13 Newfound Ability

"Follow behind, don't wander off," Peggy said as she and Heaven got off the vehicle.

Heaven smiled at Peggy's words and simply remained quiet.

Leading the way, Peggy led Heaven through various areas, introducing them one by one with minimal explanation. Since Heaven wasn't going to be working at the military base, there wasn't much for him to really know about it.

All Peggy really told Heaven were places he could enter with his identity and position as well as places he couldn't enter.

Eventually, Peggy led Heaven to the last area, the training grounds.

In the training grounds were various soldiers training, either separately or in their assigned groups.

"Here, we train the soldiers and prepare them for battle in CQC, Close Quarters Combat. Unlike the firing range that trains the precision and handling of weapons, here we train their stamina, strength, and combat skills," Peggy explained as she watched the soldiers train.

After watching them for a while, Peggy turned to look at Heaven. She looked at him and inspected his expression, hoping to find something out of the ordinary that would reveal him to be a spy.

Still, Peggy saw no nervousness or agitation at all in Heaven's eyes.

Heaven looked at the fighting techniques the soldiers were displaying and silently shook his head in disappointment.

Their techniques were all over the place and showed no real cohesion or flow.

A single hit of his could take out the strongest and most skilled of the soldiers before him. They wouldn't be able to fight back at all, nor would they be able to get past his defenses.

Still, Heaven wasn't planning on offering his services to train them. He was simply making an observation.

Looking at Peggy, Heaven asked, "Agent Carter, your skills are much more refined, am I correct?"

Peggy raised her eyebrows, before nodding slightly to Heaven's question. Despite Heaven's blatant voicing of the soldiers skills being terrible, Peggy could infer that Heaven had good perception at being able to notice said lack of skill.

The soldiers had been training for the past 2-5 years and yet their combat skills were quite terrible.

"If you're quite strong and intelligent, why don't you apply for the Super Soldier Program as well?" Heaven asked.

Yet despite asking, Heaven already knew the reason.

Peggy looked at Heaven, her eyes stared into his, looking for signs of any other emotion other than curiosity.

After a while, she finally opened her mouth.

"The military values more an American rather than someone like me who is not from here and is a woman," Peggy explained without a hint of emotion on her face.

Turning her head, Peggy looked at the soldiers trained and sighed in her heart. She wasn't really tempted for the Super Soldier Serum, but if need be, she would take the chance and defend the Allies.

Heaven smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll get your chance."

Turning to look at Heaven, Peggy wondered just how he was going to do that. However, that matter little to her right now.

What she was more focused on was figuring out whether Heaven was a spy or not.

So far, nothing has been revealed if he was a spy, so she will have to keep an eye on him for the next couple of months.

If needed, the military might just send him to war to determine his alliance.

"Thank you for the tour, Agent Carter," Heaven said as he got out of the car with his items and stood outside his house.

Peggy smiled and said, "We'll be seeing each other more often, so let's do it again some day."

Heaven nodded and smiled as Peggy was driven away.

"So the military will keep an eye on me for the next couple of days… huh…" muttered Heaven.

Grabbing the two cases, Heaven walked into his house and went straight to his room. His mother wasn't home yet and Santos seemed to have left the house as well.

With no one in the house to bother him, Heaven began setting up the equipment and chemicals.

Grabbing the burners, flasks, tubes, and the chemicals, Heaven went through the process of making his special elixir.

With bright eyes, he mixed the chemicals and heated them at the right temperatures before mixing them even further. He separated others and continued the tedious process. His movements were swift and precise, not a single mistake was made despite this being his first time making this new recipe of his special elixir.

Mixing at certain time intervals and even sometimes doing other things like blowing air at it or even causing slight ripples through the chemicals by tapping at the test tubes, Heaven did a lot of unorthodox things whilst preparing the elixir.

Strangely enough, these were all processes he needed to do to create the perfect and enhanced state of his elixir.

An hour passed and Heaven watched as the result of his work was finally coming to fruition.

All those chemicals he had used had all reached a special state of fusion after combining and separating in a special pattern before they all suddenly turned into ten drops of golden purple liquid.

With bright eyes, Heaven picked up nine of the ten drops and threw them into his mouth without a second thought.

The instant those nine drops made contact with his tongue, they seeped into his tongue and into his body.

"Ah… this is wonderful…" muttered Heaven as he smiled with a look of bliss on his face.

He could feel those nine individual drops causing his body to heat up and tingle. He could sense how those individual drops separated and began to change his body.

His mind was becoming sharper and his eyesight was improving by the second.

Heaven could feel as his heart began to beat much faster and stronger as it pumped his blood through his body more efficiently and faster. His body felt much more resilient and he could feel a newfound energy burst within him, wiping away the little sleepiness he had.

He could feel his muscles and organs changing and becoming much stronger and enhanced.

Even deep in his bones, Heaven could feel those drops penetrating into them and changing them. Heaven began to feel pain, but he focused on the change happening in his bones.

He could feel how his bone marrow was changing and it was turning into something like those nine drops he had consumed. It was unprecedented, but it was something Heaven expected to happen due to a change in ingredients.

Welcoming the change, Heaven sensed the changes and wondered what they would cause in the future.

Opening his eyes, Heaven could feel the change of his entire body and his enhanced senses.

Waving his hand, Heaven could feel how his strength had increased and his potential infinite.

Smiling, Heaven was just about to begin cleaning his room when he suddenly felt something from his bone marrows.

