"Hey Mike!" Ty said to his friend the next day, "Guess what!"
"Considering the last few days, it could be anything, Ty," Michael said, gesturing for Ty to come in. You see, Ty had decided to go over to his gainer friends' house, mostly so he could share his news in person.
"According to Peter, there's a relative in town who can get powers like ours!" Ty explained excitedly, "He's almost 15, so he should be receiving his powers real soon! He's suggested he and I go and talk to him about it, prepare him a little. Lord knows it would've helped me... Wanna come?" Mike shrugged.
"When do we go over there?"
"Peter's over there now. I can get us there real quick to meet him, though."
"Go ahead." Ty nodded, and as Mike blinked, he felt a bit dizzy. He opened his eyes to find the two of them on a sidewalk. "Where are we headed?"
"To the blue house over there," Ty explained, walking forward at a brisk pace. Mike waddled after him, trying, and failing, to keep up. They eventually made it to the house, and rang the doorbell. Peter answered it.
"What took you guys so long?" Peter asked, only half joking. Behind him was a boy who looked vaguely like Peter and Ty, but had curly hair and was much shorter. Ty and Mike walked inside, and Peter closed the door behind them.
"Is he the other guy you said had powers?" He asked, in a slightly deeper voice than expected, but not by much, pointing to Ty. Then he yawned. "And can I get proof of these so-called 'powers' now, since you were so adamant on waiting for these guys?"
"In a sec," Peter said to the guy behind him, and then turned to Ty and Michael "This is Trevor, our distant relative. He's eligible for powers, too, but is the only one in his family who is," He explained, "I didn't want to demonstrate without you guys, but I've explained the basics of the powers to him already. He's still a bit skeptic, though. Ty, why don't you demonstrate with Mike? His parents are at work, anyway," Ty nodded, and then gestured to the aforementioned fat person.
"I'm Ty, and this is Mike," Started Ty, motioning to himself and to his friend for Trevor, "He's a big guy, right? Watch this..." Suddenly, Mike started deflating until he went from his current 400 lbs to his previous 180 lb form.
"And? It could've been a fat suit or something, with a deflation button you have on you" Trevor reasoned. Obvious to the other people in the room, this would be a hard sell.
"What about this?" Ty said, gesturing again. Mike was scowling a little from his loss of weight, but felt a bit odd as he started looking down more to look at Trevor. He was getting taller! He felt his body get bigger, too, but differently from usual- now he was getting more muscular. He could feel something deep inside him change... plus he felt a beard coming on. Ty was making him older, too! "Could a fat suit do that?" Mike was speechless, but Trevor was not.
"Whoa! How'd you do that! Can I do stuff like that? When do I get to? What can it do? Can you-" Peter lifted a hand to silence his younger relative.
"Yes, you can do this stuff, and you get to do it on your next birthday. That's in a week, isn't it?" Peter paused for a moment, and Trevor nodded, "The power can change people physically and, if you practice enough, even mentally or emotionally. But that's much harder," He turned to Michael, "This is a friend of ours who's quite fond of getting changed by our powers. Do you want a test-go? Or do you want to wait for a while? We can hang out in the meantime, though, and answer any questions you have."
"Well..." Trevor said.
