“Yeah, I think I’m gonna go,” David said. He turned away from his confused, but concerned friends and headed into the bathroom.
He shoved the door and walked inside. It slowly got harder to think for him as his heart rate started to climb. He walked to the sinks, turned a faucet on, and started to bring water to his face.
David could hear the blood pumping in his ears as he was crouched down over the sink. He didn’t move when he heard the door open and someone walk in.
The newcomer walked up to the sink next to David and started washing their own hands. Then they spoke. “Nice costume, bro.”
David turned his head to see that the teen that walked in was none other than Carson, a popular athlete. He had a much more athletic build than David thanks to his time on the soccer team and the swim team. Atop his head was short, wavy dark brown hair, paired with his blue eyes. He was very tall, at 5’11”. It became immediately apparent to David why Carson had dropped the compliment: he also wore a Hulk costume.
“Thanks,” David muttered. “You too.”
Carson nodded. “Like the contacts too. It’s a nice touch.”
“Contacts?”
“Yeah,” Carson affirmed. “The green eyes are hella dope.”
David looked up at the mirror to see that his gray eyes had become a fiery, radioactive green! The thing is, he knew he didn’t put any contacts, so surely that means…
“I’m changing,” David muttered. His muscles started to ache even more, but a sudden burst of energy was released inside him.
“What?”
David closed the faucet and stepped away from the mirror. Almost immediately, the teen felt another pang of pain, but this time, he truly started to change. By this time, it finally occurred to him that he was turning into a green, muscular beast like the superhero.
His hands closed up into fists as his arms started to gain muscle. His suit felt tight as his biceps grew, then exploded through the sleeves of his green costume. He flexed his arms and breathed heavily, then saw the look of borderline awe and panic on Carson’s face.
“Bro, you’re…“ Carson started. “You’re hulking out!”
David’s changes didn’t stop there. His torso grew and packed on muscle. He dug his hands into the chest of his costume and pulled, ripping the costume into two parts. His slimmer body had noticeably gained a significant amount of mass and definition. His flat chest grew hard pecs, and hard abs started to develop on his stomach. All the while, his skin started to gain a green tint, slowly matching his costume (with a much more natural look).
He lost his balance and fell to the ground, messing up his originally neat black hair, which now had a green sheen to it.. He maintained some control but it was clear he couldn’t think straight. The weird thing is… it seems like David’s almost enjoying it.
A subtle grin crept across David’s face. He stood once again, but he was taller than before. He had his height climbing from 5’8”, past the 6-foot mark. and nearing the 7-foot mark. His defined calves now looked greener, thicker and much more muscular, along with his thighs, as they stretched and burst through the legs of his costume. His feet burst through his Converse, leaving him barefoot. The fake pants of his costume turned into real purple-dyed jeans that were cut and tattered into shorts. Those jeans still hung on to dear life, looking stuffed and pushed to its limit.
In a matter of minutes, a huge, muscular teen Hulk took the place of the skinny David. The body he had rivaled the most muscular football player. His face was still recognizable as the smaller, reluctant teen, but this superhero form was much different.
“Hell yeah,” David muttered out in a deeper, more menacing voice.
