 You’ve Been Z’Dar-Faced.

--------------------------------------------

The Oakendale Center for the Injured was one of the most welcoming places for anyone to work, with such friendly staff there was no way you could not have fun there, Nathan and his Microbe friends were part of the hospital’s helpers team and they got along well with everyone, ?well mostly everyone except one of the head nurses…Karmillana, she was a complicated case, she was helpful at most times and kind but she acted like all of her patients were little kids, ordering them around and acting like she was there to tell them what to do, which irked the microbe gang so much. On the night of February 15th 2022, there was a particular experience and a particular exchange which provoked Corey Covid, Corey watched as he saw one of his new friends Egg-Na the egg-cell falling far under the bed, he contacted Karmillana and had her help with Egg-Na’s rescue only to be greeted with her usual snide remark. ‘Next time one of your microbian buddies gets stuck down the bed, don’t call me.’  ‘Oh lord, what did I do this time?’ The covid microbe sighed, rolling his eyes.

Corey normally loved Karmillana but he knew that there was a limit to what he could take from her, he was good at obeying her main rules but when she made rules within rules, that’s when things got complicated. ‘One of your friends got stuck at the bottom of the bed and I had to save her, please don’t sleep on the top of the beds.’  “Excuse me? What’s wrong with that?’  ‘Well having to rescue you guys is difficult for me since I am just one nurse on duty and as you know if I got injured I wouldn’t be able to look after you guys.’  Oats, the anthropomorphic horse-guy in the nurse outfit looked offended at what Karmillana was saying…’That’s ridiculous, everyone knows i’d be able to do it if one of you nurses was to get injured, you always say it’s a difficult job on your own but you’re a capable and experienced nurse, how can doing one simple little rescue task injure you? You must have really fragile bones.’  ‘What? I’ve had these bones of mine fixed a multitude of times and upgraded ever since I was away from home.’  “We all know that, we all know you’ve had to replace one of your limbs with a cybernetic one and lord knows how many operations you’ve had, you’re always falling apart.’

“It’s that whenever you guys sleep together in or on the bed you’re a bit too heavy.”

‘A bit too heavy? Lady, I don’t know if you know this, but you’re partially superhuman, you’re extremely strong but rarely ever use your strength for anything. You have a gift and you’re wasting it.’ Corey exclaimed, snorting as he did, his spikes perking up as his eyes gave off a supernatural glow. ‘It’s just it’s our job to take care of you guys and the other patients and…’ ‘Yeah yeah we know, if you got injured how are we going to look after us, bla bla bla..same spiel over and over.’  ‘I’m just saying.’ ‘Yes, you’re about to establish another one of your stupid rules, as if the only 7 of us allowed in the office rule wasn’t bad enough, now you want only two of us in bed.’

“I am just saying it’s safer if only two or three slept together and not all of you.”

‘Lady, you’re lucky I am not an Omnicrom Covid Microbe or I would have ended your life by now.’   ‘How about we make a deal?’ ‘We already had one deal and now you want another? Look, I was with you on the only 7 of us allowed in the office at once rule but not on this, oh no you don’t..one was enough, enough with your dumb rules. You may be one of the head nurses but you are not the boss of us.’ ‘I’ll tell you what, how about 2, 3 or 4 of you can snuggle up on the bed and the rest can sit on the tables and watch? Is that a deal?’

“Sorry, no deal.”

“Yeah, sorry.”

Karmillana was about to complain or offer one more counterpoint to the argument when she heard there was an emergency in the room that was across from her and left.’Phew, she’s gone.’ ‘Honestly I like that woman but I don’t like how she runs the place, I wish someone would find a way to show her what it’s like to be controlled.’  That’s when Corey felt a chill run down his spine as he heard a deep voice,that voice being the ghost of Robert Z’Dar. ‘Leave that to me, I’ll show you how.’

“Corey, I think something just answered our prayers.”

“I don’t know if that is a bad thing or a good thing.”

