AN: mostly mine but credit for Lizzy and other bits goes to
@WhoAmEye who was also kind enough to go over this for errors and grammar and stuff.
Something completely new and random
The mess at the bottom of my locker shifted. What was only moments before something completely putrid was now mint chocolate chip icecream.
"What?"
In that instant I glanced at the locker door, wondering if I could do something similar to the door and get out of this. In that instant the door seemed to be highlighted in my senses before it shifted and dissolved into a swarm of fireflies, which flew away in a glittering swarm of sparkling lights. Blinking in confusion, I stepped out of the locker.
"Well… That happened… I think I'm just going to go home for the day."
{}{}{}{}
I was woken from my nap by knocking at the door.
Grumbling, I went to answer it. Unfortunately I turned the doorknob into a rutabaga in the process. Standing on my front door was a man in gleaming blue power armor. Why was Armsmaster standing on my front porch?
"Um hi?"
"Miss Hebert?"
"Yes?"
"We have video footage of you making your way across town leaving a… variety of odd happening as you go. The Protectorate sent me to reach out to you about responsible use of your power. Given that the videos have spread all over the internet it's safe to say you don't have a secret identity anymore. We would like to invite you to join the Wards so that you can get a handle on your powers and so we can help to protect you from the city's gangs."
I stared blankly at Armsmaster, who had just… what exactly was he doing? Giving me a sales pitch?
"Look I've had, a really really bad day. Turns out getting away from assault with biohazardous material and getting powers takes it out of a person. Not to mention now I have to explain to my dad why parts of the house are food, animals, and random, other objects."
To prove my point, a potted plant suddenly became a pile of adorable chittering weasels that started playing games with each other.
I gave a pointed glare at what used to be the squeaky step, and was now an oversized lego brick. Arsmaster seemed to fidget, then I noticed something that really made me groan.
"Ummm, Armsmaster?" I pointed over his shoulder. Armsmaster simply stared dumbfounded at what I assume used to be his Halberd.
"Miss Herbert, could you please return my Halberd to its original state?" Armsmaster said with forced calm.
"To the best of my knowledge no. I'm sorry but that snake is really starting to creep me out. I'll be sure to have my dad call you." With that I closed the door leaving Armsmaster to deal with the 12 foot long python clinging to his back.
{}{}{}{}
"Miss Hebert you are trying my patience." The director ground out.
"Look, it's not like I meant to turn your precious paperwork into a gingerbread house! I just filled it out! Seriously, why would I subject myself to that again?!"
"Do not raise your voi-" Suddenly the room fell silent. "Miss Hebert, what is on my face?" The director's voice was ice cold.
I thought about it for a moment.
Do I be nice and say it's a weasel and enjoy the look of terror on her face later, or do I… tell the truth and maybe not go to the birdcage for this?
"Well ma'am… To be perfectly honest… It appears to be the bushiest mustache I have ever seen in my life."
"... Get out of my office."
{}{}{}{}
"Hebert, what the fuck are you doing here!?" Shadow Stalker shouted at me.
"Sophia." I bit out between clenched teeth.
In that instant where once there had been a costumed ward now there was a… well I think it's still Sophia, only now her costume was gone and instead she was covered head to toe in some kind of fur, rainbow fur, about an inch of it, maybe more. I couldn't help it I fell over laughing.
With an inarticulate scream of rage Sophia launched herself at me. Only to spontaneously shrink and go tumbling ass over teakettle into the door behind me. No, I mean literally her ass went flying over a teakettle which seemed to materialize out of nowhere.
{}{}{}{}
"So now the heroes want to arrest me for attacking Shadow Stalker who is a bitch…. and who I sorta turned into a gay pride Ewok."
Alec fell off of the couch he was sitting on, laughing and clutching his sides. Brian was not faring much better and Lisa was in the middle of a giggling fit on the floor.
"I-ahahaha ha oh god that was fantastic. Look, Taylor, we would love to help you out but if your power is this random, there really isn't any safe way for us to help you. I'm really sorry, but I'd rather not become a pixie or something."
Sighing, I nodded and got up to leave. "Alright well I appreciate you guys at least hearing me out I said waving over my shoulder as the undersiders door turned into a cardboard cutout painted in what looked to be crayon scribbles.
{}{}{}{}
"So your brilliant plan was to abduct the girl who's power is to make random changes or swaps with stuff that's close to her. And then try to, what? Convince said girl to work for you? Are you stupid?"
"Oh I think we can find a use for your abilities once you have had a chance to fully grasp them." Coil said, picking up a syringe.
I was lying, a little, I had gotten better at choosing what my power changed and when, but I still had zero control over the end result except in that it was sometimes less benign than others. I tried to focus on Coils costume, only to sigh in exasperation as rather than the costume changing the syringe changed.
What had once been a needle was now a pidgeon. I took some comfort in listening to Coil curse after the stupid bird took a shit on his foot. Then I gave it another shot and grinned as Coil's costume became a solid shell of what looked like copper. Poor bastard would suffocate pretty quickly. With another application of my power the restraints became very frilly panties of various colors. It didn't take too long to rip my way out of the much weaker restraints.
With one last look at the villain, I decided, hey, maybe one last go.
And the Copper Coil was gone. Just, no poof, no vwoop, no zappy-zappy-KAPOW! Just… gone.
"Mwaaaarp!" a little draconic croak came from my foot. Looking down, I found the most adorable grey-and-red gecko!
"Oh my goodness you're so cute, yes you are, yes you are," I cooed, picking him up and snuggling him.
"Mwarp." the gecko responded, flicking his tongue out to lick his eyeball with a wet smack.
And then it's tongue shot out again to eat this annoying fly that was buzzing around screaming obscenities at me.
"I shall name you Lizzy!"
