"Me and Becca...it happened shortly after I moved into the foster home. It was a mistake yeah and then she got pregnant. She didn't have the heart to abort the baby" he said. "And you never told Laura. Why?" I asked. "Her parents being foster siblings?" Theo said. He looked out at the starry sky. "We panicked when Becca went into labor. You saw her skin color. It would be clear as day the baby was mixed. Imagine our shock she was born with her mom's skin color. Was it because post-human genes who knows. All she inherited was my grandmother’s eyes...and a post-human gene" he said. "You should tell her. She deserves to know. Maybe it would give her perspective" I said. "After all this time? Especially today?" he asked. "I’d want to know. You heard my story. I'd kill to have my real daddy back" I said. Theo nodded. He understood what I meant. He walked back into the house. I heard Theo talking to Becca. She looked totally blown away when he told her he would tell Laura the truth. "She did this because she's in love with me Rebecca! My girlfriend almost became a stain under her foot. You do realize that's attempted murder!" Theo snapped. Becca hung her head. "This is something we should've done long ago. We were so worried about how she would be teased we never considered the hole in her heart we would create" he said.

Theo looked upstairs. "I'm going up there while she's still under and begin fixing this" Theo said. He went up the steps and we followed. He sat on the bed next to Laura who was still asleep. He stared at her with sad eyes and placed his hands on the side of her head. "What are you going to do?" I asked. "Something I hoped I'd never have to do to anyone. Tamper with her mind. First thing is seal her powers away. I'm putting a mental block in her mind so she won't have access to them. A temporary measure that will wear off eventually. The next part will be more drastic and will take some concentration. Be quiet" he said. Theo closed his eyes. Laura sighed in her sleep. "That's done. Now the next part" he said. Theo squinted and Laura groaned. It sounded like she was in pain. Becca went to stop him and I stopped her. Theo breathed out hard and gasped. "Done. I erased the last two weeks from her mind. To her it was the last day before her powers kicked in" he said. "How will we explain a two week gap in her memory?" Becca asked. "Say she was very ill and was in a coma. Say it was due to her powers kicking in. That might scare her enough not to dwell on using them" he said. "You think it will work?" I asked. "I...I don't know" he said.  

"For now let her sleep" he said. Theo brushed aside a strand of her hair. He bent down and kissed her forehead. None of us said a word at dinner. Then we heard feet coming down the steps. Laura was shaking her head. "Mom? We got aspirin? Head really hurts. Hey Uncle Theo!" she said. Becca ran to her and hugged her tightly. "Mom? Why are you crying?" she asked. Theo looked at me and I nodded. "Pull up a chair kiddo. There's something you need to know" he said. I sat there listening to him explain what happened to her. She was shocked to hear she was in a coma and more so that she had powers. Of course she asked what kind. "They're...strength powers. They caused too much strain on your body and almost caused a stroke. Starting next week you need to take medicine until you're old enough to handle them" he said lying. "Okay. If you say so" she said. She turned to get some food when Theo grabbed her arm. "There's something else sweetie. God. How do I say this? Laura I'm not your uncle" he said.

Laura looked at him curious. "I’m really your dad" he said. Laura. The look on her face would stay in his mind forever. Shock. Pain. Anger. "No. You're my uncle. Right mom?" she asked Rebecca. She nodded. Laura began hitting him. "Where were you?! Where were you when I needed a dad?! Alone waiting for mom to come home! Father daughter dance! Why lie and say you're my uncle?! WHY?!" she yelled. Theo took every punch in his chest. "Any excuse I had would be pointless. All I can say is sorry. I'm so very sorry" Theo said sadly. She sobbed and kept hitting him till she fell to the floor. Theo hugged her and she fought to break free but he wouldn't let go. He kept saying sorry. Laura sobbed into his chest. When she calmed down Theo explained why they lied. Theo told her that would change. He would be a part of her life. Not as some uncle that showed up a day or so every few months. He held her and talked to her until late at night. He noticed she was asleep.

Becca was outside smoking. "Can you take her to her room? I need to talk to Becca" he said. He stepped out the room onto the porch. I picked the girl up. For a kid she was heavy. I found it hard to carry her up the steps. Making sure I was not seen I shrank her. Only 4 inches tall she was easy to carry now. I sat on her bed and looked at her. Sleeping peacefully. I remembered what she did to me. Made me feel less than a person. I found my grip tighten. "Dad" she mumbled. That tiny voice stuck in me. She was a troubled girl not in control of her powers. I placed her on the bed and grew her back to normal. I sat there for a moment thinking about the people I killed.   Where did it go wrong for them? If Theo hadn't been around would I found myself punishing her in years to come? I thought about it as I came down. Becca was washing dishes and Theo was on the sofa. "We got so lucky today" he said. He had no idea how right he was. "You two talked a long time. She ask about me?" I asked. He nodded. "Told her you were my girlfriend. She frowned but I sensed she understood. She's still a confused girl up there" he said pointing to his head. "But not murderous right?" I asked grinning. "No. Me and Becca talked. I'm going to move in here. Be part of her life" he said.

"That's great!" I said. "I'm sorry you got involved" he said holding my hand. "Don't be. I'm glad I met her" I said. Theo kissed me. "I don't deserve you" he said. "You deserve this. Read my mind" I said. Theo did and blushed. "Never thought about that. Guess we wouldn't make noise at that size" he said. Be bid Becca good night and went to our room. We shrank down to an inch on the bed. "Can't believe you can do this. You never told anyone?" he asked. "No. Worried that others would fear me" I said. Theo kissed me as he got closer to me. He sucked on my nipples and lined his cock with my pussy. "You don't have to be gentle. They won't hear us" I said. Theo shoved his tiny cock into me and began pounding me right off the bat. He draped my leg over his shoulder and rammed me harder and harder. He gripped my hips and pulled me to him. He held me there as he blew his load into me. Theo put his arm around my chest and held me. I felt his chest hair on my back. "Kimmy. I love you so much. Where have you been all my life?" he asked.

