Scientists all over the world have sought how to enhance human body. Exposure to deadly chemicals and nuclear fusion Gamma Ray did nothing except shorten the life of the test subject.

One group of scientists sought the answers to their questions using the blood work of Veterans from the arm forces. In a hidden lab near Washington DC VA Medical Center, thousands of blood samples were looked at daily. This group were specialist in the field of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They were looking for changes in the two DNA strands, the BCMA, (Bar Code Medication Administration) on each vial test tube of blood would show the service, person's age, sex, name, region.

In the pretense of flu vaccination, Veterans were injected with bacteria-sized nanobots, which were to make changes to the DAX1, or as these scientists were calling it, the X Gene. Veterans were then to return for weekly checks such as blood pressure checks, along with blood work done every four weeks. When changes were noticed field agents were directed to police up these folks quietly. So far the teams doing just that have had no problems till that one day.

Two black SUVs were moving down the street of a mid size mid west city, their subject lived in a small neighborhood, with a dead end, one way in one way out. The four occupants were all in black suits and dark glasses, one was speaking to his cuff.

Head Agent, "Subject is male, age 63, retired Army, Combat arms. His wife of 40 years is 61, they have one child still living at home, male, age 25. I'll approach the front door, Agent 4 will be my back up, Agent two you are to take down the son, Agent three, the wife. Once that is done we will load the subject first and time permitting the wife and son. Everyone copy"?
Agent Two, "Copy".
Agent Three, "Copy".
Agent Four, "Copy".
Head Agent, "OK coming up on location. Copy"?
Agent Two, "Copy".
Agent Three, "Copy".
Agent Four, "Copy".
Head Agent, "Go".

He saw the SUVs pull up and the four occupants getting out, one wore a long black, light weight, jacket. Both SUVs had Government tags. His wife and son were outside still, he had just enter the house to get a cold drink so was turning to greet the closes individual at the front door. Opening the door he asks? "Can I help you"?
Head Agent, moving closer, "Yes Sir you can. Do I have the pleasure of addressing Nick Farley, CSM retired U.S. Army"?
"Nick, "Yes Sir you do and you are"?
Head Agent, still moving closer "Someone that was told to pick you up".
His wife yells, "Nick what up? Who are they"?
Nick, "I'm not sure Betty, something about picking me up"?
Nicks son, "Dad everything OK"?
Nick being distracted by his son Ted, does not see the first Agent open his long black jacket and pull up a very large caliber rifle and aim point blank at him.
Ted, "DAD!! Watch out"!
Just then the agent assign to Ted, pull a revolver and fires hitting him in the chest with a dart, he falls. The first Agent has the rifle up and fires, something huge hits him in the chest, the agent assign to the wife also fires, she falls, Nick sees all this as he starts to fall as well, then there is a golden glow and suddenly he is standing over his son, a check of his pulse, he is alive, his hand glows slightly over him, then bending over his wife, she to is alive, again his hand glow slightly. Carrying her inside passed the Agents he returns for his son, the Agents all seem to be moving very slow as he flies by. Picking up his son he repeat his journey back to the house. He has no clue how he is able to move so fast, moving back outside he stops and faces the four Agents once more.
Nick, "I have no idea what you did to me but I am making a citizen arrest for the attack on me, my wife and my son, drop your weapons and get down on your knees, cross your legs when you do that"
Head Agent, "OK boys put him down". All four pull semi-automatic pistol, as they fire at him his reaction is to duck, throw his arms up cover his face, the glow around him intensity, looking around he sees the bullets floating in the air in front of him, then they drop like lead weights. The Agents fire once more, again his glow increases, the bullets stop, then drop, the Agents begin to back up, still firing, the Head Agent breaks first and tries to get to the closes SUV.

Nick seeing that they are trying to escape moves forward at lighting speed and chops, his old martial arts training just springs to life as he disarms, knocking out each and every Agent. Looking inside the SUV he fines some nylon prisoner ties. Using two per agent he hog ties them using their belts between the legs and hands and then go to check on his wife and son. He can hear sirens coming down the road, then everything starts to spin and then black, he has pass out.

When the first officer enter the house he fines an older women and a young man bent over a very beautiful young lady wearing mens clothes. When asked by the officer what happen they both start talking at the same time, seeing they are in a state of shock he ask that the young man remain with his wife and the older lady sit over on the couch. He is then told by the young man, that not my wife, thats my Father!

Just then his pardner steps in, "Jim these goons out here all have FBI IDs. Yet the neighbors
all swear they were the ones doing all the shooting".
Jim, "Keep them where they are at, be sure no one talks to them till we get someone out here with a lot higher pay grand to handle this mess".
Pardner, "Wilco".

