Welcome back everyone. Ken will get a bit of his appearance described in each chapter. Enjoy and review.

Freak

"Hey! Herbie Brown!" Howard turned and there was Ken. Ken had his right hand up waving. Why the juice did Ken have on three fingers on his right hand? He had a thumb and an index figure but why the juice were the remaining three fused together?

"I thought you were going to be calling me 'Costello.'"

"I'll call you what I want, you fat tub of lard!" Ken proceeded to poke Howard in the chest. Coming from Ken and his disfigured right hand if felt weird.

"Yeah, okay." Howard's eyes were on Ken's hand. It was just so hard not to stare.

"Now, Herbie Brown, about that ninja, monsters and robots… tell me the truth. Are they real?"

"Yeah, they are." Howard's answer was met with a slap in the face from Ken. Ken used his right hand and it was weirder than being poked in the chest by it.

"I told you not to lie!"

"I'm not lying?" Again Howard got a slap in the face from Ken. Again it was from his right hand. It must have been what being hit by a penguin's flipper was like!

"You're lying right now!"

"You're a freak!" This time Howard didn't get a slap to the face. Howard's eyes were on Ken's flipper of a right hand. He just gave a smile and nodded. "You think that's a compliment? Dude, you are juiced up!"

"Yes!" Ken started to rub his chin with that flipper of his. "I am beautiful!"

Howard stared in disbelief. How could someone liked Ken consider himself beautiful? Especially with a right hand like that? At least his left hand was normal looking, despite the lack of a thumb.

"Okay… I'm just gonna…" And thus exited Howard! Being seen with Ken would not help his reputation.

Ken watched as Howard walked away. He should have asked if Heidi had a boyfriend. If she didn't then that was excellent, if she did then he'd just be "a victim of the conspiracy."

Ken reached out a hand and grabbed the nearby Bucky Hensletter. "Bucky!" He couldn't believe he just said that! Was this guy's dad a "Captain America" fan? "I hear you've been turned into a monster a few times."

"Two times actually."

"So obviously you must have a split personality! So you freaked out went all Mr. Hyde but it doesn't mean you actually physically turned into a monster… unless you're like a Lycanthrope because that would be totally awesome." Ken chuckled. "I can watch while the police open fire and kill you."

Bucky was shaking in fear. "Kill me?"

"Yeah… You'd be a danger to society so either you'd be killed or escape into the wilderness and spend the rest of your life as some hairy man beast!" Ken was an odd one. He had a fascination in cryptology, alien life and the supernatural. When he heard about the monsters he was excited, then he heard about the ninja and the robots and became skeptical. After a couple of days of seeing nothing he came to the conclusion it was all a conspiracy.

"Uh…" Then Bucky ran off. The thought of death must have been too much for him.

"Just don't become a Wendigo! There's no escaping those things!" As Bucky ran away he ended up crashing into Stevens. The sight of this only caused Ken to smile. That was enough of preying on the fear of others for now. He had some bad traits, some good traits but after all he was only human. Time to get to class!
