The Dan Hans island city has a world class research facility and a highly protected nuclear power plant with hyper radiation absorption capacity situated in outskirts of the city but not much far. People here are driven by science but are very close to nature and do all their work in the most Eco-friendly manner possible. But it was a day that nobody in Dan Hans Island has forgotten. The memories of that night still haunt many in the city as many lives were changed that day forever. It was a big day in the DHIS Labs, they were going to inaugurate the brand new Growth fusion generator.
This was being dubbed as the 'once in a millennium' research project and was believed to change the way how we perceive growth and its duration in a crop or a cattle or even humans. It could make things possible which we can only imagine like growing a crop 100 times faster, or speeding up the healing process in case of injury even regenerate a whole organ. It could have boosted the economy for a crop season by up to 50% and also would have gave us a permanent cure to AIDS. But when it was operated for the test run a disaster happened.
It exploded! the explosion covered the whole island releasing its energy. In a nearby lab Dr. Wesley Adams, HOD physics dept. was developing a tachyon core for Growth Fusion generator along with his lab assistant and his junior Keith Cage by exposing high intensity laser to a heavy nucleus in presence of dark matter beam. When the disturbances were felt in the lab Dr. Adams went outside to check out what was happening while Keith was readjusting the Dark matter beam and then the explosion reached the lab and it disturbed the orientation making the core unstable and it ended up exploding injuring Keith.
"Aaahhh....Help me!" cried Keith.
Meanwhile Dr. Adams came back running to inform Keith to stay away from the core as the Growth Fusion generator has exploded but he realized that he was late.
"No! Keith. Oh my god, I'll have to take him to the hospital." said Dr. Adams as he rushed to call in for help. There was rush and restlessness all over the place, all the hospitals were overflowing with patients. The explosion combined with dark matter beam and expanded intensely. At the hospital Keith was in critical conditions, his heart beat was suddenly fading and then returning with fast palpitations. All the top doctors in Dan city were rushed in for him.
Finally they hit him with tranquilizers and anesthesia to calm him physically and relief him from stress in order to operate him. His body went into a dormancy state and doctors discharged him on request of Dr. Adams. Doctors informed that he will probably wake up in a week or two and advised Dr. Adams to take specialized care of him.
After two weeks of fallout of explosion city had recovered from most of the physical damage thanks to Dan Hans relief forces. But they hadn't recovered from emotional damage. And Keith finally woke up and cried "Dr. Adams.....!"
Dr. Adams came rushing and was happy to see Keith woken up, and got emotional. He said "Finally, you have woken up!"
"For how long have I been asleep." asked Keith.
"For two weeks." replied Dr. Adam.
"What has happened to me my body doesn't feel same for some reason I feel adrenaline rushing down my nerves." said Keith.
"It might have been the after effects of medicines and the explosion nothing much, calm down." said Dr. Adams.
Then Dr. Wesley turned back to pick up the glass to give water to Keith but it slipped from his hands and then something happened that no one thought suddenly Keith was sitting on the floor with the glass in his hands which he caught just moments before it fell and broke.
"What just happened!" asked an astonished Keith.
"Seems, like the exposure to laser-dark matter setup and growth fusion generator explosion has evolved your cells, so that is why you healed so fast and your heart beat wasn't fading it was beating way too fast for ECG to trace it, oh my god. This is incredible Keith do you know what does it means." said Dr. Adams.
"This means I'am FAST!" said Keith.
