Radioactive

After accidental exposure to nuclear materials, Wesley’s body began changing. It started with rapid weight loss and losing a significant amount of body hair. As doctors and scientists examined him and treated him for any radiation exposure, they noticed his body continuing to change. There was a strange swelling of his chest and his genitals were clearly shrinking. Within a few hours, they realized Wesley had become a woman by all observable metrics.It was like nothing they had ever seen before, and the condition was made even stranger by the fact that there seemed to be nothing else wrong. It was as if Wesley hadn’t been exposed to radioactive materials at all.

Within a few hours, Wesley was back up on his feet and walking around as if nothing was wrong -- nothing except his new gender, that is. The doctors wanted to examine him further, but he asked for a few minutes of fresh air first. Stepping outside, he felt a rush of something he had never felt before. It wasn’t just an adjustment due to his new gender, however. It was more than that -- it was like a power inside that he could feel manifesting. He focused it on his hand, and it began to glow. It felt like he could shoot fire from his fingertips. But instead of testing that theory, he calmed himself, knowing the scientists inside were already prodding him based on what they could see. If he manifested superpowers, they’d never let him leave! So he calmed the power, his hand stopped glowing, and he returned inside.
