The Glow: Part 1

Hello Everyone,

Here's an excerpt from a novel I've been writing for the past few months. It's called "Fusion Force" and this is one of the many stories in the novel. It was inspired by my disappointment in the show Xmen 97 for not putting Wolverine and Morph together. So I tried to do it in my own way. Oh, I also decided to make it happen in an alternate 1950's. This story is copywritten. I hope you all enjoy. More exerts of this story are to come.

THE GLOW ( Fusion Force: Episode 1)

By Ricardo Lugo

1952 Outskirts of Miami 8pm

Grizz, short for Grizzly, a massive 6-foot 5 built man, who as hairy as his name implied, sat at the edge of a massive lake just outside Miami, Florida.

The ripples in the lake reminded Grizz that it was a body of water and not the endless black void it appeared to be.

Sweat oozed from his furry chest in the 90-degree heat.

But as insufferable as the heat was, he couldn't get his mind off the boy who jumped in the water all those years ago...and never came out. The boy who made his heart flutter. The boy who gave him his first kiss.

"George. Oh George." Grizz thought, putting his heavily bearded face into his hand's tears flowing through the cracks of his fingers.

He got so angry at himself for crying, especially since it had been at least 50 years. But his time in the great war taught him that tears were for the weak and if you were weak then you'd die.

He started rocking back and forth crying more profusely but making sure his cries weren't audible. This continued for a few short moments until...

SPLASH!

Grizz looked toward the pitch black water and saw many ripples he tried to concentrate his eyesight and the rest of his enhanced senses to figure out what just entered the water and once his vision was about to change he saw what looked like a purple glow but it was moving like an animal at least until it got closer and then he saw it had the body of a person and it's arms were mid breaststroke when he saw it surface.

Grizz was suddenly left completely breathless.

The mysterious swimmer flicked its head back revealing a smooth bald purple head.

The veteran could tell from how the droplets of water effortlessly fell away that this person's skin was baby smooth.

More of the swimmer's body emerged from the water and as Grizz saw more of it, his heartbeat went faster and faster.

The swimmer had breasts, but even though they were uncovered, they did not have nipples.

Finally, the mystery person opened their eyes and even in the side profile made the veteran's heart skip a beat. Her eyes were solid Fuschia; there was no iris or any other detail about them.

"My god what beautiful eyes." Thought Grizzly

The Purple being then finally turned toward him, an expression of awe in its eyes and then shock which finally knocked Grizz out of his stupor and then the swimmer looked terrified.

"I didn't know anyone else was here. Please don't scream. Please don't be afraid of me?" Said the Swimmer.

Grizz looked down and answered.

"Oh, wow I thought you'd be afraid of me...I'm so sorry to look at you like this, I don't know what came over me."

The swimmer then tilted her head to the right in the water while looking at this huge built, hairy man, realizing that for the first time in her life that someone was looking at her true self without fear.

"It's fine... Just let me put a little something on."

Grizz nodded and kept looking down.

After a minute, the swimmer told Grizz to look up and then the hairy veteran realized something about her voice.

It was the perfect unison of masculine and feminine pitches and if he didn't see the Purple being he'd have no idea which gender they were.

The swimmer wore a green sparkling emerald dress with black high heels, and Grizz was in awe again.

"How are you dry and how do you put that on so..."

"I always dress to the nines honey and It’s an ability I’ve had since birth. I can shape my entire body into all kinds of things."

That voice just made Grizz's heart race.

"What's your name baby doll?" asked the purple being with a smile on her face revealing perfect white teeth.

It took a few minutes for the hairy veteran to respond since he got lost in the swimmer's perfect pink eyes.

He shook his head aggressively and answered.

"Grizzly. But everyone calls me Grizz."

"Grizzly? Really honey?"

Grizz struggled to respond appropriately since he had only explained this to one person, his paramour George over 50 years ago.

"That's what my unit called me during The Great War and it's kind of stuck..."

"What's your real name honey?" The Purple being demanded lightly.

Grizz looked down and exhaled.

