When I absorbed the Kree, though, I changed at the genetic level. It didn't last for long, but... it happened."
She returned the soap to the tray and took an audibly deep breath. "They wonder if that's happening now. If that's why my powers are behaving abnormally."
She wasn't sure how she felt about the idea, but it was a very real possibility, especially with the impending training. If she touched one of his species for long enough, or enough of them for a cumulative amount, how much might she change?
