Chapter 11: Biotech Behind Our Eyes
EVO CLINIC- UPPER WEST SIDE INSTALLATION:
"So, you're the man who's paying for this." an orderly whispered.
Norman Osborne nodded as he watched the medical personnel operate on Felicia Hardy.
"You'll be pleased to know that so far, she's been doing well. So far, we've completed muscle augmentation and toning, plus psi-programming."
"What's next?" Norman asked.
"Orthoskin and cat's eyes. After that, enhanced hearing, echolocation augmentations, and retractable climbing claws."
"Excellent. Anything else you want to tell me?"
"Not really."
"Thank you for your time, miss."
As Norman left, the orderly handed him a flash drive.
"Sir, this was found in the patient's clothes."
"Excellent. I'll be on my way."
And with that, Norman Osborne headed back to his apartment.
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Here's what Black Cat's augmentations do (and if you're wondering where I got the ideas for these, I got them out of Shadowrun sourcebooks.):
Orthoskin: Provides the equivalent of personal armor while being virtually indistinguishable from unaugmented skin. This is off-set by some loss of touch sensitivity.
Cat's eyes: Provides low-light vision. They look like cat's eyes, hence the name.
Muscle augmentation and toning: Increases her strength and agility.
Psi-programming: Gives her the ability to affect probability fields and a form of ESP similar to Peter and Mary Jane's "spider-sense".
Enhanced hearing: Self-explanatory.
Echolocation: Self-explanatory.
Retractable climbing claws (cybernetic augmentation): Short and hooked metallic claws that extend from her fingertips to aid in climbing. They're also a good weapon.
