Happy looked at Arthur with puzzlement because he was smiling at him like he was his old friend.
" Do I know you? Peter, who are these people?"
Peter couldn't answer his question because he couldn't just say he was beaten and scolded by them until he gave up. Moreover, surely Happy would also do the same, knowing his personality. He was like his real uncle to him and he wouldn't hesitate to scold him.
" Hello, my name is Arthur Frost and these are all my friends. We are here to use Tony's equipment for a day or two?"
Happy showed a bewildered face, pointing at him with puzzlement while looking at Peter who refused to elaborate on the situation to him. Both of them remained silent until Happy took a gist of the situation by the looks on their faces, believing it had to do with Peter. Otherwise, they wouldn't come here like that, and besides they didn't look that bad except for the Lizard man in the back.
" I can lend you the equipment but under one condition. I will observe your experiment as an overseer of him."
Arthur didn't take a second before accepting his proposal since it was natural to do so. He understood his worries as a guardian and he wouldn't mind him watching his experiment.
" Alright then. Otto and Norman would do calibration while Max and Curt do the tinkering."
Just as he was about to finish his words, Peter opened his mouth with hesitation.
" Um, Mr. Frost. I have a request. You said their death was a fixed point. Can you change that because surely they aren't that evil? I know you can revert them to normal and as normal harmless people, they wouldn't be able to hurt others."
The other two Peters didn't say anything but they seemed to agree with him because it was indeed true that they were redeemable even if they were corrupted by their powers. Also, they were willing to forgive them despite their grudge after hearing their history.
Arthur didn't say anything except to put down his blueprint. He looked at his Peter who was also looking at him with hope in his eyes which made things troublesome. Additionally, they didn't refuse his request which meant the villains were willing to make a change.
" Just this time. We have a little time but I can revert them to normal selves. Bioengineering isn't my field but I know a few things."
Arthur pulled out a pen from Happy's pocket and started drawing blueprints on the corner of the paper while Happy who was caught off guard, had no words to say.
Firstly he heard something ridiculous like space-time traveling and these people all came from different dimensions which was like a big boom boom to him. Additionally, they were villains in their universe, and of course there were Arthur and 3 Peters from another world.
" I am getting old for this kind of stuff. Maybe I should retire and live with May."
However, Arthur didn't give him a chance to reflect while pushing the list of items that he needed into his pocket.
" Go fetch that item. I know you have access to Stark Industries and I am counting on you."
Happy couldn't say anything except groaning with a helpless face. He was confident that this man had a close relationship with him in his world. Otherwise, he wouldn't know about his secret clearance identity despite leaving the company. This was a backup plan Tony and only a few knew about this, including Pepper and Fury.
" Hmm, can you give me the blueprint? I am somewhat a scientist and I know about bioengineering."
Arthur didn't mind giving him the blueprint after seeing his eyes. He was in his clear mind and was ready to help them, so it was no big deal.
" We need something to stabilize the genetic mutation and rewrite it back to normal. This machine lacks genetic rewriting because not many know that mutation doesn't just occur from serum or radiation. It needs a powerful source to change the very root of it."
Curt also gave out some comments, saying that it was incomplete. Arthur smiled at their remark, finally trusting their willingness to redeem themselves.
