"What do you mean?" Frank asked in sudden concern. "Were you hit, son?"
"No, I wasn't," Davy insisted with a gulp, "but I-I think Dylan was! Look at him!"
All eyes immediately shifted to the blond fifteen year-old. At first no one else saw what Davy, who knew his twin best, had. Standing motionless in his sneakers, work-out shorts and black muscle shirt Dylan appeared completely unchanged; he was the same fit, athletic teeanger he'd been before. His blue eyes had closed and his fists were tightly clenched, making his well-developed biceps and triceps tense and bulge. Her "little" brother's arms looked pretty good, Amber had to admit. In fact . . . they looked even bigger and more defined than Jerome's arms!
"No way!" Justin whispered in awe, staring at the unbelievable sight before him. It was obvious to everyone now that Dylan was changing. His shirt was already skin-tight, outlining a pair of proud, cannonball-sized pecs, and it was beginning to rip across the boy's broadening shoulders. His legs were two tree-trunks of solid muscle and his awesome arms were almost as impressive. Second by second Dylan's burgeoning physique grew steadily more muscular and more powerful.
With the ripping sound of overstressed seams giving way the shirt split in half and fell away, the child's garment no longer appropriate for the He-Man Dylan had become. The entire family and Jerome gaped at the teen's fully revealed, incredible upper body. His tanned chest was very deep and perfectly sculpted, overlooking a carved set of armor-like, eight-pack abs.
Finally the transformation seemed to cease. Opening his eyes Dylan smiled and with a roar flexed his magnificent new biceps, causing everyone to instinctively fall back a step.
"Dylan? Are you all right?" Davy asked timidly. His mega-ripped, muscle-bound brother turned toward him with a fluid, flowing grace that even the lithe and agile adolescent had never displayed before.
"All right?" Dylan asked, his alto voice having deepened into a commanding adult baritone. "I'm better than all right! I've got the body of a GOD now!" he boasted.
None of those assembled could deny Dylan's arrogant claim. He had always been a jock, but now he was built like a gold medal-winning Olympic gymnast.
Frank was completely at a loss as to what say or do. His lover's invention had turned his boy into a true teenage Hercules! He felt utterly overwhelmed just by Dylan's sheer physical presence now. The parental authority he had asserted only a moment ago had withered away in the wake of his son's ascension. Dylan was unquestionably the new man of the house and Frank couldn't even imagine daring to try to tell this dominant alpha male what to do.
Debby, awash though she was in worry and confusion, couldn't help thinking briefly that Dylan was already more than twice the handsome hunk Joe was-and he was only fifteen!
Amber, too, had to fight her instinctive, primal attraction to her golden-haired Adonis of a kid brother. She quickly looked back over at Jerome, but her longtime crush seemed small and scrawny compared to the mass of pure bronzed muscle which was Dylan.
Jerome was making the same comparison. Dylan was the embodiment of all of his muscle dreams come true. He would kill to be half as built as the immensely muscular teen titan.
Justin was terrified! His athlete of a baby bro had been about to kick his butt before, but Dylan looked strong enough to crush him under one foot now!
Davy was trying desperately to process what had happened and get a handle on how he felt. On the one hand, none of the bullies weould ever mess with him again, not with mighty Dylan as his protector. On the other hand, the twins had always been equals in a stange way, Dylan's brawn balanced out by Davy's brains. With the new size and definition of his muscles, though, Davy estimated that Dylan had grown at least five times stronger than he'd been before! Now Davy's intelligence could no longer hope to compare to his twin's near-superhuman physical power. The realization made Davy feel lost and inferior in a way he never had before.