"I don't know...I haven't known for as long as I can remember.

The Purple being put her hand on Grizz's shoulder.

"It's okay..."

Grizz then looked up toward the swimmers' faces, their pink eyes once again taking his breath away.

"I'm Paragon...That's my chosen name but I don't know my real name either."

They both looked at each other for a moment.

Grizz lost once again in what he thought were the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen and Paragon wondering how this huge hairy man wasn't afraid of her.

"Well, what's the last thing you remember Grizz?"

Grizzly thought about it for a little bit and his eyes were watering.

"Sitting here with Georgie back in 02. And I have memories of fighting the Confederates with the North and battling Germans in two World Wars."

"02? As in 1902?" Inquired Paragon.

"Yeah, I don't age like other people. I was born a freak." Said Grizz humorously.

Paragon's face remained steady.

"Grizz you are not a freak...You're one hairy motherfucker! But you're not scary."

Both burst out into hearty laughter at that statement. After a few minutes.

"I was born like this too. Anyone that can look at this..." Paragon gestured to herself as if she was a showgirl "And not runway is certainly not a freak."

"Fucking fools..." Grizz felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him as he said that and Paragon smiled.

"What are you doing out here exactly?" The swimmer asked.

"Well today...way back George my sweet Georgie passed, and this place helps me remember him."

Paragon put her arm around his massive back and held him. Grizz felt a warmth from her that he hadn't felt in almost 30 years and her supernaturally smooth skin had such a nice feel alongside his almost furlike hair.

"Hey Para, do you mind if I call you para...and what pronouns do you prefer?"

Para smiled from ear to ear.

"Yeah, baby you can call me Para... I go by she/her. But I'm non-binary."

Grizz was a bit confused at the term but taking a look at Para he was able to figure out quite quickly that it meant she didn't identify as a man or woman.

"You're too beautiful to be either." Thought the hairy immortal man. It shook him to his core that he had just met this person and he already felt like he'd fight armies for her.

"Well Para what are you doing here?" Grizz asked humorously.

She grinned and in her wonderful unique voice replied.

"I like to come here and swim when life is just too much...Or if I'm too much for life."

Grizz chuckled again.

"How come I haven't seen you around Fur Ball?"

"I don't really like people much. I don't come out often."

Paragon looked the hairy man over again and replied

"Yeah, I got that honey. Do you have a place to stay?"

"I sure do, could I show you?"

Normally warning bells would go off in Para's head but there was something about this hairy man, a sweetness she hadn't seen in a long time. She did not want to leave him just yet.

"Show me your pad honey."

Grizz smiled and he wanted to take her hand so bad, but he didn't and showed her the way through the woods.

After about 10 minutes they arrived at what looked like a cave hidden by heavy foliage and wooded trees.

They went into the cave and Para thought.

"This dude has me walking into a cave...what is it about him?" She thought puzzled.

He then lit a match and turned on an oil lantern which revealed a small wool blanket on a small bed of straw and a six pack of beer canned beer next to it.

"Yeah, this is my palace." Grizz said proudly.

Para looked at him like he was crazy.

"You're not staying here."

Grizz looked back at her puzzled.

"What?"

"We're going back to my place and we're going to get you a job tomorrow."

Grizzly was about to respond but para's stern gaze stopped him cold and she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of his home of over 30 years.

20 minutes later

Grizz and Para arrived at a small two and half car length pink trailer with a small pink gazebo and a few fake flamingos in front.

"Man, I've never seen so much pink." Thought Grizz.

But then he snuck a glance at Para's mile long purple feminine legs.

"But she could paint me pink anytime..." Grizz was not sure if he said that or just thought it and once again his cheeks flushed crimson, but Para reached into her green purse and continued to fumble for her keys.

Grizzly exhaled and his embarrassment slowly flowed out of him.

The purple being unlocked the door. And stepped inside.

Grizz started walking up the steps and after turning the lights on Para grabbed his hand.

GASP!

Grizz couldn't help himself just her touching his hand sent a pleasurable jolt of lighting though his entire body.

