Reversal

"*Sigh* I'm kind of exhausted..." Stepping onto the elevator, Christian stretched his muscles and swiped the private card, then yawned and leaned against the wall with a small smile "That bitch was pretty frustrated, it was a pleasant day."

Touching his lips, Christian clicked his tongue and muttered "That bitch made me bleed, if it wasn't for my quick regeneration I would have been swollen."

*Ding*

"*Sigh*" Rubbing his neck, Christian stepped off the elevator and yawned, only to freeze as he saw Helen asleep on a large pillow in front of the elevator "My god what is my little girl doing here..."

Crouching down in front of his little girl, Christian gently stroked her chubby cheek and murmured "I'm such a jerk... my little girl was waiting for me and I was wasting my time."

Biting his lips, Christian took a deep breath and gently picked up the pillow with Helen on it, then carried her like a princess and walked into the living room, finding Elisa watching TV while hugging her legs.

Turning her gaze to Christian, Elisa smiles softly and speaks "Welcome home sweetie."

"I'm home" Sitting down next to Elisa, Christian sets the pillow aside and takes Helen in his arms, settling her gently to avoid interrupting her sleep.

"Did you get her out of bed?" raising her eyebrows, Elisa asked.

"The bed? I found it outside the elevator" Frowning slightly, Christian replied.

"..." Frowning with confusion in her eyes, Elisa looked down at Helen and replied "That's impossible, I left her asleep in the room."

"I swear she was outside the elevator, she was on this pillow" Smiling bitterly as she deduced what happened, Christian sighed and continued "She most likely went to the elevator by herself..."

"..." Opening her eyes a little wider, Elisa stared at the sleeping Helen and sighed "She was looking for you all day, when she didn't find you she grabbed the book you read and went to your painting room, she stared at the book in silence for most of the day"

"She's walking enough..." Closing his eyes, Christian sighed and leaned back on the couch, then rested his head on Elisa's thighs and gently settled Helen on his chest.

"..." Gently stroking Christian's hair, Elisa stared at his neutral face in silence, knowing full well the next words she would hear.

"*Sigh* I-"

Quickly covering Christian's mouth, Elisa sighed and smiled softly, then whispered, "Open your eyes and look at me."

Biting his lips, Christian took a deep breath and opened his eyes, instantly observing beautiful eyes full of affection in front of him.

"You're the best father Helen could ask for, and I'm sure your little girl thinks the same" Turning her gaze to the sleeping Helen, Elisa smiled softly and whispered "You know better than anyone that little girl adores you, and you of all people know perfectly well that she will understand you".

"I know... but understanding the reason for my absence will not take away the loneliness you experienced" Smiling bitterly, Christian gently stroked Helen's hair and murmured "My little girl is already walking so much and I can't even see her.... Hopefully I was at her first steps or I would have missed them too... she's growing up so fast and I feel like I'm wasting that time by not being with her."

"..."

"I think... I will take some time off from everything and delay my plans a bit, at least for a few weeks" After thinking about it for a few seconds, Christian sighed and continued "In a while I will have to go film the Vikings series and I will be gone for 5 days a week, I will come back when I am free but I will be gone quite a bit for a month or two... I want to reward that time with my little girl even a little"

"..." Pursing her lips, Elisa sighed and brought her hands to Christian's cheeks, then squeezed them and began to play with them childishly.

Raising his eyebrows, Christian chuckled softly and turned his body slightly, hiding his face perfectly in Elisa's soft stomach.

"Wicked..." Having nothing to squeeze, Elisa pouted and smiled softly, then went back to stroking Christian's hair and whispering "Just don't push yourself too hard... don't forget you're not alone."

"I know..." Closing his eyes with relaxation, Christian inhaled Elisa's sweet scent deeply and whispered "I'll get everything ready for us to go back to Malibu in about two days, I'll get to fix my girl's room personally while we're there..."

"If that's what you want..." Nodding with a small smile, Elisa laid her head back on the couch and closed her eyes, enjoying every little moment with all her heart.

***

"You're here" Looking at the man entering the room, Lila smiles slightly and takes a sip of coffee "Pretty early, it's only 9 am".

"I won't be in all day today, I'll be going out around 5" Looking at Lila's current appearance, Christian rubs his chin and nods with satisfaction "You look pretty good wearing only a baggy t-shirt and panties, not wearing bras gives you an extra point"

"Heh" Turning her body slightly on the chair, Lila spreads her legs and whispers "They're the same design as yesterday's."

Looking down at Lila's fleshy lower lips and noticing how she slowly begins to glisten, Christian chuckled and commented "I just got here and you're already wet, you horny bitch."

"What can I do? You drive me crazy" Chuckling, Lila closed her legs again and continued eating her breakfast, while Christian lay down on the couch and settled back.

After a few seconds of silence, Christian yawned and spoke "Lila".

"Yes?"

"Do you know how to draw blood?"

"Yes."

"Draw my blood and give me a portable blood container, I'll give you half of what we draw... I want to find out what I have."

"Hoh, and what happened to your previous demands?" Raising her eyebrows with interest, Lila looked at Christian with a twinkle in her eye and commented teasingly "Are you interested in being my lab rat yet?"

"Not at all, but I think it wouldn't hurt to start investigating why I'm so weird" Pursing his lips in thought, Christian continues "But don't forget that this blood will only be in your hands, if I find out there are more scientists behind it our deal is over instantly."

"I would never dare to deceive my dear Lucifer~"

"It makes me uneasy to know that you just lied to me."

"As scary as ever" Not caring about being found out, Lila took a sip of coffee and continued "Don't worry with your blood, I promise no one will know it's yours or where I got it from, not my family, not anyone."

"Good" Nodding with satisfaction that she's not lying, Christian thought for a few seconds and asked "So you do have other scientists watching her, don't you?"

"Yes, it's much faster and I doubt I can do it alone, I have several geniuses in my ranks."

"Then just make sure they are trustworthy, for some reason I feel very upset just thinking about the idea that there are weird people touching something of mine" Frowning slightly while touching his stomach, Christian mumbled inaudibly "Very upset... how weird."

"Don't worry, I'll personally oversee everything."

"Lila by any chance how much brain research do you have going on?"

"Mmmm, nothing very far from what is released to the public, the truth is that it is very difficult for current technology to get to its deepest secrets and I dare say we don't even know 10% of how it works" Rubbing her chin, Lila continued "The brain is a monstrous tool and although I am ashamed to say it, it is a project that has taken the most money and had the least results within my laboratories"

"I see..." Squinting with a twinkle in his eye, Christian continued "Have you tried to create machines to study the brain further?"

"Obviously, but with today's technology it's impossible, not to mention that the deeper you want to study, the more damage the patient usually receives, although well, that doesn't matter when you buy them."

"It will be great to be able to control the brain internally..."

"Like puppets?"

"Not only that, but in the field that we can create realities that do not even exist inside people's heads... it would not be too much to say that with that we could create an immersive virtual reality... we would only have to create an external connector that can control your brain..."

"It is feasible, the brain creates this reality after all" Shrugging, Lila continued "If we could manipulate it completely, we could change the reality externally easily. An immersive virtual reality wouldn't be too difficult if we could have that."

"Isn't that terrifying?" chuckling, Christian continued "If we manage to create an immersive virtual reality with NPCs that can be controlled via AI, wouldn't that make it all possible for us to be a virtual reality ourselves? After all it would be very arrogant to think that we are the first in existence to do this."

"It's a question mark in the world of physics, there are several theories on that comment."

"Creating an immersive virtual reality... it would be amazing for training soldiers" Squinting his eyes as his thoughts became faster and faster, Christian continued "Lila, come to think of it... you never tried an external medium to enhance the human being?"

"External means? If you're talking about robots and the like, we're honestly not interested, we're looking to improve the inside."

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about something external that improves the inside."

"If you're talking about serums or similar things, obviously yes. But we haven't had any satisfactory results at all. Human DNA is too complex even for us."

"I'm not talking about touching DNA, I think you're too locked into that" Shaking his head, Christian continued "You know how cancer works, don't you? That shit is mutating your cells and causing chaos inside you."

"Yeah."

"What if you mutate the cancer so that instead of causing chaos inside you, it's dedicated to improving the inside? You know, instead of weakening, it strengthens."

"..." Blinking in a daze for a few seconds, Lila frowns slightly and mutters inadvertently "Using something deadly to enhance the inside... usually it would be silly but if we're talking about cancer... it wouldn't be too hard to mutate it, we have enough data... why didn't I think of that before?"

Rising suddenly from her chair, Lila turns to Christian and quickly approaches him, then grabs him by the cheeks and kisses his lips carelessly.

Pulling away after a few seconds, Lila smiles with a twinkle in her eye and runs into the room while shouting "Another day I'll take your blood, I have to go see the feasibility of this!"

"..." Licking his lips, Christian lowers his gaze and mutters "Was it really a good idea? It was just a passing thought..."

***

After that sudden comment from Christian, Lila changed her clothes and went off somewhere unknown, leaving Christian with a helpless smile and no choice but to return home.

The day passed quickly and with Christian's new conviction, his main target of attention was Helen, who set about painting Christian's canvases with different colors, successfully managing to have a pleasant day.

"Who are you talking to?" Lying down next to Christian completely naked, Eva hugged his stomach and asked with interest, staring at the man who messaged quickly with a small smile.

"With Pride's father, he just sent me a picture of her cooking in a pink apron."

"Pride is the woman on your team, isn't she?" Raising her eyebrows, Eva asked.

"Yes."

"Do you always talk to her father?"

"Once in a while, now I spoke to him to ask him about Pride since she didn't answer me."

"Do you always talk to her?" frowning slightly, Eva asked with obvious jealousy in her voice.

Rolling his eyes, Christian puts the cell phone aside and turns his gaze to Eva, then gently strokes her cheeks and replies "I talk every day with my team. We may not see each other much but I always make sure to maintain our connection."
