My 25 Favorite OCs: Star Girl Omega 3

When Meg's friend Dr. Kleiner at the local polytechnic university asked her to help with an experiment, Meg was happy to oblige. Meg had assisted the professor and other scientists many times before with experiments that were potentially dangerous to humans, and she got a kick out of the sometimes oddball things they asked her to do.

"Now Meg, I need you to go inside the new test chamber we've constructed and wait. I need to calibrate the instruments and then I'll give you some instructions," Dr. Kleiner said, pushing her glasses up her nose.

"Sure," Meg nodded, "anything for science," she smiled.

Dr. Kleiner returned the smile and clapped Meg gently on the forearm a couple of times. "That's my girl," she said.

Meg entered the small room that looked like some kind of decompression chamber and looked around as Dr. Kleiner walked over and sat down at a console. Another woman entered the room and sat down beside Dr. Kleiner.

"Everything ready?" the woman asked.

The doctor nodded and pressed a button. There was a loud clang as the door to the chamber locked, startling Meg out of her reverie. She looked over at the door with a slight expression of concern.

"It's okay, Meg, it's just the door locking," Dr. Kleiner said over the intercom.

Meg nodded and laughed at herself a little bit. She'd been through this kind of thing many times before. Dr. Kleiner pressed a few more buttons and there was a rush of air as the chamber began to fill with gas.

"Don't worry, Meg, we're just trying to simulate some different alien atmospheres. This data may prove useful to NASA as well as to us," the doctor said matter-of-factly. "Don't hold your breath, just breathe normally, okay?"

"Sure!" Meg said cheerily. She found the more she tried to breathe normally the less normally she was breathing, so she tried to think about other things. Then something happened that had never happened before. Meg began to feel dizzy and the room seemed to rock back and forth slightly. "Doctor K, I feel kind of funny!" Meg blurted out. She noticed she had slurred her words like a drunk and she began to stagger towards the observation window.

"Yes, Meg, I imagine you do," Dr. Kleiner replied. "You see, I've been trying various substances on you during your visits to see if I could find something to negate your powers. In tiny, tiny, quantities, of course. It seems I've found just the thing," the doctor said.

"N....negate my p....powers?" Meg asked, leaning against the window. "D...doctor I have to get o....out of h...heeere...."

"I'm afraid you won't be going anywhere, Meg, at least until you have been incapacitated and restrained. At that point I will be turning you over to the nice lady from H.A.T.E.* sitting beside me in the control room," Dr. Kleiner responded.

Meg's face twisted into a look of panic, "H....H.A.T.E?!? Doc...tor what have you d....done?" she screamed as she began to pound on the window. To her surprise not only did it not give way, it didn't even budge.

"Poor, sweet, Meg. So powerful, yet so naive," the doctor chuckled. "I'm sorry, my dear, but I've been working for H.A.T.E. for quite some time. Not only have they paid me a fortune to find ways to de-power and control you, but they've funded my research quite lavishly, and without all the ridiculous constraints my corporate and government backers insist on."

"H...how c...could you..." Meg stammered, her eyelids growing heavy and beginning to droop as she continued to punch at the glass with her fist. She was starting to sway and lean, each punch farther apart and weaker than the last.

"If it's any consolation, Meg, H.A.T.E. has promised me that they don't intend to harm you," Dr. Kleiner said. "At least not any more than necessary."

But Meg didn't hear, she was already laying unconscious on the chamber floor.

====================

I got the Star Girl Omega costume as a mini-hunt prize at a place called Bare@Rose and did my usual upgrading and changing of parts (at least I hope they're upgrades!). It has a kind of Japanese cartoon feel to it that I like, and I hope you like it, too!
