Virgil knocked on the door, his best bud Richie standing a little bit behind him. They had just finished patrol as Static and Gear and thought that they should stop by and see why Ivan hadn't been at school today.

"What is he doing?" He asked knocking again.

"Maybe he's sick and can't get to the door. Chill man." Said Richie.

Just as Virgil was about to knock again the door opened and there was a flash of a white hand and thick red locks.

"Sorry didn't get the door quicker. I was in the green house." Said Ivan.

Richie and Virgil just gawked. This couldn't be Ivan. His skin was devoid of any freckles and white as rose pedals. His hair which had always been shoulder length and slightly grease and stringy was now just below his knees in thick red/pink waves and serpentine curls. He wore a black tank top under a small lime green sweater that hung off his left shoulder. His jeans were dark denim and ripped at the knees and along the thighs. Was this really Ivan Isley?

"We were in the neighborhood so we thought we should stop by. Dude what the fuck!" said Richie indicating Ivan's new look.

The redhead laughed, his white teeth looking sharp behind his red lips. Was it Virgil or did his canines look a little longer then usual.

"It's a wonder what a trip to the mall can do for a boy" said Ivan leaning out the door.

"So that's why you weren't at school yesterday or today." Said Virgil.

"You ditched to go shopping. Daisy and Frieda are going to kill you for not inviting them."

I stepped aside to let Richie and Virgil inside the house. I wasn't expecting them and was happy they had come to see me. I swept them up to my room and they made themselves comfortable.

"Oh we brought your homework." Said Richie digging in his backpack for it. I took it from him with a thank you.

"We had had four tests today. Sure hope you can get a make up." Said Virgil.

Ivan set at his desk and turned on his computer.

"I'll just email my teachers and tell them I have been ill and it would mean the world to me if they allowed me to take another test." He said flipping his heavy locks over his shoulder. The room was suddenly filled with the smell of flowers and fruit. Virgil felt dizzy and his skin was hot. Richie seemed to fill the same because he pulled off his hoodie and fanned himself.

"Oh I'm sorry. You guys must be burning up after that walk all the way from school. Let me get you some tea." Said Ivan getting up from his computer and heading out the door after seeing the two.

Rich stood up and opened the huge window of Ivan room and tried to steady his breath. This was strange. He wasn't just hot he was hot and bothered. Horny as hell. He wanted so much to rub his dick. Hell he wanted Ivan to rub his dick. He wanted to pick the pretty little redhead up and fuck him crazy while Virgil watched. Wait, what the hell he was thinking? Ivan was a guy and Richie wasn't gay. He shook his head and whipped the sweat from his brow

"Yo rich. You feeling ok." Said Virgil walking over to his friend. Rich shook his head.

"I don't know I feel odd." He said. Virgil nodded and set next to him

"Me too. I don't know what it is."

Hell he didn't just feel odd, He was hard as rock, his black dick was throbbing in his boxers and he couldn't place why. He wanted to pull the thing and just go to town. No, what he really wanted was to get Ivan's sinfully inviting lips around it. Hold it. Had he just thought that? He was loosing his mind. Virgil liked girls; he had had a crush on Frieda for half a year and was now dating Daisy. He wasn't gay.

Ivan came back into the room carrying two large cups of ice cold tea with lemon wedge and straws. The boys jostled him taking the cuts and taking deep thirsty swallows.

"Ivan it just me or it hot in here." Said Virgil still a little heated.

Ivan cocked his head shrugged.

"I don't feel anything. But let's go outside. Today is too pretty for indoors any way."

The three headed down the stairs and out the back door. The back yard was overflowing with plant life and resembled a jungle more then a lavish estate garden.

"Wow their all too beautiful." Said Richie looking at rose bush with huge red blooms.

"Thank you." Said Ivan his cheek giving what could only be the very shadow of a blush. They set down at a very floral garden table and talked bout what had happened at school but Virgil and Richie could get the need for Ivan out of their minds though out here in the open it wasn't as strong.

"So Ivan is your thumb the only part of you that's green?" Said Richie jokingly

But he was just dieing to know.