A cliché I know but he was sincere. He voice broke when he said that. I heard him sniffling. I realized what the question really was. Where was I when he was suffering the most? I took his arm off me and grew to normal size. I grew him slightly bigger but not much. Just around 6 inches. I placed him on my chest between my tits. I stroked his back. "I'm here now. That's what matters. Theodore I'm not going anywhere" I said. The small man whimpered and hugged me. I wanted to protect him. Keep anything from hurting him. He didn't deserve that kind of pain. Guilt or burden. Later that evening I sucked him off. He lay on my face gently humping my mouth until he spurted his little load. He fell asleep exhausted. People fear us. Sometimes rightfully. The truth is people should fear being us. Suicide rate is staggering for post-humans. Tragically so for ones that just awaken. Figures that are told to us because of our job stick to us.

There's special counseling for us and even suicide hotlines manned by post-humans. Why am I thinking about this now? As I held this shrunken man I thought about one thing. Marriage. He completed me. His daughter gave me hope that even the shittiest things people do can be prevented if vigilant. I'd love to have Laura as a niece. The next day we went out like family to picnic at a nearby lake. It had been many years since I felt connected like a family. Laura even had fun playing with me. She seemed happier knowing she had a dad. My happiness took a downturn a few days later.

I was coming into the precinct and I saw TV cameras and reporters. Something happened. "Guys what's with the news crews?" I asked the officers inside. Many of them looked horrified or pissed. Ralph walked by smoking a cigarette looking pale. "Ralph?" I asked. The man looked at me with reddened eyes. He looked like he had been crying. "Theo? What's the hell happened? Ralph looked like he saw utter hell" I said. Theo sighed. "Early this morning dispatch got a call about a noise complaint from an apartment. Something about yelling and screams. They sent out some officers to check it out. They knocked on the door and got no answer but they did hear something like a growl. They kicked the door in and..." Theo said before taking a breath. "It was Changeling. He struck again. He attacked a mother and her daughter. Caught him red handed. The mother had her throat ripped out. Her daughter...he was eating her. Girl was only 10 Kim! The officers shot him" he said. "My god. And Ralph had to process the scene didn't he?" I asked. Theo nodded.

"Least we killed the bastard" I said. "He's in critical. His powers seem to help him heal" Theo said. "If only we locked him up last time. That family would still be alive" he said. Any hope I had for things working out was gone. I spent the rest of the day in a fog. My anger building inside me. I made up my mind. I would begin killing the scum strangling this city again and Changeling would be the first. Theo was worried about me. He followed me home. "I can stay" he said. "No. I want to be alone" I said softly. Theo left and I saw him look up at my window. I waited a half hour before I left. I changed into my dark clothes and drove near the hospital. I parked the car a block away and walked to it. I made sure to hide my face from the cameras inside. It was simple to find out where he was. That kind of talk doesn't stay quiet. He was on the third floor in room 316. I got off the elevator and saw two officers posted outside the door. I ducked into a bathroom and shrunk down. Quarter of an inch to be precise.

I made my way walking against the edge of the floor and wall. Nurses and doctors passed by. Like gods they towered over me. Like gods they controlled life and death. Me? I was a bug of death. A mosquito that could kill anyone with just a simple touch and a few seconds of time. The walk to his room took two hours. I walked past the officers and climbed under the door. They didn't know that a fellow officer had shrunk herself to kill the monster they guarded. He was alone. Hooked to a ventilator and was being fed saline and a green substance I knew what it was. Negation. It kept him from morphing into a bird or mouse and escaping. It also kept his healing slow. Explains why he is still injured. I glance at his chart. Fucker took 8 gunshot wounds and still survived. The devils luck but like all luck it eventually runs out. I grow back to normal size. I place my hand on his mouth and he immediately woke up. "Shhh...evening Changeling. You don't know who I am but I know who you are. Killer. Rapist. Monster. You used the law to your advantage to get away with it. This time though you got caught. You get a sentence but here's the thing. This state doesn't have the death penalty and I'm willing to guess some slick lawyer will try to use the insanity defense. I'm going to prevent all of that" I said.

I could see the fear in his eyes as he tried to morph and couldn't. "Don't bother. They got Negation running through your ass. I wanted you awake so you knew why you're going to die. Justice is something that can be bought or sold like its property. What I do is justice the way it was meant to be. Absolute" I said. In my pocket was a switchblade. I took it out. He began to panic as I cut his arm. "I'm not going to kill you with this. I need your blood to make a statement. In their eyes you're going to disappear but this way they know you didn't escape. They'll look for you for awhile but not long. Why? A whole lot of people are going to disappear soon just like you. The cops will realize you were among them" I said dabbing the blade in his blood. I wrote a message on his bedsheet. "Justice".

After doing that I shrank him down. The IV lines came out of his arms as he shrank down. The machines began beeping like crazy. I had to act fast. "Die" I said cramming his one inch body into my mouth and swallowing. I heard the shouting of doctors. I dashed to the edge of the room and shrank down. I finished shrinking just as the door flew open. Doctors were stunned to see him not there. The cops came in and immediately radioed for support. "Justice written in blood" one said. "Someone got to him?" the other asked. "If they did then where's the body?" his partner asked. I belched. I casually walked out the room and down the hallway. I waited till I was at the elevator before growing back to normal. I easily walked out of the hospital before they put it on lockdown. I walked to my car as I saw police cars zoom by to help with the search. "Sorry guys. You won't find him" I said patting my belly. He didn't even put up a fight. No wriggling or anything. Must've been too weak to even do that. Fitting he died at the mercy of a woman.

