Shade 2, Rebirth - Chapter 3
Chapter 3 I'd been in a hospital before. I'd also been examined before. Prodded, stung and probed many times, even more so after the change. I'd even been examined by the police for evidence. I'd been through with a brush and a fine-toothed comb for any trace of evidence. But even then, nothing could really prepare me for their medical examination. Thorough wasn't strong enough of a word. What the police had covered on the outside before, they'd not only mimicked, but stepped it up by looking inside. I was pretty sure some of those instruments were torture devices somewhere in the world. By the end of it, I was pretty sure the only privacy I had left was inside my brain. This was all done before nine. That's when the actual testing had started, inside an underground facility. "Are you done, miss?" The scientist, Lionel, was tapping his foot, just outside the changing room a bit impatiently. The man might have seemed young to be a scientist, but the way he carried himself showed

Shade 2 - Rebirth, Chapter 2
The afternoon was spent in a long visit around campus, as Catherine showed us the wonders we'd be living in for a while, from the dorms, to Kane Hall, to the crystal dome that served, out of all possible purpose, as a cafeteria. All the while, she told us tales that had gone around campus, some she'd experienced herself, others, she swore were very real and certainly not inflated just to see our jaws drop. I had my doubts.
Surprisingly, the best part of the tour wasn't the giant dome of crystal, but a quick look at the Homer Gallery, where various memorabilia was stored from all sorts of heroes and villains. Costumes, deadly gadgets, and tr

He shuffled gruffly a few times, then gave a sigh. "Okay, like, okay." He sat up a bit straighter, holding his bag closely. "The name's Robin. It's... Always been Robin, really. Don't have a nickname either."
Catherine waved a hand over. "It's a codename. Most mutants have one, especially if you have a MID card. Maybe a little early for some of you to pick right now, but it's something to think about."
Robin gulped. "Good to know."
I shivered a bit, then leaned forward. "I-I-I'm sorry if I have to ask, but it's been bugging me since I saw you. I-I don't mean any offence, but you are a..." I looked to Catherine, the

I'm not sure if this was a bright idea anymore.
It was one thing to imagine going to superhero high, picturing students flying and running around in costumes, all pretty, all powerful, all superfriends: that original mental picture was a nice dream.
But now that I was sitting on a bench, alone, at a train station, surrounded by a whole bunch of other kids I didn't know? Okay, yes, I was feeling self-conscious as heck! I was getting cold feet. All my senses were telling me to follow the bunny instincts, and run away from the embarrassment. All I'd done so far, is try to shrink in my purple hoodie, and hope no one really took notice.

"You know, maybe I should have asked her when was the best time to meet up," I asked myself as the train station's clock hit ten past eleven. Ten minutes had already passed since we were supposed to get together, but from what I could see in the half empty hall, she was a no-show. Granted, I had shown up about half an hour early, I didn't want to take too many chances afterall, but now, she was running late. Okay. Maybe I was only getting angsty. Maybe I was a little impatient. But what if maybe she didn't care to see me? What if something hapenned to her? What if-
"Late, late, late, so late!"
... Or maybe she really was late.

I glanced at the handcuff around my right wrist. Well, almost over.
One quick tug on it reaffirmed that it was attached to the hospital bed's frame. "Do I really need this?"
The inspector they'd left me with flipped the page of her newspaper, and gave a sympathetic sigh. "I'm sorry, sweetie, but it's part of the procedures. They'll come off soon enough, promise." She looked to the clock. "Your dad should be here real soon. You just have to be patient a little longer."
With a sigh, I pulled the blanket tighter around myself and closed my eyes. All I could do for now, was wait.

God, this feels so weird! After wearing pants all my life, even if the skirt went down to my knees, it felt like I was naked from the waist down. I could feel the bare skin of my legs touching one another as I walked through the mall, surrounded by a crowd of people. It felt so wrong!
But the skirt passed the girl's inspections, and it was hard to go against that. I could still remember the grin Abbey had on her face when I walked out of the changing room. She seemed so happy.
At least I only had to wear that for today. Once we'd get home, I'd be able to ditch it for the slacks we bought. I just had to be a little patien

I couldn't stop trembling as I let the warm water run down my body. At first, I thought the shower would help me. I'd be alone with my thoughts for a while, and the hot water should wake me up. It usually did the trick. Tough luck.
I did need something to wake me up though. No matter how many times I tossed and turned in my sheets, I couldn't seem to find any real sleep last night. I had so many things going on in my head. Now that I'm a girl, now that I'm a mutant, what am I going to do with my life? What am I going to become? What kind of mutant am I going to be?
