[Melina POV]
So all she had to do was inject me with the serum.
I feel like my body is changing.
Is it done? It didn't take long, let alone a minute.
"How do you feel?"
Well, I don't know what should I tell him.
"I feel lighter and more healthy. I don't know how to describe it. I feel rejuvenated."
"Well, the injection induces a systemic integration with your existing cellular structure. Given that residual effects from prior experimental interventions remain embedded within your physiology, the serum functions primarily as a stabilizing agent, effectively consolidating and harmonizing those alterations into a unified state. This is why you're experiencing the sensations you described."
So that explains it.
[A/N: She can understand him because she has a PhD in biology or something.]
"So you're saying she's been experimented on before, and you needed the serum to stabilise those experiments."
Wait, she doesn't know about me. I thought she's his subordinate or something to him.
Who is she to him?
"No. I didn't know the serum could do that. I just wanted to upgrade the serum."
Wait, what does he mean "upgrade the serum"?
"So you knew about her previous experiments before you asked me to inject her with the GS?"
"Yes. Oh, that's a nice name."
"What would've happened if something went wrong?"
"At most she would've been in a coma or something close to it, but nothing would've gone wrong."
"Excuse me."
I better ask to make sure.
"What do you mean when you said you wanted to upgrade the serum?"
"Oh that, the serum you were injected with does not regenerate or restore a missing organ. So yeah, you're still going to be injected with another serum after the upgrade."
What! Does it have side effects or not? He's not telling me everything, but everything I want to know.
"Wait, what do you mean a missing organ? Does she have a missing organ?"
So she knows nothing.
"Yeah, she doesn't have a uterus. So I'm trying to restore it."
"What? Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not something to make conversation with. Besides, there's nothing to say except informing you about it. The rest you can ask her."
He does have a point. You can't make conversation with that. It's not even him missing it.
"I'm about to go and try something."
And there he goes.
"So, how did you meet him?"
Seriously, she's asking that.
[Felix POV]
The GS worked.
The GS enhanced the body but didn't regenerate the organ. What if I double the dose? Can it regenerate the organ?
«No sir, it won't regenerate it, but it'll kill or immobilize the individual.»
"Okay, I understand that. What if I use Terrigen crystals to upgrade the serum, would it be able to regenerate it?"
«No sir, because the crystals are rubbish. They were already used and thrown away. Those guys sold you garbage, sir. I don't know about the real Terrigen crystals.»
"What if I use Netharanium? Can it upgrade the serum?"
«I don't know, sir, because the mineral came from the same individual with Promethium. From a "demon."»
"So you say the same demon came with the material from the same dimension or hell?"
«No, I say the same "demon" came with the material because the material doesn't have the same energy as Promethium.»
"Okay. Why are you emphasising the word "demon"?"
«Because the individual is not a demon per se. They're more like early developments of humans.»
"You mean Homo sapiens?"
«I mean Neanderthal, but you could say Homo sapiens, but they're not.»
"Okay. Forget about history, let's focus on the task."
Maybe I should use the lizard experiment, but I might end up creating the lizard serum by mistake.
How about I use Cavorite? I mean, it can channel and amplify the GS serum.
I don't have a lot of Cavorite, but just rejects from NASA since they abandoned the project after the fiasco of Carol Danvers.
How the hell did they get a material made by NASA?
Doesn't matter how, but I gotta use it.
I combined the GS with Cavorite's properties and not the entire Cavorite material.
"Simulate the serum with the subject."
SPACE simulated the serum with a hologram.
«Sir, it is a success.»
I managed to create one dose but saved the progress of it to create some later.
I went back to the headquarters (hologram).
I was surprised to see Melina and Priscilla laughing.
What the hell is going on?
[Priscilla POV]
"So, how did you meet him?"
I better start a conversation since it's only us in the room.
"I came to apply for a job, and that's how I met him."
She's Russian. How could a Russian apply for an unknown job out of nowhere?
Wait, unless she is a cop working for the FBI or CIA.
"So, how is he so far?"
"Pain in the ass."
That's one way to describe him.
"How did you meet him?"
"That's a good question. I didn't meet him, he met me."
I mean, that's how it went.
"I was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease since birth, and I was weeks away from death. Then here comes a boy out of nowhere eating my lunch."
"He ate your lunch?"
"Yeah, I was at work, and it was lunch time. I was eating my lunch with my friend, and he just sat at our table saying weird stuff."
"Ain't that a surprise?"
"He said some stuff and injected me with the serum. My disease was cured afterwards. He bought me a house away from where I used to live. Yeah, that's how it went."
There's nothing more than that.
"He's an irritating bastard who thinks he knows everything."
He does think he knows everything, and he ain't wrong.
"Well, he ain't wrong, right?"
"Yeah."
I laughed after Melina said that, and after a moment, Felix returned.
[Felix POV]
"Okay guys, I finished with the serum."
Looks like they were having a conversation after I was gone.
Better call DRIVE to pick up the serum.
"I'm going to call DRIVE to deliver the serum, or we can do the test tomorrow."
"Who's Drive?"
It's only right that Melina doesn't know.
"It's his talking car."
Well, DRIVE does talk.
"His car talks. The black car you came with."
"Yeah, it fetches me from my home."
Looks like they're going to talk with each other if I don't stop them.
"Okay guys, we can do this tomorrow since it's already late, or we can still do this. What's your pick?"
They chose to continue tomorrow.
I wrapped up the training, and everyone went home. Priscilla booked a nearby motel.
