By this time, Amanda was the center of attention for everyone in the gym. Her massively muscled, nearly naked physique defied description and her strength was now closer to super human than human. Jake’s knees were wobbling from desire and lust and Samantha was near tears. Amanda walked over toward Jake, grabbed his shirt with her small hand and showing no strain, lifted his body up into the air until his feet dangled above the ground.

“So Jake. After making fun of small people like me, suddenly I’m your dream girl huh?”

Jake’s thoughts of lust suddenly shifted. Amanda no longer looked so friendly. Samantha reached over and attempted to push Amanda, but it was like trying to move a statue. Amanda giggled softly at what was now a useless gesture, reached out and grabbed Samantha by her shirt and lifted her off the ground.

“And Samantha. Always making fun of anyone not in your little clique. The idea that I would morph into Jake’s dream girl must be killing you, hmmm?”

Both Jake and Samantha reached down and grasped Amanda’s forearms in what was now a hopeless attempt to break free. Amanda allowed them to squeeze her steel hard muscles so they could get a better sense of just how powerful she really was.

“Well don’t worry Samantha. I don’t want anything to do with this piece of garbage. And I want even less to do with you.”

Both stopped struggling and looked down at Amanda with widening eyes.

“But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to teach you two a lesson. Now that you’ve seen I can bend a huge barbell into a ball and toss it through the roof, just how far do you think I could toss you two?”

The gathering crowd had frozen to see the show play out. Now they began to buzz with anticipation and concern. The teachers began to work their way through the crowd to put an end to whatever was transpiring as Jake and Samantha began to beg for their lives. Amanda had a hard time containing her smile. She had no intention of really harming them. But scaring the crap out them? Well that was a different story. As a couple of Jake’s friends gathered some courage and moved forward and as two teacher’s got close enough to see what was going on, the side wall caved in with an explosion.

The crowd ducked down and Amanda dropped Jake and Samantha back to their feet, still maintaining her grip. As the smoke cleared a bit, a throng of black dressed commandos worked their way through the hole in the wall and a modified tank roared up to where the wall was. Agents dressed like they were from Men in Black moved in behind the military men. One of them pulled out a bull horn, looked around and quickly spotted the person of interest.

“You! Young lady! Release those two and drop to your knees!”

Amanda squinted as spot lights were moved around and shined on her. Janet shook her head and Dr. Fez momentarily dropped his horn. Amanda, surprised at the turn of events, released Jake and Samantha. Amanda brought up her right hand as a visor over her eyes as her two captives scurried away. More agents were corralling all of the witnesses toward a back door where large vans were waiting for “reprogramming”.

Janet looked around as Amanda stayed in place. She hadn’t dropped to her knees. They never do. Pulling out an energy detector, Janet began sweeping the area, looking for the gun’s signature energy. Moving the device around, the gun wound up pointing at the girl. Sure, anyone hit with the gun had the same energy signature as the gun, but it was still different. And definitely weaker. But the energy signature coming from the muscle girl was as strong as that seen from the gun. Something was definitely wrong. Something bad.

Dr. Fez shook his head as the gym was cleared. The subjects always seem surprised. Finding a gun with fantastic powers, give yourself or your friends big muscles and/or height and wreak some havoc was all somehow normal. But when the government shows up, they seem shocked. He furrowed his brow. This girl was muscular all right. But she wasn’t that tall. With this frame, she shouldn’t have been able to launch that metal ball through the roof. Unless she was smart enough to shrink and give herself a full muscle shot. But nobody else had figured that out yet. Lifting the bull horn back up, Dr. Fez went into his normal speech.

“OK miss. We know all about the gun. Now why don’t you just hand it over and come with us peacefully. You wouldn’t want anything bad to happen would you?”

Amanda looked around as the men now pulled up strange looking guns. The barrel of the tank even began to glow as it rotated down toward her. Oh crap. What had she gotten herself in to? The gun was destroyed. She doublted they would like that very much. Putting her hands out, she stammered.

“Uh, look guys. I don’t have the gun. I, uh, lost it. This just happened earlier today.”

Dr. Fez listened to his earpiece. Interviewing a few of the students had indicated that she had just grown this strong. If she didn’t have it, someone had been shooting her. Only nobody pulled out had it. As he gave a command to keep looking, Janet walked over.

“No sign of the gun, but the energy signatures seem out of place.”

Dr. Fez leaned over, looking at the readings. Amanda didn’t like what was going on. She could make herself damn strong, but she had no clue what she was up against. What if they called in the supers? No, right now she needed to get out of here. And fast. Darting her eyes around, she figured the best path was back into school and out a side door.

Dr. Fez’s expression changed as he looked over the readings. “Oh, dear lord no. It can’t be.”

Janet turned her head and gave Dr. Fez a quizzical look. “What?”

Before he could speak, Amanda turned and made a run for it. The men where on orders to contain her. As soon as she made her turn, energy beams flashed from the solders guns, striking Amanda. She yelled out with pain and confusion and tumbled to the ground. Gritting her teeth, Amanda fought to stay conscious, and thought about becoming stronger, harder, more muscular. Anything to make the pain stop. Her muscles bunched and crackled against the energy discharge. Her body shook as she grew harder and stronger. Within moments the pain reduced and as she got up, the pain continued to lessen. The strength of thousands continued to build and multiply and pound through her veins into her muscles. Her muscles grew harder and denser and pulsed bigger to the point of filling up all the space they could contain. Finally turning to face the barrage, Amanda smiled wickedly as the beams stopped covering her and began to bounce off her twin basketball sized, striated super muscular chest. And as she began to focus through the light show surrounding her, the tank finally got a bead on her.

And fired.
