  1. Once the Shehicle exited the She-Lair, SheZow drove it in the direction of Maz's house. Maz and SheBang were both technically in the passenger's seat, although SheBang was in Maz's lap. The suburbs were quiet, even with a riot just having happened not too far away.
  2. "Hey, Maz..." SheBang started.
  3. "Yeah?"
  4. "No hard feelings about the whole slicing-up-your-knees thing, right?" SheBang asked, scratching his head and looking away.
  5. "Oh, right, that," Maz replied. He suddenly started tickling SheBang's sides; SheBang burst out giggling uncontrollably, flailing around. He fell onto SheZow's lap, causing SheZow to lose control of the Shehicle for a few seconds.
  6. "I'm TRYING to drive, here!" SheZow complained.
  7. "There, SheBang. That settles the score, I think. The pain was worth it to try out the Shegeneration Module!" Maz exclaimed. "It was like taking a bath, except less bubbles." SheBang's face was red and he was panting as he sat back upright.
  8. "Bubble baths? Really, dude?" SheZow asked, holding back laughter.
  9. "I'm secure about my manhood," Maz pointed out.
  10. "I want a bubble bath so baaaad..." SheBang sighed.
  11. "Actually, you could probably use one," SheZow commented. "How long have you been living out on the street for?"
  12. "I don't remember exactly how long. Two or three weeks," SheBang answered.
  13. Maz shuddered upon hearing that, since SheBang was sitting on him. "Good thing I only use each sidekick costume once."
  14. SheZow stopped the Shehicle. "Well, here we are, Maz! You sure you're alright?"
  15. "Of course! Good as new!" Maz assured. SheBang teleported up into the air to allow Maz to hop out unimpeded. SheBang landed in the now unoccupied passenger seat. The Shehicle's two occupants waved goodbye to Maz before SheZow stepped on the accelerator.
  16. "Oh, right, forgot. Where do you even live, SheBang?" SheZow asked.
  17. "I can actually make do from here. Two or three teleports and I'm home," SheBang told.
  18. "Whatever you like. See you soon! Try not to let Kelly push you around too much. You're a dude, after all," SheZow reminded.
  19. SheBang avoided eye contact. "Yeah, okay." He then teleported straight up into the air before teleporting once more, disappearing from SheZow's sight. Letting out a loud yawn, SheZow rubbed his eyes with his free hand before turning the Shehicle around and driving back to the She-Lair.
  20.  
  21. In just a few seconds, SheBang was finally back home. Nathan's car was parked in the driveway, and the house's lights were all off. "Sheality!" SheBang transformed back into Morgan in order to access his pockets. However, when he checked them, he discovered that his keys weren't there. He paused for a moment. "DAMN! That's right, I left them at home on the last day I went to school, since I thought I wasn't coming back." Morgan looked up at the night sky. "Well, one last time won't kill me." After finding a relatively comfortable spot on the lawn near the fence, Morgan laid down and shut his eyes, quickly falling asleep due to having exhausted himself that night.
  22.  
  23. Three and a half hours later, the sun had risen already, but Morgan was still sound asleep. The front door opened and Nathan stepped outside, wearing his usual work clothes and talking on his cell phone. However, he paused and dropped the cell phone in shock. "Wait...Morgan?!" he blurted out, running across the lawn and kneeling down next to the sleeping boy. "You look like hell. And you smell like--" Nathan paused as Morgan let out a girlish moan and shifted a little, but didn't wake up. Groaning, Nathan got back up and returned to the door, grabbing the cell phone from the ground. It had gotten scratched up a bit from the concrete, but was still functional. "Sorry, sir. Something's come up. I won't be coming in for my shift today....yes, I KNOW that. But I just found Morgan asleep in front of our house, and right now he needs me more than you do. You can finish filling me in tomorrow. This is more important. Yes. Goodbye." Nathan disconnected the call and turned the phone right off, putting it in his pocket. He walked back over to where Morgan was sleeping and picked him up, carrying him toward the house.
  24. "Pa...Papa?"
  25. Nathan looked at Morgan's half-awake face. "Hey, Kiddo. Back from your vacation?" he asked in a sarcastic tone. After walking inside, Nathan closed the door with his leg and headed into the living room, carefully placing Morgan on the couch. Morgan said nothing, but the silence was broken by the sound of his stomach growling. He curled up, placing his chin on his knees. Nathan chuckled. "We can talk in a bit. I'll make you something to eat." It didn't take long before Nathan had assembled eggs, milk, cheese, and butter from the fridge; he got to work on making a cheese omelette after the stove was hot enough. A couple of minutes passed; Nathan had been focused on cooking, and hadn't noticed that Morgan had gotten up until Morgan wrapped his arms around Nathan's waist.
  26. "Papa!"
  27. "Hey, careful!" Nathan exclaimed, the sudden surprise almost making him mess up the omelette. "Geez, you reek. After you get some food in you, go get cleaned up."
