Capítulo 16: Chapter 16
Denton black landed quite hard. I can't mistake the pleasant sound of bones breaking for anything else... But I wasn't in a hurry to get out, because Barry Allen hadn't left yet. He looked down for a while, but then pulled himself together, gathered himself, and ran away. As the orange flash passed me, I moved toward the Multiplex's body. There were no people around because it was night. And the place where black fell was not particularly crowded, even during the day. So there were no witnesses, which made it easier for me.
I ran over to the rather flattened corpse and took out a hypodermic needle. First, I started with the most advantageous place – the Ilium. Then he quickly aspirated the bone marrow. The first syringe was quickly filled, then I took out the second and performed a similar procedure. The syringe was barely half full, so I quickly pulled it out and poured all the liquid into a pre-prepared test tube. After that, I exhaled, lifted the corner of the mask, and quickly drank all the bone marrow.
I didn't feel anything at first, but then...
- How strange...- My body felt like it was being electrified, my head started to ache, and my eyes started to swim.
- Damn, it's time to get out, I'm passing out... - I quickly took syringes and a test tube, and began to run away.
*Bang* * Ding*
While I was running, I tripped and broke the test tube, gritting my teeth, I got up and continued walking to the car. The test tube was sterile so there were no fingers left, but here's my saliva after I drank the brain...
When I got to the car, I already felt that I had only a few seconds left, climbing inside the body and slamming the door, I fell and everything went dark...
After an unknown amount of time, I woke up. My eyes ached slightly, as did my entire body,but it was more positive than negative. Turning my hands and head, I felt some subtle changes. I felt a little lighter, and my thoughts were clearer. Even my vision, even though I was in the dark, could make out the silhouettes of various instruments much more clearly. Hmm, still, his bone marrow had a positive effect on me, and the bone marrow of ordinary people became completely useless to me. It seems that meta-people are much more perfect and thanks to them I can continue to develop, this is good.
Hmm, and his abilities, maybe I could somehow... I closed my eyes and concentrated, trying to separate my copy. I don't know what I did, but I tried...
- Yeah, nothing, maybe I'm trying something wrong...- I grumbled.
I closed my eyes again and tried to focus on my head, see what would happen...
And after a couple of seconds...
* Hrrr* * Clap*
Something seemed to fall, but I couldn't tell what it was because of the darkness...
- There was a flashlight somewhere...- I started looking for a big lantern, I remember taking one with me.
- Oh, there it is.-
*Shchelk*
I turned on the flashlight and started looking for something that might have fallen.
- That's it...- When I pointed the flashlight at the object in the corner, I fell into a slight stupor, but then I exhaled and went to it. When I picked it up, I felt a strange connection, like it was part of me. Focusing on it, I saw. I saw myself...
What I was holding was my eye, so I probably somehow managed to create a copy of my eye and now I was looking at myself with that copy.
It looks like I was able to take over his ability, but not completely. I probably won't be able to create my own copy, but only certain body parts. His cells could easily divide, even from a small drop of blood, he could grow a copy of himself, but for me, everything seems to work a little differently. I can probably only create certain parts of my body...
Hmm, even this I am glad, this ability can not help me a little. For example, I can create an eye and leave it somewhere to collect information. You just need to know the distance at which I can communicate with my parts, as well as what other parts I can clone. Eyes are good, but I wouldn't mind having ears, either.
I closed my eyes and focused, and then...
*HRR*
As before, a strange shiver went through my body and something fell.
I looked down and grinned:
- Here's the ear, very good.-
I focused on it and made the connection, then said very quietly:
- Reception.-
And I heard it instantly, with my new ear. Even my improved hearing was transmitted to him, not bad...
After that, I started testing all my new features with this ability. And I learned a lot. First, I could create no more than five body parts at a time. So if I wanted to create five eyes and one ear, it wouldn't work. It was just that nothing was happening, and there was a slight pain in my head, which was a kind of signal that this was my limit. Also, the maximum size of the cloned part was small, the maximum that I could do was clone my brush with all my fingers, and then only one, it didn't work anymore... If I wanted to produce another part, I had to get rid of the other part, cut off the connection, so to speak.
From the looks of it, the ability I had absorbed had weakened very much and my body had slightly changed it. But it didn't matter, even that was enough for me. Moreover, now I know that I am quite capable of developing further, but instead of ordinary people, I need meta-people. Even their abilities I can get, only in a more weakened version. Although, some of them, I'm still not going to eat. For example, the abilities of that girl – plastic, I definitely don't want to get them, as well as the abilities of that electric guy – Blackout, like that was his name. His ability is very good, but it has a disadvantage no better than mine, and in some ways even worse. His electric starvation is a terribly unpleasant defect, and I have enough of my own hunger. So I wouldn't eat it, even if I had the chance.
Well, it's time to get out of here. I'm done here, and it's a good thing I put the truck out of the way, or the cops would have probably cleaned it up or checked it out. Anyway, it was a good idea to buy your own truck and drive it here. Otherwise, I don't even know what would have happened...
Quickly changing my clothes, I got out of the truck and looked around. There was no one around, and in front of them, black's body had already been removed. No wonder, since it was already the middle of the day, and I arrived at night. It was a good thing the truck was far enough away...
I got behind the wheel, started the car, and drove home.
