Chapter 3: Something Sneaky
"He's been in there for six hours already, Dr. Ray. Isn't it time we let him take a break?" Cindy said, watching through the heavy glass as Fred was tested time after time.
"The tenth test takes up to ten hours, Dr. Andrews. Fred is fine. He got hit by a meteor & lived." Phill said. The machine finally shut off giving them a clear green light, meaning the tests were finished.
Phill took a deep breath. "I hope you haven't killed our super man." Cindy smirked. Phill rolled his eyes.
"Stay here." he demanded, walking into the test room of his lab.
"I'm coming with you Dr. Ray. He's my patient too." she said, peeping her head in the door way. Phill sighed & nodded his head. "Is he okay?" she asked.
"Seems to be under a light state of slumber. Fredrick can you hear me?" Phill asked. Scanning the young mans body, his shirt ripped, strips of the remaining pieces all over the floor.
"He's going to need some bigger shirts for all that muscul.." Cindy pointed out.
"Why don't you go buy him a few?" Phill asked rudely. Cindy frowned & turned to Fred's right side & scanned him for information. "All I'm saying is try to do your job while we're here. "
"I was pointing out an important fact, Mr. Ray." she said.
"Right..."
"Do you really think that he'll have some sort of.."super power"?" Cindy asked.
"We're about to find out." Phill said happily as Fred moved, waking up.
"Thank heavens your alright Mr. Jones!" Cindy shouted, hugging the extra muscular blond.
"How are you feeling?" Phill asked.
"Like I've been struck with lighting.." Fred mumbled.
"Can you walk?"
"He could bare stand just six hours ago & you expect him to walk?" Cindy said firmly.
"He's a much different man then he was going into the tests, Dr. Andrews."
"A different man? How different?" Fred asked.
"Take a look at yourself from here?" Ray said pulling a large mirror in front of him. Fred's face was blank, he went speechless looking at himself. His musculs were double what they once here, his height was just a few inches taller too.
"Wow.." he gasped, trying to find words to describe himself. "What does this mean? What happened to me?"
"You see, Mr. Jones when you were hit by the "meteor", it gave you a great amount of power that rarely humans ever get. Highly rare in fact. The only way to get such power is from far out in space where not even humans could go. For some reason this meteor chose to land right on top of you, giving you all it's power. To be sure that the power stayed there I ran you these tests. Welcome to your new body Mr. Jones!" Phill said proudly.
"This is going to give me attention.." Fred muttered under his breath.
"Come come..stand up there is something else I need to show you before you leave." Phill said. Fred stood up, with no loss of balance for any sort of pain. He looked at himself one more time.
"You'll get used to it Mr. Jones." Cindy said, sticking behind with Fred.
"Oh I'll have no problem with that.." He said smiling, admiring his muscular body. The two met up with Dr. Ray in the next room.
"What's all this for?" Fred asked, scanning the large room filled with challenges.
"Fredrick this is where we find out your super power." Phill said.
"You mean I'm like a...Super Man?" Fred asked.
"Very much like Super Man, Mr. Jones."
"This is incredible!" Fred said, watching random video clips of super heros that he use to watch as a child.
"You don't seem too completely shocked Mr. Jones..why?" Cindy asked. There was an awkaward silence between the three.
"Mr. Jones?"
"I'm sorry...it's just hard for me to explain. I know..a man with super powers."
"What?" both doctors asked in shock.
"He isn't the good guy. He's a bad person, I've been tracking him down for the longest time. And that's probably why you found me in the desssert. He & I are enimies. He kidnapps people, destroys cities, & has a boat load of evil plans in store."
"Where did you meet this man?" Cindy asked.
"A long time ago I use to do some mystery solving. Since I was young, I was private. I wore a mask to hide my identity. Since he was a criminal, he was wearing a mask himself. We'd battle each other night after night. I never could win. I discovered something so different about him. He had some sort of powers. I wasn't sure how he got them, & to be honest, I'm still not sure how he got them. " he explained, with a confused & upset face. Cindy went on to the blond, taking his hand & looking up into his deep charming blue eyes.
