And in his lab, he is looking at the research paper and reports about clones and new born children, and is trying to find where they got their consciousness. He saw several reports and several videos on this topic explaining the birth or consciousness of children, and he found it relatively unsatisfactory. And then he looked at the data of souls and they were just some people talking nonsense. In his opinion, there is a concert of souls, but no solid evidence of its existence, when a sentence caught his attention.
" A soul is like a data." And he seems to understand something.
" If I took soul as a data, so does it means it can be changed, transferred, Remodified Or best be created."
" So, let's see." And his expression became calm, and emotionless.
And a few hours later, Arya sat back on his seat, and said in a calm voice.
" Well, I didn't feel anything, for some reason." And he leaned back a little,
" The experiment wasn't successful, and three subjects died, one became vegetative, one can be considered half dead, and one lost his memory…But!! That person has memories that do not belong to him." And he looked at the screen where his image was playing, he looked at his eyes, and tried to see the humanity in it.
" It seems something is missing."
" And... it seems I can do something more." And he suddenly looked at the screen and acted in his play, the news report.
" Welcome back to your favorite, Dr Arya's life changing events after a long time of break. And like you, I also missed you." And he turned.
" Things have changed, I've changed. I'm no longer in the category of normal human, my mind is transcending the mortal realm, and barely touched the threshold of something divine. And like expected, and don't want to admit, this world doesn't seem normal. I'm getting stronger, my brain and body is stronger than what it was a day before, I can see it, I can feel it and, most importantly, I can control
it." And he turned.
" I want to see more. I want to feel more." And just as he said that, his body vanished, more like vaporized and then vanished, and he appeared from the back holding a cup of coffee.
" I can teleport, more like I just rearrange my body without dying, but not others. In conclusion, their brains can't handle the sudden impact like mine. I can see the consciousness of others, which I call aura." and he took off his glasses, and his eyes were glowing, and they were red.
" My brain is evolving, and so is my personality. It's becoming less human and more,,,,, more like a,,,,I don't know." And put back the sunglasses.
" I really don't look good in them." But he does, but not in a way that the professor should.
" I'm worried that I'll be a totally different person when I wake up the next day. Glad I don't have someone who can notice this, but is it right?" There was a slight emotion in his face.
" I've made an antidote in a case where my mind or me try to go out of control, I've sent this data to you, and make sure it comes in a way that I can't expect, otherwise it's no use." And he looked at his hand, which doesn't seem like his, he doesn't feel like himself.
" A God." And he looked back at the computer.
" I've answers that I don't want to know, and I'm getting the answer that I should not know. My mind is evolving because my powers evolved way faster than they should. I've taken the enzyme that supplements the energy twice, and they are not working properly. My body is saying I might die, but my mind is telling me nothing will happen, and so does my personality. I don't know what's gonna happen, just this morning I was normal, but on my way back something changed." And he looked at the camera.
" It's like I got some answer I shouldn't. If something happens to me, Rohit, I wish you would stop me. Before." And he looked at his hand.
" Rohit, you said before that God has suffered and died, wherever he was born in the world. I hope you are right. Cause I don't think God does that easily." and the camera turns off.
And Rohit sees all of that in his computer, and his expression does not change. But the light of the screen outlines a way that said, it's not in a good mood.
And after seeing this, he threw the things on the table to the ground, and left the building in a hurry and went back to the college.
It was already night, and the night life was in full, but he was in no mood of caring for it, he drove back to college in speed, when he noticed something. He frowns when he sees heavy clouds in the sky, he remembers there shouldn't be this weather this time, and even if it should, the clouds don't need to be this close. The clouds were almost touching the building, and still descending. And a feeling that said, it's definitely not natural came to his mind, and he was about to turn, when his car suddenly started to shake, and then the car stopped for some reason. And when he get out of check, he saw one of the key part of engine was missing, and there was fine dust in its place, he looked up feeling something wrong, he wasn't far from home just a few blocks away, and he could see the building from hear, when he noticed the clouds had become thunder cloud, and they were gathering around his building. He took a step towards home, when without any warning, a lightning bolt hit the nearby lightpost, and many people screamed in fright. Rohit didn't flinch, but a bad premonition filled his heart, and then with a boom, several more lights stuck, but not in the, but it building he was on, and all the glass of the nearby building collapsed, and everyone ducked, except him. And he looked at his home, which had caught fire, and he looked at it with firm and fierce eyes.
