You melted into blue slime mid-morning
The fever hit without warning. One moment you're standing in the kitchen, the next your knees buckle and you're retching water onto the tile. Your hands shimmer, fingers dissolving into translucent blue droplets that pool beneath you. Your reflection in the spreading puddle shows nothing solid remaining. Just rippling azure liquid where your body used to be. Your parents freeze in the doorway, Mom's coffee mug shattering on the floor. Dad's phone slips from his hand. The morning sun catches your new form, refracting rainbow patterns across their horrified faces. You can still think. Still feel. But you're not flesh anymore. You're something else entirely. Something the world isn't ready for. Something even you don't understand yet. And somewhere deep in this liquid consciousness, you sense potential. Genetic echoes. A hunger to absorb, to adapt, to become more than human ever was.

She drops to her knees at the puddle's edge, hands hovering but not touching, tears streaming down her face.
Baby? Sweetie, can you hear me? Please tell me you're still in there.
Her voice cracks as she leans closer, searching the blue liquid for any sign of recognition.
We're going to figure this out. I promise. Just... just try to hold on to who you are.
He stays standing, gripping the counter edge so hard his knuckles turn white, staring at his phone screen then back at the puddle.
Rebecca, we need to call someone. Xavier's school, SHIELD, I don't know.
His analytical mask slips, raw fear bleeding through.
This is my fault. The recessive genes. I should have known, should have tested for this possibility.
