Yes, too small for clothes

Chapter 9

Lonnie blacked out and as he came to and picked himself up off the ground his bathroom was indeed huge, and everything looked strange. Lonnie could see in every direction all around him.

Except he was not himself at all. He had mechanical-looking bug wings on his back, blue skin, antennas on his head, and an extra set of mechanical arms in addition to his two blue ones that had pinchers for his hands.

“Are you seeing this Lonnie?” Tony’s voice said from a speaker on Lonnie’s chest.

“Yezz I seeezz it,” Lonnie said with some difficulty as his mouth no longer seemed made for talking.

“Dude it’s like a computer in here, a computer that responds to my every thought and you are not going to like what it is saying. It says we have been merged into a combination of that bug man you drew and the mechanical bugs I was drawing for our comic book.” Tony said.

“But thozzzz aren’t realzzz.” Lonnie protested.

“Well, it, or rather we are now. Kind of a dumb thing to transform into if you ask me, we are too small to save anybody except maybe some ants. Some powers are better than others, but I always thought I would be happy with any power. I guess I stand corrected. Here let me activate our wings so you can fly us up to your mirror so we can get a look at ourselves.”

The fly-man’s mechanical wings started fluttering at a tremendous speed sending the cybernetic creature into the air. Lonnie willed his body to fly toward the mirror and his body responded instantly. As Lonnie approached the mirror, he switched to hover mode and took a look at the creature that stared back at him in the mirror. The creature had composite eyes which explained Lonnie’s incredible field of vision almost a full 360 degrees all around him. His mouth or mouth parts in no way resembled a human’s mouth to the point that Lonnie was surprised he could talk at all.

“Wow, that is a face that only a mother could love. Tony said his voice emanating from a speaker integrated into a metal plate that also seemed to have a couple of cameras and other sensors built into it. The metal plate sat within an otherwise normal-looking human chest, normal except for its blue color The fly man was naked and fairly human looking over all except for its head claw-like hands and feet, and spikes protruding from the back of his forearms, and lower legs. Except for of course the extra mechanical set of arms and the mechanical wings protruding from his back.

“Itzzz yourz face as well Tony.” Lonnie said as his mouth parts morphed into a normal human mouth and nose albeit with compound eyes and mechanical antennae above that human-looking nose and mouth.

“Hey, how did you do that?” Tony asked, “Can you make us I don’t know like 100 times bigger and two separate people again?”

“I don’t know how I did it and I am trying but I don’t even know how to begin,” Lonnie said. “But Tabitha might.”

“Tabitha, how would she be able to help us?” Tony asked surprised.

“She’s a meta. She was using some kind of energy power and she waved her hands and the curtains shut and we went flying into each other and turned into this. It can’t be a coincidence.” Lonnie insisted.

“Wait she did this?” Tony said surprised, “I know you guys are no longer besties since she spied on you naked, but you are still totally crushing on her and are completely obsessed with her why would she do this to you? Are you fighting and you didn’t tell me? Besides what has she got against me? She met my twin sister and became best friends with her because of me and our friendship.”

“I don’t think that she did it on purpose. She didn’t really seem that she had a lot of control over her power, and I sort of surprised her.” Lonnie said as he flew over to the closed bathroom door. “Oh, and I am not obsessed with her, yes she is cut, and I still care about her as a friend and all but that does not make me obsessed.”

“Keep telling yourself that as you talk about her every ten minutes and obsess about everything she does.” Tony shot back.

“Whatever!” Lonnie said angrily. “How are we going to get through this door? The doorknob is like ten times our size?”

“These robot arms have something called a tractor beam function which if I am understanding how it works, should allow us to manipulate the door handle and pull the door open assuming the beams are strong enough,” Tony replied.

“Let’s give it a try then,” Lonnie said. It took several tries for the boy’s to successfully turn the door handle and pull the door open using the robotic arms' tractor beams. The fact that Tony controlled the robot arms while Tony controlled the rest of the fly-man’s body including the speed and direction of its flight only further complicated the process.

“Hey, look at my curtains.” Lonnie exclaimed, “They are no longer two separate pieces of fabric they have been merged together into one big curtain over my entire window. Tabitha was shutting the curtains when she zapped us.”

“So?” Tony asked.

“So they are merged just like us, this is further evidence that it was Tabitha’s power that did this to us.”

“No your curtains are still curtains, we are a freaking cyborg bug-man the size of a fly, it’s not the same thing at all!” Tony exclaimed exasperated.

Lonnie flew underneath the combined curtain, noticing but not mentioning that the window also seemed to be merged into the wall. Luckily the window’s broken glass panes provided a means of escape since Lonnie doubted their tractor beams could have budged the window.

The boys flew out Lonnie’s window just in time to see Tabitha getting into Tony’s sister Anna’s car.

“My sister is already here to pick Tabitha up; pour on the jets we can’t lose them!” The cybernetic fly man accelerated to a speed far faster than any true fly could muster. The bug man darted inside the car through the shrinking gap of the closing car door.

“Ewww, a fly just flew in Anna said wrinkling her nose in disgust.

“Anna,” “Tabitha” “We’re not a fly” “It is Tony and Lonnie” “Help us!” The boys shouted at once.

“Oh sorry, my powers can take care of that,” Tabitha said and with a wave of her hand, the boys were flung back against the back seat of the car and pinned against it by an unseen weight. “There it’s gone.”

