him, he'd been much busier coming up with the formulas and the science behind the experiment. He realized that he was going to have to remedy that oversight now though, since he was not going to have his staff frightening his subjects until they had strokes or had to be sedated since he needed them alive and conscious so he could run his tests and see what sort of abilities they had now. Abilities that could be genetically implanted into soldiers and make super-soldiers that were more agile, durable, flexible, and stronger than humans while still being pliable so they didn't take over. His work was his life, and he'd spent his lifetime coming up with it, so he was not going to let some cold woman ruin that for him.

After shooing his assistant away with the mental note that he was going to order all his staff members to get cats today if possible, he turned his attention to his project. He smirked when she screeched out her question about why she kept hissing like that, the man sort of amused by her reaction to her new vocal abilities but he didn't answer he just introduced himself and petted her. He was watching her carefully so he was able to see that it was working and that interested him so he made a mental note of it. He listened as she protested that she wasn't part of anything before demanding to be returned home. "I'm sorry Angel but that isn't a possibility right now. There were some effects of the tests that need to be taken care of before you can leave" He said, his voice still soothing as if speaking to an animal and he never stopped petting her since that seemed to work at keeping her calm despite the serious situation she found herself in. When she went on to ask him what he wanted he gave her a considering look, wondering how much of her former intelligence she still possessed and how much had been lost in the procedure.

So far it seemed she was coherent enough, she remembered the past and that she hadn't really signed up for the tests at any rate. "I already told you, I want to make sure you are okay after the complications of the project." He said to her, his hand never ceasing to stroke her head since he wanted her calm right now not flying off the handle about to attack him if she were free to do so. "Are you feeling any ill effects? Anything that feels strange to you at all. Try to calm down so you can pay attention to how you're feeling instead of panicking, there's no reason to panic you're safe here" He said, his voice once again reassuring as he stroked her soft hair which now had the texture of a cats rather than a human so it was long and silky and had turned nearly white which he thought was interesting and did not yet have an explanation for but he would get around to that in due time. Right now this was the first experiment that actually came through coherent enough to ask questions and expect intelligent answers from so he was pleased about that and he wanted to see what she had to say, if she chose to cooperate and answer him that is. Once she calmed down he would release her from the table but they'd been careful to remove all shiny surfaces so she couldn't see herself until she'd had time to get used to the idea that she was different now, since he didn't want her freaking out and clamming up on him.

[CleverFox]

Angel was trying as hard as she could not to be calmed by the way that he was rubbing her head but it was more than she could do and a soft purring sound actually startled her, the girl blinking her eyes in surprise before looking to Ian with a look that quite plainly screamed out, 'WTF?'. At this point she was more than confused by the sheer strangeness of her situation and she demanded to be returned home, frowning when she was told that it wasn't possible, this not even close to the answer that she wanted from the man and that got another low growl from the girl, the tip of the tail that she had yet to realize that she even had flicking back and forth rapidly. "I don't want you taking care of anything other than untying me and letting me leave," Angel told him in a huffy tone of voice, the teen pulling at the restraints that were wrapped around her wrists hard enough to actually rock the gurney that she was laying on. Luckily for her the restraints were lined in lamb's wool to keep the thick leather from biting into her skin so she wouldn't hurt herself too badly doing that but still she could end up with bruises if she tried too hard. "If you let me go now I promise I won't go to the police and report you for kidnapping me," she added in a growling tone of voice. Okay so it wasn't technically kidnapping since she'd came to the place willingly enough even if it was under a false pretense but she didn't know the difference between that and unlawful detention since law hadn't been her area of study.

When he gave his answer to her demands to know what they wanted she narrowed her eyes a bit in response to that since it just seemed stupid to her and she wasn't doing anything to hide that fact from him. Mainly because she didn't care if he realized she thought he was stupid at this point even if that wasn't a very smart thing to be doing on her part. When he started asking her all sorts of questions about how she was feeling Angel hissed yet again and retorted, "You wanna know how I'm feeling? Like I would love nothing more than to choke your eyes out." That was about as much as she was willing to tell him at this point so she pretty much ignored everything else that was being asked of her, pretending as though he wasn't even speaking and all the while giving him the classic feline 'you are annoying and I'm not listening to you' look. Angel didn't realize that she was doing it of course but that wasn't really all that surprising given the circumstances.

