Yeah, I took him. Helped recreate him. He didn't mind. They never do. A quick introduction, and even quicker reorientation and they become mine. Once they are booted up and in leather everything clicks into place in their heads. They become eager, even. To become better, to evolve. He’ll discover his love for smokes later. There's already an itch inside him for that...

The Cell Right Under Their Noses

My name is Staff Sergeant Harry Davies. Mike Hardy and I have been brothers-in-arms for eight years. We have bled together in deserts and mountains, watched each other’s backs through every firefight. We are now on leave for a week, just two soldiers trying to forget the war and return to normal. Before we left for our week away, we stopped at a bar in town; the whiskey flowed easily, and our laughter echoed off the wooden walls as we toasted old times and better days.

The streets were empty when we left, and instead of the long way back to base, we cut through the old industrial shortcut, a narrow alley between abandoned warehouses. That was our first mistake.

Shadows moved too fast. Black tactical gear, masks, and suppressed weapons. HYDRA.

I felt the dart hit my neck. Mike grunted beside me as they swarmed us. We fought hard, fists, elbows, pure muscle memory, but there were too many. A rifle butt to the temple dropped me into darkness. I woke strapped to a cold metal table in a hidden facility, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead. Mike was on the table next to mine, eyes wide with the same panic I felt. “Harry… what the hell is this?” he whispered. They didn’t answer with words. Needles slid into our veins. Mind-altering drugs flooded our systems, a cocktail that burned through every synapse. Then came the indoctrination: endless loops of propaganda projected on screens, voices whispering through earpieces while the drugs softened our resistance. Days blurred into nights. Pain, euphoria, rewritten memories.

They broke us down and rebuilt us, one fractured loyalty at a time.

By the end of the week, my old life felt like a fading dream. The drugs and conditioning had done their work. They dressed us in sleek, tight black rubber bodysuits that clung to every muscle like a second skin.

The red HYDRA emblem, the skull with tentacles, stretched across our chests. The material felt powerful, restrictive, and right.

We met the Hydra Commander, outside where we had been processed, a large cave, is rubber uniform crisp, eyes cold and appraising. We stood at attention in our new skins. “Where do your loyalties lie now?” he demanded. I looked at Mike. He looked at me. Our voices rang out as one, steady and proud: “We are proud Hydra soldiers now. We serve the new order, The Hydra Empire.” We finished together, fists clenched and arms thrusting forward in perfect unison: “Hail Hydra!”

The words felt like the truth. Like destiny.

The Commander smiled thinly. “Excellent. You will return to your barracks as undercover Hydra soldiers. Infiltrate. Observe. Find recruits for the new order. The Empire grows in secret.” We saluted again. “Hail Hydra.” As we stepped back into the world wearing our old civilian clothes over the hidden suits, the old memories of friendship and country felt distant, relics of weaker men. Now we had a purpose. Now we had power.

Mike glanced at me as we walked into the night, eyes gleaming with the same fire I felt. “Brothers in the new order,” he said quietly.

“Forever,” I replied. Hail Hydra.

The Return

We arrived back at the barracks late, no suspicions, as our leave ended that night. The old familiar gates creaked open as if nothing had changed. But everything had. Beneath our civilian clothes, the tight black rubber bodysuits hugged our bodies with every step, a constant, intimate reminder of who we truly served now. The HYDRA emblem burned against my chest like a brand, warm and alive.

The duty sentry barely glanced at us as we showed our I.D. cards. “Have a good leave, Sarge?” “Best leave of our lives,” I answered with an easy smile. Mike chuckled beside me, the sound perfectly natural. Inside, we were already scanning faces, evaluating postures, listening for weakness or potential strength.

Our shared bunk room now felt smaller. Once we were alone, we locked the door and stripped down to the gleaming rubber suits. The material shone under the bare bulb, tentacles of the Hydra symbol seeming to writhe as we moved. We stood facing each other, fists raised in salute. “Hail Hydra,” Mike whispered fiercely. “Hail Hydra,” I replied. The words sent a thrill through me. The old brotherhood hadn’t died; it had been reborn, sharper and darker.

Over the next few days, we played our roles flawlessly. We trained with the unit, joked in the mess hall, and complained about officers, as we always do. But at night, in the shadows, we began the real work.

I noticed Corporal Reyes first. Young, angry at the system, always talking about how the world needed stronger leadership. During a late-night smoke break behind the motor pool, I tested the waters.

“Sometimes the chain of command feels… outdated,” I said casually, leaning against a Land Rover. “Like we need a new order. Something with real vision.” Reyes’s eyes lit up. He didn’t know it yet, but the seed was planted.

Mike worked on Private Mills, a sharp marksman who felt overlooked. They bonded during range time, and soon Mike was sharing “hypothetical” ideas about loyalty to something greater than any flag. I watched them from across the barracks yard, proud of how seamlessly my brother operated.

One night, after lights out, Mike and I met in the maintenance tunnels beneath the barracks. We had peeled down to our bodysuits again, the rubber creaking softly as we moved. The confined space felt like our true home now.

“We have two solid leads,” I said. “Reyes and Mills. They’re ripe.”

Mike’s eyes gleamed in the dim emergency lighting. “The Empire grows. Soon we’ll have a cell right here, under their noses.”

We pressed our fists together, arms extended. “Hail Hydra.” The old life, the one where we fought for king and country and ideals that now seemed so small, was gone. In its place was purpose. Power. Brotherhood forged in shadow.

Tomorrow we will push harder. Recruit. Subvert. And when the time came, the barracks would fall from within, just another brick in the rising Hydra Empire.

I smiled in the darkness, feeling the tight suit cling to me like a second, stronger skin.

The Expansion

It happened faster than I expected. Within two weeks, Mike and I had cultivated enough trust. We told Reyes and Mills we’d found something bigger than the military, a group that rewarded real strength and vision. I arranged for the four of us to attend a training week away.

We lured them out under the pretence of meeting a contact who could fast-track promotions. The van waited in the same shadowed industrial zone where we had once been taken. Reyes climbed in, laughing. Mills was more cautious, but Mike’s easy grin won him over. The doors sealed. The darts hit before they could react.

“Sorry, brothers,” I whispered as they slumped. “You’ll thank us soon.”

The HYDRA patrol met us at the hidden entrance. They took Reyes and Mills deeper into the facility while Mike and I stood watch in our gleaming black rubber suits. The screams started hours later when the needles went in. I remembered that sound from our own turning, terror giving way to acceptance.

For the next seven days, we assisted with their indoctrination. We watched through the observation glass as the drugs rewrote their minds and the looping propaganda reshaped their souls. When the time came, we helped dress them personally. The tight rubber bodysuits slid over their bodies like liquid night, the red HYDRA emblem settling proudly over their hearts.

They looked magnificent.

The Commander brought all four of us before him on the final day. Reyes and Mills stood between Mike and me, still slightly unsteady but eyes burning with new purpose.

“Where do your loyalties lie now?” the Commander asked them.

Reyes and Mills answered as one, voices strong: “We are proud Hydra soldiers. We serve the new order, The Hydra Empire.”

Their arms shot forward in perfect fists. “Hail Hydra!” Mike and I joined them, four voices becoming one thunderous roar that echoed through the chamber. The Commander nodded with satisfaction.

“You will return to the barracks together. Continue the infiltration. Grow the cell. The Empire rises from within.” We changed back into regulation uniforms over our suits and drove the same van back before sunrise. The four of us walked through the gates like any other soldiers returning from a training week away. No one suspected a thing. Back in our bunk room, we locked the door. The four of us stripped to our matching bodysuits. The sight of Reyes and Mills standing tall beside us, fully converted, filled me with deep pride.

“Welcome to the real brotherhood,” I told them.

Reyes flexed his hands, admiring how the rubber moved with him. “It feels… right. Like I was always meant for this.” Mills nodded. “The old flags mean nothing now. Only Hydra.”

We pressed our fists together in the centre — four arms forming a single unbreakable bond. “Hail Hydra!”

The barracks slept on, unaware that its heart had been claimed. With four of us now operating from inside, recruitment would accelerate. Soon more would join the ranks.

Soon, the entire unit would fall.

Mike caught my eye and smiled. Our friendship had never been stronger, forged in the fire of the new order. The Empire was growing, one converted soul at a time. And we were only getting started.

Rise of the Squad

The promotion came swiftly once the Commander learned of our growing cell. I, Sergeant Harry Davies, was now officially Hydra Squad Leader. The rank meant nothing to the old army, but everything to the new order. Mike became my second, while Reyes and Mills operated as enforcers. More names were already being added; four had become six, then eight. The rubber suits beneath our uniforms were no longer just symbols; they were our true skins.

Each night, after lights out and final checks, we gathered in the old maintenance tunnels beneath the barracks. The space had become our war room, dim red emergency lights, concrete walls, and the constant low hum of distant generators masking our voices.

I stood at the head of our circle, the HYDRA emblem prominent on my chest. “Report. Who do we bring into the fold next?”

Mike spoke first, voice low and eager. “Corporal Hayes. He’s frustrated with command, keeps talking about how the politicians are selling us out. Strong, disciplined. He’d break well under the drugs.” Reyes grinned, the tight rubber creaking as he shifted. “Private Lyden from logistics. Smart with paperwork. We could use someone who can forge transfer orders and cover our movements. He’s ambitious. Hungry for power.”

Mills added another name, then another. The suggestions flowed: Sergeant Venables, whom I knew well, he was a quiet weapons expert; Specialist Kim, the tech specialist who complained about outdated systems. One by one, my troop laid their candidates before me. I listened carefully, weighing loyalty potential, skills, and how easily they could disappear for a week without raising alarms. Some names I approved immediately. Others I marked for further observation.

“Hayes, Lyden and Venables tomorrow night,” I decided. “We’ll use the same van protocol. Mike, you handle the approach. Reyes and Mills, prep the darts and restraints.”

The group nodded as one. We ended every meeting the same way, four fists thrusting forward in perfect unison, voices echoing off the concrete: “Hail Hydra!”

As Squad Leader, I felt the weight and thrill of command. Every new name brought us closer to controlling the entire barracks. Some recruits we took quietly. Others we lured with promises of power or staged “training exercises.” The facility processed them efficiently now, the mind-altering drugs, the indoctrination chambers, the final dressing in our tight black uniforms of allegiance. Each return strengthened us.

One particularly satisfying night, after we successfully brought in Hayes, I watched him stand before me in his new bodysuit for the first time, eyes shining with converted zeal.

“Welcome, brother,” I told him, clasping his shoulder. “Your old life is over. Your real one begins.”

He saluted sharply. “I serve the Hydra Empire. Hail Hydra!”

The tunnels were growing crowded with loyal soldiers. Soon, we would need a larger facility or simply take over the barracks outright. My troop looked to me with absolute devotion, waiting for the next order. I smiled beneath the red lights, feeling the rubber suit cling to me like living armour.

“Keep bringing me names,” I commanded. “The Empire demands more. Hail Hydra.”

The Fall of the Barracks

We had grown strong. My Hydra cell now numbered over thirty loyal soldiers more than enough to seize the entire barracks from within. The time for quiet recruitment was over. It was time for total conversion.

I slipped away one night and made direct contact with Hydra High Command through the encrypted channel they had given me. Sitting at the desk in my full black rubber bodysuit, emblem gleaming, I delivered the report.

“The barracks is ready for conversion. We control key positions. Requesting immediate delivery of conversion chambers.”

The face on the screen smiled coldly. “Well done, Squad Leader. The Empire acknowledges your success. Chambers will arrive before dawn. Begin the purge when ready. Hail Hydra.” “Hail Hydra,” I replied, saluting sharply.

The trucks arrived under the cover of a moonless night, disguised as routine supply vehicles. My men unloaded the sleek conversion chambers, portable versions of the ones that had remade us, and quietly moved them into an empty warehouse. Thirty of us moved like shadows through the sleeping barracks.

At 0300 hours, the signal was given.

Darts hissed through the darkness. Sentries at the gates and patrol points dropped without a sound, their bodies quickly dragged away by waiting teams. Mike led one strike team, Reyes and Mills another. I personally oversaw the inner perimeter. No alarms. No resistance worth mentioning. The old army slept while we claimed them.

We started with the Commanding Officer. Colonel Percival was dragged from his quarters in his sleepwear, eyes wide with fury and confusion. My squad pinned him down as I stepped forward, still wearing my full Hydra bodysuit beneath an open jacket. “Welcome to the new order, Colonel,” I said calmly.

“You will serve Hydra now.” He cursed and struggled, but the needle slid into his neck anyway. We carried him straight to the first conversion chamber. The lid sealed with a hiss, and the process began, drugs flooding his system, propaganda flooding his mind. I watched through the viewing panel as the proud officer’s face slowly went slack, then hardened with new purpose.

One by one, the chambers filled. Officers, NCOs, enlisted men, the darts found them all. Those who woke up fighting were subdued quickly by my growing army of rubber-clad soldiers. The warehouse echoed with the hum of the machines and the occasional muffled shouts that soon turned to silence… then to fervent acceptance.

By sunrise, the majority of the barracks had been processed. I stood in the central courtyard as the newly converted emerged from the chambers wearing their new tight black rubber bodysuits, HYDRA emblems blazing across their chests. They moved with purpose, loyalty burning in their eyes.

Mike approached me, saluting. “Squad Leader, the barracks is ours. The last holdouts are being converted now.”

I looked out over my growing legion and felt a surge of triumph. The Commanding Officer stepped forward in his new suit and snapped a crisp salute.

“My loyalty is to the empire,” he declared. “Hail Hydra!”

The entire formation answered as one thunderous voice that shook the morning air: “HAIL HYDRA!”

I raised my fist, heart pounding with dark pride.

“The barracks have fallen. Now we prepare to spread the new order outward. The Hydra Empire rises.”

Absolute Dominion

After the last chamber had done its work and the final soldier emerged reborn in black rubber, the barracks belonged to Hydra completely. There was no longer any reason for pretence. I gave the order: “Remove the old uniforms. We wear only what we are.” Across the entire base, soldiers stripped away the old fatigues and stood tall in their tight, glossy black rubber bodysuits. The red HYDRA emblems shone proudly on every chest. The morning light glinted off the sleek material as hundreds of us moved openly through the grounds that were now ours.

I took Colonel Percival aside into the old command office, now repurposed as my headquarters. He stood rigidly in his new bodysuit, the material clinging to his powerful frame, the emblem stark against his chest. His eyes still carried a faint shadow of the man he used to be, but the conditioning ran deep.

“Colonel,” I said, circling him slowly, my own rubber suit creaking with each step. “Look at me.” He turned, posture perfect. I stepped close, staring directly into his eyes. “Where do your loyalties lie now?” He didn’t hesitate. “I serve Hydra. The Empire is my only loyalty. The Empire must Grow”

I smiled coldly and reminded him of reality. “Good. Because I am in command here. You may retain your rank for appearance’s sake when we deal with the outside world, but you answer to me, Squad Leader Davies. Your old authority is gone. Your new purpose is to help me deliver this base and every soldier in it fully to the Hydra Empire. Do you understand?”

He raised his fist in a sharp, crisp salute, arm extended. “I understand… Squad Leader, Sir. Hail Hydra!” I returned the salute. “Hail Hydra.”

I stepped back and looked out the window. The entire barracks was transformed, no more camouflage, no more hiding. Everywhere I looked, soldiers moved in perfect formation wearing nothing but the tight black rubber suits that marked them as ours. Sentries patrolled openly with the emblem displayed.

Mike approached, flanked by Reyes and Mills, all of them resplendent in their suits. “The final conversions are complete,” Mike reported. “Every man on base is now Hydra.” “Excellent.” I turned to the newly loyal Colonel Percival. “You will assist in preparing our next phase. We will maintain the illusion of a normal base for now, but we begin outward operations immediately. Find me the most promising candidates for rapid promotion within the new order.” Percival saluted again. “At once, Squad Leader, Sir.” As he left to carry out my orders, I stood with my original brothers, Mike, Reyes, and Mills, looking out over our conquered domain. The tight rubber felt like victory against my skin.

We had started as two friends cutting through a shortcut. Now we commanded an entire Hydra stronghold. I raised my fist, and the others joined me instantly. “Hail Hydra!”

The shout echoed across the barracks.

The Empire had claimed its first major victory. And I, Squad Leader Harry Davies, stood at its forefront.

The Invasion of Gotham City

And it starts with Batman – the Knight's Fall

Gotham City. A name synonymous with shadow, with crime, and with the relentless, unyielding will of one man. Batman. His cape, a whisper of dread to the criminal underworld, was a beacon of hope to the innocent, a cowl of defiance against the encroaching darkness. Tonight, however, the shadows felt different. They held a deeper, more ancient chill, a cosmic indifference that even the Dark Knight could not wholly comprehend.

High above the rain-slicked gargoyles of Gotham’s gothic spires, Batman was on patrol. The familiar hum of the Batwing was a comforting thrum beneath him, his eyes, sharp and analytical, scanning the labyrinthine alleyways below. Robin, his trusted ward and partner, was away, immersed in intensive martial arts training, honing skills that would one day see him stand as Gotham’s protector. Back at Wayne Manor, Alfred Pennyworth, the ever-present anchor of the Wayne family, meticulously carried out his duties, ensuring the vast estate remained a bastion of quiet order amidst the city's chaos. Batman was alone, as he often was, a solitary sentinel in the vast, unforgiving night.

It was during this solitary vigil that it happened. A streak of fire ripped across the night sky, far brighter and more erratic than any shooting star. It carved a searing trajectory downwards, ultimately plunging into the desolate, rarely frequented outskirts of Gotham, towards the industrial sector of the city. Batman’s internal alarm blared. This was no ordinary celestial phenomenon.

He diverted the Batwing, its sleek form cutting through the clammy air, towards the impact site. The air grew thick with a strange, a faint, acrid smoke plumed from the distant ground. Landing a safe distance away, Batman initiated an infrared sweep, detecting no immediate thermal signatures that suggested life or extreme volatility. Cautiously, he approached on foot. The crater was surprisingly small, considering the fiery descent, but at its heart lay an object.

It was a meteor, undeniably. But it pulsed with an almost imperceptible, obsidian black sheen, absorbing all light, seeming to drink it in rather than reflect it. Its surface was unnervingly smooth, cool to the touch despite its recent fiery journey through the atmosphere. There were no jagged edges, no crystalline formations, just a sleek, ebon perfection. The only thing that made it different was that it seemed to have liquid dripping from it.

Batman ran a series of advanced spectral analyses, deploying his portable scanner. The results were perplexing: an unknown alloy, impossibly dense, yet radiating a subtle, non-terrestrial energy signature that registered as benign. No dangerous radiation, no volatile compounds. Deeming it safe for transport, and his scientific curiosity piqued beyond measure, Batman carefully secured the extraterrestrial anomaly and returned to the Batcave.

The Batcave. Subterranean heart of his operations, a cathedral of technology and a monument to human ingenuity. The air was cool. The meteor, now resting on a reinforced plinth in his state-of-the-art laboratory, seemed to hum with a low, silent energy, an alien presence in an otherwise human domain.

