Nova didn't respond immediately. His eyes locked onto Harry's, analyzing, calculating. He can make some major changes, this is an excellent opportunity. "That depends," he said slowly. "Do you know exactly what the disease is? How advanced it is?"

Harry let out a deep breath, running a hand through his hair. "I don't know all the details yet. My father never exactly sat me down and explained it. But I do know it's genetic, degenerative, and fatal. And if he couldn't cure it with all his resources, then..." He trailed off, his jaw tightening.

Peter clenched his fists. "That's not fair. He should have told you. He should have—"

Harry cut him off with a dry chuckle. "Yeah, well, my father wasn't exactly the sharing type. He probably thought admitting it would make him look weak. Or maybe he just figured he'd find a solution before it ever became a problem for me."

Nova watched him carefully, his mind racing through possibilities. This was a pivotal moment. The disease itself wasn't the biggest issue—it was what it represented. Harry had inherited not just his father's fortune but his curse as well.

But with Nova's abilities, that didn't have to be the case. Infact his system already had changed DNA of Harry Potter, altough it wasn't to heal the genetic disease or anything but it still was related to genetics.

However, this was also an opportunity. An opportunity to make big changes.

He leaned forward slightly. "If you could get rid of it, Harry—if you could wipe it out completely—would you want to?"

Harry hesitated. "Of course, I would. I don't want to die young." His voice was steady, but his fingers were still curled into fists. "But… if my father couldn't fix it, I don't see how anyone else could."

Nova smirked slightly. "Your father wasn't me."

Ned leaned forward. "So you can fix it?"

Nova considered his words carefully. "I can, but the question isn't whether I can—it's whether I should."

Harry's eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you mean?"

Nova tapped his fingers against the table. "Think about it. If I just wave my hand and make it disappear, sure, you're cured. But what happens when the Osborn Board starts asking questions? Even if they don't know about the disease, then what happens when your father's doctors—people who knew about this—see that you're perfectly fine? People don't just spontaneously recover from something like this, Harry. It would raise too many red flags."

Harry frowned, but Nova could see the gears turning in his head. "So what are you suggesting?"

Nova leaned back. "A controlled approach. If we're going to fix this, we do it in a way that won't make people suspicious. We make it look like you found a cure the normal way—one that makes sense to the world."

Peter's eyes widened as realization dawned on him. "The Lizard Serum."

Nova nodded. "Exactly."

Harry's lips pressed into a thin line. "You're saying… I should use the Lizard Serum to cure myself?"

"Not as it is," Nova clarified. "That formula is flawed. It has… side effects. But if Peter can modify it—remove the instability, refine it—besides I got something really brainy that can help us—then you'd have something that could plausibly explain your recovery. You inherit your father's company, and soon after, you present the world with a 'breakthrough cure' for genetic diseases. No one questions it, and you come out of this stronger than ever."

Harry was silent, processing the idea. His father had built Oscorp into an empire of science and innovation. If he could turn his survival into a technological miracle, it wouldn't just keep suspicion off him—it would solidify his control over the company and profits will just be side benefits.

It would let him redefine his legacy.

Ned whistled. "Dude. That's… kinda genius."

Peter nodded slowly, his mind already racing through the modifications he'd need to make. "It's not impossible. I've studied the formula. If I had more resources—Oscorp's lab equipment, maybe—I think I could do it."

Harry exhaled, then looked at Nova. "And if we do this… you're saying you can cure me? No tricks, no conditions?"

Nova met his gaze evenly. "No tricks. No conditions. If we go this route, I'll make sure you're fully cured. No disease, no side effects."

Harry's expression was unreadable for a moment. Then, slowly, he nodded. "Alright. Let's do it."

Peter felt a mix of excitement and nerves. "I'll start working on the modifications as soon as I can."

Ned grinned. "We're literally about to cure a deadly disease. This is insane."

Nova just smiled to himself. Perfect.

A few moments later, Peter brought down the formula. Nova looked at the scientific terms and felt his head melt. This is really difficult. He looked at Peter, who seems to read through everything like he is understanding it and finding mistakes.

Nova shook his head, he leaned back. It seems that he needs the help of Grey matter to solve it.

So Nova made an excuse to toilet. Inside the toilet, he tapped on the Longines HydroConquest, and immediately the watch started to turn and came into its original form, the Omnitrix.

He quickly turned the dial to Grey Matter and said," Fusion Mode: Human."

Immediately a different sensation washed over him—instead of raw power, he felt his mind sharpen. His thoughts accelerated, processing information at a speed that felt borderline inhuman.

He quickly left the toilet, afterall he only have five minutes, and went to the formula and various related documents.

Back at the table, Nova's now-enhanced mind scanned the formula with razor-sharp clarity. Numbers, equations, and genetic sequences unfolded before him like a puzzle waiting to be solved. What had once seemed like an incomprehensible jumble of scientific jargon now made perfect sense. Every flaw, every instability in the original Lizard Serum became glaringly obvious.

Peter, still reviewing the data, glanced up and noticed Nova's intense focus. "Uh… you okay, man? You look like you just had a revelation."

Nova smirked. "You could say that." He tapped the formula with precision. "Here, and here—these sequences are what cause the mutations. If we introduce a stabilizing agent to reinforce the genetic structure, we can eliminate the side effects while preserving the regenerative properties."

Peter blinked. "Wait, how did you—" His eyes widened. "Did you just figure that out in, like, a minute?"

"Yeah," Nova said casually, as if it were no big deal. "Look at this—if we alter the protein bonding structure by introducing a controlled molecular inhibitor, we prevent the serum from triggering excessive reptilian traits while still repairing damaged DNA."

Peter stared at the equations Nova had just scribbled down. "Holy—this might actually work."

Harry, who had been watching with an unreadable expression, leaned forward. "So you're saying this will cure me without turning me into some kind of monster?"

Nova nodded. "If we follow this modification path, then yes. You'll get the benefits of advanced cellular regeneration without the… unfortunate side effects."

Ned grinned. "So basically, you're making a super-cure without the creepy lizard transformations? That's freaking awesome."

Peter's excitement grew as he analyzed the modifications. "With this, not only can we cure you, Harry, but we might actually create a breakthrough treatment for genetic disorders in general. This could change everything."

Harry's expression was unreadable for a long moment, then slowly, he smirked. "Then let's make history."

Nova allowed but shook his head," This will be the premium version, this can be used to heal Harry but we aren't going to reveal it."

Harry frowned," Why?"

Nova scoffed, shaking his head as he leaned back in his seat. "Who's actually going to believe that four teenagers—two of whom barely scrape by in school—managed to create something this advanced?" His tone was laced with sarcasm, but there was an underlying seriousness in his words. "And let's be real, this serum isn't just some science fair project. The moment people find out about it, we're dead. Governments, corporations, warlords—everyone will want a piece of it. With this formula, superhuman strength can be mass-produced, and once that happens, war is inevitable."

Ned and Harry exchanged glances before their faces turned crimson, realizing the weight of what they had stumbled into.

Nova ignored and continued," We are going to divide it's function into various parts. One major will be healing serum, it can heal theoretically everything from severed hands to genetic disease but it won't give permanent regeneration power. Even then this serum will be divided into various levels. Then second one will be the serum which will help a human break through their limits, and increase their strength to peak human quickly. Unlike super soldier serum, this version won't make people instantly equal to Captain America, they will have to do intense training to reach that level. Even then this serum is going to be further divided into various levels. Then their will be final version, the version which will give super regeneration power and super strength and other."

Ignoring looks from others, Nova once again excused himself and went to toilet.