I drove home and changed into something less like a vigilante. I made some tea and shrank down to 3 inches. One little perk about this power is I can use a teacup as a bathtub. You have no idea how relaxing it is to soak your tired body in a warm cup of green tea. It was heaven. The tea water melting away the stress. I blushed when I thought how Theo might like it if he drank the tea now that it tasted a little like me. I got out the cup and dried off with a napkin. I began growing back to normal when I noticed something off. "What the hell?" I wondered when I had to concentrate much harder than normal. When I got to 6 inches I found I couldn't get any bigger. "What’s happening?!" I yelled. I began to panic. Was something wrong with my powers?! "Oh no" I said realizing what happened. Changeling. He had Negation in his body when I ate him. My stomach absorbed the drug along with his nutrients. It was dampening my powers. Jesus. They must've given him a very potent concentration of it. Way to go Kim. Can it get any worse? My phone started ringing. Fuck me...

My phone was in the charger dock near me on the table. Maybe I can just answer and play it off. Aw crap. He's trying to FaceTime me. Double fuck. I have to answer. He'll come over if I don't. Okay. I have an idea that might work. I put my hand on the giant screen of my iPhone and press the green answer icon. "Hey Kim. Woah. You got the camera really close to you face don't you?" he asked. "Maybe. What's up?" I asked wondering if he heard anything. "Nothing. Just checking on you. You looked rattled earlier" he said. "I'm fine. Nothing a relaxing soak didn't cure" I said. "Hmm...wish I was with you. Maybe I can come over?" he asked mischievously. "No. It's really late. I'm turning in" I said. "Okay. You sound better anyway. See you tomorrow Kim" he said hanging up. I breathed a sigh of relief. That's one problem down. Now for the other. I was able to use the power cord to the dock as a rope to get down. I tried growing again. Nothing.

"Calm down. This shit does wear off. Just get some rest" I told myself. I made my way to my bed and climbed up into it. The bed was as big as a gymnasium to me but it was soft and comfy. It took no time at all to fall asleep. I opened my eyes to the sound of a familiar voice. "Sleep well honey?" a giant man asked. "Dad?" I asked. "I made you favorite. Waffles. Now let's get you out of those pajamas" he said tugging on my clothes. His giant fingers pulled on my sleepwear. I tried to fight them off. My hands. My arms. They were shorter and younger. "There we go" he said. I could see his erection. He looked into my eyes and he pulled my panties off. "So precious. Spread your legs for me" he said. I found myself whimpering as I did. He smelled my sex and licked his lips. I felt his giant tongue begin lapping at my tiny shrunken pussy. "Dad please..." I said. "Shhh...daddy will be done soon" he said stopping just to talk. He began sucking hard. Extracting any sweet juices I made. With a grunt I came in his mouth. I could hear his loud slurping. "Dad. Can I have breakfast now?" I asked.

"Just one last thing honey" he said unzipping his pants. He brought me to his boxers and shoved me inside. I was gripping his cock to avoid falling. Then I heard his zipper and the little light I had faded. "Daddy! DADDY!" I screamed. I awoke. "A dream" I muttered. The sun was just rising over the skyline. My body was drenched with sweat. My body...I was normal size again! I began my day early. No way I was going back to sleep. I showered and dressed and headed out to work. I took my time getting to work. Stopped at a real breakfast diner. Regular people going on with their lives as I sipped coffee and ate pancakes and sausage. I thought about my dream. Now and then I would get a letter from him. I never opened them. Didn't need that. He was dead to me. When I was younger I was given a psychiatrist that specialized in abused kids and teens. It didn't work out. She said she knew how I felt. Bullshit. Nobody knows how it feels to have someone you love and trusted use you as a jerk off toy. The TV was playing the news. The top story was how Changeling disappeared last night.

I had to wade through the reporters to get inside the station. The precinct was a madhouse. "You saw the news right?" Theo asked. "Yeah. He disappeared?" I asked. "Everyone in the bullpen now!" the captain yelled. So every officer in my division was crammed into the meeting room. "So I know you heard the news that Changeling disappeared from his room. What you don't know is we suspect it wasn't by his choice. We found blood that matches his on the bed. It was used to scrawl out Justice. We don't know how he got out or if he's even alive. AV forensics combed the cameras and found something" he said. Oh shit. "Everyone is accounted for except this person here" he said. He pulled up a still of a person in black. Me. Oh shit shit. "This person rode the elevator up and went into the bathroom. The interesting thing is he or she never came out but is seen ridding the car down" he said.

"A teleporter maybe?" Paul asked. "That's the theory. We know that Changeling had a lot of victims. Many we don't know about. It's possible one related to a victim came back to dish out some payback" the captain said. "Any DNA or fingerprints?" an officer asked. I held my breath. "None. Like a fucking ghost. That means we might have a pro folks. I want narcotics to squeeze every snitch. Find out if our friend payed anyone else a visit or at least seen Changeling. Beat patrol. Take a photo with you. Ask around" he said. "Excuse me sir. Sounds like this person did us a favor" a young officer said. "I will pretend I didn't hear that.  We don't need vigilantes running around. Powers or not. What separates them from us is this. We are trained to deal with problems. They're not. We do not need another PyroPriest incident" he said. "PyroPriest?" another young officer said. "God you kids make me feel old. PyroPriest was a guy back in '88 burning people he considered sinners. A catholic priest with pyrokinetic powers. First he started with murders and drug dealers. Then whores and pimps. As the weeks dragged on it got worse. When we finally caught up to him he was busy burning a divorce lawyer like he was a candle. The body count was 37 I think. A post-human on loan from the FBI named Frostbite took him down. Now enough talking. I want to see some action. Dismissed" he said. Oh thank god. They didn't know it was me.

"Crazy shit huh?" Theo asked. "Yeah. What do you think about this vigilante angle?" I asked. "The captain has a point. If people took the law in our hands this city turns into Deadwood. At the very least we need to find this person before they get themselves killed" Theo said. His words struck me. Maybe because I wanted to hear words of encouragement from him instead of the opposite. "What do you think?" he asked. "What I think is if someone killed Changeling earlier that woman and child would still be alive" I said walking away. I hopped into the squad car and went on patrol. It was my job to patrol in the morning hours and return later when I had no case to work on. I used to enjoy this. It meant not having to case a scene or look at any giant dead people. Not today though. I was worried now. Cops knew I was out there and yet my desire to kill criminals didn't diminish. I spent my time writing down potential targets. Massage parlors with wealthy clients. A crack house that for some reason kept reopening.  Strip club slash mob front that we knew was controlled by a powerful man that had the right friends. 

