Chapter 38 - Carl's step-2 Cecelia.

And in the secret lab of Carlson and co, they walked in the glass corridor. 

" Well as you have guessed, the Basra was indeed my fault, and for the records it was made for Krish, not for you." And they entered the locked chamber lab where Arya's body was. 

He pressed some keys and another chamber opened, and when they got it, it was filled with several weapons and testing equipment.

" Let me introduce you again, Cecelia, one of my greatest creations." And the beautiful lady behind Arya moved, and stood in front of what looked like a firing ring. 

Carl took out a machine gun, and handed it to Richard's bodyguard. 

" Please give it a try." And Harish Richard's bodyguard looked at him, Richard waved agreeing. Harish grabbed the gun, and stood in front of Cecelia. And Carl handed a folder to Richard. 

" This is a file of Cecelia, you were in a hurry last time you got here, I forgot to give it to you." And Richard took the folder and looked inside, it was the info of Cecelia, the name and other info column or where black, and two things where only visible, first gender and second ethnicity or birth place " Russia." 

" Cecelia was born in Siberia, Russia on a date that was not necessary, and part of what we can call a spy service, don't we have the fetish for Russian spies?" And Richard who was flipping through files, asked. 

" Why are there numbers 43 in all pages?" And Carl replied 

" That's the serial number of the test subject." And Richard looked at him. 

" What? Are you worried about the other 42?" And he waved his hand. 

" They were volunteers." And then Richard pointed. 

" Or spys?" He said pointing at the column of the country. 

" Does it matter?" And he pointed at the test in front. 

" My research gave me answers that really fascinates me." And they both looked at the shooting range behind the glass curtain. 

" Meta-gene is one of the greatest things that humanity ever has or ever have, moon landing is nothing compared to it." 

And inside the shooting range, Harish loaded the gun. 

" Meta-gene is just a possibility, it's something more… something that changes everything." And inside the shooting range, Harish aimed at Cecelia. 

" Meta-genes are not a bundle of data like we think they are. They are possibilities and hidden desires of all mankind." And Harish pulled the trigger. 

And like a hail storm, the bullets rain on her. And like a solid rock, she stood there not even blinking. 

" They are what we seek the most." And the gun became empty smoke lingering on the barrel. 

And inside a small office in the lab, Cecelia was handing tea to Carl and Richard and Richard was giving her extra glances. 

" She is obedient on her own." And Richard looked at him with questioning eyes, and Carl seeing this smiled. 

" Have you ever been to a prison made for international spy Mr Richards, president of the UN judge board?" And Richard didn't reply. 

" Cecelia here before getting arrested in DC, was a well trained spy dealing in small time info about White House, first she was responsible for gathering intelligence about military secrets from some old guys, and then getting married to a young congressman." And he took a sip of tea. 

" Her life before that includes heavy training and exercise that can harden even the softest bone, beatings where the least of the worries." And put the tea cup down, and leaned forward. 

" I used the same formula that I used on her four different people. The other three didn't survive. Gaining an impenetrable body, the only true success that I ever had." And he pointed at her. 

" Her body is impenetrable, I've tried every substance possible, every experiment possible, every method possible, none of them were able to make her bleed. She is invulnerable. Both outside and inside." And he leaned back. 

" And by every method I mean literally every method." And she showed him a video. 

" I put her I'm furnace, where temperatures exceeded the temperature of the sun, I put her in a temperature colder than space and even coldest depths of the world, nothing happened." And the video showed her drowning in the ocean, falling from high ground, and even buried alive in the boulder. 

" After a long and very long test, I came to this concussion. The meta-genes are ridiculous. They gave the power that the mind craved the most." And leaned back. 

" In her whole life, she never ever felt safe, there was always death looming over her head." And he grabbed her arm. 

" She wanted to be safe, so her body genes made her safe." And he let go of her hand. 

" Then why is the gene medicine not ready?" And Carl looked at him again. 

" It's a chance medicine with a lot of uncertainty, the other three subjects are fairly unstable and violent, if you want to try your luck I can give it to you." And Richard , seeing this, asked. 

" What's the chances?" 

" Chance? It's luck. And if you really want to show one in fortythree sounds, it's not good for marketing right." And Richard looked at him again. 

" How much time do you need?" 

" Me, I don't know, it's very chaotic. There is something missing, something to make it stable." And his eyes said it all. 

" You want Krish's blood?" And he leaned back. 

" I could have taken hers if she had bled in the first place." And looked at her questioning eyes. 

" What, she is Russian, don't you ever see movies?" And Richard looked away, and saw the files again for a distraction, and asked. 

" Why did you plan the Basra incident?" 

" Oh, that was an accident, I wasn't planning to make it that big, it was the terrorist. I just gave them what they asked, I thought they were gonna do it in a small city or something, not near the capital, and be glad it wasn't the capital." 

" A bomb capable of wiping a city to kill Krish?" He asked a little sceptical. 

" No, it wasn't supposed to be just a gift, my plan was to make her suffer a little. Just imagine the headlines. Superhero Krish in his pride ignores the safety of citizens and ignores the call of the military and causes millions of deaths. This will kill him, not the bomb. But-" He said, sipping the cold tea. 

" He heard the call of the military, and my plan almost got ruined, but luckily you got the footage and the survivors. And the name False God is popular." 

" Why don't you send her to fight." He said pointing at Cecelia. 

" She? She doesn't have the strength and she could not fly. You know how difficult it is to hit a flying enemy from the ground." And Richard dropped this childish idea. 

" Then what's your plan after this?" And Carl replied. 

" Wait, wait for the UN court, and him."
