Chapter 141 - [AT] My Abilities...

[After Transition]

Batman returns to the topic at hand, the topic being my abilities and him wanting to know as much as possible about them. "The white van, tell me about it. What really happened that day." He asks and I guess I have no other option to tell him but I'm glad that at least by clearing this upon no one is gonna believe I slept in a refrigerator surround by meat that I pissed on apart from Commissioner Gordon who won't be privy to this conversation, and so I told the entire truth about what happened to me that day when I was 10 and put into the back of that white van and most of what I had told him previously was correct apart from a few things which I had to clear up first being the fact that there was no one else in the back of the white van except me and that there was no other person in the back and so when we arrive at the factory as soon as the back doors opened I smashed a fist into the matrons face and kicked the drug dealer in the balls before making a run for it but I didn't get far when the drug dealer shot me in the leg and then I was dragged inside and they forced me into a meat grinder and when next I woke I was in the back of a truck in a fridge surrounded by meat on all sides and so when I saw my chance I ran and that's how I ended up on the streets of New York at night cover in blood, with that cleared up it wasn't too hard to make some connection such as the fact that I was turned into minced meat and then packaged before bing put in the fridge and that my regeneration was so powerful that my meat ripped out of the packages and joined back together to reform me or the more horrifying idea of the fact that there was a big chunk of me that started to regenerate out of a single plastic bag which would mean the rest of my meat was left in the back of the truck and people have probably eaten it by now but I'd rather not think about that and believe in the first theory but either way Batman now knows what really happened that day and consequently knows just how powerful my healing factor is and while some may think revealing that is idiotic he already knew either way and if he knew then I'd rather have the full width of the ability being seen by him so I can actually use it and not be suspicious when he eventually finds out that I lied to him so this is the better way plus I don't want to constantly hide since this is my new life and I wanna live it differently to how I f.u.c.k.e.d up things back in Marvel.

"Hmm, I suppose that would explain why you were so obsessed with the matron and the drug dealer since they gave you the worst experience of your life. Your abilities seem quite powerful as well to regenerate yourself back up from strips of yourself though we don't know how long that actually took or the time frame, you've had your abilities since you were five years old so tell me what you've learnt about them in the past thirteen years. I need to know your powers, whether they are harmful to you or others, if you are in control of them and I need to ascertain whether you are a threat to anyone which means I have to get a grasp on your mindset and your mental health and stability which will start with you and me talking about your powers and also whether or not you may endanger anyone else or be in danger yourself due to your abilities, I need to know everything." Batman says after I've finished telling him the truth and after taking a few seconds to digest what I've said and obviously coming up with suspicions and conclusions in his head he demands for me to tell him everything I know about my abilities though I get the feeling that the last thing he said really encompasses his entire personality because he needs to know everything and in this instance I wouldn't mind telling him about the full scope of my abilities since I want to be rather free and unfettered in my new life rather than how paranoid and worried I was in Marvel though I will still keep some of that mindset as this place isn't sunshine and butterflies, knowing that Bruce Wayne was waiting for me to get on with it and start telling him my abilities and since he's given me such a nice stage to present some aspects of myself I shall endeavour to use it to the best of my ability to aid my own narrative and goals and if I can add some extra information which will definitely be going in his database as I can use it to give myself some more freedom.

