1.20 Aftermath Part 1

“Leo!” calls Joan as she saunters down the underground corridor.

She knows exactly where her boyfriend is as he works on designing his heavy combat suit. After his fight with Superior, Leo wants to come up with a suit of power armour that will let him fight and hold his own in the big leagues.

“Yes Joan?” replies Leo as he doesn’t look up from his computer.

Joan crosses her arms over her chest and under her breasts as she stops next to Leo’s chair.

It has been over a whole day since I manifested and Leo still hasn’t let me alter him.

You can just change your sexual orientation so you are attracted to boys again.

That won’t change the fact Leo doesn’t find me sexy. I know he loves me and all, but I also want him to lust after me as well.

“So you know how we got school tomorrow?” says Joan.

“Yes,” replies Leo, still not looking up.

“Well, I got a plan for dealing with that and keeping up a normal life in general,” continues Joan.

I can’t wait to see what he thinks of this.

“So what is your plan then?” inquires Leo.

“I am going to create second body with weaker abilities to live a normal life for me,” replies Joan, “To be a more conventional girlfriend, go to school and other normal things since I am now a super powerful being who can’t exactly go around doing those sort of things without undue attention.”

“So compartmentalisation then?” replies Leo, “Using a secondary body for the purpose of living a relatively mundane life.”

“Exactly,” agrees Joan with a happy purr in her voice, “And now we brainstorm.”

“What do you mean?” inquires Leo, sounding intrigued at the idea of brainstorming ideas.

“Well, since this second body will the body that I am going to primarily use as your girlfriend, we ought to decide on what it should be like together,” answers Joan, “So let’s the basics sorted first. So female and straight of course. I’m thinking that I’ll keep my second body as an Aphrodite, but not as over the top beautiful as I am right now and with plenty of leanings towards Bellator.”

“A Class Bellator that looks like an Aphrodite?” suggests Leo, “Like Bel?”

“Good idea,” agrees Joan, “Next we’ll go into external features. DD Cups and hourglass figure along with red hair and green eyes like my Mum is what I’m thinking of.”

“It’s your body,” replies Leo, “I recommend picking a form that you’ll be comfortable with.”

“But not too comfortable with,” says Joan, “As you know, I no longer need to eat, sleep, breathe, drink or poo. As cool as all of those are, I would like my secondary body to still do those things.”

“This body will be for leaving a normal life,” notes Leo.

“Exactly,” agrees Joan, “I’m also thinking of giving my secondary body some lower level superpowers.”

“What sort of powers and to what ends?” inquires Leo as he finally looks up at her and Joan hums with pleasure as he does.

About time.

“Well, I was thinking Gadgeteering to fit in with a certain someone,” answers Joan with a wink at Leo as she flashes him a quick smile.

“Sounds interesting,” replies Leo looking thoughtful as his eyes light up with excitement, “What speciality are you thinking or are you going to leave it generalised?”

“I’m thinking of doing modules or something like that,” says Joan, “That way I can be more versatile and I think it will be interesting to have a power like that.”

“Speaking of powers,” says Leo, “I thought your abilities didn’t extend to powers?”

“This is different,” replies Joan, “One thing that I have figured out is that when I create a duplicate of myself or someone else, I can give them a fake pseudo-power set. That said, I can’t change their powers any more than I can with anyone else once they are created. Which is why I want to brainstorm things first.”

“Alright,” says Leo, “So A+ Bellator and Gadgeteering with Module specialisation. Anything else?”

“I thinking of Technopathy since it works so well for Legacy,” replies Joan, “Plus, well, it just seems like such a cool ability to have!”

“Useful too,” agrees Leo, “So what levels?”

“Let me tell you what other two powers I want first,” says Joan as she decides to get closer to her boyfriend.

Slowing down time to a crawl while not quite freezing it, Joan casually climbs onto Leo’s lap and leans against him, curling slightly so despite being slightly taller, her head rests against his shoulder. In the position that she wants to be in, Joan unfreezes time.

Joan, with her super-duper senses, notices Leo look surprise briefly by her sudden relocation, but swiftly recovers and does the gentleman thing of putting an arm around her, holding her steady. She giggles and just lies there for a moment, enjoying being held by the person she loves.

“Joan?” prods Leo.

“Oh right,” says Joan, “I thinking out rounding out that power set with an enhanced physical prowess and learning capabilities and a perfect memory.”

“Sounds good,” replies Leo, “Nice versatile power set with nothing too fancy. So what power levels then?”

“I thinking of Technopathy as B+ while Gadgeteering at C Class,” answers Joan, “The others will be minor powers at D Class. I’m also thinking of adding a couple of special features to the power set.”

“Oh?” inquires Leo.

“First I’ll make it so my powers can grow with usage up to the point where they are B+ Class,” continues Joan, “Secondly I’ll make it impossible to nullify my powers. Short of an Infinity class nullification power of course.”

“Sounds good,” replies Leo, “So are you going to make your secondary body now?”

“Of course,” replies Joan as she smirks up at him.

She slows down time and again and opens up Leo’s sexual orientation, where it is set to Asexual. Joan giggles internally as she changes it to Heterosexual to pause at the response.