Long hours later Nicks eyes open, from the decor he can tell its a hospital room. Looking around he sees his wife sitting next to him, she is holding someone smaller hand.
Ted, "Mom she is awake"!
She? Looking around he sees Ted looking at him. "She?" The look on his son face causes him to take another quick look around the room, then at himself. "Oh my God"! Feels long hair, sees brown color, sees two humps on his chest. "Oh my GOD"!
He starts to glow. "Nicky! Calm down, everything is OK sweetie"!
He looks at her, "Betty what happen, my voice, my body"?
Betty, "Clam down Nicky and I tell you everything I know to this point".
Nick, "OK". Taking deep breathes and slowly exhaling. "I'm calm, now tell me what the hell happen"!
She explains to him, all that happen after he had pass out. The four men that attacked them were not FBI as their IDs said. So all four were arrested, the SUVs were government vehicles but had been reported stolen. They were still waiting on the doctors as no one had a clue what, how or why all this had happen. Fingerprints had confirmed that he was Nick Farley, but no one could explain why or how the gender change, or the young age. All examinations confirmed he was female, age approximately 21-25 years, 5'10" 120pounds. His hair was a light brown, and his eyes were now deep blue. And he was a Mutant".
Nick, "Mutant"?
Ted, "Ya Dad, like those X men on TV".
Betty, "Everyone that saw you in action today reports a yellow golden glow all around you, and when you moved all they could see was a golden streak of light moving".
Ted, "Ya Bill across the street said it was like watching "The Flash on TV".
Just then a nurse steps in, "Turn on the TV, there a news report of the attack on".
Ted quickly moves and turns on the TV, the News is on.

"Sam Becket, ZNN News here, if you just joining us let me repeat our top story today with something that is right out of the Science Fiction but what you are going to see is real, cell phone video of Men in Black, attacking U. S. Citizens".

The video shows the SUVs pulling up in front of his house, the four men in black getting out, the attack, a golden streak moving, Nick standing before the men, them shooting at him, the men moving from him, more golden streak movement and all four are tied up on the front lawn.

"So far all attempts to find out what happen are being blocked by the authorities, what we can tell you is the attackers all had fake FBI Identities". And that the older man here facing these four gunmen is Nick Farley, retired U.S.Army, who is now listed in guarded condition at St Mary's Hospital".

Outside in the hall, suits were moving towards the room where Nick was, two police officers outside check the IDs of of the men, all were from Homeland Security. One of the men enter the room, Nick recognized him right away.
Nick, "General Savage"!
Savage, "Its Director Savage now, HLS, and we need to talk Nick".
Nick, "What you have to say to me you can say in front of my wife and son. Now spill the beans, what the hell is going on and how did they do this"?
Savage, "In a nut shell, someone is trying to make super men, those four today had been with the CIA, a dark cell that went rogue and now are gone".
Nick, "Gone! What the hell"?
Savage, "The transport that was hauling them to custody was attacked, both guards shot and killed. The CIA Director has no idea who they really are as their IDs were wiped from the system. We are placing you and your family in protective custody till we can round up these folks and fine out what the hell is going on and why this happen to you"!
Nick, "Protective custody? More like hide the mutant? They did something to me and I want to know what the hell it was"?
Suddenly a voice of the doorway, "And I believe I know what that is Nick".
Tall, grey hair gent in a white lab coat and clip board. "Doctor Sinclair, I think I found something in your blood work that could very well explain what happened, as to why, I will leave that to the Homeland Security".
Nick, "Yes Doctor"?
Dr Sinclair, "There are tiny dead machines in your blood, here a picture I had blowed up, these little things are bacteria-sized nanobots. As for what they did, they rewrote your DNA and made a change to your x y chromosome, making it x x chromosome to activate your X Gene. Now why did you change, most likely from the adrenaline released during the attack, it triggered the nanobots".
Nick, "Can I be turn back to a man"?
Dr Sinclair, "I don't think so. Whoever did this, did it over a period of months and I see from your medical records that you been at your local clinic for weekly checks as well as blood work, mostly likely sometime during one of these checks you were injected with these nanobots. Its possible that someone at the clinic knows something or is involved".
Savage, "Doctor, the name of the clinic".
Dr Sinclair, "UAMS, over on Buckeye and Cross".
Savage, "Jones"!
Jones, "Sir"!
Savage, "Send a team to this clinic ASAP, detain everyone there and start a check of all the records there, also pull all the phone records on all incoming, out going, calls there, all cell phones of any employee there are to be check as well. Understood"?
Jones, "Yes Sir"!
Dr Sinclair, "Director, I have an idea about this Protective custody you wish to place this family in, I have a very private clinic upper state that well off the beaten path, fenced, 24 hrs surveillance, guards at the gate. There are also several private bungalows where more of my richer clients stay when detoxing. I also have top notch equipment there, even better then they have here at the hospital. And of course Homeland can also post additional security to protect all while we try to chase this little mystery down of gender switch, super powers.

