More Meteor Showers Bring Even Stranger Powers. (O/A)

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Heather blushed and smiled, "I do, don't I? Oop, almost forgot. Can't be the queen of the Koopas without some teeth."

Heather willed her teeth to become a bit more pointy. Not so much that her mouth would be horrifying, but just enough to be sort of cute.

"There, I think I'm good now." she said as she secured the mask on her face.

Although she a little awkward at first Heather settled into the groove of the photoshoot. She had never done any sort of acting, but when she had to play domineering she would just allow her more greedy side to think of Liv as thing to be owned. She kept those feelings tempered because she did not want to get used to the idea of thinking like her father. The idea people were meant to be used and tossed aside when they no longer served a purpose made her ill.

After she was used to it she started to have fun with the concept. Of course there were many shots of the sub/dom dynamic, but there were quite a few that played with the idea of them being a couple, a few where Peach was trying to teach a reluctant Bowsette how to be a proper lady, and even a few where Peach was being a bit risque toward a terribly flustered Bowsette. Overall, she had a blast.

"Oh my god, that was so much fun!" she exclaimed with glee. "I'm glad you talked me into it. I hope your subscribers like it."

When Clara and Theonis returned to the restaurant Leonard was alone at the booth.

"Leonard, where's Theresa." Clara asked.

Leonard sighed and pointed down. "Your outburst upset her so much that she's hiding underneath the table and crying while she slowly eats her waffles."

Clara clicked her tongue against her teeth. She was about to apologize when something occurred to her. "How did she manage to get down there? She's just a little bit taller than that pale boy I see hanging around with the white fox girl."

Leonard had that look in his eyes where he was about to reveal something interesting. "See for yourself. It's quite astonishing really. I'm not sure how she did it."

Clara grunted as she knelt down and looked under the table. She gasped and tugged at Theonis' pant leg. "You need to see this."  

[BeaMichelle]

Theresa was sat cross legged under the table, hunched over her plate, and had a waffle gripped in her small hands as she quietly sobbed. Her hands were small because she was small. While Clara and Theonis were away, Theresa had physically regressed into her actual age. What sat before them was a toddler with clothes too large for her, and a head full of impossibly long multi-colored hair.

She shuffled back as far as she could and made a little groaning sound, signaling that she wanted to be left alone.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Well yeah, that does fit more now that I think about it!" Liv responded to her girl growing sharp teeth.

The first minutes she really had to guide Heather, make her feel at ease a bit. Then Liv began to provoke some more and her girlfriend responded just as well as she had hoped. It was obvious that she was having fun when they were nearing the end of it.

"Right? Normally it's just me and the cameraman but I can get used to this. I can tell that my subscribers will love it. Now I just gotta pick out the right ones, make a proper set, decide which goes to which tier, etc."

Liv gave her girl a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks babe."

Underneath the table? Theo knew she was childish but not THAT bad. Then he noticed his dad's gleam in his eyes. He knew that look. Something happened.It was his mother that really got him to pay attention to who or what was under the table.

"What the....." he muttered. A small Theresa, one that seemed to be the age that matched her mental state.

"You eh...doing alright there Tess?"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec shook his head, "I don't think so. Heather said these tickets pay for everything, including food and drink. The only thing that comes to mind would be if we wanted to change clothes "

Alec considered what Kerana had said about her family. He had wanted to go with just her, but part of him did not want to encroach on her traditions.

"Y'know, we could invite your Mom to go with us, if you wanted to. I mean, I was kinda planning on this being a date, but if this is something you'd like to do with her too I understand."

Deora, feeling like a bit of a third wheel, cleared her throat to grab their attention. "Well, I don't know about all that, but I think a day out sounds fun. Maybe we can share a shuttle and then split up when we get there? Ravan and Rydia have both been bugging me to show them what life on the surface is like."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heather grinned and hunched her shoulders at the kiss. "Anytime. Seriously, I think I could also get used to this. There's no limit to the cosplay we could do, but I guess that depends on how much of your subscriber base is comprised of geeks."

She took off the mask, removed the wig, and then slipped off the cap. She ruffled her hair to loosen it, and began to remove the bracers and other jewelry. She looked to Liv and asked, "So how does this whole thing work? You said something about sets and tiers?"  

