Chapter 5

Nineteen hundred and fourteen came, which marked the beginning of the First World War. But due to the fact that we were in America, it did not affect us, because it was mostly in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. But I still planned to participate in it, since I needed it for my own purposes.

Now I am working on a new radiator with which it will be possible to irradiate with radiation. I need this in order to spur my own regeneration. After all, radiation also harms the body? It does. But before that, I still checked how my body reacts to a small dose. The result was ambiguous. No, after a few minutes, my ability completely removed the radiation, although the progress scale did not move.

I thought that this was due to the fact that she did not have time to harm the body, so this happened. But, in this way, I managed to understand that my sister and I are not afraid of radiation... in small quantities. I don't know what will happen with extensive radiation, but I know for sure that I will be able to survive after this. Although I'm not sure about Victoria.

I recently found out that even though our mutational genes have the same abilities, they have their own differences. For example, her senses are more acute, and she herself has more animal traits, while I, on the contrary, have less developed these traits than she does. I also tested our ability to regenerate — at the same time I made cuts on our palms and timed it. My wound healed in five seconds, and the girl's in ten.

After conducting a couple more such experiments, I made some conclusions. First — my regeneration factor is about two and a half times higher than hers. Secondly, our abilities have not yet been fully revealed to us and are still developing. And third — I will never let my sister taste my blood again. And it's all the fault of her more developed feelings than I have. I underestimated them. She was completely blown away when she just smelled my blood, and when she licked it… Anyway, we spent two days in my lab having sex.

I also had a theory that there are simply no identical abilities in the world, even among relatives. No, there may be very similar ones, but there are absolutely no identical ones. And yes, there are already a lot of people like my sister and me in the world. Mutants began to appear in the middle of the nineteenth century and so far they are less than one percent of the total population of the Earth, but in a year so two thousandth, the ratio will no longer be so insignificant.

Some of them we met in underground arenas. Such people usually had power abilities, for example, the transformation of some part of the body into metal or something else. After their fights, I collected particles of their body, such as blood or hair, and examined them. Well, I was looking for a way to combine them, what can I hide. I could use the ability to turn my bone claws into something simpler, yes.

Three years ago, I decided to move to Brooklyn in New York, because that's where Captain America will be born and it all starts with him. At least that's what I remember, but I may be wrong, because over the years my memory of my past world has faded somewhat and I have to strain to remember what will happen there in the future. Yes, I can't even remember the name of this hero, so I will focus on the dates of the Second World War, where Captain America will manifest himself.

So, in Brooklyn, I decided to start a company in order to somehow legalize my developments and research. We had enough money, and at any time we could earn any amount. My sister took over the management, and I continued to invent something and promote it. We decided to name our brainchild "Regen-Industries". The logo was made to look like a snake that is wrapped around a blade, which in turn cuts in half a circle that resembles the Earth itself. The snake itself has a similarity with DNA.

We started with the fact that we built a hospital where we treated those diseases for which the world has not yet come up with a treatment. And what? I invented all the vaccines and vaccinations myself, and it doesn't matter that I knew the very idea of their existence from my past world, the main thing is that I didn't know their composition, so everything is honest.

Soon our company began to expand, and its price began to grow. But she did it only at the expense of medicine, since I did not publish weapons in principle. Yes, even my identity was a secret for many, since everyone thought that my sister was in charge of everything. Well, to some extent it was, because I gave all the orders through her.

My laboratory was created precisely thanks to my sister and my company. Also, because of this, many scientists turned their attention to the person who created all this. Many scientists began to come to us to demonstrate their developments and ask for funding. Of course, we did not take all of them, since we had contradictions with some of them because of their views on inventions. For example, the same weapon — we did not create such a thing.

In nineteen sixteen, I was still able to complete my emitter and, having prepared everything, decided to test it right away. It was impossible to test its effect on animals, since radiation destroyed their body, so I conducted an experiment on the best experimental subject-myself. The device itself looked like a natural cannon, in front of which it was even scary to get up.

But I created it myself, extracted it myself and ordered the necessary materials, so I know that it poses a danger only to the living... Yes, I couldn't cheer myself up. Going inside the isolated room, I climbed into the capsule and gave the go-ahead. My sister and only she was behind the shielded glass now, since this experiment had to be carried out away from other people's eyes.

The capsule closed and the emitter in front of me began to charge. As the seconds ticked by, I closed my eyes and watched the progress bar in my upper-right corner of my vision. Finally, the waiting time came to an end and a column of green light hit the capsule's opening from above. In the beginning it was ... cold, then I was thrown into a fever, and then my skin began to peel off. This was not included in my calculations.

Thank my foresight, before all this, I took a shock dose of painkillers and now I feel only small tingles all over my body, otherwise I would be yelling at the whole complex right now. After all, after the skin, the rest of the insides of my body began to collapse. Only at this moment, my regeneration factor came into play, which began to restore everything that had already been destroyed.

After five minutes, the effect of the painkiller began to come to an end, and I felt an unbearable burning sensation all over my body and inside. But I achieved the main thing — the progress of the scale slowly, but began to rise.
