Jake woke up rather tired this morning, and groaned as he stood out of bed. He then went through his normal morning routine, shower, brushing teeth, picking out clothes. Today, he went with a brown T-Shirt with palm trees on it, light blue jeans, and blue and white tennis shoes. He looked in the mirror, examining his face with his blue-green eyes. He decided that his hair needed to be fixed, so he grabbed his comb and ran it through his hair.

After deciding that he looked nice enough, he headed downstairs for breakfast. He grabbed a random box of cereal and some milk and poured it into a red bowl he found in another cabinet. He grabbed a spoon and began to eat it, enjoying the fruity taste. After about 10 minutes, he was done and put the bowl and other items where they needed to go. He then looked at the clock next to the fridge, and decided to continue his day.

He shook his head, to get his hair out of his eyes, even though it really wasn't in his eyes at all, it was now just reflex. Jake then moved over to the den, one of the more commonly visited room. Jake proceeded to sit on one of the couches in the den, just because it was comfortable. He ran a hand through his blonde hair as he heard footsteps walking towards him. He normally would've ignoreed it, but something told him to do otherwise. He then looked up to see who the footsteps belonged to.

Calvin slowly walked down too the Den, he suffered from a serious case of bed head as his stubble was delving into the realms of fully grown beard. He had hardly slept due to a stakeout he had carried out the night before which culminated in nothing exiting happening. He was quite looking forward too some real action, he had recently absorbed Wolverine’s ability of Healing and he had yet too try it out on a real opponent.

Calvin wore a vest with some striper pyjama bottoms, he had no intention of leaving the institute today therefore pyjamas were all he really needed, plus he always needed an excuse to wear a vest, he rarely got to show off his arms. His bare feet felt comfortable as they sunk into the carpet.

Cal walked into the room, it was empty bar one kid sitting on the couch, Cal had seen him around as they walked through the school but never been in such close proximity. Calvin’s stomach began to make a peculiar noise. One he had come to understand as his powers activating, his DNA was synchronizing with Jakes.

“Hey you aren’t radioactive are you?” Cal asked as the powers began to synchronize, he didn’t want to blow up the mansion. “Because now would be a good time to tell me if you are.” He asked unaware of the slow transition he was making from a male to a female as the beard he had grown absorbed into his face as his muscles severely decreased in mass.

He looked up to at the man, seeing that he was wearing pajamas, and had some seriously messed up hair. He obviously just woke up, or didn't take care of himself yet. He shook his head once again, out of reflex, and felt a weird wave flush over him. He didn't know exactly what it was, but he saw the other man was unaffected, so he assumed it was just his cereal digesting. He coughed once and then noticed the man looking at him.

He heard his question, but was hesitnt to answer, because it was a rather peculiar question. He then said simply, "No, I'm not radioactive." He didn't want to mention his actual powers, since they were rather embarassing. A magazine caught his eye, so he picked it up to look over, but he saw the man was still there. So, he simply put it down, and decided to see what he needed from him.

However, when he looked up at him, he had rub his eyes and look again. He noticed the man's stubble shrinking into his face. He then jumped up and got closer to him, looking at his face once again. "Dude, what's going on with your face?" he said, waving his fingers around the same area as the other man's stubble, now almost gone. He was hoping that it had something to do with his power and not some strange thing that didn't ordinarily happen to him.

Cal felt his face his smooth skin was almost peachy, “Oh my god what’s happening too me?” Cal asked, his voice was far higher than before, he looked at his hands that were still rough and uncared for now had a feminine shape. Cal rushed to the wall and stared into the mirror, he had become a girl. His hands slid across his face his feminine features were a complete shock too him as his hair also grew to shoulder length.

“I’m…” he said followed by a long pause, “I’ve got…” he said as he looked down to see perfectly formed boobs. ”Whoa” he said half disgusted and half intrigued. He stared mesmerizingly into the mirror; unable to remove his gaze, was it wrong too find yourself hot? He thought subconsciously before thinking of the ramifications, those of which made his brain hurt.

“Tell me this is your power” he asked pointing too his chest, “Because it is so messed up” he said. As he refrained from touching the boob to simply see what it felt like. "I'm Calvin, Mimic" he said as he extended her newly feminine hand too Jake.

He saw the man changing before his eyes, and he couldn't believe his eyes. First his face softened up, looking more girly by the second. Then, he saw the man movehis hands across his face, and two things began to astound him, the feminine hands and the high-pitched voice that exited his throat. He watched as the man continued to look over his new dainty hands and Jake was speechless. The man ran over to the mirror as Jake saw hair begin to grow rapidly.