"I understand Mr. Jones." she said with a hint of her british accent. "Mr. Jones where is your family? I don't recall you ever mentioning them." The question brought a mix of emotions of Fred's face. He slipped Cindy's hand out of his.
"I..I don't have any family, Dr. Andrews...I never knew them." he said chocking on his words. Cindy frowned, feeling for him. "I grew up on my own, in an orphanage for several years, until I escaped one day. But I don't like to talk about it much.." he finished with a sigh, looking down at the floor. Cindy lifted his chin to her face.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jones." she said.
"I'm sorry to break the moment up but, we do have one more test for Mr. Jones." Phill said smiling, trying to forget the short moments before & change the subject. Fred nodded.
"If this works I'll be able to beat the Black Commander in no problem!" he said, slapping is fist into his hand.
"The Black Commander?" Cindy questioned.
"He's the man I know with powers, that I was telling you about." he explained.
"Oh I see."
"Let's get you geared up for fighting & find your power."
After going into the exam fighting room the two got Fred ready for his test.
"I hope I can do this."
"I'm sure you can Mr. Jones. You were born for this." Phill said to Fred's surprise. Those words cheered his heart & gave him more feeling of power.
"Thanks Dr. Ray." Fred said with a bright smile on his face. The two doctors left the room, watching Fred through the heavy duty glass.
"Ready?" Cindy asked through the mic. Fred gave a thumbs up with a smile.
"It's go time." Phill said, clicking the button to bring out the first beast to tackle.
"Let's do this!" he said to himself. All at once flying disks came out of the heavy metal wall, flying into Fred. Fred kicked two with his foot, swinging his right arm out to punch another down, see one coming towards his knees, he leaped into the air.
"Dr. Ray! He's flying! He's really flying!" Cindy shouted happily in shock.
"Indeed he is! We've got ourselves a true hero!"
"Good job, Fred! We've found one of your powers. Let's see if you've got another!" Cindy said. Fred tried to land himself on his feet but failed, falling on himself.
"Ouch." he said, though it he didn't feel a thing.
Cindy giggled. "Keep trying, Mr. Jones." she said.
"We're now testing your strength, so be ready." Fred wasn't quick enough for the next task, a giant metal box fell out of the sky, weighing over a ton. Fred was crushed under it's fall.
"Mr. Jones!" Cindy gasped, her mouth wide open.
"Just wait, Dr. Andrews..." Phill begged, as the two stared for a glimps of movement. Luckily Fred managed to lift the box off his body. Barely throwing it to the other side of the room. Spechless the two doctors stood on the feet, cheering for the new hero.
"Well done Mr. Jones! Now let's get you out there." Phill said, opening the door. Fred stood in shock, shaking in his hands.
"Now we just need a clever hero name for you." Cindy said happily, walking to Fred's side.
"A hero name?"
"Well you said so yourself, you want to help others with your incredible talent." she said, leading him into the hallway.
"Yes but-"
"Since you've always been so secret of yourself & your identity we should come up with some sneaky." Cindy said, opening a door to one of the rooms at the end of the hall.
"I still never want anyone to know I exist though." Fred said as Cindy took a seat in her computer chair.
"You sir are no human being.." she laughed, typing away on her pc.
"So I've been told.." he sighed.
"Shadow Knight!" Cindy shouted.
"Shadow Knight...I like it.." he said. "but why?"
"It's not too bold. Silent but hero-ish enough to get you by."
"I'm game!" Fred said smiling.
"Now one more thing. I've contacted a brillant scientist, Dr. Dinkley. Whose preparing a special uniform fit to your taste!" Cindy said, opening her door to welcome the doctor.
"Hello, doctor." Cindy said, shaking hands with the shorter woman with glasses. Fred was surprised to see she was another woman. He almost dreaded the flirting he expected to come.
"Hello Dr. Andrews. Is this the hero we needed to customize?" she asked, looking up to the much taller person in front of her. Fred smiled & shock his head.
"Yes, Dr. this is Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones this is Dr. Velma Dinkley." Cindy said.
"I look foward to working with you Mr. Jones." Velma said, shaking his large hand. Firm with no smile Fred grinned.
"And me as well, Dr. Dinkley.."