Closing his eyes and focusing his senses, Heaven could see the new blood his body was producing. Despite the usual red color, the new red blood cells contained a slight golden purple glow to them and the much newer ones had a slight change in color to them.

As more blood was produced and recycled, his blood slowly turned into a golden purple color.

It was like his blood was changing and evolving thanks to this new version of the Metamorphosis Elixir.

Feeling the new and changed blood flowing through his veins and arteries, Heaven watched curiously as they slowly headed up to his brain.

BANG!

The instant those new blood cells entered Heaven's brain, he suddenly fell unconscious on the floor.

Deep within his brain, tiny and unnoticeable details of breakage and deformities were slowly being repaired and enhanced due to the nine drops of Metamorphosis Elixir and now, they were being 'fueled' by the new blood cells that were carrying new forms of nutrients and a larger amount of oxygen.

Before, in the past, Heaven had deliberately separated his soul in order to fix the poor and terrible quality of his brain. Heaven had returned to his body without properly finishing the job due to much needed help from the real world.

However, now thanks to the Metamorphosis Elixir and the special change of his special blood, Heaven had completely fixed his brain and was even much better than before.

Yet something else seems to be happening to his brain thanks to his special blood…

***

Hours later…

Opening his eyes, Heaven found that the sunlight was bursting through his windows and brightening his entire room.

Standing up in a jolt, Heaven carefully inspected his entire body before focusing on his brain.

"Strange…" Heaven mumbled.

Aside from his acuity being stronger, Heaven seemed to see no other changes after his new and special blood went to his brain.

Sighing, Heaven closed his eyes and felt his blood and noticed that over 80% of it was now a golden purple color. The rest of his blood was changing, and slowly at a much more rapid pace as his heart was beating much stronger and faster. As his blood changed, every other portion of his body was also going through a special qualitative change.

Shaking his head, Heaven decided to focus on the changes when they become more apparent or important. Right now it was simply too early to say anything.

Moving his gaze, Heaven focused on a single drop of Metamorphosis Elixir that was left over from the previous night.

Unlike the other nine drops Heaven had taken, this single drop that was left behind was only a purple color. It had absorbed the impurities that the other nine drops once held as they were forming.

Heaven couldn't take this drop since those impurities would have made him weaker instead of making him stronger like how he wanted.

Originally, Heaven planned to take only five drops since that was all his body needed. Yet the unprecedented good quality of his Metamorphosis Elixir caused Heaven to take nine drops. These nine drops changed his body and even provided the energy his body needed to support that change.

Although he didn't know what the result would have been if Heaven had taken all ten drops if they were perfect, Heaven had an instinctive feeling that he would have died if he took that last drop of Metamorphosis Elixir.

Shaking his head, Heaven planned to store this impure drop of Metamorphosis Elixir for whatever he may need in the future.

Reaching over to the last drop, Heaven suddenly stopped as he kept his arm outstretched towards the last drop.

His eyes were filled with awe as he looked at the last drop floating in front of his open hand.

'It's floating.'

Heaven thought to himself as he curiously stared at the floating drop before him.

Moving his hand away slowly, Heaven looked at the floating drop with interest.

'This… I'm controlling it with my mind…' thought Heaven as he seemed to feel a sort of invisible connection between himself and the drop.

'Interesting…'

Controlling the drop, Heaven sent the drop into a small flask to contain the drop.

After putting it away safely, Heaven quietly stood still as he thought about what had happened.

With a curious thought, Heaven turned his attention to a couple of pencils on his table before attempting to move them as well.

Focusing his mind, Heaven managed to instantly grasp the method to move items with his mind.

Out of 11 pencils he had spread out on his table, Heaven was able to control all of them, manipulating them with ease. He was able to control each individually, but it wasn't long before his mind began to feel tired.

Setting the pencils down, Heaven recovered his mental energy rapidly thanks to his much stronger and enhanced body and mind.

Seeing how he had no problem with control or precision, Heaven turned his attention to a much heavier item, his bed.

Focusing his mind, Heaven began to spread his control onto the bed before attempting to slowly lift it.

In the end, it only rose an inch before he set it back down.

Nodding his head, Heaven quickly realized that the strength and energy his new ability had was rather weak and limited. Although it was nothing training couldn't fix.

He had great control and finesse over his telekinesis, reducing the amount of energy used by quite a lot. An action that required ten units of energy to move would only need half a unit from Heaven.

With his telekinesis just being awakened, Heaven barely had a unit of energy to use.

Shaking his head, Heaven looked around the room, searching for something.

Telekinesis was tired to his mind, if his mind got stronger, so would his telekinesis, but it would not be the same if it were flipped. His telekinesis getting stronger wouldn't affect his mind.

That being the case, Heaven decided to bring telekinesis to its full potential and strength.

Before strengthening his mind, he will focus first on his telekinesis.

****************

A/N: Would you readers mind if I do a small time skip?

Reasoning: There's not much to really mention right now. Since I'm planning on taking a much slower approach in improving the strengths of characts, moving plot along, and relationships, at this point of the story, it's all stale.

Do not worry about anything caused by the time skip, the only thing that will change in the time skip will be a small increase in friendliness between Heaven and the other characters. No major improvement in their relationships, so nothing like 'Oh, he had sex with all the women and they're now his lovers, etc.'

The time skip will bring the plot to the day Steve gets his strength and Abraham Erskine dies.
