CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

The rest of the day was filled with powerless training. As usual, Vanish managed to kick my butt, using her Indestructonium pole to give me a hard time. More than once I was tempted to just use my powers outright and take her down, but I would always catch myself at the last minute and use my martial arts skills or pole instead. Besides, I knew that if I hit Vanish with one of my usual super punches, she would probably die or be crippled for life. She may have been a superhuman, but her powers didn’t include super strength or durability.

But unlike my last session, I was a lot better, actually getting in a few solid hits on Vanish that even she didn’t see coming. I got a lot better with my pole, too, learning how to wield it more smoothly and naturally. It didn’t quite feel like an extension of my body just yet, but it was starting to, and I felt like it would become natural after a few more sessions.

I also told Brains and Vanish about Project Revival, though I did not tell them that Mecha Knight was somehow involved. For some reason, Mecha Knight’s involvement in Project Revival seemed like something that ought to be kept secret, at least until I could figure out exactly what kind of involvement Mecha Knight had. It was just enough that Brains and Vanish knew about Project Revival and its possible aim and purpose, at least for now. I even asked Valerie not to mention Mecha Knight’s involvement in Project Revival to them, which she agreed to.

As expected, they were both horrified and shocked by this revelation. Vanish in particular became anxious when I told her about a possible clone of my uncle running around because apparently, she had a deep set fear of cloning for some reason. Brains seemed less shocked, but he still found it disturbing and said that he would inform the Leadership Council about this as soon as possible.

I wasn’t so sure about that, however. If Mecha Knight was involved in Project Revival, then would the Leadership Council even act on this information? He was a member of the Leadership Council himself, after all. I didn’t want to think he would try to squash it in order to save his reputation, necessarily, but I was still worried about it. Mostly, I was worried that the NHA might take over Vault B for ‘further investigation,’ which might mean I wouldn’t get access to it.

But it was too late now. Brains said he was going to call the NHA tonight and there was nothing I could do about it. I just told Valerie to hurry up her investigation. That way, I would at least have access to all the same information the NHA did, regardless of what the Leadership Council did.

I expected I would sleep well tonight, but before going to bed, we received a phone call from Phobia, who asked me to come to his office in the morning to talk more about the Neo-Killer.
