Michael listened, waiting patiently and not showing much of a reaction. He didn't want to upset Steve more than the poor man already was. "I see... And you think that they'll be after you in an attempt to figure out why it worked on you?" That would make the most sense. But that was the question of a lifetime. Why had it worked on Steve?
"I will admit that I invited you here to hopefully get some samples to see what was done to your body in hopes of improving my own results." He rubbed his neck. "And it's not simply a desire to end up as gifted as you did, but there are some more... intense side effects that I've done to myself that I am intent on trying to rectify. I will promise you this, whatever information and research I do have will be locked away once it is completed though. This I promise you."
"But, I can also understand if you wouldn't want to. I can't imagine all that you went through due to the dark nature of their attempts Steve. I'm sorry that I caused you to have to bring it up." Meru was sympathetic to Steve and his problems.
