Sentiment [2/3]

"I promise!" Wenji jumped around on the bed and ran toward his dresser filled with clothes. He quickly pulled out a mini doctor's coat with his glasses and a stethoscope around his neck.

"Hahaha, I forgot about it, look at this handsome man, I can barely tell who you are!"

Wenji was flattered and blushed before cockily puffing his chest and flicking his nose.

"This is nothing, l have the Blackwell blood running through my veins after all."

"You're right, you're going to make a fine, doctor Blackwell." She laughed at his embarrassment and admired her son's passion to learn about her experiment, still it was embarrassing for her to think about.

"OK, champ, here's what going to happen. Your mom's research is under strict regulation and I need to follow the directive of the B.M.A on some matter. Technically I shouldn't, be showing you this, however…"

While speaking, she could see the confusion on his eyebrows.

"Well… Mommy isn't supposed to show anyone her research…" She watched the happiness fall on his face. "But, for a certain doctor Blackwell, I might be able to"

"YEAH!"

"Shhhhh, you know how serious your dad is with rules, make sure he doesn't know about this, ok?"

Wenji zipped his lips and nodded furiously.

"Hmm, good now let's make a decoy and place it in your bed so your dad still thinks you're in bed." Elizabeth was childish at heart and after squeezing all his limbs, she started to use a teddy bare and shape it into his size as best as possible.

She was strong, so a simple squeeze was enough to get it to the correct size. Elizabeth had a knack for this, especially since it included trickery, she took extra care.

The room was dimmed and she even left a sleepy voice recording of Wenji that reacted to noise. It was all set.

"Let's go now…." she whispered before lifting him and walking outside. She scanned for anyone nearby and suddenly her figure flickered. She barely reappeared for a full second anywhere else until she reached her research lab.

She looked in the scanner with both here eyes and her tongue as well as her ten fingers.

"Everything is better in the morning like a slice of pizza."

Beep Beep!

Dwoosh!

The door opened into the ceiling and Elizabeth hurried him inside quickly and the door shut behind them.

It was dark inside, Wenji couldn't even see his hand in front of his face. Make matters worst, he let go of his mother's hand.

'Just wait a second only, there are some uhh, really sensitive errr apparatus! That's it, I'm cleaning it up". Elizabeth sounded quite frantic and smashed her toe into every little thing, which she yelled curses each time.

"There! All done!" She finally flicked on the light. It was a relatively large room, which was 10 by 20 meters. The room had many different metal desks covered in messy notes and ripped paper. The book were all scattered within a meter of each other all across the floors.

He saw a whole wall of different apparatuses, while some were being used, being left overnight. A different area showed lumps of flesh that were all contained within fluids, some of them pulsated vivaciously, like a beating heart.

Wenji's eyes were gleaming and then came a barrage of questions.

"I was trying to use my blessing to create a heart... Well more like enhance it and its functions. It's a delicate process, still, it won't work on a normal body, the body would need to be made with the right conditions, like an immune system that won't attack the influx of white blood cells that would be inside the body.

it would be tricky, to make a human from scratch. It is the grand scheme of things. That is just a portion and the easiest to figure out with all this. Impulses and nerves signal a body that is not just resistant to disease but incapable of contracting diseases and decreasing the rate of ageing."

Elizabeth was used to being in the lab by herself. After veering off a little, she imagined herself to be talking in her mind.

"Forget what I said, it's just a pig's heart" Elizabeth giggled while sweating the fact she wantonly shared B.M.A secret to her four-year-old son.

"Is a body like that possible? A human is more than just flesh mom"

Elizabeth stopped her awkward laugh and looked at him seriously.

"Mom always heals people, so creating a new heart to make people strong might not possible. In Gaget man, he was really strong with all his gadgets, but when he stole the super potion to make himself stronger he died. Maybe it's better just to add some cool stuff to it!"

Elizabeth's jaw touched the ground.

"Son that was mommy's, thinking, that heart over there already has a lot of modifications, I want to see the full potential of its genes mom were to make modifications to people and give them that heart..."

"Mom wants to create superheroes!"

her face went black a little and realized she was talking to her four-year-old son.

"Well yes, but mom's work is too hard. The heart is still unstable in many aspects if someone patted you on the chest, it might stop working. Also, humans are a long way from evolving suitable anatomy for this research"

"Well that's fine, that's what makes experimenting and research fun! We can give everyone super hearts!"

Elizabeth helplessly nodded at her son's optimism. She eventually started showing him details of her research and watched him gloss over them and pretend to understand some words.

After the initial hype, Wenji finally calmed down and had time to think.

"Mom, why do you research this stuff"

"Well, during the Eve of Chaos, I saw people that would die no matter what. You could have burned them to a crisp or decapitated them or blast them into space, they were incapable of dying, no matter what means you tried.

Their skin was harder than the hardest tungsten and it covered their whole body like armour. Even their eyes were harder than diamond and they regenerated regardless of their wounds.

They hardly fought. After people released their strongest attacks, some would either kill themselves or lay on their back in surrender. "

After describing the gruesome detail she looked over and saw Wenji filled with tears.

"Mom! why are you scaring me! Are those men real? I don't want them to take me." He started bawling his eyes out.

"Ah?! Shit my big mouth, I'm not used to thinking in my head... I, I'm sorry, Wenji look at me all those bad me are gone, so don't worry, believe it your mom managed to take care of them."

"Huh?! Just one?"