Anyone who ever worked as an officer can tell you that you can't police the whole city. There are places you know shit happens and you try to minimize the spillover. Criminals can be the worst hypocrites. Use the law to cover you own illegal activities. Paying defense attorneys with dirty money. Bribery. Informants. Long ago mom told me the secret to killing weeds. Attack the root. I returned to the station later. Theo was quiet around me. No doubt surprised at my answer. I had to play it cool though. I asked him if he wanted to do something this weekend. He declined saying he was going to spend time with Laura. When we were alone I hugged and kissed him. He relaxed a bit. This was what he knew of me. "We'll do something next weekend" he said smiling.

I let almost a week pass before resuming my plans. The search of Changeling had died down. Nobody knew where he was. Not even his old running buddies. It was officially turned over to homicide and forensics. My division. I was asked to shrink down in the hospital room and look around. Nothing was there and even if it was I wouldn't tell them. I did walk around for an hour 3 inches tall just for show. "Anything Lt.?" an officer asked me. "No Eric. Not a thing" I replied. Eric was slightly new. Been on the force for 8 months. 21 years old and fresh out of the academy. Kinda cute in a little brother kind of way. Quiet though. "Can I ask you a question Lt.?" he asked. "Only if you stop calling me Lt. Kim is just fine" I said. "What's it like being so small?" he asked. "Well it like going to another world except you're not. You know what stuff is but your mind has trouble with the gigantism of everything. It takes getting use to" I said.

"Don't you feel scared being so small? Anything could happen. I could trip over and crush you!" he said. He did look worried. "It's...it's kind of a faith thing. When I was young it was bad for me but being an officer showed me to put faith in those around you. When you're with your partner are you scared?" I asked. "Sometimes. I know he'll have my back but that's not the same. I don't see me having that kind of faith" he said. "Eric. Pick me up" I said. He looked worried. "Come on" I said. He gently picked me up. He opened his palm. It was sweaty. He was nervous. "How do you feel?" I asked. "Worried I might drop you" he replied. "You can more than that. You could even eat me if you wanted" I said. He looked horrified. "Relax I know you wouldn't. That's faith. Faith is like trust. Takes time to build. I'm in your hand. I won't fall off. Now. How do you feel?" I asked. "A little better now. Funny. It feels normal to talk to a shrunken girl" he said. "That's because you see me as a person. A fellow officer. One that trusts you" I said.

"I kinda get it now. I need to stop worrying what can go wrong and focus on what I can do" he said. "Now you got it. Now put me back down" I said. He did and I grew back to normal. "Thanks umm...Kim" he said blushing. Cute. The conversation I had with him was good but I left out one thing. Faith can be put in the wrong things. For example our justice system. I told Ralph I found nothing.  Soon it was Friday night. Theo said he was taking me somewhere special tomorrow. Last weekend he spent it with Laura. Looking at pictures of her family on her dad's side, shopping, he even taught her how to make pasta. She was doing well. Taking Negation every day to suppress her powers. In a few years she would be okay to get a smaller dose. Theo promised to be with every step of the way. I had a target tonight. A house a mile sway being used by a middle level dealer. More risky than all my past targets. I parked the car a block off and walked to it.

I shrank down to get under the door. I looked around the living room. A couple of keys of coke on a table. Two guys on the sofa. Another in the kitchen. All armed. "You done yet cutting it?" A booming voice asked. "Just now. Getting it ready for selling" one said on the sofa. The one asking was known in the system. Carlos "Ironman" Gutierrez. A post-human with the ability to increase his strength. Multiple times he's been charged with dealing but each time no product was found on him. Hearsay is the legal term. Why not call the police now? Simple. No warrant means no evidence. Get a warrant? Carlos is rumored to have a friend in the Court. He'll know it's coming. I sat in the corner and wait. I need to see if anyone else is here. A woman barely dressed comes into the room. Her bare feet sent shockwaves through the cheap old tile floor. "Come back to bed baby. That can wait" she said. "Damn.  A witness. Need to wait till they're asleep" I thought. "In a minute. You sure you can move some of this chica?" he asked. "Of course. I know some students at my school that would love to score" she said. She was too old to be a student. "Heh. Got to admit. Nice cover being a teacher" he said. Motherfucker...

I watched the two leave the room leaving me with the other three. I walk to the ones on the sofa. One is busy dividing the Coke into smaller bags. The other is busy watching TV. I'm near the one watching TV. His boot is next to me. I touch it and concentrate. It happens so quickly his friend didn't notice him gone. His buddy though is now at my feet. I cram him into my pocket. I walk over to his friend. "You gonna watch cartoons all night or are you gonna help?" he asked. I see him look and was surprised he wasn't there. I touch his shoe and he shrank down. He goes into my pocket too. The one in the kitchen comes into the living room. "Fuck? Where did they go?" he asked. He wanders near me. I hide under the sofa to avoid his feet. I dash out and touch him. He joins his friends. "Easier than I thought" I said. I grow to two inches to make the trip to the back room. I get there and see his girl riding him. I'm almost awestruck watching the giants fuck. The wriggling in my pocket tells me to speed up. The slapping of skin is like thunder. Their moans and groans deafening. It wasn't easy climbing up the bed. The shaking was like an earthquake.