  28. "Okay," Morgan replied, smiling. A few more minutes passed; Nathan turned the stove off and scooped up the omelette, putting it onto a plate and handing it to Morgan along with a fork. "No ketchup?"
  29. Nathan sighed, opening the fridge door and grabbing the ketchup before handing it to Morgan. "Finally getting to eat a home cooked meal again and you're still griping about the details." Morgan squirted some ketchup onto the omelette and then returned to the couch. He immediately began wolfing down the omelette. "Hey, slow down, it's not gonna run away," Nathan laughed, putting the frying pan into the sink and running some water inside it. Once Morgan finished the omelette, he brought the plate and fork into the kitchen and left them on the counter.
  30. "I'm gonna have a bath now!" Morgan informed before taking off out of the kitchen, down the hallway and up the stairs.
  31. "And change your clothes, too! You look like you went dumpster diving!" Nathan yelled.
  32.  
  33. After finishing up in the kitchen, Nathan was sitting on the couch, watching the local news. The riot that had taken place the night before was still the center of attention; several key points were mentioned including the fact that the prison had been broken into from above, hundreds of prisoners had been rioting in the streets, and that there were still escaped prisoners out there who hadn't been caught yet. There were also a few pieces of footage showing SheBang; one showing him walking down the street leading to the city hall with hundreds of prisoners in tow, one of him blasting a hole through a police APC with his Laser Hair Dryer, and another of him trying to shoot down the She-C-10 from a rooftop. Fortunately, the news helicopter hadn't been hit by any stray blasts. The news also went into detail about the break-in at the mall, showing scenes of police officers capturing escaped convicts, as well as a short interview with Tara. An hour passed; Morgan had always enjoyed long baths. Finally done getting cleaned up, Morgan headed back downstairs and over to the couch, climbing onto Nathan's lap and giving him a big hug. "Hey, what's all this? You haven't been this clingy since Ariana--" Nathan paused and shut his eyes, hugging Morgan. "Now, you'd better tell me where the hell you were all this time, Morgan. I got your letter, but I want to know EVERYTHING."
  34. "I was out playing," Morgan replied.
  35. "For weeks on end? C'mon, there's more to it than that. Last time I saw you was before you left for school that one day. Please don't tell me you fell in with a bad crowd," Nathan inquired.
  36. "It's kind of hard to--" Morgan started, but paused when he heard the news playing behind him. He turned to look at the TV, seeing the news having gone on to a feature about SheBang himself, starting with his first fight against SheZow and Maz in his Cambo persona, and the resulting interview with SheZow. Morgan grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. "It's a long story."
  37. "Well, you don't have school today, and I'm skipping work. So get comfortable and talk," Nathan told. Morgan adjusted himself on Nathan's lap and grabbed Nathan's arms, pulling them around himself. Nathan took the hint and held Morgan close.
  38. "That stuff you saw on the news..."
  39. "What about it?" Nathan asked.
  40. "That was me," Morgan admitted.
  41. "Oh, very funny."
  42. "It's the truth!" Morgan cried. He trembled and held his forehead in his hands, telling Nathan everything; starting from when he found the ring, up to his first battle with SheZow, and the following battles with many other opponents. He also mentioned how he slept in the park at first but relocated to the roof of an apartment, stole food, and bathed by using hoses in random peoples' backyards.
  43. "You're a THIEF?!" Nathan growled. Morgan whimpered as Nathan grabbed him by the arms and turned him around. "I thought I raised you better than that! Ariana sure as hell raised you better than that!"
  44. "Wait, that's what you're mad about?" Morgan asked. "Not the whole SheBang part?"
  45. "You're obviously making that up," Nathan retorted. "You've never even been in a fight, that I know of! How do you expect me to believe that you're--"
  46. Morgan struggled, catching Nathan by surprise and freeing himself. He jumped over the coffee table and landed facing his father. "I'm not lying! Here's the proof! Girls will be girls!" Morgan was surrounded by red energy; he then stood in the living room as SheBang, smiling.
  47. "W-w-wait...did you just--" Nathan paused. "Did you just turn into a girl?"
  48. "No, I'm still a boy down there. I just look cute now," SheBang pointed out. He spun around and struck a pose. "Don't I?"
  49. "So that was YOU on the news? You broke into the prison, attacked the police..." Nathan groaned, burying his face in his hands. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"
  50. "Papa, I only did that to lure out SheZow and distract hi--her. I spent a while coming up with that plan, and it was almost perf--" SheBang paused as he saw Nathan's hand shaking. Nathan suddenly struck SheBang across the face, but SheBang didn't flinch. "Papa..."
  51. "QUIET! I can't believe this! Morgan, you're a criminal! A murderer!"
  52. "I didn't kill anyone! I was only trying to--"
  53. "Those prisoners killed people! Police, and even people who had nothing to do with it! You think you're not responsible for that?!" Nathan demanded. Tears began to form in SheBang's eyes.
