![]() "I'm just really tired from work and all." "Could you make dinner?" Danny replied back. "Y-yes, I am!" Taylor responded with her own shout. The wooden stairs creaked as her father ascended the steps. had it been that long already?Īs fast as she could, Taylor began to pull her bone spear back into her body. 'Dad wasn't supposed to be home to soon, was he?' Taylor thought worriedly. Before Taylor got the chance to try out her new bone-spear, she heard the front door open. ![]() Flesh and skin retraced from its tip, revealing a wicked sharp bone spike. Slowly the arm began to change, becoming thinner and longer. This is beyond just cosmetic shapeshifting.This is a full-on, combat-ready superpower!' 'Still', Taylor thought giddily, 'I can't believe I can create an entirely new arm. Her power would not affect her fingernail (Which apparently included creating new ones) and she also could not cut her fingernails(A problem she would leave to Future-Taylor to figure out). Taylor paused, only now remembering the 'drawback' of her choice. However, strangely enough, it was missing its fingernails. Returning her hair to normal, Taylor began to try even crazier ideas.Ī third arm slowly pushed itself out of her stomach. A normal person would probably require a hair product for something like that, but her new ability made it literally just as easy as thinking. Her hair slowly returned to normal length, before curling up into an afro, and then a spiked mohawk. Taylor took note of two things: First that 'expanding' her body took significantly longer than changing what was already there and second, that if there was a limit to how much she could grow her hair, she definitely didn't have enough space to reach it here. Intent on experimenting even further, Taylor's hair began to lengthen, pouring out of her head like a waterfall and slowly piling up on the floor, after several, her bathroom literally filled to the brim with hair. Then, she created modified tattoo's all over her skin, watching blotches of black colour swirl and twist at her command. She first changed her hair colour, watching with quiet awe as it flipped through every colour of the rainbow. Quickly running into the bathroom and looking in the mirror, Taylor began to experiment. They became hairy, then buff and muscular, and then smooth and slim. With a thought, Taylor's arm turned crimson red, then a deep dark blue, before returning to normal. "So, if I really do have a superpower now, just what can it do?" The giddy cocktail of shock, excitement and bewilderment she felt refused to dissipate. Taylor took a very deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. All she could do for now was trust in her perception. Hell, she couldn't prove she wasn't just brain in a jar. However, Taylor knew just enough about philosophy to know that if she really wanted to, she could question every possible truth and decide they too were hallucinations. Perhaps this too was part of the hallucination? Insane people often saw their delusion come true, after all. Her rational mind quickly went into overdrive. ' What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?' "It.worked?" Tayor muttered aloud, in a state of dull shock. She blinked twice, just to make sure she was really seeing right. Taylor watched with awe as her arms began to turn a bright red. It said she could 'modify her body as she wished,' right? Taylor pictured the skin of her arms changing colour, becoming bright red. Taylor paused for a moment, then looked down at her hands. ![]() The screen disappeared, replaced by a clock counting down twelve hours. She reached out with her arm, her finger hovering over. As she lay there, her eyes were drawn back to the Button that still floated in the corner of her vision, glowing a light blue.Īfter a long minute or two of staring, Taylor took a deep breath. ![]() Dealing with batshit crazy bullies all day turned out to be really tiring. She tossed away her fruit juice-stained hoodie and plopped down on her bed, exhausted. ![]() Hours later, Taylor returned to her room, having just gotten off the school bus. It could be future Taylor's problem because right now she had a math class and if she didn't hurry Madison would probably put glue on her seat or some other dumb 'prank'. Or maybe she was just hallucinating because Emma Barnes had spiked her water pipes with meth or something.Įventually, she decided to just ignore the Button for now. If such a Cape existed, what the hell would they want with Taylor the boring loser? And what was with the random restriction? What kind of Parahuman would be able to just give someone what was essentially an entire superpower? She didn't know much about the limits of superpowers, but that seemed like the type of thing that shouldn't be possible. What would happen if she actually did press the button? Would the text actually come true? ![]()