Krishna and priya soon reached the building, and they saw firetrucks lined outside the building, and little smoke rising from top.
" It's the lab." Said Priya, and they both entered the building, and soon reached the floor where their home was, and they saw Rohit sitting on a half burned sofa, holding a photo frame with water sprinkled all around him, and when they entered, Rohit noticed them, but didn't bother to look at them. He just sat there holding the photo frame in his hand.
" What happened here?" Asked the one who was least but also the most troubled by this, Priya. And like she expected, he didn't reply directly.
" It was a thunderstorm." He replied. Priya was surprised to hear him answer directly, but she somehow didn't feel right.
" Thunderstorm? There shouldn't be one right?"
" Am I a meteorologist? How should I know?" And he stood, and walked into the direction of his lab.
" Where is Sakshi?" Came, a masculine voice, and Rohit replied without turning back.
" In her friend's house, glad she was to hear." And he entered his burned down lab.
" He is lying." Said Krishna.
" About Sakshi?" Asked Priya.
" No! About thunderstorms."
" Thunderstorm? We both heard it loud and clear, that's why we came here right?"
" No." And he looked around.
" The thunderstorm wasn't natural."
" What do you mean by it wasn't natural? Did someone do it? How is this possible?"
" I don't know, but it only hit this building, even though it isn't the tallest one here."
" But that doesn't proof-"
" Have you ever heard of a thunderstorm that lasted for minutes and happened at such a low altitude and in a concentrated manner, to hit the same spot?" And she became quiet, ignoring the fact he cut her off in mid sentence, and pondered what he meant, and when she understood she couldn't believe it.
" You mean?"
" Yes." He replied.
" There is another Mahamanav in the world." He confirmed.
" But! What if someone has the technology or something, having a focused thunderstorm isn't that hard." She argued, trying to deny this conjecture.
" Can't he figure it out if it is natural or manmade." And she became silent, this is indeed a case, if Dr Mehra couldn't figure it out, then there are two possibilities. One, he didn't want to do it, or he didn't want to answer it. And in these two possibilities, the second one seems more feasible. No matter how much you hate Dr Mehra you could never underestimate his knowledge.
" So why do you think he is hiding this?"
" I don't know." He replied.
" Maybe you should ask Sakshi." And she felt a headache just by her name.
"Sakshi."
And like you expect from a rich second generation, she was having a party in her friend's house in a pool(in swimsuit of course) on a misty rainy night, full of music and stuff.
The party was going on when the little boy came a little timidly, and tried to call Sakshi's name, and after two or three times, she noticed him, and got out of the pool. It was her friend's younger brother, and he was quite shy in her presence, and told her that someone was looking for her, she was little interested, and followed him back, and draped a towel around her shoulder, and on her way, she saw a couple making out, ignoring them she entered the Hall, and saw a couple, and they weren't making out, but she hoped they were, she could just record it and blackmail the female, who was her teacher, for many things, but she didn't have phones right now, and they weren't making out either.
She sighs, and looks at them both with curious eyes.
" What is the teacher doing here in her student house this late?" She said teasingly.
" Classes are over. And my dear brother." And she went out to hug both of them, but Priya just pushed her away, and Krishna just stood there awkward.
She sat down and asked why they both came here, her voice normal but still teasing. And Priya first asked if she knew about the fire in the home, which after hearing she was surprised, and asked what happened? Priya explained that a thunderstorm happened, that started the fire. Which, after hearing, she became confused just like Priya back then.
" We suspect it was manmade." Said Krishna.
" More like Mahamanav made(supermanmade)" And after hearing that, she became serious, her lazy and carefree expression gone.
" Is dad ok?" She asked in a concerned voice.
" He is fine, he was not in the home at that time. No one died, but the house and lab were gone. We think it might be related to something or someone that Dr Mehra knows, because when he asked, he lied and told us it was a thunderstorm." And after hearing this, Sakshi realized what was going on. She instantly remembered the incident of Dr Arya, and she immediately told them about this, and that dad told him that he had perfected the serum, and used it on himself. Dad was really surprised when he saw the results, he said it's the most perfect thing he has seen.
" Dr Mehra said that." Asked Priya, not believing he could say something like this.