After deciding that she'd talked to the man enough Angel resumed her efforts to pull free from the restraints, actually managing to strain the leather since she was stronger now than she had been before. And while she was tugging at them the teen tried twisting her wrists in an attempt to wiggle free of the restraints if tugging them turned out to be as pointless as she was thinking it was going to be. Angel was feeling frustrated at this point and a bit of her panic was renewed when she couldn't manage to free herself despite that she was struggling rather valiently. Feeling a wave of despair crash down upon her at the sheer hopelessness of the situation she looked up at the bright lights of the ceiling and whimpered, "Luke..."

Angel didn't even know why she was calling out to her big brother in this moment, considering he was long since dead and unable to help her in anyway. It was probably because he was the closest thing to a parent she'd had since her mother had been less than useless and only out for herself, often times leaving her two children alone so that she could go out and buy drugs. Because of that Luke and Angel had more or less raised themselves, the boy having been her rock and the one that she had clung to in a world filled with uncertainty, right up until the day he had been taken from her by a bullet fired in a drive by. A random act of violence caused by something they had no involvement in, had taken her brother from her.

Taken the only family she really had.

And now, in this desperate situation, she was calling out to him in the hopes that her guardian angel might somehow find a way to protect her from this man that was currently filling her with feelings of fear as well as frustration and anger. Not that she really, logically, thought that was possible but she didn't have anything else that she could do since demands to be released had failed and her attempts to gain her freedom herself were likewise fruitless.

[animefangirl]

Ian actually grinned a tiny bit at the 'WFT' look that she gave him when she started to purr in response to what he was doing, the man somewhat amused by that even though he really couldn't care less what she thought about things now that she'd gone through the procedures she was more like a really neat pet than a human in his eyes. His next experiment was going to be on a child if this worked out, so he could see how the process worked with a creature that had yet to hit puberty, but first he needed to make sure that she was a success story so he could keep getting funding. He was bound and determined to go down in the history books for this one, he had defied God and won! He did not let that feeling linger though, he had more practical things to be thinking about, he could congratulate himself later. He calmly told her that she couldn't go home and he smirked when she huffily told him to untie her and let her leave before promising not to go to the police if he did. "I didn't kidnap anyone, you came here of your own volition and signed consent forms and wavers to go through the experiment" He pointed out, though she had not actually signed the last page one of his employees had done it for her since it was childs play to forge a signature perfectly for people like them.

A few moments later he asked her how she was feeling, actually wanting to know so he could see if there were side effects of the procedure and he frowned when she just got hostel with him again and threatened him. He wondered if that was part of her personality before the procedure or if this aggression was something that she'd picked up thanks to the drugs he'd pumped into her system that turned her genes partially feline. "Well, we will just have to deal with that aggression later" He murmured, nodding at his assistant to let her know to record that down. He watched her trying to free herself again at that point, noting how she was shaking the bed she was tied to and while he heard her whimpering out the name 'Luke' he of course had no idea what the significance was behind that nor did he care since he did not think it was important for his research.

"Jenny, get me the mild sedative so I can get her to her room." He said, holding his hand out for the syringe and once the assistant handed it to him he injected it right into the IV tubing that was already in Angel's arm. It was fast acting so he just stood there and waited for her to enter the twilight half-awake half-asleep state that she would end up in thanks to the meds he just gave her and then he unstrapped her wrists and ankles. "It is time to move her, I will take over the observations from here, you all start analyizing the data we already gathered" He instructed, holding his hand out for the notes that Jenny had been taking and then he picked Angel up and carried her bridal style to his apartment. He lived in the building because he was the epitome of the guy that took his work home, he lived for this research and he never wanted to be far away from it so he'd moved into the building so he could be minutes away if ever needed. He had a special room set up for her and he carried her inside.

