"SUPER CHICKEN (alias Henry Cabot Henhouse the III) AND HIS SIDEKICK FRED THE LION HAVE RECENTLY GONE BACK TO THE LAB OF THEIR MYSTERIOUS CREATOR, DR. CHICAGO, IN THE HOPES OF UNCOVERING THE SECRETS OF THEIR EXISTENCE…"
"Ah, the laboratory of Doc Chicago.." SC gave a wistful sigh. "I remember it like it was yesterday…"
"How could you remember if you were thtill in your egg?" Fred replied, looking around, rather frightened. "I remember thith plathe, though I'd rather forget it!"
"Cheer up, Fred!" SC patted him on the back. "There's nothin' to be scared over…"
"AND SO, THE HEROIC CHICKEN AND HIS GOOFY SIDEKICK EXPLORED THE LAB. BUT WHAT THEY DID NOT KNOW, WAS THAT THEIR PRESENCE HAD BEEN DETECTED BY AN OLD SECURITY CAMERA, ACTIVATING THE "welcome" PRESENT DR. CHICAGO HAD SET UP FOR THE INTRUDERS, EXCEPT IT WASN'T REALLY A PRESENT AT ALL! IT WAS A HUGE, CHAMBER-LIKE PIECE OF MACHINERY…."
"INITIALIZING GENETIC MATERIAL COMBINATION…" the machine programmed voice spoke, its robotic arms inserting two liquid tubes into its lower chamber. "ADDING XX CHROMOSOME…..INCREASING AGING PROCESS TO ADULT."
"IMMEDIATELY AN EGG STARTED TO GROW FROM WITHIN THE MACHINE, AS IT WHIRRED AND GLOWED WITH A STRANGE BLUE LIGHT. NOW THE CHICKEN FETUS WITHIN COULD BE SEEN, THEN HATCHED, THEN DEVELOPED INTO THE SILHOUETTE OF A PERFECT ADULT CHICKEN. ALMOST AS IMMEDIATELY AS IT HAD FORMED, IT BROKE OUT, KICKING A HOLE IN THE GLASS DOOR."
--
"AS SUPER CHICKEN AND FRED CONTINUED TO SEARCH THE AREA, THEY FOUND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT COULD REVEAL HIS PAST."
"Nothing's in here that can reveal my past, Fred!" SC exclaimed, knocking over a Bunsen burner.
"I dunno." Fred replied, looking around as well. "Wha' bout her? She lookth helpful…"
"Who?" SC asked, turning to face the strangest thing he'd seen in this lab. Since this was a mad scientist's lab, this was quite the understatement.
"IT WAS A CHICKEN. A FEMALE CHICKEN THAT HAD WHITE FEATHERS LIKE HENRY…EXCEPT, DESPITE HER CURVIER BODY TYPE, HER FACE LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HENRY!"
"Who're…you?" Henry asked, gulping.
"I, am subject 67." The female chicken spoke. "Henry, you might not believe me when I tell you, but I, am your sister."
"AS EXPECTED, HENRY DID NOT BELIEVE A WORD OF IT."
"Pssh, GET REAL, lady!" SC replied. "I don't have a sister, I wasn't hatched yesterday!"
"But I was. Technically I was hatched only a few hours ago but you get the point." Subject 67 replied. "Chicago programmed a machine to create an instant clone of you to prevent you from discovering his secrets, and that is what I intend on doing…"
"But…you're a girl."
"I'm sorry?" 67 replied.
"How can you be my clone if you're a girl?" SC replied.
"I was made from your genetic material, plus another X-chromosome." 67 spoke, clearing her throat. "Obviously. It's simple genetics."
"Look I don't have time for your life's story." SC spoke. "I have to get—"
"THE FEMALE CHICKEN IMMEDIATELY BLOCKED HENRY'S PATH."
"I have to get—"
"67 BLOCKED SC'S PATH YET AGAIN, THIS TIME, SHE JUDO-FLIPPED HIM TO THE GROUND."
"I have to get Chicago's secret files!" SC exclaimed, exasperated. "Boy, talk about your cock-blocker.."
"SC TRIED ONE MORE TIME TO ESCAPE HIS STRANGE CAPTOR, BUT THIS TIME AS SHE LUNGED AT HIM WITH ALL THE FORCE OF A FOOTBALL PLAYER, HE DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY, AND SHE LANDED WITHIN A STRANGE VAT OF WHITE, EXPERIMENTAL GOOP."
"HAH!" SC smiled. "Well that takes care of that."
"SUPER CHICKEN AND FRED THEN WENT TO EXAMINE THE VARIOUS SECRET FILES OF DR. CHICAGO. AFTER AROUND AN HOUR OF SEARCHING, THEY'D FINALLY COME ACROSS A STRANGE ROLL OF FILM DATED TO 1959."
"Fred, check it out!" Super Chicken spoke. "I think this is what we're looking for!"