Para glared at the hairy man with a puzzled expression.

"I'm sorry it's just been a while since anyone's held my hand."

The Purple being cocked an eye.

"It's okay honey, just breath."

Para guided him inside and it was just pinker. It was like someone just sprayed the walls with Pink.

The television, walls, tables, couch, doors, countertops, everything was light pink.

Grizz was about to sit on the couch before.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" Roared Paragon.

Grizzly jumped slightly and turned his gaze toward the purple being.

"TAKE A SHOWER NOW!"

Paragon grabbed Grizz's right arm and pushed him into the trailer's small shower circular stall and switched the water on.

"Aghhhhh!!" Screamed Grizz as the Ice-cold shower water slapped and pelted all over his body.

ONE HOUR LATER

Para sat on her pink couch wearing an emerald, green kimono. Watching her favorite film "The Wizard of Oz" It was at the part where Dorothy's house was flying though the tornado.

"She's so lucky." Though Para was already excited about Dorothy entering the land of Oz even after seeing the film dozens of times.

"Oz oh Oz!" She thought.

Then she heard a few heavy footsteps on her cheaply carpeted floor.

She looked toward the source of the sound and saw Grizz in her extra-large pink bathrobe. Even with that size it barely covered his toned massive physique. He held the robe together with both hands and had a shocked expression.

"How do you feel?" Asked Para

"All nice and clean..." Para said in a baby-like tone.

Grizz locked eyes with her, his expression still shocked and his lips trembled.

"I... I feel...violated!" Grizz barely uttered.

His shock caused Paragon to giggle slightly and that strangely calmed him down.

"Come on, sit down fur ball." Para said with a grin and Grizz smiled which made her heart warm.

He did so very slowly and sat down on the opposite side of the couch and even with his caution Para still felt the sofa shift under his massive weight. He still clutched his robe together, but he found his gaze switching from Paragon to the TV and he forced his gaze onto the television set to the strange film playing.

Para's eyes widened.

"You've never seen "The Wizard of Oz"?

Grizz's eyes went up and down desperately, not wanting to disappoint his host, he responded.

"Ye...Yes?"

Para cocked an eye and responded.

"It's about a teenage girl who gets mysteriously transported into a strange land with mysterious creatures. And tries to avoid an evil witch trying to kill her. She also makes good friends who help her along the way."

"Oh Okay." Grizz responded

He relaxed on the couch and began to watch the film as it turned to color. In the film Dorothy was standing in front of the munchkins.

The image left both Grizz and Para breathless.

"Those are the munchkins, the inhabitants of the land of Oz."

"Why aren't they scared?" Inquired Grizz.

Para had never thought about that before until her furry guest uttered it.

"Because everyone in the land of Oz is different, they are just used to it. I wish I could go there." Answered the purple being.

"How come?"

"So, I could be myself and not be afraid."

Those words hit Grizz really hard. He felt rage in combination with his sadness. He found his hand creeping toward Para's but forced it back.

"You should never have to hide this..." Embarrassment engulfed Grizzly like a tidal wave realizing he said those words aloud and how tenderly they sounded.

Paragon met his remark with a sly grin and spoke.

"You know you're the first person ever to see me like this and not run away..."

"What really?" Grizzly practically screamed.

Para just nodded and looked back at the movie.

Grizz did the same as well, the film just getting stranger and stranger. He asked his host question after question about the film and Para gladly explained in great detail about the backstories of the characters and how they were originally from a book. She also explained how the film was made, the struggles Judy Garland had filming on the film's set.

The hairy man goddled every word. Not necessarily because he liked the movie but Para’s voice was just so enchanting to him. After a while Para decided to snuggle on his chest and fell asleep while images of Dorothy and her friends trying to escape the witch’s castle blared from the small but thick screen.

Grizzly was too excited to fall asleep and the warmth of his host made his heart soar.

"Let's go to Oz fur ball..." She said in a slumber filled whisper.

"I'd do anything for that to happen." Thought Grizz before he fell into sleep’s sweet embrace with the rumble of the television as his white noise.
