Doing it Bare

"What is this place?" Ava looked around the pristine white lobby in front of her. She had just walked out of the elevator that took them twenty floors under the mansion.

Slowly, her eyes widened at the experimental large glass tubes. In one of the tubes was a small werewolf in its werewolf form. It was standing inside the tube full of bluish liquid. 

"This…"

"This is where we do most of our experiments in the US. We have branches in Europe and Asia." Matthew said.

"Is this… legal?"

"To the human world? No. But Lycans and werewolves…" he paused and looked at one of the tubes that had a bear or at least something that looked like a bear in it. "Shifters in general would have long vanished if we didn't know how to adjust to the evolving technology."

"You mean…"

"We have been studying our own evolution. Thanks to that, we were able to develop medicines that helped shifters… give birth and cure for more specific diseases."
