Reed nodded a little. "For what it's worth, I put my full faith and confidence in Dr. Samson."
He frowned when Maxine expressed her concerns; that she thought he would do such a thing... Reed tried not to take it personally. She'd only been working here a few weeks after all.
"Please don't feel obligated, Maxine." He started, then added, "My research, I only ever use it to help people. If I don't believe that the world is ready for it, or that someone would bastardize it, I lock it away-- like the unstable molecules. Any findings that we make on your condition will be kept here with the personnel files for the Fantastic Four. Any data regarding your physiology will be as secure as date on mine, or Ben's, or Susan's or Johnny's."