"You'll just have to find out now won't you?" Said Ivan.

Was it just me or were Virgil and Richie acting odd. They were constantly fluffing out their shits to get more air to their body or fanning themselves. They both looked flushed. But this wasn't what was striking me as odd. They set closely on either side of me their thighs pressed to my own, they touched me more and when I spoke I could have sworn their eyes glossed over and their mouths grew slack jawed. It was almost as it they were enchanted.

Riche leaned into my as we both chuckled at his joke but then Virgil pulled me away and put a protective if not possessive arm around me.

"Ha-ha. Yeah real funny rich." He said and Richie glared at him as he raised his middle finger.

"So how about we go look at your pretty flowers." said Virgil placing his chin on my shoulder dangerously close to my neck.

"I would love that but unfortunately I spilt fertilizer all over the place this morning and the place smells to high heaven." I sighed laying into his arms and placing my legs across Richie's lap.

For a moment it flashed in my mind just what they could do to me.

Richie wanted so much to run his hands up Ivan's long beautiful legs till he reached the top of his tight jeans. He wanted to undo the buttons and grasp the pale white treasure between his legs. He could almost feel it in his hands. He was sure it was large compared to his small frame; it was soft and inviting just like his life. For the first time in his life Richie thought what another boy's dick would fill like in his hands against his flesh, in his mouth. That thought was what brought him back to reality and he tried to ignore the sight of Virgil slightly nuzzling Ivan's neck. What was wrong with him?

Virgil wanted to clamp his mouth on the soft white throat of this beautiful swan. He wanted to pull Ivan close to him and bite down like some kind of vampire. He wanted to run his hand down the albino chest and into the tight ripped jeans. Was Ivan pack between his slim legs, he had to be most skinny guys were. Virgil just bet it was soft and yielding like the petals of a rose. He wanted to grasp the silky treasure and make Ivan moan with ecstasy till me nutted all over himself. Yeah he wanted to make the little flower cum so he could lick the sweet nectar off his fingers and savor the taste.

Virgil set up a little straighter trying to shake the last few thoughts from his mind. He couldn't believe had even had the thought in his head.

"So we can't go in the greenhouse." Wined Richie.

Ivan giggled and stood up.

"You two just stay here; I'll bring out some of my newest flowers and ferns." He said and headed for the green house.

Was it Richie's imagination or did the grass get taller and greener where Ivan stepped.

"Ivan's great isn't he." Said Richie and Virgil nodded.

"Just perfect."

"So nice"

"And hot

"And kind"

"And hot."

"And hot"

Unconsciously both boys had begun to rub themselves through their jeans. Richie reached into his pants and began to fuddle with his hard cock as Virgil did the same. Both boys were lost in lust as Ivan worked around his greenhouse.

I couldn't very well have had the two of them in my green house. My mutated pitcher pant hadn't even finished dissolving the body of Doug in her large cuplike leaf and then there was the body of Ramiro, hanging from the wall with hallow vines and sticking out his body. The vines were connected to tubes that were feeding Bang-baby juice, steroids and simple plant DNA. It was trying to make him into a creature of pure plant genes, a humanoid plant creature which would give him all the power of plants yet make him obedient to me like all plant life.

Over the past few days my greenhouse had become a jungle laboratory, my plants all growing in shocking and unfathomable sizes and colors. They reached out to me as I walked around collecting the small potted flowers I was going to show the boys. The shimmering voice of my plants and the whispers of the green filled me like water.

"Hush babies. I have company and I really like them so you will have to behave." I said to my darling plants. They obeyed and settled themselves calmly.

"And you, darling. I will take care of latter." As I was walking out I saw the shadow of Doug's arms in my pitcher plant was gone.

"Good girl."

With quick realization of what they were doing both boys snatched their hands out of their pants and stared at one another.

"Ok what the fuck did we just do?" Said Virgil.

"What is wrong with us?" Said Richie.

"It's like we're on drugs."

"Or being drugged." Said Virgil staring at the tea in his cup.

"But why would Ivan drug us. He's our friend and we've never done anything to him."

