A few days later Greer had to ride the bus to get some shopping done. She was going fine until a sudden stop by the bus and several pushy people trying to force their way past her as she got off.. She felt something flip a few times before it settled. Shaking her head she sighed. Nope. Couldn't feel the practice room anymore. Oh well... that could be fixed later. Inside her mind she had a little switch she pictured for most times her powers changed. It was late and no one was around... safe enough to try. She focused and kept switching and.... something was happening but.... what?
She kept trying on the way up to the apartment, she focused and tried again. No... maybe it was something minor like eye color change? She opened the door and sighed. "Hey guys, we have mystery power again. Anyone wanna play guess....." She stopped and stared at the sight before her.
Luce and Sato were sitting on the couch facing away from the door, watching a movie. Dewi had evidently been walking to his room after a shower as his hair was still wet and Blake was on his way to grab a drink from the fridge. "Oh, welcome home, G."
"....Why the FUCK are you walking around NAKED?" She was covering her eyes, embarrassed.
Blake looks down at his black jeans and fluffy hoodie before looking back at Greer. "I'm not...?"
"You are too! I could see the freckle on your chest. This is NOT a funny prank." She looked at the ground and started to try and quickly make her way to her room.
By the time she closed the door, the boys had to connected the dots. Blake goes and knocks on her door. "Greer? Don't open your door yet, but we're not playing any kind of prank on you... You mentioned getting a mystery power, right? I think I know what it is..."
"What is it? cause I keep trying to flip it and it's not doing anything...."
"You can see through things... and it seems, right now, at least, that thing is clothes. I think I can prove it. Just because you can't see what I'm wearing directly doesn't mean you can't see it in an image. So if you look at my reflection or an electrical device that shows an image of me, you should see that I am wearing clothes..."
"..." She turned away from the door and pulled up her phone, setting it to selfie mode. "Ok.... I'm trying it right now. Open the door."
Blake opens the door and cautiously comes in as if slightly worried that it won't work how he expects.
"....you are dressed." she groaned. "Great hopefully the person on the bus wasn't a perver-!" As she turned she looked at Blake and was shocked enough to fall backwards onto the floor. "THERE'S MORE THAN ONE SETTING!"
"Do I want to know what you can see right now?"
"You look like a living skeleton right now."
"Do I at least still look cool like that?"
"I'm sure you have one of the coolest skeletons around Babe." Poor Bee was so confused and looked like she wanted to hug Blake but wasn't sure.
"I knew it, I'm sexy to the bone..." Blake has a cheeky grin, not that Greer can see it right now.
"Oh my god... Dewi! Blake is being a dork." She got up and braced herself. "Ok... let's just... try to get to normal...." Her eyes flashed and...".....you are now you're a brain and... nervous system... ok this is the weirdest power and I had a scent based one before."
"Probably really helpful in the medical field, though. With the right knowledge and practice with it, the user could figure out what medical problem a patient has more easily."
"Guess.... ok circulatory... your internal organs and gah! Apparently eyes count... and they are just floating there."
"Is that some convoluted way of calling me an airhead?"
"Babe. I love you. You are a dork. And.... I can now see your muscles without skin."
Blake makes a motion like pretending to try to cover himself. "That's private, thank-you-very-much..."
Greer chuckled a little. She was starting to relax. "Guess this is the most naked anyone has ever seen you, even Dewi."
"I guess that makes you pretty special, don't you think?"
"Where is Dewi... I thought he'd come in wanting to mess with me a little on this..."
"Probably wanted to make sure it was safe before coming... They sent me to convince you since Dew's more likely to be pulling pranks."
"You pull pranks too. Ok let's get this back.... dammit I'm on bones again.... this power is touchy. God, can you imagine being a teenager with this power- don't you DARE point out I'm 18! That doesn't count"
"I can imagine how hard it would be, though they likely had a good amount of practice before the hormones started kicking in. Most get their powers around age 5."
Another figure walks in. "This power giving you problems, Princess?"
"Yeah, now you look like skeletons. It's easy to flip past where I want..."
"Well, deep breathes. It might take a tender mental hand to get it to do what you want... Like when working on a delicate part of a machine. Getting frustrated will just make it harder."
"You aren't the one staring at a pair of sexy skeletons." She smirked as she started carefully switching between them. "And now we have proof you got a big brain Dewi."
"Makes sense. This form just oozes intelligence..."
"It's the red tips. keeps you from being too blond like me." She chuckled and kept switching. "Are... you Destiny right now? Your muscle structure looks pretty fem..."
"It is a female form, thanks for noticing. I decided to have a bit of fun..."
She rolled her eyes a bit. "Ok ok... hold on I think I have... it..." She looked at them, they were fully clothed.
Dewi was wearing an oversized pastel green tee and complimenting pants. His sandy hair is styled short with a single streak of green and a simple flower barrette holding some of the hair out of his face.
"....why...I don't look that pretty...." She could barely believe it. Dewi, as her, looked so nice right now.
"Are you sure about that? I'm fairly sure I got at least most if not all the details exactly the same."
"I... I never look that nice.... do I?"
"Always. The biggest difference is you tend to carry yourself like you don't think you're beautiful... Like you're ashamed to let anyone see you."
She looked at him and rubbed her eyes. "Geeze... gonna.. gonna make me change settings...." She gave Dewi then Blake a quick kiss.
Dewi has a sweet smile until he suddenly realizes something. "Darn it. I lost the chance to say something witty about you undressing us with your eyes...."
"...please don't I nearly saw Luce and Sato naked."
He gives a little shutter. "That'd be like accidentally seeing your parents... Let's agree to never talk about this power again..."
She nodded. "Thankfully it was a rando on the bus.... I doubt I'll run into them again." She shifted a bit. "Speaking of random powers I'm.. doing an experiment with Sato day after tomorrow. Forgot to tell you sooner. Sorry."
"Oh? What experiment?"
"..how many times I can switch my ability without issues." She shrunk down a bit, realizing not telling them sooner might have gone against the rules.
"Well, that sounds like it would be beneficial to know. You'll make sure to stay safe and let Sato know if you start getting tired, right? I know he'll do his best to make sure nothing goes wrong, but it'll be important that you let him know if you start feeling weird so you don't push yourself too much..."
“Well that’s... kinda the point. I can’t turn it off and we if are gonna head to a place where at lot of powered are gonna be… I’m not gonna have a choice. I’m hoping to find out after so many my power maybe stops for the day...”
"I understand, G, but promise us you'll be careful if you start having negative effects before you reach that limit...?"
"I'll do my best..."
"That's all we ask of you." Blake smiles. "Now, I believe you rushed in here without grabbing anything to eat. What do you say to a light dinner and maybe a movie before bed?"
"Yeah that'd be ni- BEE!" And Bee just lightly headbutted the boys into the bed in a cuddle attempt.
"...Or straight to cuddling. Cuddling first is also a good option..."
Greer looked at Dewi and grinned. "Well.... I guess we're gonna have to make a Blake sandwich then…" She snuggled up, hoping Dewi would get the hint.
Dewi snuggles up on the other side of Blake. "Sounds good to me..."
