Susan and the other three had no defenses against Vincent and Lorna, the 'siblings.' First, the two of them were simply too young, barely thirty years old combined, making it difficult to apply conspiracy theories to them.
On the other hand, the beginning of this incident was also attributed to Susan's unilateral loss of control over her abilities.
Reed's superior genius might have detected Vincent's abnormality, but he had experienced too many changes that day, and his mind was now fully focused on the superhuman transformation of his body. Coupled with the anxiety of his good friend, Thing, infecting him, he also regarded Vincent and Lorna as ordinary children.
Vincent blended in, and with Guan Luo in his backpack providing intel via mental thoughts, he quickly understood what was going on with this group of people who had just come into contact with the supernatural.
A week ago.
Reed's research found that exposure to high-energy cosmic storms generated by solar flares might trigger the evolution of early planetary life. Studying it could fundamentally advance the understanding of human genes, leading to the development of new drugs to treat various human diseases.
So.
Reed took his friend, Ben, to a company run by a CEO named Victor to secure investment. He, along with Susan, who was the head of genetics at that company, and her brother, Johnny, formed a group of five and took the company's private space shuttle to outer space.
In space, they accidentally exposed their bodies to a cosmic storm. After returning yesterday, the four of them began to experience abnormalities in their bodies one after another—
First, Ben's body turned to stone, allowing him to easily lift cars weighing several tons.
Reed's body became elastic, allowing him to freely stretch various parts of his body.
Johnny gained the ability to control Fire, able to envelop his body in Fire and even generate supernoval-level high temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.
Among the four.
Susan's abilities were the most complex and numerous. Currently known were invisibility, energy shields, and a mysterious force field effect... Reed truly lived up to his reputation as a genius in the scientific field. Although he couldn't directly create an anti-cosmic storm machine in a short time, he still immediately developed special suits for the four of them to wear—marvelous battle suits that could burn, become invisible, stretch freely, and were not easily damaged.
Vincent felt that the large shorts worn by Hulk should also be this type of battle suit.
Reed and Johnny immediately changed into their fantastic suits. Susan, however, couldn't change because her body was still connected to Vincent's left hand.
After a simple check of their physical condition and the development of the battle suits, night had already fallen outside the office's French windows.
"Oh, right, I need to go find Victor!" Reed looked at the brightly lit city outside, as if remembering something very important, and hurriedly left the office.
Did he just realize it?
Vincent muttered to himself. Since their four bodies had become superhuman and gained miraculous abilities, then Victor, the investor who went with them, should have also experienced special conditions in his body long ago.
At this moment.
Susan, holding her fantastic suit in one hand, smiled at Vincent and said, "Max, then you'll come with me... back to my place, okay?"
"Okay," Vincent returned the smile.
"Kid, you better watch it. Tonight, don't get any ideas about my sister," Johnny warned coolly from the side.
Susan immediately glared at him, finally unable to hold back, and reprimanded, "Johnny, what are you saying?! He's still a student, several years younger than me! Besides, Polaris will be coming along too!"
"Who knows," Johnny shrugged.
For him, he was quite happy to see Reed become his brother-in-law, which was better than the arrogant, uncomfortable Victor.
But as a seasoned player who had more than ten girlfriends, Johnny had always had an ominous feeling since he first saw Vincent.
He watched his sister, Susan, leave the company with Vincent and Lorna.
Johnny shook his head, casting aside his overly absurd thoughts.
It couldn't possibly be a boy even younger than him who ended up becoming his brother-in-law, could it?
...Susan's home was actually in the bustling urban area of Los Angeles, in an apartment on the same street as the company.
The apartment's total space was less than fifty square meters, which was very suitable for a single person, but after Vincent and Lorna entered, the apartment inevitably felt a bit crowded.
The gentle lights came on.
Susan tied up her messy golden hair, looking capable and intellectual. As the hostess, she quickly helped Vincent tidy up the clothes and books scattered on the sofa.
After several hours of being connected, the two had developed a certain tacit agreement; when one lifted a foot, the other would follow suit.
However.
It was as if Vincent had been holding Susan's waist the whole time. The combination of a young boy and a mature woman made the taxi driver earlier frequently cast strange glances.
Fortunately, Susan had the outdoor experience from noon and had already developed enough shamelessness.
Considering it was inconvenient to eat dinner outside.
Susan bought a McDonald's family bucket of burgers on her way home. She led Vincent to the small dining table in the living room and called out to Lorna, who had been quietly following, "Are burgers okay for dinner, Polaris?"
"Yes, big sister," Lorna responded sweetly and adorably, her voice soft and cute.
Vincent's gaze couldn't help but fall on her hair.
Hmm, it was dark green, not crimson.
Just now, he had momentarily thought that the girl sitting next to him had transformed into Wanda.
"So well-behaved."
Looking at Lorna, who was obediently sitting on the chair, Susan's heart seemed to soften. She reached out to stroke Lorna's head.
"Don't!"
Seeing a flicker of cold light in Lorna's eyes, Vincent quickly stood up to stop Susan's action, gently batting her hand away with his right hand.
However, the moment he touched Susan's hand.
Vincent regretted it.
Along with a jolt of static electricity from the point of contact, it triggered a second force field attraction, and Vincent's right palm and Susan's hand back became attached!
Susan: "..."
Vincent: "..."
Lorna blinked, her lips curving slightly upward like a little devil, as if watching a show.
Vincent looked at the second point of connection and slowly uttered the words he hadn't finished saying earlier: "My sister... she doesn't like people touching her head."
...It was destined to be a scene that would make men silent and women weep.
Vincent's left hand was connected to Susan's right waist, and his right hand was connected to Susan's left hand. The two were like a couple dancing at a ball, frozen by a spotlight shining on them, maintaining their intimate combined posture without moving.
Vincent sighed, looking at the hamburgers on the table, his stomach rumbling softly. Both of his hands were completely 'disabled' now.
"I'll take off your mask and feed you," Susan took a deep breath, feeling that as the only adult here, she should take responsibility.
No matter what the situation, don't panic!
"No, let Polaris do it instead," Vincent quickly called out.
He was truly scared.
If Susan's remaining right hand connected to his face, then the two of them would truly become conjoined aliens!