  54. "Pa--Papa, you can hit me all you want, but first...." SheBang produced his Laser Hair Dryer. "This is my main w-weapon, the Laser Hair Dryer..." He then dropped it and kicked it away to the opposite end of the room. "And this is my weakness!" SheBang cried, untying the ribbons that held his pigtails up, letting his hair fall. He placed the ribbons on the coffee table. Tears were streaming down his cheeks at this point. "Now...now I don't have super strength, a-and...I can't teleport, and I can't shoot beams from my eye. I'll feel it now, so...so! Just get it over with!!" At this point, SheBang dropped to his knees and started bawling. Nathan got off of the couch and took a few steps, looking down at SheBang. He gave SheBang a single slap across the face, but didn't use as much force as the first time.
  55. "Why...that long hair...stop crying! You look just like Ariana, so--" Nathan paused as he began to cry as well.
  56. "I'm sorry, Papa!" SheBang sniffled, grabbing onto Nathan's leg. "I couldn't transform into SheBang without danger forcing it! I tried, and tried, and nothing else worked! I HAD to bust into the prison! I didn't find out how to transform whenever I wanted until a few hours ago!"
  57. Nathan wiped the tears from his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He sat down in front of SheBang. "Why go to those extremes? I Every kid wanted superpowers at one point, sure. I know I did. But look at yourself. Do the powers really make dressing like that worthwhile?"
  58. "Papa....it's not the powers that make the appearance worth it. It's the other way around," SheBang pointed out. "I like looking like this." SheBang smiled, tears dripping onto the floor. "But the only way I could do it is by making sure that I, or someone else, was in danger."
  59. "Stupid kid," Nathan muttered before wrapping his arms around SheBang and pulling him in close. "You said you can't take off the ring, right? So it can't be helped. You're going to fight and protect, until you've made it up to those who died. As much as a few months in juvie would set you straight, I doubt that place could hold you after what you did to the adults' prison."
  60. "So....you're not mad?" SheBang asked.
  61. "Yes, I'm MAD. But with those powers, think of all the extra weight you'll be able to pull around here!" Nathan exclaimed.
  62. "I don't have super speed," SheBang mentioned. "Oh, and um....this just stays between us, right?"
  63. "Of course. I don't want to be on the news," Nathan replied. "And in the end, you're still my kid. I think I'd rather put up with this shit than end up alone."
  64. "PAPA! You swore!" SheBang complained.
  65. "Oh, grow up. You're in middle school now; you'd better get used to foul language, Morgan," Nathan advised.
  66. "Call me SheBang. I'm SheBang right now!" SheBang pointed out, smiling.
  67. "Fine, SheBang. Do you have plans today?"
  68. "I do! Kelly wanted me to come over," SheBang told.
  69. "Kelly? Who's Kelly?" Nathan asked. "I may have just told you to grow up, but it's too soon for a girlfriend."
  70. "AHAHAHAHAAAAA!" SheBang burst out laughing, falling onto the floor and flailing his legs. After about half a minute, he stopped and looked up at Nathan. "LOOK at me, Papa. Do you really think I'm interested in girls?"
  71. "Oh, right. Ah ha ha..." Nathan laughed awkwardly, looking away.
  72. "I even kissed a boy! Don't worry, I did it as SheBang!" SheBang exclaimed, giggling. He then paused all of a sudden as his eyes widened. "I hope I didn't accidentally get him killed or arrested."
  73. "Take it SLOW, please. This is a bit difficult to wrap my brain around all at once," Nathan admitted. "Right, I think another cup of coffee or five is in order. Clean up your stuff." SheBang nodded with a smile as he wiped the last of his tears away; he got up, grabbed the Laser Hair Dryer and put it back into the Cuteility Belt before grabbing the ribbons from the coffee table and re-tying his pigtails.
  74. "Hey, Papa!" SheBang yelled from the living room.
  75. "What?" Nathan asked. SheBang then teleported directly in front of Nathan, landing in a seated position on the kitchen counter. Nathan had a look of shock on his face for a few seconds at the sight of SheBang's ability, but then glared at him. "Off."
  76. "Don't you think it's c--"
  77. "OFF the counter."
  78. "Aww," SheBang whined, sliding off of the counter.
  79. "This isn't a jungle gym. Go outside if you want to do that sort of thing," Nathan told. "And speaking of jungle gyms, I'm worried about how much school you missed."
  80. "School doesn't have a jungle gym," SheBang pointed out.
  81. "Don't dodge the subject. What are you going to do?" Nathan asked.
  82. "Hmmmm...." SheBang pondered. He looked at Nathan with upturned eyes before standing on his tiptoes and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, Papa!"
  83. "I love you, too. But there'll be hell to pay if you get held back," Nathan explained.
  84. "Oh, fine! I'll just cheat and make Kelly help me," SheBang concluded.
  85.  
