Chapter 13
Septimus was watching Alley through the camera they placed in the lab. He shook his head to her methods as she wrote down on the whiteboard. "It makes no sense! She is writing music lyrics!" he announced. His anger only grew. "And she's eating the samples! We have limited amounts of monster cells as it is, and she's eating them!"
The other clones in the room checked and made certain he wasn't seeing things. "She is, stranger still, she figured out Tiger wasn't what he claimed to be in mere moments of his release into her lab!" said Dex.
"She is far brighter than I give her credit for. Even for the daughter of a martial artist and that of a Brawler… hmmm, did we not look into the genealogy of the Brawler family?" questioned Septimus.
"Indeed we did, samples were difficult to obtain due to the fact that nearly the whole family was killed. Many years ago the family was fighting a monster, nearly all were killed but one. The daughter." Said Secundus.
"Whose is now tainted with the monster genetics thanks to Garou," explained Quartus.
"And yet, you can still see the adaptability of both bloodlines within their on daughter and the sons for that matter." Septimus paused. "I don't think we will be needing Miss Brawler for her mind anymore gentlemen. I think we need her as a sample for our projects. Imagine what she can produce for us, one so young and blessed with genes not seen anywhere else…"
"Are you suggesting we breed her?" asked Dex. "She will not agree nor comply with such a demand."
"Not unless we find her the proper mate." Septimus paused and then smiled. "We need that Suiryu fellow. He has been courting her for some time, perhaps if we make it so they don't have a choice in the matter…"
"Very ambitious, but are we not forgetting the mother and father? What if they come looking for her?" said Dex.
Septimus paused. "In that case, we need to move the facility. Inform Tiger that the situation has changed, we will require Miss Brawler to stop her research and be read to move immediately."
The clones nodded and began to prepare. Most of their research is contained in the computers and systems, easily downloaded and transferred to flash drive devices. The lab will be destroyed as they leave so no other can see what they have been working on. "It's a shame." Said Secundus. "We haven't been able to get the other heroes to come along with us. We have contracts to fulfill, and if we do not. The Heroes Association agents in on this, will come and expose us!"
Septimus wasn't too concerned. "No, I have a feeling they will come to us far sooner than later. It's just a matter of time!" He stood from his seat and assisted the others with the packing.
