Upgrade

Defenders Base

POV : Nightwing

The Defenders except Black Cat are in the training room, running through the obstacles courses to test their limits before meeting me one at a time to get their enhancement and equipment. In the previous meeting, The Defenders have provided me all the information regarding their abilities, the experiment that they went through to get their powers and the equipment that they needed.

After nearly one week of preparation with the help from Oracle and Bernard, I am able to meet all the Defender's needs. Oracle is linked to numerous robotic arms similar to Iron Man's robot assembling workshop in Wing Base to help complete all my ongoing projects and research. Bernard handles all the supplies and informs me of all research made by the company that can prove to be helpful in crime fighting.

After taking the Sample 42 serum, Bernard (55 years old) become slightly more youthful with a very fit muscular body (which I keep teasing him) and physical attribute able to lift 20 tons and maximum running speed of 35.8 km/hr.Apparently he has been receiving call from women (which he describe as horny cats or money grubbers) who want to sink their claws into him since taking the serum. His explanation to people regarding his changes is due to healthy eating and exercise. Since his wife passed away 10 years ago, I told him to keep an open mind for which he replied that he will think about it.

...

Matthew "Matt" Murdock A.K.A. Daredevil is the first to follow me into the laboratory in the Defender's base. In our previous meeting he has informed me in private of his radar sense ability. When he was young, he was blinded by a radioactive substance that fell out of a truck. The radioactive exposure that blinded him helped heighten his remaining senses beyond normal human ability such as 'radar sense' similar to echolocation, superhuman accuracy and sensitivity which give him abilities far beyond the limits of any normal human being.

"Daredevil, the serum will increase all your current abilities which include your senses. So in order to protect you from any possible weakness of having a hyper sense for example loud noises. I have created a device that can regulate, dampen or isolate the sounds if it becomes too loud for you to handle" I said as I passed the device to him.

Daredevil smiled to himself knowing that the device would come in handy before saying "Thanks".

"No problem, if your other senses give you any other problem tell me immediately" I replied as I patted his back.

"I am ready, lets do this" Daredevil replied as he walk towards the chamber. He stripped out of his uniform and left with only his mask and boxer.

I look at him in surprise saying "You don't want to test out your new toys?" which Daredevil casually replied "Nope". As I started feeling slightly disappointed since I want to show off the new upgrades I made to his equipment.

Sighing to myself, I replied "Okay, just to remind that you will feel short intense pain throughout your body and that the changes are immediate. Be prepared".

I have perfected the procedure by using the Vita Radiation (similar to Captain America) to unlock the serum's potential so that the procedure does not need overnight to change the body.

"Do you need me to call the others to give you mental support ?" I asked as I strapped Daredevil down.

Daredevil replied "No need!" which I nodded as I prep.

Daredevil underwent the same procedure, as I gas the chamber and use the Vita radiation.

10 minutes after the experiment, Daredevil can feel the huge changes to his body. Due to his heightened senses, he quickly used the device to help him slowly adept to the changes. He was so excited to test out his limits.

Under the supervision of all the Defenders, Daredevil went to the training room. His previous result was strength level of 450 lbs (204 Kg) and speed of 25.8 miles per hour (41.5km per hour). His new result is strength level of 30 ton and speed of 53.6 km per hour which deeply shocked and impressed everyone. Other than that, Daredevil super senses are heightened to nearly twice compared to what he had before.

...

Carl Lucas now Luke Cage is an ex-convict imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, when he was in prison he volunteered for a cellular regeneration experiment that gave him his current ability. Luke Cage possesses superhuman strength and stamina. He has extremely dense skin and muscle tissue which render him highly resistant to physical injury which fortifies the various tissues of his body. His skin resists gun shots, puncture wounds, corrosives, biological attacks, and extreme temperatures and pressures without sustaining damage.

Luke seeing the result of the serum decides to undergo the same procedure. The same experiment granted Luke greater strength and durability with accelerated healing. His previous result was strength level of 15 tons and speed of 20 miles per hour (31.2km per hour). His new result is strength level of 45 tons and speed of 48.6 km per hour.

After testing out his abilities in the training room, Luke was encouraged with the changes he received as he said "From now on call me Power Man!". Jessica can be seen slightly salivating when looking at Luke's body as Daredevil commented "Hormone!".

Colleen whispered to Iron Fist "At least Luke is a good influence on Jessica" as Iron Fist nodded his head in agreement.

