The Tiger Lady Reveled

The following day, I went to my normal routine. I went down to my shop and started tinkering.

I noticed that not too many people were around. Seems I was being given a wide berth. No one wanted to be to close to me. Bill did say hi and hoped I was feeling better. He did try to make some small talk, but the conversation went to the deaths. He was one of the few people there who could read my mind and I let him this time.

"Look, Joe, we are all here to help. Now you understand the reason for this Village. Imagine what you might have done out in the real world. And by the way, you are not the first who hurt someone here."

"Really, what happened?"

"Two years ago, I lost control. But I just broke bones and a few concussions. I don't have enough power to rip people apart. Please understand, we here are blunt. I find that its better to be open than dance around the subject. You have to remember, you are here to learn to control this gift. You will learn. If not, then, you can stay here and do other useful things."

"You mean that I could be with the normal people again?"

"Yes, several have made it back to the normal world."

I never thought about it. I was happy here until yesterday.

"You will get over that. It wasn't your fault. They had to provoke you to see what you got inside you. And Boy, you got a lot. I don't think we will ever know just how powerful that mind of yours is. So, Help them, OK?"

"Well, OK, I will try. What are they going to do?"

"They hypnotized me and did a past regression. I learned why I am the way I am and how my gift was given a personality. Maybe you will learn how you got yours?"

"Do they mess with your head and give you suggestions?"

"They tried. But, we have better control of our sub-conscious minds. We know when we have been told to do something. They know it too. They will not mess with you."

"I am glad. I like to be in control of myself."

"Just relax and let things flow. You will know more as it happens."

"Thanks Bill".

Then he was gone. They didn't come for me till I had my first cup of coffee. I needed to be alert. They were very careful.

"Joe, will you please come with us?"

"Sure. Is the testing to begin?"

"Yes, this isn't anything to be worried about."

"OK, Guys, Trust me, I didn't want to hurt anyone yesterday."

"We know. It just turned out to be more than we could control. We thought you would just disable the guys. Not take them out."

I didn't even know it was happening.

"We know. Have a seat and relax. The doctors will be here in a minute."

This room was another steel room. They were not taking any chances with me again. I saw the cameras and saw the mind that was looking at the monitor. I had an inspiration. I looked into the mind that was there and saw the surrounding in that room. Just as the guy was thinking he wanted more coffee, I picked up the cup and floated it beside him. He took the handle and then realized what had just happened. He put the cup down and panicked. He was freaking out. He had to be replaced by another person. A doctor soon came in the room.

"Joe, please don't panic the help. You know we are observing you. You are making the staff here extremely nervous. We have no Idea just how powerful you are and you keep surprising us. Yes, experiment, but please, not with the staff."

"Sorry, I saw the camera and sensed the mind watching me. I just wanted to see what I could do."

"Do you know where He is?"

"I didn't ask his mind where he was."

"He is in a bunker 20 miles away."

"What?"

"20 miles away."

"Shit."

"Please be careful."

"No wonder he freaked out. He thought he was immune to any affects. "

"We will have trouble getting people to work with you at this rate."

"Gee Doc, give me a break, I didn't really ask to be here, you know."

"Yes, I understand. Just please be careful."

"Hey Doc, I was...."

"OK, well, lets get started."

He knew I had just read him like a book. I knew what he wanted and just did it.

"You have to learn to read minds only on permission."

"Doc, you were thinking about me. That gives me permission."

"Very well. We need to hypnotize you. We might need a drug to do this. This needs to be a deep subconscious scan. "

"OK, do your thing."

"Take this and here is a cup of coffee."

The pill was a fake. The coffee was the drug. I didn't mind. The scan of the doctors mind told me this. And he was aware That I knew.

I was a very difficult subject to work with as it was impossible to hide anything from me. These guys had to approach me from a completely different direction.

I relaxed. I felt the drug hit my system. I wasn't asleep. But, I was so relaxed that I was just to sleeping.

Then the doctor started talking to me in a monotone voice. He was good at this.