Director Savage, "I like you Dr. Sinclair. Let get this private clinic a security check by my people, if they say its good then we will move everyone there day after tomorrow".

Dr Sinclair, "No worries, I do a lot of work for the DOD, NSA, FBI, and me and all of my staff has been screened by them and can be trusted to keep this a closely guarded secret from everyone".

Nick, "So what do we do in the mean time"?

Savage, "Well the Mrs and your son continue as if all is well, not a word to anyone concerning you of course, and bring a one bag day after tomorrow, as we will be departing from here for places unseen by the world News people".

Nick, "And me"?

Dr Sinclair, "Well I could use another pint of your blood".

Nick, 'groans'. "I feel like a pin cushion".

Golden Girl Part 2.

Scientists all over the world have sought how to enhance human body. Exposure to deadly chemicals and nuclear fusion Gamma Ray did nothing except shorten the life of the test subject.

Days had passed, Nick, his wife, and son were all together at Dr Sinclair's clinic, for Betty and Ted this had to be very boring, with nothing to do except watch TV, Ted had asked and received permission to use the weight room, his words, "To work off some steam". Betty kept busy with her knitting, where as I was the hamster in the cage. Compare to the escape from the hospital this was even worse. Still wearing a dress for the first time had been a scarey situation.

72hrs ago;
Nick, Standing there in a dress and low heels. "This is crazy, it will not work"!
Savage, "Yes it will, you simply walk out arm in arm with the good Doctor as his date".
Nick, "What about the press"?
Savage, "They'll be to busy trying to get pictures of your wife, son and me leaving in the three convoys we will have leaving here".
Nick, Pulling the hem of the dress down, "At least couldn't I have wore pants? And I'm still not used to these dam heels".
Betty, "The heels are only two inches, and the dress works for you far better then wearing pants, they will be to busy staring at your legs then the rest of you, and you will be arm in arm with the good Doctor, he will make sure you don't fall on your butt. Now stand still so I can finish the rest of your makeup".

The hospital had held a press conference to announce that Nick Farley was being moved to a VA hospital for further surgery that needed to be done, which VA hospital they refused to say.

The plan worked, it was crazy, but it worked. Three ambulances with police escorts left the hospital, there was a show of faces as the wife left with one, the son with another and Director Savage with the third. While all of this was going on Nick and the Doctor walked out the front door to the Doctor's car, got in and drove off and no one except a few younger gents noticed, but they were to busy watching the little lady butt as she walked arm in arm out and left.

As for getting Betty and Ted where Nick was even easier, once at the VA hospital they simple took a helicopter ride from an air ambulance off the roof to another waiting helicopter for a ride to the clinic.

Since arriving at the clinic, she had been put through a battery of tests, x-rays, MRI, blood work and more test. She broke three weight lifting machines and four tread machines doing some of these tests. She had been clocked at speed well over 200 MPH with no shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat and before the last weigh machine gave out had lifted the machine max weight with little effort. They had brought in some very special equipment and machines to try and push her to her limit.

Nick, "Well Dr, what is this for"?
Dr Sinclair, "We are going to test your strength, as well as this shield you have".
Nick, "So how does this work"?
Dr Sinclair, "Well we place you in the center of this contraption, as you can see it is well padded in areas around it inside, these areas, under our control, will attempt to make contact with your body and we can control the amount of pressure of those areas".
Nick, "Looks like it was well build, whose idea was it for this"?
Dr Sinclair, "Mine, after the last weight lifting machine broke I knew we needed a far better way to determine just how strong you are and how strong is this shield of your".
Nick, "OK so when do we get started"?
Dr Sinclair, "Right after you put this on", handing her a three piece, skin tight, black outfit that looked as if it had some sort of sensors all over it.
Nick, "What the? Is this some sort of joke? I have to wear this"?
Dr Sinclair, "This suit has sensors on it and it is absolutely necessary that we get the best possible readings. You can change over there, a nurse will assist you".
Nick, "OK", moving to where he had pointed, the nurse joining him behind the screen and with a little help he had it on, stepping out he kept trying to cover his breasts, "Dam it Doctor, I feel like I'm naked wearing this, are you sure its absolutely necessary for me to wear something like this"?
Dr Sinclair, "No need to worry Nicky, I have already seen you naked and its only the nurse and I here, so you have little to worry about, so step in the machine and lets get to work".
Nick, "OK", She moves to the machine and steps in, turning to face them, the nurse reaches in and does a few hook ups of lines to the suit and steps back shutting the entrance in front of Nick.
Nurse, "All ready Doctor".
Dr Sinclair, "Good, Nicky can you hear me ok"?
Nick, "Yes 5x5 here doctor".
Dr Sinclair, "Good we will start overhead first, I am going to lower it and begin to apply pressure behind it, be sure to tell me when it begins to bother you in any way".
Nick, "Well do doctor".
Looking up, she sees the padded plate starting to lower on her, putting both hands up over her head she waits for contact, when it does not come, she looks up in surprise, its sitting about 10 inches above her hands, "Dr, did you stop it"? She starts to lower her arms and sees it start to lower once more, putting her hands back up it rises away from her, "Dr"?
Dr Sinclair, "It seems that when you are aware of something that will happen your body seeks to protect you, that plate had over 3000 PSI pushing down on it, yet you felt nothing"?
Nick, "Nothing".
Dr Sinclair, "OK, I'm not going to try and max this out just yet, I still wish to test further areas of this shield before you break the machine".
Nick, 'giggles', "OK Doctor".
Dr Sinclair, "I'm going to try and surprise you by moving plates from areas without telling you where and when, we will try to keep this as random as possible".
Nick, "OK Doctor".
After several minutes of almost nothing happening, from her perspective, she sees plates, that are in front of her, move but all are stopped almost as soon as they begin to move.
Nick, "Doctor"?
Dr Sinclair, "It is really incredible, the computer has been randomly trying to hit you but is being blocked, and it has been increasing the PSI on each attack, currently its just over 5000PSI, that over two and half tons trying to make contact with your body"!
Nick, "I don't feel a thing here Doctor".
Dr Sinclair, "OK time to break the machine".
Nick, "I hate breaking all your toys Doctor, 'giggles' but if you insist".
Dr Sinclair, "Oh I insist, coming from above Nick, we are going to see how much you can take or break this toy of ours".

