Marvel Multiverse: Family System

Let's give it a try!

First, Vex stored the [Body Enhancement Serum KW89] into the [Treasures of Kings], specifically the [Golden City].

Then, he retrieved the [Body Enhancement Serum KW89] from the [Treasures of the King] .

One gulp!

"Tsk tsk! Sour and sweet, kind of tastes like a probiotic drink."

There wasn't any intense pain or the cliché of expelling impurities. Vex just felt warm all over, and so comfortable that he yawned.

He immediately hugged Louise and nuzzled her face.

Time for another nap.

Half-asleep, Vex reached out, but found nothing next to him.

He slowly opened his eyes and, after a moment, remembered he had taken the serum and fallen asleep from how good it felt.

It was already dark outside, yet he wasn't hungry. In fact, he felt more energized than ever.

A quick check revealed that the magical power he could draw from the [12 Charms] had increased ninefold!

If he faced the Destroyer again, one punch could smash it into a little tin can!

"Not bad, not too unlucky."

Turning over, Vex activated the [Treasurey of the King], trying to recycle the [Body Enhancement Serum KW89].

Suddenly, a golden vial appeared in the [Golden City]!

Vex's eyes widened in shock.

"Damn! This glitch really works?"

Suddenly, everything went dark before his eyes.

"What the hell?"

A powerful wave of hunger struck, causing Vex to black out.

"What the hell is happening?"

[Host, by recycling the [Body Enhancement Serum KW89], your enhanced genes are lacking nutrients, triggering a hunger response in your body!]

Well, that makes sense.

"Sniff sniff—"

Vex caught the strong smell of meat and floated out of bed into the living room.

Lewis was setting down a plate of steak on a table packed with food.

Seeing Vex float in, she smiled sweetly.

"You're awake. You must be starving. I made a full table of dishes, come and eat!"

Being with his own wife, Vex didn't stand on ceremony.

He activated the [Rabbit Charm] and quickly devoured a steak, three pumpkin pies, and a whole loaf of bread!

"Phew—"

He let out a long breath, feeling alive again.

"This glitch is tricky!"

"What glitch?" Lewis asked worriedly, "You shouldn't eat so fast, you might get indigestion... Wait, do people from your planet even get indigestion?"

Just as Natasha was about to enter the room, she slowed her steps.

Vex's ears twitched.

Without focusing, he had unconsciously noticed the change in the rhythm of her footsteps due to his heightened senses from the hunger.

This sharp awareness wasn't something the [12 Charms] could give him.

While thinking, Natasha entered and met Vex's gaze.

She smiled brightly.

"I hope I'm not interrupting your private time." Natasha apologized, "But there's something urgent I need to tell you..."

She glanced at Lewis, silently seeking Vex's approval.

"Speak freely," Vex said casually, "There's nothing to hide from my woman."

Lewis blushed and kissed him.

"There's a promising female mutant who's appeared in Tennessee," Natasha began, pulling out a tablet.

Displayed was a woman with striking green hair, fierce and beautiful eyes brimming with determination.

"This is mutant 'Lorna Dane,' daughter of Magneto from the Brotherhood, codename 'Polaris.' She's one of the leaders of the 'Mutant Underground.' She's currently being hunted by the 'Sentinel Services.' If someone were to swoop in and save her, they'd likely earn her gratitude."

Wait, was Natasha setting him up with another woman?

Still...

"You expect me to go myself?" Vex teased, "Hero saving the damsel in distress? How cliché."

Natasha shrugged.

"We can only make introductions. Whether you win her over is up to you."

Got it. Not covered by the three-year warranty.

While Vex was mulling it over, Lewis gave him a push.

"Go for it." Lewis encouraged. "You have to bring her back!"

"Oh? So generous?" Vex was surprised.

Supporting him in growing his 'tribe' was one thing, but no jealousy at all?

Lewis glanced at Natasha, then leaned close to Vex's ear.

"Hurry and find more sisters for me. I can't handle you alone."

"If this keeps up, I'll die."

Wait...

Was it his... stamina?

Vex patted Lewis' head and pulled out the [Serum KW89].

"Drink this."

Without question, Louise drank it.

"It tastes good, is this a drink from your planet?" she asked, curious.

"Now you ask?" Vex chuckled. "Didn't you say your chest feels heavy? This will lighten the load."

Lewis' face went pale!

Lighten the load?

Could it be...

"Just kidding," Vex grinned. "This is called the [Serum KW89]. It's a basic serum from my planet. For someone like Barton or Natasha, it could boost their strength by three to twelve times, depending on how well it's absorbed."

Lewis' eyes lit up!

After all...

Barton and Natasha's physiques already far outclassed hers.

With this boost...

"Could I become Captain America?"

Vex tilted his head.

"Oh! You don't know!" Lewis giggled. "When I was a kid, I always dreamed of becoming a superhero! Now my dream..."

Before she could finish, Lewis felt her eyelids growing heavy, and she slumped into Vex's arms.

Vex carried her gently and looked over at Natasha, who was deep in thought.

"This serum is 100% compatible with all carbon-based lifeforms. Name the right price, and it's yours."

Natasha could no longer contain her excitement, a gleam in her eyes!

Three to twelve times the limit of their current capabilities?

To put it in perspective...

Captain America's physique is only about four times that of a normal agent.

This means...

With a little luck, one sip and you could surpass Captain America!