  86. A few hours passed. In the She-Lair, Guy and Maz had just arrived along with Rick the brick after some early morning goofing off. Maz placed Rick on Sheila's control console. Kelly had already been in the She-Lair for about an hour, writing notes on a whiteboard with a black marker and not paying attention to her surroundings. Guy sneaked up behind her and clapped his hands. "HEY!"
  87. "GAAAAH!" Kelly blurted out, dropping the marker. She turned around to see Guy laughing up a storm along with Maz. She said nothing as she picked up her marker and turned back to what she was doing.
  88. "So, what's all this?" Guy asked.
  89. "Plans," Kelly stated. She continued to write for about another minute before stepping aside to allow the two boys to see what she had been doing.
  90. "That looks like....a schedule?" Maz asked. "What for?"
  91. "Once I finish breaking in SheBang, I--" Kelly started, but paused as she heard Guy groan.
  92. "Just because SheBang doesn't have a reason to do evil anymore, doesn't mean he's going to start being all buddy-buddy with us," Guy pointed out.
  93. "I'll persuade him. This is important," Kelly insisted. She pointed to a timetable, showing Guy's sleeping habits. "You usually go to bed around eleven, or sometimes midnight. And then you wake up around seven or seven-thirty in the morning. School starts at eight-thirty, lets out at three."
  94. "Are you stalking Guy or something?" Maz asked. Guy shuddered.
  95. "No, I'm not. LOOK. We can't expect SheZow to be ready for action around the clock. The lack of sleep would be a huge problem, both for Guy and for Megadale," Kelly told. "But if we did this...." Kelly wrote SheBang's name on the timetable and began writing a sleep schedule for him. "You see? If Morgan goes to bed at four o'clock in the afternoon and wakes up around eleven or midnight, SheBang can be at the ready when Guy is sleeping."
  96. "Going to bed almost right after school? Harsh," Guy commented.
  97. "SheBang's a night owl. I reviewed a lot of footage that Sheila captured of SheBang's activities. Most of the time, you didn't intervene, because you were asleep," Kelly informed. "I won't have a hard time convincing him."
  98. "I don't think Morgan's interested in girls," Maz pointed out.
  99. "He's definitely not interested in YOU, Kelly," Guy laughed. He held up his hand as Maz gave him a high five. Kelly sighed.
  100. "Trust me, Kelly has things well in hand. I'm impressed, really," Sheila commented, appearing on the main screen. "And look who it is!" Sheila then displayed live footage of SheBang, loitering around the entrance to the She-Lair that the Shehicle had used on the night of the riot.
  101. "What gives? Is it broken?" Guy asked.
  102. "No, it's just only programmed to automatically open for the Shehicle. I'll just give it a little nudge," Sheila replied. A few seconds later, the hidden door to the She-Lair opened, allowing SheBang to teleport inside. Sheila closed the door once SheBang was in. After another few seconds, he had teleported in front of Sheila. He turned to the others and waved.
  103. "I'm here. Now what?" SheBang asked. Kelly walked over to him.
  104. "Transform. I want to talk to you ALONE for a little while, upstairs," Kelly told.
  105. "Sheality!" SheBang transformed back into Morgan, tilting his head and giving Kelly a funny look. "It's not going to work, though."
  106. "What isn't?" Kelly asked.
  107. "I don't want to do that sort of thing with a GIRL!" Morgan complained. Guy and Maz snickered.
  108. "CALLED IT!" Maz bragged.
  109. "Oh, all of you shut up! Come on," Kelly growled, grabbing Morgan by the wrist and dragging him along, leading him to the elevator and heading up to the house.
  110.  
  111. Upstairs, Kelly and Morgan walked through Guy's room, into the hallway and then into Kelly's room. Kelly shut the door and sat down in front of her desk, opening her laptop. "So, Morgan, we haven't gotten to talk much..." Kelly commented. Morgan was looking all around the room, intrigued. "Hey, Earth to space cadet."
  112. "Sorry. I've just never seen a girl's room before," Morgan replied. He sat down on Kelly's bed.
  113. "Anyway, I think that you and I should form a sort of...alliance," Kelly suggested.
  114. "Huh?"
  115. "I help you, you help me, and no one else has to know about any of it," Kelly added, smiling. "You see, I have plans for SheZow, but I need someone to do some testing on, first." She turned to her laptop and began typing. A minute later, she brought up a web page. "You don't know this yet, but SheZow's power relies on beauty. Sheila mentioned this morning that yours relies on cuteness. In short, when you guys get older, become adults...you'll end up looking like this, and then your powers will be shot," Kelly continued, showing Morgan an image on her screen. "You'll get killed in battle, looking like this."
  116. Morgan put his hand over his mouth as his eyes widened. "I...I just threw up in my mouth a little."
  117. "Aww, poor thing," Kelly chuckled. "Don't you wish you could stop that? There's a way, you know." She clicked and typed for another half a minute, bringing up another page. "They make medicine for it. It's usually tough to get through a doctor at our age, but I've been looking into this for a while for SheZow. There's side effects, though...so I want to test it on you first and see how it works before I try anything with SheZow."
