Bab 99: Chapter 98
I went back to my lab and grabbed my civilian clothes that I have stashed away just in case I needed it. I pack up my costume and put the away, coming back to Sue's lab. Her monitors were filled with images of my blood and Sue looked at them like she didn't understand what was going on.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Nothing," Sue hissed, "which is exactly the problem. You blood is different now, it's genetic structure is….it's like i mutated," she pulled up two monitors displaying my genetic helix, "the one on the right is your blood a week ago, the one on the left is your blood now."
I looked at the two samples, the one I had a week ago looked to be relatively normal, and so did the one I had now. But upon further looking I realised certain strands were different, mutated into something else entirely.
"How?" I asked.
"I have a theory," she said, "it's relating to your meta powers." I nodded allowing her to continue, "you see, I think your blood is the key to your survival. Like we figured out the first time around, your blood adapts itself to foreign invaders, so maybe this time it did the same thing."
I hummed, "do you have the files from the lab? Do we know what this thing was?"
Sue nodded, "yeah, just a sec," she quickly pulled up various documents up on the screen, "from what I understand these geneticists were task to recreate some kind of way to duplicate a mutagene. From what I understand this gas was based upon a 'Subject- D', someone who apparently has some sort of special powers."
"Do we know what kind of powers he had?" I asked.
"No, her file wasn't included in the folders SHIELD gathered," Sue told me.
"Subject- D is a woman," I stated, "okay...how about her genetic sequence? Can we figure out what's so special about her through it?"
"No, because they didn't know either."
"What? How's that possible? They were trying to recreate her powers but had no idea how they worked or even what they were?!"
"Why do you think 31 children died as a result?" Sue spat out, "fucking monsters. They weren't given enough time or material to research, it's like giving a toddler a few water colours and asking him to paint the Mona Lisa. Impossible, unless you have a genius working for them."
I sighed, "so what do we know about the gas itself? What can we tell?"
"Well, the gas was made up of certain properties that I'm not really sure about," Sue grumbled, "it seems the scientist were given a sample of Subject- D's blood, but were not allowed to examine it. So instead they had to somehow push the blood to take over the….children's bodies," she stopped, "children Peter...fucking children!"
I hanged my head, "I know Sue, belive me, I know."
"How did SHIELD not know about this?" she asked.
"They did...they just didn't have anyone to take the mission, until me that is," I sighed.
"I swear, next time I see Fury I'm going to strangle him!" she yelled sending out a flash of power that pushed everything around her as she created an invisible force field around herself.
"Sue, calm down," I quickly told.
"Yeah….sorry about that," she growled before turning to her monitor.
I was about to reply when I smelt something in the air again, rusted copper. It smelt burnt, a fire? "Sue, do you smell that?"
Sue looked confused, "smell what?"
"That," I sniffed, "like burnt copper. Like something's burning?"
"I'm not sure," Sue groaned, she opened up the security cameras in the Baxter building, "I'm not getting any fire alarms anywhere on the top five floors Peter."
I narrowed my eyes, I moved towards her to look at the screen and immediately the scent got stronger. It was coming from her? Again?
I blinked, "I-ah….forget about it."
Sue looked worried, "Peter, if you're smelling something that isn't there maybe you have a concussion or something. Maybe you should rest."
I shock my head, "not until I figure out what's wrong with me."
"Peter-"
"-Sue, please, I need to know," I pleaded.
Sue sighed, "fine." She opened my blood work again, "they used radiation to try and fuse Subject- D's blood into...their test subjects," she growled and once more I smelt the copper blood. Was it her anger I smelt? Can I do that now?
"So radiation, again," I sighed, "first it was a radiated spider, now radiated gas…..Wait a minute, can we reverse engineer my two blood samples and see the difference that have occurred so far?"
Sue's eyes went wide before she smiled, "that's brilliant!" She quickly began to move around her lab, I watched as she got to work doing something I didn't even have the first clue what. What? There were limits to what Peter could be amazing at, genetics isn't one of them.
"God dammit!" she cried out suddenly.
I immediately walked up to her, "what's wrong?"
"Your blood! That's what's wrong!" Sue yelled out, "it's fucking locked!"
I blinked, "what do you mean?"
"When I tried to analyze your DNA the genomes were unreadable," she hissed, the smell of burnt copper taking the air, "it was like….like an encrypted computer. I couldn't access the changes made, it's like your DNA has a passcode for it, so I can't decode it!"
I blinked, "how is that even possible?"
Sue sighed, "your genes have a sort of protective layer of enzymes covering them, preventing people from understanding what they are. It's the same thing that allows you to adapt from your spider bite, assimilating your spider power, only now it prevents me from looking into it's genetic structure. We use enzymes for genetic surgery, but the moment I introduce any enzyme your...layer of protection kind of blocks it, preventing me from even looking inside."
