Big workout, BIG results.

The next few hours were… Interesting to say the least. Greer could only shake her head in disbelief while staying with Susan Storm trying out exercise equipment at the gym. They had tried the tread mills, bicycles, medicine balls and several weight tension exercise booths. All of them were tested to their limits by the blonde woman who with every passing second was breaking so many records held in the gymnasium even some of the largest gym rats had to scratch their heads at what they were seeing going on.

Standing back, Greer watched on while Susan laid on a weight bench, being her spotter while Susan Storm lifted a weight bar that was now being reset with even more weights. Her workout had gathered quite a crowd now that she was getting into the zone. Looking around her, the tiger woman could see the rest of the gym patrons whisper in surprise, unable to look away from what they were watching. Hugging herself, Greer’s tail flitted back and forth as she watched her friend lift a new set of weights… All of them!

Before, Susan had tried out a simple rep of 100 pounds, only to claim it was too easy. Then 150, then 200, then 250 pounds, every time she lifted the bar, she showed no more effort then the last series of weights she lifted. Standing two feet from the bench and absolutely stunned by the sight, Greer Grant watched as Susan lifted what had to be over 500 pounds of iron with the same effort as if she were lifting tissue boxes. “Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…” Not even breathing hard, or sweating from the effort, Susan lifted again and again. The look in her eyes were absolute focus as she drove herself forward and kept lifting again and again. “Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one…” For Susan, each work out seemed to clear her head, distracting her from the gnawing ache in her stomach, which reared its ugly head whenever she stopped, so she did not. Repeatedly she worked out with heavier weights or maximum resistance to all the machines she tried, but each machine she tried out was not a challenge to her at all if anything things were getting easier. “Forty, forty-one, forty-two…” If she could keep this all up, she might be able to get her sudden appetite out of her system, but not being able to find a challenge was starting to make her irritable. “Forty-eight, forty-nine, FIFTY!” bringing the weight bar back onto its holster, Susan sat up from the bench to find herself surrounded by 30 gym patrons applauding and cheering her after her little show.

Looking up from her seat, the pale blonde looked around with a little surprise, she did not realise she had garnered a crowd from her workout. Seeing Greer approach, her with an outstretched hand to help her up, Susan smiled a toothy grin and stood up with the woman’s assistance. “Suzie! Do you realise what you did?”

“Lifted a bunch of tin plates, personally I thought it was a little light, is there any more weights to add?”

“Weights?! Girl the bar was fitted to capacity, you just did FIFTY reps of 500 pounds!!!”

Blinking in surprise, Susan turned to look over her shoulder to see the weight bar for what it was as if for the first time. Now realising what she had been doing for the last few minutes, she too became surprised by her strength. “Wow, I did that?” Still taken back, Susan shook her head and looked back at her friend with a surprised grin. Getting her towel, she was oblivious to the fact the bench had none of her sweat on it or that she looked fatigued in any way. The moment she cleared the bench, another weightlifter took her place and audibly struggled to lift the 500-pound weight set, not even being able to budge the thing before he asked to shed weight off.

“Huh, guess it’s a little harder for some than others huh?”

Giving her friend another look, Greer thought she was seeing things. “Hey Suzie, did you get taller?

Blinking back at the tiger woman, Susan Storm looked down at herself and made a face of confusion. She did not feel any different save for the growl in her stomach. But to Greer, the changes were FAR too obvious to ignore. Before hand, the two women could see each other eye to eye, but now Susan had to have grown 3 inches taller in the last 4 hours alone. Not only that, all the extraneous workout may have been ‘easy’ to Susan, but it certainly effected her body. Long toned legs, muscular thighs and broad hips and a firm heart-shaped rear tapered off to a narrow waist sporting firm abdominal muscle, a heaving chest with a top that looked skin-tight over her larger breasts, coupled with now broader shoulders and firm arm muscles that bunched and tensed when Susan struck a pose with a hand at her hip and her hand combing through the front bangs of her hair. In the span of just those four hours, Susan Storm had turned herself into a pale skinned amazon woman! But that was another thing that worried Greer, Susan looked almost sickly pale, like she hadn’t been out in the sun for months, her hair which was a golden blond looked almost bleach white leading up the tips of her hair half way up to her scalp, almost like a crude dye job. Not only that, her eyes looked… Red. Not blood shot, no, more like the ocean blue of her irises were losing their vibrant colour and being replaced with a pinkish hue. If Greer did not know any better, it almost looked like Susan was going albino.

“Suzie, are you feeling alright?”

