Training Arc (A,S)

Ava and Stella found their way down the steps of the athletic complex. Ava had wanted to practice controlling her Roid Rage before the challenge started, and so they’d found the weight room to get an easy way to activate the transformation. Stella had come with to make sure that nothing went wrong, but was still unsure about her ability to help.

“Are you sure you don’t want to wait until Luna or Felicia are here to help, after how last time went? If we wait until tomorrow, then they both would be here to help if something goes wrong.”

Ava opened the door of the weight room behind her to let in her less confident friend ahead of her. “All you really need to do is text someone if I look like I’m in trouble. I’ll try to talk through what’s happening. If something does happen that upsets you, then just hide in the hall while you wait for whoever shows up.” She understood where Stella was coming from and wished she could wait for someone else to avoid putting all this pressure on her, but if she failed today she had two more opportunities to try tomorrow.

“Alright. I’ve got the text menu ready, just in case. How did you want to try this?” Stella looked around the weight room, unfamiliar with most of the machines. She recognized a bench for doing bench presses (Is that the plural?). There was a rowing machine, and the right wall was taken up by a row of dumbbells. The rest of the machines there she didn’t recognize.

“I was thinking that I might use something like the chest press. If I can get it to trigger, then I’ll already be sitting down.” Ava gestured to one machine along the back wall, which had a cushioned chair in the middle. Two small handholds were on either side in front of the chair, with tethers connected to a set of flat metal slabs to adjust the weight. Ava sat down in the seat, stretching to warm up. “I usually can top out on this machine around a hundred and sixty pounds, so I’ll start lower as a warm up and then work my way up.”

“Is there anywhere you want me to be?” Stella asked.

“You can sit or stand by the door.”

Stella stood at the door, running her thumb down the pink fur Genet had put on her phone case. She’d borrowed another tank top from Luna for the day. Watching Ava take her jacket off and stretch, she couldn't help comparing her and her friend’s arms.

After Ava got done stretching, she set the machine to a hundred pounds. She felt the strain of the first few reps, but as she finished the set it only seemed to get easier. She kept going up, barely feeling any change in difficulty as the weight climbed up to one-fifty. Sure she could feel the difference, but she wasn’t getting any strain from more reps.

“Has it kicked in yet?” Stella asked from the door.

“Not yet. I should be able to once I hit a few one-sixty reps.”

But it didn’t. Ava realized as she powered through a full set that Energizer was interfering with Roid Rage again. Hesitantly disregarding what she knew about gym safety, she added three more plates to bring it up to two-twenty. She pushed, straining against the machine until her transformation suddenly kicked in.

Luna’s collected lust from the past couple days crashed down her like a hurricane. The metal handles of the chest press machine crunched in her grip.

Stella rushed over. “What happened? Is it starting?” She held her phone, waiting in case Ava needed help.

“Do you remember the feeling I mentioned on day two, the nice one that stayed after you guys helped me fight the paranoia?”

Stella nodded.

“It’s back now, and it’s so much stronger. It feels like I’m on fire, and I can barely think. I don’t understand what’s happening. There’s a lot of feeling down there, but there shouldn’t be. It doesn’t hurt, and my period was last week. I- wow, what’s happening?”

It seemed like Ava had forgotten about when Luna explained her transformation. “I think this is Touch Base. Luna said that she’s been needing to take care of herself throughout the week to manage it. Maybe you could try that?”

“How?”

How? What a question. Stella decided to call it in. She sent a text to Luna, asking if she could come and help. It was her transformation, so she’d be good at guiding Ava through it. She took off her shoes and socks to steady herself as she listened to Ava’s gasps.

A minute passed, then two. Luna usually responded almost immediately. Maybe her and Richard are doing something? That’d explain how strong it feels to her. Since Luna wasn’t available she skipped Richard and tried Felicia. She got a response, but it was as confusing as it was helpful:

Dick made me go to the mountain with him. It might be an hour or two before we get back. Ava’s not usually comfortable with something like that, so I’d recommend breathing exercises and a cold shower to help calm her down. I’m sorry I can’t be there, but maybe Hazel could help?

If Richard is with Felicia, what’s happening with Luna? This was getting weird. She was out of friends, so she decided to try Hazel like Felicia had recommended. The reply came quickly.

I’m coming back from the temple with Felicia. I can head over once we’re back, but I assume you will need something sooner. Let me know if you need any help, I can try to give advice over text. Do you know what she’s comfortable with?

Stella looked over at Ava, writhing in the chair as she bent the metal of the machine further. She quickly shot a reply back.

I don’t know what she’s comfortable with. Why are you at the mountain, I thought she went with Richard and Luna?

