Jesseca departed her cab as it stopped outside of Crey Technologies in the heart of Galaxy City. As she entered the large building she felt very tiny in comparison to the cold steel behemoth. Jesseca made her way to the front counter and smiled at the woman behind the counter.
“May I help you?” the woman asked with a smile.
“I have this coupon.” Jesseca said as she held up the ticket that Ernesto had given her.
“Head to the elevator and go to the thirtieth floor.” the woman said as she pointed down the hallway behind her.
Jesseca’s bare feet slapped softly on the cold linoleum as she walked to the elevator. Standing in the metallic box as it climbed upward she blushed as she saw her reflection, clad in a disposable diaper and a t-shirt, she suddenly felt very silly looking in this highly professional environment. She hurriedly departed the elevator when it reached her floor and made her way to the front desk of the R&D department.
“Hello and welcome, how may I assist you today?” the young man behind the counter asked.
Jesseca again presented her ticket and was led back to a laboratory by the young man. “Dr. Ashford?” the young man addressed a tall gray haired scientist as they entered the lab.
“Yes? Ah, another new hero I presume.” Dr. Ashford said when he saw Jesseca.
“Yes sir, I was given this ticket by…” Jesseca started to explain but was cut short.
“Yes, I know all about it, now what can we set you up with?” the man asked rather curtly.
Jesseca felt nervous, she hadn’t thought about what she was going to get yet. “Umm, well I’ve always wanted to fly, I guess.” she said, tripping over her words clumsily.
“Right then, please step into this chamber here, and we’ll have you aloft in a jiffy.” Dr. Ashford said as he pointed out a large chamber on the other side of the room.
Jesseca padded over to the machine and stepped inside, as the door closed she felt nervous upon hearing the machine begin to hum loudly. Suddenly a blinding light filled the chamber and washed over her, she felt a tingle all through her body and somehow felt lighter.
As soon as the light and noise had started it was over, and the door to the chamber slid open and Jesseca stepped out slowly, her eyes struggling to focus after the barrage they’d just endured.
“All done, thank you for stopping by.” Dr. Ashford said as he ushered Jesseca back out of the lab.
“But how do I fly?” she asked the doctor.
“Part of the process is that your mind is hardwired to allow you to use your power by thinking about it, just think of flying and you’re off.” he said as the door shut behind Jesseca.
“What a jerk.” she thought as she left the building. “Just think about flying.” she scoffed and then noticed that she was now hovering a few feet off the ground.
“YAHOO!!!” was the excited shout that was heard by citizens on the street below as Diapered Dandy flew overhead in a blur.
“First time I take it.” came a woman’s voice from above her.
Jesseca stopped and looked up, she saw a beautiful green haired woman hovering above her. “That noticeable, huh?” she asked with a blush.
“I think the “YAHOO!!!” might have tipped me off.” the woman said with a smile.
“Sorry, I just got excited.” Jesseca explained with another hot blush.
“No need for apologies cutie.” the woman said giving Jesseca’s nose a playful tweak with her fingers. “My name’s Hannah, Half-Life Hannah to be exact.” the woman said with a smile.
“Jesseca, umm Diapered Dandy.” Jesseca replied with a smile and another blush.
“Nice to meet you Jess, you wanna grab a cup of coffee with me?” Hannah asked.
“Sure!” Jesseca said with a smile and the pair flew off together, all the while Jesseca feeling a profound sense of déjà vu ever since she’d come into contact with Half-Life Hannah.