It had a window but it was blocked by a removable locked panel of the wall since he did not want her seeing her reflection in any surface yet. The walls were painted blue since that was supposed to be calming and the blankets on the full sized bed were also blue but not the same shade. There was a dresser for clothing and a small bookshelf with a selection of books ranging from many different genres so she could find one she liked and occupy herself when he wasn't there. There was also two sets of doors, both that locked, just in case she managed to slip past him with the inner door she would just end up in a closet-sized room with another door so escape was pretty much impossible and the room was located on the 30th floor so even if she got the panel off the window she couldn't jump or climb out. He laid her on the bed and then locked her in, going to a room adjacent to hers and looking at the computer screen there since there was a camera that would run constantly so he could keep an eye on her, and he waited for her to wake up.

[CleverFox]

Angel issued a noise that was somewhere between a hiss and a growl when he informed her that he hadn't kidnapped anyone and that she had signed consent forms and wavers, the girl shaking her head even as she subconsciously pinned her ears back against her head in a posture that positively screamed out 'aggression'. "I didn't sign anything, all I did was fill out the personal information part of those stupid papers... I don't sign anything without reading it and I wasn't fool enough to sign after I did," Angel told him in a huffy and indignant tone of voice since she just didn't like the fact that he was insulting her intelligence by saying something like that to her. "And a handwriting expert can prove if you forged my signature." Mainly because they wouldn't have a sample of her actual signature since she rarely signed her real name to anything and she hadn't signed their forms. She knew that she hadn't and there was nothing that this psychopath could say that would convince her otherwise.

The aggression that she was currently displaying really wasn't something that was a part of her personality before, she'd been shy to the point of being almost withdrawn with anyone save for her brother and it had gotten even worse when she lost Luke. She couldn't talk to people and would sometimes even develop a slight stutter when she grew nervous but none of that was manifesting itself right now. Currently she was just freaked out and annoyed, two feelings that were currently dueling with one another and making her seem almost to the point of having dissociative identity disorder with the way that she kept bouncing back and forth. When Ian muttered about dealing with the aggression later Angel had no trouble hearing him, one ear pricking slightly and shifting in that direction as she glared at him. "Just try dealing with it and see what it gets you," she hissed at him in a tone that was clearly a threat. That was another thing that she wouldn't have dreamed of doing before since she was paranoid of getting into trouble but apparently the drugs that she was unaware had been pumped into her system had served to make her a bit more aggressive. Whether or not her original personality was still buried in there somewhere was just something that would have to remain to be seen.

Hearing him ask for a sedative once again served to freak the teen out and she thrashed around on the bed even more furiously when she watched the woman hand a syringe over to the creepy guy in white, the girl shaking her head and eying the syringe warily as she said, "No, you're not sticking me with that thing." Unfortunately there was really nothing that she could do about it seeing as she was tied to the bed and she mewled in a rather pitiful way as she was stuck with the needle, her eyes widening a bit before she glared at the man. She hated that he seemed completely able to do whatever he wanted and there was nothing that she could do however that thought faded as Angel felt her body start to grow heavy. It was hard to focus and try as she might the teen couldn't fight against the drugs for very long, Angel shaking her head in an attempt to remain coherent but that was a lost cause and soon enough she was trapped in that state between sleep and wakefulness. As a result of that she was vaguely aware of the fact that she was first unstrapped and then picked up but she couldn't take advantage of that much to her chagrin.

Soon enough, or all too soon depending on how you wanted to look at it, Angel found herself placed on a bed in a room that was painted a light blue. She tried to push herself up from the bed but her muscles felt paralyzed and she couldn't manage to do that, the girl actually completely losing consciousness for a short period of time. Or at least it felt short to her, it could very well have been awhile since there was no way for Angel to tell time where she was, she couldn't even tell whether it was day or night. Recovering from the drugs she slowly pushed herself to a partially sitting position, rubbing at her wrists where the restraints had been wrapped before she got to her feet. Angel looked around for a brief moment before she spotted the door, the teen walking across the room near silently on her socked feet, and when she reached the door she tried to open it only to find out that she was locked in and that earned a yowl of displeasure from her. The long tail that she now sported was once again flicking back and forth in agitation and as she started to pace back and forth like a caged animal she actually took notice of it this time.

