"So, you’re saying your totem necklace broke… And all the spirit animals it contained exploded out and entered your bodies… And turned you into THIS." Looking over the four women sitting together and fidgeting with their new limbs, the Atom stood with his arms crossed looking at them with a mix of surprise and confusion. There sitting on the chairs provided Vixen, Zatanna, Hawk Girl and Black Canary had all been transformed into what looked like a hybrid of mammal, reptile, insect and fish parts.

Covered in scales and a thin layer of fur matching their hair colour there was the cold comfort that they could still wear cloths… As it were. The sides of their shirts and tops had to be cut to make room for their extra arms which either matched what their original pair were doing or subconsciously doing something else. While Zatanna wriggled her thumbs together with her first pair, her second pair either scratched at her leg or an itch on her neck. Kendra rolled her shoulders, frowning somewhat when her four arms bumped into each other, still getting coordinated.

The back of their pants had to be cut open too to make room for their long tails, the things idly curled around the legs of their chairs. Their shoes still fit but were uncomfortable with black clawed toe nails making them tight. Although they didn’t cut room for them all four women now had wings that looked like a cross between a bat’s and a dragonfly, able to expand or contract out of their backs at will.

They sat uncomfortably, still unused to their changes and waited on the genius scientist for answers. "Well? Can you fix this?" Asked Vixen gesturing to her and the others. "Yeah, this is getting out of hand." Huffed Dinah. "I went to brush my teeth today and my tongue shot out like a damn frog!"

"You too?! I swallowed a waffle whole after I woke up, what the hell…"

"Hmm, well if you’re looking for help you’ve come to the wrong molecular physicist." Wincing at their outburst of anger and shock the Atom explained himself. "Hey do I look like I have a Ph.D. in mumbo jumbo? Magic is Zatanna’s department."

Standing up with a huff Zatanna stomped her foot in frustration. "I TRIED fixing this but it won’t work!" Waving her four arms with her incantation the mutated woman’s voice echoed. "Lamron ot kcab su nrut." Only for nothing to happen. "See?"

Shrugging his shoulders in defeat and rolling his eyes the scientist stepped back and went to a table with some files he had prepared. "Well from the blood work, skin samples and tests you’re all still human, you’re just… well, NOT human." Cringing at the angry glares he continued. "Hey look at the bright side you’ve got the powers of every animal on Earth right? Why not use’em? Sure your human identity is kaput but you can do the super heroics 24/7 now!"

Slowly calming down the four women turned to each other and formed a huddle with their chairs, their tails slowly swishing and wagging behind them, which amused the old scientist in the background. "Well my professing job is flushed, my old wings I could hide but this is a whole new level of FUBAR!" Blowing a strand of red hair out of her reptilian eyes Hawk Girl contemplated her options. "You think YOU have it bad? I had six shows scheduled across the country, that’s gone out the window." "I wonder how Olly will take this…"

"You know… He’s got a point." Opined Vixen, catching everyone else’s attention. "We can do some serious good with our new powers, and without the distraction of our other lives we can get a LOT done." Thinking it over the other three slowly nodded to the idea, unable to come up with a viable alternative. "What should we call ourselves?" "Why not the feral foursome?" "That… Sounds dirty." "The wild pack?" "I think that’s taken."

Listening in on the four ladies whispering in a circle the Atom coughed in his hand to get their attention. "Here’s a thought, why not call yourselves the Vixens? You’re already using her powers why not the name? Also… I have another appointment later today."

"Not helping!" Turning back to the others all four of them smiled at the idea, nodding in agreement the newly christened ‘Vixens’ stepped out and planned their future, and gave the Atom’s next appointment the shock of their lives when four chimera women strolled down the hallway to the exit.
