On the tip of the tweezers, a small piece of translucent scale shone and refracted light under the light.

"It's much harder than expected, and it's a bit different from fish scales." Tony, who was obsessed with tweezers, commented.

He let go of the tweezers, and the scales fell on the petri dish with a crisp sound.

Janna, who was sitting by the side, glanced at the almighty inventor who was observing the microscope, and then turned her gaze back to her shoulder. There was a piece of skin torn off, with a little wet blood oozing on it.

When this thing was torn off from the body surface, even a small piece was painful.

Tony reassures her that he will find a way to bring her back.

"As long as I can figure out the formula, I will be able to develop an antidote," he told Janna.

If an antidote is developed and this body returns to normal, will she continue to live in this capacity?

This suspicion appeared in Janna's mind.

But soon, she denied it.

Like her previous body, Lorraine's soul had left her body, which was dying.

The antidote may save the mutated people, but not the dead.

"It's very strange, very strange." Tony said, drawing Janna's attention back, "This is not a simple scale, there are abundant tissue cells on it. Although the cells that leave the human body are dying, it is very, very slowly. .”

Janna suddenly understood why it hurt so much to tear it off her body. It wasn't a hair or a nail, it was her flesh.

Tony projected the picture under the microscope and showed it to Janna.

"You see, this is at a normal rate, and the cells seem to have entered a state of dormancy."

Janna propped up half of her chin, looking at the complex image in front of her with half understanding.

"Now speed up to ten times, and then a hundred times."

The cells on the screen visibly started to animate, divide and disappear.

Tony finally came to his own conclusion: "I think this may be because the medicine has different effects on different people. Although the effect on you causes your mutation, it also slows down the cell division in your body. This also explains Why do other people mutate very quickly, but you only show a difference in appearance after a few days."

"..." Janna couldn't bear to tell Tony that a large part of the reason for this situation may be that the death process of this body slowed down, so the cell division also slowed down in the same proportion.

She looked at the man who was trying to solve the body mutation for her, and tried to continue to deal with the ingredients of the medicine in her organization seriously, and nodded cooperatively: "Mr. Stark, I think what you said is very interesting." reason."

Near the evening, the composition of the potion was still at a loss, but Stark ushered in an unexpected visitor.

The lines under the dark blue shirt are perfect, and there is a silver-white five-pointed star on the chest.

The man has short golden chestnut hair and a confident smile with a red, silver and blue shield on his shoulders.

In the other hand, he held a bulging fast food bag.

"Look who's here, I don't remember any takeout from Burger King, and a superhero rushed it to me." Tony glanced at the takeout paper bag.

The man was a little surprised, not only because the strange Janna was here, but also because the orderly and eye-catching scales on her exposed skin were as silvery as the star on his shield.

"Jana Loren." Janna didn't feel uncomfortable being watched because of her unique mutation. She recognized this man from his attire, "The famous captain?"

"Steve Rogers, nice to meet you." Although curious, Steve still greeted politely.

He then threw the takeaway paper bag in his hand to Tony, who instinctively caught it.

Once in his hand, Tony found that there was something wrong with the quality and shape of the takeaway.

Tony let go of the paper bag and took a look inside. It was a bloody horn.

"I swear no one is in the mood to enjoy this new breed." He frowned.

Janna smelled blood, obviously it was no ordinary takeaway.

Steve glanced at Janna, who shrugged sensiblely, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as Janna left, Steve told what happened today.

He jogged by the river this morning as usual.

On the tenth lap, a horned monster knocked out of the bushes.

The monster's nose was emitting disgusting heat, and its feet were as long as iron hooves. It swiped backwards a few times, and shouted "Captain!" and straightened towards him.

Steve quickly moved away, but his coat was still cut by its horns, and he rolled twice on the grass.

With the face of a man and the body of a cow, this monster is extremely powerful.

After a fight, Steve used his shield to cut off its two horns, and then several rounds of heavy blows to finish the monster.

After Steve finished speaking, Tony in front of him was thoughtful.

"Any questions?" Steve asked.

"Aren't you running in the morning? Where did the shield come from?" Tony asked him.

"...I'll carry a gym bag with me." That's not the point at all... Steve has a headache, "I think you should know something, I found a bag nearby and put it in for you."

"I might actually know something."

Tony nodded seriously, took the takeaway bag with the horns in it and asked Steve to follow him in.

The position of Captain America's morning exercise was specially selected, and this time it was an attack on himself.

After listening to this outside the door, Janna immediately thought of it.

"Miss, I'm afraid Mr. Stark won't like your eavesdropping." Artificial Intelligence Jarvis reminded her.

