Chapter 298: Not Superman!

"When was the last time you took your medication?" Athena’s voice crackled with barely contained anger as she questioned Ewan, who had just regained consciousness.

Ewan hesitated, taking a moment to assess his body and surroundings. A crease formed on his forehead as he realized he was in an unfamiliar place, the dim light casting shadows around him.

His gaze darted left, eyes widening as he spotted an array of machines and tools. Had Athena brought him to a laboratory? For what purpose? Where was this place? It didn’t seem to be above the ground, considering the earthy smell he was perceiving.

"Where is this place?" He managed, the anxiety creeping into his tone.

"My personal laboratory. Now answer my question, Ewan!" Athena snapped, impatience flaring within her.

Ewan pursed his lips, trying to suppress a smile that threatened to surface as realization dawned on him. He was in Athena’s secret laboratory!

He recalled reading reports from Spider about the government and foreign nations trying to uncover its location, only to draw a blank every time. How had Athena managed to keep this place off the radar?

The nature of the chemicals and substances she worked with should have made it too hot to hide. The enormity of what she was entrusting him with filled him with gratitude so potent he felt teary.

"Why does your face look like that? Do you want to cry?" Aiden’s voice broke through Ewan’s thoughts, pulling him back to the moment.

Of course, Aiden would know this location.

"Are you that happy to be here?" Aiden laughed, glancing at Athena. "Athena, you’ve made the man speechless."
