Betty was running the last scan as it finished..
"It is up and running. Ready to go when you are.."
Barbara looked to Alex..
You ready to do this, Son?"

Alex-
He smiled and shook his head. " I know we have alot to catch up on but seriously? Now isn't a good time you know. Even if there isn't much to do but sit around and wait. "
He tilted his head hearing the chamber being mentioned and he couldn't help but feel excited at the thought. Just like the first time. " I was ready the first time, and that hasn't changed now. "

Alana smiled nodding. That was all she needed to hear. In a matter of a few short minuets the apparatus was transplanted into the new armor. " Alright sexy, let's get you and your friend into the tank. Then i'll fine tune you after. " The data transfer was finished and with the basic command system in place, the new armor moved to the tank. She would seal the old armor and make it nice and shiny as a keepsake for later.
" Ok Alex, i'm sure you know what to do from here. "

Alex-
He smiled and looked to his mother and sister. " This should be interesting for you to see. And don't worry, i'll be safe. " He stood straight, stretched and rolled his head and shoulders to loosen up. A few deep breaths to center himself and he walked to the chamber. He noticed the choppy motions of the new armor. The same as the original before bonding. He opened the tank door before he entered the armor.
Once sealed in, he stepped in pulling the door closed behind him. This would activate the sequence automatically. The chamber sealed and the liquid began to flood the chamber as the radiation formula began mixing and warming up. He turned and faced the small window to see everyone else standing outside. The face-plate of the armor opened and he smiled as the rest of the armor followed protocol as well. Locking it's joints in place for added safety. He couldn't help but remember the excitement from the first time. Being suited up, in the first tank. Watching the liquid rise around him, the doc watching him through the view port. In ten minuets the face-plate slid shut as the liquid reached the neck and then over the head.
The buzzer sounded and the next segment began. Ten seconds counted down before the radiation formula began it's rapid pulse. The medical readout showing steady vitals. He was calm and focused. His mental patters would spike with each pulse, the armor's readout would spike to match him. The original armor would twitch as the bond left in it's shell slowly faded as the new one was formed. The pulses would remain steady at ten seconds apart for two minuets, then they would drop to five seconds apart for another two minuets before stopping. The face-plate would open and one final sustained burst fired for one minuet.
The readings would red-line shortly before the system shut down and began draining. The process was complete and the readings from both would be stable if not better than before entering. When the liquid dropped below his neck he took a few deep breaths to get the fuzziness out of his head. The locks released and he began to move to test the motions and the fit. Surprised as the armor self adjusted for a better fit and to allow greater range of motion. " Wow....it's like a second skin. " Once the tank was drained, the door unsealed and he stepped out. Once out he held his hands out and the weapon system cycled through several bladed options with his thoughts. Seconds apart as he couldn't help but grin. " Amazing....the performance is already way up and the response time is several seconds shorter. "

They all watched as the process ran its course.. Betty watched his vitals like a hawk and took notes as Tony stood with Alana making sure all ran smoothly..
Barbara watched as the worried mother look was clear..Alexis watched as she closed her eyes and they twitched as she tried to block out the things Alex felt ..
Mareena watched quietly.. but if anything started going wrong she was ready to act..
Time went by like hours and finally it was over and she and the others smiled watching him walk out..
Mareena walked up as he was testing taking a scan making sure all reading Tony, Alana, and Betty would also get as she said..
"Well i am double checking, Hun.. I just got you as a boyfriend and i am not taking any risks..So deal with it.."
Barbara and Alexis both smirked..
Betty chuckled..
Tony sighed..
"So ummm yeah.. Hows the readings Alana?"

Alana stood by watching, waiting, studying. This process was old but advanced for it's time. And with modern tech and the advancements in medical areas in place, this was something on a higher level than the creators could do. She soon tapped into her new skills as well, looking deeper into it than scans could do. Whispering under her breath. " So beautiful...so amazing. " Seeing the soul of the armor transplant to the new location, the twisting and wrapping of the new armor's tech and control merging with the organic mind of Alex. The two becoming almost the same mind and being.
The whole process was strange but interesting, the only thing that worried her was the sudden red line but nothing seemed wrong. Part of the process after all. She continued to scan the tank, armor and Alex for anything that had been missed. So far nothing and that was good. Finally it ended and Alex and his armor stepped out. The reaction and surprise in his words made her grin as Mareena stepped forward to scan him. " Well of course it's faster. The tech is much more advanced. And the more settled into the feel of the new armor the faster and better it will get. "
She tilted her head softly and chuckled. " The readings are in perfect operational range. The only thing left is him to get used to it and for the paint job of course. The repairs to the tank and the upgrades have actually improved the overall performance and potential of this set up. "