"Damn they are stronger now! I better not pissed them off" Spider-Man commented to himself.

...

Jessica Jones got her power from the radioactive chemical from a military convoy when she was younger. Coming in contact with the chemicals sent her in a coma and after waking up she emerged with superhuman abilities. She possesses superhuman strength, accelerated healing and physical durability.

Jessica was a bit nervous to undergo the test but after some reassurance from Luke "Don't worry Jess. I will be out here waiting for you. If there is anything I will always protect you" she went in the chamber.

Spider-Man nudged me asking "Since when are they a couple?" as everyone else looks shocked at Spider-Man for not realizing much sooner.

"You should be more aware of your surroundings. No wonder Black Cat always doesn't respect you and always pulls a prank on you" Iron Fist said as he chuckled "I remember that one time you ended up wearing a red dress".

The Defenders all chuckled as Spider-Man replied feeling pissed "Hey how did you know that! Did she tell you ?" which they all ignored him.

Jessica's procedure granted her greater strength, better durability, accelerated healing and flying abilities. Being able to fly delighted Jessica to no end. Her previous result was strength level is 2 tons and speed of 22 miles per hour (35.4km per hour). His new result is strength level of 32 tons, speed of 45.2 km per hour and her flying speed is 64 km per hour.

"Jessica, how about naming your superhero identity, Power Woman?" Luke suggested to her excitedly.

"What is with you naming everything Power?" Jessica complained as Spider-Man said "Ya it sounds weird! How about Knightress?" drawing a glare from her.

Sighing to herself, Jessica finally said "Just call me Jewel. It is easy to remember".

Spider-Man complains "That does not sound logical! What is with Jewel ?" Hearing this Jessica chased him all over the place before punching him in the gut.

...

Daniel "Danny" Rand A.K.A. The Immortal Iron Fist got his power from plunging his fists into the molten heart of the dragon Shou-Lao the Undying that infused the dragon's superhuman energy into him. Under the tutelage of Lei Kung, the Thunderer it allowed Iron Fist to summon and focus his chi energy which is also called life force energy. Chi energy enhances his natural abilities such as strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes and sense to extraordinary levels.

By concentrating his own chi and the superhuman energy from Shou-Lao's heart into his hand, Iron Fist is able to produce a glow energy around his hand and fist. Once he strikes glowing energy, he is able to deliver a strike with superhuman hardness and power, while his hand won't feel pain or receive any injury.

Iron Fist can also focus his chi inward to help himself or outward to heal others of injuries. He is a skilled acrobat, gymnast, and a master of all forms of martial arts including K'un Lun's martial arts.

Colleen Wing on the other hand is descended from a family of samurai, she managed to avenge her grandfather's death with the help of Ironfist. She is an athletic woman with no superhuman abilities but she achieved mastery of the traditional combat skills of the Japanese samurai including swordsmanship. She wields a 1,000-year-old katana which she inherited from her grandfather.

"Colleen and Iron Fist, since both of you are not taking serum. I have made some changes to both of your new uniforms, it has the same compared to before except I have embedded micro servos into it. With this, it will boost your current physical body. Give it a go" I say as I handed the uniforms to both of them.

Iron Fist replied "Thank you, my friend. For all your effort".

"Thank you Nightwing. Both of us are in your debt" said Colleen.

Iron Fist previous result was strength level is 300 lbs (136 Kg) and speed of 25.8 miles per hour (41.5km per hour), with his chi energy his strength level is 750 lbs (340.2 Kg) and speed of 32.8 miles per hour (52.8km per hour). His new result with the strength level is 800 lbs (362.9 Kg) and speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km per hour), with his chi energy his strength level is 1250 lbs (567 Kg) and speed of 47.8.

On the other hand, Colleen's previous result was the strength level is 250 lbs (113.3 Kg) and speed of 24 miles per hour (38.6km per hour). Her new result is the strength level of 700 lbs (317.5.9 Kg) and speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km per hour).

I provided both of them grappling hooks to scale buildings faster and to swing from buildings to buildings if they needed too. The weapon for Iron Fist is a collapsible long stick made of titanium while Colleen is given gauntlets similar to mine to protect her arms.

Before we ended our meeting Colleen stated "I am not interested in getting any superhero nickname" as Spider-Man teased "But you could be great as Samurai girl or Katana or Hit-girl or Blade" as Colleen ignored him.