  118. "I should probably ask Papa..." Morgan mentioned.
  119. "Why? This is for your safety, not to mention Megadale's. And it'll make you happy, right?" Kelly asked, smiling. "It has nothing to do with your dad."
  120. "But what about SheZow? Guy likes being a guy, right?" Morgan asked.
  121. "Then I guess he'll either adapt someday, or he won't," Kelly answered, grinning. "And if he lets his pride get in the way of SheZow, I'll be ready to take that ring after his inevitable defeat."
  122. "That's scary," Morgan pointed out.
  123. "I'm going to ensure that Megadale has a PROPER SheZow to protect it, one way or another," Kelly added. "Of course, this just stays between you and me."
  124. "How do you know I won't tell Guy?" Morgan asked.
  125. "You won't. I have other things you want," Kelly assured.
  126. "Hey, Kelly! You home?"
  127. Kelly's eyes went wide. "Uh-oh."
  128. Suddenly, Kelly's door was opened from the outside, and Boxter was standing in the doorway. He still hadn't changed out of his police uniform, and he looked incredibly tired. Fortunately, he hadn't gotten injured during the riot. "Kelly, your mother would like some help with--" Boxter paused. He looked at Morgan, then at Kelly, then back at Morgan and stared. "Kelly, who is this boy?" Boxter asked, crossing his arms. Morgan rolled backwards and landed on the floor behind the bed. He peeked at Boxter, keeping himself mostly hidden.
  129. "Morgan, calm down, that's just Dad," Kelly sighed. She looked at Boxter. "He's just a friend of mine."
  130. "A friend, huh? What sort of friend, and how long has he been here?" Boxter inquired, suspicious of what was going on since he never saw Morgan come into the house. Morgan began to tremble and lowered his head.
  131. "He's my effeminate friend. I'm going to use him as a dress-up doll and make him pretty. Want to watch?" Kelly asked, grinning at Boxter. A look of intense shock appeared on Boxter's face. Not saying a word, Boxter slowly backed out of the doorway and carefully closed the door before heading back downstairs. Morgan climbed back onto the bed.
  132. "Ooohhh...that was good," Morgan complimented. "He didn't even realize you were kidding."
  133. "I wasn't," Kelly corrected. Morgan froze as Kelly started going through her dresser.
  134. "Wait, what?" Morgan asked.
  135. "You don't have any problem with it, right? Feel free to transform and bust out of here if you want," Kelly suggested. Morgan said nothing, remaining seated on the bed and watching Kelly intently. "I'm going to give you a complete outfit to keep. I think your feet are bigger than mine, though, so you're on your own for shoes." A couple minutes later, Kelly had assembled a fitted white t-shirt, a light purple long-sleeved v-neck knit top, and a pleated black and dark purple skirt. She also handed Morgan a pair of white knee-high socks and white panties.
  136. "Wait, underwear too?!" Morgan blurted out.
  137. "You already wear it as SheBang," Kelly replied. "Don't worry, it's all clean."
  138. "Are you sure you're okay with this?"
  139. "Normally, no, but this is important to your...development," Kelly assured. She motioned for him to leave. "Go change in the bathroom."
  140. Morgan smiled. "Okay!" He grabbed the pile of clothes and left the room.
  141. Kelly listened for the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing. "Hehehe! Perfect," she giggled.
  142.  
  143. Five minutes later, Morgan returned to Kelly's room, quickly closing the door behind him. He had changed into the clothes Kelly gave him, and held his own clothes under his arm, including his boxers. His face was red. Kelly, who was now sitting on her bed, gave a thumbs up. "I knew that would suit you! But we're not done yet."
  144. Morgan dropped the armful of boys' clothes and tilted his head. "What next?" he asked, puzzled. Kelly produced a hairbrush, some hairspray, an eyelash curler, and a white hairband adorned with little ribbons.
  145. "The icing on the cake, of course!" Kelly exclaimed. She patted the bed, motioning Morgan to sit down next to her. He did, without saying anything. Kelly adjusted herself so that she was sitting behind Morgan, and began brushing his hair.
  146. "OWW!" Morgan cried, feeling a knot get caught in the brush.
  147. "Weeks of not washing your hair..." Kelly groaned. "Luckily, this hairspray is REALLY good." She continued brushing his hair for a couple of minutes to ensure that the bottom of his hair had a consistent, slightly curvy shape, before spraying the hairspray all over Morgan's hair. Morgan sneezed. At this point, Kelly added the hairband and then got the eyelash curler ready.
  148. "What's that?" Morgan asked.
  149. "Keep your eyes open," Kelly told, as she moved the curler closer to Morgan's eyelashes.
  150. "O--okay...." Morgan reluctantly agreed. Fortunately, it didn't take Kelly long to make Morgan's eyelashes stand out properly. She held a small mirror in front of Morgan. A wide smile spread across Morgan's face as he held his cheeks in his hands. "CUTE!"