Z’Dar’s ghost chuckled as he materialized in front of Corey and Oats before levitating into the room where Karmillana was, he saw her about to assistant someone with medication when he decided to have a go at bringing her over, he saw her and took note of her body, how largely built and firm it was and how it looked like it would be the the perfect body to possess, and he made his move, taking on a translucent form as he entered her body through her mouth and throat. ‘Hey…what are you doing in my body?’ ‘I am doing what I have been sent here to do, which is help. You like to control people, how would you like it if I did it to you?’

“No…please don’t.”

“I think you should give yourself a big hand.”

Without a word of warning Karmillana’s left hand slapped her own face as Z’Dar’s ghost manipulated her and controlled her every movement as if she was his puppet, she tried to regain control but he had other plans. ‘If you think this all I have in store for you, think again, I think you could use with an upgrade.’  ‘What are you doing?’  Before she had any time to protest, Z’dar’s face appeared on her stomach, which in term slowly begin to shrink and lose the bit of weight it had gained over the years in place of muscle which was developing on it, the muscles began to spread to her arms which bulked up along with her enlarging hands, which in turn was causing the gloves she was wearing to tear apart as she saw the hairs growing on her arms and hands.

She groaned as with a snap her back began to broaden and grow along with her chest, her chest was packing on muscles as her vast in size breasts were pulled into the aforementioned chest while her torso also packed on muscle, her tan skin slowly losing its normal color until it very much wasn’t there anymore, well the tan wasn’t there anymore, her skin itself had cleared itself up.  “What are you doing to me?’ ‘Improving your look. You could use a new look, after all how else am I going to be in control?’  

“I don't want this. Please stop.”

“I can tell from your groaning that you like it though.”

As much as she hated what was happening to her body she definitely thought it was oddly alluring and kind of sexy as her top strained and the buttons popped off.  In addition to this her legs also altered in the same way her arms did and her rear lost several aspects of its round softness and shrank while her privates altered to the more masculine variant, making her now look like she had the body of a muscular action star, her feet enlarged in the process. Her shoulders broadened as she shot up in height to 6’2 and that’s when she started examining her body. ‘You see, you try to enforce your rules on others, but how do you even think you can convince others to be responsible when you’re not being responsible with your own life yet alone your own body?’  She panicked and attempted to call the other nurses but as she did her neckline altered.

Her long hair was darkening, turning jet black as her eyebrows thickened while her brow altered, her eyes widened as her nose altered, growing and contorting while her lips lost their lusciousness and her features altered to give her the appearance of having cherubism as they became more rugged, her jawline enlarged which included chin which gave her an oddly handsome appearance despite having cherubism,  she felt her new face and gasped, as she did her voice deepened and contorted, gruffening and contorting,becoming exactly like Robert’s voice as she begin to think differently, she didn’t think that she had been born female, she thought she had been born male, she had been born as a male…specifically, as a man named Robert Z’dar, a couple of minutes later and he fully realized that his plan had succeeded, he had finally gotten that nagging shrew of a nurse to change her attitude. Corey and Oats both seemed to be very pleased with this…’Thank you.’ ‘Yes, thank you…I couldn’t tolerate that annoying attitude of hers and that hyena-like laugh, seriously she laughs like a female James Corden.’  “I hope you like your new body.’ ‘Why yes, yes I do..I feel like i’ve been brought back to life.’ 

“Welcome to our team by the way.”

“Thanks. It’s good to be here.”

“How are you at being a doctor?’

‘I don’t know but we’ll see.’  Corey handed Robert a uniform and he put it on and got straight to work helping out in the hospital with the microbian gang, the duo looked over at each-other and smiled, both of them feeling satisfied with what they had done,  and thus with that a new team member had been added to the group and the microbes were safe and were having a much better time and the microbes began with their mission to help the patience. Like always we come to the moral of this little story now pay attention becaus you might need some of this advice yourself. 

Thus comes the lesson of the day, it’s good to think about your health and be careful, but it’s not good to be too bossy and too strong about it, nobody likes someone who is controlling and bitchy all the time, because one of these days it might be you that gets controlled and you won’t be able to object to it, because chances are, you won’t be able to do anything about it. As the tagline says, you have the right to remain silent, forever.
