42 Otto Octavius

Nightwing Base

My research on the serums obtained Oscorp Industries is promising as I was able to isolate all animals DNA materials that will help strengthen the human body and abilities. Mixing different animal DNA strand is currently not advisable since it will corrupt the human genetic makeup. I also have been working on reverse engineering the hulk serum and trying to fuse both OZ serum and Hulk serum. The only problem is that more research needed to be done before it is able producing the result that I want.

The new research I have is nano tech to help upgrade my weapons and costume. Currently it is still in the starting phase but it is showing huge promise. The time I had in the X-Men's Danger Room shows that I can still slowly strengthen my body and it has not reach its limit yet. So I am researching a method to build a gravity room to help with my training.

I have made some extra modification on my Nightmobile by adding hover capability by putting repulsors as repulsion to increase its speed and for flying capabilities. The idea of using Nightmobile to scare my opponents to shit in their pants excite me. I joke with Bernard about hoping my opponents wear their brown pants when they see Nightmobile.

Since I want to The Defenders to be able to protect other states in America and to slowly bring it to protect globally, I have started the project of building aircraft jet to transport the team with speed in mind.

I have been training to use my venom blast (bio electric) so that I can use it with my kicks and jumps. I also have been training to use the bio electric to strengthen my whole body but so far I am not able to last more than 1 minute of usage before tiring out due to the huge strain on the body. Since my body has accelerated healing abilities, I have been using the bio electric to help strengthen my physical body similar to muscle exercises and recovery.

....

Since this few days has been a slow one, I have been spending slightly more time in Nightwing Base training for SHIELD's test, doing my research and dealing with my homework. While I was doing my homework Bernard entered into the room saying "Excuse me, sir! Can I have a moment of your time".

"What is it, Bernard?" I replied as I turn my head toward him.

Bernard pass few tickets to me answered "Stark Industries send invitation tickets for me to attend Stark Expo next week on Friday. Do you want the tickets, sir?"

Taking the tickets, I realize that Iron man 2 from the MCEU will begin. Smiling to myself, I replied "Yes, thank you Bernard".

"I am glad to be at service to you, Sir!" Bernard replied as he continued "By the way, sir. Dr Otto Octavius will be unveiling his result of his experiment for the new energy source to me and all the board of directors of Stan Enterprise tomorrow".

Bernard confused with my reaction answered "Yes, he did do a miniature scale experiment beforehand which is successful. Tomorrow he is planning to perform a much larger scale experiment as a show of concept".

I stood in silence thinking on what I should do. Bernard with concern asked "Is there a problem, sir?".

"Ahh... err... yes! Since I can't attend the experiment, I need you to do something for me tomorrow Bernard" I replied after thinking carefully.

"Anything for you,sir" Bernard replied earnestly.

"I need you to wear the ear piece communicator tomorrow and ask Dr Otto Octavius several questions about his project before running the experiment since I have some concerns regarding the experiment" I answered as I wondered whether the project will bring in more earnings for Stan Enterprise or more trouble.

Bernard worriedly ask "Are you expecting trouble, sir?"

I quickly replied "I don't think so but just in case I will be close by".

.....

The next day.....

Waiting patiently on the roof of Stan Enterprise, I monitored the Stan Enterprise's security camera. I watch as Bernard entered the building and he is greeted by all of Stan Enterprise's employee. Seeing how everyone treat Bernard, I chuckled to myself feeling slightly amused.

From the communicator I can hear Bernard speaking with authority "Lead me to Dr Otto immediately, make sure he don't start the experiment".

"Yes sir!" answered one of the employees nervously.

Bernard walk towards the elevator and entered the elevator alone as all the employees waited outside respectfully.

I called Bernard on the communicator "You look great as the chairman".

"I glad you are enjoying yourself, sir" Bernard replied slightly irritated.

Reaching the laboratory floor, Bernard is greeted by Dr Otto Octavius.

Dr Otto approach Bernard with his hand extended "Glad you could make it, Mr Houseman"

"Dr Otto Octavius" Bernard shook his hand and walk into the laboratory.

"Mr Houseman, your employee informed me that you request the experiment to be stop immediately. Is there a problem, sir?" Otto asked feeling confused.

I quickly called out "Bernard repeat everything that I will say. Cough once if you hear me".

Bernard cough and cleared his throat.

I talk as Bernard repeated what I say "Otto based on your previous experiment of creating new fusion base energy source which is basically a creating a miniature sun, I have made several calculation that brought me huge concerns"

"There is nothing to be concern of Mr Houseman, I have done all the calculation myself. There won't be any problem" Otto answered confidently.