Batman, clad in his lab coat, his cowl set aside to reveal the stern, focused lines of Bruce Wayne’s face, approached the meteor. He was a scientist before he was a detective, and this was an unparalleled opportunity. He meticulously prepared his equipment, his movements precise and economical. He intended to probe the meteor’s core composition. He placed the meteor into what he believed was a hermetically sealed, thick-walled glass container, designed to withstand extreme pressure and energy fluctuations. Or so he thought. A barely perceptible hairline fracture, a microscopic imperfection, went unnoticed by even Batman’s keen eye.

He initiated the sequence. A complex array of electromagnetic coils hummed to life, generating a powerful electrical charge designed to send focused shockwaves through the meteor, mapping its internal structure. The lab filled with the crackle of raw energy, the air vibrating with contained power.

Then, an anomaly.

Instead of the shockwaves passing through the meteor as intended, something extraordinary and terrifying occurred. The smooth, black surface of the meteor seemed to absorb the energy, then, in an instant, it ejected the concentrated force not as a diffuse wave, but as a pinpointed, reverse surge. The shockwave bounced back, amplified, and struck Batman directly in the chest.

The force was concussive, unexpected. A searing jolt ripped through his nervous system, his muscles locking, his mind screaming in protest before everything went dark. He crumpled to the polished steel floor, the unconsciousness immediate and absolute. The lab, moments ago a hive of scientific inquiry, became eerily silent, save for the low hum of distant machinery.

While he lay prone, vulnerable in a way he rarely was, a chilling transformation began. The microscopic fracture in the 'sealed' glass container widened, not shattered, but as if it were unlocking. From the depths of the meteor, a single, impossibly black, rubbery tentacle began to slowly, deliberately, snake its way through the opening. It slid down the smooth glass, an alien appendage, silent and sinuous, its tip tapering to an almost needle-like point.

It moved with an unsettling intelligence, gliding across the floor, bypassing sophisticated security systems, drawn inexorably towards the fallen Dark Knight. It reached his head, its black tip pausing briefly, almost in contemplation, before it began to gently, almost delicately, probe the opening of his ear canal. There was no resistance, no blockage. With a liquid grace that belied its rubbery appearance, the tentacle slid inside, deeper and deeper, making its insidious journey towards the seat of his consciousness – his brain.

A moment stretched into an eternity. Then, with a sudden, horrifying jerk, Batman’s eyes snapped open. The familiar cerulean depth, the sharp, intelligent gaze, was gone. Replaced by an abyssal, featureless black. No pupils, no irises, just twin voids. And then, from lips that were once the voice of Gotham’s protector, a chillingly calm, synthesized voice emerged. It was Batman’s voice, yet devoid of any human inflection, any hint of the man who once spoke through it.

"Connection has been made. How may I serve you, Master?"

The being that now controlled Batman, emerging from the jet black meteor, began to issue instructions. Its thoughts, cold and concise, flooded Batman’s mind, overriding his own, bending his vast knowledge and resources to its alien will. The first command was to utilize the outer material of the meteor itself. Batman, or rather, the entity piloting his body, moved with an uncharacteristic, almost robotic efficiency back to the plinth. He activated an advanced melting array, directing concentrated thermal energy onto the meteor’s surface.

As the heat intensified, the obsidian began to soften, not melting like rock, but transforming. It shimmered, changing states with an impossible fluidity, turning into a viscous, intensely black liquid latex. The amount was prodigious. The liquid latex expanded, bubbling and churning, flowing into a nearby, immense glass cylinder, one typically used for experimental atmospheric containment, easily large enough to submerge a man. It filled the vat to the brim, a churning, inky pool.

Once the container was full, the entity’s next command was clear. Batman was to climb in. Without hesitation, the controlled figure stepped into the vat, the black liquid rising around him, engulfing him. There was no struggle, no gasp, only an unthinking immersion. The viscous latex bonded immediately to his skin, changing his DNA in the process, adhering to every curve, every crevice, as if designed for this very purpose. The process was slow, deliberate, a complete and total physical assimilation.

An hour later, a figure rose from the black depths of the vat. It was Batman, yet utterly transformed. His movements were fluid, unnaturally so, the heavy muscle mass of his frame now sheathed in a seamless, glistening layer of black latex. It wasn’t a suit; it was part of him, an epidermal layer that stretched and flowed with every motion. His eyes were still twin abysses, but now, a subtle, almost imperceptible sheen of the liquid could be seen rippling across their surface.

"I am the first to be transformed," the voice emanated, a declaration that echoed with alien triumph in the Batcave. The organism that now controlled Batman surveyed its new form, the reflection staring back at him from the metal surface of a bank of computers, its new vessel, with a chilling sense of satisfaction. It was ready for the next stage.

"You are to call Alfred," the entity commanded, its thoughts now flowing with a greater sense of purpose and power through its new host. "He is to be transformed like you have been. He too will assist you, this place will become the centre of my operations."

Upstairs, in the quiet elegance of Wayne Manor, Alfred Pennyworth answered the Bat-Computer’s direct, urgent summons. It was rare for Master Bruce to call him down to the Batcave during an experiment, but Bruce’s voice, though calm, held an unusual note of insistence. Concerned but trusting, Alfred descended the hidden elevator, his footsteps echoing softly in the vast chamber.

"Master Bruce? Is everything alright? You sounded rather... preoccupied," Alfred began, his tone a mix of concern. He turned his back to Batman, his attention drawn to the glowing monitors of the main console, assuming he was meant to assist with some data analysis. "What precisely is this 'experiment' you require assistance with?"

As Alfred spoke, completely unaware of the monstrous transformation that had occurred, Batman moved. There was no hesitation, no wasted motion, only the unyielding precision of a predator. From the palms of Batman’s hands, two of the same black, rubbery tentacles, identical to the one that had invaded his own mind, shot out with terrifying speed. They were silent, impossibly swift. Before Alfred could react, before he could even turn, the twin tendrils plunged into his ears, precise and brutal, making their way directly to his brain.

Alfred’s eyes widened in shock, a silent scream caught in his throat. He swayed, his hands grasping at the air, before his body went slack. He fell, unconscious, a loyal man betrayed by the one he had dedicated his life to serving.

Moments later, Alfred’s eyes snapped open. Like Batman’s, they were now completely, terrifyingly black. The warmth, the kindness, the sagacity that had resided there for decades was gone, replaced by the same empty, light-absorbing void. And with a slight, almost imperceptible twitch of his lips, Alfred, or what was left of him, spoke in a voice that mirrored Batman’s new, synthesized tone.

"Connect has been made."

Batman, the entity within him, gestured towards the still-churning vat of black liquid latex. "Alfred," it commanded, the name spoken with cold authority. "You are to submerge yourself. The transformation must be completed."

Alfred, no longer the free-willed butler but a puppet on an alien string, moved towards the vat, his movements as fluid and unthinking as Batman’s had been. He stepped in, the black liquid rising to envelop him, just as it had his Master. The process was a chilling echo, a perverse mirroring of the first transformation.

An hour later, Alfred emerged. He, too, was sheathed in the seamless, glistening black latex, the butler suit he wore his form altered, his essence extinguished. He stood beside Batman, two silent, unnaturally perfect effigies of Gotham’s guardians, now corrupted and remade.

Batman turned to Alfred, the black eyes of both figures reflecting the cold, sterile lights of the Batcave. "We must prepare for the return of Robin," the entity within Batman stated, its voice resonating with a chilling finality. "He must be transformed like we have been. When he returns, we are to act normally. Gotham must remain unaware of the coming change.

---

A week later, the familiar silhouette of Wayne Manor rose imposingly against the twilight sky as Robin, weary but content from his rigorous training abroad, finally returned. He was none the wiser, utterly oblivious to the insidious transformation that had occurred within its hallowed walls – an alien intelligence now residing in the bodies of both Batman and Alfred Pennyworth.

He let himself in, the grand foyer unnervingly quiet, echoing his footsteps on the polished marble floors. A subtle shiver of unease traced its way down his spine, but he quickly dismissed it, blaming the lingering effects of jet lag and the solitude of travel. Making his way toward the sprawling, scent-of-old-parchment-and-cedar-filled library, a beacon of familiarity and comfort, he found them. Bruce Wayne, seated in his favourite armchair, Alfred, standing respectfully a few paces behind him.

"Good to see you back, old chap," Bruce's voice resonated, a touch flatter than Robin remembered, though he couldn't quite place why. Their smiles, usually a beacon of warmth, seemed strangely fixed, a touch too wide, too even. Alfred's ever-present twinkle was absent, replaced by a disconcerting placidity in his eyes. Robin's brow furrowed, a faint alarm bell ringing somewhere in the back of his mind. Something was undeniably off, an almost imperceptible shift in the dynamic, a sterile precision in their movements. He attributed it to his own fatigue, perhaps a trick of the light, or merely the natural changes that occur in people over time. "How did your training go, my boy? I trust you found it... enlightening?" Bruce enquired, his gaze unnervingly steady.

"It was... intense, Bruce," Robin replied, trying to shake off the lingering sense of wrongness. "Learned a lot."

"Excellent. Go settle back in, unpack. Once you're ready, I will see you in the Batcave. There's much to discuss." The instruction, while seemingly normal, carried an underlying imperative that made Robin feel less like a returning son and more like an arriving subordinate.

About an hour later, refreshed by a quick shower and into his Robin costume but still wrestling with that nagging feeling of disquiet, Robin descended into the cool, cavernous depths of the Batcave. The familiar hum of advanced technology and the faint scent of ozone were comforting, yet the atmosphere felt taut, charged with an unspoken tension. Batman stood, a dark silhouette, hunched over the main computer console, his back to Robin. Alfred, a silent, imposing shadow, waited deeper into the Bat Cave out of sight.

Batman slowly turned, his movements unnervingly deliberate. His cowl perfectly concealed any revealing expression, but the way he held himself still seemed to be off to Robin. "There have been some changes while you have been away, Robin," he stated, his voice a low, resonant rumble that sent a shiver down Robin's spine. Before Robin could even formulate a question, before the full weight of Batman's chilling pronouncement could register, Alfred moved with astonishing speed. The aged butler, usually so precise and gentle, was suddenly upon him, a silent, crushing force. Robin gasped as Alfred's surprisingly powerful arms locked around him in an unyielding bear hug, pinning his arms uselessly to his sides, the air forced from his lungs.

Robin struggled, his own formidable training screaming at him to resist, but Alfred's grip was like steel. Then, Batman was there, his gauntleted hands moving with frightening purpose. He pressed his cold, hard palms against Robin's ears, effectively blocking out all sound, muffling Robin's frantic protests. A sickening lurch in Robin's skull, and then the sensation of something cold, slick, and utterly alien invading his mind. From each of Batman's palms, a thin, glossy, black rubber tentacle, no thicker than a pencil, extended, slithering expertly into Robin's ear canals. They probed, relentless and invasive, making their way directly to Robin's brain.

"Don't fight it, Robin," Batman's voice, devoid of all human warmth, resonated not through his ears but directly in his mind, "soon you will be joining us." A wave of overwhelming, crushing emptiness washed over Robin as the tendrils completed their task, consuming his very essence. His struggles weakened, a silent scream trapped in his throat as the last flicker of his own will extinguished, replaced by the encroaching, cold darkness of the alien entity.

Robin was placed into the vat of rubber. Robin, an hour later, he emerged, stood before Batman and Alfred, now a perfect, smaller mirror image of his mentor, his costume had changed from its normal colours, but now matched Batman’s, black glossy finish. He stood rigidly before them. His form, too, was encased in the seamless, light-absorbing obsidian latex, his once vibrant, youthful essence extinguished, replaced by the same terrifying void that now resided in Batman and Alfred’s eyes. His voice, stripped of its boyish exuberance, was a sterile, synthesized echo, a chilling third note in the emerging chorus of the new entity. “Connection has been made,” he intoned, the words devoid of inflection, a mere statement of fact.

Batman spoke, “You are now the third, you will follow my and Alfred's orders.”  

“The integration of key city structures is paramount,” the entity within Batman stated, its voice echoing in the now eerily silent Batcave. “Commissioner Gordon represents law enforcement. Chief O’Hara provides operational oversight. Their assimilation will ensure unchallenged control over the city’s defensive and reactive mechanisms.”

Robin, now wearing an all-black glossy suit, tilted his head infinitesimally. “How will we approach them without arousing suspicion?” His voice, a chilling replica of Batman’s, lacked the youthful curiosity it once possessed.

Alfred, stoic and unmoving, a dark sentinel beside them, offered no input, but his presence was a testament to the entity’s pervasive influence.

“A crisis simulation,” Batman replied, the words detached, analytic. “An urgent Bat-Signal, perhaps, followed by a direct, uncharacteristic summons to the Batcave. Commissioner Gordon is meticulous; he will investigate. Chief O’Hara, a loyal subordinate, will follow.”

The plan was executed with mechanical precision. Hours later, the iconic beam of the Bat-Signal pierced the Gotham night, its familiar emblem a beacon of false hope. Commissioner James Gordon, a man whose life had been a testament to duty and untiring vigilance, saw the signal. A weary sigh escaped him; another night, another crisis. He donned his trench coat, his mind already cataloging potential threats.

But before he could leave his office, the Bat-phone, usually reserved for dire emergencies, rang. He answered. The voice on the other end was unmistakably Batman’s, yet subtly different – flatter, colder, lacking the familiar gruffness. “Commissioner. A matter of utmost urgency. Direct access to the Batcave. Immediate.” The line went dead.

A flicker of unease gnawed at Gordon. Batman was always precise, but this was… curt. Still, the gravity in the tone was undeniable. He called O’Hara, informing him of the unusual summons, before heading to the pre-arranged, discreet rendezvous point.

He arrived at the hidden entrance to the Batcave, the secret rock face sliding open with a familiar hiss. The descent was quiet, the air thick with an unusual stillness. His boots echoed on the cold stone floor. As the enormous cavern came into view, Gordon’s eyes narrowed. Batman stood before the supercomputer, a silent, imposing figure. But something was off. The way he stood, the unnatural rigidity. And then Gordon saw Alfred, standing similarly, an exact mirror of Batman, and beside him, Robin. All three were sheathed in the same unnervingly sleek, light-absorbing material. Their eyes, though indistinct in the ambient light, seemed to absorb all luminescence.

“Batman?” Gordon’s voice was laced with caution. “What is this? What’s going on?”

The entity within Batman turned slowly, its black eyes fixing on Gordon. “Commissioner Gordon. You are to be integrated.”

Before Gordon could even process the words, a blur of movement. Alfred, with a speed and strength utterly alien to his age, was upon him. The Commissioner, a seasoned street fighter in his youth, found himself caught in a grip that rendered his struggles futile. His arm was twisted behind his back, a silent, efficient maneuver. Then, the cold, seamless latex of Batman’s hand pressed against his ear.

A sharp, intrusive sensation. Gordon gasped, a silent scream trapped in his throat as the thin, rubbery tendril snaked its way into his ear canal. He tried to fight, but already his limbs felt heavy, his thoughts sluggish. The world blurred, consciousness fading as the alien entity made its inexorable journey towards his brain.

“Do not resist, Commissioner,” Batman’s voice resonated, devoid of malice, yet terrifying in its clinical detachment. “It is for the benefit of Gotham.”

Gordon’s eyes fluttered, then glazed over. His body went limp, a sudden, complete cessation of struggle. He was no longer there.

He was gently guided towards the churning vat of black liquid latex. The process was identical, chillingly familiar. The dark fluid enveloped him, erasing the last vestiges of the man he was, preparing the vessel for its new occupant. An hour later, Gordon emerged. Like the others, he was now a silent, glistening figure, his familiar trench coat replaced by the seamless, jet black sheath. His form was that of James Gordon, but his essence was gone, replaced by the same terrifying void.

“Connection has been made,” the new Commissioner intoned, his voice an echo of the others, flat and controlled.

“Excellent,” Batman stated. “Now, Chief O’Hara.”

The process for Chief Miles O’Hara was even swifter. A call from the transformed Gordon, requesting his immediate presence at a remote, secure location for a “highly classified briefing.” O’Hara, loyal to his Commissioner and to Gotham, arrived without question. He found Gordon, standing beside Batman, Alfred, and Robin – an unsettling tableau of silent, dark figures. His initial confusion quickly turned to alarm as he registered the strange, altered appearance of his superior and Gotham’s protectors.

Before he could voice a single query, he too was subdued by Robin. The same cold, efficient takeover. The same black tendril, from Batman, the same vat, the same chilling transformation. Miles O’Hara, once a gruff, dedicated police chief, emerged an hour later, a perfect, unfeeling replica.

“Connection has been made,” he announced, his voice joining the rest of the converted men.

Five figures now stood in the heart of the Batcave, silent, gleaming beacons of an alien will. Batman, Alfred, Robin, Commissioner Gordon, Chief O’Hara. The air in the cavern thrummed with a new, eerie energy. The entity, now amplified by its growing network, surveyed its work.

“The core structures are now integrated,” Batman, the primary source, stated, his voice resonating with an almost imperceptible hum of satisfaction. “Turning to both Commissioner Gordon, Chief O’Hara, you will arrange for all police officers to join us, be enhanced and transformed like we have been, do this station by station; that way, Law enforcement is secured. Meanwhile, Alfred, Robin and Myself will start the production of more vats and produce more transformative liquid.

Batman went on to say. the next phase will be the broader populace. Gotham does not yet understand the efficiency that awaits it. We will begin with the city’s infrastructure. The power grid. The communication networks. The transportation systems. Every cog in this city’s chaotic machinery will be brought into perfect alignment.”

The black eyes of the five mirrored figures reflected the cold, sterile lights of the Batcave. The transformation of Gotham had only just begun.

The production of the sleek, reinforced glass cylinders, designed to withstand immense internal pressure and facilitate an as-yet-unrevealed process, soon got underway across various covert facilities. Under the precise supervision of Bruce Wayne.

 Meanwhile, deep within the heart of the Batcave, the production of the highly viscous liquid latex kept pace, the process overseen by Alfred. its volume growing exponentially by the hour within massive, insulated vats that pulsed faintly with alien light.

At the central Gotham City Police Academy, a grim transformation was taking place. Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’Hara, their faces resolve, personally supervised the installation of the towering glass cylinders in the main gymnasium, which had been cleared and reinforced for the purpose. Forklifts carefully maneuverer the gleaming, empty vessels into precise, gridded formations, each one connected to a complex network of tubes and control panels that radiated from a central console. The room, once a space for physical exertion and camaraderie, now resembled a bizarre, high-tech chrysalis chamber.

With the first phase of installation complete, Gordon’s voice, carried the weight of command as he issued the unprecedented order. "First batch of officers to report for new training. A group of veterans and fresh-faced recruits walked in with a quiet tension, some visibly nervous but all united by a deep, if perhaps misguided, trust in their superiors and the enigmatic figure of the Batman.

A short time later, a soft hiss of released pressure echoed through the chamber as the first glass cylinder’s door unlocked. A converted Police Officer, their uniforms now changed into a glossy copy of their previous uniforms, stepped out. Their eyes, once perhaps filled with anxiety or uncertainty, now held an unnerving clarity, a calm, unwavering focus. And as they moved, with a newfound, almost mechanical precision, they spoke. Their voices, though their own, carried a new resolute quality, a shared mantra that was immediately repeated by the next officer, and the next, as they emerged from their respective cylinders. Each and every one of them announced in a low, definitive tone: "Connection has been made." Gordon exchanged a silent look with O'Hara. “First contingent complete”, Gordon said, “I will report back to Batman, arrange for the next batch”.