Looking up she sees the plate begin to lower, once more stopping at about 10 inches she waits, watching it, slowly it begin to come lower, still she feel little to nothing, at 5 inches she can begin to feel a pressure, she puts her hands up and pushes back. At 4 inches the pressure is a little higher, at 3 she could feel it more and at 2 inches something broke and the all pressure from the machine stopped.

Dr Sinclair, "Incredible, simply incredible"!
The nurse open the front of the machine, disconnecting Nick from the leads, she smiles at Nicky, "Sounds as if the doctor is very happy with you".
Nick, "Well doctor, what did I do besides breaking this toy of yours"?
Dr Sinclair, "My God, girl, you did over 25 tons, thats is over 50,000 pounds of dead weight over you and you hardly worked a sweat up"!
Nick, "What! 25 tons?"!
Dr Sinclair, "We will have to rebuild the toy here, make it bigger and badder to really see what you can do"!
Nick, "How long before we can try again"?
Dr Sinclair, "A week at least".
Nick, "A week"?
Dr Sinclair, "No worries Nicky, I have more toys here to use on you, tomorrow we going to be checking out that fantastic speed of your, they promised me that the test track would be ready then".
Nick, "OK so what now"?
Dr Sinclair, "Today we are done, you can change out of the sensor suit and take the rest of the day off, I'll be going over this data we got so far and I promise to brief you later this evening. OK"?
Nick, "Sure thing Doc".
Changing back into her sweats she said her byes to both and went looking for her wife. She found her in their bungalow sitting with her knitting again. First leaning over her they quickly air kiss and then she sits down next to her with a little 'sigh' escaping from her.
Betty, Looking up, "So dear, how it go today"?
Nick, "I broke another one of the doctor's toys".
Betty, "Another!, Oh dear, just be glad you are not paying for this".
Nick, "So true", looking around, "So where Ted"?
Betty, "Some cute nurse has him all wrap around her finger, we may lose our boy to that one, giggles', she a keeper for sure".
Nick, "Well good for him, I was getting a bit concern after that last one he was chasing before".
Betty, "That one? Just was a gold digger, he was lucky he found that out early and not after bedding her, if she had got her hooks in him".
Nick, 'nods', "I'm glad he has something to do and someone to help with this present situation".
Betty, "Speaking of something to do"?
Nick, "Yes"?
Betty, "We need to get you some more clothes to wear young lady".
Nick, "What? More clothes, for what! I got all I need right now, I'm wearing the sports bras Mom, and the cotton undies, I am comfortable in these sweat and runner shoes, besides I still have the dress and heels from our "Great Escape" so I don't need any more clothes".
Betty, "Yes you do Nicky", 'dropping her knitting in her lap, her index finger points at her, "besides I am tired of seeing you in nothing but those ugly grey sweats".
Nick, "And what is wrong with my sweats"?
Betty, "It seems I have another rebellious young lady that needs to be taught that there is more to life and clothes then those things", point at her sweats, "Besides you smell after that workout, go take a shower dear".
Nick, "Yes dear", getting up she walks to their room, retrieves another sport bra and undies, along with another set of sweats turns and enter the one bath that is shared by both bedrooms, pulling off her top and pants she is standing there in her bra and panties when the other door opens and she hears, "Oops, Sorry Dad", the door quickly shuts and a whisper from the other side is heard, "Dam my Dad is a fox!" With a small smile on her face she locks the other door and turns on the water for her shower.
As she washes off the dirt and sweat from the test, she hears their door open, "Just me Dear, be right out, just getting something", then she hear the door close. Getting out of the shower she grabs one of the huge bath towels and drys off then turns to get dress and see that her choice to wear has been replaced. There for her is a matching white bra and panties, a blouse and a pair of shorts. The blouse is pink and the shorts are red, and match the flats that replaced her running shoes.
Nick, "Honey"?
Betty, "Yes Nicky"?
Nick, "Where are my clothes"?
Betty, "Right there young lady".
Nick, "I can't wear this"?
Betty, "Oh? Why not? Young women have been wearing outfits just like that for years".
Nick, "But I'm Not".
Betty, "Yes, you are a young woman!" Betty marches in, picks up the bra, hands it to her, "And by God you will dress like one or so help me Nicky"!
Nick, "OK, OK! I get the message loud and clear sweetheart".
Betty, "Good! As soon as you are dressed, we are going shopping at a base BX, the Director will have our escorts outside in 15 minutes, so you better hurry so I can do a little makeup on you as well before we leave".
Nick, "Shopping, Betty please do we have".
Betty, "Yes we do, I am sick and tired of seeing you in those sweats, we are going to buy you a proper wardrobe for a young lady of today and you will wear it. The only time I want to see you in sweats after this is when the doctors need to poke and prod your butt".
Nick, knowing she faced a losing battle, "Yes dear".