" Yes, he told me that this formula not just activates the meta-gene, but helps them grow continuously till they reach the point where they can not grow anymore. He said the only shortcomings are that the energy required in these prices is very huge, and the person injected with it will surely die after a day or so. But later he said he also made a supplement serum for energy, and injected himself. Dad told me has the power to control or break the bonds, which as a scientist is very scary. But it's ok, it's Dr Arya, he is one of the coolest guys if he never gives an extra assignment or something. Better than dad of course." And she said the last part to herself in a low voice, but after saying this, she suddenly seems to understand something.
" No! No! No,, Dr Arya couldn't, he is a chill guy, a little bit scary but still chill. I know they didn't like each other much, and no one likes my dad that much anyways, but this, no! He couldn't possibly?" And when she saw them, she realized it's probably true.
" Hey, I'm about to get angry." And she stood up, and told them to get ready, she is going to see him. And soon she came back in her clothes and camera, and they all took Priya's car, and when Sakshi sat inside, she complained about the car's interior and model, which was pretty old and lax, which Priya ignored.
" Hey, where is the suit and mask? Didn't you bring it?" She asked to look for a bag or something. And after hearing that, Krishna was a little confused.
" Why?" He asked, why would he need that for. And she replied.
" If there is a fight you probably need that."
" I could fight without it."
" No! I mean we are probably gonna meet the main villain of the story, and you as a hero, should carry your suit around. What if there is a fight, or he suddenly attacks or, worse, we saw a kitten on the tree?"
" Why do you always talk about kittens? And no, no one's gonna fight anyone, and we are just checking, there is no confirmation it was him, ok." stated priya, almost mocking her for her stupidity.
" No, it's probably him. I called him three times and he didn't pick up. The last time this happened was when his son died. So it's probably him." And she looked at Krishna who was beside her, and asked the question again.
" Anyway, where is your mask actually is? The coat almost burnt right?" She asked with glimmering eyes, and Krishna replied, a little awkwardly.
" Ahh.. I don't know,,,,,probably with Supriya?" He wasn't sure.
" With Sups?" She asked.
" Where is she anyways, I heard she had an accident again." And she looked at Krishna verily.
" She has been hospitalized twice since she met you, right? And your mask is in her place, is it?" She asked, making stuff out of her mind.
" What nonsense you are talking about, Sakshi. Be quiet. This is a serious problem, Dr Arya has taken a very dangerous serum which could endanger both his and others life, and he probably, just probably already has endangered someone. It's not the time to play games, the Krish thing was an accident. And don't you dare say, there are no accidents. Because there are accidents. And please focus on the current problem, or at least let me focus on the road." Sometimes she just wants to shut her mouth with staples, or create something that can shut her mouth. But like a cockroach, she kept pestering her, just for fun.
" Ok I'll be quiet. But literally, there are no accidents." And when she saw Priya glaring at her through the back mirror, she instantly became quiet and murmured the rest of the sentence.
" If there is, there should not be… ." Rest was not that audible, just mumbling.
And after finishing this scenario, Priya won because she accepted defeat! ended. She looked at Krishna, who was looking at the road ahead, and she nudged him slowly trying to get him attention, and she asked if I'm low voice, trying to avoid getting the attention from Priya.
" How's Supriya's condition?" And Krishna didn't understand why she was so silent and answered in her casual loud voice.
" She is fine, and is going to be discharged today, and probably already in her home." And after hearing this, Priya looked back at Sakshi with unkind eyes. Which, after hearing that, she retorted.
" What? Can't I ask about my Sister in law's health, at least she is fun to talk to."
" Who's sister in law? She is just a sister, and at least she knows to be quiet. And why are you calling her sister in law."
" Want me to call you?" And seeing them quarreling like monkeys, Krishna couldn't sit still, and he acted like adult for the first time.
" Can you both be quiet? Why are you fighting like monkeys? Priya you are a grown up, why are you arguing with her. She is just a child."
" I'm not a child, and hay there are no monkeys in the mountain is there-"
" Oh you please shutu-"
" You both shut up." Yelled Krishna, and looked at both of them.
" Priya just follows the road, and Sakshi can you please be quiet? Priya is driving, she might get distracted, or hit something, you said you are not a child, so stop acting like one."
" Yes father." She murmurs, her head down.
" listen to him." Said Priya.
" Yes mom." She also mutters.
" What a bad ending for a good day."
