Krystina Jordan	Another day in the UNiversity of Metropolis, and Krysti is going to class...as per usual. She's just so happy to return to normal after that one problem she had a couple of months ago. She nearly crushed the city just by growing uncontrollably. Thankfully, only a handful of people remembered it. One person was the head cheerleader, who hated Krysti's guts, cuz in her flight, she crushed the girl's prize car. Totally an accident, but the Head Cheerleader still hated Krysti. The HC got a brand new car.....but.....
Mister Fantastic	Meanwhile, Dr. Reed Richards is on campus, out of costume for once, but still wearing his lab coat as he explores. He's gotten some odd reports of a giant woman here, but with no criminal activity attached. And it doesn't seem to be Giganta, necessarily. Perhaps a new metahuman? He's determined to find out. Though it's difficult to find someone when they look just like all the other co-eds on campus....
Krystina Jordan	And Reed is run into by the very girl he's looking for. Krysti stumbles backwards as she runs into him. "Uhm....excuse me." She says as she hugs her books to her chest a bit tighter. She usually kept to herself, and rarely watched television, especially the news. So, she didn't recognize Reed Richards....at all. After the bump, she walks away from the seeming professor and tries to get herself some lunch. Ironically, if Reed had been watching the news, she looks EXACTLY like the giantess that ran out of metropolis....only she's.....5'2".
Mister Fantastic	Reed hasn't had a whole lot to go off of, but the pictures he's been able to get are definitely the main way he's been trying to track the young woman down. Unfortunatly the university was reluctant to let him have a program scan through school ID pictures to find her. But then again....here she is.     It does take a moment, as Reed reflexively says. "Oh, pardon me..." And steps around her, starting to continue, then stops, turning around. "Wait! Miss..." He walks back towards her.
Krystina Jordan	By then, Krysti's already in a cafeteria and in the crowd to get her lunch. She doesn't take long before she's seated in a booth....eating, of all things,, PIZZA. Who'da thunk it.
Mister Fantastic	Reed gives pursuit, heading into the cafeteria...though he's slowed down by a vigilant cashier who asks him to pay for the buffet before he can enter. He steps in, looking around as he walks down the tables, searching, before he spots Krysti and makes a beeline over to her table."     "Excuse me, miss..." he says, politely.
Krystina Jordan	Krysti jumps and looks up. "Uhm.....yes?" She says with her mouth still full of Pizza. Yup, she's definitely the same girl......
Mister Fantastic	Reed smiles at her. "I've actually been looking for you..." he says simply, then realizes how that sounds. "Ah, not...for more nefarious reasons but, because..." He pauses, then sets down one of the photos of giant Krysti. "I think we have something to talk about." he finishes.
Krystina Jordan	Krysti backs up a little from Reed, then looks a little confused, until he sets down the pictures. "Oh god." She says putting her hand over her face. "I had....hoped I got out of the city fast enough before people took pictures." She winces a bit and blushes quite a bit. Since......it was her first 'mishap'.....she didn't exactly have.....clothes. "God this is embarassing."
Mister Fantastic	Reed smiles sympathetically. "I can understand if you're a bit embarrassed. But it's common to have, ah, uneven control over abilities at times." He offers a hand. "I'm Dr. Reed Richards, of the Fantastic Four. And if you'd permit, I'd like to talk to you about it, and perhaps help you out a bit with dealing with your abilities, since this seems to have been an accident rather than intentional."
Krystina Jordan	"A bit?" Krysti says in a bit of a hushed voice. "It's been a nightmare." She then sighs. "I'm sorry, but I've never heard of you. I mean, I've been spending a good deal of my academic life trying to keep my grades up, and suddenly.....I'm told to work on an experiment in a lab. My partner goes to the bathroom and *BOOM*, the experiment explodes. I'm allowed to retake it, and pass. But a few days later, that's when the changes start to take place. My hair was actually blonde for a day. Then I grow to seven feet tall and bang my head on a doorway. I go down stairs when the stair is a LOT farther away then before. Lots of other things happened too. A truck with no brakes hits me and....the driver's surprised that I'm not only alive, but the truck's engine block is crushed. That was just the first time that it was 'out of control'."