When I got there they didn't see me get close. I had to act quickly before they finished. Before he pulled out. You'll see why soon. "Fuck yeah. Your pussy is so warm and tight. What...?" he said as he felt me touch his sole. "Here it comes asshole" I said out loud. I concentrated hard. This took more effort than usual and here's why. He shrank and so did she. She shrank because she was touching him just enough for my power to channel into her. If I waited I'd had to shrink her separately and that might give me trouble with the gun lying nearby. They were the size of grains of salt. She was too busy trying to get him to cum to notice but he did. He shoved her off her. "Hey Carlos" I said. He was shocked. The woman screamed seeing me. "I know you! Minimizer!" he said. "Bingo. Too bad you'll never get to tell anyone" I said. I reached down and grabbed the girl and put her in my pocket. I grabbed him and he forced my hand open. "Fix me or I'll kill you!" he said lunging at me. He punched me in the chest and I fell down. Fuck! He's like Paul! "Fucker!" I yelled growing. 4 inches.

I grabbed him again with both hands and he strained to get free. 6 inches! He was having trouble now. Have to stop him. I plucked his tiny body and he screamed in pain. A normal person would be a stain but he was intact. Hurt bad but intact. I put him in my pocket. Bet he's having fun in there. When I grow I can grow whatever or whoever is touching me...if I want. The others in my pocket grew but I made sure he didn't. His friends must be 50 ft. tall compared to him. I left the house and grew back to normal. I dumped them into a bag for safekeeping. They were around 2 3/4 inches except Carlos. They screamed and clawed at the plastic bag as I drove home. I quickly weren't up the stairs and closed my door. I dumped them on my bed.

"Stop begging! Gets annoying" I said taking off my clothes. I sat naked before them. I had plans for them. "Here's the deal. You lives are over. No more drug pushing. No more fucking up people's lives. You do as I say and you'll live longer" I said. They were quiet. They looked to the tiny mite of a man they once called boss. "Don’t look to him to save you. He can't save himself" I said licking my finger. I touched Carlos and brought my finger to my face. He was stuck like glue to it. He was too injured to pry himself free. I sucked on my finger and acted like I was tasting fine meat. I swallowed. A quick end to a dangerous man. The girl below started sobbing. "Now that your boss is busy giving me what miniscule calories he had it time for the four of you" I said. "Lady I was just a bodyguard! I never dealt any drugs!" one said. "Yeah but you had no problems taking his money. That's guilty by association" I said. I grabbed him up and tore his clothes off. I jammed him into my mouth and swallowed. "Sorry but I absolutely hate people who make excuses for doing bad shit. Now I did promise you'll live longer if you do as I say. I can still make that work with just three of you" I said.

"Take of your clothes or else" I said coldly. Thy bogeyed fearing they would be my next meal. "You can't do this! You can't just eat people! You're a cop for fuck's sake! One man shouted. "First of all I can. Second, I'm not a cop right now. I'm off duty. Right now I'm a civilian who is fed up with people like you falling through the cracks of the system. Speaking of cracks" I said pulling my pussy lips open. They looked at my cunt like it was a drooling monster ready to swallow them up. "You three are going to take turns trying to make me cum. Whoever gets me cumming gets to live" I said. They all looked at one another. His friend pushed him down and ran for my pussy. He quickly began rubbing my cunt. Shoving his arms into it. "Oh yeah that's it" I said moaning. His friend quickly got up and shoved him aside. He began facing his tiny cock into me.

They both began fighting each other to make me orgasm. I laughed at them. The woman took advantage of the situation and while they were wrestling each other began licking and slurping my juices. Her hands rubbed my lips as her face was buried in giant pussy. "Oh fuck! I'm going to cum!" I yelled. The two men froze instantly and saw the woman. They tried pulling her away to take credit. Too late. I yelled out as I came. Took a minute to catch my breath. "It was me! I made you cum!" she yelled. "Yeah you did" I panted.  I brushed her to the side. "Now for you two. You're both going to die. How would you like it? Quick and painful or quick and painless?" I asked. One of them ran. Sheer terror made him run. I watched him actually jump off the bed. The bedroom rug kept him from going splat. When he landed he yelled out. A chirp really. He gripped his leg. Broken badly to the point a tiny sliver of his femur poked out the skin. I got up.

"No!" he yelled dragging himself. I stood there with my bare feet on either side of him. I waited till he crawled onto the cold hardwood floor. Exhausted he looked up. I raised my foot over him. My pink sole hovered over him. "Don't stain my floor okay?" I said lowering my foot. "NO! PLEASE DON'T! AHHHHH!" *CRUNCH*. I had never crushed anyone before. The sound is surreal. Like stepping on a juicy cockroach. A mix of crunching and wet squelch. I raised my foot off him. Between my toes was stained red. "Wow" I said. I knew I would crush him good. Hell at my size it was like dropping a building on him. He was flat and I mean fucking flat. Cartoon flat. A splatter of red and guts. You couldn't tell it was a man once. I went to the bathroom and grabbed a wad of toilet paper. I wiped off the blood from my foot and the floor. His remains wadded up I dumped them into the toilet and flushed. I sat back on the bed. "He ended up getting the quick and painless treatment but I think he was in some real pain with that broken leg. Should've just accepted his fate" I said. The girl was frozen in shock. The man just trembled at my sight.

"Now for you. What do you want?" I asked. "I don't wanna die that way. Just do it quick. Really quick" he quietly said. I picked him up. "No crushing?" I asked. "Please. I don't wanna die like a bug" he said. "I won't then" I said gripping his head. With a slight twist I snapped his neck. Like snapping a matchstick. He hung limply in between my fingers. I put his body in my mouth and let it slide down my throat. "Well you're the lone survivor" I told the woman. "You'll let me live?" she asked. "No remember I said how long? “No! I'll rub your feet or lick your pussy! Please don't kill me!" she sobbed. "Why should I care? You sell drugs to schoolchildren. Wait...that reminds me" I said. I looked at my calendar app. "Can't believe I forgot" I said. Next Monday at 10 am I was scheduled to give a speech to kids at s local elementary school. Say no to drugs and be good kind of shit. A program started by the mayor to help regulars feel easier with post-humans as cops. I was chosen as I'm the least threatening type. "Alright lady. I won't kill you" I said. She relaxed and I touched her. She shrank down to a half inch. I scooped her up and put her in my dresser drawer with my panties. Her Justice was coming. If she knew maybe she would beg me to kill her right now.

