Chapter 22: Working With Dr. Connors
(The next day)
Y/N's P.O.V
Right now I'm on my way to Oscorp to get to work with Dr. Connors.
As I walk down the street I get a call from Tory.
Tory: Hey, Y/N.
Y/N: Hey, what's going on?
Tory: Well, I actually wanted to ask you something.
Y/N: Okay.
I look up to see Oscorp up ahead and I go to cross the street.
Tory: Do you maybe want to hang out tonight?
Y/N: As in just the two of us?
Tory: Yeah. Just us.
Is she asking me out right now? I can't tell.
Tory: So, do you want to?
Y/N: Uh, yeah. I mean I'd love to, but I can't. I'm gonna be working at Oscorp with Dr. Connors tonight. I'm sorry, Tara.
Tory: No, it's okay. I understand. What you're working on with him is important.
Y/N: But how about another time?
Tory: Yeah, definitely.
I smile.
Y/N: Alright, great.
Tory: Cool.
Y/N: Well, I better go. I'll talk to you later.
Tory: Okay. Bye.
Tory then hangs up.
I walk into Oscorp and take the elevator up.
(Five minutes later)
So, I've just walked into Dr. Connors main lab.
He and I are working on a Cross-Species genetics project to help hundreds of people.
We've worked on the algorithm and today we're gonna test it.
I turn and see Dr. Connors walk in.
Y/N: Dr. Connors.
He turns to face me and smiles.
Curt: Ah, Y/N. Good to see you.
I walk over to him and we shake hands.
Y/N: So, today is the day, huh?
Curt: Yes. Today we run the simulation test. And assuming it works, we can test it.
Y/N: Great.
Dr. Connors loss the use of his right arm in an accident seven years ago.
And ever since he's been looking for a way to help himself and others like him.
Now he has to use a wheelchair to get around.
Dr. Connors brings up a hologram of a lizard.
Curt: As you can tell, this is a hologram of a lizard. Now, these wonderful creatures are able to grow entire limbs at will and heal incredibly quickly. You can see my envy.
Y/N: I do. If we can isolate the lizard DNA we can use the Decay Rate Algorithm to help the mouse regrow his limb.
Curt: We'll do it.
He and I work at the computers and after a few minutes we have the simulation ready.
Y/N: Okay, it's ready. Cross your fingers, Doc.
I imput the everything that's needed.
Y/N: Alright, that should do it.
The simulation starts running.
Computer: Running Decay Rate Algorithm. Pending. Pending... failed. Subject deceased.
The mouse dies in the simulation a few times.
Dr. Connors turns away.
Computer: Pending... test complete.
Y/N: Doc, it worked. Look.
He turns back and sees it.
He then smiles.
Curt: It worked. I can't believe it.
He looks at me and puts his hand on my arm.
Curt: Thank you, Y/N.
I nod.
Y/N: It wasn't just me, Doc. We did it together.
(Ten minutes later)
Dr. Connors and I are now testing it on the real mouse.
He puts the serum into the injector, while I hold the mouse in my hands.
I kneel down so he can inject the serum into the mouse.
Y/N: Hey, buddy. It'll be okay.
Curt: Okay, careful now. Don't wanna prick you by mistake. Human trials aren't until next week.
He injects the serum into the mouse and I put him back in his cage.
I can't believe the algorithm worked.
I sigh.
Y/N: So, what do we do now?
Curt: We wait. And once we know if it worked, we'll start human trails. I'd like you to be there for that as well, Y/N.
I smile.
Y/N: Really?
Curt: Of course. I wouldn't have been able to crack it if it wasn't for you, son.
I nod.
Y/N: I'll be here, Doc. Don't worry.
He smiles.
Curt: Thank you, Y/N. For all your help.
He and I shake hands.
Y/N: Anytime, Dr. Connors.
Curt: Now, you should get home. You've earned the rest.
I nod.
Y/N: Got it. See ya soon, boss.
I then leave the lab and head home.
(Twenty minutes later)
I web swing home and walk into the house.
I then see dad sat on the couch.
Y/N: Hey, dad.
He turns to look at me.
Henry: Hi, kiddo. How did the test at Oscorp go?
I walk over to the couch and sit with him.
Y/N: It went really well. The test worked and if all goes well, we'll be starting human trails next week.
He smiles.
Henry: That's amazing, Y/N.
Y/N: It is. If all of this works, we'll be able to help hundreds of people. Help them regrow limbs, allow them to have their normal lives back.
He smiles.
Henry: That's great. I'm so proud of you, son. Your mother would be too.
I smile.
Y/N: I hope so. I'm trying to make her proud, dad.
Henry: I know and you are.
I sigh.
Y/N: Well, I'm gonna go and get some sleep.
Henry: Okay, buddy.
I stand up.
Y/N: Night, dad.
Henry: Goodnight.
I walk upstairs and go to my bedroom.
All I want to do is sleep right now.