Fifteen minutes later a black SUV pulled up outside the bungalow. One of the suits gets out and walks to the door, knocks and steps back as the two ladies exits, another suit opens the passenger door of the SUV waiting till both are in and shut the door, speaks into his wrist mic, "Watchdog, this is Guardian, we have the package", gets in the SUV, and hears a reply over his ear piece, "Roger Guardian, proceed to McGuire, take the ladies to the BX, no side trips, understood"? Suit, "Copy Watchdog". Turns towards the back.
Suit, "Ladies, welcome aboard, our little trip will take about 20 minutes, my name is Mac, and this is Fred, 'pointing to the driver', and that is George and Wilma in the trailing vehicle".
Betty, "Thank you Mac, Nicky and I really need this little trip, poor girl has nothing except the clothes on her back".
Nick, "Betty! 'blushes' I'm sure Mac does not need to hear that".
Mac, "Its OK Nicky, you and your Mother can talk my ear off if you wish".

Sometime later they arrived at the bases main gate, by that time poor old Mac had his earful from Betty. The bases Security Force officers were flagging vehicles over that did not have military tags or military vehicle for ID checks. Both of their vehicles were waved through and they proceeded to the BX.

Mac, speaking into his wrist "OK, Wilma and I will stay with the ladies you two gents top off the vehicles and meet us outside when they are done with their shopping".
Fred and George, "Copy".
Wilma, "OK ladies lets go shopping".

Evening with Mac pushing for them to hurry, and Wilma doing all she could with helping Betty and Nick out they were just coming up on two hours when Betty said, "OK, I think we have everything".
Nick, Wearing a brand new outfit, "Thank God".
Mac, 'whisper', "Amen", then in the wrist again, "We are done here, meet outside in two minutes".
Faint, "copy".

Stepping out of the BX, all carrying bags and bags, Mac looks for the SUVs, sees one pulling up, as he reaches for the passenger door when suddenly its forced open from the inside throwing him off balance, he is then shot in the chest falling back. A second shot is fire, Wilma falls, another hit to the chest. A figure jumps out of the back, grabs and throws Betty inside the SUV, then reaches for Nick and is stopped, no matter how hard this man tries he cannot touch this woman, turning to the other he yells "GO!", jumping in the passenger door pulling it shut. The driver, looking back, hits the accelerator but is stopped cold, turning to the front he sees a woman standing there, he is burning rubber and they are not moving.