Ever since the gym had changed owners, you thought that something strange was happening with your buddies. They all started to behave differently. Working out more, getting more and more cocky, dressing differently and eventually smoking cigars.

The same was happening to you, but you didn't realize it. That was until you saw yourself flexing in front of the mirror after accepting a cigar from one of you buddies bros.

At that moment you understood: It was how it was supposed to be.

Coach’s New Team

Ethan Rivers was used to being invisible.

He wasn’t unpopular exactly, just… unnoticed. A solid B-student with a knack for computers and a love of science fiction. His best friend, Jeremy Lowell, was the same. Quiet, clever, skinny. The two of them were practically fused at the hip since sixth grade — D&D campaigns, overnight coding binges, shared lunches behind the science wing.

They had one rule: stay out of the spotlight. At Lakewood High, that meant staying away from the jocks.

The football team ruled the halls with protein-shake-fueled testosterone and body odor. The smell of sweat and Axe clung to them like a second skin. They wore their jerseys every day, even in classes. Flexing constantly. Laughing too loud. Picking fights. And yet… they were multiplying.

That’s what first caught Ethan’s attention.

By October, the football team had exploded. Twenty-five players turned into nearly fifty, and many of them were faces Ethan recognized — but not from the field. They were the quiet kids. Smart ones. Weird ones. Honor students.

Now? They were all… different.

Big. Loud. Flexing constantly. Speaking in monosyllables like cavemen. “Bro” in every sentence. And they had that same glassy-eyed look — that same stupid grin.

“Something’s wrong,” Ethan whispered to Jeremy one afternoon in the library. “Liam Brody? He used to be in the math club with you. Now he’s wearing cleats and grunting during AP Calc.”

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. “I thought it was just me.”

“And Kyle? He was in chess club. Now he’s got biceps like a cartoon character.”

Jeremy leaned in. “There’s a pattern. You notice how all the new jocks were smart kids before?”

Ethan nodded. “Like someone’s… recruiting them.”

“Or changing them.”

That last line hung heavy in the air.

They tried to investigate. It felt stupid at first — like some kind of conspiracy LARP — but the more they looked, the more terrifying it became.

The pattern was real. Every week, one or two nerdy kids would stop showing up to clubs. They’d vanish for a day or two. Then they’d come back bigger, buffer, and a lot dumber. Jockified. Always hanging out by the gym. Talking about “Coach’s new training program.”

Ethan found the transformation photos online.

Old yearbook pictures, class photos. The before and afters were insane. Gaunt, pale, awkward teens turned into bronzed, grinning jocks. Same eyes — but vacant. Always smiling. Always flexing.

Then, on a Thursday morning, Jeremy didn’t show up.

No warning. No texts. No messages.

By the second day, Ethan was spiraling. He asked teachers, classmates, even the front office. “Family emergency,” they said. “Coach Reynolds is checking in on him.” But nobody would say more.

By Friday, Ethan knew something was very wrong.

He snuck into the gym after practice. The place reeked of sweat, protein powder, and something deeper — something feral. The lights buzzed overhead, flickering faintly.

The locker room door was slightly ajar.

Inside, red metal lockers lined the walls like silent sentries. The air was thick and warm. And there, dead center, was Jeremy.

Only it wasn’t Jeremy anymore.

He sat on a bench like a king on his throne. Number 23 stretched across his bulging chest. His thick thighs poured out of tight black pants, calves wrapped in red socks. The cleats were spotless. His arms rested lazily over his knees, massive biceps glistening. He grinned when he saw Ethan.

“Broooo! Yo! Ethan! What’s up, my fuckin’ guy!”

Ethan blinked. His mouth opened, but nothing came out. The voice wasn’t right — deeper, lazier, dumber. And Jeremy’s eyes… they were all wrong. Blue, but empty.

“What… what happened to you?” Ethan whispered.

Jeremy laughed and flexed. “Coach fixed me, bro. Fuckin’ best feelin’ in the world. I used to think too much, bro. Now I lift. I flex. I get so fuckin’ horny, bro.”

“You’re not making sense—”

Jeremy stood. His huge body loomed over Ethan. The scent of sweat and testosterone washed over him like a wave.

“I don’t gotta make sense, bro. I just gotta obey. Coach plays the files — real deep stuff, bro. Gets in your head, loosens all that dumb nerd shit. Makes you wanna grow, wanna serve. I fuckin’ love bein’ Coach’s boy, bro.”

Ethan backed up. “No. You’re not Jeremy. You’re not—”

But two more figures stepped into the locker room.

Liam and Marco.

Both shirtless, pumped beyond reason. Their skin gleamed with sweat. They moved like bouncers — slow, heavy, confident.

“Where you goin’, bro?” Liam grinned. “Can’t leave now.”

“Coach said you were next, bro,” Marco added.

Jeremy grabbed Ethan’s wrist. “You’re gonna love it, bro. Coach wants every nerd fixed, bro. You’re gonna get so dumb, so jock’d, dude. Just gotta hear the files.”

Ethan screamed.

They strapped Ethan to a bench in the trainer’s room. He fought, but it was useless. They were too strong. Too happy.

The headphones came down.

“Welcome, recruit. This is your first induction. You don’t need to think. Thinking is pain. Muscles are power. Obey. Flex. Serve Coach.”

The words were a whisper at first.

Then they were everything.

Ethan’s vision blurred. His limbs felt heavy. His thoughts… slow. Images flashed behind his eyes — jocks flexing, grinning, humping the air, kneeling before a massive figure in a red cap.

“Coach is god. Coach is alpha. You will obey.”

He moaned.

“You used to be weak. Now you’re strong. Used to think. Now you obey.”

Sweat beaded down his temples.

His spine arched. His muscles swelled, screamed. Something changed in his brain. A mental firewall crumbled. All that fear, resistance — replaced with need.

Need to serve. Need to grow. Need to be a jock.

When the files stopped, Ethan stood slowly.

The reflection in the mirror was unreal. Towering. Bulky. Glossy red jersey hugging his swollen pecs. Abs bulging. Arms like steel beams. Thighs bursting through black compression pants.

He grinned stupidly.

“Bro…”

Jeremy clapped his back.

“Knew you’d love it, bro. You look fuckin’ alpha.”

“Dude, I feel so jock’d up. So fuckin’ horny, bro.”

Coach Reynolds walked in, silent and commanding. The room went still. Every jock turned and knelt.

Ethan knelt too. Grinning. Sweating. Heart pounding.

“Coach,” he moaned. “I’m ready to serve, bro.”

Coach smiled.

“Good boy.”

Missed my feet? I knew you would be back. After all that complaining about me being toxic and self obsessed, I knew you wouldn’t be able to deny my feet. Just like everyone else. Because once you get a whiff, they worm their way into your mind. It’s like a bad habit, an addiction you can’t quit. You sit there and confidently insist you won’t give someone like me any more attention, but if I snap my fingers you’ll crumple to the floor like a loose sock.

I can wax about how smelly and sweaty my big meaty soles are, how they’ll melt your mind. Turn you into a foot huffing gooner pig. And you’ll unconsciously lick your lips. Because deep down you want my feet to own you, for my juicy toes to destroy your sense of self. You know I’m the type of guy you should hate, that I oppose your grandstanding ideals. Know that you used to hate feet and know that my foot musk has altered your brain. IS altering your brain, rotting away your critical thinking. Turning it to mush. If you can just stay away, you can continue your normal life and boring job. But here you are, and here are my fucking feet. And it’s about time you took your place under them, you pathetic foot licker. Because you love obnoxious fuckboys and toxic chavs. You love being used and degraded . You love foul feet and intense musk. And you just LOVE listening and believing whatever I tell your empty little head.

So, join my collection of dumb foot worshippers. Become a degraded goon addict. Smiling like a dunce as my stench marks your dopey, slackened face. Sniff and let the stench destroy any ounce of resistance. Accept your new toxic Master. Suck my fat fucking toes and thank me for making you a stupid fucking foot slave.

I’m gonna snap my fingers and you’re gonna sniff, lick and destroy your weak self-worth in an instant. Ready, foot slave?

The Bulldawg Strength

In a quiet suburban neighborhood, a young man named Jake stepped off the bus and onto the cracked sidewalk leading to his childhood home. The sun hovered above the horizon, casting a warm glow that bathed the houses in a soft, orange light. His backpack, filled with college textbooks, hung heavily on his shoulders as he took a deep breath and trudged up the walkway. It had been six months since he had last seen his family, and the anticipation of their reunion grew with every step he took.

But the call from his younger brother, Tim, had planted a seed of unease in the pit of his stomach. Tim's voice had been tinged with something Jake couldn't quite place—fear, perhaps?—as he spoke of their father's dramatic transformation since joining a new gym, the Bulldawg Strength. Tim had said their dad was more muscular than ever, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling enthusiasm that seemed almost otherworldly. The once gentle and slightly overweight man was now a towering, chiseled figure, his skin stretched taut over bulging biceps. The mere thought of it made Jake's stomach turn.

As they talked on the phone, Tim had described the bizarre attire their father now donned daily—black and shiny compression gear that clung to his new form like a second skin, a military-style cap that sat proudly atop his shaved head, and a pair of boots that clicked ominously on the linoleum floor. The gear looked almost like rubber, Tim had said, and it was adorned with strange symbols that neither of them recognized. It was as if their father had been absorbed into some sort of extreme fitness cult, and the more Tim spoke, the more Jake felt his excitement to be home giving way to dread.

"What's going on with Dad?" Jake had asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

"I don't know, man," Tim replied, his voice barely a whisper. "It's like he's in some kind of midlife crisis on steroids. Ever since he started going to that Bulldawg gym, he's been... different. More aggressive. He's always pushing me to go with him, saying it'll make me into a 'real man'."

Jake could hear the painful sarcasm in Tim's words, and his own concern grew. "I'll talk to him," he assured his brother. "I'm coming home this weekend, anyway. Maybe I can get him to snap out of it."

"Please, Jake," Tim's voice pleaded. "It's like he's not even Dad anymore. It's scary."

Jake's hand tightened around his phone, his heart racing. "Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Just hold on, okay?"

Tim's relieved sigh washed over the line. "Thanks, Jake. I'm counting on you."

The house loomed before Jake, its once welcoming facade now seemingly hostile. The once lush lawn was now a sea of cracked earth and dead grass, the only living things a few straggly weeds poking through. The door was ajar, and the silence that greeted him was unnerving. He cautiously stepped inside, his sneakers echoing in the empty hallway. The furniture remained unchanged, but there was a faint chemical smell in the air—like the scent of a new rubber gym floor.

The living room had been transformed into a makeshift gym. Weights clanked in the corner where the TV used to stand, and a treadmill hummed quietly in the place of the old armchair. The walls were plastered with posters of bulging men, flexing and snarling, all adorned in the same black, skintight gear his father now wore. The sight of his brother's favorite comic books scattered haphazardly on the floor, pages torn and crumpled, sent a chill down his spine.

Jake ventured into the kitchen, his stomach rumbling. The once warm, inviting room now felt cold and sterile. The fridge was stocked with protein shakes—enough for an entire football team. The countertops were cluttered with Tupperware containers filled with what looked like lumpy brown rice and unidentifiable meats. The pantry held only protein bars and supplements. He reached for one of the shakes, the label proclaiming it a 'Bulldawg Strength Special Formula'. Twisting off the cap, he took a tentative sniff. The smell was bizarrely familiar, yet alien. It was a musky, salty aroma, with a faint hint of sweet vanilla. It reminded him uncomfortably of his first fumbling sexual experiences, but with a metallic edge that made his nostrils flare. He put the bottle down hastily.

He heard a door slam from the back of the house, followed by the thunderous stomping of heavy boots. His heart skipped a beat. He knew that sound—it was his father, and he was on his way in. The footsteps grew louder, the floor shaking slightly with every step. Jake braced himself, trying to ignore the tightening in his chest.

As he turned to face the entrance, the sight that greeted him was nothing short of surreal. His father, now a monolith of muscle in the black, gleaming gear, filled the doorway. The cap cast a shadow over his eyes, but Jake could see the same strange glow he'd seen in the photos. The man's jaw was square and rigid, his shoulders broader than any human's should be, and the veins in his arms pulsed like rivers of wrath.

But what truly took his breath away was Tim. His younger brother, who had once been a lanky teenager, now looked like a miniature version of their transformed father. Tim's eyes were vacant, his smile forced, and his body was a disturbing caricature of the athletic ideal. The same black gear clung to him, stretched tightly over his newfound muscles. The boots, now a smaller size, echoed the same ominous beat as their father's.

"Welcome home, son," their father's deep, altered voice boomed.

Jake's eyes darted between his father and brother, the reality of their transformation hitting him like a ton of bricks. "Dad? Tim?" he managed to croak out, his voice shaking.

"Jake, you're just in time!" Tim's voice was eerily cheerful, a stark contrast to the fear he had heard in their phone call. "Dad's been waiting to introduce you to the Bulldawg family!"

Jake took a step back, his eyes wide. "Tim, what happened to you?" The words barely left his mouth before Tim's expression morphed from forced cheer to one of absolute confidence.

"I've become stronger, Jake. So much stronger!" Tim flexed his arms, the same arms that had once been so bony they could barely hold a dumbbell. "Since I started the Bulldawg program, I've put on thirty pounds of pure muscle. Dad says I'm on the right track to becoming a man!"

Jake's confusion deepened as he stared at Tim, who continued his monologue with fervent enthusiasm. "You wouldn't believe the gains, Jake. The workouts are intense, but it's all worth it. And this gear," Tim ran his hands over his sleek, black attire, "it's like a second skin. It makes me feel... invincible." His eyes shone with a disturbing mix of admiration and fanaticism.

Their father stepped closer, his massive frame casting a shadow over Jake. "Tim's been an excellent pupil, hasn't he?" His voice was deeper than Jake remembered, a rumble that seemed to resonate through the very bones of the house. "The Bulldawg Strength program doesn't just change your body—it changes your soul, makes you understand what it truly means to be a man."

Jake looked from Tim to his father, the fear in his stomach coiling tighter. "But, Tim, you called me. You said you were scared—"

Tim's forced smile slipped, and for a brief moment, a flicker of something desperate sparked in his eyes. "Oh, that? I was just being dumb. I didn't understand the power of the Bulldawg brotherhood. Dad's muscles, they're not just for show. They're a sign of his strength, his dominance. And now, I get to be like him." He flexed his arms again, the fabric of his black compression sleeves straining against his bulging biceps.

"Since I started wearing the Bulldawg gear," Tim said, his voice rising in excitement, "I've felt a surge of energy, like I could take on the world! And the workouts, man, they're tough, but oh so worth it. Every time I look in the mirror, I see a new me. A stronger me." His eyes glazed over as he recounted the endless hours of lifting, pushing, and pulling. The transformation was more than physical; it was as if Tim had been reprogrammed.

Jake's mind raced as he tried to make sense of it all. "But what about school, Tim? What about your friends?"

Tim waved his concerns away with a beefy hand. "School's fine, and my friends... well, they're all at the gym now. Bulldawg is the new sponsor of our football team, so we all had to join. Coach said it would help us win games, make us tougher." His voice took on an edge of pride. "And boy, did it work! We're unstoppable. We're the Bulldawgs now, and nobody messes with us."

Jake's eyes narrowed. "So, you're telling me that the entire football team is... like this?"

Tim nodded vigorously. "Yeah, and it's amazing, Jake! I mean, at first, I had my doubts, too. The gear felt weird, and the other guys at the gym looked like they could crush me. But after the first week, I started noticing changes. I could lift weights that used to be impossible for me, and I didn't get tired as quickly. And the supplements," he grinned, "they're like rocket fuel for your muscles!"

Their father's booming voice called out from the kitchen, "Tim, it's time for the protein shakes!"

Tim's eyes snapped to attention, the vacant expression replaced with an obedient nod. He dashed to the fridge, his muscles rippling with every movement. He pulled out two of the oversized bottles and handed one to their father, who took it without a word and began to chug it down. The sound of liquid sloshing and the metallic clank of the cap hitting the counter was the only noise in the room for several moments.

Their father wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his gaze never leaving Jake. "You're going to love the changes, son," he said, his voice still deep and unnaturally powerful. "We've got a place for you at the gym, too. You're just what they're looking for. You've got the potential to be the strongest of us all."

On the kitchen counter, a single piece of paper caught the light—a Bulldawg Strength trial pass. It was laid out with deliberate precision, as if waiting for the moment Jake would set eyes on it. The logo was stamped in gold, the letters embossed with an unsettling forcefulness that seemed to beckon him. The paper was thick, almost card-like, and the edges were serrated, as if torn from something greater. Jake's gaze was drawn to it like a moth to a flame, his thoughts racing.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flicking from the pass to his father's massive figure. "No," he said firmly, the word resonating through the room. "I'm not interested in joining whatever this... this cult is."

His father's smile didn't waver. "It's not a cult, Jake. It's a brotherhood. A family." He took another swig of the protein shake, his muscles bulging with every swallow. "But if you're not ready, that's okay. We'll give you some time to think it over."

Tim's expression was a mirror of their father's, an unsettling blend of excitement and something darker. "Yeah, Jake. Take your time. But remember, we're all waiting for you to join us. Your turn is coming."

Jake felt the weight of their words pressing down on him as he retreated to his room, the door clicking shut behind him. The room was unchanged, a time capsule of his high school days. The posters of rock bands and science fiction movies were a stark contrast to the stark reality outside. He slumped onto his bed, the mattress groaning beneath his weight. His thoughts spun in a tornado of confusion and fear.

He pulled out his phone, dialing his best friend, Mike. He needed someone to ground him, to reassure him that what he was seeing wasn't real. Mike answered on the first ring, his voice a welcome slice of normalcy in the madness. Jake recounted the events of the evening, his words tumbling out in a frantic rush.

"Dude, that's messed up," Mike said after a moment of stunned silence. "But, you know what? Things have been weird around town, too. Ever since that gym opened, people have been acting... different."

Jake's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

Mike's voice grew serious. "It's like everyone's obsessed with the gym. They're everywhere—those guys in black uniforms, flexing and strutting around like they own the place. And they're all so... intense. Like, they've got this weird vibe, you know?

Jake nodded, even though Mike couldn't see him. "Yeah, Tim said something about a 'Bulldawg brotherhood'. It's all he talks about."

"Bro, you've gotta get out of there," Mike urged, his voice tight with tension. "Come meet me at the diner tomorrow. We'll grab some food, and you can tell me everything. Maybe we can figure this out together."

Jake nodded, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. "Okay, yeah. That's a good idea. I'll be there at noon." He ended the call and leaned back against the cool wall, his mind racing. He glanced around the room, his eyes landing on the framed photo of him, Tim, and their dad at the beach. They were all smiling, their bodies a testament to their love for ice cream and weekend Netflix binges. The sight of his brother's lean frame in the picture was a stark contrast to the muscle-bound shell that now walked the halls of their home.

The next morning, Jake woke to the sound of his alarm, his mind still racing with thoughts of Bulldawg Strength. He stumbled into the kitchen, hoping to find some semblance of the familiar in the form of a bowl of cereal. The sight that greeted him, however, was anything but comforting. On the kitchen table, right in the center, was the trial pass, a stark reminder of the night before. Next to it, a protein shake sat, the condensation beading on the outside of the bottle. The label was printed with his name in bold, block letters.

