Chapter 50: Chapter 50 - Running Some Tests

They made their way over to the elevator, all four of them, and upon entering, Phil pressed a button that revealed an entirely new pad.

Scanning his finger on the pad, a screen appeared that allowed him to select more floors, from which he picked floor B2, and the elevator began to move down.

It went down all the way back down to the base floor, then began going down further, down two floors in total.

From what Lily could assume, they were now underground, on basement floor two.

"Here we are."

Phil said as the door opened, revealing another hallway; this time, it was completely white and lined with many cameras.

They walked down the hallway for a while, passing a few doors along the way until they eventually came across a door labeled 'Lab #4' at the top.

Entering the door, they were met by a large white and grey room that seemed much like a waiting room, with desks, chairs, and much more. It also possessed screens that showed what looked like multiple other rooms, each filled with different machines and devices.

Upon entering the room, a man in a lab coat, or what looked like it, greeted them.

"Sir, we have everything ready."

He said as he approached Phil.

Phil nodded at him and then spoke to Lily, introducing the man.

"This nice man is a doctor that works here; he, along with some of his colleagues, will be the ones that will run some tests on you, ok? Don't worry; your parents and I will be here waiting."

Lily nodded and followed the man into one of the rooms, showing a little bit of hesitation to go along with her act.

Walking into the room, she could see multiple other doctors in it, along with what looked like a large X-Ray machine, one that was used to do full body scans on people.

"Please change into these; it will make things much easier."

Explained a female doctor that approached her, handing her a gown commonly worn in hospitals.

Lily took it from the lady, and she quickly got changed after being shown to a dressing room to the side.

While changing, she made sure to temporarily alter her body to look as human as she possibly could, aside from her multiple hearts, which were already exposed.

She also temporarily made it so some of the X-Genes she had gotten were put into a dormant state, rendering them inactive until she once again activated them.

This was easy since they were adapted to fit her body and her needs; turning something on and off within her body was something that was naturally a needed feature.

Once she was finished changing, she returned to the room with the other doctors, who then directed her to sit on the machine's tray.

"Before we begin, we just need a few samples from you, blood, hair, and saliva."

The lady explained what they needed to do while her co-workers took out what they needed to do it, and Lily simply nodded.

She didn't mind them doing this because her current D.N.A. wasn't her natural one; it was the one she altered to fit her needs.

And even if they somehow got her current D.N.A., it would die outside of her body if she so ordered it to, as it was nothing but an extension of herself, and she had complete control over herself.

Not to mention, her D.N.A. was constantly changing with how much her body could adapt and grow, so it wouldn't stay the same.

They began with the blood test; however, as they attempted to inject her with the needle, the needle bent as it could not penetrate her durable skin.

This was due to the first ability she planned to reveal, her superhuman mutation.

It would be the hardest mutation to hide, and it was also the most beneficial mutation to reveal, as it showed her body was capable of taking on tasks that no ordinary girl her age would.

Which increased the likelihood that she would be of use to S.H.I.E.L.D. and thus made it more likely she would have an easier time gaining the access she wanted.

"Um."

She said as she looked at the doctor's stunned and confused face.

Snapping out of it quickly, the doctor placed the needle down and moved away, speaking to his co-worker.

Lily could hear him telling them to go on and take her other samples, saliva, and hair while he went and told Phil about the situation.

After he left the room, the other doctors did just that. Taking a sample of her saliva using a swab tool, and a strand of her hair, that was rather hard to cut off.

While this was happening, however, Lily focused on what was being said outside the door, which she could hear thanks to her improved senses.

"Sir, I have a situation to report."

The doctor said as he approached Phil, not outright speaking the report as the other two Agents were still outside.

They had all been watching the screens to see what was happening within the room, but the angle of the cameras didn't grant them the ability to see the precise bending of the needle.

"Go ahead."

Phil replied, giving the man the ok to speak about it in front of the others.

"Sir, the needle that we were using to attempt to draw blood was unable to pierce her skin. Her skin is very tough, much tougher than that of a normal person."

Phil was somewhat surprised, but it wasn't outside the realm of possibility since he was already aware that she might be a mutant. He, however, didn't expect her mutation to take the form of physical capabilities.

"How much tougher is it?"

"We aren't sure, Sir. We can only be sure if we run some more tests. Should we?"

Phil thought for a few seconds before shaking his head, replying to the man.