I went to sleep later. I was exhausted but I sleep very peacefully. That Saturday Theo came over with his daughter. The woman was carefully hidden and her screams for help was muted by the giant thick wall of dresser. "I told her we can have a picnic today" he said. "That sounds great" I said. Just after saying that a rumble of thunder filled our ears. We looked out the window. Sure enough storm clouds filled the sky. "Guess that’s canceled" Theo said. Laura looked very disappointed. I. the far Conner of my living room I saw something that gave me an idea. "No necessarily" I said walking to the corner. I picked up the old terrarium. "I didn't know you had a pet" Theo said. "I don't. Two years ago a therapist suggested I take care of one. I ended up getting a pet turtle" I said. "You had a turtle. That's sounds boring" Laura said. "Well for a normal person yeah. For me it was kinda fun. When it was cold outside I would shrink down and crawl into the terrarium. I'd just doze off sunning myself on Shelly's back" I said.

"Your turtles name was Shelly?" Laura said giggling. "Hey! It's a good name. Better than Leonardo or Michelangelo. Miss that cute guy. He liked me rubbing his head when I was three inches tall" I said. "Where is he? Did he...die?" Laura asked. "No. I gave him to a lonely boy a few doors down. It was better for both of us. My job sometimes kept me from home. Had to worry that Shelly had food and water" I said. "So this idea is we have the picnic in there?" Theo asked. "Why not? Has sand and moss or grass. Even had a lamp for sunlight" I said. "Can we dad?! That sounds really fun!" Laura said. "Sure. Why not? Now Laura you need to do us a favor though. Keep this part from your mom. Kim is kinda worried that if people knew she could shrink others they'd be scared of her" Theo said. Laura quickly nodded. Thanks Theo. I had them stand close together and hold hands. "Hold still" I said touching their shoulders. I shrank them slowly not to frighten Laura. The process took about 30 seconds. When it was done they were two and 1 1/2 inches tall respectively. A tiny father and daughter. I bent down and slowly picked them up.

"So how does it feel being shrunk Laura?" I said. The last time she was asleep. "It’s so weird. Everything is so big!" She said looking down from my hand. She gripped my finger tightly. "Relax kiddo. I'd never drop you" I said. I smiled a bit getting close to her. I could tell she tried to hide her fright. I carried them to the terrarium and gently lowered my hand. They stepped off.  I turned on the lamp too low to simulate a warm spring day. Now for me. I sat down on the floor. I shrank down to a foot and lifted myself up. I shrank again till I was 6 inches tall. I dropped myself down into the terrarium. They were near me. To them I was like an amazon of legend. 15 ft. tall. I shrank down till I was their size. "Now let's get this picnic started!" I said. Theo opened the basket and pulled out a blanket for us to sit on. Laura gazed at the glass around us. "I can't believe I'm so tiny" she said. "Believe it. Right now you're the size of a Cheeto" I said.  "Have you ever thought about shrinking bad guys? You could build prisons a lot smaller and faster" Laura said.

"...never thought about it. Ever since I discovered my second talent I only used it on one other person" I said. "Who?" she asked. I glanced over at Theo who was getting the food ready. "Dad?!" she yelled. "Shhh! I did it because I love your dad enough that we trust one another. Powers aren't meant to hurt people" I said. "Then why is that vigilante running around then?" she asked. I was surprised she knew about that. "I think that person is trying to get rid of people the law can't touch. She gets rid of criminals only" I said. "Know what I think? I think she does it because she can. Not because of some cause. If she can kill people like that then what separates   her from the bad guys you can dad catch?" she said. Her back was turned to me so she didn't see me glare at her. How dare she?! What does she know?! She's just a kid!

"Laura let me give you some perspective. Every person she has made go missing has been either a murderer, drug pusher, pimp, or human trafficker. Is the world better with them still around or not?" I asked. "Not of course" she answered. "Right and here's the thing. The public is literally divided on supporting this person. Even officers in our own department. Weither this person really has a cause isn't important. The question is has her actions did harm or good?" I said. "Never thought about it like that" she said. "Laura. I noticed you referred to the vigilante as a woman. Why?" I asked curious. "It would be cool if she was" she said. "Yeah...cool" I said. "You girls gonna stare out that glass like a hamster or are you gonna come over and eat?" Theo yelled. We smiled and trotted our way to the center of the terrarium. He made the best turkey sandwiches. Mayo and tomatoes. Yum. Years ago I discovered something being shrunk. Food tastes funny when you're shrunk. Maybe it's the preservatives or hormones but it's lacking in natural flavor when a tiny person tries to eat a normal sized chunk of meat. Another thing that's unique to my life.

We all laughed at stories we told one another. The one about Paul sneezing and blowing out a window was funny. After eating we played a bit. Theo had brought a Frisbee with him. The makeshift sand floor was about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide but it was enough for us. Laura even started a water fight in my turtle’s old water dish. Wish I could take a picture of this. Tiny little people splashing around with not a care in the world. It was getting late though. "Alright guys. Time to wrap up" I said growing a few inches. Laura stared at me with awe. Still amazed at the sight of a giant woman. I crawled out the terrarium and to the floor. Soon I was back to normal and picking them up. Laura wasn't afraid this time. They were back to normal size in seconds. "You have fun today Laura?" I asked. "Yes. Thanks Kim" she said smiling. "It was very sweet to let her in on your secret" Theo whispered and kissing me. "I'll call you I said to him. They left me and I sat down tired from the day.

I gave my shrunken teacher some food and water. I wanted her alive for Monday.  She looked pitiful. She could barely speak let alone beg. I didn't know but she could hear Theo and Laura earlier. She was screaming for help the whole time. Sunday came. Theo met me for dinner and a movie. Later that night we had sex. It turned me on thinking about the shrunken woman just feet away too weak to scream for help. After our first round of sex we took turns being small. I went first. I shrank to 4 inches tall and he picked me up. My heart beat fast. My breaking quickened. "I'll never hurt you" he whispered. He knew I was instinctively scared because of my past. I began kissing his giant lips. He didn't kiss back and waited till I was done. He took the tiniest lick of my face. So gentle he was.