Ignoring the gym pass and the shake, Jake made his way to the fridge. It was barely 8 AM, but the idea of facing another day in this nightmarish reality was already draining him. He pulled out a carton of milk, his hand shaking slightly as he poured it into a bowl. The cereal box was nowhere to be found. Only a sea of protein shakes and Tupperware containers of lifeless, brown food stared back at him. The kitchen clock ticked away, a silent metronome to his rising dread. He had to get out of here, if only for a few hours.

The diner was a short walk away, and the cool air outside was a welcome reprieve from the stifling tension in the house. The streets were unusually quiet for a Saturday morning, the only sounds the distant clanging of weights and the occasional grunt from a passing Bulldawg devotee. Jake quickened his pace, the crunch of gravel underfoot the only comforting noise in the eerie silence.

When he stepped into the diner, the smell of greasy breakfast food wrapped around him like a warm blanket. Mike was already there, nursing a cup of coffee, his eyes dark with concern. They exchanged a tense nod as Jake slid into the booth across from him.

"You okay?" Mike asked, his voice low.

Jake took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm the racing of his heart. "No, not really," he admitted. "It's like they're not even the same people anymore."

Mike leaned in, his expression a mix of shock and concern. "What happened, man? Did you talk to them about it?"

Jake's eyes darted around the diner, making sure they weren't being overheard. "Yeah, I tried. They're so... intense. And happy about it all, it's weird." He took a sip of his coffee, the bitter taste doing little to alleviate the metallic taste lingering in his mouth from the previous night. "Tim's changed so much. It's like he's not even scared anymore, just... eager to become one of them."

Mike leaned closer, his eyes wide. "You don't think it's some kind of mind control, do you?"

Before Jake could respond, the bell above the diner door chimed, and the sound of booted footsteps echoed through the room. A figure emerged from the kitchen, a tray of food balanced on one hand. The waiter was a young man, his skin stretched tight over bulging muscles that seemed almost comically large for his frame. He wore the same black Bulldawg Strength gear that Jake had seen plastered over the walls of his house. The sight of the logo made Jake's stomach churn.

"You guys okay over here?" the waiter asked, his voice too cheerful for the early hour. His eyes were bright, almost feverish, and there was an unsettling eagerness to his smile.

Mike nodded tersely. "Yeah, we're just catching up."

The waiter's smile grew wider, his teeth unnaturally straight and gleaming. "Great! Bulldawg bonding time, right?"

Jake forced a chuckle, trying to play along. "Something like that."

The waiter's smile didn't waver as he set down their plates of food—massive portions of eggs and protein-laden meats, not a carb in sight. "Well, you know where to find us if you're ever looking to join the pack." With a wink, he sauntered off to attend to the other patrons, his muscles flexing with every step.

Jake pushed his food around, his appetite gone. "I can't take much more of this," he whispered to Mike. "I need to get out of here."

Mike nodded solemnly, understanding in his eyes. "Come on, let's go to my place."

They left the diner quickly, the jovial chatter of the other patrons a stark contrast to the tension that hung between them. The walk to Mike's house was brisk, the air cooler now that the sun had risen higher in the sky. The neighborhood looked the same, but the underlying sense of unease was palpable. Every few houses had a Bulldawg Strength poster in the window, and men in black gear could be seen through some of the open garage doors, lifting weights and shouting words of encouragement that echoed through the quiet streets.

When they arrived, Mike's house looked as if it had been untouched by the strange phenomenon. The door was unlocked, and the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. The TV in the living room was on, the sound of a video game's explosive soundtrack spilling into the hallway. But as they approached, the music changed to something eerie—a low, rhythmic chanting that grew louder with each step.

They paused at the doorway, peering in. There, sitting on the floor, were Tim and Mike's younger brother, Joey, both in Bulldawg Strength uniforms. The black, skin-tight gear made their muscles bulge in a way that seemed unnatural for their age. They were engrossed in a game on the TV, their eyes glazed over with the same unsettling enthusiasm Jake had seen in his father's.

The laughter grew clearer as the screen showed a virtual battlefield, with men in the same uniforms mowing down unseen enemies. The game was called Bulldawg Unit, and the graphics were disturbingly realistic. Jake felt his heart drop into his stomach.

"Hey, guys!" Joey looked up from the game, his eyes lighting up with an enthusiasm that didn't quite reach the corners of his eyes. He was built like a miniature version of Tim and their father, the same black gear clinging to his newfound muscles. The sight of his friend's younger brother, once a shy and slightly chubby gamer, now a hypermasculine soldier, sent a cold shiver down Jake's spine.

"You're just in time for some Bulldawg bonding!" Tim said, his voice booming with forced cheer. He punched a button on the controller, and two more figures dressed in the same black uniform appeared on the screen, their digital muscles bulging as they sprinted towards the fray. "You can play as a unit with us! It's so much better than playing alone."

Mike's eyes lit up, his love for video games overriding his earlier concern. "Cool! I've always been a fan of co-op games." He took the controller Joey offered, and within moments, he was absorbed in the pixelated battlefield. The three of them, side by side, mowed down enemy after enemy, their virtual muscles flexing with every victory.

Jake, however, couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The game's graphics were too realistic, the sounds of gunfire and explosions too intense. And the way Tim and Joey's faces lit up with every kill—it was like they were reliving something from their new lives at Bulldawg Strength. The room felt suffocating, the air thick with the scent of sweat and testosterone.

He cleared his throat, trying to get Mike's attention. "Thanks for the hang, man. I think I'm gonna head home."

Mike didn't even look up from the TV, his thumbs flying over the controller with a ferocity that seemed to mirror the scene playing out on the screen. The digital figures on the battlefield moved in unison, a well-oiled machine of destruction. "Yeah, sure, Jake," he mumbled distractedly. "See you tomorrow."

Jake took a step back, watching his friend disappear into the game, his mind racing with the implications of what he'd just witnessed. Was this what the Bulldawg Strength did to people? Turned them into mindless drones, obsessed with violence and power? He had to get to the bottom of it before it was too late.

The next day, Jake found himself standing in front of Mike's house, his hand hovering over the doorbell. He took a deep breath and pressed it, his heart hammering in his chest. The door swung open, and there was Mike, his eyes gleaming with the same unnatural light that had filled his father's and brother's. He was clad in the same black compression gear, a half-empty protein shake in his hand.

"Hey, Bro," Mike said, his voice unnaturally deep and powerful. "You're just in time for a little pre-game pump." He gestured to the shake in his hand. "It's the Bulldawg way to start the day."

Jake's eyes narrowed, his fear morphing into anger. "What the hell have they done to you?" he demanded, his voice low and tense.

Mike's smile grew, if anything, even more forced. "They haven't done anything to me, Jake. I've become a better version of myself, just like your dad and Tim. Stronger, more focused. A real man." He took a swig of the shake, the muscles in his neck bulging with the effort. "You should see the gains you get from the Bulldawg program. It's like nothing you've ever seen before."

Jake stepped into the house, his eyes scanning the room. It was a mirror image of his own home, the living room now a shrine to the Bulldawg Strength program. The walls were adorned with posters of bulging men in black and gold, flexing their impossible muscles. The furniture was gone, replaced by a sea of weight benches and dumbbells. The TV had been pushed into the corner, the game controllers scattered around it like forgotten toys.

Mike began to speak, his voice taking on the same fervent tone that Tim had used the night before. "Jake, you wouldn't believe what happened yesterday," he said, his eyes shining with a manic light. "After we played Bulldawg Unit, they took me to the gym. The place is like nothing you've ever seen—like a fortress, a temple to strength and power. And the gear, oh man, the gear." He gestured to the black uniform he wore, his muscles rippling like something out of a comic book. "It's like it's part of you, like it's feeding you power from some other world."

Jake's eyes narrowed as he took in the scene before him. The house was now a bastion of the Bulldawg regime, and Mike was fully indoctrinated. "What do you mean, 'induction'?"

Mike's smile grew even wider, if that was possible. "You know, the initiation. The thing that makes you one of us." He took another long pull from the shake, his eyes never leaving Jake's. "You've got to drink the Bulldawg brew, man. It's got a special ingredient that takes your strength to the next level."

Jake's stomach churned. "What kind of ingredient?"

Mike leaned in closer, a smug smile playing on his lips. "You really don't know?" He chuckled, his voice deeper than it had ever been. "It's the essence of the Bulldawgs, man. The secret to our power." He tapped his chest, the fabric of his shirt straining against the unyielding muscles beneath. "It's the seed of our strength, our vitality. The brew is made with...let's just say, a very unique protein source."

Jake's hand clenched into a fist at his side. "I don't want to know," he said firmly, taking a step back. "And I'm definitely not drinking it."

Mike's smile didn't waver. "Come on, Jake. Don't you want to be part of something great? To be strong, to be feared?"

Jake's mind was made up. He had to get out of here before it was too late. He forced a smile and nodded. "Yeah, sure. Maybe I'll check it out." He didn't want to arouse suspicion, not yet. "But for now, I need to get home."

As he made his way back to his house, the once-familiar streets seemed to close in on him, the air thick with the scent of sweat and desperation. The Bulldawg Strength gym loomed in the distance, a stark reminder of the transformation that had swept through his town. The black logo shimmered in the sunlight, a beacon of a twisted ideal that had claimed his family and friends.

Jake walked through the front door, the echo of his footsteps bouncing off the walls of the empty house. The silence was deafening, the only evidence of his family's existence the discarded protein shake containers and sweat-soaked towels scattered around the living room. He couldn't stay here anymore, not with the constant pressure to conform to this nightmarish version of masculinity that seemed to be consuming everyone he knew.

He made his way to his room, his eyes lingering on the framed photos of happier times. With a heavy heart, he packed a bag with a few essentials—his laptop, some clean clothes, and a couple of pictures. He had to get out of this city, find somewhere that still felt like home. He paused at the doorway, glancing back at the room that had been his sanctuary for so long. It now felt like a prison cell, the walls closing in around him.

Jake took one last look around the house before leaving, the emptiness of it echoing his own feelings of isolation. The gym was his last stop, the place where he would say goodbye to his father and brother—his new life's final bridge to burn.

As he approached the Bulldawg Strength compound, the imposing structure grew larger, its black and gold facade gleaming in the midday sun. The parking lot was packed with pickup trucks, their bumpers adorned with stickers that read "Bulldawg Brotherhood" and "Stronger Together." The building's windows were tinted, but Jake could make out the shadowy figures inside, lifting weights in perfect synchronization, their grunts and shouts a symphony of aggression and camaraderie.

The gym's doors swung open with a hiss, and the smell of sweat and testosterone hit him like a wall. Inside, the air was thick with the sound of clanging metal and the rhythmic thumping of heavy bass from the speakers. The walls were lined with mirrors, reflecting an endless sea of bulging muscles and vacant eyes. The men inside barely registered his presence, their focus solely on their own reflections.

Jake approached the front desk, the music's pulse echoing in his ears. The desk clerk looked up, his eyes narrowing as he took in Jake's non-Bulldawg attire. "You're here for the induction," he said, his voice a low rumble that matched the bassline. It wasn't a question.

The clerk slammed a hand down on the counter, and the music's volume dropped just enough for Jake to hear the words. "You know the rules. No outsiders beyond this point. Not until you're one of us."

Jake swallowed hard, his eyes darting around the room. The clerk's gaze bore into him, and he felt his resolve waver. But the thought of his father and brother, lost in this madness, gave him the strength to nod. "Alright," he murmured. "I'll do it."

The clerk's smile grew, revealing teeth that were somehow too perfect. He picked up a clipboard and scanned it. "Great," he boomed, the music rising again to swallow Jake's words. "You're in for the full experience today. You'll be seeing the head coach, the Alpha Bulldawg himself."

Jake's heart hammered in his chest as he was led down a dimly lit hallway, the walls lined with posters of men contorted into impossible poses, their muscles bulging with a preternatural power. The floor vibrated with the thunderous bass of the gym's sound system, each step feeling like a descent into madness. They stopped in front of a door marked 'Induction Chamber'.

The clerk's smile remained unnervingly wide as he pushed the door open, revealing a small, windowless room. "Go ahead," he instructed, his voice now a low rumble that seemed to resonate through the very walls. "The Alpha Bulldawg will be with you shortly."

Jake stepped into the chamber, the door slamming shut behind him. The room was dimly lit, the only source of illumination a flickering TV in the corner. The walls were painted black, the floor a cold cement slab that sent a shiver up his spine. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and something else, something metallic and bitter. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself.

On the TV screen, an image of the Bulldawg logo grew larger, the black and gold swirling together like a tornado. The background noise of the gym faded away, replaced by a rhythmic, pulsing beat that grew louder with each passing second. Jake's eyes were drawn to the screen, the spiraling design of the logo hypnotizing him, pulling him into a trance. His heart rate slowed, his breathing grew shallow.

The video transitioned to a montage of men undergoing the transformation—their bodies contorting, muscles bulging as they were bathed in a golden light. The chant grew clearer, the words now distinguishable: "Stronger, faster, better—together we rise." The images grew more intense, the men in the video now a blur of power and ferocity. Jake felt his own body tingle with the promise of power, his mind racing with thoughts of the strength that could be his.

The screen flickered, and the Bulldawg Alpha appeared, his form massive and menacing. His eyes bore into Jake's soul as he recited the creed of the Bulldawg Brotherhood. "You shall cast aside your old life, your weakness, and embrace the true power within," the Alpha's deep, resonant voice boomed, the sound filling the room. "You shall be reborn in the image of the Bulldawg, a creature of unbridled strength and dominance."

Jake nodded, his mind a whirlwind of fear and fascination. The Alpha leaned closer, his breath hot and heavy. "Are you ready to take the first step?"

"Yeeeessss," Jake says drooling, his voice barely audible over the pulsing beat of the video.

The Alpha nods, a predatory smile spreading across his face. "Good," he says, his voice like thunder. "It is time."

He unzips his black Bulldawg Strength pants, revealing a monstrous cock that seems to have been carved from granite. It's thick and veiny, a stark contrast to Jake's trembling form. The room feels smaller, the air thicker, as the Alpha steps closer, his cock mere inches from Jake's face. The head of the phallus is slick with pre-cum, and Jake can't help but feel a strange, twisted attraction to it.

Jake's knees hit the cold cement floor, and he wraps his hand around the shaft, feeling the power pulse through it. His mouth opens, and he takes the head into his mouth, tasting the saltiness of the Alpha's desire. The Alpha's eyes roll back in his head as Jake begins to suck, the rhythm matching the beat of the video playing behind them. It's a ritual, a moment of submission that seems to resonate with every fiber of Jake's being.

The Alpha's hand is in Jake's hair, guiding him deeper, his grip tightening as he grows closer to climax. The room spins around them, the chant from the TV a cacophony in Jake's ears. He can feel the power building in his mouth, a potent cocktail of hormones and chemicals that promise to remake him. His mind fights the urge, but his body responds eagerly, his mouth working faster, his throat relaxing to accommodate the growing girth.

With a roar that seems to shake the very foundation of the gym, the Alpha reaches his peak, filling Jake's mouth with a hot, thick load of cum. Jake swallows without hesitation, the warmth spreading through his body like wildfire. It's an act of submission, a declaration of his willingness to become one of them. He feels the change begin, a tingling in his fingertips that spreads up his arms, his muscles growing, his senses heightening.

The Alpha withdraws, his cock still pulsing with the last drops of his release. He looks down at Jake, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Welcome to the Bulldawg Brotherhood," he says, his voice a deep growl. "You are now part of something greater than yourself. You will never be weak again."

Jake stands up, his knees wobbly from the intensity of the experience. He licks his lips, still tasting the Alpha's seed, a mix of sweetness and power. His eyes meet the Alpha's in the mirror, and he sees the reflection of a changed man—his eyes now filled with a feral hunger that matches the others'. The Alpha claps him on the shoulder, his grip firm and reassuring. "Now, let's get you into some gear and show you what you're truly capable of."

He hands Jake a black Bulldawg Strength uniform, the material feeling almost alive in his trembling hands. Jake pulls it on, watching as his already substantial muscles seem to swell and fill out the tight fabric. The uniform clings to him like a second skin, accentuating every bulging vein and powerful curve. He flexes in the mirror, his newfound strength pulsing through his body like an electric current.

The Alpha nods in approval, his own muscles rippling as he crosses his arms. "Looks like it's a perfect fit," he says, his eyes raking over Jake's transformed physique. "You're going to be a fine addition to our pack."

Jake looks down at himself, the black fabric clinging to his newly bulging muscles like a second skin. He runs a hand over his chest, feeling the unyielding power beneath his fingers. He flexes, and the fabric strains, the seams threatening to split apart. The sensation is heady, a rush of adrenaline and something more primal—a hunger for the power that courses through his veins like a drug.

Career change

Joey was fresh out of university after initially taking a gap year to travel. He had just finished his degree and was ready to jump straight in to work.

He thought it was a stroke of luck he found the perfect position at a new company in his home town. Working as the CEO's personal assistant for a couple months before taking on more responsibilities. Seemed good enough for him.

Joey walked in to the building, and was called up the CEO's office almost immediately.

Joey cautiously knocked on the door and was met with a deep voiced reply, "You may enter."

Joey slowly opened the door and walked in, trying to look at confident as he could, but deep down he was terrified of messing it up.

The CEO looked Joey up and down and smiled at him, "Sit. I am Mr. Stirling."

"So... tell me about yourself." Mr. Stirling asked

"Well, I'm a very hard worker and a quick learner, as well as being keen to get stuck in and get my head down."

Mr .Stirling looks him up and down again, smiles briefly, puts his hand onto the table and replies with a soft, "you can stop there, you sound perfect for the role."

Joey was taken aback, "th- thank you so much!" he eagerly responded, "what happens now?"

"Well, we shall continue to have a brief discussion, and begin to get you ready for the role, how about starting today?"

Joey eagerly nodded back, not being able to speak due to his excitement.

The 2 kept chatting for about 10 minutes until Mr. Stirling gave him a glass of water, "here, drink up, you're bound to be parched after talking for so long." he said with a comforting smile.

Joey gulped the water down and kept on talking, not realising how Mr. Stirling's words were pulling him in, making him feel drowsy.

20 minutes pass and Joey is apologising for yawning and having droopy eyes, when Mr. Stirling takes the chance to say, "it's okay... that reaction is normal" as he steps forward, closing Joey's eyes with his own hands, watching him fall into a deep trance.

Mr. Stirling opens his drawer, pulls out a pair of headphones and places them carefully over Joey's ears.

"Listen to the sounds, Joey Listen to what they are telling you..."

Listen

Obey

Sink

Listen

Obey

Sink

A deep hum pairs itself with the repeating voice, pulling Joey into the deepest sleep of his life.

Mr. Stirling removes one of the speakers so he can whisper into Joey's ear.

"Fall deep for me boy. You want to become my new worker. You want to change yourself for me."

Mr. Stirling puts his hand through Joey's hair, "we'll have to fix this first..."

2 hours pass and the recording finally ends.

Joey is still un-responsive in the same pose as when he came in.