The hair had grown down in a beautiful cascade of brunette hair. The mirror showed the last noticeable part of his change, the growth on his chest. He simply stood, both dumbfounded and wide-eyed. This was both the strangest and hottest sight he had ever seen, because, despite knowing this was the guy he just saw not two minutes ago, she was hot. He actually had to hold in his arousal to keep from looking even stranger.

He simpl shook his head slowly, to answer his first question, but realized that he wasn't really answering him correctly. "Uh..Umm..Yes..Yes it's my power." He didn't like hearing that his power was being called messed up, like he didn't know that already. He shook the dainty hand and said, "I.I'm Jake, no codename yet." He then said, "Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but you're really hot." His eyes struggled to give this girl the second over, er..guy, or whatever he was.

Cal smiled touched by the comment, he must have changed everything even his hormone balance in the transformation, as it wasn’t for a few moments he remembered that he was in fact a male trapped within a female body which confused Cal a lot, something that didn’t happen very much as he was extremely intelligent.

“No offence meant too your power,” he said making up for his past statement, “It’s just not the most convenient I have a reputation too keep up.” Cal flicked the hair from his face he has become more feminine in his movement, his powers did not just mimic the mutation also the personality of the person he was mimicking, in this case Marissa.
“You like, do know how too change this don’t you?” he asked, his voice becoming more like a teenage girl by the second, as footsteps echoed through the hallway outside the room, “Because now would be a really good time to tell me.” he began to panic hoping nobody would come into the den.

Jake was glad that s/he didn't mind being called attractive. Then again, Marissa would alway hit on the guy for twenty minutes after being told she's pretty, so he considered himself lucky at the moment. He sat back on the couch and twitched his head to the left, so as to shift his hair. "It's ok, if anybody knows that those powers are inconvenient, I do." he said, not wanting to admit how big of a problem they were to him.

However, Jake did notice that he was moving different now to, and it wasn't just his steps, it was how his hands moved. It was actually rather disturbing. The last sentence really scared him though, mostly the first two words. However, the response he had to give did not help anything at all. "No, I'm sorry Calvin." he felt really bad about having to say that, since it obviously wouldn't help his already awkward situation.

Jake could hear the footsteps as well, but saw that the kid who came down was obviously so sleepy that he couldn't tell what time of day it was and he headed straight into the kitchen. "Looks like your safe from him though." he said, pointing in the direction the kid just went in.

“Calvin” he said followed by a long meaningful pause, “It just doesn’t really fit anymore. Maybe . . .” he paused again, he has gone from a straightforward thinking young adult to an air headed teenage girl and the presence of the sleepy teenager also threw him off. ”Call me Mary!” Cal said followed by a loud, feminine giggle.

It was at this exact moment Cal realized he was no longer in control of his body, he could see everything, feel everything but something had taken over and it wasn’t something evil simply a side of his personality he never though he had. He struggled within his own head as he felt the telepathy of the sleepy student activate in his genes. he just hoped he could keep it maintained and 'Mary' didn't activate it or he could be in this form for quite some time.

“Yeah Mary that’s perfect.” she glided over too the sofa where Jake was sitting, she was using Cal’s power to fly across the room; something Cal wound never consider as his powers were primarily for use in battle. She landed with a small thud beside the blond boy. “So you just wait around for until you go back? That totally sucks!” she pouted her lips and folded her arms.

He watched as her focus seemed to switch from the powers to her name. He had wondered if this would happen to the former man, just as it did to him. However, that seemed like the facts as this once strong man turned into one of the hottest teenage girls he had ever seen, and he had to struggle to keep his arousal hidden. Darn those teenage hormones! "I guess Mary could be a nice name for you." he said, just trying to agree with her.

Honestly, he thought she should have a more uncommon name, like Candice or Danielle, but it wasn't worth complaining over. He saw her float over to him, and assumed it had something to do with Calvin's normal powers. She landed near him, and he made a light sigh as she did so. "You're telling me." he said, not actually liking turning into Marissa all the time.

He looked at the clothing she was wearing, which, while it showed off her body in the right places, wasn't exactly feminine. "You know, since I turn into Marissa so much, I have some girl clothes in a compartment in my closet in my room." he said, pointing, upwards, meaning to point to his room. "They might a little bit tight on you since you're a little bit more..developed." he said, having to pause so as not to say the wrong thing. It was true, this girl had the face of a teenager, but the body of a 24 year old, a dangerous combination.

“That would be so totally sweet!” Mary exclaimed as she clapped her hands together, she was oblivious to her other personality that resided within her head, she hopped too her feet and looked down too her clothes, “I’m such a slob! You don’t happen to have any make up do you?” she asked as she looked into the mirror.