"Then you should tell him--'Iron Man and Captain America's underground secrets were tapped, and the killer was killed'. I have also thought about the report." Janna replied indifferently.

Jarvis: "..." What's wrong with this title?

When Janna re-enters, Steve already has a general idea that Tony has encountered the same situation recently.

Steve, who was also mutated due to the influence of the serum potion, was very sympathetic to Janna's situation.

He wanted to touch a relatively dense scale on Janna's arm, but he felt it was inappropriate and took it back:

"I believe Mr. Stark can solve your troubles." He comforted.

And the test on the horn brought back by Steve on the other side has the results. The experiment shows that the drug injected into this thing is the same as the monster clamoring for Iron Man to come out a few days ago, and the one on Janna.

It reminded Janna of what Natasha had asked her about, the mutant-making organization known as MMT.

"A mutant potion that will have different effects due to the difference in the genes of a person." Tony shook his hand, trying to get rid of the weird touch of touching the horns through the gloves.

"I think we need to talk to S.H.I.E.L.D. what might be found there," Steve suggested.

Before that, Tony asked Happy to send Janna back first.

He promised to make an antidote for her as soon as possible.

Sure enough, she, an "involved ordinary person", couldn't participate in the superhero's defense of civilians.

***

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Janna hadn't had dinner yet, so she was a little hungry.

At this moment, compared to the daytime, she has already torn off the silk scarf and gloves

Happy took a few glances during the period. He heard that it was because of the influence of the medicine. He seemed to be able to understand the girl's abnormal temperature perception during the day.

"parking!"

Hearing the sound behind the car, Happy instinctively stepped on the brakes.

"What happened?" Happy looked around, it was still some way from Janna's apartment.

I just heard Janna's tone at the moment was extremely peaceful: "I haven't eaten anything all afternoon, just send me here. I'll go to the convenience store ahead to buy some food and I'll walk back by myself later."

"But Mr. Stark asked me to send you back..." Harpy was only halfway through, when the people in the back seat opened the window to the maximum and turned it out.

Happy: "..." I didn't know anything, I turned around halfway and the girl was gone, believe me.

Janna would choose to come down halfway, not only because she was hungry, she saw a familiar person.

The man in the suit who questioned her on the road why her body didn't change.

This section is a busy city, and there are not too many people. When Jana arrived at the section where she saw the man in the suit in the car, she couldn't find the man in the suit.

She wandered the streets, not knowing where to start.

Suddenly, he bumped into someone inadvertently.

"Is that right..." Janna's apology faltered on her lips.

A man in a black sweater, with a hat covering the upper half of his forehead, his chestnut blond bangs showing a few twists.

The pair of eyes slowly lifted up, and when Janna recognized who it was, she felt the whole street was silent for a moment.

Janna's breathing stopped for a second, and she quickly regained her composure. Her face showed confusion: "Huh? I obviously hit something, why is there no one?"

Excuse me, she is still an actress today.

The man didn't continue walking, but stopped in front of her, the corner of his mouth slightly raised:

"Do you think you shouldn't be able to see me?"

But Janna didn't look at him, she patted the place where she hit just now, pretended to dust off the dust, and said to herself: "Today is really unlucky, I will be hit by air when I walk on the road."

The man's eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds, and suddenly he showed a funny expression.

He suddenly grabbed a strong man who was passing by and was chewing on a hot dog.

"What are you doing?!" The strong man cursed, as if he was about to throw his fist in the next second.

Judging from his expression, he could clearly see the man in the black sweater.

"The one in your hand looks delicious, where did you buy it?"

The man was about the same height as the strong man, but he was obviously not as good in shape, but his questions were calm and steady.

The strong man wanted to break free and give him a punch, but found that the wrist that was locked could not move, and his strength could not shake the man's strength at all.

After weighing the pros and cons, he said angrily, "It's on the street behind, the shop with the red shed."

The man let go of his hand, and the strong man glanced at the clear fingerprints on his wrist, complained in a low voice and hurried away.

Janna looked at the strong man walking away, and then at the man beside her.

The light of the street lamp hit him, and a weird shadow was elongated from the bottom of his feet. Compared with his reflection, it was more like a black incarnation she had seen before, holding a sickle.

There is a shadow of him tonight.

...Can he be seen by everyone today, including her?

She recalled the act of marking herself as an acting school just now, and looked up at the sky helplessly, even though the sky was so dark that even the moon could not be seen.

He sighed again: "So I really bumped into someone just now? I'm sorry you were dressed too dark and I didn't see it for a while."
