Chapter 5 - 5 What Are Abilities?

"Something came up..." Ron answered.

"At least we have more time to dread going there."

Midas commented, whith a sarcastic tone.

"Not helping." Ron said.

Midas looked at Ron from of the corner of his right eye. "...Sorry." Midas said softly.

Ron, looked at the boy who plated his skull gold.

"We're gonna need to make you more human looking." Ron commented, turning to face the road right after, as he felt a glare from the gold skulled teen.

"Why, though?" Null asked before Midas could.

"Heavily enhanced humans have a different routines and bases set for them specifically, and they might replace your enhancements with worse ones. The best thing is for you to be in the same routine as Lil Olive, so I am allowed access to how your doing." Ron explained.

"But why don't you just check up on me separately?" Midas questioned.

"Meta and enhanced humans are two different paths for humanity, and I only have been given, the ability to access Meta-human bases."

Null quirked a brow a potential grin forming, "So your gonna make him more human than he is currently?"

"Yes." Ron answered not yet picking up the hidden malice in his nephew's voice.

Midas, turned his head as his eyes landed on the grinning boy.

"So his gonna be quite a bit weaker, after right?" Null asked.

"No"

....

....

Null's face lost its grin, as he slumped against the seat. He understood that he needed to rely on him, but he still wanted to pummel the guy.

"First we fix the damage he chose to place on his body, after that we'll be go look for an Ability for him." Ron said

Null glanced at his uncle from the corner of his eye.

It made sense, it's better to throw a kid with super powers rather than known, even though he was still keeping his enhancements, it didn't matter to him as long he got his own as well.

"After that we'll send you both too the military." Ron said.

"What!!?" Null jumped startled.

"What about me, are you really going to make me hang onto him like a life line?!", Null said turning to Midas, "I would rather sink than grab this golden domed, thing!"

Midas looked back seeing the obvious distaste that Olive had in his eyes. "You would be dead weight, i would let go of the life line and let you sink before you think." Midas said in a more calm yet dangerous tone.

Null grinned with a scoff feeling as if he had proven something to himself. Ron raised a brow, he was about to end this easily but this might be a needed moment, so he asked, "And why would you not rely on someone your already going to rely on, ain't it just pointless fighting?"

Null sat back against the seat, his body still tense. "He attempted to murder me, with the casualty of it being a Monday morning, and no apology or remorse yet he felt guilty as he says, yet he holds not care for me."

"Have you shown any care towards me?" Midas shot back, still looking forward on the road.

"No." Null answered.

"So why would I?" Midas asked.

"Because it would lessen the chance of me stabbing your back." Null answered

"A threat?, Olive did your parents not teach you manners? Wait i forgot your a stray, normally you don't have any." Midas said.

Null narrowed his eyes, as he chose to remain calm, as he spoke with venom slowly lacing his words.

"Yes i don't but I do wonder, where are yours?"

Midas, sat a bit stiffer than before, his shoulders rolling, violence being slowly sown into them.

Null's eyes caught this movement, it changed nothing. "You probably got the chance to know them right?" Null said, as he leaned forward rising a bit, as his face was next to Midas's. "Just before they threw you out, you Inner City Scum."

Clink*

The sound of his golden fist clenching tight, as he turned his waist, placed his knee on the seat, as his fist cut the air–!

"NOT A CHANCE IN MY CAR!!!!"

A golden reflection of Null's face stared at him. A grin evident, he layed back in the seat, fearing his uncle's anger, so did Midas as he sat down.

Ron, sighed as he looked at the road. 'Yep, it really was a bad a idea to place these guys in the same base.' he thought as he looked at Null from the rear view mirror and then Midas from the corner of his eye.

Letting out one more sigh he spoke,"Olive, you don't need a ability."

Null's body coiled and mind churned as he prepared to argue and retort.

"But you might have one from your parents." Ron said.

And Null stilled. He expected his uncle's next words to revolve around his wrong doings, keeping it over his head till he broke, did he really deserve that?!...

...Did he?

Null shook his head, finding things clink in place. "You want me to access one of their abilities don't you?" Null spoke as he looked up, his eyes wide.

"And what's the catch, since normally Meta don't go through it late bloomer situations." Midas interrupted, his head turned to the driver.

Null looked at Midas, he should of asked that first rather than looking at the Sunshine and rainbows.

Ron took a bit, as memories surfaced easily. Than he blinked and looked at the road a bit clearer minded.

Than he spoke, rather than answering he asked a question,"Do you know what abilities are?"

"This is philosophical question isn't it?" Null asked leaning a bit from the back seat.

Midas understood this too, since children are taught early that abilities are powers given by birth, yet there was one other way to obtain such abilities.

By Genetic Serums.

Abilities, normally called Meta Abilities, are supernatural capabilities and phenomenon that can be given at birth or given through ability replications, which are the serums.

The Meta-humans, humans with such abilities first appeared in the Planetary Wars. The first among them is known as the current Emperor of the Void Empire.

The Strongest Man.

Those who are born with these abilities, obtained them hereditarily. They can access one or both abilities, including the chance of a new ability being born. Normally these sort of children are born in

well off families, yet Olive proves other wise.

This was the category which Olive belonged too.

Then another path of Artificial Meta-Humans. This is the path were blood is extracted from a meta human, and the cell holding a extra touch of special atoms holding a Cognitron.

Which gives the cell the ability to covert energy in the body to Cogni-Energy. The energy used to power their Meta Abilities.

Cognitron, is something that rotates like a planetary ring around the atoms in the cell, rather than having a negative or positive force it has a multiplicative force. Though it is unique and a different depending on the ability, some found being similar due to the Abilities being a like.

So, they transfer a Cognitron from the blood cells atom, in one of the blood cells atoms belonging to the one who wants the same ability. It will mutate and transform the blood cell atoms around it.

Causing the host to have a new borne version of the ability which can be trained. This being the category himself, Midas will be apart of.

So with that information resurfacing in his thoughts Midas spoke,"Supernatural capabilities accessed to genes and Serums."

"No, that's the surface level." Ron said after shacking his head.

Null invested, asked directly, "Then, what are Abilities?"