"W-well, yeah, don't worry about the others, they are probably cowering in some corner, HAHAHA."

Elizabeth's confidence radiated toward Wenji making him feel better.

---

Wenji was able to roam around the lab a little for himself. He couldn't understand most books which led to him being bored. Along the walls of the lab, there was a storage unit that seemed to be overfilled with stuff.

Being curious he went.

the lock wasn't properly fasted and he managed to pull it out. He lifted it eagerly like a pirate finding treasure.

Inside he never saw anything much. Only dozens of long plastic sticks that were stretchy, It wasn't alone, there were other parts of the body as well, but not as much as the large rubber sticks he found.

He swung it like a sword and decided to keep it.

He looked a little more in the storage and found a bookmarked, Measurements.

"7 inches, 4 inches, 6 inches, 40-inch waste..."

A Wenji said a few words out loud, and his mother Elizabeth stood up straight with a reddened face. She flashed over to Junya sweeping everything from his hands in a single motion. She quickly slammed the storage door hard which dented it inwardly.

"Why were you going through that?!!"

Wenji still stood dumbfounded not knowing what he did wrong. His eyes started to fill with tears.

"I only wanted to help mom, I didn't mean to m, mess I, it u,u, up, I-I'm sorryyyy" Quickly the wails started to come along with tears.

Elizabeth felt slightly guilty since he didn't know what anything he held was and why she needed them. Wenji was already hiccuping madly, feeling guilty that he messed with his mother's work, which was all he could think based on her heated reaction.

'What the hell am I doing, he must be thinking he messed something up. He's not old enough to know what they are yet. What's wrong with you Elizabeth, he is only 4!'

Starting to feel guilty she hugged him tightly in her arm which calmed him down within seconds.

"I'm sorry mom..."

"Wenji I'm going to show you mom's biggest secret, ok? So make sure not to tell anyone"

He sniffled in his shirt and cleaned his face.

"Really?"

"Mmm-hm! Come here, but you can't be afraid ok?" Elisabeth warned, yet Wenji agreed.

Elizabeth nodded and lifted the storage unit with a single and showing hundred of stairs below.

"Mom, what's..."

Follow me..."

Wenji did as asked and followed. She had an electric torch in her hand which lit the path in front of them. They descended into a room that was pitch black as always.

"Don't be scared" Elizabeth took her eclectic torch and placed it on the ground. Within seconds, the energy passed the wide array of patterns to illuminate the room.

While pretty it was horrifying.

Large blobs of flesh were moving around in preservatives and squirming and shaking aggressively to the sensitive light. The more Wenji looked, the more human-like feature he could see don't he blobs.

While his gaze was preoccupied the lights went on to illuminate another 100 meters of tanks with an equal amount of subjects.

"Mom, what is all this..."

Elizabeth never answered immediately, then explained.

"These are subjects Wenji, they are all a part of a secret experiment I decided to conduct. My blessing is the God of Healing, so it means I can perform all aspects of healing. However, there is a sacred branch of healing that I've come to realize is greatly taboo.

Transmogrify."

Elizabeth's scary face lacked any semblance of the mother Wenji once knew. It was a stone-cold glare which seemed to be recollecting traumatic events.

"Transmogrify is a branch of healing that had been turned into an act of punishment. Its core practice lies in the ability to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque or humorous effects. However, while testing it, it completely transformed the person into a clump of meat with everything twisted and turned inside out.

I realized then something was wrong. Transmogrify can shape human bodies and sculpt them from existing flesh that already exists. However, someone reverse its effects and made it impossible to use it for its intended purpose.

During the Eve of Chaos, there were many people with missing appendages that I wished to use transmogrification to create new flesh from their old ones.

Sadly, with the first touch, flesh grew and an uncontrollable rate. It was something beyond my control and because of that, many people died because of me..."

Wenji felt the pain in his mothers voice, It was too tense for him to speak.

"It's a horrific ability, even I'm not proud to have it. If only someway I could reverse the ability to its original state... Through all my studies I found that if you were able to mould all the flesh quickly enough then you could gain the same results.

It can be looked at as a shortcut of some kind."

"So that's why all their penises look so crooked? Is that what those things in the storage were?"

"Well, uhh...that was the idea. I'm getting better though" Elizabeth became bright red then calmed when she saw her son wasn't judging her.

"No mom, it looks like he was dragged at the back of a truck"

"Well thanks, for that confidence boosts Junya." Elizabeth's facepalmed herself, but Wenji spoke again.

"Mom, why are you telling me all this scary stuff."

"..."

"Well son, the world is not the same as it use to be. I did some horrible things during Eve of Chaos, whether it was by accident or on purpose. I might not have another chance to show you my research.

People cursed your mom as they died and vowed revenge. I didn't want to leave without letting you see the other side of me. I'm your mom, but to someone else, I was just a murderer..."

She never looked at Wenji, in fear of seeing a look of disgust in his eyes.

"Well, I'm glad that my mom is here. I know that she fought for our family. So I"m glad, I don't understand anything other than that..." Wenji replied. " But why does mom seem so sad, your safe now. Is something going to happen"

Elizabeth looked into his eyes and still saw the innocence in his eyes. She broke down in tears seeing that she never viewed him differently, which was something she struggled with while researching. She knew the reprecussions to her image would be grave, when eventually all this came out.

"I'm glad that you're my son, I'm sorry for bringing this up"

"That's fine mom... but I think I peed myself" Wenji's fear made him lose control of his bladder and soiled his pants.
