"Good to see you kid." Mr. Stark says.

"Don't get any ideas Stark." Scarlet hisses.

I grip the book. What's happening to me? Am I turning into a monster?  I feel like I'm drowning. Well... not completely but almost. My head is spinning a thousand miles. I grip it. I just want to know, but I'm also terrified of knowing. 

"Relax Scarlet, I got this." Mr. Stark says.

"And that's valid because?" Scarlet asks.

"Just let a genius work." Mr. Stark says.

He opens something. 

"Just get inside this kid and we'll analyze that thing." Mr. Stark.

"Is it safe?" Scarlet asks.

"Completely." Mr. Stark says.

"It better be." Scarlet hisses.

I get inside it.

"You might want to take off your shirt. It tends to mess up the scan." Mr. Stark says.

I nod. I pull it off. 

"Careful Punk." Scarlet says.

"Don't worry he's fine." Mr. Stark says.  

Hopefully... I'll be fine. He starts scanning me. I feel an itch on my neck. It feels like this thing is moving. Is it... alive? Mr. Stark is silent. I don't know how this should make me feel. I'm nervous still.

"Whoa. It's alive." Mr. Stark says.
