Second Chances

Stein Lab

"Afternoon, Mr. Stein." Hana walks in the garage.

Victor turns around to see Hana walking in the door, "So what do you think?"

Hana sat down, "I have no idea, Mr. Stein..."

"I know she's done horrible things..." Victor sighs, "but she deserves a second chance..."

Hana chuckled, "Does she? Plus, what you're requesting is very dangerous... even if it succeeds, we have no idea if you can comeback..."

"She's my wife, Hana." Victor looks away. "Chase needs his mother."

"And his father?" Hana asked, "If we don't succeed, he'll loose you both..." Victor turns to Hana. "I'm gonna regret this." Hana closed her eyes, "Let's do it."

Victor embraced Hana, "Thank you! Thank you, kid."

Hana pulled away, "Let's get to work?"

Victor nods. "So I was thinking about creating another box..."

"No, I will not stoop that low." Hana shook her head, "I won't take someone's life to bring your wife's life back."

Janet in the computer shook her head, "Victor, I don't think that sacrificing another life is the answer..."

"How do proposed we bring you back, Janet?" Victor asked.

Then suddenly it hit Hana, "Hold that thought..." Hana went out the lab.

"Kid?" Victor called out.

Hana came back, "I'm gonna go."

"Wait, Hana?" Victor sighs.

"Yes?" Hana turns, "I'll comeback in a month... or when the package arrives..."

"What package?" Victor asked.

"From U-Gin..." Hana smiled.

"As in the genetic research lab in Korea?" Victor shocked.

Hana giggles, "See ya, Mr. Stein..."

Three weeks later, Hana was sitting in Wizards talking to a perspective investor about the company, when her phone started to ring. Hana sighs, "Will you excuse me a second, Mrs. Thomas?" Hana quickly ran out of the meeting room and into an empty hallway, before answering her phone, "Hello?"

"A box- a huge box- arrived from U-Gin." Victor Stein said curiously from the other end of the call, "Should I open it?"

Hana leans against the wall, "Don't open it, yet. I'm on my way." Hana ended the call and turn around to find Tina and Robert. Hana's eyes widen.

"Open what?" Tina asked.

Hana looks at Tina, "The pizza box?"

"You are a terrible liar, Hana." Robert looked at his daughter.

Hana nodded, "I know."

Robert chuckled, "Do we wanna know?"

"Not, right now," Hana shook her head, "no."

"Well, okay." Tina smiles, "We just came to congratulate you, for another investor!"

Hana started to walk away, "I'm gonna go..."

"Where to?" Tina asked.

"Pizza box." Hana shrugs.

As Hana pulled up in the Stein's driveway, she went straight to the lab. Victor was trying to figure out some math problem on the board. ".093%." Hana sighs.

Victor turns, "Okay, thanks. Do you want to work for Nemo?"

Hana chuckled, "No, I think ima stay at Wizards... unless you wanna tell my mother that you'd want me to work for you..."

"No, you're right." Victor nods, "Stay, I don't want to go against your mother."

"Okay." Hana walks over to the box and sighs as she starts to open the box and reveal what was in it. Pulling out a book at the very bottom, she placed it on the slab.

"Stein!" Tina calls. "Where's Hana?!"

"Right here, mom." Hana waves.

Robert looked at Hana, "What are you doing here? And is that from U-Gin?"

"Yes, it is." Hana nodded and slowly made her way towards her parents. "Mr. Stein, needed my help..."

"With what?" Tina glared at Victor.

"Bringing back his wife." Hana explains.

"You sacrificed somebody?!" Robert demanded.

"No dad." Hana shook her head, "In the Spring of 2015, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner had made their computer program a body with the help of Dr. Helen Cho in South Korea. I called Dr. Cho asking if I could somehow borrow equipment and she sent me this... Now I am figuring out how to assemble it... Okay? Excuse me, a sec., we might need help?" Hana walks out grabbing her phone on the way. As she returned, Hana smiled, "Help is on their way."

"Who'd you call?" Janet asked.

"Guita's 24 year old cousin, studying bio-chemical engineer and robotics, Sal Torres." Hana responded.