He put me on his lips and he laid back. His mouth opened slightly and my legs fell in. He began slurping me deeper into his mouth until his lips were locked around my torso. He moaned slightly tasting my body. My tiny feet braced against the roof of his mouth as I felt his tongue part my legs. "Oh Jesus..." I moaned as the tip of his tongue parted my lips. He was enjoying every drop of my juices. His fingers played with my upper body. Gently rubbing my little titties. My back. He even played with my hair. When I saw my smiling face in the reflection of those giant eyes I came. Theo sucked on me to get every drop. I went limp. I could barely move I came so hard. He could slurp me in and swallow me whole if he wanted but I knew in my soul he would never do that. He pulled me out of his mouth and gently placed me next to him. I grew back to normal. "You taste delicious" he whispered. "My turn" I said. I placed my hand on his chest and shrank him down to 5 inches. I grabbed him up and licked my lips. “Want me to suck your tiny cock? Beg me" I purred. "Please suck my tiny cock" he said. I held him firm as my lips sucked his prick into my mouth. "Oh god" he hissed.

His tiny dick and balls were at my mercy as I sucked them. I squeezed his cute ass as I blew him. Theo groaned as he came. His little seed coated my tongue. I let go seeing him spent. I grew him back just so he could hold me. He left early the next morning. I didn't have to report in until later. I had to be at the elementary school at 10. I put on my uniform and checked on the woman I had prisoner. "Please...let...me go" she said weakly. "I plan to today but first you need to me smaller" I said. I touched her and she shrank down even further. Ant sized now. I placed her Ina old tic tac box. She had enough air for now. If she didn't try to crawl around she'd be fine I told her. I arrived at the school and was directed to the auditorium. All those kids out there. So many futures. One or two of them would be post-human possibly in the future. My actions made sure that for one they had a future and two if one of them had powers they would think about the cop that uses them for good.

I introduced myself and gave the speech about not doing drugs. Then came the answer questions part. "Ms. Leonard? Can we see your powers?" one boy asked. "Alright. Look carefully" I said. I shrank down to a foot. A couple ohhs and awws were heard. "Now I can get smaller but then it would be hard to see me" I said. One enthusiastic boy yelled for me to do it. "Alright come down and get close so you can see me" I said. The lucky boy did and came to the stage. The first row of kids got close too. I shrank down to 4 inches. They were amazed. "Now I would get smaller but I'm afraid someone might eat me" I said. The kids laughed. It was unnerving to me honestly.  Kids as young as 5 years old towered over me like they were 80 ft. tall. The little girl in front of me smiling with missing baby teeth. So many things could happen even accidentally. A kid could bump into her and I'd end up a stain on her shirt. Over the years I find that my trust in others gets smaller ironically the smaller I get.

"Wish I could shrink. I'd eat all the ice cream I wanted today" a chubby girl said. "You're having ice cream today?" I asked getting bigger. "Yes. The Kai's are getting an ice cream party today. Do you have time for it?" a teacher asked. I grinned at how I knew I would kill the speck of a woman in my pocket. "I wouldn't miss it" I said. It was just before noon as the kids piled into the cafeteria. It was cute seeing them smile as tubs of ice cream were on the tables. I grabbed some of my own, strawberry, and sat down. By chance the chubby girl before sat next to me. "What you get?" I asked. "Vanilla with sprinkles" she said. "Good choice" I said. "Was it scary when you got your powers?" she asked quietly. She seemed unnaturally nervous. "Yes it was" I said. "We're you afraid people would make fun of you?" she asked with more unnerving enthusiasm. "Not really. I was home schooled. What's your name?" I asked. "Tiffany" she said quietly. "Tiffany, do you know someone who just got powers?" I asked. She immediately froze. She looked terrified. "It's not a bad thing to have powers honey. It just means we're different. You have powers don't you?" I asked. Tears streamed from her face.

I gripped her shoulder. "It's okay sweetie. You look like your 10. It happens for some that early. Later in others. Do your parents know?" I asked. She shook her head. "I'm afraid they won't love me anymore" she said almost sobbing.  Poor kid. "If they're good parents they'll love you no matter what. What is your power?" I asked. She hesitated. A crash in the background caught my attention. A boy dropped his ice cream. I felt her hand grip mine and all of a sudden everything stopped. Like someone had hit a stop button. "You're doing this?" I asked. She nodded. My god. She could stop time! The world started up again. "That's amazing Tiffany! You could help so many people! You could stop people from getting hurt or catch bad guys!" I said. She smiled at me. "Catch bad guys?" she asked. I nodded. "Here's my card. You or your parents can call me if you need to talk" I said. I grabbed that tic tac box and held it in my hand. I waited till Tiffany turned away to tuck my card in her pocket. "It's a teacher's job to nourish kid’s minds. Today you'll nourish their body" I quietly whispered to the woman. I opened the box and tapped on it. The speck of a woman fell out into Tiffany’s ice cream.

"Would you like to be a police officer?" I asked. "Sure! Catch and punish bad guys!" she said. The cries of the woman were too tiny to be heard. The ice cream held her like cement. I watched with a grin as Tiffany took spoonfuls of ice cream. Each one getting closer to the woman. Tiffany could see her. She was the size of a sprinkle. Eventually Tiffany scooped her up. I watched intently as the woman disappeared into the kid's mouth and the spoon come out clean. Like most kids, she took a few seconds to savor the sweet rich flavor of vanilla ice cream. I felt my body warm at the thought of the wicked woman sucked on and rolled around in the young girl's mouth. Tiffany swallowed. Tiffany went for another spoonful and burped. She blushed. She had no clue she had just eaten a shrunken person. She had just punished her first criminal.