Reaching out she caught hold of the tail, eyes widening as she held it up, just staring at it for a moment before tugging on it and finding that it hurt to do that. Which meant that it was attached and that served to freak Angel out yet again, her grip on her tail tightening a bit as she whimpered, "I have a tail...and it's furry and...oh god..." Angel had no idea how this had even happened, it felt like she was trapped in a science fiction flick or something, a really bad science fiction flick, and that thought immediately caused her to once again think back to her own personal mad scientist. "I'm going to strangle him the second I see him again," she growled, ears still pinned against her head and as of yet unnoticed by angel since it just wasn't a natural thing to assume that you had ears.

[animefangirl]

Ian frowned when she told him that she hadn't signed anything, the irritated doctor looking at his research assistant at that point and giving her a bit of a death glare since he had specifically told her not to grab any of the test subjects until they had signed at lest one page of the paper so that the signature could be forged in the rest of the lines. He would deal with her slip up later, he didn't think it would be that hard to find Angel's signature on something so he didn't think it was that big of a deal. Or he could just make her sign the forms now, he didn't doubt that she would be compliant eventually even if it took a long time and they could add a different date so it looked like the signed them before the procedure. "That will be dealt with later, don't worry about that. It doesn't change that you need to stay here for now though" He said, not expecting that to go over very well but also no caring how well it went over with her since her feelings were insignificant to him. A few moments later he went on to make the comment about dealing with her aggression later and he smirked at her when she hissed her threat but decided not to say anything back to the girl since it really wasn't important there were many things he could give her to deal with the excess aggression and he could just put it in her food without her noticing.

After that he decided to get her into her room and he sedated her, ignoring her protests as well s the pitiful mewling noise she made when he did stick her with the needle. He watched as she drifted off, making sure she was out of it before he picked her up and carried her easily enough to her new room. After locking her in there he headed into his observation room where he anticipated spending a lot of time watching her. The only place she was going to get privacy was the bathroom and even then that was limited since there was no door to her attached bathroom, no mirror since he didn't want her getting glass to hurt herself with, and it had nothing but a toilet, sink and stand up shower without a curtain or door inside. So she had the basic necessities but nothing that could be considered comfortable but he didnt' care about her comfort and he wasn't a perv so he wasn't going to watch her shower or anything like that. He was curious if she even would shower with her new aversion to water but he would just have to wait and see on that one.

Soon enough she woke up and he watched as she got up from the bed and ran to the door to attempt to get out and arched an eyebrow at the angry yowling noise she made but he just noted that down like everything else he thought was important to take notes on. Of course all this was being recorded as well so he could view it later but he liked hand-writing notes to keep track of the important stuff. He continued to watch her dispassionately as she discovered her tail and freaked otu a bit before saying that she was going to strangle him the next time she saw him and that actually mildly amused him. He pressed a button and leaned forward to speak into a microphone on the desk. "That would not be a smart decision to make Angel. You are dependent on me for food and everything else you need, and as long as I think you might attack you wont get any of that" He said, basically telling her that he would starve her unless she agreed to not attack him. He took his finger off the button then and waited to see what she would have to say.

[CleverFox]

Hearing him tell her that the fact that she hadn't signed anything didn't matter and would be dealt with later only served to further irritate Angel and that was really saying something at this point in the game since she was already nearly as angry as she had ever been in her young life. "I don't need to stay and I don't want to," Angel told him in a petulant tone of voice, despite already knowing that it wasn't going to do the least bit of good, that much had already been established by the way that he spoke to her. As though he were speaking to an animal, some pet that he was trying to cajole. That bothered her and she couldn't figure out the reason for it though that would become painfully clear to her in a short time. When he went on to say that he was going to deal with her aggression she once again threatened him in a hissing tone, practically daring him to try it. Of course since he didn't comment that topic was dropped and soon enough she found herself drugged and carried to a room that might have been pleasant were it not serving as her prison cell.