Shifting to reverse, he tries to back up, but again is stopped cold, looking back he sees the same woman, panic is starting to overwhelm any sense of logic, how is this possible! He shifts to drive once more, but again they are not moving, he knows the wheels are turning and the engine is at max, but they are not moving. Looking in the side mirror, he sees the wheel is off the ground, checking the rear mirror he cannot see the woman from before. He yells at his pardner, "Where is that bitch"?
The other man looking back, "My God, she is holding the rear end up off the ground"!
Driver, "Shoot her dam it"!
Other man, "Right", brings his gun up when Betty starts hitting him, "No! Don't you dare hurt Nicky!, NICKY Watch out"!
Other man, "Dam lady, quit", he back hands Betty knocking her out cold.
Suddenly the SUV is on its side, tossing everyone around inside, the roof is torn off and Betty is removed by Nicky. Nicky then reaches in and pulls both of the would be kidnapers out, giving both a little love tap.
Checking over Betty, her hand glow slightly over her, Betty begin to stir, quickly moving to the down agents of her escort, she sees they both had on vest and are ok, again her hand glow slightly over them as she checks them. By this time the Security Forces are arriving.
Officer, "Freeze"!
Nicky, 'pointing at the two sleeping would be kidnapers' "There's the bad guys Officer, they tried to kidnap this woman and me, and tried to murder these two Homeland agents".
Watching as they cuffed, she warns the Officer, "be sure to double the guards on those two, the last time we had any of them in custody they manage to escape killing two guards".
Officer, "Yes Ma'am"!
Nicky, "Can you have someone check the other SUV, we missing two more agents".
Officer, "Yes Ma'am, Charlie, go check the other SUV and report back ASAP"!
Charlie, "Roger", moving at a run with weapon drawn he approaches the other SUV, it dark windows make it impossible to see inside, slowly the officer open the one side door, and with a quick peek and duck sees two bodies in the back. Moving to the back, he opens it, a quick look and he yell back to his pardner, "Mark, they are both dead here".

Nicky hearing this turns to the officer, "I need four things, one, get more SPs here to secure this area. Two, get a meat wagon to take care of the dead, three, get these two agents and Mrs Farley to your ER, and four, make dam sure to lock those two up so they are separate from each other and keep the cuffs on them".
Officer, "Yes Ma'am". Then gets on his radio requesting more help ASAP.
Nicky moves over to where Agent Mac is, squatting down next to him she reaches for his wrist radio, keying it as she seen them do, she speaks into it. "Watchdog, come in". Pulling his ear piece from his ear she puts it up to hers, "Watchdog, come in".
Male voice, "This is Watchdog, who is this and where is Guardian"?
Nicky, "Guardian is down at BX, attackers, two gunman captured, SPs on scene, two agent dead, two injury, the packages are alive and well, send backup ASAP".
The voice, "Roger, backup in route".
Nicky, "Roger they can fine us at the bases' ER, out".
Turning to the officer, "OK you are in charge here, I am going with Mrs Farley and the two agents to the ER, Homeland is in route, be sure to direct them to the ER, and double check any IDs that come for those two prisoners".
Officer, "Yes Ma'am"!

Thank you, Janice Lynn for your helping with the current titles of the forces responsible for Air Force base security.

Golden Girl Part 3.

Scientists all over the world have sought how to enhance human body. Exposure to deadly chemicals and nuclear fusion Gamma Ray did nothing except shorten the life of the test subject.

One hour after the base attack;
Director Savage, "I want to know how they found out about this 'shopping' trip, do we have a leak, or was it dumb luck"?
Group of agents standing in front of him.
Agent, "Sir we are not sure at this time, but feel they may have been assign to watch the base for any government movement".
Another agent, "We got a News blackout on the attack and the bases' Public Relations section has a cover story of a the base security training mission, so far we have no problems.
Savage, "Where are the two prisoners now"?
Another agent, "Under lock and key deep inside HLS".
Savage, "Get our best people on them, I want answers and I want them yesterday"!
Agents, "Sir! Yes Sir"!
Savage, pushes a button on his office intercom,"Nancy get me the clinic on the phone I want to speak to Nick Farley and Dr Sinclair".
Savage, "Dismiss".
Agents, "Sir"! All file out.
Secretary, "Sir, I have Dr Sinclair on the line".
Savage, Picks up his phone, "Doctor? Everyone ok there"?
Dr Sinclair, "They are just fine, Nicky didn't have a scratch on her and Betty is just fine. She was unconscious during the ride to the Bases ER, but came out of that while in the ER. Not a mark on her, and both of your agents that made it are up and about also".
Savage, "Well thank God for a small blessing there. Where is Nick"?
Dr Sinclair, "She is with Betty and Ted at the bungalow, I'll be seeing them shortly".
Savage, "Alright, I want a teleconference in the morning with you and him".
Dr Sinclair, "I would think you would be using a different pronoun for Nicky by now. She did very good today, saving Betty, capturing those two kidnapers".
Savage, "Understood Doctor, its just I knew Nick a very long time ago, we served overseas and its hard to think of him as a woman".
Dr Sinclair, "I'm a Dr Who fan, so seeing someone in another body is not a new concept for me, though on the show it was always male".
Savage, "Alright Doctor, I'll talk to you in the morning", hangs up, more or less to himself,"You are right Doctor, and I will try to remember that".