Alex-
He blinked at Mareena's words. He hadn't gone through this in full before but....boyfriend already? He didn't even get to ask for a date yet. What was he getting himself into? But he shook his head and smiled. " Scan away, I don't think you'll find anything to worry about though. " He looked at his mother with a look of a deer caught in the headlights still. When Alana and Tony began to speak he turned his attention to them. Testing the range again and stretching to the limits. The armor moving flawlessly, and was perfectly in synch with his own bodies motion abilities. " You mean it will constantly learn with me and adjust to me? Paint job? Nothing flashy please, this is meant for stealth operations after all. "
He smiled again as he felt the armor's link with him finally settle in full. There was no haze, no disconnect as there had been.

Barbara smirked at Alex..trying not to laugh at the look..
Alexis blinked smirking..
Tony looked at Alana saying..
"What is up.. Your look and tone shifted."
Tony looked to Alex..saying..
"Yep"
Mareena looked to him and smiled..
"Your scans are fine.. So where shall i take you for our first date? Dinner? Movie? Dancing? "

Alana smiled shaking her head. " Nothing's up. I'm impressed...and a bit worried. But then again I had the same feelings each time I completed my boys. The potential here is.....well unknown. The guys that put this armor together then were brilliant. What we just did basically made that young man and his armor a force no one should ever piss off. "
She smiled softly watching Alex and the others and grinned at Alex. " No worries there I promise. "

Alex:
He arched a brow and was stuck. He really didn't know how to respond to any of this. He looked to Alana and gave a smile understanding. A few more motions to test the suit as he moved around a bit to distract himself. Allow himself to think. " Well I'm so out of it I wouldn't know where to begin. And well call me cautious, but after the dancing earlier I'm leaving that off until I know I won't have any issues. "

Mareena looked to him still waiting for a answer to her question..
Tony nodded..
"We that is good.. Don't be like me. I test stuff and push the bar to much.. Alot of booms.."
Alexis just watched and was learning from that..
Barbara nodded and suddlely looked to her son as she hinted to Mareena with her head..

Alex:
He blinked lightly and almost face palmed himself. He looked to Mareena with a soft smile. " Sorry....I get like that sometimes. Unfortunately i'm in the position of being, pardon the term, a fish out of water. I know nothing about what is what anymore. Dancing isn't something I want to push until i'm sure I won't pass out again but I'd love to see a movie and dinner. If my account is still active? " He looked to his mother curiously. He had one opened up during high-school when he was working part time. He didn't know if it had been closed or if it had been kept open.
" I'm old fashioned....A man pays for the lady no matter what. "

Barbara smirked nodding as she held up his savings accout book and smiled knowing all these years he had alot more then he thought plus she had been putting money in off and on too. she walked over handing it to him and smiled..
"Just don't spend it all in one night?"
a old thing she use to tell him as when he looked at it that would be the priceless picture as he saw $9,587,154.49
Mareena sighed and nodded as she knew it would take time for him to understand 2021 .. and that the 1970s was very old fashion to her..

Alana smiled and shrugged. " I push things far enough. Honestly the first two power sources for the boys blew up when first activated and charged. " She watched the others and shook her head. " I've learned a lot from watching and studying your work Tony. But I am a bit more cautious than you are. "

Tony chuckled..
" Cautious? Me Never,, I put it together and make sure all the parts and systems work.. then Jarvis and i work out the bugs.. I have busted 8 sports cars, 20 floors, Umm and argue with my helper robots daily .."
He gave that Stark smirk with alittle cheekiness in it..

Alex-
He took the book and card and pin that came with it. Which of course was new. He smiled and flipped it open and blinked. His eyes nearly popping out of his head. " This.....is...a lot. Ummm....." He looked back at his mother in shocked surprise. He wasn't sure what he had expected but this was a lot.
After he managed to get himself collected, the armor opened and he stepped out of it easily. Letting it return to Alana and stark for finishing. He smiled, looking to Mareena. " Well....since i'm not sure what's what. How about you take the lead and show me around? If Betty says i'm clear enough? "

Tony put his hands up like guilty and smiled like he always does as he then pointed to Alana as the armor walked back to them empty to finish it;s checks ..
"Here it comes"
Barbara smiled as she handed Alexis her bank stuff that she had set up not giving up hope as she called them both to her..
"Before any of you leave i am going to explain your accounts and how the cards work.."
As she now when one at a time with how each think worked 1. Explained the accout book, 2. The check book, 3 the debit card..
Mareena looked to Betty as they both reviewed his and Alexis bio readings and vitals..as Betty said..
"I don't like these readings.. It seems right now if he pushes himself he passes out. Like dancing with you..It seems when he gets a Adrenalin surge his brain over loads and then he drops. I need to find out what is causing that.."
Mareena looked to Alex and then to Betty..saying..
"If he will let me. I can go in psychically and check the Adrenalin Glans and then trace the rout and see it i can find the issue?"
Betty Nodded and thought it is a chance.. Because if he kept doing this she would have to put him in Medbay for a unknown time till she could find the issue medically..She waited for Alexis and Alex to finish..

