Max’s face lit up.
“It’s more like a repulsar, but you get the gist,” he said.
“So, this is Mark I47 we’re working on, right?” Lizzy asked.
“Well technically, this particular prototype is Mark II, if we use that logic. It “flies” well, but it needs a pilot to navigate it.”
“That would be me.”
“Correct.”
“Ok, so, when are we going to take this baby for a spin48?”
“We’ll do it tomorrow.”
“Big day, huh?” Lizzy said and gave the glove back to Max. “Should I eat something special or starve myself before the test?”
“Have your regular breakfast. We need to tune49 the glove to all possible situations.”
On the way back home, Lizzy suggested Mark watch all Ironman movies. It was Man of Steel in his world and the name of the superhero was Tim Scott. He was a member of the Punishers’ Club.

When Lizzy and Mark were getting out of the car the next morning, Irene came out of the center with Yana following her.
“Good morning,” Yana was smiling. “Good to see you two in flesh50.”
“Hey, Yana,” Mark said. “Good to see you too.”
“I believe you’ve been briefed about today’s test,” Irene said, looking at Lizzy.
“Should I change my name to Tonya51?” she asked.
No one got the joke. Either Lizzy wasn’t nerdy enough to pull it off52or it was the wrong crowd. She decided it was both.
“No need for any name changing,” Yana said, seemingly puzzled. “We’ll just see if Max’s idea actually works.”
“I hope it does,” Irene said. “Shall we?”
They all proceeded to the house, where Max and his team (Shawna and Tera) were as excited as little children before a birthday party. A special enclosed space was arranged for the test to make sure that no one gets hurt. There was a clear glass container with some vials containing viruses (not lethal ones). Lizzy was to wear a protective suit with electronic sensors for recording her activity and the impact the glove was going to make around her, if any. She would also be wearing a special mask to protect her eyes. Shawna and Tera were going to operate two video cameras to record the test.