Richie had a point. There was also the fact they he had been having this feeling since the moment he set eyes on Ivan's new appearance.

"Maybe you should go get backpack out the house to run some analysis."

Richie was about to do just that when a thought crossed his mind.

"You just want me to go off after backpack so you can have Ivan all to yourself." he said sitting back, folding his arms and staring at Virgil.

Virgil realized that had been exactly what had crossed him mind. He wanted Ivan to himself and Richie gone.

"That has nothing to do with it. I just want to know what is happening to us. "

"Then you go get backpack." Said the blond

"You know I can't do that. It won't even move for anyone but you. It functions on your brainwaves not mine."

"See I knew it. If you didn't want Ivan you would have told me to call backpack and have he run a spy analysis on the area."

Vigils threw up his hands in frustration. His intentions were shot down and they both knew it.

"Then just do that you paranoid freak." He said slumping back and folding his arms. Just as Ivan walked up with three different pots in his arms.

I set my babies on the table and watched the boys marvel at them.

Three different types of orchid hybrids. I had spliced their DNA of butterflies. This caused the petals to grow outward like butterfly wings and in the same dazzling colors. They even fluttered but I had asked then not to do so as not to scare Virgil and Richie.

"Their pretty." Said Richie running his finger over one of the petals.

"Like butterflies."

"I call them fairy wings. I have been working on plants that can imitate animals the same why some animals can imitate plants."

"You're a genius." Said Virgil

I couldn't help but exhale at his closeness. The air carried my breath around the head of my friends like a dust. Suddenly both Richie and Virgil were sweating again, panting like hot dogs.

Ómg. Are you two ok. Your look like you have fevers?" I asked cupping both their faces in my hands. They were warm, but not quite hot.

Suddenly there was a ringing noise from Richie's wrist. He looked at his watch which was flashing red. It stopped after Richie pressed a button on the side.

"Maybe we should go." He said grasping my hand in his as I pressed it to his cheek.

"Yeah. We don't want to make you sick too if we have something." Said Virgil taking my other hand off his cheek and pressing my knuckles to his lips.

Richie looked at him then kissed my cheek. When he pulled away he had a very smudge look on his face to which Virgil only snatched him by the hood and pulled him towards the door.

"See you at school tomorrow." He called.

The garden furniture shifted back into the four large shrubs it had been before Richie and Virgil arrived. They lifted me up higher and higher till I could just see over the roof of the house so I could watch Virgil and Richie leave. I was going to turn away and go back to my greenhouse when I noticed something odd. The duo had stopped just outside my gate and Richie was apparently talking to his backpack. Then I noticed something else, it was no longer fabric but silver chrome and very high tech in appearance. How odd.

I shrugged my shoulders and the plants lowered me back down to the garden.

What had been wrong with Virgil and Richie. It seemed like they were high -and if I knew boys as well as I thought I did- in heat. Had it been me. Could the plant pheromones in my body be affecting them. I would have to do some more tests on myself. I walked back inside to see the TV buzzing with some alert news article.

"Edwin Alva founder of Alva industries has just been once again linked to the destruction of rainforest and many other types of woodland. Their have been numerous accounts over the past few years that have tied Alva industries to mutable crimes against nature but Mr. Alva himself has always dodged the bullet, till today when a disgruntled employee brought forth indisputable evidence linking Alva to all the previous crimes once charged to his illustrious industry."

I didn't need to hear anymore. I knew deep down that Edwin Alva had been responsible but I hadn't wanted to believe it. Then my mind jumped to something that I had pushed to the very back of my mind. That cold winter night almost seven years ago. The doctor had said it was a disease brought on by an infection. There had been a reason no one could pinpoint the exact cause. But one doctor had told my mother this. I had been crying so hard I could hardly here him. It was an infection brought on my some kind of pesticide poisoning. Daddy had been making a new pesticide for Alva industries.

" Edwin Alva" I hissed, my hair falling over my face, curling like serpents. I had a new plan in mind. Edwin had dared to mess with people lives through the effects of the big bang, then he dared anger Mother Nature. Well I was going to show him.