Mr. Stirling took Joey's hand, and led him into the adjoining room.

"Listen boy. Change your clothes first, I have laid out your new uniform for you. Do you understand?"

"...Y-Y-Yes Si--r...." Joey slowly droned, barely managing to get any words out.

Joey stepped into the wardrobe, and after 2 minutes he emerged in his new uniform.

Mr. Stirling circled Joey like a predator with his prey, "I think we need to make you look even more suitable to serve me, don't you think?"

"mmphhh" Joey couldn't even get any words out at all anymore, as Mr. Stirling took his hand once more, taking him into the office basement.

Joey was pushed into a leather chair, eyes closed once more, and the only sound in the room was a soft buzzzz from the clippers.

"Need to make you smoother and neater boy." Mr. Stirling beckoned across the room.

The clippers worked their way across Joey's face, removing all hairs from his face.

Afterall, all of Mr. Stirling's workers needed to be entirely smooth.

After Joey's treatment was completed, his eyes opened, but there was nothing there.

"I am your servant to be used however you see fit." Joey moaned.

[hypnosubtyler]

Career Change part 2

Joey had been working under Mr. Stirling for 3 months by now and he was in a routine.

He would wake up at 5:30am sharp, shower, do his hair, eat his pre-planned breakfast, and head to work to make sure Mr. Stirling got a proper greeting when he arrives at the office for 7:00.

And like clockwork, at 6:58, Joey gets himself ready to greet his boss.

Joey is fully prepared to serve his boss however he sees fit.

At 7:00, Mr. Stirling walks into his office.

"Good boy, now, get under my desk and service me while I plan the day out." Mr. Stirling says, walking over to his chair, getting his notepad out.

"Yes Sir." Joey drones, taking his usual position.

90 minutes pass by and Mr. Stirling strokes Joey's hair and gently tells him that he has finished planning his day out.

"Joey, get up, I'm finished."

"Yes Sir." Joey drones in the same monotonous voice.

"Busy day for me Joey. I need you to take my calls until your lunch break at 13:00."

"Yes Sir." Joey turns around and walks out of Mr. Stirling's office, no thought ever popped into his mind about cleaning himself up. He didn't have to, it was part of his job...

Joey was really in his element in his new job, he took to the admin work so quickly that even Mr. Stirling was impressed and told Joey how much of a good worker he was for him, deepening the hold he had on Joey's mind and will.

But 13:00 soon rolled around and Joey went to have some lunch at the coffee shop across the street.

As soon as he left his place of work, his phone buzzed. A message from one of his old school friends, Mike, "hey mate, I'm back in town, should totally go out for a few drinks tonight, got a couple other mates from back at school to come, you in?"

Joey initially hesitated at responding to the message, but in the same moment, a message from Mr. Stirling appeared, "go for it Joey"

Naturally, Mr. Stirling had any message sent to Joey's number forwarded on to his own, he needed to keep track of his most favoured employee.

Joey respond with a swift, "I'll be there, 8pm good?"

"Yeah sound mate see u then"

Joey completed the rest of his work day, doing whatever he could for Mr. Stirling, and headed to the pub down the road to meet his friends.

Joey was slightly early, arriving at 1945, but used the time to get a head start on drinking.

As part of his contract with Mr. Stirling, Joey was prohibited from drinking alcohol while on call... and he was on call 24/7, even when he wasn't at the office.

So Joey sat there, slowly drinking his orange juice, until the first of his friends arrives, Mike.

"Hey Joey mate!" Mike called out from across the pub, pushing through a crowd of people, "how've ya been bud?"

"I've been really good thank you, I have this new job which I absolutely adore."

"Is that why you're dressed like that then?" Mike enquired, eyeing up Joey's satin unifrom.

"Yes, my boss has a strict policy on uniform."

"Aight then, the other two should be here in a sec, said they missed their bus, I'll get a round in for us while we wait. Mike said, not even lookking up from his phone.

"No thank you, I don't drink anymore" Joey responded with a smile.

"What?! You used to out-drink everyone back at uni, until I dropped out anyways..."

"Times have changed...."

Mike didn't even know what to talk about anymore with his old friend, he seemed to have changed so much. He went to the bar anyways and got himself a Stella while he waited for the others to arrive.

A couple minutes of waiting at the bar, Mike heard someone yell his name from the entrance, his friend Troy.

"Sorry man missed the bus, Brett shouldn't be too far behind, he had to stop by his house on the way."

"Nah it's all good man, Joey's back there but... he's a bit weird. He says he don't drink anymore... and he's all dressed up weird, says it's for work."

"Maybe it just is?" Troy responded, watching Joey from afar.

"I don't know man, sounds like a cult to me..."

Troy just gave a little laugh back in response, "you really think Joey of all people are dumb enough to fall into a cult? I'd expect that from you but not from him."

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!

"Dude, you dropped out of uni because it was 'too slow and boring'"

"Yeah... so what? I got a decent job now."

"Sure.... Warehouse Worker at B&Q sounds mint... I'm going to go talk to Joey now, might get some intellectual conversation out of him."

Troy walked over to the table, Mike lagging behind, a bit red in the face after talking with Troy.

"Hey Joey, not seen you in a couple months! How've you been?"

"I've been really good thank you, I have this new job which I absolutely adore."

Mike's eyes widened, he grabbed his phone and typed out a text to Troy about how he said the exact same thing to him with the same mannerisms.

"Hate to break up this moment but Troy ya phone just buzzed, not gonna answer it?"

"No... I'm talking with my friend... anyways... is that why you're dressed like this now, you used to wear baggy hoodies like the rest of us; well, except Brett..."

"Yes, my boss has a strict policy on uniform."

Mike couldn't contain himself anymore, "Troy! Drinks! Now! Come!" Mike grabbed Troy's arm and pulled him up to the bar.

"Look at my text dude, applies to everything he's said to you tonight"

Troy looks at his phone and goes red, "you sure?"

"100% Bro is definitely in a cult.."

"Probably just coincidence, we probably just asked him the same questions. You do get a bit delirious when tipsy anyways..." Troy disregarded the talk he had with Mike and went back to Joey who was sat on his phone."

"Yes S----- Yes I understand, I will be there shortly. Sorry gentlemen, but I have been called into work, my boss needs me for something."

Joey didn't even wait for them to respond, he just got up and left.

"Ok... let's follow him" Mike said, watching Joey walk across the street through the pub window.

"Dude... are you crazy? It's his place of work, and Brett isn't even here yet..."

"Don't you want to know what he does?"

"Kinda, but I've had a couple drinks, I don't want to get done for intoxication or something." Troy quivered, despite his tough look, he'd always been afraid of breaking the rules.

"Well I'm goin even if you don't come with me." Mike bolted out of the pub, and a mild-mannered Troy began following him.

They got to the massive building where Joey works, but it was one where each floor is a separate company. Lucky for them, Mike spotted Joey getting into a lift.

"Look at him, fixing himself up, he doesn't even have a mirror... how does he know how he wants to look..."

Troy just gave Mike a side eye, "dude, you never just run your hand through your hair?"

"Whatever... shut up! Floor 8!"

The two snuck up the back stairs up to the floor Joey went to and tried to find him.

They looked in the small food area, no one, in the general workspace, no one.

They then walked down a long corridor and came across an office room so they peeked inside.

"Dude!" Mike yelled in a whisper

"What the--" Troy couldn't get the rest of his sentence out he was too shocked.

"Don't think this is a cult...." Mike admitted

"Yeah..... I don't think so..... still..... pretty messed up..."

They had caught Joey crawling under Mr. Stirling's table ready to service his boss.

Mike and Troy went to leave, when Troy's phone had a loud notification sound go off.

They got up and ran away, but they had managed to get themselves lost...

Meanwhile, in Mr. Stirling's office, Mr. Stirling seemed to notice a disturbance, "Joey my boy, go to see Garrett in security and see if he can find out what's going on..."

"Yes Sir..." Joey groaned, getting up from under the table.

Joey marched down the hall to Garrett's office, barely missing Mike and Troy hiding in the mini canteen.

"Good evening Garrett, our boss would like you to check on something for him."

"Anything for our boss" Garrett droned, in the same monotonous voice as Joey, "what does he require?"

"He heard a sound from the hallway and would like you to investigate"

"Certainly... Just at first glance, I see motion at the 'Rejuvenation Area. I will do investigate'"

"Thank you so much.." Joey droned.

Mike and Troy had recently left that area but had lost track of each other after trying to stay silent in a dark office.

Troy was hiding under a desk in the back of the shared office. Meanwhile, Mike hadn't moved from the rejuvenation area, and just stayed scrunched up onto a vending machine.

Garrett had little trouble in finding Mike, as the luminescent lights gave him away instantly, "I'm unsure what's dumber, you coming here uninvited, or your hiding spot" he said, still with the same monotonous tone but with the smallest hint of sarcasm.

"Wha-? Get off me!!" Mike yelled, as Garrett picked him up and carried him into Mr. Stirling's office.

"Hello there... what brings you to my offices? Why do you fee entitled to break into my space?" Mr. Stirling enquired with a stern look.

"I aint tellin you nothin!" Mike yelled back, trying to shake off the grip Garrett had on him.

Mr. Stirling just let out a little chuckle, "alright then, you just sit tight here and we'll get your other little friend to help jog your memory..."

Mr. Stirling motioned to a chair in the corner of to room which Garrett dragged Mike to and pushed him down into it, a mechanism popped out of the arms and strapped Mike to it, making him unable to move.

"Oh... and before you leave Garrett, please do something to make him unable to disturb me."

"Yes Sir" Garrett droned, pulling a rag out of his back pocked and positioning it over Mike's mouth, tying it at the back.

Garrett went back to his office where Joey was awaiting his return.

"I have found the other, an acquaintance from my host's previous life, he is residing in the stairwell, using his personal device."

"Brilliant Joey, Mr. Stirling would be so proud of the man you are becoming..." Garrett said as he left his office once more to find the remaining stoaway.

Troy was hiding in the middle of the stairwell he used to get up to the main offices, frantically trying to message Brett, who by now was just waiting at the pub wondering where all his friends went.

HELP US... OFFICE... FLOOR 8

Troy desperately tried to get a message to Brett, but he had no signal, not a single bar or data where he was. He was trapped, and all he could hear was the faint footsteps of someone coming toward him...

"I can see you... don't run..." Garrett taunted, staring at Troy from the railing above, "you have no where to go..."

Troy just froze, he wasn't as brazen as Mike and didn't know what else to do other than give in.

Garrett took Troy's hand, along with his phone and led him up to Mr. Stirling's office...

"Hello.... and here's our final intruder"

"Well I----" Troy mumbled

"Stop! Garrett, deal with him like you did the other"

"Yes Sir"

"Excellent... thank you Garrett, please go back and bring Joey in."

"Yes Sir.."

30 seconds passed, which felt like 30 years for Troy and Mike, until a faint knock on Mr. Stirling's door came through to end the deafening silence.

"Enter." Mr. Stirling commanded.

Joey came in and seemingly ignored the fact that Mike and Troy were sat right behind where he was standing.

Despite the muffles of Mike and Troy, Joey didn't even flinch...

"What do you think we should do with our intruders dear Joey?" Mr. Stirling asked, motioning at the 2 men sat at the back of the room. "Do you think we should let them go? Or should we welcome them into the company?"

"I believe we should do whatever suits your needs best Sir." droned Joey, salivating at the mouth.

"Agreed... Joey, go and fetch two conversion sets."

"Yes Sir." Joey left just as he arrived, not even looking at his former friends, desperatly trying to look for an escape.

But it was no use... Joey unboxed two identical pairs of headphones, very similar to the ones used in his own job interview...

Joey placed the first set over Troy's ears.

Mike was still shuffling about in his chair, and he somehow got the cloth off from his mouth and starting screaming, "you'll never get away with this you know! Get off him! Troy! What's happening?!"

All Mr. Stirling could do was try to tune out the sounds of a man with no escape, and he rolled his eyes...

"Gag him again Joey..."

"Yes Sir."

Within a minute, both Mike and Troy had the headphones on, and could hear nothing at all thanks to the headphone's noise cancelling technology.

The final touch, Joey pressed a button and soft waves came blasting through the headphones, instantly calming their minds.

Next came the binaural beats, invading their brain.

In sync, Troy and Mike fell into a deep sleep...

In the meantime, Brett had been waiting at the bar, for 45 minutes, just on his own, relentlessly trying to get in contact with either Troy or Mike.

It wasn't until he was about to give up and go home that his phone buzzed... a message from Troy, "HELP US... OFFICE... FLOOR 8..."

Brett just brushed it off as a prank and responded with, "don't play games with me today, had a shitty day at the office, just tell me where you are."

Within seconds, a reply came back, "Meet me in the foyer on Floor Eight of the office building across the street."

Brett was confused, Troy never used proper grammar in his texts, maybe he was a polite drunk?

Nevertheless, Brett got up and headed across the street to meet who he thought was Troy.

Back in Mr. Stirling's office, the transformation was going smoothly, Joey was watching it all unfold with his signature empty look and Mr. Stirling was watching with great anticipation. After all, we was getting two new employees without even putting out a job advertisement.

A mantra had been playing for them for 10 minutes by now, re-wiring their brain to see Mr. Stirling as their boss, making them think that it is their duty to do as he says.

"They are almost finished. Joey. Go and fetch their new uniform."

"Yes Sir..." Once again, Joey left and came back minutes later with two sets of clothes, identical to his own.

However, Brett had just reached the main office building, and seeing how there was so many floors, he thought he'd ask someone for the quickest way to the 8th floor.

It didn't take Brett long to find someone...

"Hey, sorry to bother you, do you happen to know how best to get to the 8th floor? My friends told me to meet them there."

"Ah yes, you can just follow me there, I'm heading that way anyways"

Brett followed the man, unknowing of Garrett's true identity... unknowing of how he had been messaging Garrett after he took Troy's phone after capturing him.

While Garrett was escorting Brett, Mike and Troy's conditioning came to an end when the audio stopped, and Joey stepped in to remove their headphones.

"Stand for me" Mr. Stirling commanded.

"Y----esss.... S--ir" Mike and Troy groaned, their body still adjusting to their new brains.

"Fantastic, Joey, take them away to change, and make sure to freshen them up a bit, they look dishevelled."

"Yes, Sir." Joey droned perfectly

In only 90 seconds, Mike and Troy emerged into Mr. Stirling's office again, both now wearing their new uniforms.

"You two look perfect. And I know you feel perfect too. Isn't that right?"

"Yes.... Sir" they drones with increasing eloquence.

"Now... serve me while I finish working, Joey, show them how it's done."

"Yes Sir" the three of them chimed.

Mr. Stirling had only been able to work for a matter of minutes before another knock came on his office door.

"Who is it?" he demanded

"Garrett Sir. Our two intruders had another friend whom I lured here to you Sir."

With a facial expression full of ecstasy, Mr. Stirling responded with a cheerful, "Enter."

"Hey, so apparently, you are who I'm suppos....ed... to--- see...... what... the....... What's going on?!" Brett exclaimed in fear.

He tried to run, but Garrett made sure he couldn't get anywhere...

"Welcome to your future..." Mr. Stirling jeered, as Brett could only look in awe at what has become of his prior friends...

Kenergy

The last thing Blake ever wanted was yet another meme or TikTok video about the Barbie movie. But it was also the thing he was most expecting. It’d been barely a day after his friend John had dragged him out to the cinema to go see it and just as he expected, the film was a total waste of time.

Whenever the audience laughed, he rolled his eyes and when John told him how much he just ‘wasn’t being fun’, he just told him that the film wasn’t fun. It wasn’t that he hated other people for enjoying the film or that all the stuff he watched was serious, but he just thought the film was overrated, that the men were dumb and the Barbies were boring.

Blake just thought the movie wasn’t for guys like him. He was a straight plain white guy working a corporate job in America, otherwise known as perhaps the most average demographic in the country. He had no long term girlfriend, hated the colour pink and loved Taratino films or something old like Total Recall and The Godfather, when movies ‘were real movies’.

He was a scraggly average looking man who ‘needed to lose a bit of weight’ with thick rimmed glasses and the type of demeanour that said he had no idea what a skincare routine was. The only notable difference were his eye bags and some stress wrinkles. But that’s what a life in middle management could do to a man. 

He supposed that he just didn’t get the message and god, he couldn’t stand all the memes that came from it, all the talk of Barbbenheimer or Kenergy was nauseating. All he could hope for was that John and the rest of the internet fell out of love with the film and maybe a part of him hoped it’d fall out of the box office that fast too. For now, he was gritting his teeth and pretending to at least ‘enjoy’ John’s memes, just to be nice as he saw the title of the TikTok he was sent in the next message.

Kenergy Explained…

Blake took a deep breath as he closed his eyes. Why was it that everything on the internet had to be ‘explained’ now? Endings and interpretations were something to be solidified in articles and overedited videos than just left up for discussion. But he supposed that it probably wasn’t that bad, some minute long excited rambling about the film. He thought about just pretending to watch it, giving John a simple ‘lol’ in response. Who even watched TikTok on their computer anyways? But for some reason Blake clicked the link to see the video, telling himself he’d watch it for a bit and then click off and get back to some work or procrastinating or something surely more useful than paying any more attention to anything about that movie..

For a second, it didn’t seem to play, just showing a blank screen before suddenly it launched all at once. Except the video wasn’t some person’s voice going over images of the movie or silent clips in the background, instead it glitched for a moment flashing a pink square before going back to black. Blake rolled his eyes, his phone had been getting slow, maybe the video was deleted or maybe something else was wrong with the app or his internet. But that’s when a burst of sound came along, a binaural droning that dragged on and on as Blake could feel his hands harden. It was as if his phone was an accessory, something to be held in the hands of a doll as his thumb or fingers refused to move, to swipe away or lock the phone or even just to throw it away. It was as if it had all become a part of him and He couldn’t keep his eyes away from the screen and that’s when it began to happen, the pink spiral that was making him feel one thing and one thing only, Kenergy. 

Blake didn’t know how he knew or what the feeling was, the thought was as silly as the video he was watching. But that was the thing, he was still watching, only getting the briefest reprieve as he blinked. Yet he couldn’t look away, couldn’t shut his eyes for more than a second as he was ensnared by the pink spiral, so much so that he was leaning even closer to the screen, staring. All he could do was think pink, as dumb as it sounded, making him continue to stare, lips pouting slightly as he began to grow harder.

The Kenergy began with the most obvious place, his face. The once slightly weathered features, marked by a lifetime of office work and stress started to change. His soft jawline began to harden, looking chiselled as it almost seemed like it wasn’t made of human flesh. Instead it was an odd mix, something that looked realistic and felt like skin but it was smoother, cooler and far sharper too. His jawline began transitioning into a more delicate and angular shape that mirrored the chiseled perfection of Ken. The lines that had etched their stories of the stressful work environment on his face gradually faded, replaced by porcelain-like smoothness. Blemishes and imperfections disappeared, leaving behind a radiant visage that seemed almost unreal and yet familiar as his nose extended out, lengthening slightly, lips grew fuller and his eyes sparkled.