  151. "Cute!" Kelly agreed. "Let's go show Mom!"
  152. "Let's not!" Morgan contradicted. Kelly grabbed him by the arm and pulled him along. After a few seconds, Morgan gave up resisting.
  153. "Mooooom!!" Kelly yelled, leading Morgan down the stairs. "Look what I made!" She then grabbed Morgan and pushed him forward. Droosha and Boxter were both sitting at the dining room table, eating hot chicken sandwiches; Boxter had finally gotten around to changing his clothes.
  154. "Oh, and who might this be?" Droosha asked, looking at Morgan. Boxter promptly choked on his food when he saw how Morgan was dressed. After coughing a couple of times, he took swig of water.
  155. "This is my latest project, Morgan!" Kelly introduced.
  156. "Keeping busy, as usual! Good for you!" Droosha exclaimed. "Although...I don't really get what it is you did. She looks perfectly normal to me."
  157. "Morgan's a boy," Kelly and Boxter replied in unison. They looked at each other in surprise for a second.
  158. "Ehehehe..." Morgan laughed nervously, his arms behind his back and avoiding eye contact.
  159. "Honey, where's my camera?!" Droosha demanded. Morgan's face turned red.
  160. "How would I know? Wherever you left it," Boxter replied, getting back to his lunch and keeping his eyes focused on the plate.
  161. Droosha's eyes lit up when she spotted the camera on top of the fridge. "There it is! I must've not used it since I wanted to show off that pu pu platter."
  162. "That WHAT platter?!" Morgan blurted out.
  163. Grabbing the camera, Droosha turned it on. "Kelly, why don't you two pose like those girls in that something-Cure show you always watch?"
  164. "Alright! Morgan, stand like this...no, more like this. Now hold still. And smile!" Kelly told. Droosha began taking pictures of the two while Kelly coordinated Morgan. After a few minutes, Boxter had been pressured into appearing in some of the pictures as well, putting his arms around the two kids in order to avoid his wife's killer stare. A few minutes more, and the battery in the camera was dry.
  165. "Aw, I forgot to charge it," Droosha complained. "Oh well. I got lots of good ones!" Morgan was in a complete daze. Kelly grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him a few times. "A bit shy, is he?"
  166. "'A bit' is an understatement," Kelly sighed. She then clapped her hands on Morgan's cheeks.
  167. "OW!" Morgan cried. "What was that for?"
  168. "You were daydreaming or something. Come on, let's go find those two guys and show them as well," Kelly suggested. Without giving him a chance to respond, she grabbed Morgan and led him back upstairs, into Guy's room and down the secret entrance to the She-Lair.
  169. "I feel sorry for that kid's dad," Boxter groaned.
  170.  
  171. In the She-Lair, Guy and Maz were in the Shehicle, doing donuts despite the rather limited space they had. The car stopped when Kelly and Morgan entered. Morgan hid himself behind Kelly. "GUY!" Kelly yelled angrily. "Stop abusing the Shehicle! And who exactly is going to clean those marks off of the ground?"
  172. "Oh, c'mon, Kelly! We were just hanging aROUND. Like a DONUT!" Guy explained. Maz snickered.
  173. "Morgan, what are you wearing?" Sheila asked, appearing on-screen.
  174. "Ummm...clothes!" Morgan answered. Kelly suddenly spun around, grabbed Morgan, and pushed him ahead of her as Guy and Maz hopped out of the Shehicle.
  175. "THIS is the future!" Kelly proclaimed, looking extremely proud of herself as she presented Morgan. Guy and Maz both burst out laughing, causing Morgan to hide his face in shame. "Hey, what's so funny?!"
  176. "It's...it's just...HAHAHA! It's HILARIOUS how good he looks in that!" Guy laughed. He slapped his knee.
  177. "Are you SURE he's not a girl, Kelly?" Maz inquired, trying to contain his laughter. Morgan began to walk away.
  178. "Hey, Morgan, where are you going?" Kelly asked.
  179. "Home," Morgan replied.
  180. "Dressed like that?" Kelly asked, grinning. Morgan paused.
  181. "Hahahaha...c'mon, Morgan. I didn't MEAN anything by that," Maz told, scratching his head.
  182. "Yeah, we're all pals here. Loosen up a bit!" Guy added.
  183. Morgan walked back toward the others. "Kelly, you said that both Guy's and my own powers more or less rely on femininity, right?"
  184. "Well, beauty for him, which isn't going so well. Cuteness for you, which is getting better," Kelly confirmed.
  185. "Then I should be more powerful at this point, right? Guy, let's have a practice fight," Morgan suggested.
  186. "Sure, I'll take you on!" Guy agreed, grinning.
  187. "Girls will be girls!"
  188. "You go, girl!"
  189. "HOLD IT!" Kelly shouted, getting in between the transformed SheZow and SheBang. "I don't want the She-Lair getting any MORE messed up."