Mister Fantastic	Reed nods, then motions to a corner table away from most of the hustle and bustle of the crowd. "Let's sit down...tell me about this experiment, what kind of work were you doing at the time?" he says curiously, pulling out a chair for her chivalriously before taking a seat himself. "So it's not just size, but physical changes as well then? And it's unconscious at times?"     Reed is mentally taking notes, though he doesn't want to spook the poor girl when she's already obviously been through a lot of stress.
Krystina Jordan	Krysti tells Reed of the experiment, going down into details at the molecular level. Apparently, her major, for now, is Chemistry, and she had to run to the bathroom during the experiment, and it was a half an hour later the explosion happened, right after one of her lab partners had to go himself. She had a third lab partner, another guy, that had to go when krysti did, and.....he was still in the bathroom when the explosion went off. Something seems strange in this story. "yes, the change is unconcious at times. Much of the time I'm able to reverse it by simply willing to shrink back to normal, or grow. That was just the first time I couldn't stop." She then takes a deep breath, thankful that they're away from the larger crowd. "The worst part, Dr Richards? The better it felt. I was getting goosebumps as I was getting bigger. It was a major endorphin rush to get bigger, and if it wasn't for Neville with the antidote.....I think I'd be in space now. The antidote I developed though.......knocks out this ability only for a day. It's not permanent..."
Mister Fantastic	Reed listens, a serious expression on her face, though he frowns at the mention of the endorphin effect. "That's worrisome, yes. You haven't found your upper limit then...and it's entirely possible it would be dangerous for you to go past a certain height." He leans back in his chair, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Hmmm...it's possible we could come up with something based on the experiment that might help you control the reaction more.
Krystina Jordan	"Perhaps external, cuz, based on the endorphin effect, I can't trust myself to stop it based on will." Krysti then sighs. "You're.....of the Fantastic Four......I might have heard of you, but I rarely watch the news. You're sure you can help me though? Also....is it possible that I can get some clothes for when I'm that big.....or small? When I shrink, I do get a pair of wings that lets me fly....and I have electrical 'stingers'."
Mister Fantastic	Dr. Richards actually looks amused at that, a twinkle in her eye. "We do get on the TV occasionally..." he responds, a bit charmed that she doesn't seem to really know much about it. "Well...an unstable uniform, that I could do. Something you want to wear under your regular clothes?" He looks curious. "You have wings and a stinger too? That's unusual, it doesn't seem to fit your growth ability. But it does.." He trails off, looking thoughful. "...have you ever met a young woman named Janet Van Dyne?"
Krystina Jordan	Krystina Jordan says, "I have not. Like I said, studies and all that." She then ponders. "I could use a uniform like that. That way I don't have to worry about tearing my clothes." She then rubs her face. "I'm going to be honest, I'm glad you're willing to help me out.""
Mister Fantastic	Reed coughs. "Ah, yes, that was at least one of the reasons my wife pointed out why I should find you quickly before you had another episode." he admits. "Well, the easiest way to do this would be for you to visit Four Freedoms Plaza. I can use my lab there to get a good scan of your current genetic makeup, and maybe get an idea of what might help with the transformations. And it's a quick way to fit you for a uniform." he adds dryly. "I'd imagine you might want to play around a bit with design ideas on the fabricator."     He stands up. "If you're free, I could take you there now, or I could back back later after you're done with classes?"
Krystina Jordan	"That....would be a good reason to get out of classes today. I don't have any tests, and I can get my classmate to take notes for me. he's excellent at taking notes." she then sighs. "Well....if you can wait until I'm done with my pizza, we can go then." She then chuckles. "Pizza, as well as Sodas, help relax me." And her choice of food doesn't seem to affect her physique.
