Derek Quintanilla & Paul Lombardi
Collab post between Heathen and DrewVonAwesome
Paul was finally able to just relax again, though he still felt like just being by himself for a little bit. He was fairly sure now he knew what to do with his newfound powers and honestly staying shrunk sounded nice for the moment. Very strangely peaceful and quiet. He leaned back against the bed post and just slouched down. Looking up at the relatively massive world around him as he was finally able to just relax a little.
That is until something furry came up next to him.
With a raised eyebrow Paul slowly turned over to see a hamster right next to him. "Ah!" Paul suddenly realized another weird crux of his small stature at the moment. An animal normally sized to fit into his hand normal sized, now looked something of a monster when he himself was small. The second thought that came into his head was why exactly was a hamster in the super secretive base? He was going to have to ask about it later but for now he reached over, gently scratching the top of the hamster's head. "Hey little...ish... buddy. What brought you here? You a superhero too? Super Hamster?"
Derek tried to resist the urge to eat little Paul to the best of his ability which seemed to work. Paul didn't seem all that frightened that a gigantic hamster was in his presence but with all that's happened today, nothing was too far fetched. Derek's human mind took over for a second and tried to communicate with the small person but with no avail. The only thing that escaped his lips were that of hamster noises and squeaks. How in the hell was he supposed to turn back? Was he going to stay stuck a hamster forever? He was too cute to stay stuck as a rodent. He had dreams and aspirations which being a small furball wasn't a part of it.
"Hey little...ish... buddy. What brought you here? You a superhero too? Super Hamster?"
Derek tried to respond to Paul but it was no use, although the head scratch wasn't half bad. All he could do was sigh to himself and think what he could do. When he turned into Rodney, he thought about him. Maybe if he thought about being himself again then maybe he could turn back. Trying to push away his animalistic instincts, he did his best to think about himself and how he would love to be human again. It took a few moments but finally he got it. He began to grow taller while the hair on his body receded back into his skin. At long last he was himself again wearing that red and black uniform he was provided.
"I think I need to go back and read those papers again," Derek said coughing up some fur. "That's what I get for skimming over the power section. In fairness I didn't pay much attention because I thought everything was ridiculous," he said to Paul who was now even smaller now that he was back to normal. "I don't know if I'll ever get used to this. I mean I was a freaking hamster," he said as he sat beside Paul making sure not to sit on him.
The hamster stayed quiet for a moment before suddenly turning into a man. In a way that made Paul feel his last meal start to creep back up his throat. Putting a fist to his mouth to keep from vomiting Paul turned back to see a giant in comparison Derek now leaning in and facing him stomach first. Paul wasn't used to seeing someone being giant in front of him perspective wise. He now had a feeling how the others must of felt being around him as a giant. "To be fair I totally did too, but I've been shrinking and growing all day so it wasn't too difficult." Paul noted leaning back upright against the bed post. "I hope you can hear me like this, I'm trying to speak up but I mean I'm not sure how far a voice projects from a very tiny person." Paul called up to Derek. "You did make an adorable hamster though, but please dear god tell me you can turn into something else than a hamster... be hard to stop crime as a hamster I'd assume."
"Well it looks like I have some catching up to do. It seems most of you already know the gist of what you can do," Derek said having to look down at Paul even though he was sitting as well. Changing your size was something Derek felt like was easier than turning into other species of animals. After calming down a bit, he had to admit what he could do was really cool. Not many kids their age could say they have powers they have to use to protect the city, as corny as that sounded. "I can hear you just fine. You sound a bit funny, but you're still audible," he said letting out a slight chuckle. "Yeah, you're right. Derek the killer hamster probably wouldn't do much in a fight." Which reminded Derek that he needed to go grab his file and skim over it one more time. "I'll be right back."
The hispanic boy left to the other room briefly to grab his file, glancing over at Paul's again. He probably shouldn't mention that he happened to take a peak at some of it. Derek didn't think Paul would like it too much if he interrogated him on his preferences. He managed to make his way back and sit next to Paul reading over his own file. "Oooo this is interesting. Apparently I can turn into any animal I touch. Which explains why I turned into Rodney after I touched him earlier today. I was wondering what that tingling feeling was when I petted him. I guess I was 'acquiring' his DNA." He looked over at Paul and gave a side smile. "I'm guessing our first mission is to head to the zoo so I can acquire some better animals. Hamster boy just won't cut it."
