Matthew Maximilian relaxed on a bed of spikes while he waited for Hank to finish setting up all of his tools.
"Hey man are you even comfortable over there?" Hank called over to him.
"Surprisingly, yes. I know I'm laying on these things but they aren't even scratching my skin."
"Cool. So we officially have a starting point on your durability."
"That was on purpose wasn't it?"
"You know it." Hank replied as he finished setting up all of the tools he'd brought with him on the tables they'd lined up. "So which one do you want to start with first?"
"Hmmm...lets start with the bat and then go from there."
"Right on." He grabbed the metal bat and tossed it into the air, caught it, and pointed it at Matt. "Whenever you're ready bro."
The towering young man smiled and got up from the spike bed and hopped up to his feet. He casually walked over to the center of the warehouse and spread his arms out to welcome Hank's challenge. "Hit me with your best shot!"
These two young men were practically titans in their own right. Their bodies had been sculpted and built up into solid walls of muscle from their years of exercise and fitness centric lifestyles even before Matt received his powers. Now, Hank, a young man at the peak of physical health, was about to test his muscle and tools to find out just how strong his best friend had become since the meteor explosion. He ran towards him like lightning, leaped high into the air and brought down the bat on Matt's head. There was a loud echoing clanging sound that echoed throughout the warehouse and the bat bent, crumpled and deformed against Matt's head but he didn't even flinch! Hank landed on his feet and looked at the broken bat. "Wow."
"You good?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. How about you?"
"Just fine!"
"Cool." Hank lowered his hands and walked back over to the table, set down the bat, and then retrieved a heavy sledgehammer! "Alright! Test #2!" He told him as he walked back over to him, took a few practice swings, and then he reared back with the sledgehammer and then he swung the massive hammer into Matt's chest as hard as he could! There was another massive booming impact from the collision but the head of the sledgehammer crumpled and broke against his chest. Hank took a few steps back and looked at it in surprise and then he looked back at Matt. "Still good?"
"Still good! Keep it coming man! Lets have some fun with this!"
"Alright. Bet then." Hank returned the broken hammer to the table and then came back with a Katana.
"Awwww yeah! Now we're talking! Bring it on!"
Hank smiled and dramatically drew the sword, raised it up, gripped it with both hands, and then he rushed Matt and slashed at him with the sword downward across his torso only for the Katana to snap off and break against his skin. Matt was once again left unharmed. He looked himself over and then laughed. "Hot damn! Are you seeing this? Are you seeing this right now? I don't even have a scratch!"
Hank laughed with him. "Oh man this is freaking amazing!"
"Come on Hank! What else you got? Come on! What else?"
"Alright, alright, I have a more ideas."
They tested all manners of tools on Matt. From a high powered nailgun that just bounced off of him, to a diamond tipped minature electric saw that broke on him, to even a jackhammer on his back! None of it worked! All of it just ended up breaking on him!
Hank returned his last took to the table and ran his fingers through his dark hair. "Everything's busted....but I still have something else we can test."
"What is it?"
"Wanna see if you're fireproof?"
"Oh hell yeah! Bring it on!"
-
Hank finished gently and carefully pouring the gasoline on Matt's arms and then he took a few steps back and lit up a match. "Alright bro, are you ready? I've got the Extinguisher right here if you need it."
"I'M READY BRO, DO IT!"
Hank flicked the match at him the fumes from the gasoline were set aflame by the match causing flames to erupt from Matt's forearms and travel up his arms.
"OH SHIT! SHIT! Hey, hey are you okay?"
Matt stared at his burning arms for a moment before he burst out laughing. "I DON'T EVEN FEEL IT! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!" He replied while waving his arms around. "THIS IS AMAZING MAN! WHOOOOO!"
"Are you serious right now?"
"I'm serious! I'm not even hurt! Go ahead and spray me! I bet I won't even have a scratch!"
"Alright, alright, here it comes!" Hank replied and walked over to Matt and sprayed him down with the extinguisher until the flames finally died down. Matt walked out of the mist and held his arms out.
"Take a look."
Hank walked over to his best friend and looked over his arms. Just like Matt predicted he didn't have a scratch. The young men burst out laughing together.
"This is freaking incredible Matt! Do you realize what this means? Do you?"
"Oh I know what exactly what it means! I'm A Powered now! I'm a Meta! I'm a Superhuman! I'M A FREAKING SUPERHERO! We've got to keep testing this Hank! We've got to find out exactly how far I can go!"
Hank looked around the warehouse. "Well it's safe to say we've tested your Durability as much as we can so far...so the next thing we should test is your Physicals. Help me back up and we'll head out to the Quarry. I have a few ideas for what else we can test."

 Andrew Morrison breathed a sigh of relief as he sees that Matt is okay. The test to him was tense but there’s satisfaction in that Matt wasn’t hurt. “ I believe the correct term is Chimera. At least that’s what scientist are calling it now. “ Updates the testing into his phone and put it in his pocket. He walks over to Matt in place to hand on his arm, feeling the muscle underneath. “ Phasing” His older brother Hank tased “ oh be quiet this is only for research. so do you feel anything I mean, do you feel any different than you were before?” |

He walks over to Matt in place to hand on his arm, feeling the muscle underneath. “ Phrasing” His older brother Hank tased “ oh be quiet this is only for research. so do you feel anything I mean, do you feel any different than you were before?” "Honestly? It's weird. I feel lighter yet...at the same time? Stronger, denser, more powerful than ever before but aside from that? No real difference. My muscles are amazing as ever and my body is like solid steel now. But it's weird, right? After that whole cocoon fiasco I really should be looking way weirder than this, right? As it is, Superpowers aside, I just came out of there a bit taller and buffer." - The Cocoon Fiasco was certainly one way to describe the aftermath of The Meteor Explosion. When that weird ass meteor came down from the Serenity City sky and exploded it unleashed a wave of energy and gas over the city. Most people were left unaffected, just surprised or slightly inconvenienced by the lightshow, but there were also those in the city who were significantly effected. As far as everyone could tell? Everyone affected by the explosion had been Powerless beforehand, but a few days after the explosion they began feeling sick and nauseous and had to be collectively bedridden. Shortly after that they began rapidly heating up and mutating as a sickening disgusting mutagenic substance was emitted from their body which hardened into bizarre bio-organic cocoons around their body which solidified soon after. Matt couldn't speak for anybody else but he knew that he at least was either asleep or completely unconscious afterword, until the chrysalid finally cracked itself open and he fell out of it. After his friends and family got him cleaned up from the disgusting goop still left on his body, they discovered that Matt at least was still human. At least externally. He was a little bit taller and his muscles had bulked up, but other than that he was still human. Matt and the other Metored Chimeras were kept under examination by those Paladin guys in the Hazmat Suits for a while before being let go. Matt's powers began developing shortly after and he'd called up his bros to help him test them out.* - "Thank God for that, right?" Andrew asked. "That mutation was practically unprecedented outside of Insectoid Chimeras and they usually come out of those with some weird further mutations." "Yeah...and yet, I've got the Brick Package. I guess Lady Luck was on my side that night. What about the other Meteos? Any news?" - *WE'RE INHUMANS UP IN HERE! |
