Patient Zero

Chapter 1 - Test Subjects

To be honest this was not how I expected my day to end. Firstly, I had not enjoyed experiencing hell. Oddly enough being pulled out of it sucked too. That in and of itself was just an all around shitty situation. After that everything was moving quickly, it was one shitty situation right after another.

Honestly, from there everything was disorienting as fuck. Either way, Gabe and I ended up on shit creek without a paddle. See, we sorta feel from the sky. Try explaining how that's possible to a government agency without sounding like a lunatic. Except of course the fact that they saw us fall and they decided that we would be the perfect test subjects.

"If you poke me with that thing one more then I swear to fucking Chuck that I will fucking kill you." I snap at the doctor as he sticks me in the arm with another needle.

Being so hopped up on drugs that I can't think straight doesn't help. So I'm not even sure if I even spoke my threat correctly. My vision was incredibly poor due to the drugs so I couldn't see right and everything was ridiculously blurry. I knew that Gabe was nearby somewhere in the faculty. Somehow - I think they're draining him or maybe he's trying to figure things out. Gabe can be weird sometimes. Then there the possibility that Chuck is allowing this and he has it as some of our trials.

None of those options were ones that I would actually like or appreciate. My brothers are probably freaking out and I have no idea how long we have been stuck here. It sucks and I hate it.

"There you go." I hear the doctor say lightly. "Just a little bit more. The blood that you and your companion carry is quite unique. Although — your companion did blind a few of our doctors somehow. It's unfortunate, but even they couldn't explain what happened. We decided to test their bodies and see what we could find."

Did he literally just say that they basically killed their own scientists to do more tests?Feeling sluggish I do my best to glare at the doctor and he just smiles and pats me on the head. Then I try to sneer at him, although considering my situation I may not have been able to actually do that. Time passed, or maybe it didn't pass. It's hard to tell when your hardly conscious.

The makes me wonder what is going on with Gabe though. He's not very easily subdued and while they took us by surprise he was more or less playing along. Although he could subtly be screwing with their heads or something.

Again time passes, or at least I believe that it begins to pass on. Being in the same room as him was nice, but I could only feel his presence not actually see him. Occasionally I would hear him yelling at them, warning them not to push with their testing and experiments because they won't survive the results. But my moments of clarity were few and far between.

Eventually the doctors became frantic and screaming (snarling?) could be heard as well as yelling. The difference is that it was no longer Gabe, now he was simply angry and telling them that this is what the consequences are of messing with things they're not meant to understand.

"Idiots." I hear him snap out angrily. "Are you trying to destroy your world? Never mind, you already did. Coming back from this could be impossible."

The first time I was conscious for more then a few moments I was strapped to a chair and both of the doctors or scientists in the room were looking incredibly uncomfortable.

"We have some questions." The female, doctor/scientist begins speaking a little nervously. "About you and your - friend. The properties of your blood - it has .. different."

"Let me guess." I begin dryly as I look at them boredly. "You decided to play with something you didn't understand and now you dumbasses are trying to stop it from getting out of hand. Which most likely means that it is already out of hand."