The reply came back:

I’m pretty sure Mr.Turner and Luna are together. The temple that Genet warned us about messed with both of our minds, Felicia got it worse than me. To help me get her home, Genet did something to get her to treat me like Mr.Turner. She’s been cooperating and asked me to carry her, but the negging is a bit much. We should be around in maybe ninety minutes but you can text if you want advice.

Stella knew not to go to the temple then, if that’s what it could do. She tried Maeve next, but struck out there.

I’m sorry, I wish I could help you both. I’m working with Aubrey and it’d be damaging to leave her right now.

Who was left? Nervous about bothering his sister but running out of options, she sent Helena a message and immediately got back an error:

Message Could Not Be Sent. Recipient is Out of Range.

Stella didn’t even know that could happen. “No one’s coming.” She apologized to Ava. I haven’t tried Richard yet, but I’ve got a feeling he’s with Luna and she couldn’t respond. I’m sorry, my only job was to get someone better for the situation and I can’t.”

“Can you help?” Ava asked through panting breaths.

“Are you sure?”

An hour ago, Ava had wanted to avoid overwhelming her friend. But now she felt like her friend could handle it, maybe better than she was. “You talked about Luna managing this, right? Do you know how?”

“I think she’s been masturbating…”

“Can you show me how?”

Can I show you? Sometimes Ava was way too direct. “Do you remember anything from health class in high school?”

“No, I… skipped it.”

“Oh.” Given how many times she’d seen Luna change her clothes mid-day, she felt doubtful she was using cold showers. “You’re sure you want to do this?”

“I trust you.”

I guess we’re doing this. “Alright, I’ll grab one of the towels over at the door to put over the seat. Take off your sweatpants at least, though you can go farther if you want.”

She helped Ava spread out the towel as the trainer took her pants off. We’re really doing this then. “Can I make a weird request?”

“What is it?”

“I’ve never done something like this before. Can I take my shirt off to focus better?”

Ava nodded, then gasped as she watched Stella start to undress.

“What?” Stella asked, covering herself defensively.

“I don’t know. It felt kind of exciting?”

“Oh.” Stella said, relaxing her arms. ”You’ve never told me that you were bisexual? Or are you pan?”

“I didn’t think I was either. I think that could have been Luna’s influence?” Ava speculated. Genet’s explanation was finally starting to make sense. The paranoia she’d felt on day two. The mood swings on the evening of her “date”. Everything she was feeling now. “I think it’s starting to get easier to tell what’s me and what’s Roid Rage.”

“That’s good.” Nodded Stella. Despite the insanity of the situation, she was as cool as a cucumber. “”Do you still want me to talk you through… managing this?”

“Please, I don’t know what I’m doing.”

“Then spread your legs, and follow my directions.

Use your fingertips and just run them down your body gently. Start with something you’re used to touching, then run down.”

Ava quietly started with her abs, following directions.

“Go past your stomach. I usually try to move quickly here, but you can take as much time as you need. Trace around your inner thigh without going further there. Then come back up.”

Ava did as she was instructed, touching her thighs with charged breaths before forcing herself to hear her fingers away.

“Move your hand back up and over your chest. I think some people prefer one over the other, but try squeezing your breast and pulling at your nipple.”

As she peeled her shirt up, Ava felt herself leaking into the towel. This was helping, but she needed more.

“Take your other hand and go back to your thigh. Put more pressure down as you get closer. “

Ava could barely listen as she approached her first orgasm.

“Take two fingers and slip them into your folds. If you think you can handle more, then try letting your thumb graze over your clit.” Stella’s voice was smooth, still handling the situation as she was being asked.

The machine groaned as Ava leaned back and reacted to her own exploration, planting her feet into the floor. She was pretty sure Stella was talking, but she didn’t need to listen anymore as she eagerly embraced her transformation. As she reached the precipice, she felt like she was on another world.

As she came back to earth, she felt herself dripping onto the towel. Stella had gotten dressed while she was busy.

“Hey. Thanks for that. I think it’s satisfied now.”

Stella looked at her, looking a little uncertain now. “Of course. You needed help, and no one was coming. But can you try not to tell anyone about this?”

“Agreed. No one needs to find out about this.”

Stella asked another question, after a moment of hesitation. “Do you think you’d be able to show me how to get my arms like yours?”

The trainer looked at the mangled machine around her. “Yeah. I might need to use one of the showers down the hall first, but I can help. Given what I did to this thing, we might need to use the dumbbells instead. I want to warn you though, it’ll be slow going and tough for a while. Will you be alright with that?”

“I’d like to try?”

“Good.” The strongest woman on the island said. “Then give me time for a shower and I’ll guide you through some intro exercises.”