It was the last straw for Calvin, he projected telepathically too Jake, “If you dare let me put makeup on myself I will personally hurt you!”. The words echoed intrusively through Jakes head with Calvin’s deep masculine voice, subconsciously he tried to escape from the body to try and figure out the power but the telepathy he had acquired was not very advanced and he was having difficulties figuring it out, as it was so primitive he was not grasping it properly. Calvin had borrowed Emma Frost and Jean’s powers however this was proving to be more difficult.

He focused once more and created a simple thought link between Jake and himself, “Seriously there needs to be a way to reverse this, maybe you could knock me out or something?” he said desperately knowing that it was not likely not work. Cal slowly scanned though Jakes conscious realizing that there was another conscience within him, Marissa. “How do you get rid of her? Marissa?”

Almost as soon as Cal posed the question Mary had grabbed Jake’s wrist and yanked it softly, “Come on I need to get out of these disgusting things I’m completely on display.” she smiled almost flirtatiously with Jake as she fluttered her eyelashes at him. Leaving Cal cringing with embarrassment from within.

He saw her jump up and was astounded at the quick reaction. He was not usually one to admit it, but he did have a make-up kit that weas bought by Marissa, but only he and Marissa knew where the key to the case he hid it in was, so it was safe from others seeing it. "Yes, I do, Marissa is kind of a make-up nut, so I've got plenty." he said, still sitting down and looking at her.

He then recieved the message from Calvin, but couldn't do a thing about it, because his telepathy only allowed conversation with Marissa, but that could be because they shared a mind, sort of like the Stepford Cuckoos. He hoped that he could hear his thoughts without the need for him to send them though, simply saying "I already told her I do, so, if I don't let her, she'll get angry with me, and you'll get stuck longer."

"It wouldn't work, it would only make it worse, because she's your subconcious and it would leave her in control, and you out like a light." he sent another thought to Calvin, hoping he would understand. He truly hadn't found a means of controlling Marissa, or any other of his powers, yet. "I can't get rid of her, originally I went through a bit of a panic like you are in now, and I still do sometimes, but I've learned that it feels like it's going by much quicker if you just stay calm, take some time to reduce your stress a bit. She'll be piloting you around, I'll try to keep her in the house to the best of my abilities, so one has to see you publically in girly clothing and make-up if you change back." he sent this thought to him, answering his final question, but giving some advice. He hadn't realized that he said 'if' instead of 'when', but was soon snapped back out of their conversation.

He felt Mary's wrist grab his and pick him up from the couch. "Okay, I'm sure there's plenty of things that'll fit your great figure." he said, probably sounding like a flirt back, but it could've been her eye-thing effecting him. He decided to send Calvin one thought as he led Mary to his room,"Who knows, maybe you'll discover the secret to taming the girl form while you're in that body, it would sure help me out if anything. Anyways, I'll keep Mary under control, don't worry to much, this is usually when I try to forget everything, you feel much more refreshed when you return back to your normal form."

After a while of moving, he sent her to his room and pulled out a huge suitcase of Marissa's clothing saying, "These might a little tight, but it should relatively fit you." He then opened up a picture frame of Marissa and pulled a key that was hidden behind it, and then unlocked a smaller suitcase then the first to reveal a large make-up kit. "Alright, I'll be waiting outside for you to change and get some make-up on."

Calvin wasn’t sure if Jake could hear the profanities that he was thinking as Mary looked through the clothes and pressed them against himself, he was slightly distracted as he witnessed himself get changed in front of the mirror, also trying on new clothes although the distraction was in no way long enough he couldn’t help but panic.

Like many girls Mary was unable to make a proper decision as too what to wear the longer it took the telepathy became weaker and eventually faded away completely however he wasn’t going to take that risk with this power, he wasn’t sure if Mary would even let him. What was worse; upon losing the powers he could stay in the female form. Cal was again trapped within his own mind once more not even Jake could hear him, he decided too do what Jake advised and took the back seat and waited too see how it played out.

Mary finally decided on jeans and a red and white striped top. as she began to apply make up too her pale skin. ”You can come back in.” she said calmly as she rubbed lip gloss onto her lips. “So what do you think? she asked as she pouted her luscious lips. She then put some eyeliner on with a small amount of shadow, ”What should I do with these? she asked as she held the large pyjamas of Calvin.

He stood outside as Mary changed, leaning against the wall. He could no longer hear Calvin, but he hoped he was doing alright. He stood tapping his foot on the floor, awaiting the word for him to come on in. He did think that Mary was gorgeous, but couldn't do much about it, because it was still Calvin inside that hot body.

