"Oh~ this is pretty nifty"
I was holding a ball, a metal one at that. Which, had a red button to press on. Then on the other hand was a bracelet on my wrist.
Reed had made these 2 inventions of ways to detect them shapeshifting green dudes.
"How this it work?"
"For simpler terms, instead of getting into the quantum mechanics of the device, especially the Blood/DNA samples that the avengers gave me, this device...."
[A/N: Guys, I'm not that smart irl, to even make myself write where, reed speaks like the intelligent person that he is.....Because all i would do is write some hard words, complicated, smart sounding ones, then just the rest would be some gibberish]
Yeah, good thing he knows I wouldn't understand whatever quantum mechanics, some sort of atom warping physics, and the such. I ain't that smart, he understands though, so i'm grateful for that.
"...The metal ball is high density in the material, with a press of the button, I had installed on it, it will send a frequency all around you, at a large radius of 40 miles"
"Oh!"
I nodded, I was getting at least, wrapping my brain around the idea.
"As, it sends that frequency, the Skrulls who are in their shapeshifting mode, will be unraveled trying to block that frequency from their brain, While the bracelet you have on, will detect any skrull nearby.....it's only a detection device with a 10 mile radius"
He dumb it down for me, good. I wouldn't want to be fainting on the spot with his complicated, smart 1000iq words. But, the radius for these is quite something, impressive.
"You have like multiple of them?"
"No, for me to create more, I'll need more samples of skrulls, I only made five of each.....for myself, Susan, Johnny, Ben and you"
"Oh thanks!"
I was surprised, I thought he made more but, he had some limits for that reason I don't know. Warms my heart that he had enough to make me one.
"You're family, even with that incident with johnny, he's not the brightest man, but he still is one of us, helping ben revert back to his human form was something, even I couldn't find a solution yet"
Oh burn on the johnny one.
I agree wholeheartedly, it's nice to be welcomed by them. I helped Ben with his rock transformation. Negation had it's perks.
"Besides, the problem with susan only you could of solved, woman are a mystery to me...emotions always run high with them, but one word from you calms her down"
"Thanks, I guess?"
"Well, I will go back to the lab, like usual make yourself at home, oh and those are prototypes, I'm trying to make them much further on their radius"
Reed left, he was a chill, smart guy. Like if he was normal with no powers, he would either beat down the guy robbing him, with intellectual words, degrading him that sort of way. Or just pull a gun out, and solve it quickly without much bother.
Not going to lie, I wanted to test the devices reed gave me.

I was driving around new york, staten island, just to see if I can find one. Then my bracelet beeped as if detecting one.
I drove around then when to some place kind of a homeless encampment. I stared at someone who was dressed in a suit, approaching a homeless guy.
[Skrull detected]
I heard an Ai voice in my mind. I looked at the bracelet, it turned into a watch. A holographic screen appeared before me, it then showed the map around me, a red dot was pointing right in front of me. With, me being the arrow to know i'm that person moving.
"Hello sir, would you like to be settled in a home?"
The homeless man looked up, confused why someone that seemed rich. Would want to bother with him, especially to offer him a home. But, he has been in the streets for to long, the government, mayor isn't doing much to help the homeless like him.
"I would"
He didn't seem right, as cases of beer and littered trash were surrounding him. What the man didn't know this skrull would kidnap him. Knowing that humans wouldn't really care for some homeless guy, the cops, society wouldn't bother to remember him. Random people walking the same path would not even, try to call cops for him to search for the kidnap homeless guy.
Then the homeless man saw the business suit guy, revert to someone green, bald, sharp-pointy ears. Then they had some sort of tattoo on their face.
"Human...."
He turned as he felt something forcing him to transform back. With a weapon on it's hip, the skrull pulled it out to shoot me.
I just walked at him, he was in my range. I negated that shot into nothingness. He shot more at me, but it wasn't working. He frowned, I then saw it pulled a saber.
I can negate his balance, which he instantly collapse to the ground. A motion in hand, I negated my sense of defense. Meaning, I can take anything to a certain limit to my body. I grabbed the saber, I stared at it.
"Where are your friends?"
"Not telling human!"
The homeless man squinted his eyes, then rubbed them.
"Am I dreaming?"
"Don't worry about it, just a movie set"
"oh...."
The homeless man bought my lie, he grabbed a needle injected it in inside of him.
Oh man, just because that happened in front of me. I walked towards him.
'What?"
"Become clean, you should really strive for the best"
I pulled a stack of cash, 5k right there on his hand. He trembled, I then touched his forehead with my finger.
I healed the man from alcohol abuse, drug abuse. As, well as the tumor he had, he had cancer growing as well. The man had it rough, I want to see if he takes this opportunity. Revitalizing his body, from the verge of death and weakness.
"T-This...!"
He cried, I then knocked the skrull by negating this defense to take more damage by my fist.
"Just take this as a second chance"
I waved at him, taking the skrull with me, back to the fantastic 4 tower. Leaving the homeless man who cried in joy, happiness, and new resolve. A fire was lit inside of him, ambition was manifesting inside of him.
Max had just changed his life, he would become someone who could strive to become someone.

"Busy reed?"
"Come in max"
I saw read having some goggles on, with tools in hand. Holographic images displaying some other inventions. He seemed to be still working on trying to harvest the cosmic particles.
"I got one"
"Perfect!"
His eyes gleamed with excitement, as I put the skrull into an unconscious state on the hospital bed.
*beep*
Reed pressed a button, instantly cuffs were coming from the bed and was chaining the skrull from moving.
"Thank you max"
"Any time"
I raised my fist to him, he raised an eyebrow with a smile on his own. Bumped with my fist.
