Yancy pouted. "How could it work if you don't drink it?"
Frank smiled in wry amusement. "You really know nothing about my abilities. There's no reason to drink it, and this is enough to absorb it anyway."
"Oh," Yancy replied shortly, her eyes widened as she pressed, "How is it? Do tell!"
Frank raised a hand in response, and the entire lab was lifted by an unseen force.
"How else could it have gone?" he chuckled. "I've gained all the tortoise's powers."
"What?!"
Yancy had presumed that Frank would only absorb the tortoise's energy, but he gained the tortoise's powers instead? Was that not a little freaky?
"You are a natural lab rat." She smiled, shaking her head. "You're so much more amazing than I thought."
Frank chuckled and put down her lab. "Well, the ability is pointless to me. I can initiate it anyway even if I didn't gain it through its blood."
"Makes sense!" Yancy nodded. "That said, there are plenty of applications if it's perfected. Take my lab for example—you couldn't sense it before, but apply this logic, and you'd be invisible to any form of detection while having a constant bead on the lab. It's great!"
Frank's eyes lit up—one had to admit that her mind was much better than the rest.
In fact, he could even apply the principles of the four fundamental forces!
Without a limit to what he could learn, Frank could ensure that he was peerless—both objectively and subjectively!
With that in mind, Frank turned toward Yancy's lab.
With just a thought, the paint peeled off, disappearing just like the tortoise's blood just before it reached Frank.
Soon, Frank could feel the presence of the lab!
Soon, Jouri Yelin arrived.
When she and Yancy saw each other, they were both taken aback, with Jouri asking, "What are you doing here, kiddo?"
Yancy was at once surprised and delighted as she went up to Jouri. "And here I wondered who in the country could be this good—turns out it was you all along, scamp!"
"You really know how to hide the good stuff. Such a fun lab rat, but you couldn't even share. How cold could you be?"
Jouri laughed. "Well, you know him now."
Frank strode up, asking, "You ladies know each other?"
"And then some," Yancy replied. "We're colleagues too, though we went our separate ways due to certain factors."
Frank was even more curious. "What was it? Falling for the same guy?"
