Most of it would be useless without the research anyway.
Sam, throw all of our notes into the car, leave everything that’s too big for you to carry. If you can’t make them leave, then the moment they get inside, run towards the garage and get in the car. “Noah, open the door, stall for as long as you can. Making a snap-decision, I hurried downstairs, keeping the towel roughly in place with one desperate hand, bursting into the kitchen where both scientists were running around, stuffing notes and equipment in chests and bags.īoth looked up in shock at my sudden entrance, their eyes widening and mouths falling open at my current (lack of) clothing, but we didn’t have time for any of that now. Obviously, neither me nor Sterns could really answer the door, so it would have to be Burstein, who (judging by his frantic whispers) really didn’t want to try and turn away what was likely to be a government spook at the door. My hearing picked up panicked shuffling from downstairs as Sterns and Burstein were figuring out what they should do. Thankfully the bathroom had a view of the street in front of Burstein´s house, so wrapping the towel around my waist (though due to my size it ended up more like a loin-cloth) I went over to the window and looked outside.Īnd nearly had a heart-attack when I saw a column of black SUV’s parked on the road in front of the house (could I even get heart-attacks anymore? Food for thought). It was when I stepped out of the shower, still towelling myself off when shit began to go wrong.
If the trade-off for becoming unbreakable was a little rougher skin, then I would gladly pay the price. It even felt weird now, with a really rough texture almost like I had been rolling in gravel while covered in glue or something. Still, I was quickly brought down from my short-lived power trip by the two scientists ushering me from the shed and into the pouring rain, both apparently scolding me for just standing there in the toxic fumes that remained after I vaporised the acid bath (probably the reason for my manic bout of laughing and why it took Extremis so damn long to kick in).Īfter testing whether I was stronger than I was durable by repeatedly stabbing myself with the sharpest knife I could find in Burstein’s kitchen (turns out that not even I can pierce my own skin, though I definitely felt the impacts) I took a well-deserved shower, washing the grime off my newly changed skin. I had to fight to urge to step outside, cackle to the sky and shout: “I AM INVICIBLE!”įortunately, the Overlord List had taught me better than that.
I decided to recreate the trick that Luke used to show Jessica he was superhuman as well, and seeing the blade of a saw literally blunt itself as it just sends sparks flying from your skin is the most badass feeling in the world. A bold escape!Let me just restate this for the record, so we’re all on the same page here.