  190. "Soooo...what? We go fight out on the street?" SheZow asked.
  191. "No, but in the interest of the fact that it's a mock battle, and to keep everything around you two safe, there needs to be rules," Kelly pointed out. She looked at SheBang. "No Heat Vision Wink." She then looked at SheZow. "No Sonic Scream." Crossing her arms, she eyed them both. "And NO gadgets. That goes for EVERYTHING in the Beautility Belt and the Cuteility Belt."
  192. "A bare-knuckle brawl, eh?" SheZow pounded his right fist against his left palm. "I'm up for that!"
  193. "Okay, if you insist," SheBang agreed.
  194. "I know I can't really say "no super strength", but PLEASE try not to break anything," Kelly pleaded. "Anyway, the fight will last until one of you two gives up or is knocked down for 10 seconds. Maz, you'll be the referee for this glamazon mock battle."
  195. "Sure thing!" Maz agreed. He stood in between the two aptly-named glamazons, looking back and forth between them. "Before we start...does anyone have to take a dump?"
  196. "No, I'm good," SheZow replied.
  197. "I'm fine," SheBang confirmed.
  198. "Alright! On your marks, get set...." Maz all of a sudden leaped back twice. "FIGHT!" SheBang immediately teleported out of SheZow's view as Maz jumped into the Shehicle, peeking out from inside it.
  199. "Oh, c'mon, Maz! It's not like they'll bite!" Kelly told, sitting down on her usual chair in front of Sheila, completely relaxed.
  200. "Have you ever SEEN a cat fight? Yes, they'll bite!" Maz replied. He ducked down a little.
  201. "This is supposed to be a fight, not hide and seek!" SheZow yelled, looking around for SheBang. SheBang dropped down from above, landing feet first on SheZow's head and kicking him away. SheZow got back up quickly, gritting his teeth and raising his fists. Wasting no time, he used his super speed to get right up close to SheBang in a flash, but SheBang teleported once again. Instead of staying out of SheZow's sight, though, he used short teleports to constantly change his position, remaining within a meter of SheZow at all times. SheZow quickly lost count of how many times SheBang had teleported. Although in terms of response time, the super speed and the teleport were evenly matched, SheZow wasn't used to dealing with SheBang at close range and couldn't find an opportunity to strike without leaving himself open to a counterattack. A minute passed, and SheZow still couldn't make a move.
  202. Maz hopped out of the Shehicle and sat down in the empty chair beside Kelly. "Why isn't SheZow doing anything?"
  203. "He can't," Sheila pointed out. "SheZow's super speed and SheBang's teleportation are very different. While super speed is the more flexible of the two and can be used for attacking and other purposes besides just mobility, teleportation is far faster and more dependant on the user's focus rather than their physical abilities. It looks like SheBang's a lot more focused now than he was all those other times. I wonder why that is..."
  204. Kelly grinned and leaned back in her chair. "Isn't it obvious? All it took was a little nudge in the right direction."
  205. "Heavy-Handed Super She-Slap!" SheZow's right hand grew vastly as he raised it into the air. He swung, but didn't connect. SheBang re-appeared about five meters in front of SheZow. "Enough of that, I don't want to be here all day!"
  206. "Fine. I'll let you hit me just once," SheBang told. He put his right hand on his hip and tilted his head. SheZow raised the enlarged hand and charged forward, swinging at SheBang. SheBang extended his left arm in response. "Heart Shield!" SheBang conjured up a Heart Shield from his palm, stopping SheZow's attack. To SheZow's surprise, the Heart Shield, which was normally only the size of a trash can lid, was now bigger than even the Heavy-Handed Super She-Slap hand. SheZow tried to force the attack through, but SheBang's strength was proving to be too much.
  207. "No way! There's NO WAY Morgan is stronger than Guy," Maz commented in disbelief.
  208. "SheZow is going to lose," Kelly sighed.
  209. "You can't say that for sure," Maz argued.
  210. "Their powers might be similar enough, but Morgan has more control over his at this point. Since I corrected Morgan's appearance a little, and Morgan has stopped doing evil, he and SheBang are more compatible than Guy and SheZow are, now," Kelly explained.
  211. "Is...THAT why you dressed Morgan up like a girl?" Maz asked.
  212. "Exactly. The more femininity, the more power."
  213. SheZow broke the stalemate by jumping back. "What gives? You were never this strong before," he pointed out. His hand returned to its normal size. SheBang said nothing and teleported. SheZow was caught by surprise when SheBang appeared in front of him, holding the large Heart Shield directly ahead. SheBang charged forward, slamming the energy into SheZow. At this point, the Heart Shield was so large that SheZow could not hit SheBang with any attack from the front. SheZow used his super speed and super strength together, delivering a flurry of punches to the Heart Shield, but it didn't break. SheBang put even more energy into it, making it even thicker; he could no longer be seen through it. SheZow leaped into the air to attack from above, only for SheBang to angle the shield upward. Right when SheZow was about to connect his feet with it, though, SheBang dispelled it; he hadn't been standing at its center, which resulting in SheZow missing and landing on the ground right next to SheBang. Taking advantage of this, SheBang grabbed SheZow by the cape and threw him, sending him flying into the side of the Shehicle. SheBang teleported, grabbing SheZow and slamming him against the Shehicle several more times.
