Amidst the constant drone of two Rolls Royce jet engines, Alicia was returning home after visiting one of her friends in another state. She was onboard a United Airlines 737 domestic flight which was nearing the airport. Alicia was only half listening to the captain's routine announcements as she read a magazine, and she took a quick, lazy look around as the flight attendants started telling people to secure their seatbelts. One flight attendant in particular tapped Alicia on the shoulder to get her attention. The attendant's name badge read Monica, she was a blonde in her late 30's, fairly pretty and standing 5'7" tall in her 2-inch heeled pumps. She also had on the standard United Airlines uniform, a dark navy skirt suit, a pale blue blouse and striped red and black scarf. "Excuse me Miss, can you put the magazine away now please, we're about to descend." The woman smiled to Alicia.
"Oh, course." Alicia responded meekly, nodding at the attendant, who then wandered off down the aisle to talk to other passengers, before sitting down in her own seat and securing her belt. Alicia was a tad nervous, she wasn't a big fan of flying. And she always hated the landings more than anything. She sat there taking deep breaths and pressing her head into the seat's head rest as she awaited the captain's announcement that they were starting their approach to the runway.
When the announcement finally came a few minutes later, the plane started to descend slowly. But a couple of minutes into the descent, a sudden shuddering seemed to affect the aircraft. It wasn't major at first, and hardly anyone reacted. But when it started again, things really started shaking and panic set in. Just as Alicia's heart was starting to beat fast, she saw a sudden burst of white energy that traveled up the length of the fuselage. She put her hands up as if to try and stop the enrgy wave, but instead of it passing her by as it was everyone else, it seemed to stick to her hands. And Alicia's eyes shot up into her head as the energy pulse seemed to collapse back on itself as it was absorbed into Alicia's body. It seemed like several minutes to Alicia, but it was only a few seconds. And as the lights in the plane finished flickering off and on, the plane shuddering stopped.
A reassuring announcement from the first officer quickly followed, telling everyone that the situation was under control. They gave the reason as turbulence, but as Alicia got her breath back, she looked down at her hands, turned them over and saw faint smoke coming from them for a few seconds longer. As the smoke dissipated, Alicia closed her eyes and her mind was filled with knowledge. It was all so overwhelming as Alicia learned (somehow) that she now had in effect... a super power. But this was nothing out of a Marvel or DC comic or movie. It made absolutely no sense to Alicia, that she apparently now had the ability to exchange people's body parts, other traits and even their clothing.
"What the hell was that?" Alicia mumbled to herself, as the middle-aged man in the window seat next to her tried to calm down from having a panic attack.
"Please breathe sir, everything is fine." A brown-haired flight attendant called Rosemary, 43, tried to reassure the gentleman in question.
Alicia just stared at the chest of the attendant partly bending over her, and what happened next was completely accidental. Alicia felt a mini power surge inside her head and moments later she was watching the flight attendant's bust shrinking under her company tunic and blouse. Holy shit... A shocked Alicia thought as Rosemary became entirely flat-chested, apparently without noticing her drastic change. Thinking the attendant's bust had simply vanished, Alicia glanced to her left to the panicking man, only to see his collared shirt distended in front with an obvious pair of breasts. His heavy breathing only emphasized his new 'weights' more. Alicia estimated the man was now at least a large C-cup. And it was obvious to Alicia after a moment's thought, that the man now had the flight attendant's boobs.
Did I do that? Alicia thought as she watched the oblivious attendant carry on with her duties of taking care of the passengers. The more she thought, the more shock was replaced by avid curiosity. If she had just swapped that airline employee's sizeable breasts onto the man next to her. Could she do it again?
She had to know.