Paul watched Derek leave, for a moment his eyes lowered on Derek and he caught a glimmer something big, round, and tight against Derek's own red and black suit. Paul swallowed his saliva before quickly looking away. Scratching the back of his head awkwardly. He was thinking about wanting to eat peaches right? Sure.
At that point Paul decided he didn't really want to grow back to normal size. At this rate really enjoying himself being tiny. It was weird, and he never thought he'd like being small... in overall size not in... other ways. But there was something nicely comfortable about the world around you being so huge, and you could easily hide away from it all. As Derek came back with his paper work Paul stood back up. Stepping onto the paper which made very small pattering sounds from his footsteps.
"Man looking at paper like this is crazy." Paul noted reading Derek's file with him. "Dude I haven't been to the zoo since I was a kid, I should sneak in with you in your pocket or something!" Paul said chuckling. He sighed at the end glancing back up at Derek.
"I mean so long as you don't... I mean you are gay right? NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT." Paul quickly waved off the notion. "Just... you know what never mind. I've already shot myself in the foot enough today..."
Derek gave a look of confusion as he looked down at Paul he was standing on top of the paper. He tried to hold back a laugh as he watched him put his foot in his mouth as most straight people did when they brought up gay things. Derek knew he wasn't being malicious but it was still funny to see him freak out. "Um yeah I am indeed homosexual," he said finally letting out a laugh. "But you're fine, honey. Even though I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to say." Derek let out a sigh and stood up finally after looking through his sheet.
"I haven't been to the zoo in a few months and I absolutely adore animals. This is probably the best power for me. I want to be a vet one day so this ability could help me understand animals a bit more. However I think we need to get back to the training room before we get bitched at. Did you need a lift or did you want to walk?" Derek walked over to the doorway and looked back at miniature Paul before looking out to see if anyone was looking for them.
Stepping off of Derek's paper work Paul looked even more awkward at his teammate's suggestion about getting bitched at for not going to the training room. Paul sighed letting his body grow back to normal size since he wouldn't be able to talk to Derek shrunken if his teammate was going to be standing like that.
"Yeah that's the thing..." Paul awkwardly started, "Like I was already in there and I kinda sorta... like in giant form grabbed Ms. Velmont without thinking and used her as a whip and she got super pissed at me to the point of inflating up like a balloon then she chewed me the hell out for it and I just ran into this room to cool off." Paul stammered through it all, like he was telling his mom something wrong he did. "So I don't know if I want to go back tonight. Even at the risk of getting bitched out again." Paul chuckled awkwardly at everything, though it was clear it was all still bothering him deeply.
Derek just nodded his head and tried to hide a smile by putting a hand over his mouth. He had to admit Paul was a bit adorable when he was rambling. This was something Derek did when explaining something he was passionate about so he knew all too well from experience. "Ha, a whip...that's funny." It took him awhile to adjust to the fact Paul was back to normal size and at eye level with him. He almost forgot how good looking he was, but he knew since they were going to be on a team he couldn't get distracted. Plus he was straight until proven otherwise and he wasn't the type to chase people. "But you don't have to worry about that. I'm sure she'll be over it. I won't let her chew you out again, I promise. So let's go," he said grabbing Paul by the arm and pulling him along.
Paul felt Derek grab him by the hand and start to pull him out of the room, "I hold up wait!" Paul tried to protect, but Derek was nothing is not persistent. At least he was cool to be around judging by everything so far...

It took awhile before everything began to process with Derek. He started to look around and noticed things were exactly right. Someone was melting into a puddle, Paul was shrinking, and other outrageous things were happening. The hispanic boy just sat there dumbfounded unable to form words or even think clearly. What in the hell was going on, he thought to himself. He finally was able to muster up the effort to start talking. "What is going on he-" and before Derek could even finish his sentence, he noticed Dani sprint to the other side of the room within a blink of an eye. "Wh-Wha..." He looked around and could see everyone was just as confused as he was. "What's wrong with everyone?! Why is this happening?!"
