The lights flickered on. "...A blond in a lab coat."
A voluptuous looking blonde at that. Aside from the coat and her hair being tied into a bun, she didn't really look all that professional. The woman in question was wearing a pink dress that stopped somewhere around her thighs and opened-toed high heels. She also had a pair of glasses, but Angela got the impression that they were just for show.
"A blonde in a lab coat? That sounds like my assistant, Beth." Steve explained. Her father was the one in charge of the college where he worked and was also the one footing the bill for his experiments. The only real caveat was that he had to take Beth as an assistant and couldn't exclude her under any circumstances.
From what he was told, the blonde loved science... but she was also as dumb as a bag of hammers. Well, that wasn't entirely true. She was more or less a stereotypical blonde who was a complete ditz and could be a bit of a klutz at times. She meant well but didn't always end up doing well.
"Oh... okay. But what is she doing back here?" Angela asked.
"I'm not sure. She probably just forgot something and came back to get whatever it is." Steve suggested. It wouldn't be the first time.
Angela could see this being the case. "Should I still stay hidden or...?"
The tiny scientist shrugged. "With Beth? Probably not."
While the pair continued to discuss how to proceed from the safety of the drawer, Beth finally spied what she was looking for on a counter in the back. "There you are."
She'd left her smartwatch behind and while she could just make do with her cellphone, she liked having all her stuff on hand. Once she secured the ruby red device around her wrist, she smiled a content smile and turned her attention towards the chamber of shrinkage.
"This is so cool." She whispered. She loved science ever since she was a little girl and her first experiment blew up in her face. She could remember being covered from head-to-toe in chocolate sauce from her paper mâché volcano and getting third place from her teacher.
From that day forward she was determined to become a scientist.
