บท 46: Chapter 46
When I was sure May and Ben wouldn't try and disturb me I snuck out in costume and continued my parole.
It was a long night filled with crime and terror. For now I was basically on damage control, stopping crimes from happening, but I knew the root of the problem still existed and until I could figure who I should hit next it would remain.
For the next week or so this was my schedule. I had school and then tutoring with Felicia and MJ. The redhead didn't like the platinum blonde much, but she didn't make the tutoring session any more difficult than it already was. In the end I actually managed to raise up the grades of both girls.
My time with the FF was always interesting. Most of the time I assisted Reed or Sue in one of their projects, I would give my advice or helped them out on their calculations. I was basically a temp with the added bonus of pay and time to do my own thing.
My first invention was something I'm actually quite proud off to be honest. Ben Grimm was actually the one who inspired me. He was trying to read the latest sports illustrated issue but kept dropping the tiny magazine due to his huge hands. He even got so frustrated he tore it by accident.
I honestly felt bad for the guy, there was so much about him that would make anyone feel suicidal, but he kept on going and for that I'm proud to call him my friend. But maybe there was something I could do to help.
So I got to work and invented the SA, or Scan and Adapt. It wasn't a groundbreaking feat of scien or anything like that. It was actually a very basic idea.
I made an elastic frame lined with intense image projectors that could serve to create a sheet of light that could work like a screen. It was a sort of pseudo-hologram, able to exist only within the frame itself, but it was exactly what I needed.
I then put two cameras on the back of the frame and worked on a very basic programing for the system. And when it was done I presented it to Ben.
It was Thursday night and the FF had gathered around their dining table for dinner. You will never believe what they were having. If you guessed pizza, you were right.
"We should really start cooking our own food," Sue said munching on a slice.
"Great idea sis, only one problem, none of us know how to cook," Johnny shrugged.
"Hm, maybe we should hire a maid?" Reed suggested, "so we have enough funds for that Sue?"
"No, we are barely making it as it is," Sue sighed, "if we don't' get a product we can market we might need to slim things down."
"Are you planning on firing the kid?" Ben asked as he used a wrench to pick up a slice before eating it.
"I hope not, but it just might come to that," Sue sighed.
"Where is Peter anyway?" Johnny asked, "I haven't seen him all day."
"He's working on a personal project," Reed explained, "he didn't tell me what though. I hope he isn't doing something stupid in there."
"Hey guys! Glad you're all here!" I ylled out charging into the den with a grin on my face.
"Hey Peter, care for a slice?" Johnny asked.
"Pizza? Again? You guys should really hire a chief or something, eating this much carbs might not be healthy," I warned, I loved pizza as much as the next guy, but there is something called too much of a good thing.
"Agreed, anyway where were you? Reed told you us were working on something?" Sue asked.
"Yeah I did!" I grinned as I held up a black frame the size of my palm, "ta-da!"
Johnny raised an eyebrow, "so ah, what does it do?"
"I'll show you," I quickly went to the living room and grabbed a TIMES magazine. I put the magazine on the table and held up the frame, "I call this the Scan and Adapt," I stretched the frame out to the three times it's size and placed it over the magazine and gave a command, "scan."
The frame turned alive as a blue screen appeared in the frame. Slowly an image of TIME magazine cover spread in the frame. I held the frame up and smiled, "ta-da!"
Reed raised an amused eyebrow, "and...the point is?"
I rolled my eyes, "the frame can expand to the size of a black board or shrink to the size of my palm. It scans documents and stores it away in your phone or whatever memory space you wish for. It can also quick scan, you just have to show a page for a fraction of a second for the SA to store its image away, here see."
I had Sue hold the frame up as I flipped the pages in the magazine one by one. In a minute I was done scanning the 100 or so pages in the magazine.
"Save scanned pages as TIMES issue October 2011," I spoke, a tick mark appeared on the screen. The images all complied themselves into a digital magazine which appeared in my library in the device.
"So...you basically created an advanced version of the Kindle?" Johnny asked unimpressed.
I grumbled, "no, I created a device that can compile and adapt books in seconds. And we can also use it as a smart board. It's like comparing you to a birthday candle Johnny."
"Okay okay, no need to get so defensive," Johnny held up his hands in surrender.
"It also has another purpose," my voice turned soft as I handed the extra large SA to Ben, "you don't have to worry about tearing any more book now Ben. It's very hard to break, and if you do it's not a problem, you can just adapt all the stored data into a new one."