Over the next two weeks I eliminated drug houses and any vice we really knew on hand. This had two consequences. One I was counting on. First. Criminals went underground and were more careful about their daily activities. That meant hunting for them was harder. And two. The drug business was drying up fast and there were families out there that decided to do something about it. They brought in someone to take care of me. "Listen up folks. This vigilante business has got to stop now. The Feds are talking about bringing in special agents to hunt him down. I don't need people with x-Ray vision violating rights in my city. Now we all know that the drugs in the city are drying up. Normally that's good news except a snitch told a narc officer last night that the Coldstone family contracted Obsidian to take him out. If you see him call it in. For fuck's sake do not engage him! Now be safe out there" the captain said.

"This is getting crazy. Obsidian now? Thought that guy was a myth" Theo said. "So did I. I heard the stories" I said. Obsidian was talked about like he was an urban legend. Interpol sent us his file. He was 6'2". Medium build. What made him scary were two things. He was a post-human who had a very unique ability. Now here's the thing. It's very rare for a post-human to exhibit abilities that change their body structure. Like lizard skin or something else. Even rarer is they survive the experience. The bastard Changeling is an example of one who survived. Another is Obsidian. He's called that because his entire body is made of obsidian rock. Yeah. Fucking volcanic rock. Normally obsidian is brittle but at that size and thickness it's not. Tough. I doubt even a .50 sniper round would crack him. And then there's the second thing about him. He can produce shards of it. Like peeling off your skin and using it as a weapon.

Obsidian is sharp. Very fucking sharp.* In his file was a few of his victims. A rival head of a crime family was utterly shredded like pulled pork. Another was decapitated. The coroner first though someone used a saw until bits of obsidian was found stuck in the neck bone. If I wanted to continue this I would have to kill him. His death would send a message. Beacon City was a crime free zone. That night I purposefully walked around the worst part of town. I was surprised to see how quiet it was. I even saw an old couple walking down the street. As I walked though I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw nothing. I walked some more and heard them again. I dashed into an alley and shrank down to an inch and hid behind a discarded soda cup. Two guys appeared over me.

(Authors note: Very true. Sharper than razor blades even. It was used by Aztecs as weapons for centuries)  

"I saw her man. That was the vigilante!" one said. "You sure? That was a chick walking like that. I don't see some bitch knocking off that many guys" another said. One stepped very close to me. His buddy looking down the alley. I touched his foot and shrank him down to speck size.  Of course to me he was about 3 inches. He looked shocked. He began screaming to his friend for help. No way could he hear him. I walked over to a rain gutter leading to sewer grate. I just dropped him in. He'll either drown in filth or be eaten by a rat. Either way that was done. "Let's just look around some more. The boss will give us the reward instead of that euro trash Obsidian freak" he said. Well now. That sounded helpful. I grew back to normal. "Denny?" he said wondering why his friend hadn't answered. He saw me. "YOU!" he yelled reaching for a gun. I grabbed his shoulder and shrank him. His fun went off as he shrank and hit my hand. Ow! I was alright. Like a wasp sting. He stopped shrinking at two inches.

"It sounds like you know where Obsidian is" I said. "Please! Don't...AHHGH!" he yelled as I put some pressure on him. "I'm not about to listen to you beg. Where is Obsidian?!" I yelled. "He's at the Carlton hotel on 3rd and Main!" he yelled. "Why not with the family?!" I yelled. "The freak prefers to work alone!" he yelled. Perfect. Less trouble for me. "Please don't hurt me" he said. I didn't say a word as I began testing off his expensive clothes. I tossed them down the sewer. He was naked and shaking in fear. I put him in my pocket. A short bus ride got me to where I needed to go. A nice place like this would have cameras. I shrunk down and waited for a passerby. A valet came by and I hitched a ride on his pants leg. I dashed to the receptionist desk. There I waited. A woman in her 20's stood at the desk. Her feet must've hurt because she stood there in her stocking feet. An hour passed as the woman checked in people. She sat down and rubbed her feet on her legs. It sounded like giant sandpaper at my size. I could even smell them. A mixture or Lycra, aloe lotion, and sweat. "Damn she’s late and I need to go to the bathroom" she muttered. She looked around at the empty lobby. She got up and ran to the bathroom.

I quickly grew back to normal and began looking at the names. Of course he'd have a false name. People like him tend to be overconfident though. No doubt he'd chosen one ironic or stupid. Hello? What's this? Mr. Ebon Black. Room 515. Cute asshole. Real cute. I shrank down to an inch just as the woman returned. "Whoa!" I said as her left foot rose above me.  Her nylon covered sole was directly above me. I dashed out of the way just as it came down. The shockwave shook the floor. "Hopefully that's the only close call for me tonight" I said to myself. As I got out of view I grew back to normal and took the stairs up. I was out of breath by the time I got to the fifth floor. I made my way to room 515. I shrank down to one millimeter and got under the door. I looked around and saw nobody. Did I have the wrong room or maybe he wasn't here? I grew to one inch and ran to the nearby coffee table. It took a few minutes but I got there. Still nothing...wait...I hear a voice. "Has there been any word about a sighting?" a low pitched creepy voice asked. "Then has any of your crew not reported in?" he asked.

"I see. I'll go there shortly" he said. He came out from the back bedroom. Fuck me! It was like staring at a black statue! He had on only pants. He was bare everywhere else. Every part of his skin was rock right down to his giant toes. I gripped the table leg instinctively. A splinter of wood broke off I gripped so hard. How could I kill something like this?! Even if I shrank him he was still rock! Maybe if I shrank him small enough...wait. What's he doing? He's bending down why? "Interesting. Tiny footprints on the floor" he said. How could he see my footprints?" I wondered looking at my feet. Wait. Why are my shoes all black and dirty? I looked closer at the hardwood floor. What I saw wasn't walnut wood flooring. Oh shit. A very fine layer of black dust was on the floor. I immediately began to shrink down to hide. "Gotcha!" he yelled grabbing me between giant rocky fingers. He squeezed hard enough I couldn't concentrate to shrink. "Is this the vigilante?  A tiny woman? I think there's more to you" he said.