He heard her permission was granted o him and stood up straight once more. He then put his fist around the bronze handle and turned it in order to open the door. He looked to his left and saw Mary putting the lip gloss on, and then saw her reach for the eye make-up, simply astounded at how this girl looked. "I think you look great." he said, trying to be as honest as possible without sounding creepy.

He saw the girl hand him Calvin's pajamas and he simply stated that he would take of it. He put them away in an empty drawer of a dresser he had beside his bed. He then looked back over at the girl, wondering what exactly she was thinking, and how Calvin was managing inside Mary's brain, but all that actually left his mouth was, "So, are you planning anything for today?"

”I want to go out, I ant too fly out there.” she said as she walked towards the window and placed her hand on the cold glass, “But I’ve got a nagging feeling inside y head telling me that I shouldn’t” she sighs deeply and looks to Jake. Mary was feeling a vast amount of conflict, she had the excitement and awe of a child however she knew it wouldn’t last, she would soon be nothing again, she wanted too do something monumental too mark her existence that she knew was coming too a close.

She moved away from the window while moving a strand of hair from her face, ”Am I interrupting your plans?” she asked as she walked to Jake’s bed and sat on the edge, “Because I’ll lave you alone if that’s the case.” she said in a run down way as she began too play with her hair.

Calvin remained in the head while hearing everything; it was almost metaphysical as he floated in an empty dark space as neon words floated all around including mathematical theorem. Cal was looking at the theorem trying too figure out what it all meant. He was beginning too understand the abilities as he closed his eyes and focused on his eyes simply willing them too change colour, it was successful. Unknown too Mary; her eyes changed colour back to their original green as she spoke too Jake.

"Hey, maybe you will one day." he said, never actually knowing if Calvin would ever let Mary come out again. "Maybe you should listen to that feeling, it could mean something bad'll happen if you don't." he said, telling the truth while trying to save his hide from Calvin. So, he walked over to her and leaned against a wall near her, so the he was facing her, while only about 4 feet from her.

He looked out the window with her as he heard her question. "No, actually I didn't have any plans for the day. If anything, you're giving me something to do." he said, as he watched her walk to his bed. He deicded to follow and replied with a, "No, you don't have to leave, I like being around you." He was trying to be comforting, and, without realzing it, placed hi hand over hers. After a second, her jerked it away and blushed. "Sorry about that."

Jake then layed down on his bed and wondered if it was a bad thing to find a girl, who isn't technically even real, hot. Sure, Marissa was pretty, but seeing her all the time was annoying. Mary however was drop-dead gourgeous with a body that Marissa wanted. He even heard her voice saying that as soon as she learned how, she was going to turn into Mary. Jake had to hold in a laugh from this and then came back up from his resting position.

Calvin urged Mary to withdraw the hand sharply as he felt it interrupt his manipulation of the brain, “No no no!” he shouted loudly as his voiced echoed through the vast space inside his head, “Oh got please don’t do anything I beg you not to do anything!” he said as he squirmed around quickly trying too figure out the power from scratch once more having lost focus the first time.

Mary smiled as she felt Jake’s hands upon her own, she enjoyed hearing the compassion within his voice, she believed every word he said although she knew it was most likely an impossibility, one Calvin got control of the body once more he would know how to withhold this power and never use it, she had to make the most of her existence. Jake’s mistake acted as the catalyst for Mary’s change of heart.
“Don’t be sorry” she said in a whispering tone as she placed a hand onto his cheek to turn his face towards his slowly and she moved towards him with intention too kiss him.

Calvin looked on in awe desperately trying to change back but unable as he felt a knot in his stomach as ‘he’ was about too kiss Jake. It was like watching a car crash in ultra slow motion. He wished he could stop it but it was beyond his control he couldn’t even communicate with Mary anymore which he was unsure if that was a good or a bad thing, maybe he could capitalize on the severance as he returned to figuring out the power trying to ignore the fact he was about to kiss a guy.

Upon the return from his restful position, he heard Mary speak. The voice was soft and sweet and he smiled. He hadn't truly smiled in so long. He had always been so preoccupied with his Marissa issue, but, this time, it seemed to work for him. He felt her hand on his face and loved the feeling of the soft hand. He continued to smile, glad that Calvin hadn't come back yet.

He saw her draw in closer, and remembered it was Calvin. However, a mixture of his newfound happiness and the girl's looks made him lose all care. He leaned in as well and felt his lips meet hers. It was such a happy moment for him, something he hadn't had in a long time. As bad as it sounded, he didn't want Calvin to come back, because Mary made him smile.

