It is time...
Become a superhero. You are the Falcon.
"I have seen the dark underbelly of this city, and--"
"Can it, will ya?"
"--about it. I will become the--"
"Alright, less subtle then. SHUT UP YOU FREAK!"
"--darkness. I am..."
"Do you have ears?"
"...The Falcon."
"Yeah, yeah, sure. And I'm Sasha. Don't make me come there and gag you."
[6,4,4] You are about to reply, but are interrupted with shortness of breath. Your lungs don't seem to be working well, which really shouldn't be a surprise. You mutter to swear, and it comes out very high-pitched! You suddenly see an image of the inside of the van!
Focus all the light into a giant heat beam a-la a magnifying glass on an ant.
You never fail to find a destructive use for powers. One of these games, I'm going to give you a wand that summons a butterfly and watch you destroy a city with it.
[2] Or watch you try to destroy a city, at least. The cooks are brightly illuminated and a bit confused. You're a bit hungry.
[1+1] And not-mutatey.
"No' that I know of, no. Not tha' I know of." Rick attempts to get out of the lake, but instead on the shore of it, with the help of his water controlling powers. "I think I mah of got a tad too excited when I found this here lake."
[2+1] You manage to make it closer to shore...
[3] ...with no more mutations.
[Man, I don't even know. A giant worm-thing with arm tentacles, hair, strange colored face, covered in orangeish-reddish feathers, and wing-membrane with the arm tentacles. I don't even. This is awesome, but I don't even. Wait, I don't have hair anymore, forgot.]
He he he.
EHEHEHEHEHAHAHA
Laugh manaically while regenerating. Admire new appendages.
Your wounds don’t seem to be regrowing at trollish rates, but more at time-lapse-film rates.
“Hold still...there we go. You sure this is a good idea?”
[5+1,1,3;2+1] Your skin sprouts green-yellow scales, but the cut on your leg starts oozing,
-----
Test the extent of water dependency. How long do I need to be out of the water to feel woozy?
You feel much better now...probably a couple hours, but it presumably depends on humidity and heat.
Eh, just punch the fucking window already.
Falcon PAWNCH! [5;2] Ow ow ow! At least you broke in. However, people are still reacting. A large--well, almost 6 feet tall and likely past 300 pounds, pretty small to you--man is walking up to you. “What are you doing?”
((No! I wanna keep my phycho!))
((Your WHAT?))
Get so bored i get a new mutation and my mode lock disappears.
[1] You manage to halt mutation, resulting in a much-belated mercy kill. Probably.
"Oh, so it looks like someone else wants to be beaten as well?! Alright, I'll oblige!"
Confusing Punch Mark II
[5v3] Success! Some more people are reeling!
EAT the damn cage. I'll get out of it somehow!
You smack your face into the bars. This reminds you that you no longer have a face, or for that matter a mouth.
[3,3] Nothing in particular changes, except a bruise on what used to be your lips.

It’s about 11:00 now, time for the third experiment today.
Up for experimentation are a high school kid named William Snow, someone normal and not at all suspicious or sent here by the US government to get rid of him, a hobo named Greg, and Xan, a returning experiment. Each gets a shot.
Will [1] and Normal [2] feel no odd effects, while Greg [4] feels an odd lack of a sense.
