U-Gin Genetics Infinite R&D,

Jay walked into the U-Gin Genetics, looking at the few scientists working. There seemed to be renovation going on, making Jay narrow his eyes, walking to the woman he saw yesterday, "Helen."

Helen glanced back, smiling, "Mr. Jay. I see you are on time. So, how was the flight? Do you want to rest first?"

Jay shook his head, smiling, glancing around, "I can see you are loving the new funding with the renovations."

Helen Cho excitedly walked around, "No, that is nothing! It's the research that you gave me! Do you know how much it helps?! With this, we might be able to make a working regeneration cradle in six months! Six months!!! Before, it was a lifelong dream! Now it's in my hand!"

Jay lightly smiled, "you do know that I plan to make them commercial? Right?"

Helen stopped, looking at him, "I suggest otherwise. Rather than letting people buy, we could create facilities that our people operate and let people come for healing."

"Like Hospitals?"

"Yes, something of similar nature, with trusted people operating it."

"You are worried that someone might misuse this technology?"

"It's something I want to create. I understand the things that it could be used for and how people could reverse engineer it. I fear..."

Jay looked at her worried face, patting her shoulder, "that's all right. I understand. Usually, mothers try to hog their children all for themselves. In your case, it's really to protect the cradle."

Helen looked down, curling her lips, "So?"

"I do like the idea," Jay narrowed his scarlet eyes, thinking, "let's see. I will have to give the proposal to Pepper. She might be able to come up with some cost-effective way. At the same time, I can think of a way to lock the regeneration cradle. To protect it from getting reverse engineered. I think I might have something for that."

He paused, "I will send you the options. Just chose whichever you want. Also, I have selected the first person you are going to treat. Someone that is going to bring massive publicity for us."

Helen seemed uncomfortable, "about that...I am not so sure. I wanted to create this to treat everyone. Not just rich people."

Jay waved his hand, "don't worry, I understand. As I said, starting will be severe, so we have to treat those who have money to get enough funds to create more regeneration cradles. And then, one by one, the more we build, the lesser the price becomes. But at the same time, I am also thinking of taking all the requests of healing. Like taking all the cases, and someone can decide which one is more severe and needed. So you can heal those people for free."

"Money and Charity." Helen Cho pressed her lips, nodding.

"Yes," Jay smiled, looking at her, "Now, will you give me the tour? Show me everything."

Helen gave a blushing grin, "yes."

It took a few hours before he saw everything, every piece of equipment, other scientists before he was done with all of them.

Helen Cho walked with him to the exit, "how are you going to leave?"

"He'll be coming with me."

Jay and Helen glanced towards the woman wearing an office shirt. She wore flared pants, cuffed white shirt, block heels.

Jay ran his eyes on her body, "you succeeded, and it only took you four hours to reach here."

Natasha clicked her tongue, shaking her finger with a smug smile, "it took me 7 hours to succeed and 1 hour to reach here."

Jay watched her with an impressed look, "this is Natalie Rushman. My secretary."

Helen said hello to Natasha, overwhelmed, "hello...you were staying in a hotel?"

Natasha smilingly nodded, "yes, I was nearby. Now, are you two going to kiss goodbye? Because we still have someplace to be."

Jay glanced towards Helen, watching her closely, "I'll go for kissing goodbye."

Helen froze, feeling him coming closer and closer, his lips about to reach it. When Jay kissed her cheeks, "keep up the good work."

Helen disappointedly smiled, looking down. When she looked up, there was a softer smile on her face, "Yes, have a safe journey."

Jay waved his hand, glancing towards Natasha, walking over the docks with her,  "congratulations. You got a weapon rather than the collar."

Natasha rolled her eyes, "you are not going to let that go, are you?"

"Not any time soon," Jay chuckled, "what was that about?"

Natasha looked at him with narrowed eyes, watching him closely, "I did your psyche test. I know what you want or like."

Jay rubbed this back of his head, "Ah, supporting me in my conquests now."

Natasha glanced back at Helen standing outside, watching them leave, "No. But that one seems to like you."

"I am helping her fulfill her life's dream."

Natasha smiled, raising her confident eyes, scrutinizing his body, "Nah, I think it about you being so dreamy."

"Are you sure you are talking about me?" Jay laughed unbelievingly.

"Since when did you start becoming more modest?"

Jay shook his head, "So? How are we traveling to the next meeting?"

Natasha touched him, and nano-bots surrounded them, creating a field, "Invisible Field. It can cloak us from all of the modern methods that could be used to find us."

Jay looked up at the sky, "you forgot about the satellites. If someone really digs through those files, they might be able to find us at this moment. But then, maybe you didn't forget."

Natasha looked up, without a change in her expression, "I forgot. I have to tell Fury about this tech anyway. Otherwise, I can't use it. Once this three days meeting is over, I will be taking a day's leave and going back to Shield."

"It would take more than a day for Fury to test all the capabilities of this thing," Jay smiled, "I have to hack the satellite and delete the records. So, let's go wherever we are going."

A holographic screen appeared from Natasha's watch, scrolling, "we are going to see this, Nadia. Although there is something wrong with this one. Are you sure she's safe?"

Jay narrowed his eyes, watching the woman on the holographic screen. In the other universe, she was called Nadia Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym. With this universe walking through a different branch, and according to records, Hank Pym never met Nadia's mother. She shouldn't have been born.

But when he was searching for scientists, he came across a familiar face and name, working in Russia. A scientist and agent for the Russian Government.

But Nadia didn't seem to be the daughter of Hank Pym. Although her mother was Maria Trovaya, "she will be useful. More than the others, as for her being a Russian Agent? I can handle it."

Natasha carefully watched him, "Russian agent? I should stop asking questions. It feels like I am here to keep an eye on you, then Tony."

Jay smiled, glancing at her, "so, how are we leaving?"

Natasha smiled, enjoying herself, "about that." Her heels turned into AT's. And Jay took a step back, "No."

He created a portal, walking inside, "I'd rather just do this."

Natasha clicked her tongue in disappointment, "wouldn't it be fun? Being carried in my arms as we fly through the air?"

Jay looked at her from the other side of the portal, "you plan to keep flying?"

"I used the stimulator to control my body according to the simulation. I was able to fly through the air because of that. But it's more like a fake sensation that has been planted into me. I want the real thing. I need training."

Jay hesitated, "how many functions did you unlock?"

"How many did you create?"

"Frankly, Echo can learn. I don't know how many functions she has put in level 1."

Natasha bent down, with her wheels running, massive air forming under her feet, "then not many, just a dozen or so."

She jumped up, reaching towards the sky, breaking the sound barriers, disappearing.

Jay closed the portal, walking out of the bathroom, "now I am thinking I shouldn't have taken that equipment out. It's more trouble than I thought."

"Are you worried they will reverse engineer it?" Echo's voice came from his computer.

Jay sat down on the chair, "No, each tech that I create has my will in it. Unless they break through it with something like the Tesseract, they couldn't break my encryption. But then, they would have to learn how to observe such energies and manipulate them. I don't see them doing anything like that anytime soon."

"Then? What is Sir worried about?"

"That she is learning too fast, and Natasha is an agent. An ordinary person wouldn't even think of something like transferring virtual simulation to her mind. To learn faster."

"Did you forget? Sir decided not to control things anymore."

Jay let out a breath, smiling, "you are right. How long would it take for Natasha to come back?"

"I cannot see her, so I cannot be sure. But according to the older speed, she was able to reach Mach 10, and now she should be getting faster. It will take her somewhere from 30 to 60 minutes."
