Theo’s Hideout
A naked girl in her late teens stood silently as the Eisenmadchens around her held large body sized mirrors.
She was tall for her age with a firmly toned body that signified the many battles she has walked away from.
Her skin tone was in the middle of the pristine white Juno and the chocolate brown Pani.
While she looked like a girl her age, there were 2 assets that were very eye catching.
First were her pair of silver eyes. Though beautiful, it felt very very unnatural.
The second was her perfectly shaped, sizable bust of 91.
Personally, she does not understand or care about about this number. All she cared about was 1 thing…
“God these things are heavy. I’ve gotten used to it thanks to Miss Samantha’s training, but these damn things threw my balance off quite a bit” complained the girl in a feminine voice that made her cringe upon hearing it.
“Theo… It really pisses me off that you, a temporary female, gets one of the most coveted assets of a woman….” replied Nichola who had a very modest pair of assets.
“It’s not my fault that this is what your potion turned me into. Why did you even make a gender bending potion?” replied Theo as he observed his new body
“Let’s just say there are tons of perverts out there with too much money on their hands. And since there is a demand, naturally I’ll provide the supply.”
Despite being used for perverted intentions, Nichola’s gender bending potion was an extremely complex alchemic masterpiece.
This was because it allowed the drinker to become a fully functioning version of one’s self if he/she was born as the opposite sex.
It was so perfect that it was possible to impregnate/get pregnant while under the effect of the potion.
Naturally, it had a couple of drawbacks.
First and foremost, it only lasts 1 hour.
To extend the duration, one must drink another 20ml shot 5-10 minutes before the effect expires.
Second, the transformation HURTS LIKE FUCKING HELL!
It wasn't as bad as the omnigel, but it was still enough to bring him to tears.
If he wasn't so conditioned by the omnigel, he would have fainted from intense pain.
Apparently, the gender bending potion was Nichola’s most profitable products.
Though she won't disclose her clients identity for confidentiality’s sake, she did reveal a couple of them wanted to get pregnant with their ‘lover’ and required vasts amounts of the potion on a daily basis.
Different strokes for different folks.
“I admit though, I’m a bit jealous of my future daughter if she inherits your bloodline.” said Juno.
Quite ironic given how Juno possessed a near-perfect hourglass figure.
“Since I’m experiencing this for myself, I don't envy my child one bit. These breasts will do a number on her shoulder.” replied Theo.
The basis of the form taken by the gender bending potion was ‘if you were born as the opposite gender, what would you look like?’
As such, it gave Theo a decent barometer as to what his daughter would look like if she does indeed inherit his bloodline.
FYI: big boobs in Theo’s bloodline originated from his mother.
All female directly related to his mother had very bountiful front bumpers.
“Hey Nichola. I want some of the gender bending potion please…. Fuehehehehe” said Juno with very clear immoral intentions plastered in her face.
“”NO!”” Theo and Nichola fiercely responded.
“Eh? Why?”
“I’m the one that screws people! Not the other way around!” Theo replied passionately.
“You heard Theo. And besides, transformation twists and breaks the body before reforming it to a different form. That’s the main reason why it hurts so much. If you took my potion, that baby in your stomach will most certainly die.” said Nichola.
“Oh. Nevermind then.” said Juno
“By the way, how’s the doxxing operation?” asked Theo as the Eisenmadchens helped him into a Z61 Scout Armor with its left arm completely unprotected.
It was less bulky than his usual Z49 Scout Armor, thus it was perfect to wear underneath another set of clothing. In Theo’s case, it was pure white, long sleeve sunday dress.
Pani, who has been silent all this time, approached Theo and showed him her pad.
“Report: As planned, a virus was released into the internet that changed the background image of an infected computer to a simple list of the identity of the Penitence Vigilante group and some links for further evidence. The mainstream media and the social media is in chaos. Colbert Sea Oil’s stock price has went down 31.58% as of an hour ago. Prediction: the downward trend will continue for some time, though it will become steeper once the second phase starts.” replied Pani
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Huh… so far so good. I guess it's about time for me to do my thing…. Though I am a bit worried about this one...” said Theo as he clenched his mechanical left hand.
In order to completely sell the illusion that he was not Theodore Lorne, he swapped out his beloved adamantium left arm for a tungsten one that looked very much like a normal human arm.
It lacked the 3 archon batteries that allowed him to pull of his power punches, but it was installed with a couple of compartments that housed some Nichola-made magic items.
This would allow Theo to present an illusion that he could use magic.
“I can go with you, you know?” said Juno.
“And risk harming our child? Not a chance.” replied Theo
“Aww how sweet. But you know I’m still more powerful than you even in this state, right?”
“Yup. I know. Odds are you can butcher your way through this event without a single scratch. However, the goal is not to leave a trail of corpses. It it is to kill a small number of people, rescue a willing prisoner and make a clean getaway. I think I’m much better at those things than you.”
“Ugh… subtlety… I’ll never understand why you people enjoy doing things in such a roundabout way.”
“Personally, I don't. I just happen to be good at it. Anyways, its time-”
As Theo was about to move to the next phase, the milf Eisenmadchen EM09 stepped forward and took a knee.
“My lord, you have visitors.” said EM09
“What? Damn it, I dont have time for whoever it is.”
“The 2 belonged to you VIP list. As stated in your SOP, we have led them to one of the meeting rooms.”
Theo’s VIP list was a small group of people that Theo’s troops must protect, must not attack, must not insult and must be treated as someone of high value.
Theo’s family, wives and very close friends belonged to this group.
Given how small the list was, Theo instantly connected the dots as to who it was.
“*sigh*... I guess I’ll be postponing the operation for tomorrow.” replied Theo as he took of his power armor.
