Just as she spoke, Miriam's body shrank back to her original height, much to Zuleima's relief as well as the scientists', to whom she gave an angry glare and they cleared their throats in embarrassed awkwardness.
"Nothing, they were freaking out over a little technical issue that ended up not being an issue at all" Zuleima said.
"Well, I'm glad everything went fine" Miriam said, walking up to her friend "So, uh... did I get any taller? I haven't been able to check for myself, I think the experiment got me a little dizzy before, things looked weird..."
"Uh..." At this point, Zuleima wasn't sure about telling Miriam that she had just been saved from possibly growing out of control, maybe it'd be something she'd address later in private. "Actually, the experiment didn't quite work..." She chuckled, briefly glaring at the other scientists around her to make sure they kept their mouth shut. She then began walking out of the test room together with Miriam.
"Aww, I was wondering if I'd get a few inches" She pouted.
"Girl, you're already 6'1", why do you need to be any taller?" Zuleima laughed a little "Unless you want to feed giraffes without a ladder I don't think you need to get any more"
"Har har har..." Miriam tried to laugh sarcastically but ended up laughing for real "Would've been a fun thing to surprise Blaise with" She shrugged.
"I mean... I said you didn't grow taller... but you certainly grew..." Zuleima said, glancing down at Miriam's chest and hips, prompting her to check herself.
"Huh? Oh... Oh!" Miriam was pleasantly surprised that her chest grew quite a bit, and it was already large in the first place. She went from large D cups to easily F. She then patted her hips and she could feel a whole lot more 'padding' on them, and just to fully confirm things, she patted her butt, which probably came close to doubling its former size. Her thighs had also gotten thicker to match.
"You're welcome! Technically, it's still all natural since no surgery was involved" Zuleima chuckled "I thought you didn't want your butt to get too big though..."
"I mean... I don't want it to get too fat..." Miriam said "But I like this... I might be a fair match for Sheila now! Besides Raphael will probably go crazy" She laughed "Oh! Blaise has to see this too!"
"Make sure the poor boy doesn't suffocate" Zuleima giggled.
"Please, he's my baby..." Miriam said "There's no way his mama's buns will ever hurt him" She playfully stuck her tongue out at Zuleima.
A couple of minutes later, they were outside and Zuleima accompanied her until she reached her car.
"Hey, even if the experiment didn't exactly work as intended, your help today was still invaluable..." She said.
"Don't mention it. I think I've got more than enough of a reward for my deed" Miriam chuckled. They then said goodbye and Zuleima told her that they should hang out soon, to which Miriam agreed.
As she drove, Miriam began feeling a bit different, but not in a negative way, she felt suddenly energized, in a way that she'd never gotten from sugar or coffee. Since the experiment kickstarted her metabolism, she wondered if it made her healthier somehow. She felt that all of her senses were sharpened to their absolute best, her sight and hearing, which had always been good, felt even better now. She also found that she got better reflexes as some asshole tried to cut her off, almost smashing into her car but she dodged without issue, it was as if the world went in slow motion, giving her enough time to react.
'Heh... Next thing I know I'll be shooting spider webs out of my hands' She joked inwardly, and the rest of her drive was uneventful, reaching home safely, after which, she got off the car and stood in front of her house. She checked the time on her phone: 8:50 AM.
'Blaise must be still sleeping' She thought. She felt an urge to wake him up, but she remembered that she was a highschooler once as well, and waking up early every day was sickening at that age, so she decided to let her son sleep in, she deemed that he earned it.
But something still felt weird about her body and almost by reflex, she looked at her hand. Red and blue miniature lightning bolts flashed around it and coiled around her fingers before coursing up her arm and dissipating into her body.
"Huh? What was that?" She looked at her other hand and, although with a delay of a couple seconds, the same thing happened.
'Okay Miriam, relax... You might have read a little too many comics... These things don't happen in real life' She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt the air, the wind on her face, she then felt the ground under her feet. She felt her heart, its pumping pulses, but it was here that she could feel something extra, it wasn't just her blood, it was some kind of energy, pumping and coursing through her arteries and veins. It felt like lightning, and like lightning it crackled within her with an unknown amount of power, going through every nerve in her body like an electric shock. She then opened her eyes and looked at her right hand. Nothing. She sighed in relief, but then, her hand began emitting a flame-like aura that shifted between red and blue.