I am the long arm of the green, the herald of mother nature, her power, her will, hell if I had double D's and a cunt I would be mother nature. And it was time I took my rightful place as king. I would create a garden paradise for Metahuman, and mutants , destroying as many humans as necessary to see my dream come true. And the first would be Edwin Alva. I would avenge my father and take his dreams for a greener world beyond his wildest dreams.

There was another article on the news now showing the Metahuman gang know has the breed, particularly HotStreak and Ebon as well as that adorable psycho Shiv.

"But thanks to efforts of Static and Gear the robbery was stopped cold."

Well every king needed servants and the breed boys would make perfect peons. As for static and gear, well didn't the lady of Wicca belief not have lord and consort. They would both be mine, bees to my flower. After all I had wild oaks to sow and fields that needed tending.

Suddenly there was a crash in my greenhouse and a loud roar. Apparently Ramiro had awoken from his mutating sleep. I was sure his brain was nothing but vines and algae now. His veins must be bulging with green plant protein. Hmm now that name fit perfectly.

"Coming Vein darling. We've got work to do." I said sweeping out of the house to get a good look at my new creation before school tomorrow. In the mean time I had to figure just what had been driving Virgil and Richie crazy.

I kicked over the body of the mail carrier who had brought me my flowers. When he say me he instantly began to flirt but I had given him no response till be showed me my flower. I had lost myself in joy and jumped on him pressing my lips to his and digging my nails into his arms. The effects had been instant. His body had gone into a shock then he began to choke up green foam. The place where I had dug my nails into his skin burned and began to rot. Within moment they were no more then sludge and bone and the mail carrier was dead.

Well least I knew my hypothesis had been correct. The transformation caused the toxins and poisons of the animal and plant DNA to combine for a rather unique affect. It filled my very breath with chemical pheromones, and my hair with intoxicating pollen. The two in combination caused the body to heat up to the same degree as sexual arousal. That explained why Virgil and Richie had acting so odd. What then happened to this poor fella on the floor. Well along all that animal and plant DNA came two amazing side effects my lips were filled with venom, my nails were so toxic the slightest scratch caused the body part in question to melt away like concrete beneath acid. I was poison. At first this idea frightened me to death. I would never be able to kiss my mother goodnight, never be able to hold her. I would never babble to touch a living soul again at least without gloves. The sadness lasted for only a while as the voice of the green began to fill my mind.

"Do not fret." It whispered.

" This is the price to pay for such power and freedom. You are like the rose and all must grow to know your thorns. You are meant for so much more then the life of a mere mammal."

The green was right. I was more then I had been and this was the price to pay for it. I whipped my eyes to find that my tears were no more then golden sap. This only spurred me on. I had a world to recreate and I could not be week. Though I hoped that the two I hoped would rule with me would fallow. The would be lonely at the top and now that I had a taste of what friendship could be I couldn't bring myself to even consider loosing it.

"It had to be all the flowers." Said Gear as he scanned over the data BackPack was feeding into the HQ computer. It read that there had been an enormous amount of pheromone pollen in the air. It been messing with their body temp and acting with the same effect of two pounds of weed. They were high, hot and horny so to put it.

" But there is something that is freaking me out." Continued Gear as Static read the data over his shoulder.

" When I asked BackPack for the report on what was effecting us, it scanned only two none plant life forms. Me and you."

"Do you think it made a mistake." Said Static crossing his arms and staring at the blond. Gear took off his helmet and visor and cracked his neck.

"No, this is Backpack we're talking about. This thing is still running on purified Brainiac tech just like me. There is no way it made a mistake." Said the tech wizard.

"The only thing I can think of is that either Ivan spends so much time around plants that he is simply covered in plant pollen and spores and BackPack didn't register or Ivan is a living breathing plant."

Static raised his eyebrows and gave his partner in crime an "are you serious" look.

"Yeah that makes since." He said.

" Well it could happen. Didn't Batman have an enemy like that. Uh poison ivy I think." Said Gear as he checked the clock on the computer.

