Chapter 10

Bolt was led to another room. Inside was the same machine that had given him the powers.

Jeffries gestured for him to go inside. He hesitated, then padded inside.

"One question before I do this. Why do you not want powers?" Jeffries asked. Behind him Webster rolled his eyes.

"Because I want to go back to the dream life I was living. The life I had before you people screwed it up." Webster began activating the machine.

"And one more thing." Bolt said.

"What?"

"Once the powers are gone I don't want to have to ever see you again." Bolt declared.

Jeffries nodded. "Fair enough."

The machine started up. Lightning bolts began encircling the canine. The machines took scans of his anatomy.

Then Bolt had one of the most uncomfortable sensations ever. It was as if his insides were being sucked out. Then it was over.

"Do you feel different."

"A bit." Bolt said. However to the two Sector X men, all that came out was a bark.

Jeffries smiled. "He's back to normal."

Webster looked less than satisfied. "Why did we waste energy doing this?"
