Chapter 8 - It's 6 in the morning,

I'm still awake, or should I say I woke up after an hour's sleep. I was too excited, there was so much to do! Elixir's or rather my power now has many sides to it. I'm classified as an Omega class healer, which means my healing has no limits and Elixirs feats are legendary. Ressurection, self ressurection, and with the help of the other members of the Five ressurecting even those that have been long dead was possible. I believe given enough time Elixir have could do it by himself as well. It takes a toll though, and he literally went psychotic when he ressurected himself, thus my little caveat in my wish.

I also has offensive capabilites, mainly disease induction and life absorplbtion from my life manipulation abilities. This all stems from my main ability biokinesis. As an omega class that means I have no limits, and its shown in the comics how slowly but surely Elixir has mastered manipulating dna of his and others and his own molecules At some point in order to boost his abilities Beast transferred some of his knowledge telepathically. It was a drop in the ocean in my head now. This knowledge helped Elixir with gene manipulation and healing, well it's time to put that third wish to good use.

Dark Beast worked for Apocalypse, and with his collaboration with Mr. Sinister created the Infinites. This was a group of gene spliced mutants and humans. They had to work hard to splice gwnse together, but that was them I thought with a grin. My first target was Holocaust, an omega class life absorber. That should power up my abilities nicely, and also a nice little test run comparing my genes and Dark Beasts research and DNA analysis of Holocaust. I'm not going for his full power set, too many drawbacks just his primary one. First and foremost before I start messing about I needed to understand mine so I dont accidentally get rid of my biokinesis.

I sit up, cross-legged in what I know as Indian style. I put my hands on my thighs making sure to touch flesh, not needed but Elixir started off with only being able to heal on touch. The fine work I needed to do, I want to make it as least difficult as possible. I direct my powers inwards, relying on prime Elixir's fine control. It works, now I need to use his innate DNA perception.

I can sense it, and basically see it in my mind. I can compare Dark Beasts knowledge on Holocause to my own genes. I see the most similiar points of our x-gene are most similiar. It's right there, I can instinctively feel it. A slight nudge and I could change my life manipulation in Holocaust's life absorption. I don't want to change it though, I still want the abilitty manipulate it and give it to others. So, I grab a second strand of DNA I gave one the absorption and I started to splice together the two x-genes. Dark Beast was very reprehensibl, but with his knowledge and experience on the subject guiding me the process went smoothly, and I just repeated the work until I had enough that I could feel a slight difference in my abilities. I then started my work on the eukaryotic cells making this DNA sequence to be replicated.

After finishing my work, and before I could test it, a weariness so bone deep that I felt like I was dying washed over me. A memory seemed to trigger, and it was the caretaker.

"Hey so I knew your intention, and after sending you on your way I realized I couldnt completely get rid of the side effects. So, I did a few things and it might have messed with your memory a little more. I at the very least made sure you stayed sane, but you can't just expens your energy infinitely with no consequences it violates so many rules. I hid some life energy to ensure the first time wouldnt be too bad, but next time you may still fall into a coma if not you can feel this way again so be wary. As an apology to not completely giving your wish I did give you some extras you'll have to figure out yourself, and also protected your abilities. You can experiment all you want, your actual mutant powers will ALWAYS be protected and you won't accidentally damage or delete it. I wish you the best!"

Oof okay, this is horrible I can barely move. I imagine this was what this first guy that ran a marathon felt like, glad I'm at least safe from his fate. I need some fuel! Heh James always keeps snacks, him and his sweet tooth. There's a stash within arm's reach but even that bit of movement is awful. I stuff a chocolate in my mouth and start eating. I ate 5, and it wasn't really working. I spotted a succulent that was dying nearby. Well time to test it out. I reach out and grabbed it and absorbed.

It was like water in the desert. I don't feel like I'm dying anymore but I defintely need more. I look around and see quite a few plants. James has a love of plants, but he is awful at tending them. Most of the plants looked dead or dying. I could just absorb all those, but that would be rude and probably devastate James. I'm tired enough to sleep, and I shouldn't be in any danger of sleeping too long. I laid back down and comfortsble trying to relax and sleep.

Next thing I know I was being nudged awake.

"Wake up! It's 6AM time for practice!"