  214. SheBang sighed. "How boring. Long-Haired Super She-Spin!" SheBang's hair grew to a far longer length as SheBang began to spin rapidly. Over and over, SheZow was pummeled by the long, hardened pigtails.
  215. "Hey, Kelly, stop them already!" Maz protested.
  216. "Forfeit or knockdown only, they both agreed on those rules before they began," Kelly reminded. "Besides, would any villain just give up and spare SheZow if he ended up facing one that was stronger?" Maz gulped as his eyes went wide. At this point, SheBang stopped spinning as his hair returned to normal. SheZow stumbled, holding his head in his hands.
  217. "Ugh..." SheZow groaned.
  218. "Give up?" SheBang asked. "C'mon, you're only w--" SheZow interrupted by punching him right in the gut, sending him tumbling across the ground.
  219. "YEAH!" Maz cheered. SheBang got back up quickly.
  220. "Long-Haired Super..." SheBang started. SheZow charged at him with a raised fist. "....NOT!" SheBang teleported, appearing to SheZow's right, and knocked him down with a shoulder tackle.
  221. "Now they're just trading sucker punches. It's like their first fight," Maz thought out loud.
  222. "Oh, right, I keep forgetting you were there," Kelly commented.
  223. "That fight was ALL me!" Maz bragged. SheBang teleported, landing over by the couch, and ducked down behind it. SheZow rushed over to that spot as well, but SheBang had teleported again, this time appearing on the hood of the Shehicle, sitting down with his legs stretched out. He smiled at SheZow. SheZow put the super speed to use again, zigzagging on the way to SheBang to try to throw him off. As he got into hand to hand range, SheZow threw a strong punch. SheZow's eyes went wide as SheBang revealed the six-pack of Fizz Burp that he had grabbed from near the couch. Holding it in the path of the attack, SheBang closed his eyes as the six cans burst from the impact of the punch, getting soda all over the two of them, most notably in SheZow's hair.
  224. "HEY! That was perfectly good Fizz Burp!" SheZow complained. However, with his hair messed up from the soda burst and not being allowed to use any gadgets, SheZow was helpless as SheBang grabbed him and tossed him up a few meters into the air before teleporting away. SheZow landed on his stomach with a loud thud on the Shehicle's hood. He didn't move.
  225. "FOUL! Waste of Fizz Burp!" Maz objected.
  226. "Oh, shut it," Kelly responded. "Although I suppose I forgot to account for the whole weakness bit. I guess the next mock battle will have to be everything allowed, but out in the desert or something with no people around."
  227. SheBang grabbed SheZow and slung him over his shoulder, walking over to Maz and Kelly. He placed SheZow on the ground in front of them. "I won, right?" SheBang asked.
  228. "It was incredibly cheap, but yes," Kelly sighed. SheBang nodded and reached for SheZow's Beautility Belt, grabbing the She-Lac spray from it and applying it to SheZow's hair. SheZow's eyes suddenly opened. He looked at SheBang.
  229. "I kinda sucked," SheZow laughed, scratching his head. SheBang handed the She-Lac back to him. SheZow returned it to the Beautility Belt. "She-yeah!"
  230. "Sheality!" SheBang transformed back to normal along with SheZow. Guy grinned at Morgan.
  231. "You owe me six new Fizz Burps," Guy pointed out.
  232. "What?!" Morgan blurted out. "I don't have any money!"
  233. "And what's with that smug look, Kelly? It's not like YOU'RE the one who kicked my butt," Guy asked. Kelly continued to smile at Guy, narrowing her eyes at him. Guy backed away a bit. "Oookay. Come on, Maz, we have a board meeting to attend. Morgan, wanna tag along?"
  234. "Morgan's busy," Kelly intervened, grabbing Morgan's arm. "Actually, no, he's not. What do you wanna do, Morgan?"
  235. Morgan pondered. The thought of going outside while dressed as a girl both frightened and excited him. Coming to the conclusion that he could just transform if anything bad happened, he smiled at Guy. "I'll come watch!" Guy and Maz grabbed their skateboards and protective gear, heading out of the She-Lair with Morgan.
  236. "Why did you change your mind at the last minute like that?" Sheila asked.
  237. "I was worried at first that Morgan might pick up some bad habits from those two. But on the other hand, the more Guy is around this side of Morgan, the more Guy will get used to the...concept of it, you know?" Kelly answered. "One step at a time. First, I've got to OPEN Guy's mind."
  238. "You seem to have things well in hand. I suppose I'll leave it to you, after all," Sheila commented. Kelly yawned before leaning back and shutting her eyes.