As if someone from above answered his question, a nicely dressed woman came out and appeared before the students. She didn't even bother to introduce herself before insisting they all go with her and some other dressed up men. Derek tried to object, but was swept away along with the other teenagers into some nice expensive vehicles. "My dad is a lawyer! He'll know that I'm gone!" His dramatics didn't seem to do anything as they carried on wayward to some remote underground base in downtown. By now, he didn't even bother to yell or cry. He didn't know where he was and the other teens, plus a teacher, didn't even seem to object to what was going on.
It wasn't too long before everything was explained to them by the mysterious woman who now introduced herself as Dr. Maria Stanford. He tried to think back that test he was told to take and always wondered what it was for. Apparently he was handpicked to save the city. Who would have thunk it. "But I think you have a mistake. I don't have any powers. I don't think whatever you gave me worked." But as usual he was ignored and the lady went on to give them the tour of the area which was actually pretty nice considered they were prisoners in his eyes. They didn't have a choice in the matter for one and now they were thrown into a situation they couldn't get out of. At least his costume was cute. Black and red which were his favorite color. He still didn't know what he could do. Meanwhile his best friend could go from here to the other side of the building in seconds.
It took him some time to read over his backstory which seemed a bit too cliche in the superhero sense. But at least his family were kept out of it. Or so he thought. Apparently they knew about all of this and were given permission to kidnap their children. Just great. He let out a deep sigh as everyone went their separate ways to get "suited up" and head to the training room. He happened to glance over at one of the forms that was left on the table and noticed it belonged to Paul. He didn't get a chance to read it thoroughly but it said something about being gay. Paul, the hot womanizer, gay? If that's true, then what a plot twist. After he got into his costume that fit his body quite well and complimented his cheerleader figure, Derek continued to wonder what his power was. It was probably super paranoia. Honestly, the only exciting thing he's done to today was hand out flyers to a pep rally they obviously weren't going to attend, and held Rodney the class hamster. Rodney. It seemed as though his thought of the hamster triggered his power as he began to sprout brown and white fur, shrinking down to size. His two front teeth grew out and before he could scream out, a small squeak escaped his mouth as he was now Rodney. Derek squeaked and freaked out as he looked through the eyes of a hamster. He had his human thoughts but they seemed to be fighting with animal instincts. But one thing for sure is he was confused and scared as hell.
All Derek did was start scurrying out of the room in a panic trying to find the others. Out of his peripherals, he saw a mini Paul run into one of the rooms. Derek immediately started to chase after him trying to get his attention. However his animal mind had other plans for him. Like wanting to nibble at him like a piece of lettuce.
This is starting to fill out. Loving it ^^
I really want Derek to turn into the biology hamster he petted earlier and chase little Paul around like a piece of food.

One of the waiters had barely put his drink down on the table before Derek's friend Dani sat right beside him and snatched it up for herself. He had reached over to grab it only to look up and see her drinking it nonchalantly as if it belonged to her. "Well damn don't mind me. It's not like I was going to drink that or anything," he said sarcastically before giggling to himself. After conversing with one another for a few minutes, everyone seemed to scatter from the cafe and onto their respective classes for the day. Nothing too spectacular happened throughout the day with Derek except promoting the pep rally that was after school. He did have a mild headache which he assumed was from not having any coffee in the morning thanks to Dani. The only thing that was remotely weird was during Biology class when Derek went over to one of the lab table to pet the class pet hamster, Rodney. When he reached inside and took out the hamster, he could feel a tingling sensation in his hand when he held Rodney. Derek couldn't exactly explain what it was and thought he just had the jitters.
Before he knew it, school had ended but not before he heard his name over the intercom with other names included to head to the principal's office. He immediately started to panic in his mind and tried to remember if he did anything bad throughout the day. He couldn't remember breaking any rules and he was a good kid. A detention or suspension could ruin his clean record and possibly affect his future. As he began to dramatically freak out, he walked reluctantly to the front office where the others had already sat waiting. He glanced over at Dani who was sitting next to that cute waiter that worked at the cafe. He rushed over and sat next to her quickly, not even taking note the weird things that were happening with the other students.
"Oh my god, am I in trouble? We did we do? What did I do? I have a bad feeling about this," Derek rambled as he looked around nervously. If it wasn't known, he had a knack for wanting to be a goody two shoes.
Approved, bring him on in and lets make some magic.
Pun possibly intended.
In more ways than one.