"Joe, do you know where you are?"

"Yes."

"Do you understand that we only want to help you understand?"

"Yes."

"Unlock your unconscious mind and let us talk to your subconscious mind."

"I don't know..............Afraid to unlock door...."

"Joe, we don't want to change or do anything. We just want to talk."

"OK, I will try...."

Strange things started happening in the room. All of this was being taped. No one wanted to be near a monitor so that my mind would sense them. Only the doctor was in the room witnessing what was happening.

My body changed. I am normally 5'9. I grew to 6' and I changed sex. The conversion only took less than a minute. I became a tall amazon with all the right curves. I became much more muscular than my male self. This shocked the doctor. He didn't want to spook the person in the chair. He remained calm, but he was looking into the very eyes of death. And he knew it.

"What do you want?"

"Just to talk to you."

"I wish to be left alone."

"You killed 2 of our orderly's."

"They got in the way. I was fighting 2 evil men and I didn't know who the others were. So I killed them too. I didn't have time to read their minds."

"I am not here to hurt you."

"I know. I can read your mind. I want to know who "Joe" is."

"He is the significant being in which you live. He has gifts just like you, but he is not willing to kill as easily as you."

"You speak truth. I like. Very good doctor. I know nothing of this world. I am new here. Why this place?"

"We didn't know how you would react. What is that thing you used to kill the evil men?"

"That is my KAT. He is my friend and protector."

"Can we see him?"

"If you don't wish to die, be very careful. Make no sudden movements. You may touch him, but move slowly."

Then in the room appeared the largest Tiger the doctor had ever seen. It had to be 600 lb. The shoulders of this cat was even with the eyes of the doctor. The head was taller and huge. The fangs looked like a sabertooth. Then they all realized it was a sabertooth. An extinct ancient cat. This species had not existed for centuries.

"What do you call your friend."

"He has no name. Maybe just Kat. I just call for help and he appears."

"Do you pet him?"

"He is not a pet. He is my protector. But he is also my friend. So I rub him in affection. We are partners."

The doctor walked slowly up to the cat who rumbled a growl. The doctor fearlessly took an outstretched hand and slowly rubbed the head of the cat. He had to reach up and look into the eyes of the most fearsome beast on the planet. I later think the Doc was on some kind of drug. Any normal man would have shit in his pants.

"What do you want to know?"

"We want to know where you came from."

"I don't know. We just existed."

"How long can you remember?"

"I remember the attack of the evil men. Not much more."

"You must remember that we are not here to hurt you."

"I know what you want. I am not sure I completely trust you."

"I understand. Do you want to meet your significant self?"

"I don't know. Is he a good person?"

"We think so. He has powers."

"What kind of powers?"

"He can read minds and move things."

"Can he pick people up?"

"Yes."

"I think I would like to meet him."

"Please concentrate. Look into your own mind and find Joe. He is there waiting for you. He is a good person. He would not hurt you. After all, he is you. And you are him. You both share gifts and abilities. You are the same person!"

About this time, the tiger and the lady disappeared. Joe only remained. I was asleep. Deep sleep. What was happening only I knew. I was talking to the lady. I had been joined. Was it this easy? There were problems. The tiger lady didn't like my body. She wanted to be the dominant. I told her that I would share. But that we both had to be present at all times. No one would take control. We both had to have our time in the world. We could not monopolize our time. We would be together in the same body all the time. The lady was the Amazon. A warrior. A person of action. She would have to learn the ways of this world.

I finally woke up and looked around. The doctor was still in the room.

"Joe?"

"I am here Doc."

"You OK?"

"Yes, but I am not sure what is going on here."

"What do you mean?"

"Doc, I am the Lady."

"You know?"

"Yes. I have been talking to her. We have an agreement."

"You want to tell me what it is."

"Not right now. We are still sorting all this out. This will take some time. Doc, I will need some women's clothing. I must share the body time with our lady."

"Does she have a name?"

"Not yet. I just call her the Tiger Lady right now. You Know that she will need some clothing. After all, she cannot run around her in my clothing."