Mister Fantastic	Reed smiles. "I can certainly wait for you to have your lunch, yes." he says cheerfully, settling back in his chair. "Just pizza, or carbs in general?" he wonders. "There's a suprising amount of sugar in most pizza in addition to the carbs, I'm not suprised it's a good comfort food for you."
Krystina Jordan	"More...comfort food, but I had to use it as a diet food one time. but while I like burgers, fries and all that, pizza is just......pizza. Sodas are like water to me, though. Just.....mmmm. it's hard to flavor water right." She says as she finishes the pizza and her soda.....and belches. "all right. I don't count carbs though. The funny part is, I was kinda....portly when I started this semester. After the accident...." She gestures to herself.
Mister Fantastic	Reed nods thoughfully. "It's not unusual for physical or psionic powers to affect your metabolism...that's part of why so many young metahumans are so physically fit. It seems to help the body process energy more efficiently, and I'm sure the transformation is eating up some of your body's reserves as well." He shrugs. "Not a bad thing to be able to enjoy whatever food you like, then again?"
Krystina Jordan	Krysti nods. "I'm Krystina Jordan, by the way. Just call me Krysti." She then sighs. "Do you have facilities for containing someone gigantic, or finding someone really tiny?"
Mister Fantastic	Reed nods, offering his hands. "Pleased to meet you, Miss Jordan. And yes, as a matter of fact I do have faciltiies for that. Depending how small you are getting? AFter a certain point it does help to have speciality equipment when you get really small....
Krystina Jordan	"all right. Lead the way, Dr. Richards. I just hope I don't have an episode while there." Krysti says. "Oh....lets swing by the lab to get my antidotes. That way, if I have an episode, you can use that, until you come up with something."
Mister Fantastic	Dr. Richards nods and gets to his feet. "Don't worry. Considering the things that often happen at the Plaza, we've got very reinforced walls and means of helping with most situations..." he says with a smile. "The antidotes sound like a good plan to start, if nothing else I can replicate them to help out if you need more." He'll follow her to her dorm then, and if nothing untoward happens during the trip, he'll take her for a ride in the Fantasticar to head back to the Plaza.
Krystina Jordan	Thankfully, nothing bad happens to Krysti, and they arrive in Four Freedoms Plaza easily enough. Of course, with 'Mister Fantastic' with her, she gets access to the upper floors. Once Reed gets her connected tot he scanners, it's......bad and good. Not only is the substnce bonded to her nervous system, it's also attached itself to her adrenaline producer in her mind. The short of it is, she CAN get extremely big, and she can also get extremely small. She can will it to be done on either way, as well as get extremely dense, extremely strong, and even change the pigment of her skin, her eye color, her shape, the color of her hair and more. the main things that seem to be out of control is the growth and the shrinking. While sitting in the scanner, she had one small episode herself. her breasts began to get bigger. Once she noticed, she was able to shrink them back down.....
Mister Fantastic	She's been placed in a fairly large scanner, just in case her abilities should trigger due to the scans. Reed, however, was sufficiently distracted that that turned in to him absently pointing. "Please take off your clothes and get in the scanner." It likely took a modest protest by Krysti to pull him out of thinking about the scans. "Mmm...? Oh! Ah, yes."     He walks over to a closet and rummages, pulling out what looks like a one piece leotard. It's a bit big on Krysti, perhaps, as it's sized for Sue. "There's a changing area behind that curtain there. This is a basic unstable molecule uniform, just in case you need to change, and so you can show me what you can do."     He'll slightly impatiently wait for her to change, then start the process.     After looking over the scans, he considers. "...hmm. Well this is definitely a very complex concoction, to have this sort of effect. Density control, physical appearance transformation as well as size...that will be handy if you wish to maintain a civilian identity...and the wings." He rubs his chin. "...I...ah, don't know why that particular last incident was focused on your chest area...were you thinking about that part of your body at the time, maybe absently? It could have been a subconscious thing as well..." he admits.
