Caty and Liz moved forward with the others although the latter wasn't hesitant. She was of the same opinion of Danny and how they were creepy and gross, but this was what Caty was looking for so she'd brave getting close to some genetically modified super-spiders for her.

Caty stifled a laugh when Norman heard Danny's whispered question and called him out by name, but she had some questions of her own that she'd wait to ask after their conversation or lesson. She was interested in what he had to say and she had honestly found silk rather fascinating after she learned more about the capabilities from an episode of the Sherlock Holmes series, Elementary.

[color=E137E3]"And it has military applications as well, correct?"[/color] Caty said abruptly as Norman finished causing the class to turn to her. Most weren't used to her showing much of an interest in anything other than her friends and brother. It wasn't their fault. She spent her high school career trying to hide just how smart and inquisitive she was. She aced all of her classes, but didn't raise her hand in class or join any of the science clubs. Part of her just wanted to feel like a kid and not stress about anything or appear as if she was trying too hard. The other part wanted her brother to be known for more than just being her brother and getting bullied. So she decided to step back and let him excel Academically. She didn't let this take away from who she was or her ambitions. All of this only mattered in High School. University was going to be a lot different. She continued [color=E137E3]"I mean, silk's strong and there have been attempts to use it in the development of bulletproof vests. The main issue with that has been the amount in which the spiders or even silkworms produce. But I'm guessing that won't be a problem with your genetically-modified spiders. A hefty military contract and you could mass produce vests and even begin selling silk-fashion giving civilians access to that kind of protection in a country where there's always some kind of gun violence."[/color]

Norman laughed, but not at her. Laughed at the fact that someone in this group was thinking as he was. Her response felt a bit more accusatory at first, but she made him sound like a humanitarian at the end caring about people more than profit. He appreciated that. [color=green]"You are quite correct, Miss Davis. I see you and your brother share more than just your looks."[/color]

Caty blushed not sure what to say in response. Fortunately she didn't have to, because Liz did instead.

Liz had been focused entirely on the display of spiders making sure she didn't lose sight of any of them. Except she had a hard time finding one in particular and at this point she was certain it wasn't in its terrarium. [color=99d6ff]"Ummm. Unless one of your modifications were super camouflage I think one of your spiders is missing."[/color]

Norman turned his attention to the array of terrariums and immediately recognized that one was missing. [color=green]"You're right. I'm sorry, class. We're going to have to cut this part of the tour short for your safety. Please follow me."[/color]

The class started running after Norman, Danny discovering he had more angi-spider allies than he thought. Liz was forced in the middle of the group, but couldn't find Caty anywhere. [color=99d6ff]"Caty! Caty!?"[/color] They filed out of the room leaving it closed behind them.

Caty exited her hiding place once she heard the door close and gleamed with excitement. That was until she saw her brother, Gwen, and Harry still in the room with her. Her expression sunk before she asked, [color=E137E3]"What are you three still doing here? I stayed behind to find the spider."[/color]
