Professor Discord, who was working at his desk. Looked away from the computer he was staring at to see Flash standing at the doorway of the lab. Holding a bucket.
He smirked and nodded, "Sentry." He got up from his desk, "What brings you here tonight? I said you two didn't have any shifts this week."
"That's not why I'm here." Flash began walking over to a counter where he placed the bucket. "I wanted to bring you this."
"A Bucket?"
Flash chuckled, "Well, not exactly." Out of his pocket he pulled out a note, "See, this is that space substance from the Space Shuttle."
Discord's eyes widened. "The Alien Lifeform?! How did you retrieve it? It's been missing for days!"
"I didn't get it." said Flash, "Spider-Man did."
Discord's lip curled in confusion. Both his eyebrow and back arched. "Spider-Man?! Explain."
Flash handed the Professor the note, "Well, you see..... There was this thing that happened earlier tonight and The Bugle sent me to get pictures. I was getting pictures in a vacant spot so I could get better shots. As I was, Spider-Man approached me and handed me the bucket. Telling me to go here and to give it to you. When I asked what it was, he told me it was the 'Alien Goo' and told me to be cautious with it and to get it here."
Discord tilted his head up and stroked his chin, "I see. Maybe I've taken this Spider-Man character with a grain of salt."
Flash shrugged, "Well. He sure is a mystery, I'll say that much."
Discord let out a sigh. Getting out of his chair and walking over to the counter. Getting there, he faced Flash with a rather serious expression. "Sentry since you're here. I'm gonna show you something, but you have to keep it a secret from everyone. Including Sugarcoat."
Flash arched an eyebrow. "Why?"
"It's been something I've been working on for years now. More than twenty years to be exact."
"What about the Alien Sp--"
"Don't worry about that." Discord nonchalantly interjected, "Just, come with me." Both him and Flash started for his desk. Discord went on his computer, opening up a file. Specifically, a completed blue print. Showing it to Flash.
"Welp, this is it." said Discord, "My pride and joy. Tridium Project 6302004."
Flash stared at what he was looking at. Widening his eyes a little, "That's a fusion reactor."
"Indeed. So, I presume you know what they're main purpose is right?"
Flash nodded, "Yeah. They're idea in theory is to use heat from nuclear fusions to generate energy.
"Right again." Discord pointed out.
"Who else knows about this?" asked Flash
"There are only a few people that's seen this project. Connors, Breaker and the other person who helped me design the machine. Breaker's been funding this project since it was conceived. Making this whole thing easier."
Flash was intrigued by the blueprints of the machine. But it also prompted his confusion on why he was the one to be looking at it. "Professor. Why are you showing me this?"
A small smirk formed of the Professor face, "Surely you can figure it out. Just look at the bottom corner of this."
Flash arched an eyebrow. Looking exactly where Discord said to, he found two signatures. One was a one he'd never seen. But the other one, the other one he'd seen so many times before. His eyes widened a little more.
"Dad."
"Yes." Discord nodded, "Before your father left the university, he used to be my student and eventually my own protégé. When I had the idea of this reactor, he offered to lend me a hand and helped me design the machine." He got out of his chair and put his hand on Flash's shoulder. "Your father was one of the most brilliant person I'd ever work with. I'm sure that he'd be so proud to see his son work on the invention that he had a hand in creating."
Flash smiled and nodded, "Thank you." The two began walking towards the entrance to the lab. "So, what's gonna happen now with the alien gunk?"
"Well. One thing is for sure, we have to keep it in an even more secure space. So here and ESU are both out of the picture. Unless CircoVision plans on taking it to their laboratories. Me and Connors plan on transferring it to DC." He glanced at the bucket, "In a more, cleaner and securer way that is."
Flash chuckled a little and headed for the entrance, "Well I better get going. Have a good night Professor Discord."
Discord nodded and waved to Flash. After he left he turned all his attention to the note Flash had gave him, beginning to read it.
To whoever this matters to
This is substance. It's like a parasite.
It can take over anyone's body and
turn them into something dangerous.
You must take all precautions with it.
If it gets on somebody, they'll be taken
over forever.
BE CAREFUL!