"OK, we will need some fitting measurements."

"OK."

Right in front of the doctor, suddenly, there was the tiger lady. Same speech pattern but the body of the Amazon.

"OK, Doc, take your measurements."

"Joe?"

"Doc, its both of us. She prefers for me to do the talking for both of us."

"Joe, its going to be a bit awkward for me to call you that in that body."

"Doc, I don't care. We know what you mean. She is learning. She is reading my mind like a book and teaching herself about this world".

"Lets go and get those measurements."

You have no idea how the staff and population reacted to the Tiger lady. Fear? More like curiosity.

We walked down the hall way with the female body and my clothing. I now am 6' tall with very dark brown hair almost to my butt. Features that stood out even if I was wearing a bag. The breasts were not overly large, but big enough to get in the way. I walked completely different. My gate was cat like. I was stirring up the hormones of every male that saw me. I knew this instantly. They were thinking about me.

We went into a little room. It was an examining room. The doctor who attended me never left me. The nurse slowly approached and showed me the tape.

"We are going to measure you. So don't be alarmed."

I understood their caution.

The measurements went like this: 36-d 26 waist 37 hips 6' tall A size 14-16.

They could provide clothing for me.

My male body was close. My male waist was a bit larger than the female, but, stretch clothing would allow for the changes. So, if I did a conversion, I would have very little trouble changing. The clothing would be flexible enough to handle it.

I decided to be nice to the Tiger lady and stay in her form for the rest of the day. It was also so that the residents could meet my alter ego.

The first reaction was fear. I had to tell everyone that it was OK. I would not hurt them. I had control of the Kat. They breathed a sigh of relief.

Bill came up. "Joe?"

"Yes it is me."

"This is going to take some getting used to."

"I know just how you feel."

"You going to stay like that all the time?"

"No, I need to be my normal self too. We will see later if we want to pick a body permanently."

"I could get used to this.."

"Remember, I can read your thoughts."

"Sorry, I can't help it. That body is fantastic."

All of a sudden, Bill was looking up into the eyes of the Kat.

"Jesus H. Christ."

"He is my protector. He felt a warning was necessary. He won't hurt you. I will make sure of that." Then Bill fully understood.

"You got my respect."

"Sorry, he shows up when he thinks He needs to."

Kat just sat in the corner and just looked at everyone.

When the ladies came back in to give me some clothing, they noticed the Kat and nervously asked what it was doing here.

"It just decided to show up."

I reassured them.

"It will not hurt any of you. It understands that you are here to help me. So don't worry. Its just watching everything."

The nurses ran all the men out of the room.

They took my clothing and gave me a bra. I had never worn one before, so, they had to help me. Then the panties. Both were cotton.

"Did you want nylons?"

"Gee, I don't know, I don't think I need them here in the village. Maybe later."

They gave me a leather skirt that went just above my knees and a white shirt and a leather vest. I liked the selection of the leather. It felt right. They gave me a pair of 3" heel boots that went to my knees. I loved them. I now stood 6'3". It was great. Then, they wanted to know about makeup. I didn't feel right about that just yet. I would wait about that.

I looked in the mirror. I was awesome. I had that wild look. That dangerous look.

The doctor came back.

He stuttered. "I..I..I Wan..Wanted to do some Mo..More tests." wbw "Sure. What do you need to do?"

"We wanted to see if you could still do everything your male body could do."

"Let me see, what would be a good test. I picked him up off the ground and spun him around. Then I set him down."

"UH, was that necessary?"

"You wanted a test."

"I had something more subtle in mind."

"OK, what you want?"

"Can you sense the mind of ..."

"I know he is there. Tell him to look at his coffee cup. I picked up the cup and put it in his hand and warmed it for him."

A phone rang. The doctor picked it up.

"I will tell her. He said thanks for warming up the coffee."

"Sure."

"Yes, you haven't lost any of your abilities. We just don't know how to respond to someone of your abilities."

"For the record, I don't know either......."
