I don't own DC only the plot and OCs. Also the OCs are actually based off my family so Jessica and Joshua are siblings and John and Jeffery are siblings. As an only child I consider them to be my own brothers and sister so I am very protective of them.

As a 13 year old, Samantha is very advanced in science. She was in a summer camp for science and her family was visiting. Later on in the day there was supposed to be a science show put on by the campers for their families so the adults were helping to set up while the kids went off to play. But not Samantha and her cousins. As the oldest, her cousins adored her and wanted to know what she was working on so she took them to the science building. She had recently started working on different dog species so she let them pick out their own favorite type of dog DNA.

Samantha had them pick in order of age. She chose the German Shepherd, Jessica (12) chose the Golden Retriever, John (11) chose the Husky, Joshua (10) chose the Labrador, and Jeffery (9) chose the Doberman. Samantha began showing them the differences through a microscope and didn't notice when Jeffery wandered off. He had caught sight of a shelf not far away filled with glass beakers that had all sorts of different colored liquids inside. He wanted to know what they were but they had been placed on higher shelves than he could reach so in order to read the labels he started to climb the shelf. Hearing a noise the others look up to see that Jeffery's weight had caused the shelf to tip towards them.

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion after that.

In her rush to catch Jeffery as he fell Samantha spilled the viles containing the DNA everywhere. Catching him she looks up and sees the shelf coming down on them. It is the height of the ceiling and is made of thick metal so there would be no stopping it from coming down. The best she could do is shield Jeffery from getting hurt. She rolled on top of him just in time when the beakers started to fall off and shatter on the floor and her back; slicing it up. Some land on the table, and as the liquids react to each other, they start smoking.

The others rush in to help keep the shelf from falling but slip on the spilled DNA and other liquids. They all heard the thud then scream and looked to see Samantha on her hands and knees above Jeffery using her sliced up back to support the shelf; making sure it didn't crush them.

Everything should have been fine after that; they would crawl out, lift the shelf off Samantha and then get help. But it didn't happen like that.

Instead the smoking liquids set off the sprinklers and came into contact with a highly flammable powder when in contact with water. It started a chemical fire. To make matters worse the fire came into contact with the other liquids.

That's how the explosion that changed everything happened.