“Suit yourself. Naturally, you have to drink this.” said Nichola as she offered Theo a 20ml vial filled with clear liquid.
This was a potion that forcefully ended the Gender Bending potion’s effect.
Naturally, the metamorphosis still hurt like hell.
“Shit… here we go again”

10 minutes later
A meeting room in Theo’s company building.
“Wazzup! How’s it going!” said Theo as he walked into the meeting room.
There were 2 individuals who sat nervously around the large table. These were Vivi Cornielo and Phoebe Tharja.
Unfortunately for Theo’s energetic greeting, his 2 friends were too high strung to reply in kind.
It was natural given the current situation
“I guess this is no time for jokes huh. Right down to business then.” said Theo
He sat in front of his 2 friends and said in a calm and non threatening manner…
“So, what do you guys want?”
The 2 squirmed under Theo’s gaze.
He already knew what they wanted, but he wanted to make them suffer a bit. The Penitence wanted be the shit out of him after all.
Vivi may have not thrown a punch, but he was part of the group. A little vengeance was in order.
Vivi took a deep breath and steeled his will.
“Theo, I understand that we have done something horrible to you and nothing I say can make up for it. But I have to ask you as a friend, please stop spreading the private information on the Penitence!”
“Oh? You figured out that I was behind that huh. Well, it was pretty obvious after all.” replied Theo
“Please Theo! They are good people! You’ll understand if you get to know them! Please stop this!”
“No”
Theo’s reply shocked Vivi and Phoebe. Not because of how quick his reply was, but how cold his voice was. It lacked any of the happy go lucky persona that he normally presented to them.
It was cold, blunt and cruel.
This was his standard persona when he was angry but can't just kill the source of his anger.
Theo hated the ‘Power of Friendship’.
The very idea that if you pester something hard enough, things will eventually go your way pissed him off to the highest degree.
While he had no problems about people using their feelings as a source of power, he hated it when they turn off their brains.
Though the 2 were a bit overwhelmed, they had to push forward.
“Theo… how could you say something like that?” asked Phoebe.
“Vivi said it himself. They have done something horrible to me and nothing you’ll say will make up for it.” replied Theo
“But that’s-”
“They tried to kill me.”
FYI: Theo knew they only planned to rough him up a bit, but they were a thorn in his side.
If he left them be, there will be multiple conflicts down the lane.
They might even become his arch nemesis just like Crow and that lunatic Jester.
Theo has no time or patience to deal with that!
As such, they needed to die.
“They weren't trying to kill you!” said Vivi
“That sure hell didn't look like it to me.”
“That’s only because you attacked first!”
“Oh? Now you’re blaming me?”
“N-no! It’s not like that!”
Truth be told, Theo was having a bit of fun putting screws into Vivi.
Childish as it may be, he envied Vivi’s ability to attract girls without even trying. They were practically throwing themselves at him.
Theo, on the other hand, could only attract the weird and potentially scary ones. Aside from Juno, he had to think of ways to manipulate Nichola and Pani into doing what he wanted over a decent amount of time.
At the moment, Theo was extracting petty revenge on Vivi.
“Tell me Vivi, why do think I’m resorting to doxxing?” asked Theo
“How should I know?!” replied Vivi with passion
“Because I cant touch any of them.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Your ‘friends’ are being protected not only by their families and superheroes. Even if they had clearly broken the law, there is no chance for justice to be served. This minor form of annoyance is the best I can do to express my dissatisfaction”
“And that justifies not only making your enemy suffer, but also damaging a company enough to cause mass layoffs?” said Vivi in a surprisingly serious manner.
It seemed that this was his trump card to sway Theo.
Nice card, but Theo was more than prepared to counter it.
“*sigh*... it seems that being roundabout is to much for you to understand. Fine, I’ll be frank. I’m doing this harassment as a way to vent the intense murderous impulse I have towards someone who betrayed me.” said Theo in such a way that it felt like he was legitimately in a murderous mindset. “A friend whom I thought had my back, a friend who I would not hesitate to go to hell and back for, a friend whom I look up to TRIED TO KILL ME!”
Theo slammed his left arm into the marble table, shattering it into a million pieces.
His tungsten arm might not be as tough as the adamantium, but it was very much as strong.
This sudden burst of (fake) rage took Vivi and Phoebe by surprise.
Theo walked up to Vivi and grabbed him by the collars of his shirt.
“The only thing that’s keeping me from ripping your eyes, guts and testicles out and shoving it down your throat is the memory that I considered you as my best friend. Do you understand?! MY HEART WANTS YOU DEAD! …. But my mind knows that I will forever regret it.”
Theo violently shoved the horrified Vivi back to his seat.
It seemed that his friend finally understood the message behind Theo’s script.
Theo returned to his seat and stared coldly at his friends.
“Vivi, while I do see you in a better light after you grew a pair of balls, you successfully burned the bridge when your group attacked me. I hope that we’ll mend this rift in the future…. But right now, I cant stand the sight of you.” said Theo to the increasingly tearful Vivi. “You and Phoebe will leave. And until I say otherwise, you are not welcome here. Now go.”
The main reason why Theo was pushing Vivi and Phoebe away was to get them off his back and to keep them from getting caught in the eventual crossfire. He also didn't need the morality police to hounding him at the moment.
As Phoebe led the sobbing Vivi out the door, she stopped and spoke to Theo.
“I think I finally understand why you’re doxxing Vivi’s group.”
“Oh?”
“Vigilante groups have many enemies… and you’re trying to rile them up and hope that they’ll be stupid enough to attempt a kill.”
Theo flashed a small yet very cold smile.
“Take care of that softie idiot for me Phoebe.”
