Chapter 10
The bus ride this time around was quite taxing, nothing much but with Implant constantly talking to him it was quite the hard experience, so he wasn't hallucinating, that was great! that means he gets to have his powers, he could use it the way he wants, the alien didn't care right as long as he is fed, and speaking of which he said this when they were talking about food-
I need to eat human brains, was probably the biggest bombshell Jack has ever heard but there was also a catch, which was chocolate, and should Jack eat it, Implant wouldn't want to eat anything related to humans, and that was great, it was great, it would just mean that he has to spend more money on chocolate, screw his already set monthly schedule, and he will, if this symbiote, or Klyntar has proven to be a great asset, what would be given to him is going to be priceless in the grand scheme of things, and that was great! IF he had them, so, just to check, Jack decided to press the side of the bus, and he felt the metal bend under his finger's force, ecstatic, Jack talked to the Symbiote, not caring about the students around him,
"This is great, so what else can you offer?" Is what he said, some of the students looked at him but then they paid him no mind, it was probably something related to what he was doing most of the time anyways, so who cared right? With that settled, Implant answered-
I can enchance your senses, and like I said, give you rapid healing, possibly enough to heal your broken bones in a single day. That was great! Jack would love to heal from fatal wounds in a single day, and if his guess is right then it also means that he would never be crippled ever again. But that also goes with drawbacks, which was him possibly getting caught with a super healing factor, something that was more or less only found on mutants, and that is bad, he cannot get on the wrong side of society yet, not until he knows he can be independent with his powers, and if he is strong enough to somehow compete with powerful organizations then it would mean that he wouldn't even remotely care about school at all, being a super-powered freak had its perks, but on a larger scale it also comes with massive drawbacks, discrimination was one thing but if you are considered as a threat by the world, they would do their best to remove you from theirs, be it through physical means or emotional ones, no one would sell guns to some asshole that kills people for fun, they wouldn't risk it.
Not that he would do so of course, it was just a thought, one that includes him properly analyzing the drawbacks of his situation,
The bus ride soon ended and the class eventually reached midtown high, leaving the school bus with quick strides, Jack ignored the bullying that went on between flash and Peter, he had his own business to take care of, he had no time to care about Flash and his antics, still, with their entire day of school supposedly over, Jack couldn't wait to test out a few things, he did the things he needed to do in school and left for whatever it was that would account to him training,
Entering his apartment at a little over 3 o clock, Jack went ahead and talked to Implant, "Alright, show me what you got," He said, and he felt a small tug inside his mind, almost as if the symbiote nodded in affirmation,
Got it, were Implant's words before a thick, viscous fluid started to flood out of Jack's skin, it soon covered him from head to toe, Jack felt the air around him shift towards him, that was presumably the symbiote breathing in the surrounding air through its very body, how nifty, Jack thought to himself, should he find the need to get choked, he would be fine as he apparently breath through his skin, "What else can you do?" He added, sure coating him with a soft gel like substance was neat but if that was it, then it would suck, super strength was great but-
"Holy shit." Jack muttered in amazement as his hand formed into a scythe, "This is amazing, you can make weapons?" he couldn't contain his excitement this time around, it was one thing if the symbiote is able to make weapons, but what if it could also-
I am both your shield and your weapon, were the words that entered his brain,
- become an armor of sorts then he would be fine. Implant didn't even wait for him to finish his thoughts before saying that, which was holy shit amazing, he had full body armor that enabled him to be agile and he also had the ability to make weapons, now that is amazing, not to mention the super strength as well, if someone tried to mess with him he would easily be able to cleave them up and cut them piece by piece, which was amazing to say the least, he wasn't planning on killing someone but if the need arose he would totally kill them, it was that easy for him to do it.
Still, saying things is easier than doing them and he doubts that if he finds himself in a situation where he needed to kill he would probably hesitate, but he would still do it, "Alright you can remove yourself now, I just wanted to check," to this Implant started to go back inside him,
Jack prepared his working clothes and turned on his shower, "I wanna see what I can do tonight, do I still need to sleep?" Jack asked and Implant replied with-
Not really.