"Then we will just have asked Batman after school." Said Static doing the same. The boys flew out of HQ and landed in the bushes in the back of the high school. Static and Gear changed and Virgil and Richie walked out.

Almost immediately the boys were bombarded by the girls.

"Did you two go check on Ivan. Is he ok?" said Frieda grabbing Richie by his arm and shaking him.

"Yeah, Ramiro and Doug have gone missing and Rex is acting more jackassish then usually." Said Daisy staring Virgil down.

Before either boy could answer the door to the hall opened letting the midmorning light from outside. A figure stood in the light , a mere shadow then the door closed and a dazzling beauty stood coyly looking down the hall.

I could swear to you I heard hearts stop and jaws hit the floor but how could I blame them. I defiantly wasn't the nerd in the coke-bottle glasses and geek gear anymore.

I wore a tight green vest over a black and neon green tank top that hung snugly off my shoulders. My legs were covered by a pitch black pair of skinny jeans with a gold ivy embroidered sash tied around my waist. Black ankle high dress boots clothed my feet wit golden tipped toes. A single tiny braid hung over my shoulder, intertwined with green and gold ribbon. All together I was quite a sight. I walked down the hall bathing in the silence of awe and shock that had filled the hallway. I spotted Virgil, Richie, Daisy and Frieda staring at me from the far end of the hall and I smiled making my way over to them.

"Hey guys are you feeling better." I asked after kissing both boys on the cheek. I had to be careful if I even grazed their lips with mine they would die.

" Uh hello. Who are you and what have you done with Ivan.
Said Frieda pushing Virgil aside to get in my face.

"I'm dead serious Ivan, what happened to you."

Ivan only smiled and shook his head.

"I decided to recreate myself. Start from the root and work myself up till I bloomed so to say."

"Bloomed is an understatement." Said Daisy looking him up and down

Virgil and Richie hadn't moved a muscle since Ivan kissed their cheeks. They just stood there sharing a rather stupid look. The girls of course paid no attention. The bell rang and though no one wanted to miss a move the gorgeous redhead made they were all rushed off to their classes.

"Go ahead I'll be along in a bit." I told my friends not bothering to wait for them to respond. I glided down the hall pass my soon to be servants. How trivial high school gossip seemed. But I suppose Dakota union high was as beast a place to start a kingdom as any. First I would rule the school, then the city , then the world. My mother always said I would accomplish great things.

I made my way to the football field were Vein was waiting for me.

He was stand right in front of a large bush and if I had not known he was there I would never have noticed. The chameleon and vine snake DNA made for an almost invisible camouflage. All and all he was a wonderful creature. A human body as green as forest leaves and ripped with vines that bulged under the blotchy green and brown skin that seemed to constantly keep shifting. He was huge about six foot three with a face that only a mother could love. I tried my best to remove the mask of death that had been all too evident on Ramiro but in the end I simply decided to reconstruct the entire thing. I hadn't done badly but his nose was no more then two slits in his face and his eyes were black and lidless like bug eyes. I had spared no expense in him and tried to make him as much man as he was plant. Lets just say when it came to what made a man a man, I knew a few porn stars would very envious of Vein

"Did you find out where they are holding the breed?" I asked

Vein nodded and handed me a crumpled up piece of paper.

"The Metahuman containment facility" why wasn't I surprised. I pressed my body to Veins and run my hand up his rippling form. He groaned in guttural way.

" I will meet you at the end of the day, try not to be noticed till then. Matter of fact, rob s store for something more conventional to wear." I whispered kissing his chest. I felt his hand grasp my wait tightly, his fingers unwinding and growing out into vines that wrapped around my body. He was a plant but still a man and I knew what he wanted. I felt his green sex grow against me and could chuckle to myself.

"Not that you don't look wonderful naked as Adam in Eden." I whispered grinding against him.

This would be what I intend to do to all who opposed me. A whole army of vine and algae people for me to rule.

"No more today. I have class." I said firmly and like a flash he released me and turned to go.

"And be sure to do as I say and be waiting for when the final bell rings." I said before turning away and walking back into the school.
