Soon though, Juniper walked out of the doors of the cab with a wave and a small payment fee. With a huff, she moved back up the stairs of her apartment. Now, usually she didn't do things like this. Such as, leaving her job unannounced, but something about today's general 'attitude' didn't dwell with her.
Quickly opening her door, Juniper rushed in and locked in behind her. Inside, one could see how she decorated. Around her home were various knick-knacks, geegaws, and other gizmos. All from across the states, things like Dreamcatchers, colored hourglasses, and beads with amber encased ants. Weird stuff, but Juniper felt a 'connection' towards each of these things. They 'spoke' to her; now being a woman of science and her own collection raised many eyebrows, but Juniper always made sure to tell people:
"Sometimes, there are things science hasn't explained yet." with a smile. Which, of course, made people want to ask the woman even more question, but that wasn't needed. Instead, Juniper walked towards her bathroom, took a towel out from it, and began to hastily strip herself down and jumped into the shower. She basked in the warm water and felt much better from all that formula racing down her body. Finished in over twenty-five minutes, Juniper dried herself off and went towards her small coffee table. Unaware that she had grown a few centimeters.
She plopped herself down on a seat and scrolled through her phone. Looking into it, she could see a new message pop up. The lady read the words aloud to herself.
"Hey, Juni, where are you?" It was from Saul, her cousin. Heck, she helped introduced him to her bosses, who in-turn became enamored with the boy.
"Home. A...event came up and it took me off of work."
"I gotcha you covered, though be warned, there's been an accident. A Lab 4; a formula rained down the side of the building. We got our janitors here cleaning it up."
"Is that stuff dangerous? Poisonous?" Juniper hastily typed out, a little fear of her own soakage breaking through.
"No; not that I heard of. Experimental, apparently, but nothing too bad or we'd have everyone from the EPA on our ass. Welp, see you soon, Juniper. Be safe, and again, I got you covered. I'll put in a word or three to management." And with that, Saul disappeared, leaving Juniper alone in her apartment once more.
She looked down at herself, noting a weirdness to her. She swore she was taller, but she didn't know by how much. With a shrug, she went to her kitchen to prepare a meal.