He placed his hands around her waist as he closed his eyes to enjoy the kiss. Her lips were soft and full, and probably the best kiss he would ever receive. This girl was quite possibly the most gourgeous girl he had ever seen, better then movies and Tv or anything else imaginable. The best part was, she was real and right in front of him, kissing him.

A cold shiver ran down Calvin’s spine, that would be if Calvin had a spine, he began to hum to himself the theme song of ‘The Great Escape’ hoping it would help inspire him as he looked at the jargon written in the sky. His knowledge of biology and biochemistry equated to nothing when dealing with mutant powers. There was such a diverse amount that he always felt like an idiot dealing with new powers. He tried to relate the powers to something else in his arsenal comparing the equations to no avail as he could feel Jakes tongue entering his mouth.

Mary took the lead and leant further forward placing one hand on Jake’s shoulder manoeuvring him onto the bed as she was pressed on top of him. She enjoyed throwing caution too the wind and making out with Jake she ran her hand through his hair as she continued to passionately kiss him.

Mimic was feeling awkward it was like waking in on your parents; only more surreal. Cal quickly flickered through the powers in his head and found a match, well an almost match, Wolverine’s healing ability. The ability to regenerate cells at a miraculous rate. He applied some of the same principals and imagined his hand had been cleaved off and how I would regenerate subconsciously, only this time he needed to mould what his hand would become. He thought of his fully formed masculine hand.

Mary stopped as she felt a tingling sensation in her hand, as she looked at it was changing before her very eyes. She broke off her kiss and separated herself from Jake, “It’s happening now.” she said in an almost panicked voice, “I’m changing back!”

Calvin laughed as he began to morph the arm a joined too her hand, he had figured it out and not at a better time, if Mary was anything like he was Jake would have been about to have a very good day. He struggled too keep his focus but persisted knowing he had too act now before he could be counteracted by Mary.

He felt her hand press against, but he didn't resally care. Soon, he was pressed against the bed with her on top of him, kissing him passionately. He loved the feeling of her fingers through his blonde hair. He placed his hands on her waist and continued to enjoy the kiss.

Sure, he knew Calvin was in there, but she made him to happy to care. However, she broke the kissand he simply said, "Wow...." before hearing her statement. He shot back up and saw the manly hand. No...Not now. he thought to himself as he continued to stare at the hand.

He soon looked at her and said, "I hope to see you again Mary, maybe Calvin will let you one day." He gave her a hug, while she was still a her. He then released and heard Marissa say, Tell her there's a section of the brain she can strore herself in. It's the back of the left lobe. He quickly repeated what she said, "Marissa says that there's a section you can keep your personality in the back of the left lobe." He honestly wanted to keep her alive in some form, because she was to amazing to simply end in less then an hour of life.

Mary smiled enthusiastically with the last bit of information, she rushed towards Jake and planted a kiss on his lips, her arm had returned to its normal state and looked grotesque on the female body. She broke of the kiss and whispered into jake’s ear, “Just something for you to remember me by.” she said as her body morphed extremely quickly, she was no more. What was left of the Mary conscience was lost in Calvin’s psyche. All that remained was a fully grown man in the clothes of a teenage girl.

“God I don’t know what’s more embarrassing” were the first words to come out of Calvin’s newly masculine mouth. “These clothes. Or the fact we made out” he said jokingly with an air of underlying seriousness. “At least my other personality isn’t a closer brotherhood.” he said trying to make a joke but he could see Jake was still feeling the loss. Calvin was unaware that Jake had told Mary about the secret location too hide herself as he was too busy concentrating on transforming his body.

“Are you OK dude?” Cal said as he put his arm around the young mutant’s shoulders, “It worked. I’m back, wearing women’s clothes, but back none the less.”

He felt her soft lips once more and tried to hold in tears. He simply made a depressed face as the last remnants of Mary faded away. He soon flopped on his bad, and listened to his words. "Technically, YOU didn't..." he said, with a depressed tone as he put emphasis on the word you. He face showed neither depression nor happiness, it was completely solemn.

He looked up at the ceiling, as if he was completely ignoring Calvin. His face did not change no matter what he said. Soon, he was told to cheer up and simply said "Woohoo." rather unemotionally, still missing Mary. "Your clothes are in the bottom drawer of that dresser." he said, pointing over to the dresser.

"Sorry, I guess I liked Mary more then I should have." he said, as he felt a strange tingle. "Oh, don't tell me." Soon, his hand began to change into a small and feminine one. "Perfect, from one girl to another." he said, sighing as his arm began to change. He was so used to this by now, and Mimic had already experienced, that he really didn't have reason to begin a panic about it.