'Okay, I'm not seeing things... something's odd for sure...' She thought. The first thought to come to mind was to call Zuleima, but she doubted she really knew what it was, let alone how to deal with it. It might even get her in trouble. She didn't even know if this strange energy had some effect at all.
Wanting to test if she really had just gotten some kind of super power, she aimed her hand at the mailbox, which stood a couple feet to her left and tried to concentrate. Much to her surprise, energy gathered in her hand, intensifying the luminosity of the flame-like aura, though it kept shifting between red and blue. Somehow, it felt like that was an indicator for her to choose an option, and, leaving it entirely to chance, she decided to go with blue, thinking about the color as she then fired a large, laser-like beam at it. The mailbox was hit but there was no explosion, nor any indication of damage, though it became engulfed in the same blue aura that her hand manifested mere moments before. Then, in a most surprising turn of events for her, the mailbox began shrinking right before her eyes.
Miriam pinched herself, and even gave herself a light slap on the face for good measure, but she realized she wasn't dreaming. The mailbox had really shrunken down to roughly the size of a Matchbox car.
"Wow..." She looked at her hand in amazement "I really did get superpowers" She muttered, internally squealing in glee, her inner child fully reawakened after seeing this.
"So, if blue shrinks... red must grow, right?" She asked no one in particular as she aimed her index finger at the mailbox and once again, aura energy gathered at its tip, this time shifting to red before she fired a thinner beam that looked more like a laser than the one before. The mailbox began to grow gradually and once it reached its original size she stopped.
"Oh my god..." She then playfully blew on her finger as if it were a smoking gun, giggling like a schoolgirl.
"Okay, let's try again" She then grabbed her phone, holding it in her right hand "This could use a few more inches" She thought and once again concentrated energy in her hand, shifting it to red and slowly infusing it into her phone, making it grow. Still to her surprise, she was able to grow it to the size of a tablet.
"That's nice, but it's too much..." She then shifted her power to blue and shrank it until it ended up roughly an inch and half bigger than its original size.
Feeling excited by her find, Miriam walked into her house and began looking for things to experiment on, growing the living room's TV to about 55 inches, then growing the couch a little to accommodate her bigger body. She also enlarged a milk carton, finding out that the original liter that it contained became almost a full gallon.
She then began "playing" with small objects, such as remote controllers, coins and other things she could find to fine tune her newly-acquired size changing powers, and with each use it became easier and easier for her to adjust the size she wanted and how fast or slowly she'd change it.
'Alright, I can change the size of inanimate matter... but can my powers work on living beings?' She wondered. She went back outside and looked in her backyard, there was one thing she was looking for specifically, and she soon found it. A frog. That same frog had been living in their backyard for years, it was mostly seen at night or when it rained. Miriam affectionately named it René (pronounced Ren-ay) after Kermit from Sesame Workshop, using the Latin American dub name. As the family was friendly to it, the frog didn't fear them, and so it peacefully laid in the shade when Miriam walked towards it.
"Hello René" Miriam smiled. After roughly an hour worth of practice, she found that she didn't even need to visibly gather energy in her hands to activate her powers, so this time she simply aimed her fingertip at it and fired a red beam that scared the poor frog, but it reacted too late to dodge it, and upon being hit, it was as if it got paralyzed and it kept growing until Miriam stopped, making it roughly the size of a toad, more or less twice its original size.
Seeing that there was no harm, René was a little disoriented but didn't try getting away from Miriam, though it gave her an inquisitive look, as if questioning her intentions.
"It works! It works even on living stuff!" Miriam's eyes lit up like little stars "Thank you so much René" She giggled. Then she figured that even though leaving it bigger might initially be nice, it might end up hurting him since he might need more food than is available, so she quickly hit it with a blue beam and restored its original size.
"Here, for your troubles... Just don't tell anybody" She giggled before tossing it a small piece of ham that she enlarged after it hit the ground and waved goodbye to it before heading back inside.
"Nothing, they were freaking out over a little technical issue that ended up not being an issue at all" Zuleima said.
"Well, I'm glad everything went fine" Miriam said, walking up to her friend "So, uh... did I get any taller? I haven't been able to check for myself, I think the experiment got me a little dizzy before, things looked weird..."
