Chapter 89 Powering up
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter swung through the city as the police radio spoke in his ears. Another fender bender on Houston Street. Nothing to concern himself about, the man at the edge of the building waving at him though. Hended and the man didn’t get up, he just remained sitting on the ledge of the building. It only took Peter a nce to recognize him, which put him on edge.
<span style="font-weight:400">The man casually asked. “Hey, can I get some of your blood?” The question put Peter off guard. Why would the man want his blood? Was it for a nefarious plot? Was he going to use it with his magic to curse him? He couldn’t answer before a needle floated up behind him and jabbed him in the arm. WHAT!? How did it bypass his spider-sense?
<span style="font-weight:400">“How’d it bypass my spider sense?” The man only smirked at him before asking. “Do you know how your powers work?” Peter hadn’t really thought of it before. The man continued. “The powers work to even keep your identity a secret even unconsciously. So it has to be based on your beliefs. You don’t think medicine is a danger so a needle with the flu shot is enough to bypass it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">The man floated the needle over before pouring the entire contents into his mouth. Spiderman almost wretched as the man made a grimacing face before saying out loud. “Nope, can’t use your blood. The spider bite isn’t floating around, it isbined with your DNA. You’re effectively not human anymore. So I can’t use your blood to synthesize a spider drug, unfortunately.”

<span style="font-weight:400">de Wilson got a weird call from a former employer. Ten million for a few ounces of his blood. He just couldn’t figure out why. People have tried to reverse engineer the “miracle” drug out of his blood before with no sess. It was too well diluted, and the technology just wasn’t at the level to reverse engineer the drug from it.
<span style="font-weight:400">At least that’s what he thought, until the man showed up with two briefcases full of the money, and just drank the blood in front of him.
<span style="font-weight:400">……………………………………………………………………………………………………
<span style="font-weight:400">Maya Hansen was currently unpacking boxes after moving. She had been removed as one of the key scientists of the think tank of A.I.M. and was trying to figure out what to do next in her life. They had plumbed her depths of knowledge and spit her out, taking everything, but her extremis form. She knew that if she mentioned it, she could have kept her job, but then that would have been stolen from her as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">No, it was best to cut her losses and look for work elsewhere. A sudden gust of wind came through the window. She moved over to close it before realizing she hadn’t opened the window. As she turned around, one of her boxes fell to the ground. It was the boxes containing the extremis vials!
<span style="font-weight:400">She rushed over to the box and saw that all twelve vials of the virus were still there. She didn’t notice the one vial that was slightly less fullpared to the others. She also didn’t notice the letter ced on the table in the middle of the room.
<span style="font-weight:400">…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
<span style="font-weight:400">Shuri was one of the most intelligent people on the. She had made multiple contingencies that strengthened the Wakandan defenses to the point the world could attack them and the oue wouldn’t be clear. At least that’s what she thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">Wakanda was one of the most technologically advanced civilizations on the. So it didn’t make sense that without any of their sensors, or the patrols, or even just the logistics of someone moving the products in and out wouldn’t be caught. It should be impossible for five hundred pounds of vibranium to go missing. It should be impossible that half of their heart-shaped herb nts were stolen either. On top of everything, one of Shuri’s prototype suits was stolen.
<span style="font-weight:400">…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
<span style="font-weight:400">Lorina Dodson(aka White Rabbit) had mostly recovered from what had happened to her. Somehow, against all odds, she was still alive. All of her known alliesy dead, or in jail, or working for the man who destroyed her life. Well, to be fair, he was also the one who rebuilt her life. She was lucid again. The fog of insanity had faded enough for her to know she had done wrong.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her days were spent in the mansion of the husband she murdered when she first had her psychotic break. She sat in quiet contemtion over everything that went wrong in her life, and she knew one day she’d get up and start living again. She just couldn’t pull herself out of the funk yet. She still wanted to grieve.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her thoughts often drifted to the man who put her here. Who put her in this depressed state, still alive but almost unwilling to move on? She wished… She wished he’d juste back and make her feel happy. To help fill the void in her life that he left with himself. The man that she was thinking about popped out of thin air between herself and the TV.
<span style="font-weight:400">He asked. “Heya White. Any chance you can get ahold of your M.G.H. dealer for me?” She screamed in fear while still being aroused thinking about him. She screamed in fearousal.
<span style="font-weight:400">…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
<span style="font-weight:400">I walked into SHIELD after what felt like a lifetime of side missions. I just felt out of ce here now. Still, I liked the people enough to stick around, even after I got what I wanted. Captain America and Director Carter were both growing to be good friends of mine. Director Carter was pregnant, so I didn’t want to step on their toes and leave. As the director of the MANA division, I was still a huge part of the day-to-day operations of the SHIELD.
<span style="font-weight:400">SHIELD had essentially rebranded itself to America’s covert ops department, and we started to swing more and more into the role making our ground troops stronger. As cool as White Tiger or Iron Fist as team captains would be, it made more sense to strengthen the tens of thousands of normal ground troops to their level of strength.
<span style="font-weight:400">That’s why I had shown up and asked Steve for his blood. Without really even asking me why he bled out a little blood into a vial I had prepared for him. I grossed him and Director Carter out as I downed the blood. The formtion for the super soldier serum was now mine as well, but that was only the first part of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Even incorporating it into my own body would only give me a paltry boost to my own stats. No, I wanted to perfect it along with everything else. I wanted to make a true super soldier serum. It took me a few breaths to reverse-engineer the form and make it so it wouldn’t require gamma radiation to activate.
<span style="font-weight:400">One of the drawbacks to the serum is it would put you at peak human, but the growth afterward was still possible. A person who used this version could still grow two or even three times as strong after constant use and struggle. The serum would let a normal human lift half a ton once, but Captain America could bench press a ton of weight fairly easily.
<span style="font-weight:400">The super soldier serum ces you at peak human and unlocks your potential to get stronger on top of that. What if I altered it so it would increase the speed at which you improved? Adding in the heart-shaped herb me and Poison Ivy has been mutating to its full potential. A perfected extremis. The mirakuru drug without the insanity. MGH but not addictive and permanent. Finally, breakthrough pills that would allow normal humans to break through and begin gathering chi naturally…

<span style="font-weight:400">Natasha’s point of view
<span style="font-weight:400">It had been a while since I got to spend some good quality time with Danny. He was always so busy now, besides our scheduled sex session, we didn’t see much of each other. Cassandra and Stephanie both penciled in date nights with him, perhaps I should do the same. I mean, I am having his children after all, the least he can do is take me out every once in a while.
<span style="font-weight:400">We sat on a wooden swing bench, he had ced it pointing towards the sunset. I was pulled into his chest with his arm wrapped around me and his hand ced gently on my belly. It was still too soon for me to be showing but soon, soon the baby bump would appear. I wasn’t looking forward to my body stretching to amodate two humans, but from what I heard it isn’t that bad for super soldiers.
<span style="font-weight:400">The hour or so of just quiet enjoyment of each other''spany was amazing. I knew I loved the man, but it was nice to know he cared for me as well. After the sunset, he turned and looked me in the eyes and asked. “Do you want to do drugs together?”
