"Probably something to do with that metal thing on her arm," Katie said. "Or some other secret power she may have." She looked around as Jason walked, confused. "Okay... I'm lost. Are you sure you know where you're going?"
Leland peeked out of the exercise room, wanting to make sure Katie was indeed alright. He looked around for her and Jason, catching up to them after wandering the halls for a few minutes.
"There you guys are. Last I checked you guys were heading to the green house, which is in the opposite direction," Leland told them after catching his breath, surprised that just a little walking caused him to get so tired.

After many wrong turns, double-backs and pointers from Leland, Katie and Jason reached the door to the greenhouse once more. Katie had recovered from the last of her ailments on the journey, and indicated as much to her boyfriend when they reached the greenhouse door. "Could you let me down now, please?" she asked.
Jason obeyed and placed Katie on her feet before opening the door for her with a simple "ladies first" gesture. As he closed the door behind him, he looked on in shock at the grenhouse's current condition as it resembled a lush rain forest in the spring time.
"Well, looks like someone's been working hard." He said finally, looking over to Katie.

"Not in that sense," Camille said coldly in response, not looking away from the tulips she was working with, "I do know who you are, who all of you are. Even before we actually met...wasn't that hard to get the right data on the new Society members. I can assume why you're here, but I prefer if you just tell me so we can get this over with."
Gonna be on and off sporadically this whole day, letting everyone know.
"Also we wanna know how you use our powers and if you can use them." Jason continued, interrupting Dona.
"For instance, The Key is bound to my DNA and genes. The only way for a normal human being to get it would mean they would have to be born with it. How would this senario work on your terms? Would it permanently be apart of you DNA like it's supposed to, or does it just float around in your body in some way?" He asked, completely and utterly intrigued.

"You certainly won't be seeing any of that data anytime soon," Camille replied to Dona, slightly annoyed due to the interruption from them.
"And to answer your question Mr. Rojas, my body learns how your body has and uses your power. So then I take that information and recreate it in my own," she told them, sounding like she had done this talk before a number of times.
"Now I could use your 'Key' powers, but they don't seem all that special to me. I wouldn't have a use for them, but I could recreate it. Would take awhile though, might have to rewrite some of the junk DNA in me, but I could do it."

"Wait, hold on a second," Katie said. "You know how I got my powers... but I don't. I mean, I only learned I could levitate because I tried it, with no knowledge of whether it would work or not. So I just have one question for you, and I think we both know what it is." She hoped Camille would answer; this would be an interesting insight into the one thing about Katie that she thought she didn't know. With any luck, it was just something mundane like exposure to super-based influences as a child... something like a scientific experiment gone wrong would be horrifying.
"You don't know how you got your powers, eh?" Camille asked, turning to Katie and motioning for Katie to sit next to her.
"Give me a second to get all the data," Camille said, "Well, when you were younger you basically had a sort of subconscious mimicry power. Ever notice how you'd read or watch something then you'd be able to imitate as a child? That's how you got your levitation, watching some super fly.
You don't have that mimicry power anymore though. Your body didn't need it anymore so it got rid of it after you got your plant powers, which you got due to the mimicry and helping with your parent's gardening so much."

"Oh... that explains a lot," Katie answered. "Thanks for that. Amazing, really, how little things can become great in time." She knew it was a cliche, but it was true. To give herself something to do while she thought over the effects her mimicry had had on her childhood, she picked a small leaf from one of Camille's tulips, regrew it on the original plant and sprouted an exact copy from the leaf, even going so far as to replicate its location.
Jason looked on, slightly intrigued, yet definitely astonished.
"Woah...Katie, quick question: have you ever thought about using your powers...on yourself?" He asked, quickly continuing before he got crazy looks from everybody.
"Now, I know it sounds strange, but think about it. You're practically replicating and regenerating plant cells in order to grow the plants....what if those powers could work on animal cells as well? It'd be like you could heal yourself, and others!" He finished, slightly excited by his strange theory.

Katie looked up, eyebrows raised. "There's a lot of problems with your idea, hun," she answered, quickly recalling her basic biology class from before she joined the Society. "Most importantly, animal cells and plant cells have different structures to them. In addition, there's a lot of difference between, say, a human and a sheep. I wouldn't know where to start on either of them." She paused briefly, thinking over any further problems altering a human's genetic makeup could produce.
"I don't think I would want to experiment on people or animals, even if I could," she said. "What if I turned a test subject into a mutated monstrosity, and didn't know how to turn it back? Plants are easier to work with because their bodies are much easier to manipulate. If I was to alter myself, I'd have to keep track of all my internal organs, the way they're shaped, how they function... I don't think I could change anything without liquefying my own organs. I haven't seen the insides of a human to study and work with." She shuddered at the thought.

"Hm. I'd figured there would be some type of complications on a cellular level." He said with a sigh.
"Well, it would still be kinda awesome." He added before his eyes widened in revelation. With his idea in mind, he turned to Camille.
"Mrs. Claidt, you're a cold, ruthless dictator with time on your hands (not to mention a heart of stone and a remorselessness and ruthlessness personality that could kill us all in a second), why don't you try it?" He asked nonchalantly.
