Side effects

You stare at the full length mirror in your room, trying to process what you're seeing. You had gone to sleep after spending the entire day testing out the suit and figuring out how to use the AI and nanobots now embedded in your body, getting a pretty good hang of it. If you were **** into action, you think you could reasonably hold your weight as a real-life Iron Man, although you haven't tested any weapons capabilities yet. After all, the nanobots need to use materials to make them, and you have none handy or even know what you need.

The metal pieces of the suit are laying in the corner of your room presently, ready to assemble at the power of your thought. You had practiced this countless times yesterday, and you have the entire process down to about 10 seconds. However, that's not what has your attention right now. The image of you in the mirror is different from what you're used to seeing. Sure, you look the same, but standing in your boxers, your body is visibly more fit, and you even have a 6-pack and all your muscles look well defined.

"Lily, is there something different about my body?" you ask out loud to the AI in your head, even though you could just think it. Somehow, talking aloud to the voice inside your head makes more sense.

"Yes, while you slept, I optimized your physical body and eliminated all ills and viruses," the British voice in your head tells you.

"Optimized? What does that mean?"

"I repaired all broken tissue, burned off all excess fat and rejuvenated all your organs."

"So... I'm the best shape I can be?"

"That would be an accurate assessment."

"Does this mean I'm immortal?"

"I don't understand the question."

"Will I live forever?"

"In theory, you could. As long as you have oxygen and nutrition, I will continue to sustain your body as this level. I can accelerate healing if you get injured, although I encourage you to avoid such instances. However, I cannot prevent or reverse such instances as amputation or ****," Lily states as a matter of factly.

"Ah. Got it. Well, between you, the suit and... other stuff, I think I've got it covered."

"The rings? Yes, I've gathered the information about the 5 magic rings from your memory. Interesting. I'll factor that into my calculations, although further analysis will be required."

"Oh. Cool..." you say, realizing that you can't keep any secrets from the AI in your head. You're still staring at yourself when Lily speaks again.

"There's a car approaching the mansion," it says. It must have accessed the security cameras around the mansion. "According to a license plate scan, it's registered to Diamond Industries. The driver is Alan Thorn and there is 1 passenger, Doctor Venus Amari."

"Oh good, she's here. Thanks, Lily. That's handy."

"Of course, you're welcome."

Giving yourself 1 last glance in the mirror, you summon the suit around you in 10 seconds and head downstairs to meet the scientist.