Alex-
He looked to his mom and joined at her motion to follow. He and Alexis were then told how the newer system worked with their accounts. He'd known how to balance and use his check book but the card was new.
While this was going on, the readings would cycle again now that the process had been done again. He wasn't stable yet, but the start of that had begun. But with the data already given by the armor and the coding from Alana, it wouldn't take long before results would begin flashing. And of course, if asked he would agree to whatever needed to be done.

After Alex was done with his mom Betty called him over to have a seat as she asked..
"You seem to be getting better but the bio reading in your body show when you get a Adrenalin surge your brain over loads and then you drops. Will you let Mareena psychically and check the Adrenalin Glans and then trace the rout and see it she can find the issue?"
Mareena smiled..
"I promise not to look anywhere in your mind. This is to see if there is issues with the glans."
Mareena thinks she knows the issues but check the glan was first.. her personal thought was the link between Alexis and Alex may be the issue.. Alexis was a strong telepath.. And her power maybe overloading Alex..

Alex-
He came over and sat. " I feel like i'm better but your the doc so. " He gave a shrug leaning back in the chair a bit. " So....something still isn't right and you want to find out what it is? I'm game, just be careful ok? " He chuckled at Mareena's promise not to poke around in his mind and winked at her. " I doubt you'd find much up there anyway. "
He took a breath and relaxed, letting himself be as open and still as needed for this.

Mareena stepped forward looking down at him as she smirked.
"Really?"
At that her eyes whited out and she mentally started sensing his cells as she looked into the glan that created Adrenalin. Checking the cells and how it was working then slowly followed it through out his body as Mareena's hand was out and the reading was showing on the monitor for Betty and Alex to see.. If Alana looked around as well it would be easy to see..as she scanned a psychic surge went through his body at a low level but Mareena caught it as it gave a reading the linked in to Alex's head and Mareena suddenly caught a chemical imbalance in Alex's head..It was the same odd reading that surged on Alana's screen the one time..She saw it effect his Adrenalin Glans and followed it to his brain as she suddenly found it and knew what it was.. the monitor showed the imbalance as then a flash and Mareena was thrown 50 feet back bashing threw a work table as her body caved the table in..Then they heard Alexis..
"You said you would not probe is mind only the Glans.. You lied.."
Alexis turned as her eyes was white and Barbara and the furniture around her was thrown back..
"LIAR"
As a raw psychic blast fired at Mareena .. But Mareena stood and her eyes glowed Blue white as she countered the attack and used a psychic shield as the blast hit it..saying..
"Back off sweet cheeks! You are the reason he is having so much trouble! Your psychic link with him.. You psychic energy is creating feed back in Alex .. You are the one hurting him and the reasons he is passing out from the overload.. You so afraid of loosing him and now that you finally see him.. Your forcing a stronger link and you are hurting him!"
Alexis yelled..
"LIAR.. Everyone knows Atlantians hate air breathers and you are the one bad for him.. I will not let you hurt my twin!"
Alexis started throwing things at Mareena with her telekinetic powers as Mareena had had enough of these senseless attacks from Alexis again.. She came in like a bull as things just bounced off her as she upper cut Alexis with a right hand hit hard enough you could hear Alexis's jaw crack and blood flew.. Alexis flew back slamming into a steel wall and bounced off it and on to the floor..
"Now be smart and stay down.. I have had it with your jealousy over me having your brother's attention and your phobia of loosing him ... You attack me again ..I will put your ass in a coma.."
Barbara was getting up as Alexis did not know when she threw things back she hurt her Mom.. as Barbara stood with a steel rod stabbed threw her side..

Alex:
He kept himself calm for Mareena to do what she needed. Unaware of course, of what was about to happen.
The scanning was indeed able to find what was wrong. It wasn't only his mind, but his whole body was unstable at the moment. The new process would take time to complete which would leave him less than his best until then. And then the link that was forming and being forced to strengthen with his Sister wasn't helping either. But there was still more, it was the one glaring problem that would always persist and that was the anger triggers.
But then he felt the attack and snapped around to try and react. He couldn't keep the two from attacking each other, but he managed to get between them, long enough to see his mother bleeding. " Enough! Betty, moms hurt! " He hurried over, dragging a spare bed over for her to lay on.

