(NSFW) Tetsuko and the HyperBells

Ever since her transformation, one of Tetsuko's biggest complaints is that she's already so strong that she can't find ways to properly weight-train. She's always loved challenging the limits of her strength, but as she's wont to say, "when you can lift the entire poundage of a gym all at once, it's hard to challenge your muscles!"

She made a joking comment to Sonya not long ago, "It'd be great if you could invent something that I could use to work out with, that could somehow be heavier than normal dumbbells." But Dr. Gannon, who loves challenging her mind as much as Tetsuko loves challenging her body, took Tetsuko's suggestion seriously. And several weeks later, she presented her friend with her newest invention: the HyperBells.

"Each chamber is able to generate its own gravitational field, locally multiplying it exponentially, so that you can dial in whatever poundage - or tonnage, as appropriate - that you desire, and it'll feel like you're actually lifting that much weight."

So here we see Tetsuko in her bedroom, working out with the HyperBells set to 45 tons each - "just heavy enough to get a good pump."

(The idea of workout equipment that can manipulate gravitational fields to create fantastically heavy weight isn't original with me. I've already seen it used in a couple of illustrations by other artists. But i still wanted to try my hand at it.)

I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to "canonize" the HyperBells by putting them in the regular continuity. I'd have to think through the larger ramifications of such an invention, to see if they make good story fodder, or if they create bigger problems the I'm able to write.

Anyway... here's the download link:
