Re: Sunday Dinner
Howard wasn't sure which question to answer first, shoving a hand in his pocket and rubbing his chin with the other one. The two of them seems suddenly concerned, and he couldn't understand why.
"Hurt him? No more than any kid who grows quickly, and it isn't any strange form of genetics that makes that happen. Happens all the time, Abraham told me, and that's where he developed the serum from, whatever it was that pushed the buttons in the genetic code to get the growth." Howard indicated the child. "And if he's a clone then he will definitely be a lot bigger, as the DNA they cloned him from is the accelerated, treated DNA, so that, with the decent diet the kid will get compared to what you had to grow up on Steve, will mean he will grow to his full potential. What we did was done at a cellular level, and his body has every cell with the super strength to begin with, from birth." He shrugged. "It's like all kids, look at Richie. He's a combination of Tony and AJ's genes, and he's taller and stronger than the two of them. Your little Steve here is a combination of you," he said, pointing at Steve, "and Abraham's serum after it was triggered." He smiled as he thought of Abraham. "Damn I wish Abraham was here to see this, he would be over the moon!"
