102. Mutation
Batske Mansion, Sean's residence.
Reed, who was full of anxiety, sat on the sofa and took the coffee brought by Mindy, and in front of outsiders, this little Lori who was full of violent tendencies still maintained a very well-behaved and cute image.
"I'm going to do my homework." Little Lori has a soft voice and trots back to the room in a dress princess dress.
"Your cousin is so sensible, it's rare for a child of this age not to be noisy or noisy." Reid took a sip of coffee, and his inner agitation gradually stabilized.
Sean smiled at this compliment, only those who have really seen Mindy's nature will know how much of a headache this seemingly cute little Lori is. Almost every week, he received a tearful complaint from the dean of students, but with his generous educational support, the school chose to turn a blind eye.
"I didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital so soon." Sean looked at Reed who was running in a hurry, and he already knew the other party's intention in his heart.
Presumably, at this time, Reed and his party had already discovered their anomaly, exposed to the energy storm of outer space, and suffered from the invasion of high-energy particle streams, which did not have no effect on them.
"Sean, uh, have you had a ...... lately Just feel uncomfortable? Reed asked hesitantly, like a lame doctor.
He was really embarrassed to open his mouth, remembering the promise he had sworn before, but now this kind of unexpected accident had happened, because of his own miscalculation, which caused the space station to be destroyed by the energy storm, and also caused his companion's body to react abnormally.
"Nope." Sean shook his head. "I asked the Red Queen to have a medical test for her whole body, there was no excessive radiation in her blood, and her vital signs were all normal."
"Actually, I would have woken up overnight and suddenly become a powerful superhero......" he looked deeply into Reed's eyes, and said with a smile on his lips.
Facing Sean's deep gaze, Reed couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he remembered Ben who had become like a stone man, and decided to speak frankly: "The energy storm in space has completely changed my genes with Susan, Johnny and Ben, and we have gained unusual abilities because of this, but this may also threaten our lives......"
"So you want to ask me if I'm like you?" Sean smiled and turned on the TV.
The TV news reported a car crash on the Brooklyn Bridge, a runaway truck caused dozens of cars to rear-end each other, and at the same time there was a shocking explosion that caused the arriving fire truck to almost crash into the river, an unprecedented car crash that almost caused hundreds of casualties - if not for the help of the Fantastic Four!
"Congratulations on becoming another group of superheroes after Tony Stark to officially appear in public." Sean had a joke in his eyes, and he quipped, "Now the whole of New York knows that you exist, and they call you the Fantastic Four, a cool title." ”
Seeing that Sean already knew everything, Reed couldn't help but bow his head in frustration, this was one of the few failures in his life, and the last time was because Susan left him.
"It's terrible!" Reed had a troubled look on his face, he didn't think it was cool to have superpowers like Johnny, especially when he saw Ben's drastic change, he felt guilty in his heart.
"The human body is genetically altered, which can lead to some unpredictable and even life-threatening changes in the body! Only Johnny would think it's worth showing off! ”
Sean pouted, he didn't agree with Reed, this future Mr. Wonder is always full of hesitation before doing things, when he takes the first step, he will think about the next hundred steps in advance, which will certainly reduce the chance of making mistakes and ensure the chance of success, but at the same time he will miss a lot of things.
Susan, for example, is a clear example of this. Even Victor Doom is much stronger than Reed, and when he learns that he has extraordinary abilities, the first thing he thinks about is how to make himself stronger, rather than rejecting this God-given power.
If it weren't for being carried away by power, being too arrogant and arrogant, and having a tragic fate as a villain, he might not be able to be victorious by the Fantastic Four in the end.
"You're resisting the changes your body makes, Reed?" Sean's eyes flickered, "Have you thought of a solution?" This is not some incurable disease, and with your wisdom, it should not be difficult to solve. ”
"I want to build a machine that creates an energy storm with a stream of high-energy particles, and a reversal test that, if successful, might get us back to normal."
Reed, worthy of his name as a genius, thought of a solution in a short time, but there was still hesitation between his eyebrows, and it was clear that this method was not perfect enough.
"It's a great idea, but it's also very risky, and the slightest miscalculation can cause your symptoms to grow exponentially, and even be life-threatening."
Sean saw the risks of this plan, and the kind of accident that Reed encountered was almost impossible to replicate, otherwise it would be tantamount to a method of mass-producing superpowers. The amount of time spent in the energy storm, as well as the impact of various rays, can make a huge difference in the final result.
For example, the Fantastic Four, they are also in a similar environment, but they have completely different abilities, and Ben even has a drastic change in appearance, and his flesh and blood have turned into hard and heavy stones.
"Maybe I can help." Sean offered to bring it up, and he was interested in superpowers other than mutants, which might be a good research topic.
"Your genetic structure has changed, and there may be a hidden key to evolution. Reed, I think you should be calm, it's not a bad thing, you're not mutants, you're being discriminated against and ostracized by people — New Yorkers are treating you like stars! ”
Hearing Sean's comfort, Reed breathed a sigh of relief, the depression and anxiety he had been suffering from for many days had made him suffer and suffer, on the one hand, the heavy blow of the failed experiment, and on the other hand, the guilt and pain of hurting his friends.
"You need to cheer up, at least Ben needs your help!"
Sending away Reed, who had somewhat regained some of the brightness in his eyes, Sean looked deeply, maybe a small calculation error could make the energy storm take the life of the tester, but for him with Skynet, as long as he can grasp the slight changes in time and maintain accurate judgment, it may not be impossible to replicate successfully.
"Hmph, what bad idea do you have again!"
Sean, who was thinking about how to benefit from it, was interrupted by Minty, and little Lori clasped her hands on her chest, looking like a little adult.
"I was obviously thinking about how I could help Dr. Richards." Sean coughed twice, with a sincere expression on his face.
"Cut, I don't believe you." Mindy turned his head and debunked, "You said last time that a science and engineering house like him is the best to deceive." ”
Sean carried the little Lori who knew too much, the former super killer girl had a tendency to evolve into an otaku girl, and bought a bunch of games and snacks with pocket money, which made him think it was necessary to have a kind and friendly ideological education for Mindy.
"A game like God of War is too bloody for children and confiscated! GTA5? Violent and vulgar! I'll put it away for you...... Hey, and "The Witcher", this is not suitable for children, I will keep it for you first, and then play it when you grow up! By the way, eat less snacks, I took this little thing! ”
Sean wandered around Mindy's room, conducted a carpet search, and finally achieved great results, so angry that little Lori was next to her, eager to take back her beloved collection.
"I'm doing this for your good, you should be more restrained when you are young, eat less ice cream and cola in the future, exercise and run more, and keep in shape."
For Mindy's resistance, Sean suppressed it with one hand, and he walked away with a pile of loot, thinking that he had a long way to go for the task of educating and reforming violent Lori......