"Thtart th' movie!" Fred yanked out a projection reel. "Wait, what th--"
"67 HAD RE-APPEARED IN FRONT OF SUPER CHICKEN AND FRED. SHE LOOKED THE SAME...EXCEPT NOW HER BODY APPEARED TO FLOW LIKE LIQUID...A VERY OPAGUE, WHITE, SLIME-LIKE LIQUID."
"67, what—what happened to you?" SC asked, very nervous now.
"You foolish fowl, you've knocked me into Chicago's experimental shapeshifter egg yolk serum!" 67 replied. "Now because I ingested some I too can shape-shift."
"67, that actually doesn't sound half ba—"
"Forget that number!" The chicken clone hollered, sending a gloppy white arm directly onto Henry, pinning him to the wall. "My new name shall be EGGWHITE."
"SOMETHING ABOUT BEING DIPPED IN EXPERIMENTAL FLUID MADE HENRY'S CLONE SISTER ACT A LITTLE STRANGE..."
"Say you know, you're pretty cute…" Eggwhite gazed at SC lustily. She tried to grab him, but SC immediately got away.
"Lady, I'm NOT that kinda hero!" SC replied. "Besides you're my sister, you said it yourself!"
"Well, alright, I suppose you don't prefer the fairer sex…" Eggwhite sighed, then smiled with malicious intent. "How bout THIS!"
"EGGWHITE IMMEDIATELY CONTORTED HER FACE TO RESEMBLE FRED, THEN STOOD IN VARIOUS POSES, ATTEMPTING TO MOCK THE HERO…"
"I gotcha thuper thauth!" She exclaimed in Fred's voice. "Ooh lookit me I'm the dumb lion thidekick! ROGER WILCOXTH! I LOVE YOU MITHER HENHOUTH!"
"Woah, HEY!" Superchicken started to blush greatly. "No need to share that—"
"I can be sexier." Eggwhite spoke, then instantly ripped off Fred's sweater and turned into a considerably buffer version of Fred…this variant had a bigger chest and thighs, nine abs, chest and armpit hair, massive biceps and deltoids, more prominent areolas…and was wearing a tiger speedo.. "OH MITHER HENHOOOOOUUTHE!" Eggwhite as Fred posed multiple times, enjoying looking like a lion Adonis.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" SC replied, exasperated and embarrassed. "I just wanna know who I am, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!"
"EGGWHITE AND SC STARED AT EACH OTHER. SHE CEASED HER LUSTY BEHAVIOR, AND PROCEEDED TO HELP SC TURN ON THE PROJECTION REEL AND START THE VIDEO."
"Very well, then." She replied. "If you wish to learn the truth behind your existence, you certainly shall."

1967….
"—should we run another experiment on him, doctor?" The small scientist asked.
"YES!" Doctor Chicago replied. "And get me another Bloody Mary…alcohol is the only thing that's kept me going these days…"
The scientist rushed away and came back with a…strangely glowing Bloody Mary.
"Uh, sir, is it supposed to glow like that?" The other scientist asked.
"Ohhh, is it s'posed to bleh bleh bleh—" Chicago mocked the other scientist then took the Bloody Mary. "IM' A BIOLOGIST, NOT A MIXOLOGIST DAMN IT!"
But a bit of said Bloody Mary fell from the glass and landed on the small chicken egg next to it. The egg suddenly glowed and started bouncing around, presumably the fetal chicken had become aware of this.
"WOAH!" The scientist exclaimed as the egg nearly rammed into his head. "S-sir, what's going on?"
"My GOSH!" Chicago exclaimed. "You didn't happen to place that Bloody Mary in the gamma radiation tank, did you?"
"I thought it was a cooler." The scientist replied. "Why?"
"It appears that by combining the Bloody Mary with the gamma radiation, that egg has temporarily developed a boost of strength!" Chicago explained. "It's some kind of super-sauce now! But the strange thing is…that sauce when ingested or absorbed is more of a placebo, because that fetal chicken isn't exactly a normal chicken."
"Well no Duh, cause you're gonna give it human-level sentience and intelligence!" The scientist replied.
"No…When I found that egg….I ran some tests and as it turns out, when that chicken grows, that chicken will have a power greater than anyone could ever imagine—" Chicago spoke, wide-eyed before the transmission ended.
—————————-
"SC WAS STUNNED BY THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAD ENDED."
"So, you have learned the truth at last." Eggwhite replied. "Don't you have anything to say?"
"I…" He gulped, removing his mask, surprised. "I…HAD ACTUAL POWERS THIS ENTIRE TIME?! AND NO ONE EVEN TOLD ME?!"
"Yes." Eggwhite spoke. "And those powers are quite dangerous in the wrong hands. The more you utilize the super sauce, the more you will rely on it, continuing to suck on the metaphorical teat, if you will. I can show you how to control these powers. I can show you how to use them to be a true hero…"
"SUPER CHICKEN LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHAT EGGWHITE SAID, ABOUT THE SUPERSAUCE BEING A MERE PLACEBO, AND HOW SHE TRIED TO PREVENT HIM FROM LEARNING THE SECRETS OF HIS FATHER….."
"I'll think about it." SC replied.
End.