Bernard repeating what I say "If the miniature sun created is the same size with the previous experiment I will say that your magnetic shield generator will be enough. But you are planning to increase the size of the miniature sun without considering that heat and magnetic energy produce by the miniature sun will increase exponentially"

Otto confidently replied Bernard reassuringly "Don't worry Mr Houseman! We will be safe. The four magnetic shield generators will be able to keeps most of the heat and magnetic bursts within control.

"I am not as stupid as you think, Dr Octavius. Stan Enterprise may have only funded your research and provided Tritium without being involved with your experiment but we always keep a close eye on each projects that we have invested in to avoid accidents" Bernard said as he warn Otto

Otto was surprised with what that statement, quickly try to calm the situation down replied "I am always thankful for the support Stan Enterprise has provided in my experiment....."

"But have you considered the fact that by increasing the size of the miniature sun the magnetic force will also effect the shielding causing it to distort slightly and weakening it" Bernard interrupted Otto as he followed my lead.

Otto was deep in thought running his calculation before rushing to the white board and going through his calculation.

After a few minutes, Otto looked towards Bernard in horror "If I have continued with the experiment, I could have destroyed the whole city in minutes"

Bernard was also in shock that Stan Enterprise has avoided a huge catastrophe. I quickly woke Bernard up from his daze. I shouted "Bernard stay focus!".

"Ahhh.. Ahem... yes... I admire you for wanting to create the first source of safe, clean and cheap renewable but you must consider all possible danger when creating the device. Don't be to confident and always question yourself for possible error and problem that may arise. Take it slowly and gradually when running an experiment, Otto" Bernard repeated my words to Otto with a warning tone.

Otto looking embarrassed with his own mistake asked cautiously "Mr Houseman, should we cancel our experiment today?"

"No, we won't!" Bernard replied as he suddenly said "What! ...Ahem... No, we won't!" Bernard repeated himself flustered.

Otto looked at Bernard in shock with his mouth shape in a big 'O'.

"We will be using slightly more tritium compare to your previous experiment. Recheck the calculation just in case. Make sure all the magnetic shielding is secure in place and increase the shielding power output to match your calculation. Rather than wasting our time here sitting on our asses, we could use the data obtain from the experiment" Bernard commanded as he started sweating bullets.

Waking up from his stupor, Otto excitedly answered "Yes, Mr Houseman! Right Away!" as he quickly get to work.

Bernard quietly whispered to me "Are you sure it is safe, sir".

"No problem, I have double checked" I reassured Bernard.

After Otto quickly recheck his calculation and strengthen the shielding with great care with all his lab assistants and his wife Rosalie Octavius. Otto quickly gathered the all the directors around the giant machine to watch the experiment.

Bernard whispered to me using the communicator "Lucky we didn't bring in the press or the member of the public to watch the experiment. Stan Enterprise's reputation could have went down the drain".

Otto removed his lab coat and attach the four mechanical arms on his back. The mechanical arm is link to to his spine. The arms moved to his every command as he divided a small portion of tritium to be used fuel his miniature star.

Using the mechanical arms, he gently placed the tritium to the center of his machine. As Otto activated the machine, beams of laser shoot toward the Tritium causing nuclear fusion to slowly begin as it turn into a glowing ball of fire similar to a miniature sun.

The miniature sun finally stabilize as it stayed in place like the sun causing the everyone to clap their hand in joy and excitement as the lab assistants start recording all the data from the miniature sun. Everyone congratulated each other and is in a celebratory mood.

Both Bernard and I sighed in relief as the experiment went on without any problem. Stan Enterprise has finally develop sustainable renewable energy that is able to compete with Stark Industries, a new alternate source of energy. I just hope that by changing Dr Otto Octavius's fate, problems won't be coming to bite me in the ass.

Brotherhood of Mutant's Hidden Base somewhere in New York

Mystique is standing in front of a very large man who is as tall as Rhino with a body built similar to the Hulk. He wore a large dome like helmet that cover his whole face small open visor for him to see through. He wore heavy looking boots, a dark brown one piece sleeveless suit and two brown gauntlets.

Mystique tempting said "Magneto want to make a deal with you"

.

The huge man grumpily asked "Magneto has nothing that interest me".

"He will help you deal with your brother if you do something for him" Mystique answered temptingly causing the man to look up in interest.

"What is it?" the man asked curiously

"Juggernaut, Magneto wants you to kill Nightwing for him. Make sure you make him suffer before killing him" Mystique answered.
