With anyone else, Adam might have allowed them to stew in the panic he'd just evoked — perhaps even relished witnessing it — but Peter had taken the bait like a good boy, and there wasn't any reason to make him suffer on the hook. He didn't deserve such torture.
Having not laid back yet, Adam met his gaze and rested a hand on Peter's arm to gently rub in a comforting manner. ❝ No worries, love. I'm certain if they had wished to use the virus, they would have released it by now. You see, it was right before I was locked up three decades ago that they'd discovered it and began attempting to manipulate it into a weapon. My sources tried to keep an eye on it, but the trail went cold. I assumed they gave up. ❞ A slight shrug was given.
After a moment of observing Peter's reaction, Adam sighed as though in defeat. ❝ I'll tell you what — after your training, after we're confident the search for our whereabouts has died down, we'll raid the warehouses to ensure they aren't holding onto anything dangerous, alright? With your extraordinary abilities, it should prove trivial. ❞ A deceptively warm smile crept across his lips at the thought.
