Chapter #6A pill for every kink! by: somedude   "Quentin Beck?"
The courtroom was hushed as all eyes fixated towards the man in the chair next to the wooden table. Dabbling with what appeared to be two small marbles in his hand, he stood up from his chair.
"Yes?"
"This court charges you with possession and distribution of class 1 metahuman altering substances, commonly known as the "F" pills, with an estimated value of $150 million dollars. How do you plead?"
"Not guilty."
Rumbles in the courtroom followed as the man better known as Mysterio took his seat, staring at the judge with a toothy grin, the same look as an alligator and about half as inviting. The only person who wasn't gasping was his lawyer, Jennifer Walters. Like Beck, she too had a dual identity, but her alter-ego, the Sensational She-Hulk, was considered far more noble than the criminal Mysterio.
"Are you really sure you want to go through with this?" Walters asked her client.
"I hired you as my attorney because you were the best in New York. Your job is to prove my innocence, correct?"
"No, my job is to minimize the legal repercussions you face. I don't know if we can do that considering the evidence. And are you sure I'm the first lawyer you went to?"
*********************************************************
You're lying to my face! And the charges are obscene! I'll have no part of this spectacle!
Mr. Murdock, if you won't represent me, will you at least recommend me someone who will?
*Sigh* That I can do.
*********************************************************
"Of course Ms. Walters."
"Ladies and gentlemen," the prosecutor began as he stared at both Beck and Walters, "the man before you, the costumed criminal known as Mysterio, was not only storing vast amounts of a dangerous, life threatening drug that gives humans metahuman powers, but also selling it at tremendous profit to himself."
Beck once again said nothing, watching merely as his attorney stood up. As she did so, the two small marbles in his hand fell into the water pitcher on the table, dissolving instantly.
"Your honor, my client has renounced his life of crime, but yet continues to be harassed, both by the police and the costumed vigilante known as Spider-Man. The police in fact, found the substances in question in a building Mr. Beck was sharing, and one he was defending from Spider-Man when he invaded. My client has nothing to do with the drugs found."
Sitting down, Jennifer just looked at Quentin, still wearing the same toothy grin. Immediately, she poured herself a full glass of water and chugged it down.
"You seem worried."
"Only because everyone thinks you're a liar."
"The prosecution calls Quentin Beck to the stand," the prosecutor interrupted. Without so much as a word, Beck stood up and took his seat at the witness stand.
"Mr. Beck, are you aware of what these are?" the prosecutor began, holding a bag full of white pills, each one perfectly round.
"Your morning vitamins?" Beck answered, elicting a laugh.
"No, these are the four types of "F", or fetish pills, found in the studio you were renting when the police came in.
"Without a warrant..."
"Because of reports of violence!"
"I was defending my area of work from that insufferable arachnid prowler! If some animal-themed invader went into your workspace, you'd fight back too!"
"OBJECTION!" Jennifer shouted. "This is irrelevant to the drugs in question."
"Very well," the prosecutor answered, pausing for a moment before continuing. "The four types of pills we have here are "CV", which causes the human body to...well, erm..."
"What's the matter? Embarassed?" Beck taunted.
"NO! CV causes the human body to become voracious, able to expand its mouth to eat an entire human! GT causes the body to expand to various degrees depending on the dosage, while SP causes it to reduce in size! And then finally we have U...which apparently only works on females..."
"You sound turned on," Beck continued. "Does someone need a girlfriend?"
"Mr. Beck, you're out of order!" the judge roared, his bald head shining in the room. "One more outburst like that and you will be escorted from the courtroom!"
"Fine, Your Honor."
"My point being," the prosecutor concluded, is that...
Everyone in the courtroom suddenly stopped in their tracks as they looked towards the defense's table. Jennifer Walters was hunched over, as if in extreme pain.
"Ms. Walters!"
"You see! I'm innocent! Someone's poisoned my attorney!"
The crowd in the courtroom could only watch as Jennifer Walters looked towards the roof, beginning her change, her skin turning green and her clothes ripping, revealing a one-piece spandex suit underneath.
"My God!" Beck shouted. "What was in that water?"   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
