Albert and Louise Thompson seem to be having a hard time processing this.
Meanwhile, the kid is shouting instructions from within the camber, pity it is soundproof. No more of his virus can be spread either, so now I am waiting to see how his parents react. I might need to knock them out for 24 hours.
"Lilly, is the chamber secure?"
'Yes Joel, I am collecting all the viruses he is releasing. He has quite the mouth on him.'
It seems his parents have finally realized what has happened and run forward to try to release him, I guess he left an order with them to help him in a situation like this.
"Oh well" I sigh knocking them both out and moving them into another chamber, I was hoping he had not thought that far ahead.
I add some gas to their chamber to ensure they sleep longer. As I am about to head up I feel an influx of energy for a moment, vast amounts of mutant radiation energy. I guess this confirms it, one theory for the accident at Chernobyl is a mutant, either working there or being experimented on.
'Joel, I have information on the some names you have on the list.'
I am a little surprised, but I am also aware that all I know might be off, all those other verses have some difference, so someone being born early is not so far-fetched.
'I have located Emma Frost and Azazel'
I stop dead, "What? How are they alive?"
'They were imprisoned in 1963 by Bolivar Trask, it seems both of them had one additional ability that also explains the rumors concerning their slow aging. Azazel seemed to wrap himself in the "smoke" of his teleportation, it seems he is unable to move but also untouchable and showing no signs of aging.
Emma Frost encased herself within her diamond, as well as the room she was being held in. She seems to be in a coma and has shown no signs of aging as well.'
"Oh wow, I did not see that coming. Wait, if they cannot be moved, then are they still at the old Trask building?"
'Yes, and they are not alone. Other mutants are being held in the same building. Project Transigen took it over, and after a lot of digging, I found they are a subsidiary of the Essex Corporation.'
"Are you able to take over their systems, I mean Transigen and Essex, without them being aware and retaining the highest level access?"
'I already did, although there seem to be small Essex buildings all over the world so I am unable to reach them at the moment. At the moment Transigen is working with DNA from Wolverine and looking to clone it. Long term they have plans to create their own mutant army as well as mutant suppression and growth serums.'
"Okay, let's keep a copy of everything they have done so far. It seems we going to be dealing with mutants a lot more, see about taking control of what media we can please. I am not too bothered if you use money or blackmail."
I head to the table and since Lilly already has the formula for me I put it together to prevent infection by Killgraves virus.
Head up the stairs with the injection in hand, it seems Jean has come down and is reading on the sofa.
"Did you want to come with me tomorrow? I am going to see an old friend of yours."
Jean looks up from her book and smiles, "Sure, who are we seeing?"
"Do you mind if I leave it as a surprise? I am pretty sure you're not going to guess who." I reply with a smirk, "If I seem to be in pain tonight it is because I need to take an antibody and it will hurt Lilly said."
Jean frowns at me and then nods.
I did not realize I would get so involved with the mutants, it might be a much better way than I had planned originally.
I place the injection next to the bed and enter the SpeedForce, there is something I want to find out.
Before I even adjust to being back I hear Eve, "Hi Joel, glad you came back."
I smile at the little girl and nod, "Yeah, there is something I am curious about. The SpeedForce is everywhere, right?"
Eve smiles brightly and nods, "Yes! I am everywhere and everywhen."
I blink and stare at her blankly, "Did you just say you exist throughout time?"
"Well naturally, if you use me to go back or forward in time, I have to exist there, but you're not moving into a new me, I am only one."
My brain just fried, one SpeedForce, exists throughout all space and time and all I need to access it is to become stronger (faster). I am not thinking about time travel here, I am thinking the SpeedForce currently allows me to run faster, but like the Cosmic Wally West, if I learn to utilize the SpeedForce properly like Jean learns to wield the Phoenix Force.
Eve is giggling while watching me, "Did you think I only make people run fast? I am the concept of Speed in all ways, affecting all things. Everything is affected by Me, even the soul. It all depends on how well you integrate with me."
"Well, that makes my reason for coming here seem very mundane. I was curious about being able to move within here to move around outside."
"Yes, but you will still be moving at the same running speed, you will just not impact the outside. You just have to be very careful you do not exit into someone else or you will kill them."
"Great, thank you Eve, you have given me a lot to think about." I smile as I drop out of the SpeedForce.
"Lilly, could you find maps that are as precise as possible, please? I am going to need them to be able to travel without being seen,"
I sigh as I inject myself. Lilly never lied, it hurts a lot.
When I wake at 2 am I feel no different, I see Jean is sleeping close again but with no physical contact.
I quietly move out of the room to the computer and start to look over the maps Lilly found for me.
After memorizing the maps I start looking over the data concerning Transigen. They seem to only be focused on Cloning at the moment, nothing that any serious geneticist could not do.
A few pages in I swallow, "Lilly, could we convert 4 chambers into cloning chambers please?"
'Would be easy enough, is this to do with taking over that clone they are attempting?'
"Oh yes, the person I am meeting with tomorrow will be very interested in this, I think we have a helping hand now."
