Chapter Six

Monarth knocked at her study door two days later. “The prototype has arrived.”

Brneary sat up and looked at him with a hopeful smile. “Does it look all right?”

He turned for a moment and then returned with a large box suspended on both arms. “We didn’t open it.”

She grinned and followed him to her small table, where she tended to snack. He set the box down, and then, he waited. Apparently, this was not a private moment.

She opened the lock on the box with her thumbprint and opened the case for the prototype bio-reactive suit. The idea was that it could fit tightly against her skin while defending her from impact or being identified.

Brneary looked at Monarth. “I am not trying it on with you here.”

He nodded and turned. “I will be waiting outside.”

She chuckled and started to remove her clothing. The suit was set to her exact measurements, and any fabric between it and herself would interfere with its function.

Naked, she pulled the suit on and scowled at the leggings. It looked like she was about to engage in modern dance. That would have to be addressed later.

The trigger for the hood was on her wrist. She activated it, and there was a flash before her hair was plastered to her head. She turned her head and checked her range of movement. It seemed to be fine.

The suit left nothing to the imagination, but it would be covered as soon as she triggered her gift. It was getting easier. Weeks of practice rolling around and picking up the materials on the floor had made her suits of sand, dirt, flowers, and once, children’s cereal. She could pick up a layer and then acquire more layers as needed. Whatever her body was doing, it knew its stuff. If she needed protection, it was there, and if she needed concealment, it was there as well.

The belt that she had asked for might not be practical for all situations, but the mineral inside the small ampules that studded it were going to be just what she needed for this one night.

She whistled sharply, and Monarth came in. He stared, blinked, and looked at the wall to his left. “It is certainly snug.”

“That it is, but it has to be. I am going to test it out.”

Brneary walked over to her table and smiled at the stone and sand garden. It was about to be sacrificed.

She plunged her hand into the sand, and it shivered and flashed up and around in less than a second.

Monarth blinked, and he smiled. “It looks like you are wearing glitter.”

She looked down at the pale effect the sand was giving the black suit. “That is all the material I have in here. I don’t want to waste a chair.”

She focused again, and the sand moved up her body, across to her right arm and back into the container. She exhaled slowly. “That was a trick that took some practicing.”

“You can put things back?”

“I can. I have been working on it.