[BeaMichelle]

Theresa made the little groaning sound again and swallowed what was in her mouth. "No, I'm not." she whined. "Mommy Clara hates me, my tummy hurts, and I'm little again. Everything sucks."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Clara took a soft tone and said, "Oh honey, I don't hate you. I hate the situation you're being put in. I'm sorry I yelled and said all those terrible things. You didn't deserve any of that."

She offered a hand but Theresa did not move. She then looked to her son and whispered, "A little help?"  

[Nova Blancke]

"Oh, a lot are but also a lot don't care about the characters. They just like sexy women and who can blame them?"

Liv walked over to the camera and took out the USB. Going over to her laptop, she inserted it and went over the images.

"Yeah, each tier has their own price. The higher the tier, the better benefits you get from them. Like getting content sooner or spicier stuff and things only for them. Things like that Some image sets are exclusive for OF. I might release one or two images from it to draw in some more people. " She said as she was selecting the ones she likes most.

Theo sighed a bit.Though he only knew her for a little while now. She had certainly grown on him as his sister. He didn't like seeing her like this.

Theo sat down cross legged.

"She doesn't hate you. It's just been a lot for her." Theo this time opened his arms, beckoning her to come close for a hug instead.

"Let's get you out from underneath there alright?"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Heather watched with great interest as Liv uploaded the best photos. That was her first time seeing them since that shoot. She was shocked at how good she looked from an outside perspective. She'd heard the camera adds ten pounds, but what she saw added to her confidence.

After Liv was done, it did not take long for message notifications to pop up. "Wow, that was fast!" she commented. "Let's see what they have to say."

Heather felt a mix of pride, embarrassment, flattery, and disgust. "Oh my God! What's wrong with these people?! It's like a tennis match between sweet and sleaze, and why do so many of them want to see our feet?!"  

[BeaMichelle]

Theresa groaned again as she looked from her waffles to Theonis and thought about what she wanted. A hug did sound good, and she liked his hugs. She put her waffle down, crawled to him, and settled in on his lap. In spite of her small appearance, she was still as heavy as ever.

She sighed and rest her head against him. She realized she liked being held more when she was small. Maybe being tiny wasn't so bad. There were things she missed out on in the last three years of her life.

"Theonis, do you think Fenris would be mad if I said I wanted to go to school?"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Clara and Richard glanced at each other. It had never actually occurred to Richard that Theresa would need schooling since she seemed so at ease with learning things as they came.

Clara felt an awful pit at the bottom of her stomach. Of course the she would want to go to school. It did not take long for her to realized that Theresa did not know how to read, but the girl did like watching educational children's television and nature documentaries.

Richard spoke first. "That...might actually be good for her. All she's known in her life is fighting. She needs time to be a child."

"And who's fault is that?" thought Clara. "There's no might about it! This place has a school, right? Surely there is a preschool as well? I don't care what that wolf woman says, Theresa is starting school first thing Monday."

"That is, of course, if it's alright with you, Theonis. I don't want to undermine your authority, and I know she's important, but if Kerana and her boyfriend are allowed to go to school then surely she can too."  

[Nova Blancke]

Theo did NOT expect her weight to be the same. It did hurt but he quickly countered it with his powers. Theo did follow up with his hug. Wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Patting her head a bit he realized he felt more of a dad now than a brother. He listened to his parents talk. Or rather, his mom.But surprisingly his previous display of....authority if you could call it that, stuck with her.

He nodded.

"Yeah, if that is what she wants. She can go to school."

"I think Fenris wouldn't mind."


Liv couldn't help but laugh at Heather's response.

"That's the internet for you. The most wholesome degenerate and blursed place there is. Sometimes I wonder how much of the feet comments are actual feet fetishist and which are just doing it for the meme."

"This fella right here is just happy to see me return. This one is just amazed at how much better I look compared to before. This one says it HAS to be 'shopped'."

"So yeah..mixed bag of fun comments.But they all support me so it's mostly if not all positive""

One shadow hop later and they were at the outer portion of the crowd that had gathered around the flagpole. Freya immediately began to laugh hysterically at the sight. That is, until she and Okami saw Trinity looked annoyed at the situation. Freya knew it would not take her first student long to connect the dots on who the culprit of that display. She turned to Okami to request a quick exit, but the wolf needed no prompting to ditch her human twin.