Krystina Jordan	Krysti looks at the Leotard and tilts her head. "This is a bit.....big, isn't it?" She says softly before she goes to change, and....she comes out.....sure enough, it's way too big. She's practically swimming in it.
Mister Fantastic	Reed ahs. "...well, that might explain why, if you were feeling subconsciously uncomfortable with it not fitting well..." he says diplomatically. Sue IS a bit more busty than Krysti, after all. "Don't worry, it's strictly temporary. I have your body dimensions now so we can get one that's much more form fitting." He motions to a nearby screen with a trackball next to it. "Why don't you take a look through some of the standard designs, perhaps you can find one you'd like? Color isn't a problem, the material can be bonded to practically any spectrum of light."
Krystina Jordan	Krysti looks over and tilts her head. "and it'll expand and shrink with me. What if I have to go to the bathroom?"
Mister Fantastic	Reed blinkblinsk at that question, then smiles faintly. You'd be suprised how many heroes don't ask that! "There are hidden seams you can undo with pressure in the right spots to peel it off as needed, in whole or in part. Or, ah....I guess depending on the design, you may be able to...pull it aside temporarily or such." he adds.
Krystina Jordan	Krystina Jordan takes a breath. "all right. I guess I can not be so sheepish. Still the problem is a little....embarassing." She then pops her neck.
Mister Fantastic	Reed smiles and reaches up to pat her on the back. "Don't focus on it. Really, you can make your costume however you'd like, within reason, so if you find it a bit too revealing or embarrassing, you're welcome to go with a different design that suits you better." He hesitates. "...althought it will be...snug. The material does tend to lie very close to the skin."
Krystina Jordan	"All right." Krysti then actually comes up with a leotard that's fairly close to the Fantastic Four uniform, but without the insignia on it. it's also high on the legs, and frees the shoulders. She seems to be pretty conservative in her normal uniform. But then she picks a second one with a cleavage window. "It's breatheable, right?"
Mister Fantastic	"So my wife told me when she chose it." Reed says dryly. He was not really going to argue the point, either. "You're happy with those colors? If you change your mind, you're welcome to come back and I can adjust it too. Otherwise, I'll start fabricating it now."
Krystina Jordan	"well....while you're fabricating that one, can....I make a second one? I mean.....I've....never really had a bikini and.....now an off the rack one is impossible...." Krysti says softly.
Mister Fantastic	Reed hmms. "Sure, that's not a problem. You'll need to decide on how brief you want it to be. And I will note that there maybe more of a chance for, ah, slippage, even if it matches your size. It's not exactly the same level of support..." he says sheepishly.
Krystina Jordan	"Thank you for the warning, but a bikini has a chance of slipping, no matter how big you are." Krysti says as she makes a rather decent bikini, but it seems to take into account how big she gets. And it's pink.
Mister Fantastic	Well, Reed's not going to begrudge her a bit of girlishness in this case. It's not like it takes THAT much extra fabric to make one, really. He starts the fabricator up, and soon Krysti is the proud owner of a pair of uniforms! Reed then says. "I've been looking over the antidote formula you brought with. I can definitely synthesize it. There may be a way to infuse it in something less medical, for that matter, that doesn't require a needle."
Krystina Jordan	"It's fast acting, so the needle is required. I'm just looking for a bit of control, so I don't have to worry about sitting in class and suddenly not being able to see my paper." krysti says with a laugh, but then thinks. "Bubblegum would work for growing, but...shrinking. Mist?"
Mister Fantastic	Reed folds his arms thoughfully. "I could put a limited device in a belt buckle or something of the uniform that would let you trigger it in an emergency, but it would be a one shot reaction, I'd need to recharge it after that." As he knows how Dr. Pym feels about his tech getting out into the general public's hands; but a one shot device shouldn't bother him, especially if it doesn't generate pym particles on its own. "Gum would be simple enough to do, yes. I could do that. Depending on your abilities though, it may take a bit for them to counteract shrinking or growing...a lot of it will be your own willpower and control to let it happen faster.