After recovering from the drugs that she was given Angel got to her feet and immediately went to the door, finding that it was locked even though she'd been praying that this wasn't the case. Of course why she thought that wasn't something that she would have been able to answer, not that it mattered since it was soon forgotten and replaced with a more dire 'emergency'. The discovery that she had a tail. Grabbing the newly acquired, furry appendage she freaked out a bit as she tugged on it and realized that it was both attached and apparently very sensitive since it hurt when she pulled on it. Once she was recovered from her little freak out session she snarled the threat about strangling Ian as soon as she saw him again and when she heard his disembodied voice coming from somewhere else she gazed around and then huffed out, "Fine, let's see how you like it when your little lab rat or whatever the hell I am to you dies of starvation and dehydration." With that she walked over to the bed and sat down with a mewling noise that was somewhere between anger and despair. Reaching up she ran a hand through her hair and it was in this moment that she made the next unpleasant discovery of the day.

Not only did she have a tail but she had ears...and not normal, human ears but cat ears or at least that was what they felt like to her. Another hiss escaped her lips and it was at this point that she recalled the genetic testing portion of that so called consent form that they'd tried to trick her into signing and something clicked in her mind. "They tried to turn me into a cat," she hissed out, not aware that this whole program was designed to found a genetically superior race and that they hadn't actually been trying to turn her into a cat but rather just give her cat like abilities. Angel didn't get the point of this and she was once again starting to freak out, anger replaced by something else as she wrapped her arms around her chest. "Twisted freaks," she mewled, the noises that she was making still coming as a shock to her but that was starting to fade the more that she heard it. "Why? Why would they do this to me?" Her tone was despondent as she asked this question, more to herself than to Ian even if she did suspect that she was still being observed.

Ian ignored her petulant protests that she did not need to stay or want to, the man not lowering himself to getting into a 'yes you are' 'no I'm not' argument with her since it would be a pointless endeavor since he held all the cards here and she wasn't able to leave without him allowing it anyway. Instead he just placed her in 'her room' and then went to observe her, actually quite interested to see how she was reacting to her new changes and he smirked a bit at what she said in regards to her tail since that just amused him. Of course he lost the amusement pretty quickly when she threatened him and he decided to warn her not to do that and tell her that it was a very bad idea if she did. He listened as she huffed out that he would watch her die of starvation or dehydration if he refused her food and he made a note of that as well since it seemed that she had retained some of her previous intelligence after all if she were coming up with arguments like that. He once again pressed the button and leaned forward to speak to her, "I will just secure you to the bed and put an IV in your arm again if you force me to, so do not get any ideas about a hunger strike getting you out of this facility" He said then released the button and leaned back in his chair to continue to watch his new little project as she got used to her new surroundings.

He watched as she discovered her ears, the man leaning forward slightly as he paid close attention to her reaction and he was somewhat surprised that she was taking it so well. He'd expected another panic attack like she'd gotten when she discovered that she now sported a tail. He was even more surprised when she came to a conclusion that was actually fairly close to what he had been trying to do when he pumped her full of the genetic formula he'd created and watched her new appendages grow. He considered speaking to her again to tell her what the experiment was really meant to do but decided against that after a few moments thought. It was a conversation that they could have some other time, now was not the appropriate time to drop that particular 'bomb' on her. Especially since she seemed to just be getting used to the idea. Of sorts. He also chose to ignore the 'why' question and just observed her for several long hours. When a good five hours had passed he decided to try and get some food into her. "It is nearly dinner time Angel, are you going to cooperate with me or would you rather go hungry tonight?" He asked, thinking that if she refused to eat he would just get some big orderlies in here to secure her to her bed and stick an IV in her arm. He didnt' think it would take long before she realized that would happen every time and decided to stop fighting him.