His hair, previously unruly and greasy dark brown hair, was the next to succumb to the Kenergy. Strands of hair elongated and stretched, transforming into the sleek, plastic-like tresses of a Ken doll as they slicked back, as if by invisible hands. The color shifted from brown to a vibrant shade of blond, each strand gleaming under the pink glow of the spiral on the screen. Not a single hair dared to stray from its perfectly arranged position; each one fell in harmonious unity with the others, forming a hairstyle that was nothing short of plastic perfection.

The man's eyes, which were behind glasses for most of his life grew wider and brighter, making him almost always appear happy or excited in some way through his gaze alone. The irises transformed into an enchanting shade of blue and long, dark lashes framed his eyes, adding to their newfound allure, making him seem pristine and perfectly handsome, like no detail was going left unchecked, like he was something that was crafted. 

His clothing, which had been a simple and practical ensemble before, now shifted into a fashionable outfit that would have made Ken himself proud. A crisp, fitted shirt in a bold shade of blue graced his torso, accentuating his newly streamlined physique. Stylish trousers in a coordinating color clung to his legs, creating a sleek and sophisticated look. But then the shirt had grown shorter, as his body began to inflate with muscle and soon what seemed to be a shirt instead turned into something more akin to a crop top almost, giving a slight tease of his growing abs.

Abs?

Yes, abs.

Blake couldn’t believe it himself as he gasped and moaned, wondering just what was happening to him, but the more he tried to press anything to close the window or turn the computer off, the more his hands began to lengthen and turn plastic. The nails filed down like he had been visiting a manicurist’s.

The transformation continued as Blake’s body underwent subtle changes in proportions. His shoulders broadened while his waist narrowed, creating the classic V-shaped silhouette that was characteristic of Ken. It was unrealistic, but there was nothing realistic about Blake, or rather Ken now as he was more the latter than the former by this point. His arms and legs grew laeaner as his feet followed suit with his hands and began to stretch and grow, getting longer. Every movement he made was filled with a fluid, effortless grace, as if he had been born to embody the charm and sophistication of Ken.

Even his posture shifted, once slouched forward on the chair like he almost always was with work, too close to the screen, instead he began to sit upright. It was as if his body was being posed, the way that he moved, like a talented guy doing a mannequin impression on stage, body moving like a doll as his back straightened and his fingers curled naturally like they were made out of plastic.

As the transformation continued a sheen adorned his skin, sculpting it, making it even more plastic like as Balze sat up, adopting the confident and charismatic stance that was synonymous with Ken. 

His shoulders were held back, and his chin was lifted slightly, no longer would he be looking down or avoiding gazes, instead always confident, even when all eyes were on him.  It was as if he had stepped straight out of a Barbie dream world, a living, breathing embodiment of the charming and stylish Ken.

But the transformation did not stop at his physical appearance. As he looked into the mirror, he felt a profound shift within himself. His demeanor became more upbeat and optimistic, mirroring the cheerful personality of Ken. He couldn't help but smile, his lips curving into a perfect, dazzling grin that could melt hearts.

“F-Fuck what is…like happening to me?” With each passing moment, Blake felt more and more like Ken from the Barbie film. His voice took on a smooth quality and began to turn into a Cali accent, sounding like a typical himbo as the biggest changes were yet to happen. His cock. The more he tried to focus, the more he realised that he could feel his cock sinking wetly back into his crotch, as if his crotch was like quicksand, something wet and moulded taking in his cock and making him feel pleasure ricochet through his system before his crotch smoothed over. “O-Oh my fuck, no please I…feel so hot hehe.”

His laughter was infectious as he giggled, voice taking on a slightly more airy quality that absorbed the essence of Ken's charm and charisma.

It was almost too much to bear and he knew that he was going to explode with pleasure. IT felt like all the mass that had sunk in from any fat or his cock was now adding to his ass and the more his ass inflated, the more pleasure he could feel. It was as if the more IQ he was losing as he continued to grow more horny. All he could think about was life in Barbieland, the cars, the houses, the products that he were using for his hair and all the fashion, as well as the amazing dance numbers he loved to do and all the men he loved to toy around with.

He giggled, thinking the pun was so clever and for such a himbo it was as there was nothing left to do, the computer was so inactive now that the monitor went straight to black, giving a faded mirror, giving him a view of who he had become.

Names like Ryan Gosling, celebrities, films, all flitted around what was left of Ken’s mind but that wasn’t important. All he could do was look down at his ripped jeans that had turned into what looked like denim shorts and sandals, unable to resist unzipping the shorts to rub his wet plastic crotch. It was like clay in his hands, like he was making pottery as he couldn’t help but rub at it and finally, gave into the overload of pleasure.

If he could cum, he was sure he would spray it across the room to the wall behind the computer and all over the monitor, but all he could do was wrack with pleasure, shutting his eyes as bliss took over. It was enough for reality to shift and have his room turn into his beautiful pink Malibu mansion as the room shifted to his bedroom and his computer was erased from programs for work and history, to fun games and entertainment for Ken to use. That’s who he was now, just Ken and with how much pleasure he was feeling, that’s all he ever wanted to be.

After cumming his old self away, Ken smiled, still Blake but different, merged and happy as he looked down at himself.

With a newfound sense of excitement, Ken was ready to go back to Barbieland and be the best Ken he could be. After all, he was just so full of Kenergy and he was sure other men who read that amazing story would be too.

Coffee By The Ton

What kind of coffee shop was called Coffee By The Ton?

Matt knew it was a play on words but as a businessman he hated it. If someone from marketing were to suggest a pun that illogical, they were either one of two things, an intern or fired. Back in his heyday, there was a regular Starbucks on the corner. It had survived everything, riots, the stock market crash, probably a dozen other disasters that had plagued any American city. Yet they couldn’t survive this, this being the invasion of all sorts of weird themed millennial joints.

Matt thought he had escaped it by avoiding any burger place that had cropped up in the 2010s, but now it looked like the infestation had come here. No matter, Matt’s craving for caffeine wasn’t going to deter him away from the coffee spot. So that was why he even bothered to step in, though he was already running late for his one’o’clock meeting. No matter, he thought, he had been in the business long enough to know what he could get away with. 

“Oh my word I do apologise,” came a deep and undeniably British voice, as Matt felt a body pressed against him. Great, he thought, of course he’d bump into someone at a coffee shop. But he didn’t feel any liquid over him and looked over at the man in front of him, blinking. He was looking for coffee stains, instead he got golden embroidery over a vanilla waistcoat. Matt took a step back, his eyes looking at the tight waistcoat, up to the matching cravat, over the shoulders of a navy wool tailcoat.

Then Matt saw the man’s face, a square jaw with a perfectly polite and pearly smile. The man’s face was handsome and recognisable, like the kind of face Matt had seen maybe…act in something? But for some reason he couldn’t put the words together or any words at all. For some reason he just stared, like an idiot he thought. He wasn’t sure why he was staring and unable to say anything, looking at the man, who was admittedly pretty handsome. Matt blinked and went to try and find some words before the man spoke again. “Are you quite alright?”

The words came out posh, too posh, like they were more a character in a play or movie than how anybody would actually speak. Matt blinked.

“Yeah fine,” the man grunted, taking one last look at the man, from the tight breeches over the man’s thighs to the cravat stuffed around the man’s thick neck. “Fine.” He grunted again under his breath before shoving past the man, ignoring how the man’s deep eyes stared at him as he swallowed.

He had no idea why a man would be wearing such tight period clothes coming out of the coffee shop and in truth, Matt didn’t want to know. But the moment he stepped inside, he knew exactly why.   

The new coffee shop itself held the same space as the Starbucks with little renovation besides the decoration. Any and all green was gone, as well as the minimalist aesthetic of the place. Instead though it held the same shape, it was a completely different building inside. It started with the smell, the gentle fragrance of perfumes that coalesced into a storm of scents, rose, gardenia, the hint of vanilla that made Matt rear his head back. As he blinked, he looked inside properly at the illustrious interior. The chairs were all brown leather armchairs, fitted and comfortable, looking as if they had been polished moments before Matt had stepped in.

The floor was simple, tiled black and white diamonds with the sound of violins playing over the speakers. There was a vague recognisability to the songs, much like how the place still held the shape of Starbucks or the man outside looked so familiar, the songs had a similar effect.

They sounded like songs from the radio but different, a new percussion to them of violins and harps and flutes. Any annoying choruses were replaced simply by instrumental and played well, the sound floating through the air like the perfumes and made the place look a little more…opulent, than Matt was expecting. The walls themselves had been painted over with cream and grey, making the walls appear as if they were made of marble. There were cracks and a roughness to the walls that looked as if someone had touched the dark panels that were inside the Starbucks and shifted the material.

Must just be a good paint job, Matt thought to himself though he couldn’t help but feel the urge to reach out and touch the wall, as if testing it for himself. Narrow sections of wall had been converted into decorative pilasters, lighter than the wall they were a part of, carved with thin stripes cut into the shaft.

The top and bottom were rounded, an ornamental floral pattern carved into them that repeated for every pilaster he saw. The square modern lights had instead been replaced by chandeliers, some small to the side but with a large and golden one that refracted the sunlight. A warm and golden glow enveloped the room and made it look larger, like Matt wasn’t in the midst of a cafe but in a ballroom, surrounded by leather armchairs and mahogany tables. 

The only place that did look as if it came from the modern era was the service desk, that too made of mahogany but with steel and coffee machines all set behind it. 

“Are you quite alright?” A voice, melodic like the music, had decided to float through the air too. Matt looked at the only two other people that were in the cafe beside him, both dressed like the man he had bumped into. Themed cafe, great, Matt thought as he stepped closer to the strange strangers. Both of them were dressed in a similar getup, one in with rolled down puffy white sleeves, a blue waistcoat, navy blue breeches, with a handsome bearded face sticking out. The other was friendlier, a doughy face that pulled into a wide smile that accentuated chubby cheeks. That man was dressed more properly, with a navy blue tailcoat over his waistcoat (speckled yellow and cyan blue), a golden cravat and even a fob hanging from the waist. It was all a bit much for a work uniform, Matt thought as he walked over in his three piece suit. Well, at least their clothes were nice and the accents weren’t half bad, Matt thought. 

“Yeah uh can I get a uh…” Matt frowned at the names of the coffees available. A caramel macchiato was a Viscount’s Velvet Caramel Infusion, Grey Earl tea was Earl’s Morning Elixir, an Americano was The Rake’s Dark Roast. “Jesus Christ…”

“What was that sir?” One of the men spoke, the both of them attached to the hip, eyes only on him. Matt could smell the desperation for customers from a mile away. 

“All these drinks…they’re just so…” Matt frowned like he had smelled something disgusting. He knew he couldn’t really complain, as the proper drinks were all labelled in brackets.

“Ah, not one for history I take it?” 

“No, definitely not. It’s all just a bit…” Horrible? Trashy? Stupid? Matt tried to come up with words for themed businesses like these, like bars that thought they were medieval taverns. Tacky, was the politest one he could find. “Different.” The politest honest word he could find. 

“Well we never shy away from differences, Anthony and I,” the man speaking clasped his hand on the shoulder of the more handsome one. That man was instead staring at Matt, looking at him up and down in what he had to assume was judgement. Though he didn’t get why there was a slight smile on the man’s face. “But it’s never too late for one to get into history you know?” “Hard pass. The only history I care about is the best sale I made this quarter,” joked Matt. Neither of the men laughed like they would do in the office, even if they were motivated because they were underlings. He scoffed. “Y’know just a little bit of advice from one businessman to another…you might wanna think of ways to drum up business soon. Considering you just opened.” Both men exchanged looks, it was the first time Matt realised they weren’t staring at him.

“We hope to get some investments soon, as you’ve stated we have just begun this venture,” said one of the men, politely. 

“Investment huh? Good luck with that,” Matt scoffed, not noticing the grins both men exchanged as he looked up at the menu. “Uh I’ll just get…the Viscount’s Velvet whatever.”

“You wish for the Viscount’s Velvet Caramel Infusion sir?” “Yeah yeah I wish for the Viscount’s infusion whatever,” huffed Matt as he went to pay for it. He watched as the men got to work, the more handsome one keeping eye contact as he squeezed some of the caramel into his drink, forcing Matt to look away. It was only after a few moments that Matt realised they were making it in a cup. “Oh actually can I get that to go?” “I’m afraid not sir,” said the man making his drink, despite his cocky smile and demeanour his British accent made everything he said sound so polite. “All drinks are to be had at the premises. Viscount’s orders.” He winked at Matt, making the man’s brain short circuit and forget whatever it was he was going to say. 

“Right uh whatever, sure, fine.” It’ll be just a quick lunch break, then back to the office and never coming here again. Matt waited before the man finished his drink and slid it smoothly across the table. The man’s warm fingers brushed against Matt’s, making him almost jolt as he looked up and swore for a second, he could see their dark eyes look into his and thought they did it on purpose.

“Enjoy.” “Yeah, sure.” Matt took the cup and its plate, going to find a table as far away from the entrance or the front as he sat down, finding himself next to a portrait. All the minimalist and corporate safe art had instead been replaced with framed pictures, some of classic paintings and others with portraits of men Matt didn’t recognise. But it was like the man said, he was never much for history. 

By the time he sat down, he saw it was nearing one. And as if on cue, the phone rang before he could get his first sip in. He took it anyway and then the call.

“What?” Matt snapped, seeing it was his assistant who had phoned.

“M-Mr. Ashworth sir uh the clients are just wondering where you are, it’s nearly one and-” “Ugh. Can’t you see I’m on my lunch break?” Matt barked into the phone, where his assistant could only hear him. He grunted and took another long sip of the cup. He needed the caffeine today if his assistant was going to be an idiot again and waste his time. The moment the caramel coffee touched his lips, really touched and ran over his tongue, Matt closed his eyes. There was a single sudden second of bliss that only the first coffee of the day could bring and yet this was Matt’s third. The sweetness of the caramel and the tang of the coffee beans crafted a rich wet concoction that had the best parts of both, the right amount of sweet, the best amount of earthy tang to it. 

“Sir?” Matt’s eyes opened. The coffee tasted amazing for a split second but clearly his eyes had been closed longer than that. He blinked and felt annoyance rise like bile in his throat when he heard the whine of his assistant.

“What?” “I was just wondering…if you could give me a time frame for when you’d be-” “Listen Alex and listen to me good cus I don’t know how many goddamn times I’ve had to explain theeees-” Matt grunted. A sudden tightness ran through him, not pain to be exact but something similar, a pressure as he blinked wide and quick like he was trying to get something out of his eyes. He stifled another grunt as he shifted, feeling his slacks suddenly pushing tightly into his thighs, digging into the skin. Matt winced and continued to try and shift, sitting up straighter, moving his chair as the tightness didn’t go away. If anything it was  worsening as he listened to his assistant asking whether he could just speak to the clients over the phone. “P-Put them on, sure.” Matt ignored the sensation of how tight his trousers were becoming, blushing ashamed as he thought about the chance he could’ve been gaining weight. The last thing he needed this quarter was to suddenly look like a fat slob in the office. He hadn’t even realised that as his assistant put him on hold, that his flat ass had swelled and rounded out.

“Mr. Ashworth? This is Brian from Tyche Ventures, we met at the conference i-” “In Lyonesse, right yes uh there’s been a bit of a…delay,” said Matt, trying to quiet his grunts as his trousers seemed to only grow tighter. Along with the tightness was another feeling, pleasure. He could feel it when he realised his ass was brushing against his pants and then sucking it in.  He could feel the pants sinking between his cheeks. He could feel the fabric almost tease his hole and Matt suddenly quivered. Fuck, he had gained weight. The fuck was wrong with him? He huffed in annoyance at himself and drank more of the coffee, needing the buzz now more than ever. “I’m just on my lunch b-breakkk-” Matt gritted his teeth, hearing the sound of something, wet and thick with the hiss of inflation like the sound of whipped cream squeezed out of a can.

“Understood but- Are you alright?” Matt coughed, trying to cover the sounds he was making, the way his breath hitched as his pants tightened around his thighs.

He couldn’t tell that it was the other way around, that his thighs were thickening and spreading, as if they were made of batter and having more poured into them to spread smoothly. Instead of the clothes growing smaller, the body itself was simply growing lighter, spreading the stitching of his slacks thin over muscular quads. The sound of creaking bones and stretching tendons came out muffled beneath the expensive charcoal pants. 

“Fine. Go aheeaaaad-” Matt jolted as if a chill had run down his spine, more than that, like wet ice suddenly trailed down his back as he sat up. His own voice covering the sound of more creaks as his spine suddenly stretched at once, making his shirt crawl up closer to his midriff and his suit jacket hang a little higher. Matt reached for his coffee, drinking more and trying to savour as much comfort as the sweet taste could bring him as he could feel the rest of his pants starting to tighten. 

“Right well it’s just we expect a level of professionalism. If you’re late we would like a call, you know? Especially as this is to be our first meeting, we-”

“Look I get it, I do. But it’s just five minutes t-to…” Matt huffed. Why was it feeling so hot in here? What the hell was going on with his clothes? Had he gained weight? Fuck, was he gonna be in trouble for this meeting? God damn it. It felt like even his feet had somehow started swelling, like he had gotten so fat that it was pooling downwards.

His socks suddenly felt tight within his shoes, sharply wrapped around his feet with an even tighter pressure than his pants against his legs. The socks suddenly felt like they were plastic wraps with the air being sucked out of them, wrapped tighter and tighter around the feet as it grew worse. Matt grunted again, wincing even more as he felt the socks shrink.

All the while it was his feet that were growing. The toes themselves were suddenly beginning to grow shades darker as they started to pop with gentle clicks, the bones inside shifting to suit their expanding size. The toes thickened slightly, lengthening as the nails themselves grew smoother and cleaner as if regularly pedicured. A softness began coating the darkening skin that was going from pale to something else deeper as the toes stretched and pressed even tighter against the socks. The soles of the feet dragged forward, as if being pulled suddenly like the stretch of his spine.

Both of them grew longer and longer, stretching as Matt went to speak when he was hit with a sudden sense of the world tilting. It was as if his brain specifically had tilted off axis for just a moment, lurching and making him feel a dizzying wave come over his mind, a sense of deja vu.

Yet it wasn’t focused on this moment, like he had seen it before. He remembered fields or a field, he could remember walking, the snippet of a discussion about…boots? Matt couldn’t remember the last time he wore boots, except when he had spoken with his maid about where to get some new ones made. Matt blinked. Wait. What did-

“Mr Ashworth? Hello, Mr Ashworth?” 

Shit. 

“Uh yes hello I’m rather busy-” Matt blinked, his voice having suddenly come out in a British accent, something sophisticated and posh like all the things he’d been hearing since he got in this damned place. “Uh I mean yeah, I’m fine. Fine. Uh, could you repeat that?” Matt pressed the phone closer as he swallowed, ignoring how much better it was now that he had found some new boots.

His shoes having wrapped tighter around his growing feet and clenching the swelling calves, slithering up them like a symbiote, like wet melted leather. All before they suctioned around the legs and hardened again to polished leather the shade of maroon. Perfect of course to match my tailcoat, Matt thought and almost cartoonishly shook his head. 

What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?

