Bernadette (ignoring Adam’s discouragement) wiggles her left hand, to give the rod a shake, a jerk and a yank. It reacts – expanding to grow first four times its length, then sideways in width with row-after-row of small metal plates. A second later, the rod is now a 4-foot wing-shaped plate in her hand.

While he just stares in disbelief, Bernadette repeats the process with the other rod to create a complimentary second winged item. She rests the pair against the saw-horse, then looks over at Adam with a wide wild grin. He shakes his head at her.
