American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

"Where are we going now? What's with this lizard man? Didn't you bring me to see Dr. Connors?"

Gwen looked at Roy with a puzzled expression.

"We're heading out of the city now. This lizardman is Dr. Connors," Roy replied quickly without hesitation.

What?

How is that possible?

Gwen was taken aback and quickly turned to look at the sand that was following behind them, tightly enveloping Dr. Connors.

Although Roy had told her at noon that Dr. Connors might have already produced serum containing lizard DNA.

But she still couldn't quite accept that the lizardman who fought Roy was the refined and gentle Dr. Connors.

As far as she knew, the serum that Dr. Connors was researching would only give people the ability to regenerate severed limbs like lizards.

After calming herself down a bit, she quickly guessed the reason.

side effect!

Dr. Connors's research on lizard serum has serious side effects!

Gwen didn't waste time thinking about it and asked Roy, "Is it because of the serum's side effects?"

"That's right, do you remember the performance-enhancing drugs you were injected with before?"

Roy then asked Gwen a question in return.

"Of course I remember!"

Gwen nodded.

"The performance-enhancing drug you were injected with was not developed by Stark; he only made subsequent optimizations and improvements."

"The initial physical enhancement drugs also had serious side effects."

"I specifically sought him out and had him eliminate the side effects of the medication."

Roy said slowly and deliberately.

That's it!

After a moment's thought, Gwen asked curiously, "What were the side effects of the initial potion?"

"Violent tendencies, aggression, and a state of madness!"

Roy decided not to hide it from Gwen and told her about the side effects.

Gwen quickly recalled the changes in her mindset and mental state after injecting the physical enhancement drug and becoming a superhuman.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had not shown any such signs.

Although she didn't speak, Roy guessed what she was thinking the moment she fell silent, and said with a smile, "Although biotechnology isn't Stark's main area of ​​research, he's a polymath."

"Not to mention using biotechnology to enhance the user's physical attributes, if he wanted to, he could even create a machine that allows safe time travel."

Gwen smiled gently and said softly, "When did you become so familiar with him?"

"I saw in the news that he not only likes women, but also men; he's a typical bisexual. You guys wouldn't...?"

Before Gwen could finish speaking, Roy interrupted her, saying seriously, "He is him, and I am me. I only like women."

"Also, just a heads up, I've found Dr. Connors as you requested, and you'll be paying the commission soon."

Gwen was taken aback at first.

Immediately afterwards, the fair face under the mask turned bright red.

Roy stopped teasing her and focused on manipulating the sand cloud beneath his feet and the sand enveloping Dr. Connors.

More than ten minutes later.

They arrived above a forest outside the city.

Roy randomly chose a deserted grassy area to land.

He didn't immediately remove the sand bindings, but turned to Gwen and said, "The lizard serum's energy is depleted, and Dr. Connors has now reverted to human form."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Gwen asked, puzzled.

"Whether it's good or bad is another matter, but when he transformed into a lizardman, he wasn't wearing any clothes."

Roy reminded Gwen of something.

Gwen immediately realized: "You mean, he's naked now that he's back in human form?"

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

"Take something from your storage space to cover him up."

After saying that, Gwen turned her back to the sand that was enveloping Dr. Connors.

Roy didn't waste any more time and released the effects of the sand-bound coffin.

Before the sand flew back to the gourd at his waist, he made it spin in the air like a sand tornado for a while, "cleaning" it up.

He clearly remembered that when Dr. Connors in the movie transformed back into human form, the flesh and blood tissue generated by the lizard serum would age and decompose rapidly, producing some decomposition products.

He didn't mind the sand being stained with blood.

But he had no intention of letting the sand, along with these disgusting decomposed flesh and blood, return to the gourd.

Freed from the sand's binding and restraints, Dr. Connors, now in human form, naked with the skin on his left cheek resembling that of a lizard, appeared in his line of sight.

The current lizard serum is not yet perfect and cannot allow Dr. Connors to permanently maintain his lizard-man form.

In addition, the three regenerations of the arms consumed most of the serum's energy in a short period of time, greatly shortening the transformation time.

Roy approached Dr. Connors, took a blanket from his system space, and tossed it to him.

Dr. Connors looked at the blanket in front of him with a puzzled expression and said to Roy, "Weren't you going to kill me?"

"If I wanted to kill you, you would die the moment you saw me."

Roy replied.

Dr. Connors glanced around and continued, "Then why did you bring me here?"

"Don't go back to New York. Go wherever you want."

"If you dare to cause trouble in New York again, next time I won't chop off your hands, I'll chop off your head."

"Finally, since you haven't caused any injuries or deaths yet, here's a piece of advice: losing an arm won't affect your intelligence; you're still a top scientist."

"Some things, once lost, are lost forever. Holding on to them too much will only hurt you."

After saying that, Roy turned and walked towards Gwen, collecting the sand from Sand Cloud back into the gourd.

Upon reaching Gwen, he grabbed her waist and decisively used his Thor's Flight ability to return from the forest to Gwen's bedroom.

"Thank you," Gwen said to Roy, removing her mask and hat.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I'm not some kind of psychopathic killer."

"No matter what, he was your internship mentor and taught you some knowledge."

Although Dr. Connors was undoubtedly a dangerous person and a supervillain after being injected with lizard serum, that was because his rationality was affected by the side effects of the serum.

Prior to this, Dr. Connors was considered a very good mentor.

Take Gwen as an example.

Before Gwen graduated, he gave her a lot of advice on applying to college and offered to help write letters of recommendation.

Recalling Dr. Connors's previous guidance, Gwen sighed, took off her red cloud robe, and returned the robe, hat, and mask to Roy, saying softly, "It's getting late, you should go back and get some rest."

Roy put the red robe and bamboo hat back into his system space, raised an eyebrow at Gwen, and said with a smile, "Someone hasn't paid the commission yet."

Gwen's face immediately turned bright red, and she quickly said, "I definitely won't go back on my word. It's not convenient tonight, let's talk about it later."

"I think it's quite convenient now, your parents and brothers are all asleep."

"As long as you don't make too much noise, you don't have to worry about waking them up."

"Of course, if you feel shy here, you can come to my place."

Hearing Roy's words, Gwen's face turned even redder.

After a dozen seconds, she lowered her head and whispered, "Go to your place, but remember to bring me back before dawn."

"good!"

Without any hesitation, Roy immediately picked Gwen up and carried her back to the bedroom of the Upper East Side villa using the Flying Thunder God technique.