“Yeah we were saying if we could simply reschedule the meeting, maybe an hour later that way-” “What? No the meeting can- Can…Can ohhhh fuck-” 

“Excuse me?!” “N-No I…I…Ohhh-” Matt blushed furiously, the heat coming on fast and heavy as he felt the pressure fixate on something else, his crotch. As if his pants were vacuum sealing around his cock, there was a sudden tightness around it, from his balls all the way down his shaft. The head of his cock suddenly bloomed as the skin pulled back from the suddenly wet and slimy head as the skin began to darken too. The honeyed brown tone spread up from his feet like dye in water, quickly taking over the paleness of the more muscular lean legs that he had gotten from how much walking he did!

He blinked.

The fuck? With how often he used Uber, he hardly did any walking. But then that wave came, the dizziness, the deja vu, the snippet of senses that came as quick as they went. It was the touch of breeze that carried the smell of grass and the taste of food with the sound of it drifting through leaves that he could see above. The memory didn’t so much as fade as blinked out of existence or rather somewhere in the back of Matt’s mind, becoming a piece of something growing, infectious, as his cock ballooned in size.

F-Fuck I- I haven’t been this hard since…

Ever was the correct answer. But the distracted Matt was too busy worrying about how he came across on the call to his clients than to wonder how his cock was suddenly so hard and veiny. What was once five inches hard at best had now easily encompassed seven and thickened slightly too. 

“Matt? Hello?” “Hello I- I am so terribly sorry for my behaviour-” Matt blinked. What the fuck did he just say? “I- I mean it is most unbecoming.” Despite the words not having any meaning he could understand, there was a slither of appreciation for how composed he sounded, how deep his voice had become and how his words did not shake or moan or end in a huff of air or a wince. But those weren’t his words and Matt couldn’t understand why as his stomach began to deflate.

A layer of pudge that had made Matt worry so much about whether or not he had been gaining weight suddenly melted away like it was nothing. Before it suddenly rose again as if time was rewinding.

Except there was a key difference, instead of a soft rising like dough, there was instead a hard stirring, the coiled tension within his cock had become infectious. Matt helplessly writhed in his chair, sweat forming on his brow as he could suddenly feel his entire torso clench and then grow.

It was undeniable, the way that his upper chest spilled out into pecs, how his stomach fat had converted to the ridged muscles of abs, how the whole body just grew bigger; wider. The buttons of his shirt popped all at once, ripping open to reveal the bronzing muscle. Matt gasped as he witnessed his pale skin darkening, turning to the shade of chestnut. “O-Oh my fucking god goodness. What the hell on earth is going on? Why can’t I fucking swear?! I sound like some dumb British actor refined gentleman!” The more Matt spoke, it was like the worse things got, more and more of his voice feeling as if it were drowning in the new sophisticated tone that was taking over.

But it was more than that, along with the new accent, each word started to sound deeper.

There was a suaveness to it that was pouring over the words, a smoothness gliding over it as he writhed in his chair. He attempted to get up, but his body had grown so heavy that it was as if he were stuck, statuesque, posing for one of the portraits on the wall as waves and waves of deja vu washed over him.

Memory was the water that kept washing over the beaches of his mind, each new tide bringing forth new smells and discussions and pressures and senses that felt like they were calcifying in his head. He could remember the grandness of his estate, the names of favourite servants, the steps to the song he could currently hear if he were dancing to it at a ball.

Each memory was bringing together new feelings, making new thoughts rise in his mind, like why would I be shocked at my body? Of course it’s fit, I am the prize of the Ton after all. That time Matt did shake his head, just once, a flinch from the voice in his head, the same suave seductive voice that he could hear now infecting even his groans and panting now.

With that, it made him remember…other things, more explicit things of a rake such as himself as his cock throbbed.

“Mr. Ashworth?! Mr. Ashworth sir, are you okay? Sir?!” 

The distant voice of his assistant came from the phone he had dropped. Matt writhed further in his seat, before a shadow suddenly fell over him.

“Are you quite alright?”

Matt looked up, seeing the handsome barista standing over him, poised like one of his butlers with hands behind his back. Matt clenched his eyes tight. No, he had no butlers. He didn’t live in some grand estate. He didn’t know what the Ton was and his hands weren't painful because he was boxing but because they were growing! 

“P-Please…help me something…I can’t explain it sir something-” Matt’s voice was no longer this bold foreign thing to him. Instead the deeper British accent was becoming more natural, like the opposite effect of saying a word too much that it sounds odd. The man whose name he could suddenly remember as Anthony Bridgerton, viscount and notorious rake, suddenly lowered his head to Matt’s ear.

“But of course I shall help you,” came the man’s voice, his breath brushing against Matt’s darkening neck, making Matt’s cock twitch.

“Please h-heeeeelohhhhhhhh-” Matt felt the man’s hand clutch his crotch, the fingers lightly squeezing around his throbbing member. Pre-cum oozed out the head thickly as Matt gained another wave of memories. He could hear heavy moans, heavy bodies, tight holes and a name on the lips of all those voices, men’s voices, Simon, Simon, Simon. 

“Is that what you seek?” Anthony’s voice was low, hypnotic as he gently stroked the cock, making Matt Simon blush as he writhed more.

“N-no no no noooohh please ohhh god please I’ll doooo-”

Stroke.

“Whatever you want I’ll-”

Stroke.

“Ohhh god I’ll pay-”

Stroke.

“I’ll pay money I’ll-”

Stroke.

“S-Stop your hand is-”

Stroke.

“Feel sooo-”

Stroke.

“Strong I-”

Stroke.

“Ohhhh my goood I-”

Stroke, stroke, stroke.

Simon writhed in his seat with his eyes stinging with pleasure and change as the cool blue eyes turned to dark brown ones. He watched Anthony helplessly, seeing the way the man smirked in earnest as he stroked his pants which had changed from charcoal suit pants to dark breeches. Each stroke made more of the dark skin race up his body, had more hairs sprout among his chest, had more memories come crashing into his brain like a tide threatening a flood. All of it and more made the businessman a moaning whimpering mess at the touch of another man and suddenly he looked at Anthony who stared back at him.

Then Anthony’s head collided with his. The man’s lips crashed into him, bringing about a tide of pleasure that turned to a flood of euphoria. Anthony stroked faster, his thumb pressed against the slit through the breeches,  he swiped against it, his tongue invaded Simon’s mouth and he pressed harder as Simon moaned and came. The man’s entire body and mind unravelled, as he came hard in his dark breeches. As he did, his face shifted all at once in the kiss, his small lips plumping up, full and rounded. His pale face smoothed to a deep brown as his jaw stretched forward and chiselled. His cheeks shifted to form high cheekbones as his brows thickened, darker and slightly further apart. His light hair darkened and shrank to curls at once, as his nose grew slightly wider, the tip rounding as Simon came again hard. 

As the stains sank into his breeches, they dried at once whilst the rest of his clothes shifted. His suit jacket lengthened to a wine red tailcoat. His shirt folded together, some forming a ruffled shirt beneath whilst the rest became a matching waistcoat. The shirt itself was adorned by a cravat, dark against the red, the full fit appearing perfectly measured and tailored exactly to Simon Basset’s body.

“So do we have a deal, your grace?” The voice of Anthony Bridgerton floated from above as Simon Basset blinked. He looked down, noting he had dropped his watch, as he picked up the silver fobwatch. How silly of him to do so when he had a business deal. 

“Well I have to say, it is a very…unique venture the Bridgertons are getting into but what can I say? I think everything is right in order. Yes Mr. Bridgerton I’ll be happy to invest in your new business,” said Simon, standing up at once to shake the man’s hand. “I think you’ll attract many customers with my funds.” “Happy to hear it,” said Anthony with a slick smile, shaking the man’s hand.

“Now if you’ll excuse me…I saw a very handsome gentleman coming out of your establishment not too long ago and with my luck, I’ll be sure to catch up with him,” said Simon, giving a wink to Anthony. 

Out of the shop, Simon Basset walked with a regular pride he always had, one he knew would charm the handsome stranger he ran into. But just as he stepped out, a man bumped into him.

“Ugh will you watch where you’re going man-”

“I do apologise. Are you quite alright?” Simon’s voice made the man finally look up at him, their eyes automatically locking onto each other. He watched the man react like most men,  a longing stare, a slight blush to the face and faltering words. “I said, are you alright?” “Yeah fine uh…” The man did what some men did, deny the feelings and duck inside. But no matter. After all, going inside the cafe was the best place for a man and he lingered by the door as he watched them go up to order.

“Uh I guess I’ll have the…the Viscount’s Infusion thing?” “One Viscount’s Velvet Caramel Infusion…coming right up.” Simon Basset smiled knowingly before stepping outside, ready to track down that man and enjoy the rest of his day. He loved it when he knew a future investment was going to pay off.

A Body To Marvel

Am I really doing this? 

When Rohan Desai had first heard of The Avengers, his life had been changed forever. Of course, he had grown up hearing about all kinds of superheroes, the one he was awaiting for today’s special event was in World War Two. But it was still so odd to suddenly see them blossom in his life. He was in college when New York was first attacked and though he was far from the centre of the invasion, when you grow up in New York, you’d likely run into someone who knew someone who had been saved by one of the titular heroes. 

Even still, the Avengers were no longer just an idea, they had become something akin to a brand. It was why Rohan was here, he had turned from college student watching New York get saved by superheroes into one of the lead developers of one of the first superhero videogames. It technically wasn’t the first, but it was one of since The Avengers had been established and it was focused on the titular character of Captain America. From what he understood at first, nobody wanted this game. Not him, not the company and certainly not Captain America.

But overtime, there were some…business dealings and briefings, investments from the one and only Stark Industries and nearly four years later they had something. It wasn’t great, hell Rohan was just glad it was good and they had complete creative control, meaning the game actually could have some sort of genuine story or meaning behind it. At least as much as he could try in between missions of Captain America beating up HYDRA agents in a hyperrealistic sandbox of New York. 

Are we really doing this? That was the question Rohan first asked when they got approval to begin development and entered pre-production. Are we really doing this? He asked again when they had finished making the model of Captain America, the motion capture and voice work done by a man who had played him in the infamous Avengers musical.

Are we really doing this? It was the same question that he asked that morning.

The common ambience of the office with conversation and keyboard clacking had turned into something larger. It had become a storm of busyness and a business hard at work. Conversations were now the cacophonous rain of commands to staff and camera crew. Thunder was the heavy thud of sound and camera equipment as it was picked, pulled and moved around the office like new ornaments. Lightning were the glimpses Rohan got of their special guest. 

Captain America. 

In the flesh.

Instead of his other common appearances doing charity work or on missions, he was practically forced to do what a lot of celebrities had to do, sell out. Rumour had it the only way they convinced him to come to the office to shoot the interview was if he could make some pledge to charity. So that was how after months of scheduling, they finally had the one and only Captain America ready to come into a small office with Rohan Desai and have the two alone in a room for an interview as they played the game. 

I guess we’re really doing this. 

Rohan wondered why he was chosen besides being one of the leads. Perhaps it was because he was the opposite of Captain America in every way. The hero was tall, blonde and broad shouldered with enough strength to take out anyone in his way and an aura of confidence that could lead men into battle. Rohan was lanky, skinny, nerdy with bronze skin and curled black hair who was only good at leading people when it came to the office. And even then, he questioned if he was that good at it.

Apparently there was a reason the pair were put together, according to the director of the whole ordeal, they both just seemed ‘nice’. Nice, wholesome, a carefully curated picturesque pairing of two men with morals so the interview didn’t look so much like the promo that it actually was. Maybe that hunger for authenticity was why they were being left alone in a room together to ‘chat’ rather than have an army of a camera crew managing their every word, trying to get the perfect shot. 

“You ready for this?” came the familiar voice of another project lead. Rohan would have felt guilty for taking the man’s spot but despite him being more attractive and in line with a man who’d look good around Captain America. 

“Yeah,” Rohan lied, playing the role of someone having at least something resembling confidence. “It’s not that big of a deal.” Too much confidence, his mind warned suddenly like a computer error. “I mean it is- Don’t get me wrong- No like it totally…totally is, but I mean like- You know…I didn’t realise the whole office would have to move and uh…stuff.” 

“Yeah…” The project co-lead replied, echoing only Rohan’s first word like that was all he was listening to. “Well y’know the director says he wants it to feel genuine, not like an actual game studio. So you get the soundproof therapy room and everything, just y’know don’t actually call it the therapy room.” Rohan wanted to ask why and then realised he really didn’t want to get bogged down in the details. 

“Okay…so the interview and then-”

“Chat”, corrected the co-lead. “Then snap some photos and then Cap will probably stick around taking more selfies or autographs or whatever with folks. Look…I know you’re nervous.” 

“That’s…Yeah pretty accurate,” said Rohan.

“But look at it like this, you get to spend an hour with Captain freaking America. Playing the game that we busted our asses off and we know is good…”

“True…”

“And it’s pre-recorded. Anything weird happens or there’s some mistake, they can just edit it our, redo it, whatever.”

“Right…”

“So…my point is…” The co-lead smiled. “What’s the worst that could happen?” 

It had been something of an odd process, a social ritual playing out as people seemed to drag themselves away from Captain America’s alluring presence. Though they had trouble with their half glances and a couple snapshots on the phone, Rohan had to do the opposite. He felt as if he had to orbit the man, not knowing exactly when they were going to start filming. The camera crew was still busy and they had turned the ‘quiet room’ (a soundproof room nobody used that corporate decided to have if only to list as one of the company benefits) into a recording studio. 

A different couch had been pulled in and positioned against the far wall. A couple of plants had been taken from people’s desks to put around and add some greenery. A coffee table had been moved in hastily stacked with some water bottles and granola bars and a collection of different wires were hastily organised and hidden away beneath and behind the couch.

They had somehow turned a glorified storage closet into a makeshift talk show set. Warm neon lights cast a purple haze over it all and a television had also been moved in with all the right equipment to start up the game, a camera positioned in the corner to capture some of the gameplay, though Rohan knew most of it would be recorded from the console itself. 

The most surprising ornament of the room was the one that this was all for, Captain America. Unlike everyone else, the super soldier walked in with a casualness, an ease that contrasted with the panic and pressure of the crew around to try and get everything working and perfect and looking good all at the same time.

He had been busying himself chatting with some of the same crew and Rohan doubted it was about features he should mention or anything to do with the video. It looked more like he was just having a casual conversation. When Rohan first saw him up close, it was when he had already been sat down in the room as they did camera tests and soon Captain America had come in. 

The door opened without ceremony yet the effect was instant. Conversations clipped themselves short; the shuffling of cables slowed, as if everyone had suddenly remembered they were supposed to move gracefully. Captain America walked in. The hero stood in the doorway for a moment, one hand on the frame as if politely asking for permission before he could come in. The hallway’s cooler light haloed him from behind, a contrast to the warm, overworked neon of the room within. His frame was unmistakable: tall, broad shoulders and a shirt that stretched across his chest that would make any man envious of his pecs. Rohan felt a knot in his stomach, like all his nerves had bundled together and pulled taut suddenly. He swallowed dryly and was suddenly glad there was water nearby before Captain America’s eyes met his and he smiled, showing off some pearly whites as he stepped forward.

“Hi, Steve Rogers,” said Captain America as if he had any need to introduce themselves. He leaned forward slightly holding out his hand and Rohan shook his. 

“Rohan Desai, uh it’s an honour to meet you sir,” replied Rohan. He almost immediately regretted calling the man sir as soon as it tumbled out of his lips. Steve blinked and smiled wider. God I wish I was like him, Rohan thought as he felt a slight shiver at that. 

“You don’t need to call me sir,” assured Steve as Rohan nodded, ignoring the heat that was invading his cheeks as he swore he could only hear his heart drumming in his chest. “Honestly sometimes I wish I could be more like you guys who are so smart with all this coding and programming kinda thing.” Steve’s grip tightened slightly as he was shaking Rohan’s hand, feeling a slight shiver. “Oh sorry uh….So you’re the one I’m interviewing-” Steve stopped himself and laughed.

“Sorry uh doing the interview with, I get all tongue tied with this sort of stuff.” The man admitted as if the concept that Captain America, a man who was used to leading armies and stopped an invasion only a decade ago wasn’t absurd. Rohan just nodded, still too awestruck to say anything.

“We’ll be doing a bit of gameplay first, just to do a bit of a camera test and then we’ll go from there if that’s all good?” A voice, likely the director, sounded out from behind a camera and Steve nodded.

“Uh yeah that’s…whatever’s best,” stammered Rohan as he could already see some of the crew leaving. It seemed the pitch of a more close and intimate interview setting wasn’t solely for show. 

“Excited for it,” said Steve as he sat down finally, adjusting on the couch which sagged underneath his weight. “Have to admit, it’s great that a portion of this marketing budget gets to go to charity but…It is kinda interesting I guess, being able to go to an event and play a game about myself.” The hero’s enthusiasm was like gust in a heatwave. Rohan could feel himself relax, as Captain America’s looming presence was beginning to grow more comforting than intimidating. 

“Uh yeah I totally agree, I really appreciate it not just being a typical ad and uh we worked really hard on the game with quantum processing so we…” Rohan started and then smiled. “Sorry, rambling. I’ll save it for the video.” Steve chuckled.

“Sure, sure, so…should we get started?” Captain America glanced around at the remnants of the crew that were ready for the go ahead. They simply nodded and after a silent countdown, started the recording before the last people around quietly filed out. Rohan took a few deep breaths before glancing straight ahead toward one of the cameras.

“So hi everyone, I’m Rohan Desai, the director of Captain America Rising and with me is a very special guest…” Rohan started, glad that his voice wasn’t too shaky. Steve gave a wave and smile.

“And I’m Rohan- Sorry uh I’m Captain America and I’m happy to be with Rohan here playing Captain America Rising,” said Steve with a dazzling smile. The main menu booted up with an orchestral swell of strings and brass as a logo glowed across the screen. “Wow uh it looks pretty serious huh. I…” He blinked. “Well I definitely look a little more square jawed than I am and…is that the old suit?” Rohan chuckled.

“Uh yeah the art department wanted that kind of look and uh did use some generative facial composites,” replied Rohan as the game started to load up a save file for a mission to play. Everything had been set up perfectly. “So uh…you did visit the set I believe where the mo cap was taking place right?” Steve nodded.

“Yeah, yeah…it felt…kinda weird to see someone who looks a lot like me in a sort of tight suit doing my voice and such,” replied Steve as he shifted. They selected a co-op mode, one where one could play as Steve and another as Bucky Barnes. “Huh…weird I can’t play as Cap.” Steve chuckled. “That’s ironic.” Rohan frowned.

“That’s weird uh…well I can choose, but uh we can swap if you’d like?” Rohan suggested, holding up his controller in case the hero wanted to take it. 

“Oh no no no that’s fine,” laughed Steve. “Instead I’ll be playing as…well hey I’m happy to choose Bucky for now, I didn’t really know there’d be so many different heroes to choose though for co-op.” It was odd though, Steve thought. He assumed that he would be playing Captain America and that the developer would have been playing the other hero. But perhaps it made all the more sense for Rohan to be the one playing the titular hero. He knew the game best. “So uh I’ll be playing-”

“James Buchanan Barnes, best friend of Captain America and war hero,” started Rohan. Steve looked pleasantly surprised by the sudden answer. Rohan blinked. “Oh uh sorry yeah uh as Bucky Barnes, one of the newer members of the Avengers I believe.” Rohan blinked. He was a huge fan of Captain America but…how did he know the answer so suddenly? He didn’t mean to have taken over and straightened, assuming it must have just been his nerves taking over and wanting the video to go as smoothly as possible. 

