Capítulo 282: Chapter 287
[POV Jean]
I finally finished typing the report and rubbed my temples… there was no easy way to break this to Bruce and Jennifer but nothing could be done now… they needed to be told.
In the morning I woke up Logan and at first he was completely confused and disarrayed. He asked me what happened, according to him, he didn't remember anything. I was kind of expecting this since we didn't find anything wrong with his brain.
He was obviously influenced by an outside source, I already knew this from Reo but his behavior confirmed it. I told him to wait and went to meet the other people who work here. After a very intense game of rock paper scissors, I returned to the room with a defeated look on my face.
Today I found that being the host of Phoenix Force doesn't mean that you can become lucky and I had long stopped peaking inside people's heads for trivial things like this and I have learned to respect people's privacy, unlike a certain late bald professor.
So, I told Logan what happened, he was really shaken after he heard what happened and left after thanking me. It was pretty clear that he was sad and depressed but there is nothing I could do there… I just hope that Reo is able to find the guy who did it.
Last night he did mention something about that but I didn't pay much attention since I was busy laughing at Nemuri like the others… I have to say, I never expected someone perverted like Nemuri wouldn't know that orgasms in porn are faked.
I sighed once again when I remembered my job. This time there won't be any game of rock, paper, scissors because Bruce and Jennifer were my responsibility… now, I think that it would have been much better if I had used Telepathy in the last game.
I stood up and took my coat and started to walk towards Bruce's and Jennifer's room. I arrived in front of their room and walked in while sliding the curtain. Since this was a private room there was no door in the room.
"Good afternoon Bruce, Jennifer, how are you both?" I greeted them and both of them greeted me back with smiles on their faces.
"I have got both of your reports here… it took me some time to get your profiles ready but here they are. If you want you can read them yourselves or I can explain them to you if you want" I said gently and used my telekinesis to pull a stool and sat down in front of their beds.
"You tell me… even though I am a doctor I don't think that I will be able to understand everything written in there" Bruce said and chuckled nervously.
"I am… well, was a lawyer before I came here. I won't be able to make heads or tails of it" Jennifer said and giggled.
Hearing both of the answers, I took a deep sigh "Ok, so let me start with Bruce first. Bruce firstly, I want to tell you that you were very stupid… I can't even fathom why you decided to test an experimental serum on yourself without any sort of tests?" I chastised him.
He might be a doctor but he is pretty stupid even with that degree. A degree won't make you smart… this is something related to common sense that you shouldn't inject yourself with untested serum.
Bruce looked really ashamed and lowered his head in shame… what he did was something kids do. They put anything in their mouth when their parents aren't looking. Bruce had done something equally stupid… he should have died… though I have a theory why he survived and I am pretty sure that I am right.
"Your foolishness aside" I sighed internally to calm myself. "Due to the whole experiment, not just the serum you have developed another personality. When your other personality takes over you turn into the Hulk. Since I haven't talked with your other personality I can't tell you anything about him and I don't think that it would be happening" I said in a neutral tone.
Both Bruce and Jennifer were listening to me patiently. During the previous questioning session, Bruce himself had told me that his other personality called himself Hulk or there was no way I could have found out about it.
"The amount of gamma-radiation your body had absorbed should have killed you but my theory is that the other you… the Hulk saved your life" I said and Bruce looked completely bewildered.
"You mean to say that he saved me? Why?" Bruce asked with a confused look on his face. Just like I mentioned a few seconds ago… he might have a doctorate degree but when it comes to common sense he is pretty dense.
"If you would have died then he would have also gone with you. Both of you come in a package deal" I deadpanned. Bruce looked sheepish and nodded his head.
"Now, when your heart rate increases you will turn into the Hulk, so you better not do anything that might raise your heart rate" I sniped and Bruce nodded his head like a good kid.
"Now, for you" I said and turned towards Jennifer. "It's good that Bruce gave you his blood… if it was anyone else's blood then you might have died. Bruce's blood is special, his blood carries the super-soldier serum and his blood is filled with gamma-radiation" I said and took a small pause so that Jennifer could digest all the info I dumped on her.
"So, when Bruce gave you his blood, he also gave you some of his powers and his special blood saved you. You also got powers like Bruce here but fortunately, you didn't get a second personality. You are completely… you" I said and both Jennifer and Bruce nodded in understanding.
"But I don't know what might cause you to transform. It might be on your will or it might depend on some other factor. For now, I can't say anything for sure… if you had transformed before then I might have been able to reach some conclusion but I don't want to shoot arrows in the dark" I finished and released a deep sigh.
For a few minutes, none of us said anything. Bruce and Jennifer were contemplating everything they just heard and I decided to stay here to see their decision.
"So, what now. What is going to happen to us now?" Jennifer gulped loudly and asked.
"That's for you to decide… no one will make any decision for you. You can stay on Elysium or we will send you back if you want" I said and I knew that they won't choose the second option, both of them have read The Quibbler.
After the fake trials, the US Government decided to tie up all the loose ends and declared Jennifer Walters as a criminal. After all, the whole police force in Los Angeles knew that Ross wanted to capture Jennifer because she was a criminal. After Ross died, the Police Chief babbled to the press.
Now, the Government was already facing a scandal with Ross's dirty laundry being aired and they couldn't risk the truth about Jennifer Walters getting out so they declared her as a genuine criminal. That is why hate politics… now, I understand what Nemuri does is very important.
Nat once told us that doing the right thing is good and all but the Government won't do the right thing if they don't gain anything from it. She mentioned that money is given to any martyr's family not because it is the right thing to do but it will boost their political image.
"But if you decide to stay then Bruce will have to stay somewhere remote until we find out how to exactly control his transformation or he himself finds out about it. We can't have him rampaging right in the middle of Elysium" I said and Bruce nodded his understanding.
From the looks of it, it seems that Bruce hasn't accepted the Hulk being a part of him. If he wants to control his power then he needs to accept it first… well, this is something that could be discussed at a later date.
Both cousins looked at each other and nodded and looked like they finally made their decision. "We have decided to stay" Jennifer was the one who spoke.
"Good, I will inform Eric about it" I said and got up from the stool. I used my power to put back the stool from where I took it.
"Wait, Eric? Isn't Leviathan responsible for the management of the island?" Bruce blurted out with a confused look on his face.
"No, Leviathan is pretty lazy and he always has something to do and he thinks managing a country isn't for him, so that's why he gave the responsibility to Eric" I said and shrugged.
After that, I left their room and texted Nat to inform Eric about Bruce's and Jennifer's decision. After receiving Nat's reply I happily returned to my office so that I could continue studying the research papers…