At the bungalow a very hard conversation is going on among the three concerning what had happen during the trip to the base.
Nicky, "Ted, we are ok, your mother was checked at the ER and we were both checked here at the clinic".
Ted, "Do we have any idea who they were? How did they find you and Mom? Are you sure you both are ok"?
Nicky, "Questions I am sure Homeland is asking those two prisoners right now".
Betty, 'soft smile and a gentle hug on her son', "Yes we are just fine, the doctors said they could not find anything, not even a bruise from the slap I got when that ugly thug hit me".
Nicky, "Yes we are both just fine".
Betty, "Its sad we lost all your new clothes, I guess we can always try again".
Nicky, "Well I not worried about the clothes, just means I get to wear my sweats more".
Betty, "But there was some really nice outfits for you to wear, and the makeup we lost".
Nicky, "Outfits, makeup? It was like the worse two hours of my life. Even before all of this I never went shopping in the lingerie section with you, buying it for myself was just down right embarrassing. All Wilma could do was hold stuff to me and coo over how good it would look on me, at least Mac had the sense to stay away from there while we 'three girls' were in that section of the store."
Betty, 'giggles', "Yes that was cute, if you had powers to fall through a floor you would have when she held that nightie up on you".

Just then the bell rings, a shadow can be seen through the smoke glass of the door. Ted moves to answer it.

Ted, "Hello? Can I help you"?
Mac, "You must be Ted? I'm Agent Wilson, 'flashes his badge', this is Agent Rocker", gesture towards Wilma.
Betty, "Mac!, Wilma! Do come in, what brings you out this late in the day? everything ok"?
Nicky, "Hello Mac, Wilma, did not expect you, you were released from the hospital pretty quick"?
Mac, 'Walking in carrying handful of bags', "When the doctor could not fine anything wrong with us, we released ourself from their care. Watchdog already had everything else taken care of, so Wilma and I went back to the BX and found that the manager had cleared all your bags from the scene and was holding them for someone to pick up".
Betty, "All of it?! The makeup also"?
Wilma, "And the nightie", 'A wink toward Nicky'.
Nicky, 'groans, "No"?
Betty, "Yes"!

The phone rings, Nicky grabs it. "Hello? Oh Sure thing Doc, come on over we have a house full and I am sure they would love to hear any News you may have for us, see you in five.", hangs up.
Mac, "Nicky, I'm not sure all that happen today and I'm sure we, 'pointing at Wilma and himself', don't have the clearance to find out either, but we would sure like to know how you managed to do all you did today".
Nicky, "Mac, you and Wilma deserve a full explanation and I'm sure that your bosses will agree when I tell you this little tale, but lets wait for the good Doctor, alright"?
Mac, With a nod at Wilma', "Alright".

A knock at the door results in the good doctor arriving as expected.
Betty, "Dr Sinclair! Do come in, let me introduce you Agents Wilson and Rocker", 'pointing towards Mac and Wilma'.
Dr Sinclair, "Ahh the two agents that were with you today"?
Nicky, "Yes, they both took a bullet in the chest, thank god they had on their vests when that happen".
Mac, "Sure did not help George or Fred".
Dr Sinclair, "Well a bullet to the back of the head, it was quick, they did not feel it".
Mac, "22 caliber"?
Dr Sinclair, "Yes, good guess there Agent Wilson".
Mac, "CIA assassin's gun. Glad we got those two, they will pay for George and Fred".
Nicky, "Well I'm just glad we got somebody that can talk, there is a lot of questions we all have. I for one would like to know why and who".
Dr Sinclair, "Yes there is that, another question that I have to ask, are there more like you Nicky, people they already have awaiting to become their super soldier"?
Betty, "Good God, more like Nicky here but not like Nicky"?
Ted, "Mutants Mom, and Dad may not be the first".
Mac, "Dad"?
Dr Sinclair, "Nicky if you wish to explain that".
Nicky, "They took a bullet for me today, it the least I can do".
Dr Sinclair, "I'll help".
Betty, "All this time we been here and we don't know your first name Doctor"?
Dr Sinclair, "Jim".
Nicky, "Well Jim, this is Mac and Wilma".

The scene fades during this long talking into the evening. When Mac and Wilma leave for the night, Jim says his goodbyes but not before telling Nicky that the first thing in the morning blood work, then the test track.

