25 Training The Twins
Helen Cho, a beautiful South Korean scientist, is in a really surprised state right now.
Just a few hours ago, she was working on her latest project in her laboratory in a remote corner of Seoul and now she was in a mothership parked on Mars with three strange people.
Though she met one of them a while ago, the fully suited one, he was the one who brought her here after all.
"Meet Dr. Helen Cho, she works as a junior research assistant in South Korea and she will be our temporary crew for a short duration of time." Jerry introduced the beautiful Korean lady to the twins.
The black haired girl scrutinized the so-called temporary crew and inquired, "Does she possess any powers, Jerry?"
"No," Jerry, replied with a snort, "She's just here to help me with some tech work."
Though nervous and slightly apprehensive, Helen nodded awkwardly. Deep down, she was relieved to encounter other humans in this unfamiliar environment.
The arrangement was based on a deal - Jerry would provide her with technologies surpassing Earth's standards, and in return, she would assist him with a task related to her latest project.
Well, she didn't have much choice, he was an alien, and she was afraid of what he might do if she rejected the proposal. Besides, the deal wasn't that bad and he seemed kinda nice.
"She knows what you look like?" Pietro asked sarcastically, suppressing a small chuckle.
Jerry sighed in exasperation, he really needed to Pietro in his place. As he was going to reply, Helen interjected.
"Yes, I know that Mr. Jerry isn't from Earth." She replied to Pietro's query.
"Okay guys," Jerry grabbed both of Helen's shoulders and walked her towards the door, "Dr. Helen needs rest, today was a really exhausting day for her."
"Oh, I'll soon devise a training method for both of you. So, enjoy till you can." He said while exiting the gate.
Jerry didn't know what the twins might say to her next, so he took her away for now.
Helen was going to be, as he said to the twins earlier, just a temporary crew. She didn't need to know more than what he told her.
After Jerry showed Helen her room, he gave her a wrist terminal, it was like a room service phone with a map of the ship embedded into it.
It also served as a tracking device that would show him her location at all times. It wasn't the only tracker on her, of course.
....
Seeing Jerry exit with Helen, Pietro smirked and folded his hands, "I wonder if he can think of something challenging for me..."
.

"This way too much! *hah* hah* LET ME OUT!!!!" Pietro panted, struggling to breathe.
"No, I don't think I will," Jerry's voice was heard from Pietro's earpiece.
"Fuck you, old man!"
*Boom* *Boom*
Multiple robots fired in Pietro's direction, prompting him to move at lightning speed to evade.
Three days have passed since he brought Helen on the ship. While she was busy doing Jerry's assignment, he was here monitoring the training of the speedster.
Today the infrastructure needed for Pietro's training was complete, a labor force consisting of a formidable number of hundreds of thousands of Chitauri soldiers made the feat possible. And apparently, this is Pietro's first day of training.
Jerry had designed this arena for the speedster's phase one training program.
This was a massive stadium built on the abundant empty space on Mars. The raw materials were mostly obtained from the asteroids and processed in the ship.
The goal of this training was to make the speedster run large distances while destroying the enemies that could emerge from anywhere from the platform he was running on.
It is a method that tests and improves his stamina and endurance. It will also make him control his momentum and inertia better. The later phases of training would also include training for better coping with tunnel vision.
Jerry was monitoring from a glass chamber, holographic screens showing him Pietro's form at any moment he wanted.
"Hm, he still has trouble at the initial acceleration. He's also clumsy while stopping. The lack of inertia control is making him lean too much while stopping."
"No matter, he'll improve..." Jerry smiled behind the visor.
Wanda chuckled lightly as she saw her brother's struggles, "And he was so confident earlier... will my training be like this as well?"
He turned her, "Hm.... well, what are favorite movies?"
"Huh?"
.
.
.
Right now, Wanda was lying on a couch, a table in front of her was decorated with popcorn ("picked" up from Earth), a variety of snacks ("picked" up from Earth), and a few cans of soft drinks ("picked" up from Earth).
On the display in her front was a classical tragic romance movie being played.
The black-haired girl was lying pretty idly on the couch snacking on her favorite junk food once in a while.
A particular scene was going on on the screen, the male lead had just grabbed the beautiful actress, their lips inches away. Wanda became a bit more engrossed in the scene, her heartbeat quickened.
Suddenly, a small doll hit her with boxing gloves.
"Ow!!" Wanda rubbed her head as she whined. The blow wasn't that painful but it hurt nonetheless.
Jerry stole this training method from Jujutsu Kaisen, it was a pretty good training method considering Wanda's tendency to flare out due to her erratic emotions.
Engineering this doll was easy enough as a core that measured Ebony Maw's psionic output was already in his possession.
And apparently, it also worked for Wanda's chaos powers.
He just had to tweak that core a bit and build a bot that would give Wanda a little punishment once the energy she poured into the core deviated from the acceptable range.
But damn he was surprised when she broke the first core when he was trying to measure her maximum output.
As expected from one of the main characters of Marvel.
....
As the twins trained and Helen worked on his assignment. Jerry was focused on studying the mutant gene and research data he obtained from the Alkali Lake.
Jerry was no genius, he couldn't invent new mindblowing things or create world-changing formulas but he had the knowledge of one of the smartest people in the universe, Ebony Maw.
And that would be enough for him to devise a way to implant these various mutant genes into the new body he was gonna create, but of course, it might take some time.
His goal was to complete it by the end of Helen's work.
