Chapter 65: Dream Discoveries

{What is it? Is there something wrong with my suit?} Alexis was worried seeing Matt's reaction.

{I don't know yet. I've been tasked with studying this living metal and discovered that it reacts aggressively to blood. However, the suits seem to be self-contained. They underwent some sort of process that made them docile. The ritual of giving them blood is most likely some sort of pact. That is why each person gets their own suit and they can't be swapped.}

{Is it dangerous…?} She was worried but Matt wasn't completely sure. The living metal reacted well with him and even integrated itself in his body instead of infecting him. That would suggest that Alexis would also be safe. However, he wouldn't take that risk for now.

{Since you are off-duty anyway, avoid wearing the suit. I'll try to research the process and once I'm certain it is safe, you might be able to get even stronger with the suit.} Alexis sat up and leaned against Matt's shoulder.
