Kapitel 238: Chapter 243

[POV Reo]

It has been four days since I and Natasha returned to Elysium. There was no direct flight from Cairo to Madagascar, we had to take one stopover. The journey with Natasha was quite nice… she was slightly reserved but from what her life was it was quite natural for her to be like that.

Today I decided to pay a visit to Momo, I wanted to see if everything was fine or not. After all, Apocalypse or En Sabah Nur is a potential threat now that he is out of stasis. Yes, none of us would have a problem defeating him but that doesn't mean that he cant be a pain in the ass.

I arrived in front of Momo's lab and knocked on her door. As soon as I knocked on the door it opened on its own. Kind of something I expected from Momo, after all, she has a love for automatic things. I cautiously entered the lab and found Momo was experimenting with some blood samples. En Sabah Nur was laying on an operating table. Natasha was assembling something which quite resembled a warhead… it must be the satellite Momo was making. Neither of them noticed that I entered the room.

"Hello girls" I decided to greet them in a gentle tone, I didn't want to scare them.

Both of them noticed me and turned towards me and gave me a nod as a greeting and returned to whatever they were doing before. For now, I decided to pay more attention to Momo and sat down beside her.

"So Momo, did you make any progress?" I asked her slowly not wanting to disturb her more than I was already doing.

"I have learned several interesting things about our friend here" Momo said finally turning towards me. She was completely in her scientist mode which meant there won't be any nonsense here.

I remained completely silent allowing her to continue speaking. "He has multiple powers and I have found that his essence forcefully activates the X-Gene in the new body to match all of his powers… after the process is finished he will remain in a weakened state, the body will take some time to stabilize before he is able to gain all of his abilities. Currently, he is going through that process. From what I have learned, as soon as his conscience and essence were transferred last time he was put under stasis" Momo said reading the notes from her tab.

"I have given him a sleeping draught… that will stop him from waking up until I give him an antidote" Momo said putting down her tablet. Well, using the sleeping draught is much better than the stunning spell. Momo pulled out a scalpel from her tools and held it up… "Watch this" Momo said and made a giant cut on his arm.

As soon as the cut was made it started to heal… I could clearly see tissues mending together. I have already known that he had a healing factor but this seemed much faster than Wolverine's and Deadpool's. I have seen it in the movies but seeing it with my own eyes is much more fascinating. "Just like you saw, this guy possesses a Regenerative Healing Factor and it's so strong that it makes him almost impossible to kill… even if you slit his throat…" Momo said and slit his throat with the scalpel. Even though I knew that he would heal and he did heal, I was quite surprised that she did that… "like you saw he will heal before he could bleed out".

"Did you just slit his throat?" Unable to hold myself back I decided to ask her. Momo didn't seem to appreciate my interruption and gave me an annoyed scowl, I swear that she would have made Minnie Gi proud with that scowl and stony face.

"Yes, I slit his throat but it was for research" Momo said with a stony look on her face. Yeah, she is definitely projecting Minnie Gi. "Now, don't interrupt me again" Momo said and put the scalpel away inside the sanitizer. Well, I guess I won't be interrupting her anymore.

"His healing factor makes him a pseudo immortal, I am quite certain that only because of this healing factor he was able to live for millennia. Otherwise, he is a completely normal meta-human…" Momo said and moved beside the blood samples.

"From my tests, I have concluded that if we transfer his essence and conscience to a normal human-like Natasha then he essence will forcefully activate the X-Gene inside the human… and, yes, I have made some tests and found out that there won't be any side effects except for the time needed to get all the power assimilated into the new body" Momo finished with a sigh and finally returned to her seat with a solemn look on her face.

"But there is still a problem which can't be solved… if we transfer his powers and essence then his mind will also hitch a ride and enter Natasha's body… there is no other way around it" Momo said in a sullen tone and tiredly put her head on the table.

"Momo, it's completely fine. I won't mind if I didn't get these powers until now I have been completely fine and I think I will be fine without powers too" Natasha said trying to cheer up Momo. Momo didn't say anything and groaned.

"I just don't like giving up… I was so close to solving the puzzle and I don't want to give up this project without any success" Momo said and groaned in frustration. Well, she mentioned that if we transfer the powers and his essence then his mind will hitch a ride… but what would happen if he didn't have a mind? Well, it was quite plausible… I am thinking about what happened to James Howlett, Stryker shot him with an adamantium bullet… he did grow back his brain but his memories didn't grow back.

From what I have seen about the healing factor of En Sabah Nur, it was sure that his brain won't melt if I use Legilimency and his brain and nerve would heal if I try to Crucio him into insanity but what happens if during that process Meta-Human Suppressors are used?

"Momo… you said that if you try to transfer his essence and powers then his mind will also hitch a ride, right?" I asked Momo who nodded her head with an unsure look on her face. "But what would happen if he doesn't have a mind?" I asked her in an excited tone. For a moment Momo also became excited but once again she lost her excitement when she remembered something.

"As I have said… that won't work. His healing factor will stop that from happening. Using either Legilimency or Crucio won't make him a vegetable… before you can even cause damage he will start healing" Momo insisted with the same sullen look on her face.

"Yes, I know. But he is still a meta-human, yes, a strong meta-human but he is still a meta-human, right?" I asked Momo grabbing her shoulder. At first, Momo just nodded her head with a confused look… only after a few seconds, understanding dawned on her.

"That's brilliant, Reo!! You are completely brilliant!! Why the hell didn't I think about this??!! Reo, you are a genius!!" Momo screamed in excitement and started to smother me with kisses while she held me in a tight hug.

"This will work! It will definitely work!" Momo exclaimed once again and with newfound energy, she went to her computer.

"Umm… excuse me, but what brilliant idea did you get from Reo?" Natasha asked in a nervous tone. If she wasn't nervous I would have been worried, after all, Momo would be transferring the powers to Natasha. An energetic Momo would definitely be something to worry about.

"Well, as he mentioned, this dude is still a meta-human so if we use Munatnt Suppressors then I will be able to stop his Regenerating Healing Factor from acting out… if we use this we could make his mind completely blank. This way, even if his mind hitches a ride, then it won't affect you, after all, his mind will be completely blank. Yes, even with the Mutant Suppressors it will be hard to suppress his powers but it is doable" Momo said in complete excitement and started to make scenarios on her computer.

"We could also make some adjustments if needed like we will keep the memories about his powers intact… it will help you to master his powers but it will still be you up there" I said to Natasha pointing towards her head. Momo squealed once again because of my new idea.

All of a sudden, I felt Luna appear in the room. Her teleportation ability is a kind of cheat… she can appear anywhere without a sound or light. If it wasn't for my senses I wouldn't have noticed her arrival. "Hello, Reo, Momo, and you too Natasha" Luna spoke in her usual dreamy tone.

Natasha was immediately freaked out by a sudden voice in the room but she calmed down when she noticed it was Luna who had decided to pay us a visit. Momo didn't have any problems as she was kind of used to Luna's antics. "Hello Luna, was there something wrong with our plan?" I asked, after all, Luna suddenly paying a visit would mean that the plan must have some kind of fault.

"Oh, that's perfect, it will work perfectly but I didn't visit for that. I wanted to tell you that we are going to have visitors" Luna said with a dreamy look and disappeared. Now, what the hell did she mean by visitors???
