Volume 1 GAINED TIME JB’s healing had finished. It was time for Gibson to play with his new project, as he saw it. The process of experimenting in that field got to him so deep, he forgot about anything else. The only thing that bothered him was that he didn’t know his patient as a person very well. The first impression from talking to JB appeared fine, but there were other clues, which couldn’t be ignored. All those cruel tattoos, scars, an overall attitude of arrogance. JB had confessed himself that he was a criminal and Mark wouldn’t doubt it for a minute, the question rose if he was dangerous for him. As a scientist, Gibson might never have such chance to explore the possibilities of gibsonium. Perhaps the most valuable element on Earth. Yet, his primary concern was not to give it to the ‘wrong hands.’ On the other side, JB wasn’t sure either if he could fully trust Gibson. Of course, the man saved his life, gave him a shelter, and left an impression of a great guy.