"No, we should talk to her first. Processed with the normal check-up for now. Do you have any other way to draw blood?"

The doctor nodded and replied.

"Yes, Sir, we have needles that are capable of piercing the skin of even super soldiers."

"Good, then use that."

The doctor finished speaking and returned to the room after ordering someone to bring the needed needles.

The process of collecting the other samples had been completed, and they finished the blood sample shortly after.

Now all that was left was a few other things.

Chapter 50, yay.

Also, I have fun reading the comments, so be sure to comment on anything you find interesting about the chapters. Your ideas are also very interesting to come across and help me come up with ideas of my own since I'm not completely aware of everything in Marvel.

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 - Testing Physical Capabilities

The rest of the tests went by rather quickly.

X-rays to check out her bones and organs, where they were able to see the odd extra body parts she had.

Such as the seven extra small hearts she had that were placed throughout her body, all acting as their own version of her main heart and pumping blood.

They were something that came with her race, and currently, she couldn't change them even if she wanted to.

They also noticed the lack of Kidneys in her body.

This was due to the fact that her body didn't need Kidneys; everything was absorbed to form mass, and as such, her body produced no waste.

M.R.I.s were they scanned not only her brain but other parts of her body.

During the M.R.I., they could pick up on the second ability she wanted them to find.

Her cellular radiation generation.

They noticed that her body was actively absorbing the little bit of radiation that the machines gave off and storing them in her cells. Which granted her a certain level of immunity to them.

This was the exact reason she showed the skill to them, to begin with.

She wanted them to understand that she had a certain level of resistance and adaptability when it came to radiation because various important things and plans of S.H.I.E.L.D. had to do with radiation.

One she was especially invested in was Hulk.

After the testing was finished, they led her out of the room after allowing her to change and returned to the waiting room where the others were.

The doctor gave Phil the report he had written about all the things they found, and as Phil was reading through it, Lily could see the subtle changes on his face.

Curiosity, surprise, and maybe even ideas took shape right before her in his mind.

She didn't use her mind-reading because she was wary of trying to invade the mind of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, especially one as highly ranked as Phil, mainly because she didn't know what technology or mutants they had under them.

"Lily, it says here that your body is very healthy and much stronger than that of a normal human. Did you know that?"

Asked Phil as he finished reading through the papers, putting the report aside for now.

Lily shook her head, pretending to have been unaware of her difference in capabilities from a normal human.

"No, is that a bad thing?"

"Not at all; in fact, it's a very good thing. But aren't you curious about how much stronger you are?"

Phil replied with a smile on his face.

Lily could tell what he was planning immediately; he wanted her to willingly accept testing to see her physical limitations.

But she also wanted them to see the physical limitations she was willing to show them, so she agreed.

"Yes, if that helps."

"Great then, why don't you come with me to a special area, there you can test your strength all you want."

Lily was about to nod and follow along, but her adoptive father spoke before she could.

"Sir, is that wise? She's still rather young."

It seemed he was worried. He may look quite stoic a lot of the time, but he could actually be a lot more caring than her adoptive mother when it comes down to it.

He just didn't know how to show it.

"Don't worry, it won't put her in danger; just see what she can do."

Replied Phil as he reassured both the parents, noticing they had both taken a keen liking to the girl, but it was within what they had expected.

After that little exchange, Lily agreed and went along with them; being taken out of the lab, they entered and back to the elevator.

This time, they went down even further, going all the way down to a floor B6.

The first thing Lily was surprised about was the fact that this building had six basement floors, which in itself must have taken a lot of time and money to make.

But given the size and capabilities of S.H.I.E.L.D., along with their backing and Hydra being within them, it was within her expectations.

The second thing that surprised her was the room they had entered.

It was a large room centered around training or testing things that couldn't be done above.

The walls were tall and made of tough and thick metallic material with a dark blue tint.

The floor was solid, and while also seemingly made out of the same material as the walls, expect it also had another material that separated the room into multiple parts.

Each part was catered towards a different thing.

She could see equipment and machines that seemed to be for training or testing someone's physical capabilities, another area was decorated with targets that seemed for testing, or training ranged capabilities, and so on.

She couldn't help but be amazed at how the place was designed and everything in it.

She could only assume that this floor was made to train promising Agents or even Mutants they hired to work for them.

And now it was her turn to be tested in it.

"Please, follow me; this area here has the things needed to run the tests."

Phil said as he led them to the area with the machines and equipment set up.