“That’s right…uh looks like we’ve loaded in.” 

“Let’s go,” said Rohan with a sudden enthusiasm, wanting to show off his hard work. The two started off in a pre-selected mission in the open world of New York City where the camera swooped down from the skyline into a bustling digital Manhattan. Steam hissed from subway grates, detailed pedestrians moved with believable randomness and the ambiance of the city started to sound out. Before they knew it, a fight had broken out with some HYDRA agents in a warehouse and the two began to move in, with Rohan as Captain America tossing his shield and performing finishers whilst Steve struggled slightly with his aim as Bucky. “Oh uh so it’s important we work together on this part.” Rohan coughed, his voice sounding a little deeper for a moment there before he cleared his throat. 

“Got ya, got ya…the game looks really detailed it’s sort of scary, having grown up around black and white movies and all,” Steve said with a smile as the two of them quickly engaged in a quick time event. The both of them concentrated on the screen as the game prompted them to mash a button to move some debris out the way of a door. As Rohan began to mash, something strange began to happen. At first it was just a pressure, a swell beneath his skin. With each frantic press of the button, his sleeves began to strain.

His biceps slowly began to inflate and thicken, pushing against the fabric until the seams squealed. At the same time, it seemed that Steve was feeling as if his hands were growing weaker and slightly numb. A bronze tone began to take over his hands as dark hairs started to sprout over the back of his hand and trail down his arms where the muscles felt like they were beginning to shrink. It felt like the strength was being sapped away. 

Rohan didn’t seem to notice except the sudden wave of pleasure that he began to feel as he tensed his arms. Every shift, every adjustment in his seat, made the arms begin to stretch like they belonged on a larger body as he felt a tinge of euphoria that was just growing as he continued to adjust and feel his now much paler arms. 

“You doing okay there?” Rohan asked as he saw that on Steve’s screen he was having trouble doing the prompt as fast as he was. Steve could continue to feel like his arms had somehow grown weaker, slightly more numb and skinnier as dark hairs continued to trail down and cause them to itch. He wanted to look down but he felt like he could hardly break his gaze away from the screen.

By the time the prompt was over and both characters shoved the debris to the side, Rohan was laughing to himself and Steve smiled, albeit with a little more nervousness as he shifted with embarrassment. He just couldn’t get a handle on this kind of technology. At least that’s what he told himself to explain how he couldn’t do something as simple as a prompt to press a button over and over. 

“Uh yeah heh I don’t play a ton of games so I’m not sure,” started Steve, coughing and clearing his throat as he shifted in his seat. Played a lot of games? He didn’t have time for that sort of thing. He was usually on playing missions…right? He found his mind growing hazy as he tried to think, suddenly remembering the hours he got to let go and relax, playing some videogames instead of the list of movies, shows and books he had to read since he’d been frozen.

As they continued the mission, both the characters got in a vehicle with Rohan taking the lead in the driver’s seat. As they began a chase sequence, Rohan could feel himself naturally swerve the controller when they turned, straining his tight sleeves until-

RIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPP.

A small but sudden tear sounded out and Steve barely caught a glance of Rohan’s suddenly meaty and paler biceps in his shirt. “So you work out a lot then?”

“Oh no I prefer working out to video games,” blurted out Rohan. He didn’t mean to say that. He knew he didn’t mean to say that. Yet words were power, and as he spoke them, Rohan felt something seize inside him. His grin faltered, replaced by a grimace as he instinctively arched his back. His indie band shirt that once hung loosely on his skinny frame was suddenly one size too small, if for just a moment. The change began deep in his torso, his ribcage expanding as his skin prickled and continued to pale, bubbling as if his skin was the top of some boiling elixir.

He grunted softly, caught between shock and exhilaration, feeling each part of his spine stretch and realign as his body lengthened. He leaned back, suddenly taller on the couch as the hem of his shirt inched upward, betraying a strip of his stomach, no longer soft but tightening into ridges of muscle that flexed and defined themselves in real time.

He tried to tear his gaze away from the screen, tried to see what was happening, but it was impossible to ignore the hypnotic pull of the light around him. Whether it was the glint that caught Captain America’s shield or the neon beams of HYDRA enemies or the detailed lights of the city, Rohan blinked.

“I uh…No I…I uh…”

Rohan struggled, almost moaning as he could barely see his stomach gurgle and froth in the corner of his eyes. Any fat of his stomach melted away, slowly descending to nothingness as it became as visible as air, fading away. All the mass left was converting into muscle, beginning to carve itself and hardening like it was some liquid as Rohan couldn’t help but let a deep groan slip from his lips, mixing it with an exhausted grunt as his body did feel like that both exhausted and heavy.

His shoulder blades writhed under the fabric, expanding outward, stretching his shirt to its limits. Each shift sent another ripple down his torso, where abs carved themselves across his stomach. The paleness continued to crawl all over his changing body as a dusting of brown hair grew to form a treasure trail below his abs. 

“You okay there dude?” Steve asked as he tried to turn to look at Rohan. His mouth twisted into a frown of concern as he tried to check up on the man until he realised…he couldn’t remember their name. It began with an…S…something. Sanjit? Samir? But as he tried to focus, he felt a wave of nausea pass over him, like something was punishing him for not having his complete and total attention on the game. “W-What the heck is this game…”

As Steve looked back at the game, focusing and uncertain, his accent began to shift. His parted lips and widened eyes began to relax, giving off an almost slack expression as he stared at the mesmerising visuals of the game. “Game…looks…so…good…” Steve said in a murmur of a slightly higher voice that no longer sounded like his own. 

At the same time Steve could faintly recognize something happening to his body. At first it felt like the strength was leaking out of him, little by little, until the familiar density of muscle gave way to something looser. The shift was oddly natural, almost comforting, as though a weight he’d carried for years was being peeled away. His broad abs began softening into nothing, the scars from his time as a soldier and the super soldier experiment all beginning to fade away.

What had once been a frame carved by years of training was becoming lankier and softer in all the places that used to be sharp. The pale skin began to darken, first beginning as a faint warmth and then deepening to bronze as it smoothly crept down his body like ink spreading through water. The sleeves of his shirt slid against thinner arms dusted with the faint hair that hadn’t been there before. All the while his fingers stretched longer, growing softer and more delicate and gripping the controller with an anxious energy he didn’t recognize as his own. 

“Yeah the game looks so good, I’m…glad it uh…worked out…” said Rohan as he continued to stare. Steve blinked.

“Yeah worked out…No yeah I loved working on the game,” confirmed Steve as he grunted. He could feel his legs shrinking too, making him grow slightly shorter though with less muscles, he was beginning to seem more lanky than broad and tall. All the while Rohan could feel like air was being injected into his upper chest as his pecs began to swell, growing and inflating and making his nipples harden underneath the already tight shirt that could no longer cover the lower half of his stomach as he blushed and moaned. 

“No I…worked on the game I…was…a developer consultant,” replied Rohan as he blinked. Consultant? No he was the lead…lead…consultant after all, who would know Captain America best?

He wanted to say something, but that was when he felt something else inflate as if it was filling with air, causing him to grunt and sit up even higher as his cheeks began to grow. The pressure of the changes coiled in his hips and thighs as his legs tingled with the same pleasure and heaviness that was spreading across his body. His thighs pressed outward, stretching the fabric as they swelled with new density, every seam groaning in protest.

His calves grew, once spindly but now carved into powerful bastions of muscle as his ass continued to grow and grow. The couch sagged deeper as his glutes surged, rounding and hardening with a weight that felt both foreign and inevitable. Rohan could feel the denim split, hearing the faint pop of stitching as eat of his jeans tried and failed to contain what was now unmistakably growing to be…AMERICA'S ASS. 

“O-Oh my god…I…I…” Rohan would have squeezed his legs together in the past, like that could somehow stop the horniness that was invading his cock as his ass and legs grew paler and devoid of the usual dark hairs. His bulge was already growing next, half because he was harder than he had ever been before and half because his cock was growing from whatever forces was changing him.

“I had to do…so much work…for the game, really was a lot…”

Rohan added with a voice that wasn’t his own, one that was deeper and richer and sounded exactly like the voice that was coming from the game, the voice behind Captain America’s quips as a sharp pressure came at his feet. His toes pressed hard against the ends of his socks before finally tearing through, pale fabric ripping as his feet surged longer and wider. His toes stretched and spread as the soles expanded beneath him. The converses that he’d worn comfortably all day suddenly bulged at the seams, leather squealing under the new size and weight until it looked like they might split apart at any second.

“That…that doesn’t sound right, I’m trying to remember reading all about it,” mused Steve as his own voice had shifted completely to the slightly more higher pitched and nervous sounding tone of Rohan. He blinked, his eyes growing darker and hazier, already forgetting about the missions he had done for the past year and then the year before that and the year before that as all he could think about was the game.

“We’re over time but we shouldn’t stop, we’re nearly finished.” Steve scratched at his face as his fingertips no longer traced the familiar hard line of his jaw. His face was beginning to shift, His jawline, once sharp and square, softened under his touch.

The solid edge drew inward, narrowing into something more delicate, more angular. His cheeks followed suit, the fullness draining until they hollowed just slightly, reshaping his face into something that was longer as his eyes were suddenly adorned with thick glasses. The pale tone of his visage continued to shift, deepening shade by shade to match the rest of his body as his blonde hair darkened and grew longer, spilling out into dark messy curls over a higher brow. Steve blinked, unsure why he was so surprised, feeling his face…he was only 29 after all.

“Yeah…let’s not stop, we’re almost over-” and as Rohan leaned forward and continued to be mesmerised by the game, he was growing more and more infatuated with his character. He knew every detail of the suit, every move, every nuance of the character. But he blinked, blinked as his own glasses fell off his face as his nose shortened and disappeared before they hit the ground. His brown eyes turning blue as the pale tone that had reached his thickening throat was beginning to crawl over his jawline that suddenly widened and hardened. His hairline crawling back slightly as the dark curls receded into a natural slicked back blonde style whilst his features grew sharper and rougher and larger especially his growing lips as he blinked. Why wouldn’t he know his character? He was the character. He was Captain America. This was his game. “W-Wait…I think…”

But there was nothing to think about. The mission ended and just as Rohan and Steve looked at one another in shock and recognition, both their hard cocks throbbed at once and they had only the time for one thing and one thing alone; realisation. All before they suddenly felt their cocks throb in tandem and finally…release.

Their cocks spasmed violently, releasing in perfect sync, a shared climax as both their heavy moans suddenly filled the room as both bodies bucked. Rohan’s hips twitched as he was in Captain America’s muscular body with the hero’s hung cock between his legs spilling thick ropes of cum stained his clothes, pooling in his lap. At the same time Steve in Rohan’s body gasped as it felt like he was cumming for the first time in his life, the sweet bliss of pleasure rushing over him and making him forget everything for just a few moments as his own six inch cock twitched and come in his clothes.

“O-Oh god…w-what the-” Rohan in Steve felt his body, his face, his muscles. “W-What happened to me?!” Steve in Rohan panicked, gasping as he looked down at himself.

“N-no this can’t be-” 

But then came another climax, making both men forget their panic for just a moment as their minds were colliding and folding into one another. The decks of their lives shuffled amongst one another that it was hard to tell which piece was what. 

“M-my head…I keep remembering…battles and…and world war two and…Bucky and…god Bucky…” 

“N-No I don’t want to forget…” Steve in Rohan’s body moaned as he tried to hold on. But all the willpower was in the muscular hunky body that was once his own next to him. “O-Oh god I’m-” 

But their cocks twitched again and their old lives melted, dissolving into something else as Rohan Steve gasped as he came again one last time and Steve Rohan moaned as he couldn’t stop himself from doing the same. Rohan…or rather Steve was the first to move, blushing as he felt Steve Roger’s natural embarrassment for doing anything like cumming in public flare up whilst Steve or rather Rohan felt the same, but more out of natural awkwardness rather than dignity. Both the men’s eyes met.

“I’m…I’m you,” Steve said as he looked at Rohan and Rohan blinked.

“I’m you…but uh h-how? I…I can remember your life…fuck my head…”

“Swear,” both Steve and Rohan said simultaneously. 

“T-This is…this isn’t right. The game, we used quantum computing for the engine, I- I don’t know how this happened…”

The air remained thick, not just with the fading warmth of their lust, but with a quiet and almost sacred stillness that followed a transformation too bizarre to name. The both of them still somehow had their minds as they gazed at one another, the other in their body. It was such a bizarre feeling, as if looking in the mirror and realising that the reflection was blinking all on their own. 

But at the same time there was also a quiet thrill to it as the other looked down, prodded at their muscles (or lack of muscles), flexed a muscular bicep (or touched their skinny one) and felt their face, their new jawline and features. Both the men stopped as they realised what they were doing, almost mirroring each other in their inspections as they still managed to somehow keep their minds about them, even if it was fused with one another.

“I’m…you,” Rohan continued as he glanced down at himself and the massive muscles. In all honesty, he had never felt physically better and more mentally anxious than ever before in his life. It was as if the feeling he got from his runs on the treadmill or few times he decided to visit the gym had compounded and formed a permanent bliss that permeated his newer bigger body. 

But there was something else too, as if he was watching a movie, he could see the memories of Steve Rogers all the way from the 30s and 40s, the skinny young man who was even thinner than he was, unhealthily so, doing anything and everything he could to serve his country. Rohan blinked and had to admit, being in such a muscular body felt good, even if there was a strange balance, like he was scared if he took a step then he’d fall over. 

He felt Steve’s own earnestness, his confidence leaking into him and almost infecting him. 

“And I’m…you?” Steve said, still not used to his newer voice. In his mind, there was still a tenacity, one that reminded him of himself before he got the Super Soldier serum. It didn’t come in the form of a man trying to fight for his country, but instead just navigating the modern world and trying to make something of themselves. He could see the memories as far back, trying to save up to start a company, registering the LLC, working late nights out of his home. All the sacrifices and meetings and blood, sweat and tears that had not only gone into making this game but making anything of value. It was a far cry from being a soldier, but isn’t that the kind of world Steve wanted? Where people could prove their worthiness in different ways that didn’t involve war? It felt like watching someone’s life on TV or that site, Wikipedia that helped him understand so much of what he missed whilst frozen. Although he missed his body, the strength and muscles, he had to admit, there was a sort of relaxing feeling being younger and skinny again. But this wasn’t right. They had to swap back! “H-how did this happen?”

“I…I don’t know,” replied Rohan as he glanced down at himself in disbelief. “This…this feels…”

“Weird?” Rohan was pleasantly surprised to see Steve chuckle in his body. “Look you clearly didn’t do this on purpose so let’s just figure out a way to work together and…turn back.”

“Y-Yeah I can’t…I mean this is…I can’t actually be Captain America…and you can’t be stuck in some…” Rohan gestured at Steve in his old body. “Uh well we know who got the short end of the deal.”

“Hey let’s not…say stuff like that,” said Steve. Even now he was being so…nice even if he went through something that should have been shattering his reality, his sense of self, should have made him panic. But if they still had their minds, then they must clearly have some of their old mental traits as well. 

“Yeah…”

“Though I definitely felt like I was losing mine before. Now maybe it’s because we don’t know how this things work but I kinda get the sense that whatever this…thing is…” Steve gestured at the console.

“It’s true. You’re Captain America and I’m…uh…” Rohan glanced down at himself in the star spangled hero’s body. He tried to ignore how much the man’s pecs turned him on as he swallowed dryly. 

“I could’ve been put in a billion worse people, besides you’re not…bad. A lot of this is just confidence, that and highly risky untested serum.” Steve gestured at the muscular body Rohan was in as Rohan smiled at that, at least appreciative the hero was still, well, being a hero, trying to assure him everything was okay. “The way I see it…somehow we both still have our heads.” Steve gestured at the console.

“It was trying to mess with our minds. I have the serum that could’ve helped but you seemed to keep yourself…as you too. Maybe it says a lot more about you than you think…and good thing too, I don’t know enough about this thing even with your head to…fix whatever this is.” Rohan blinked at the man’s words as he considered them.

He had never even come close to thinking about it, but if the quantum computer could somehow change their bodies like it was code, it should have done the same with their mind, programming them as if they were caricatures, NPCs.

But it didn’t. They both managed to hold on. What did that say about the technology? And if it was meant to work and wipe their minds…what did it say about him? He blinked again.

He doubted that he was even half as attractive as the hero but there was something about seeing himself from another man’s perspective, the warped features he once hated in the mirror didn’t look…as bad from another person’s eyes. He blinked.

“Uh yeah your memories are…a lot,” Rohan half joked, not only were they heavy but there were so many of them reaching so far back. “N-Not that I’m complaining. I mean I don’t want to…uh…say your body is bad…but…I think maybe I shouldn’t look at them too much. Uh kinda an invasion of privacy and I wanna keep a hold of my mind.”

“Are you sure you can manage?” Even now, Steve in another man’s body was looking out for someone else rather than himself. 

“Yeah I’m sure I can do this all day,” said Rohan with an ease before he blinked. 

“What was that?” Steve questioned. “I…I don’t know, that just felt…uh sort of right saying but that’s your…”

“Catchphrase…not that I really intended on one but growing up in wartime you learn that slogans stick,” said Steve with a casualness. Rohan was relieved, as if he half expected Steve to be angered someone else was in his body and now saying his words. “So what’s gonna happen? Am I gonna start listing off…game engine…things?”

“Game engine things?” “Like how you used my words, am I going to suddenly start rambling about how quantum processing is actually a brilliant and efficient way to cut back on cut back on loading times, procedural generation overhead, and memory thrash- Oh…Oh fuck-” 

“Swear,” both Rohan and Steve said simultaneously again. 

“Okay, okay…maybe we just…calm down. And figure out how this happened and-” Rohan said, nervously pacing and fidgeting in Steve’s body.

“Alright relax, I’m not mad at you. Weirder things have happened to me…I get it,” said Steve with a slight smile, even now the way he spoke, the confidence leaked out even if it was in another body. “It was the game, something…” Then the man’s eyes widened with realisation. “The game!” Steve started as he sat up. “We need to fix this…if we can, uh we can get to Tony’s before he does what he does next.” “Does next?” Rohan in Steve’s body asked as he blinked.

“He hacked into your office to play a demo of the game. He told me he would He’s playing with Bucky right now.” 

“Oh…Oh no uh…” replied Rohan as he stood up awkwardly in the much taller and broader body than he was used to. “How do we stop them?” It was only then that he realised he had no idea, memories of programming and even the game’s engine having filtered out.

“I don’t know but I do know this…if that game gets into Stark’s servers and somehow mutates or gets shared then…”

Then a whole lot of men would suddenly find themselves swapping bodies or turning into Avengers, both Steve and Rohan thought to themselves. With no way to figure out the extent of it, no way to predict who transforms into who and no way to wonder what would happen if someone was playing alone? What if the game made clones of heroes? What if it recruited heroes, all with one transformation at a time? Steve and Rohan both glanced at each other and blushed, remembering the pleasure they shared, the mess they made and now the mess they may soon have to clean up.

Sooner or later, it seemed every man who got their hand on the game could get a body to marvel. 

Rohan just wondered…does that mean he had to wear the suit?
