Chapter 21: Powerups 2
Two days later, Linda paced back and forth in the room, worry etched across her face.
"Calm down, Linda," Mabel said gently, her voice soothing yet commanding. Mabel's appearance had transformed from that of a little genius girl to a woman who could alter reality with a mere wave of her hand.
Anderson, observing the situation, added, "She's right. After all, I took seven days to evolve, and theirs is just two days."
Linda's confusion was evident. "Why did Anderson take a week while my family and Awar only need two days?"
Adams answered her question before she could voice it. "Anderson is a being of two species. When he was evolving, he needed a longer period to assimilate all his bloodlines into one."
A series of groans emanated from the adjacent room, capturing their attention. Linda's eyes widened in shock as she beheld the transformed appearances of her family. John appeared to have reverted to his thirties, just as Jessica, who had become even more beautiful. James had become muscular, though not to Anderson's extent, and he had grown taller. His fiery red eyes and hair, which seemed ablaze, added to his striking transformation. Jack had become athletic and tall, but his new tail and hairy appearance terrified him. Janice's hair had turned light blue, her eyes clear blue, and she had become more beautiful. Each of the Js bore their zodiac sign marks on the back of their left hands.
Awar emerged from the shadows, his black hair and eyes making him the embodiment of the night. His laziness seemed to have intensified.
"Well, since all of you are up, get used to your abilities. After that, we'll move," Adams instructed, scanning their stats. He focused first on John.
