[R&D Se]

  After a quick shower and breakfast with Maddie and Wanda, I made my way toward the R&D Se. Yeah, Wanda came back for breakfast and then agai, but this time, she followed Maddie to the Spa. Well, I'll swing by the spa soon enough, but for now, let's see what Sue has for me. I followed the dires oab that she left in my room, earlier. Oh, and she also left a card.

  Now, Baxter Building, it's freaking huge, maybe bigger than Avenger's base or any military plex I have seen. There were people in w suits and b suits going around the hallway and multiple rooms with puters and work benches. Each door has an individual number on it and a card reader with a name written in front of ea.

  The turrets and sensors around the building were cutting-edge. I tell that they were ade. These systems cost fortunes but sidering the fortuhey possess, these are child's py. I gnced outside and man do things down there look tiny. I'm oh floht now. There are like 35 floors.

  I stepped into the elevator and was about to use the ser to s the R&D Level 2 card Sue left behind in the room, but a young woman ran toward the elevator, nearly stumbling on the floor.

  "Please wait for me!" She gasped, clutg a thick file under her arm and holding a pair of gsses in her right hand, and a cup of coffee. I stopped the doors from closing and stepped aside as she mao get herself and the stuff she had in her hands safely into the elevator.

  "Thanks."

  I looked at the elevator operator panel. She pressed floor 32 and I swiped the card on the ser.

  "You te?" I g her.

  "Yeah," She sighed. "My car broke down and I had to catch a taxi, but theaxi knocked over a bike and they got into a fight, so, I took the subway and here I am, running te again. you believe my luck?" She took a deep breath, "I'm babbling too much, ain't I? I'm not used to talking to people much, but when I do, I 't stop myself. Just tell me if I'm b you."

  I studied her for a sed. A b coat, a ag that read 'Anna Miller'. Blonde hair, blue iris, average height, and kinda petite. Maybe I could call her cute? But something about her eyes seems kinda familiar. I 't put my finger on it. I'm pretty sure I've seen her somewhere before, but where? I don't remember meeting such a chatterbox before, yet... Humm...

  She noticed that I was studying her so she asked, "Uh... Umm... Did I spill coffee on myself? Please don't say yes, I'm already too freaked out today. And my st shirt is at the wash, so if you please, don't say that I spilled the coffee on myself, I might just freak."

  "Oh, no don't worry about that. Everything is fine. By the way, have we met before?" I said and she finally seemed to rex.

  "We... No. I don't think we have. Maybe if we have, I don't remember. And I doubt that because I don't get out much often and people say I'm pretty hard tet so, nah, I'm pretty sure we haven't met before. Though... I do get mistaken for others from time to time, well, mainly my twin sister. It's embarrassing, really. And I'm starting to get embarrassed. So yeah, let's shut me up before I start bbbering, okay?" She nervously babbled a out another breath of relief after she realized that she'd once again done something silly, or so I could deduce based on her expression.

  "Well, okay," I wasirely vinced, but I still asked, "So, what do you do here?"

  "Oh, I'm a researcher in the Robotics se, though, I'm thinking of transferring to Bio Research eics department if I find someone who's willing to take me as their apprehere is so much that we could do in those fields and that's where the real revolution is happening..."

  [Ding!] The elevator stopped on floor 32 and the door opened before she could tinue.

  "Here's my stop. I'll get out of your hair and leave you alone... I'm gonna stop rambling and stop doing that, now..." She blurted out and hurriedly rushed out of the elevator, "See ya around! Well, maybe!" She shouted from outside and vanished around the er.

  "Umm, yeah, see you, around, Miss Anna Miller."

  She left without even asking me for my name, and I have a feeling that she doesn't even realize what she did. Or maybe she did it deliberately... I hope she didn't. Geez, still 't remember where I saw her so-called twin sister.

  The elevator door closed once again and opened on the floor. Floor 33. This must be the R&D Se that Sue asked me to e to. I followed the instru and headed to the b number 13.

  Walking around the floor, I passed by several people in a b coat, all going to and fro around the hallway, in front of the Lab doors.

  Dang! This floor looks even more futuristic thaher one. Everything looks so and every room is filled with teology, obviously, only the techs that are still iesting and development phase and not yet ercialized or out on the market. I walked to b 13's doors and the ser on the door sed my fad card. Then the door opened.

  It was a big room. But the thing is there weren't many techs around like those other rooms. Instead, it looks like a field test ground. You say it's like a giant room with reinforced walls. I'm pretty sure, one fire an RPG ihe room and only a few would have noticed. And the walls have some kind of weird light blue coating c them. Big crates were lying around the room and there was a big covered square-shaped stand on the right side.

  However, there weren't any cameras in the room. I used my magic to search the room, but no bugs, mics, or cameras.

  Sue came walking toward me. She was wearing a white dress underh the b coat with the top buttons of her shirt open, and gsses on her eyes. Hehe, I dig that. She was holding a cup of coffee.

  Well, other thawo of us, there was no one else.

  "This room looks way too secure, but I don't see any cameras," I asked her as I took another look around.

  "Of course, there aren't any of those surveilhings in my fort zone," Sue nodded, smiling.

  "fort zone? A reinforced shelter-like room, you kidding?" I chuckled and so did Sue.

  "Oh, no, this is just one side. I test certain things from time to time. , let me show you something good," Sue oward the covered stand and began to walk toward the stand and I followed her.

  Reag there, Sue turoward me, "You ready?"

  "Yup, pull it," I eagerly nodded.

  Sue grabbed the cloth that was on top of the stand and ya down.

  "Behold! I call it: NanoWeave Suit V1. Vibranium nanoteology, plus added molecur armor threads. In short, it will allow you to manipute the suit's structure on the fly. You morph the suit's appearand funality to adapt to different bat sarios, such as f extra limbs for increased maneuverability eing energy shields for added defense..." Sue expined with a proud tone.

  "I'm guessing there are more..." I crossed my arms, studying the futuristic red and blue-looking bodysuit while raising my brow and turning toward Sue. I've got a good feeling about this.

  "Of course, the suit could turn pletely transparent and give you camo properties, you'll also be able to fly a short distand release the absorbed kiiergy back at the enemy, and then there are ied onry and obviously your web shooters."

  "Sweet!" I smiled and couldn't resist letting out a gasp of excitement, "izable web shooters?"

  "Yeah," Sue chuckled, "Four indepe cartridge-loaded unchers, over/under mounted on your wrist. These cartridges hold Vibranium posite and a little twist from me, so they'll never run out. You've got jumbo web bombs, impact web, web, taser webs, and many more. You'll need some time to adapt to the system sihere are too many options. I'd reend you to train first before wearing it on the field."

  The suit at first gnce looks like a normal skintight textured suit. If I were to tell you how it looks, the's say a fusion of Iron Suit and Mark IV.