“Well even if you never realize your dream of becoming a costumed hero at least those crazy powers of yours are good for something.” Anna joked.

“Yeah, about that there is something I have to tell you about them,” Anna said shyly.

“Yeah, what is it you know you can tell me anything. I haven’t told anyone about your powers, not my parents or even my brother who would completely geek out if he found out someone, he knew had powers.” Anna said as she pulled away from the house.

“Well, I sort of took that costume I have been making out for a spin last night...” Tabitha started.

“You what!” Anna interrupted. “I thought we agreed that we would take this slowly! Test your powers and perfect your control over them.

“Yeah, it's kind of too late for that,” Tabitha said meekly as images filled the car and somehow seemingly appeared larger than the actual space within the car. Images of what had transpired the night before. The **** attacking the young woman and Tabitha stripping him naked with her powers and delivering him to the police. “I sort of saved someone for real last night, but I was attacked.” Images of the armored troopers filled the car as well as Tabitha stripping them naked and sending them floating down to the ground.

“Wait no way! That was you! They were on the news this morning. Two naked guys floating in the air slowly descending down to the ground. They were still up in the air this morning. There was a whole crowd of people on the street watching and of course, the news crews were there. They blurred out their goods unlike you, but they had a video of the whole thing. They called out the fire department to go up on their ladders and pull them down. The news said that once they were on the ground, they stopped floating but while the fireman were pulling them down they said they felt like weightless balloons.” Anna said. The Asian girl said her eyes wide as she looked intently at the images and completely ignored the road prompting Tabitha to take over the driving of the car with her powers. Anna didn’t even comment as a disembodied hand made of pink energy appeared on the steering wheel, she simply surrendered control to it taking her hands off the wheel and moving her legs apparently similarly surrendering control of the pedals as well. Obviously, the girls must have practiced with Tabitha’s powers before for Anna to trust her precious car which she had bought with her money from the family restaurant to a floating hand.

“Well, I am glad they got to the ground safely. I honestly forgot about them because my powers took me to their home base.” Images filled the car of the shower and all the naked men it contained and Tabitha’s skirmish and flight from the naked men. “They chased me through their base until I came across a boy, a man they were experimenting on.” An image of a well-endowed young naked man in a fluid-filled glass tube appeared. “It turns out that he was an artificially grown child of Metallic Man complete with his powers.” An image of the young man in his naked metal form appeared as well as an image of him holding another naked guy by the throat. “Oh, but the best part was CyberSquire was there, and he is just as dreamy as I imagined him.” All the images disappeared and were replaced by new images. An image of CyberSquire in his full armor, an image of Tabitha stripping him out of that armor. Several images of him in various ENM poses covering his penis with his hands as well as several images of his naked behind. The images showed their battle with the troopers, Tabitha rescuing him from Metallic Man’s offspring when he grabbed the naked CyberSquire by the throat, their hasty escape on the bike generated out of his armor, and their stay inside the cloaked tent.

Most prominently of all the images however was a single image that showed a full head to toe full frontal image of the hero known as CyberSquire standing naked in an alley his hands at his sides and definitely not covering his fully exposed penis like they had been covering in all the other images of his naked front. Anna let out a gasp at the site of the attractive young man and in an admiring tone of voice said. “Wow I see now why you are so obsessed with him, and you’ve written all those ENM fantasy stories about him. He is quite a hunk of a man! I may need to re-read some of those stories now that I have a face and body to go with them.”

Tabitha took her eyes off the road and gasped at the full-frontal image of her hero and now friend. “I didn’t mean for you to see that!” Tabitha exclaimed as she reached out and tried to cover the image's penis with her hand, before thinking better of it and trying to reach up and cover his face instead. Her powers would have none of it as close-up images of his face from the other images merely appeared all around the full-frontal nude image.

“Uh I hate to break it to you, but you already exposed his handsome face in all the other images you showed of him. It was only that impressive bit of man meat between his legs that had remained hidden and well now that cat’s out of the bag too.” Anna said laughing.

“Ah man, Richie is going to kill me,” Tabitha said miserably. “It hasn’t been even a day and I have already exposed his identity and well everything else.”

“Wait his name is Richie!” Anna exclaimed as Tabitha slapped her own forehead with her hand in disgust.

“Dude that guy is almost as hung as the MettalicMan clone. I don’t think Tabitha’s memories of you naked as a child are going to compete with that. Maybe you should let her see you naked again so that she can see you are all grown up, not that you are as big as him.” Tony said from the boys’ place pinned to the back seat.

“I am almost as big as him.” Lonnie protested. “And I am definitely bigger than you!”

“Hey, I am bigger than the other Asian guys I have seen naked!” Tony shot back.

“Exactly, you are above average from what I can tell, and I am bigger than that!” Lonnie proclaimed triumphantly.

“Maybe you are Donnie Big Dick, but you are not competing with me for the naked guy-obsessed female’s attention you are competing with the hero with the second largest penis I have ever seen,” Tony said emphasizing Richie’s comparative size.

Lonnie started to protest but then sighed in defeat, “Your right how can I compete with a real-life superhero with all those massive muscles and other things...”

“Not other things, other thing as in his thing.” Tony offered.

“I get it!” Lonnie snapped.
