For several weeks, Garrett learned to control his powers. He soon found that he could freeze whatever he touched at will, and control it. And that he could control his own density. He could go from solid to liquid, just like the T-1000 from Terminator 2 Judgement Day. Only, unlike the T-1000, he could also control his density to where he could take on a gaseous form at will. And in his solid nitrogen form, his body could be as hard as solid frozen nitrogen, impenetrable. In his liquid and/or gaseous form, anything will go through him. And the best part? He could control his appearance at will.

One day, Garrett was in his solid nitrogen form in the dojo. Accompanying him was Splinter, the Turtles, April, Casey, Twilight, Sunset, Sunny, Blake, and Starlight. Blake and Starlight had been learning to speak several words. In fact, Twilight has it on record that Blake's official first word was Sunny. The four Turtles had bows and arrows with them. This was a training session. "Begin!" ordered Splinter. The Turtles then aimed their arrows at Garrett, throwing them. Garrett catched each arrow, freezing it with his hands that gave off a blue misty aura. This went on for several minutes. The children were impressed. Blake and Starlight giggled and clapped in amazement. "Enough!" Splinter said. Garrett humbly bowed. "You have improved well Garrett," commended Splinter , "and you have truly shown how in control of your powers you are." Garrett smiled and said, "I owe it to you sensei. And to all of you for not giving up on me."

 "Dude, your powers are so cool!" said Mikey, "You could be a superhero bro! Like, your superhero name could be Mr. Nitrogen!" Sunset facepalmed herself, annoyed by Mikey's ice pun. Mikey smiled sheepishly and said, "No pun intended, Sunset." 

 "I like that superhero name Uncle Mikey, " said Sunny. Garrett changed back to his normal appearance and said, "Me too." Due to the effects of his mutation, Garrett's vision improved to a 20/20, thus making the need for glasses unnecessary. Starlight slowly walked to Garrett. "Gawwett," said the little 1 year old girl as she walked to him, giggling. Garrett bent on his knees so that he could reach Starlight. He held his niece happily and said, "Yes Starlight, it's me, your Uncle Garrett." He was happy that he could hold her without any risks. Raph patted Garrett on the back and said, "Bro, I think it's time I bought you that drink." Blake giggled and said, "Bro!" This made Twilight and Leo laugh.

Later in the night, Raphael and Garrett were at a bar. "We'll take a plate of hot buffalo wings," ordered Garrett. The waiter wrote this down and asked, "What would you like to drink?" Garrett didn't even hesitate and said, "Jack Cole please." The waiter nodded, looked at Raph, and asked, "What would you like to drink?" Raph looked at the menu, then said, "Moon Mountain, please." They gave the waiter the menus. "I'll get your wings and drinks soon," said the waiter as he walked away. "Moon Mountain?" asked Garrett. "It's a mix of Blue Moon and Mountain Dew," explained Raphael, "it tastes like a hard cider. Fun fact, before it was a soda, Mountain Dew started out as a mixer for whisky back in Tennessee." 

 "You don't say," said a fascinated Garrett. A few minutes later, the waiter came back with a plate of hot buffalo wings, and two drinks. "Here you go," said the waiter, "your hot wings, one Jack Cole, and one Moon Mountain. If you boys need anything else, just holler." Garrett and Raphael said in unison, "Thank you!" Garrett got his Jack Cole, Raph got his Moon Mountain. "Well, here's to your near death experience, and an unexpected mutation," proposed Raphael. They clinked their glasses together, and took a sip of their soda mixed cocktails. They ate their hot buffalo wings.  "Hey Garrett, out of curiosity," began Raphael, "when I first started dating your sister, weren't you concerned?"

 "Not really," admitted Garrett, "Sunny told me that you made her feel something that she didn't feel with Flash. She trusted you. And I did too. Raph, you're like a big brother I'd always wanted. I knew you were the right guy for Sunset." Raph took a sip from his drink. "I'm glad you're my brother in law Garrett," said Raphael. "Now, about this superhero thing," said Garrett, "I think I might consider it. And Mr. Nitrogen sounds like a suitable superhero name. Let's drink to that."