Krystina Jordan	"All right. I'm just trying to think of options. Belt buckle would be great." Krysti says softly. "Just know that I wouldn't 'counciously' try to wreck the city. Hence the needle. And before you ask.....it was useful even when bullets couldn't penetrate me, so I think part of it is contact, and the other is actually getting into the bloodstream. Really disorienting, I'll tell you, to go from 250 feet tall, to 5'2" in a matter of minutes."
Mister Fantastic	Reed rests his hand on her shoulder. "I know Krysti, I'm not going to assume you would cause damage on purpose." He walks over to tug out a small belt from the closet he got the first uniform out of. "This is all to help you, and to limit the...pardon the pun...growing pains you're experiencing." He holds up a finger. "But ultimately, you're going to need to learn to control your abilities without these crutches, eventually. Training and practice will take you far there, and eventually these will just be emergency backups for you instead of something you want to depend on."
Krystina Jordan	"Thank you, Dr. Richards. I do appreciate the help you're giving me. If I end up NOT using this though, I'll give it back." Krysti says just before she gives him a hug. "thank you again." She says with a smile. "If you ever need me.....I'll do my best to be there." She then ponders something. "Do you mind if I come here regularly to 'test' my powers out? So it's in a 'safe' environ, and you can observe me to come up with better way to improve my powers?" She says heading into the next room to try on the one leotard with the boob window.
Mister Fantastic	"My pleasure, I try to help out new metahumans like yourself when I can. It's a lot to take in, I know from when it first happened to me." Dr. Richards says, patting Krysti's back at the hug. "And I don't mind at all. You may even be able to spar with the rest of the team here. Ben could certainly show you a few things about being strong and dense, if nothing else." He walks over to start shutting down the scanner and puts away the temp uniform, then feeds the antidote into one of the other machines, making some selections. By the time Krysti return, he has a small metal container of purple sticks of gum to go with the belt.
Krystina Jordan	Krysti walks on out, red faced and everything. It's definitely snug on her pretty slight body. She looks at the belt and tilts her head. "Will that shrink and grow with me too?"
Mister Fantastic	Reed politely tries not to notice the poor girl's embarrassment. "Yes, it'll actually merge with the uniform, and have most of the same properties, just it'll have the failsafe device in the buckle no matter the size." He hands it and the gum over. "That should help."
Krystina Jordan	Krysti nods and puts the belt on, then puts the gum in the slots. "All righty. Let's do a bit of a test run, Dr. Richards." She says as she closes her eyes and.....she actually shrinks in size to about 10 inches tall....and she does start to fly with a set of gossamer wings. "I've got some control over this...."
Mister Fantastic	Now that he's seen it, he's REALLY curious. "...it's...interesting. I'm really curious why that particular form mirrors that of someone I know. She also has size changing abilities and the wings and stingers....perhaps there's some sort of connection...hmm."
Krystina Jordan	"I have no real idea. Perhaps we can find it in time, Doctor Richards." Krysti then grows back to her normal self. "Still. We'll have to test it, under your supervision, and perhaps your teammate can also help me learn to defend myself." She then smiles. "But, I hope you don't mind me coming by so you can help me learn how my powers work."
Mister Fantastic	"Hmm, I could compare your DNA to a scan of hers, perhaps, see where the simularities are. She might be able to help you work with your abilities too, perhaps, if she's able." He smiles faintly. "Well, don't consider yourself just a science project for me, but yes...I would like to figure out a bit more of why you are as you are."
Krystina Jordan	"Same here. Perhaps she can help me as well. But I'd like to figure out what I can do as well." Krysti says softly. "Lets continue with the tests though." And they continue with the tests, and Reed gets a lot of good readings. but it's clear she doesn't completely want her powers to be 'fixed'.