“I’m feeling GREAT actually, never better, why?” Susan answered defensively, flexing her arm, and smirking at the chorded muscles of her arm bunch up.

“Well… You look so pale, are you sick? Do you have a fever?”

Checking her forehead, Susan’s lip twitched when she did not feel warm to the touch. What she DID feel was hungry, especially after a workout like the one she had. No, I feel fine…” Suddenly her stomach growled again, this time loud enough for both women to hear, making the pale blonde blush before turning her attention back to Greer with a shy smile. “Say do you want to get a bite to eat? I’m STARVING!”

Making their way out of the gymnasium proper after getting changed and over to the day care to pick up little William and head over to a small food court adjacent to the local gym. Greer and Susan ordered at a pizza parlour and managed to find a table at the food court. Tigra had ordered a single cheese pizza slice for herself and her son, snipping the slice into small bite for her son to eat. Susan had ordered a meat lover’s pizza with extra pepperoni and a diet coke to wash it all down. But when she started to eat, she ATE! Folding a slice of pizza heaping with meat toppings, Susan took her first bite and moaned in delight. Her senses lighting up at the sweet flavour of crisp bacon, seasoned pepper meat and spicy sausage before swallowing it all down. One slice quickly became two, then three, then four. Already halfway done her medium sized pizza with no signs of stopping save to take a sip from her drink and dap her lip with a napkin. Her dress pants and flowing blue button blouse looked tight on her, but not because she was bloated, FAR from it really! The exercise at the gym had swollen her physique and curves so much she looked like she was wearing clothes several sizes too small. She even had to undo the top three buttons to her blouse to let her chest breath lest they had burst open anyway. But apart from that, she had no signs of any fat on her body in any way… Despite eating a medium meat lover’s pizza all to herself.

“Wow girl, where do you pack it all?”

Shrugging from the question, Susan continued to eat her meal, nothing else seemed to matter right now save to fill her stomach to capacity. It was sweet relief, the gnawing ache in her stomach relented ever so briefly to give her a reprieve from it all. She had no idea why she had been starving all day, but then again, she was no stranger to wild changes in her life. Maybe this would blow over in time.

“Hey Suzie, mind if I...” Reaching for a slice of pepperoni from one of the pizza slices not yet eaten on Susan’s plate. The tiger woman got the scare of her life when Susan spotted her hand and practically growled at her, glaring down at the woman’s hand, and baring her teeth despite her mouth filled with a half-eaten slice of pizza. Snapping her hand back, Greer was taken back by the act until Susan calmed down and blinked, realising what she had done.

“Heh, sorry Greer, I don’t know what came over me, sure.” Plucking the pepperoni off the slice, Susan offered it to William who snatched it up out of her fingers and began to chew on the thin slice of spiced meat. The moment she had done so, Susan went right back to eating, wolfing down a slice and moving on to another.

“Excuse me, ladies?”

Hearing a man’s voice approach their table at the food court, Susan looked up from her meal to spot a representative of the gym come up and offer his hand. “Hello, my name is Patrick Schwartzman, I’m the proprietor of the Global Gym just over there.” He pointed back towards the gym the two women exited previously before getting a bite to eat.

“Okay… How can we help you?”

“Miss after your demonstration on the gym floor, I want to sign you up for a free membership to our gym, so that we can have more attention to our training and workout classes, the crowds LOVED you in there.” Fumbling with his jacket, the 50 something year old man pulled out a business card along with a small pamphlet to the gym they just came out of. “Don’t decide right away, but please give us a call so we can set you up.” Smiling back at the two women, the man quickly turned and made his way back to his business across the complex, leaving Susan to read the pamphlet with one hand while stuffing her face with the last slice of pizza with the other.

“So… What else did you have planned today Suzie?”

Finishing her pizza and looking down at the empty box with mild dismay, the woman sipped at her drink and pocketed the card and pamphlet in her back pocket. “Well I had a few things planned but I guess those are cancelled now, I was going to finish the day by picking up the kids from school, need a ride home before hand?”

“Sure, thanks for that Suzie.”

Getting up from their seats and hugging from the offered gesture, the two women made their way out of the mall complex to the parking lot where Susan had the fantasticar parked. Even though it was only minutes after finishing a meal that would have served as breakfast lunch and dinner all at once, Susan still felt her stomach growl, demanding to be filled. Pursing her lips in a frown, the pale blonde woman shrugged and tried to push that at the back of her mind before forcing herself to reposition the seating to the car, finding it strangely snug since the last time she drove earlier today.
