About an hour later, they were all at Reed's place, which was on the top of the Baxter Building. The place was huge, but cluttered with papers and diagrams. The more they looked around, the more that you could see he was a hard-core scientist.
"I need to figure out exactly what's happening to us, so I can be sure our bodies aren't in danger. I will perform one test a day on each person," said Reed as he flipped through a scheduler. "And It looks like tomorrow is going to be Chandler!"
"Me?" babbled Chandler. "Why me first?"
"I dunno, because that's the way I scheduled it?" said Reed, looking confused. He headed over to his desk to start working and the others just scattered, checking their temporary home.
"I hate being first in things like this," mumbled Chandler to Monica.
"Well, you'll be the first to get it over with," said Monica as she looked at him.
"I know, but you know how much I hate doctor check-ups and stuff like that," he said.
"Yeah, but he's not a doctor," said Monica, giving him a quirky smile.
"Technically I am," called Reed from over at his desk. "I have a PhD."
Monica rolled her eyes as her and Chandler headed over to their guest room to unpack their things.
First place Joey headed was the kitchen. He opened the fridge door and grabbed a couple pre-made sandwiches. When he sat down to eat, Johnny came wandering in and also grabbed some food. He plopped down across from Joey and gave him a smile.
"So, what are your powers?" asked Johnny as he opened a soda.
"Well," said Joey through mid-sandwich, "I can transform."
"Really? Into anything?" asked Johnny, eyes widening.
"Well, I don't really know yet..."
"Dude, could you turn into a girl and like, go into the girl's locker room!" questioned Johnny, a grin appearing.
"Hey, that's a great idea!" smiled Joey, revealing the insides of his mouth.
"Yeah, wanna see what I can do?" said Johnny as he snapped his fingers. Instantly, his thumb caught on fire.
"Woah!" said Joey in surprise as he watched the thumb burn. "That's so awesome! Can you do it, like, all over?"
"Yep. I can go full flame. It's pretty cool, but you don't wanna get near me when I do,"
The two laughed and started to become friends.
The next day, the testing began as scheduled. Chandler's heart was pumping two times the normal speed as he eyed Reed reviewing his checklist.
"Okay Mr. Bing, so you have some sort of electricity power?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, let's see it!" gestured Reed.
Chandler held his index finger up as a ball of electricity formed on the end.
"Fascinating!" said Reed as he started jotting stuff down.
"And what else can you do with this?" asked Reed, looking up from his paper.
"Well, I can hover," said Chandler.
"Ok, can I see that too?"
Chandler got up and took a few steps back. He clenched his fists as a few sparks flew off his body. Then shots of electricity cracked out and formed an energy field around him. He slowly glided upwards, forcefield still around him.
Reed gaped up in amazement as watched him hover there. Chandler floated back down as Reed wrote "Seems to be able to generate enough voltage to repel the Earth's gravitational pull."
"Ok," said Reed as he put the pen back onto the clipboard. "I just have to do one more test and we're done. Follow me."
They headed down a hall to a room marked 'blank room'. Reed opened the door to reveal a plain, white room, nothing else in it. No windows, nothing accept an air vent.
"In here, I want you to generate as much voltage as physically possible. This room was build to sustain high amounts of pressure and it is pretty durable. I have a hidden sensor that will measure your output," said Reed. "I will be in a separate room, watching through a one-way wall."
Chandler stood there in that white empty room, felling pretty creeped out. He just didn't like the idea of being in a blank room with no one else. He was comforted by Reed's voice that came through a hidden intercom. "Ok Chandler, start anytime."
Once again, he clasped his fists and began to power up. The monitor read '10 kilowatts, 15 kilowatts, 20 kilowatts,'.
Reed watched as more and more jolts of electricity formed around him. His hair was sticking straight up and so were all other hairs on his body. '4,000 kilowatts, 7,000 kilowatts, 10,000 kilowatts,'.
Reed was surprised that Chandler could produce such great amount of energy. Now, the whole room was filled with sparks. The screen blinked red as it went '20,000 kilowatts, 50,000 kilowatts, 70,000 kilowatts,'.
"Chandler! I need you to calm it down! The room can't take much more of this!" shouted Reed over the intercom. He saw the screen reach 1,000,00 kilowatts, which was equivalent to the amount of energy in a New York power plant all contained in a room.
"I CAN'T!" screamed Chandler, sounding like he was in excruciating pain. He had gone too far now.