In the medical wing of the clinic. Dr Sinclair is looking at the results from the blood work done on the two agents and Betty at the ER after the attack. He is not surprised that there was no bruises found on any of them, what is surprising is according to Betty's medical files there should be mature scar from an old appendicitis operation, yet the scar is now gone completely. He orders a full examination to be done on Betty while Nicky is busy at the test track. His phone rings, "hello? Yes Director, Nicky should be here any moment, I have a favor to ask concerning the two agents that were with her yesterday? Yes I would like them to be station here 24, 7. Since they were involved somewhat in the attack Nicky took it on her own to brief them yesterday evening. Director, please don't kill the messenger. Yes Director". Just then Nicky walks in, "Here she is Director, I'll put us on speaker", 'mouths to her, pissed about the two agents'.
Nicky nods, "Hello Savage, how are you today"?
Savage, "Don't you try to change the subject, what is this about those two agents"?
Nicky, "They took a bullet for me, and deserve the true, I want them on this team here, far better since they know the true now and not some mother daughter story".
Savage, "Alright, I'll make sure they are assign there, maybe with them around 24, 7 I can keep the lid on this a bit longer".
Nicky, "What the story on the two prisoners"?
Savage, "So far they are a cell of four, CIA says the are rogue, two got away yesterday, and if we had been quicker with breaking the other two down we might have caught them at their safe house, but by the time we got the information the other two flew the coop. The two we have have no further information regarding the location of the other two, but we do have a name of an old contact that by all rights should be long dead now, but his name kept coming up during the interrogation".
Nicky, "Who is it Savage"?
Savage, "Marko Roberts".
Nicky, "Impossible, he is dead, his helicopter exploded and crashed in Vietnam".
Dr Sinclair, "Who is this Roberts"?
Nicky, "Marko Roberts, he was the first U S General to be killed during the Vietnam War".
Dr Sinclair, "Maybe a son or other relation"?
Savage, "We are looking into it. It seems they were order by this Roberts to have teams of two to watch Military bases for your wife. Another little thing that came up during this interrogation, something about clowns, we are not sure what but they keep saying The Clowns are Coming".
Nicky, "Alright Savage, thanks".
Savage, "I own you Nick, you saved my butt more then once in the old days. Its the least I can do here, Dr Sinclair I still expecting that full medical report ASAP".
Nicky, "No worries".
Dr Sinclair, "I'll have that sent over right away Director".
Savage, "Right see you all later, more later when I have it Nicky".
'click', the phone goes dead.
Nicky, "Look on the bright side, no more shopping trips".

Later that morning Dr Sinclair and Nicky are at the track, again she is wear black, yet without the wires or sensors.
Nicky, "Black is now becoming my favor color it seems. Whats up Jim"?
Jim, "Newest piece of testing equipment, this suit cost well over $1000000.00 and it is going to pay for itself during your tests".
Nicky, "A MILLION"!
Jim, "Well with the equipment that is around and under this track we have a little over 25 million tied up here, so try not to break anything on this very first trip".
Nicky, "Equipment? Looks like a normal outdoor track, half mile"?
Jim, "Yes half mile. There are very special high speed cameras all around, sensors above and under and of course we are invisible from above except for really low flying aircraft".
Nicky, "So what do I do"?
Jim, "Today is just to test the waters, when I tell you to go I want two complete laps, you don't move at your top speed, just a normal run, this will give me a base line. Once that is done we will try two more laps but at a higher speed, I know you are fast but lets do baby steps till we know more".
Nicky, "Gotcha".
Jim, "OK the starting blocks are right over there, I'll be your starter".
Walking over to the starting blocks she quickly set her feet and with a look back at Jim waits for his command.
Jim, Looking up from the equipment, picks up a stop watch takes one last look at the equipment turns, "On your mark", 'she sets her feet again', "Get set", 'she does a runner squat over the blocks, "GO"!
Holding back she does, what she hopes looks like, a normal run around the tracks twice and stops right where she started at.
Nicky, "Your time"?
Jim, "4:21.68, let review the tapes and see if we can see anything from the cameras point of view".
Sitting at the table they both review the run from the different cameras, normal, high speed, infer red, thermal. The one thing that they both pick up on is the thermal camera, there are no images of her foot prints, 'tracks' on the track. Looking very closely at the other cameras they see that she never touch the ground. Starting at the beginning they see her feet set firmly in the starting blocks, but once she starts running her feet never touch the soil.
Nicky, "Well I'll never wear out the soles of these boots".
Jim, "OK, another run, this time I want you to try and come in at two minute or so"?
Nicky, "No problem, I know how fast I was running and can adjust to meet that time".
Jim, "You can"?
Nicky, "Yes, I cannot explain it, but I have no need for a watch, I know the time where ever I am".
Jim, "Interesting, something we will check later, for now two laps, half the time".
Nicky, "Yes Doctor".

Homeland Security, Washington, D.C. Director Savage's office.
Intercom buzz, Savage click on it, "Yes Nancy"?
Nancy, "Special Agent Rimfire on line two sir".
Savage, "Thank you". Releases the intercom switch and picks up his phone, pushing 2, "Savage here, what you got for me Rimfire"?
Rimfire, "Sir! Its Clones, not clowns"!
Savage, "Good God"! Yelling through the office door, "Nancy! Get me Dr Sinclair right now"!
"Rimfire I want this building locked down and everyone including me are to be double checked and all passwords are to be changed ASAP"!
