The siren continued to bre as Emily Piggot gred at Xena with a gimlet eye. Xena refused to meet said gre as she just tried to think of something to say to the woman after Sherrel revealed that they knew she was expecting. She couldn't outright lie as she did not know if Colin had already developed his lie detection program and using her shapeshifting to keep from showing any tells would now be very obvious since she revealed it to be one of her powers.

  She honestly only had herself to bme for the situation she was in. Just so used to going with the flow that she managed to forget that she was no longer in her world nor a w-abiding citizen... Well, even in her old life she wasn't exactly a stickler for the rules, but she wasn't a fugitive nor felon back then either. There's a big difference between speeding a little over the limit versus going 80 in a 25.

  But that was all beside the point. Not even a week in Brockton Bay and she was being press-ganged into the PRT. Simply rolling over after having her embarrassing outburst earlier and making fairly basic ass conditions that, judging by Assault and Shadow Stalker's treatment, would be paltry for them to conceded to.

  Cauldron even pyed wingman and got the dude a waifu.

  Should she even bother joining them? Did she even need to? What is the worse-

  "Mrs. Murphy!", Emily interrupted Xena's ongoing thought. There was a self-righteous fire burning in her eyes. "Were you aware that Ms. Myoshi was harboring a biotinkered organism? You must answer the question! If you so much as twist the truth I will have you and your companions sent off, within the week, to the Birdcage!"

  She punctuated her sentences by wagging and stabbing fingers as she attempted to lean over the table. It would have been intimidating if she were in her prime, but people were rarely, if ever, intimidated by an overweight being alone.

  Someone the most intimidating animals alive can be easily turned ughable by making them chubby, just look at chubby Pitbulls. Can't take those things seriously.

  Needless to say, the attempt to intimidate rolled a Nat 1. It gave Xena the resolve to finally, finally say "fuck it".

  "It is not a biotinkered organism."

  It came out clear and concise as the elven changes slowly reverted to her 'default state’. Emily's face twisted in confusion as she did not expect a simple answer. Though her reply was still sharp.

  "What do you-"

  Yet Xena didn’t even bother to let the woman finish her sentence.

  "I know this to be true, because if it were a biotinkered organism then that would mean that I was a biotinkered organism."

  Emily's eyes started to widen as smooth charcoal ptes of chitin started to crawl across the creamy white skin of Xena. Xena slowly stood up from the table and while her height increased with her upright position so too did it increase as her body grew. The small arms that were hidden beneath her bosom grew out to become as long as her old human arms were.

  Her breasts that were rge for her body grew in scale with the rest of her to the point of becoming as rge as beach balls. The Pink dress revealed her Charcoal grey nipples, with the pumps barely hanging on, and formed a floor length skirt with leg slits starting from the hip.

  A long spiny, chitinous tail grew out from behind her as the once striking eyes were Shrouded in a rge head crest that would rival a triceratops.

  "For you see, Director Piggot, that organism is one of my daughters and! I. AM. NOT! SOME TINKER'S PET!"

  At her full size the metal table that was bolted to the ground was torn out as she reached over and plucked the fat woman from her seat with a single rge hand. Sherrel and Emily screamed as from the vents in the walls the off-yellow foam was sprayed into the room.

  Xena simply held Sherrel protectively to her chest and turned all three of them intangible as the foam quickly filled the room. The ethereal form she now took caused the dimming lights from the con-foam to darken even further and grey out the incoming off-yellow fluid.

  Now, if she were to rely on her eyesight, she'd only be able to see 3 feet ahead of her, like a moonless night in a forest. For herself it was of no real consequence, though annoying, but for the two passengers she held, they were quite shocked about being plunged into darkness.

  "Put me down you monster! You won't get away with kidnapping me, I'll make sure your kill order is signed in triplicate and sent to even the rogues! You-You Mongrel dog!"

  Emily attempted to squirm her way out from Xena's hand, but the years of neglect had reduced her once impressive muscuture. Xena was just getting more and more annoyed. The interrogation room wasn't that big to begin with so now her 16ft stature meant before she turned intangible, she had to almost get on her knees and bend over to fit. Now that was solved but another problem surfaced.

  Where was Yuri?

  "Shut it Miss Piggy, else I won't bother being gentle. I've pyed along with this farce for long enough and if you don't behave, I WILL master you. So do not take me for some weak cape newbie."

  Whether out of an unreasonable sense of self-worth, sheer stupidity, or some other excuse like being plunged into darkness; the fat woman did not behave and continued to demand Xena release her with insults which sealed her fate.

  Xena marked Emily as the next victim but put it off for the moment, she had to pick up Yuri from wherever she was and leave her newest daughter to cause chaos in the heart of the heroes' base.

  She floated through the walls, ceiling and floor as she made her way like a spectre down the red hued halls of the Protectorate HQ. Her faint ethereal outline encompassed the whole hallway which made the already difficult challenge of distinguishing her even harder.

  PRT troopers dressed in their bck armored uniforms rushed through her on their way to her st known location of the Interrogation room.

  Xena took in a rge breath, her xenobiology able to smell without visible nostrils as she hunted for a scent she was all too familiar with, her own milk.

  She smelt it heavily on herself and from the room behind her, but she could also smell the trail that led down the hall. She ignored the smell of sweat and fear that radiated from Emily Piggot as she followed the trail though she heard it first before being near the unexpected scene, the sounds bouncing off the walls painting it vividly.

  "Gettu! OFO! ME! Yu Amerikandoggus!" Yuri's Engrish had made a marginal increase it would seem.

  Miss Militia and three other PRT troopers pinning a half-dressed Yuri to the ground as they struggled to get restraints on her.

  "Ma’am... You said she wasn't a cape, how is... such a small woman... so strong!?"

  One of the PRT agents grunted out as he managed to twist the Japanese woman's arm behind her back only to get elbowed as he made an attempt to grab the other, thus losing his progress.

  They had to stay clear of Yuri's face as it was apparent by the agent being attended to by a medic, in possession of a broken gloved hand, that it was her WHOLE body that had increased strength.

  "I don't get it either, unless she recently triggered, she should just be a normal human!"

  Hannah yelled as she tried to pin one of Yuri's legs down while the other one was being held on to for dear life by one of the other agents. The st able-bodied agent was trying to use his weight to keep her naked hips from bucking while trying his damnedest to not get a Sexual assault charge thrown his way once things had settled.

  The "sight" of the comedy skit being pyed out made Xena chuckle.

  "Sherrel, I am going to need more free hands for what's about to happen, be a dear and wait patiently. Piggot, try not to struggle too much, it would be unfortunate if you were caught in the crossfire."

  Before either of them could respond, she shunted both to her inventory before disabling her intangibility.

  In the blink of an eye, xenomorph chitin met drop-tiles, thin concrete walls and linoleum flooring, and xenomorph chitin won.

  The sound was explosive and caught everyone's attention. chips of concrete and broken ceiling tiles rained around Xena as she appeared. The PRT agents and Miss Militia flinched back and reflexively covered their faces from the debris and from seeing the supposed Endbringer appear less than a dozen feet in front of them.

  There was a silent heartbeat of them being too shocked by the sight, letting Yuri get free and run towards Xena. Miss Militia was the first to respond as she shifted her green knife into something far more fitting given the situation.

  As Yuri reached Xena Miss Militia took the shot and sent a 20mm armor piercing round point bnk at The Xenomorph Queen.
