“Hey! You there!” The three of you suddenly hear.
You, still in your buffed form, turn around to find your father standing between the bushes in his military uniform, with another soldier behind him named Jack who sometimes visits your house and got to know each other, in addition to who seems to be a scientist. He stands there, analyzing you.
“Sir, what are you doing out here with a bunch of kids?” he says.
You don’t have any idea what to do, and you can’t shape shift into anything because he can clearly see you.
Your dad starts analyzing Jeremy and Quincy, and then comes to the realization and says astonished: “this can’t be...! Max? Is that you?”.
“Yes dad” you said.
Your dad starts panicking, he knows the implications of sending you to the military base in order to analyze you and study you. Even though he might seem tough, he loves you and doesn’t want the government to know about you.
“Did you come into contact with some black substance around here? And it wouldn’t come off?” He asked.
You admit and tell him what happened, and how it was by mistake and it didn’t come off. You also told him that the only people to know about this are your friends and nobody else.
Your dad sits there thinking deeply about what to do. He tells you to return to normal and that everyone here will to the scientist’s house. You return to normal, knowing that your dad has it under control, and go to the boundary of the woods to a military Jeep, where you all climb in to go to the house.
“Listen son, the substance you fell into was caused by a leak in a vehicle that was transporting a substance that causes your condition to our base for testing. The puddle was cleaned up, but we were enclosing the parameter to find anyone who came near it. I was surprised that it is you who ended up getting the power”. Your father said after sitting down in the house, which apparently only the scientist lived in alone. “Will I have experiments done in me dad?” You said in a sheepish voice. “We decided to keep your condition a secret, although Mr. Joubran here wants to do some tests and examine how it works”.
Your friends fell silent listening to what was happening. Jack was standing next to your dad, and the scientist was drinking coffee on the couch next to your father.
“Your powers are a blessing, or a curse. Depending on how you look at it, because you will have to keep it a secret from everyone else, even your mother” your father continues “do you understand son?”. You reply with a yes. “I know that I can’t stop you from using your ability, but try to keep it within the confines of your friends and us. As for you two, you boys shut your mouth or I will cut your throats open personally” he threatens your friends.
“But how do his abilities work?” Quincy asks “is it a stable condition?”.
“This condition is supposed to be stable, since your friend changes the whole structure of his body, at a molecular level, enabling him to change material and change his body entirely from his imagination and to change to the people he sees in front of him” the doctor replies. “Max, would you mind change into Quincy to show him?” He asks you “just concentrate on him and you will turn automatically”. You hesitate at first, not wanting to show him that you have already changed yourself before. “If you concentrate well you can even change your clothes to match his, because they have a bit of the material on them by touching your body”.
You stand up, and concentrate well on turning into Quincy. He has thick black hair, a slightly more tanned body, he is a bit shorter but a tad bit more muscular than you and is wearing a t-shirt and some short jeans. Suddenly, you regain your senses and realize that you have turned into Quincy in 5 seconds. Even the parts of the body that are not visible turn into, what you guess, the same as his. “You feel great” you tell Quincy, giving him a fist bump. The gang then starts analyzing and contrasting the both of you, trying to spot any difference, with the doctor proving them how precise it is by not being able to find a difference. “Do you feel weird or anything?” The doctor asks you “are you accustomed to the new form yet?”.
“My new form is comfortable, but I still need to get accustomed more to it, especially in terms of height and weight (Quincy is lighter than you, which gives him an advantage in Kung Fu)” you respond. “The more forms you try, the faster you become accustomed to every new body” the doctor tells you.
Your father then says that it has become late, and that you should probably come back tomorrow or the day after to the doctor, and that if you need any help he can always help you...
You realize that it has become around 3am and you are tired from all the shapeshifting and Kung Fu (the doctor said something about becoming tired from using the powers too much). You didn’t feel like, nor had the energy to turn back into your normal form. Your father finds you asleep when you arrive home, luckily your mother is asleep and will leave early tomorrow.
Your father, not wanting to wake you up, carries you to bed and tucks you in. He cries, because this reminds him of when you were still a young child who he used to tuck you in.
*******
The next morning, you wake up to the sound of the alarm feeling weird, and not realizing that you were still in Quincy’s form until you got startled by your reflection in the mirror. You turn back into your original body and head down to get breakfast.
Your mom has already left, and you find your dad sitting on the table eating cereal.
“Hey dad”.
“Hey son, found you asleep yesterday as your friend” he replied.
You laugh “yeah, startled myself in the mirror in the bathroom this morning” you tell him.
“Big day today” says your dad “today you have: “