"My abilities huh, well first of all I have a lot of abilities but I only have one superpower which is an advanced healing factor but this superpower comes with a whole range of advantages and abilities as side effects all of which are pretty awesome. First of all it keeps me permanently in perfect health which means my strengths and my skills can be at their peak levels for as long as I'm alive, it also means I don't need to sleep because my body is always fresh and energetic so I don't get tired though that doesn't include mental strain so I do still sleep but only when I have to and the rest of the time I can do whatever and I have so much more time than everyone else that I can use to pick up new skills or something, I also have some enhanced strength because all humans have hysterical strength like when a mother lifts a car to save her child though her muscles and tendons would tear but I would be fine and regenerate it instantly so I can use that hysterical strength all the time though it doesn't even compare to someone like Superman though I can still push myself to some crazy levels compared to a normal human this also includes enhanced speed and enhanced jumping since I can run faster without worrying about my limits and move and act faster as well. I also have enhanced senses as well since all of my body is in peak physical condition including my senses which means I have perfect hearing, eyesight and smell so I'm more in tune with the world around me and notice more of it than others because as people get older the more there senses get damaged even someone twenty years old but I don't have that problem and so my body is perfect which means it can also be amazing at everything as well so my accuracy and aim are perfect which I learned while playing some first person shooters as I always get headshots and I'm pretty much the best at anything that involves hand-eye coordination and this also applies to my intelligence as my brain processing power is also enhanced since my brain is in perfect physical condition at all times so I'm extra aware of my surroundings and I can process it all much faster though that does get annoying sometimes as babies and alarms really annoy me, possibly my most useful ability is that I can't get fat and I'm an appropriate weight for my body type because I don't sleep and I'm in perfect health which means I need to burn a lot of calories which means I can eat all the food I want to and I don't have to even go to the dentist since even if my teeth did rot away I'd just grow new ones and not get fat though if you didn't find me under that building when you did them I don't know what would've happened to me as I hadn't eaten anything and my regeneration was working nonstop so thank you for that, in fact a lot of the maintenance a lot of other people have to do everyday like brushing your teeth I don't have to do since I'm constantly regenerating and so I have more time in the day for other stuff. Oh and also I've never been sick or gotten any disease or anything, I'm constantly in perfect health and shape as some ladies can attest to." I finish telling him all of the abilities of my advanced healing factor which are all in actuality true, there were somethings I'm keeping to myself because they would be more hassle then they are worth and would only cause trouble.

In actuality everything I've said is true and while others might see it as a f.u.c.k up to tell him about this I see it as a way to increase my worth in his eyes and lessen his suspicion as well as gain more freedom to act when I want to instead of staying my hand as I wouldn't be afraid of showing some strength (definitely not all my strength though) and not only that but these things compound on top of my spider powers as well and enhance them to another level which means my strength and speed is enhanced nearly tenfold due to my advanced healing factor and not only that but so are my senses though that is definitely annoying when it comes to large sounds and bad smells I've actually gotten used to processing it with my enhanced processing capability (because my Brian is constantly in perfect health which has only made me smarter) and dealing with it straight away which must be some kind of side effect from the merge for some reason but it's definitely annoying with large alarms and bad smells since they are ten times worse for me but unfortunately I haven't had time to actually treat the limits of my new power as I was afraid I've been being watched since I first met with Batman so there's not a lot I could do but these are somethings I've noticed and made logical conclusions about, I've tried to avoid the immortality (or maybe living for a very long time) aspect of my powers since that would just complicate stuff and I've also not mentioned how I can be used to help medical research in regards to critiques and diseases since while it may be good in the short term in the long term it's a disaster and could possibly spell out the end of humanity so I'm gonna be avoiding that. "You forgot to mention the immortality, you also have that. Or is it just a longer lifespan then is feasible for other humans since you are still again just a lot slower than other people, you can even be killed so it's a false/pseudo immortality." Batman speaks out and I kinda expected this since the guys so smart but I really hoped he would miss it, it seems I was hoping for the impossible.

"Yeah, I did forget to mention that. I'd rather not think about it to be honest since questions of morality can often get you down especially with my ability, I'd rather focus on my intense regeneration which allows me to regrow everything for limbs to organs as well as the fact the with my advanced healing factor I can never get sick or diseased since I fight off all viruses and diseases easily." I speak out hoping to divert him from that topic since I am actually quite worried about it and I'd rather not think about it right now, I suddenly hearing some steps on the walkway behind me coming toward us and so I spin around to see who it was.

"Wow, you have an advanced healing factor and can easily beat off viruses and diseases, do you know what this means? You can cut out your organs and give them to people who need them because you can just regenerate another one, you could end all diseases and virus related death on the planet because we could just infect you with them and your regeneration would fight it off and create antibodies which could be used to save millions or maybe even billions of lives. Nick, you could stop so much death with your abilities it's amazing!" The over excited form of Barbara Gordon currently dressed as Batgirl with her cowl off is making her way towards us while also bringing up other topics I had wished to avoid, this is gonna be difficult to explain properly why I can't just do what she thinks I can...