"Oh, you back stabbing c**k-bite." Freya muttered under her breath. She turned on her toes and attempted to sneak away before Trinity saw her

Freya could feel her glare through the crowd. She knew this was somehow her doing. With her glowing eyes, she pointed to them then pointed to her. Other cops near the crowd followed her lead in dispersing and creating a perimeter.

She reached the officer that sent the email, Xavier. They greeted each other, “Let’s get them down, you get a statement and question them. I do have eyes on a likely suspect behind this. Her handy work is all over this.” Xavier was holding them with his telekinesis while his boss climbed up swiftly with ease and cut the rope with a shadow knife, releasing them and leaving them in his telekinetic grasp.

Knowing Xavier has his orders she arched her back and dived into her shadow with a twist.

From the shadow, she noticed Freya’s body language. It practically screamed ‘I’m guilty’ she could practically imagine her tail between her legs. Freya found her feet stuck in her shadow in a tar-like substance. “Leaving so soon?” she cuffed her wrists with handcuffs that inhibited powers based on past shenanigans. “You only just got back to the scene of the crime. You know the drill let’s get some questions answered. Then we’ll talk about how much time you’re doing.” Without skipping a beat she took her to the interrogation room.

Normally there would be a little more of a chase but not this time. I guess her being separated from Okami makes her less slippery. “Who placed those two up there? I recognize the knot work so I know you at least have something to do with it. Yet the social media bate does not seem like your usual MO.”  

[BeaMichelle]

Theresa sniffed and rubbed her eyes. Her nose felt stuffy, but she did not have anything to blow into. She wiggled out of Theonis' lap, turned toward the table and tried to reach over to her napkin. Her small arms did not quite reach, which caused her to grunt in frustration. Almost as if in response to the groan, her body shot back up to her adult height and age. She grabbed the napkin and blew her nose.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Clara almost tripped on herself as she stepped back from Theresa, and Leonard gasped with the accomplished joy that comes from a eureka moment.

"Of course! If she can reconfigure her body into weapons made from the medals in her body, then it stands to reason that she can reconfigure her age. Jesus, the potential uses of such a power would be near limitless with her ability to decipher and apply mechanical schematics. She's essentially a human-"

"I swear to God, Leonard, if you call her a human Transformer I will actually punch you in the mouth." Clara interjected.

Leonard immediately clammed up, put his hand to his mouth, and cleared his throat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heather scrunched her face and sighed, "If you're okay with it then I am too."

Heather's business phone rang. She huffed and picked it up off of her nightstand. "Yes? I know, I saw your name on the screen. Not that it's any of your business, but yes. Yyyyes? How do you know that name? You wh- just a second."

Heather muted the phone, blushed, and looked to Liv. "Um, a guy from work's on the phone. He's on the board of directors, aaaand he's also one of your top tier subscribers."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Freya felt the hair on the back of her neck tense up. Then her legs did not work. Then she had cuffs on.

"Aw c'm-"

"-on!" She looked around at the all too familiar surroundings and huffed. "What the Hell, Trinity? Is this anyway to- y'know what, I knew what I said was stupid as it came out of my mouth. I know it's your job, but that doesn't mean I can't still ********! Gidget upgraded these, didn't she? Ugh, fine."

As a kunoichi, Freya had been well trained in the art of deception. She was more than capable of telling a convincing lie without any tells. As much as she adored her student, she was not about to snitch on her niece.

"I dunno. You can get all sorts of tutorials on the internet nowadays. I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to find a bunch of videos on how to tie knots."

"I mean, I don't even know why I'm here. Since Okami is her own wolf now I can't shadow travel. So I asked her to bring me to you so we could catch up. It just so happened that you were at the scene of something that I found really really funny. My being there at that time was just a coincidence. Honest."

The best lies have truths in them.  

[Nova Blancke]

Her suddenly turned into a full grown adult caught him by surprise. The sudden burst of side knocked him over causing him to bump his head on the floor.
Inhaling sharply he rubbed the back of his head.

"I know they removed some brain matter but it's metals...not medals." Theo said getting up a bit.

Dad wasn't wrong though. Turned out she was a bit of a transformer.

"You eh...okay Tess?"

Liv's jaw dropped.

"No ******** way. Really?Holy s**t!"