Betty was on the move as she ran to Barbara..Mareena turned and saw her hurt as the bar was thrown at her and she dodged it as now she saw it hit her friend.. Mareena was pissed at Alexis but her ER Training kicked in as she moved to help Betty with Barbara..
Alex had got a bed there as Betty and Mareena got her on it and moved to the mad area as it was all hands on deck now.. Betty turned on the scanner as she checked Barbara.. As Alex saw it all.. His mom's body was full of Cyber Nanobots.Betty was scanning to make sure the Bar did not hit any main origins..
"Mareena get the hypo shot..I need to put her out to remove the bar.."
Mareena was working as she set up all Betty's needs.. the hypo and med er gear..
Tony looked at the scans and put a chair by Alex..
"You sit.. Your body is still adjusting to the new armor and bio pattern your body has..Less you want Betty Grounding you.. sit and rest and tell your sister to stay out of your head and stop the link.. She keeps forcing it.. You will be nothing but a slag in a peatry dish. Betty is well trained and the best.. So is Mareena."

Alana watched and tinkered. The armor would be finished pretty soon. But whatever was going on now was going to be trouble. From the way things seemed to be going, she made it a point to make herself as small as a target as possible just in case things didn't remain calm. And sure enough, a major cat fight broke out. The armor turned and made itself a shield as well. All that was left was the pain job and with the mobile work station in place, even that wouldn't take long. Not with the new tweaks to the armor.
She did reach out to try and keep Tony from getting in the middle but was out of reach and a few seconds too late.

Alex-
He listened partly to Tony's words. But he wasn't going to sit. Instead, keeping himself as calm as possible he moved out of the way so Betty and Mareena could do their jobs. The scans of the nanites came in but he wasn't worried about that. He'd been told some of what she'd gone through. No his focus had to be on Alexis. If the link was bad or not he didn't know, but he did now she had been scared and acted impulsively, dangerously. And that he had to deal with.
He stepped over to her and looked down at her, saying nothing but instead used this link to talk with her. ' Sis, you need to back off. I know your worried and scared but you shouldn't be. We are family and we have a lot of time to get to know each other. I just found out I had a sister, do you really think i'm going to leave that fact alone? Mom didn't even know, and now she has both of her children back. I....like Mareena and she has done what she said and nothing more. Please, let her and Betty do their jobs so we can have as much time together as we can handle. And according to the brains and medical, this link needs to be something developed slowly, little by little and not forced all at once. It could hurt me. '
He took her hand in his and held it firmly. ' So sis, how about it? Can we take this slow and could you help your brother not embarrass himself when he goes out? '

Tony walked back to Alana and just shook his head.. The look on his face said it all. It was clear Alexis had issues.. But he was staying out of it. He turned to help Alana..
Alexis very bruised from Mareena;s punch looked at Alex and he could feel her scared. She had just got her family and was terrified of loosing it. Gen. Ross had screwed her up bad with lies about her family. She listen and felt the hand as she just grabbed him and held tight as she broke..Tear fell as she nodded. Slow day by day. Done let the fear control her..He could feel all this in emotions from the link. The link went to a health normal level as they both could feel it. She was honestly trying..As far as embarrassing himself that would need alot of work was a fleeting thought from her..
Betty saw the scans as they was in position to remove the object and Barbara just took it in her hand and pushed it out as Betty just said..
"Damnit Barbara!!"
Mareena went into action as he grabbed the area to stop bleeding.. Betty took her Ipad and turned the nanites on Hyper healing and repair. Since the Nanites was her creation..Barbara saying..
"Would you two stop acting like i am some damn china doll.. I have been through a hell of a lot worse Jeeze."

Alex-
He smiled softly and squeezed her hand comfortingly. Like their mother had done with him so many times as a child when he was afraid. When she grabbed him he sat next to her, held her close. Feeling the fear, the stress that she had gone through then and the fear she felt now. If he ever came across the general that did this to her..... He forced that out of his head, he didn't need that messing with anything right now. ' Slow and steady sis. We all just found each other again. So much to catch up on, to get to know each other and memories to make. ' He chuckled at her attempt at poking fun at his asking her with help on the embarrassment bit.
He shook his head and teased. ' Awww....no faith in your brother. Not nice. ' He tried to keep his focus on her for now but chuckled at what he heard. " Ladies, i'd not make that mistake again. Dad did that once and only once. Mom is what dad liked to call, one tough bird. "

Alana smiled when Tony returned. Best to let that sort itself out.She tilted her head though as something flashed across her screen. The armor had detected something that it deemed...troublesome. She made a note for Betty later as it seemed medical related. She looked over to the scene and shook her head. " Life is never dull is it? "
