-{Favorite Damn Disease}-

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Jasyn Hexa Adland was working in the lab one afternoon. Nozomi's assistant walked in and over to him. He was working on engineering new forms of G.U.I.L.T. The only two forms that had been successfully egineered were Kyriaki and Deftera. There were potentially five other strains of G.U.I.L.T. that were in the process of being egineered right now. He was in charge of the project called Triti. Triti, thus far, was a series of triangular panels of mutated cell membrane held together by thorn-like tumor cells. Definitely not something he wanted to get.

"Are you even listening to me?" Nozomi's assistant asked me in his indifferent tone of voice that never seemed to change. Maybe he wasn't showing emotion becoz he couldn't afford mistake. That guy had such high expectations from Proffessor Blackwell. Proffessor Blackwell had abandoned his family many years ago and basically co-created this entire operation. However, the reason for G.U.I.L.T wasn't a pretty one. It was to disease the world of doctors becoz Adam, the originator of G.U.I.L.T., believed that people deserved the "blessing" of disease. Jasyn was only there for the cash, and he wasn't really the type of person to be a "good guy".

Jasyn figured that he would need to answer this guy before he nagged him to death. "Okay, I'll play along. What d'ya want?" He asked Nozomi's assistant, it seemed that no one knew his name. Oh well, introduce yourself better and maybe people will pay attention to you. "Well, Proffessor Blackwell wants to know how far your sector has progressed on Tritti. Also, one of the test guinea pigs caught one of the trial versions of Tritti and Proffessor wants you to cure him." The blonde kid told me still sounding rather dead inside. "God, if the quinea pigs would just stay in their sanitary section of the lab, unless they're told otherwise, they wouldn't be getting infected nearly as much. But, NOO, we can't follow simple directions, now can we? Apparently not." He hated that the majority of the subjects were getting infected becoz they just couldn't follow directions. "Whatever, just send in the paitent." He told the blonde kid sounding very unamused.

Caleb Harden had been wandering around the non-sanitary section of the lab, wanting to be a smart ass and prove that he wouldn't get infected. And guess what, he got infected. He had told the assistant guy that his stomach had been hurting and he was tested, and he found out he had tritti. A weird diseasy thingy that ate away at your tissue cells and would eventually kill you...greeatt. Caleb was waiting outiside the lab in a sanitary room where no one else was while the assistant got someone to help him get rid of this thing. He ran his hand through his short-ish black hair, rubbing the sweat from his forehead. He winced, wrapping his arms around his stomach as the pain flared.

The assistant guy came out of the lab and pulled Caleb up, taking him into the lab and over to the guy that was going to help him. His arms were still wrapped around his stomach, hoping that if he squeezed hard enough the pain would stop. Sweat formed on his forehead once again as he looked down at the doctor, tears forming in his eyes as the pain continued to flare.

Jasyn was looking through the paitent's charts while he was waiting for the blonde guy to get the paitent. His name was Caleb, he probably believed that he could wonder around the lab and not get infected. As you can guess, the guy got infected. With one of the pre-forms of Tritti. Great, time to learn how to treat this bitch. He means the disease, not Caleb. He wasn't that mean. He continued to look through his charts. Caleb was around six foot five inches, a whole six inches taller than he was. He had a muscular build, but was also skinny for his height, he only weighed around one hundred and fifty pounds. Tritti was designed to eat away at your organs by infecting the organ tissue. The only problem with curing it would be that they had figured out how to engineer it, for the most part, but they hadn't yet figured out how to reverse engineer it, or remove it.

The blonde kid brought in Caleb and walked him over to the operating table. Caleb was violently pressing on his stomach, probably trying to make the pain go away. He was going to hate to tell him, but..."You do realize that violently pressing on your stomach isn't going to fix you, right? There's only one way to fix you. And that's to trust me." Jasyn paused, waiting for any answer. "I'm going to take off your shirt and give you some anesthesia before I begin." He told Caleb before proceeding to do so. Caleb was under in less than five minutes. Even though Jasyn didn't know exactly what to do once he had cut Caleb open, but he figured he'd have to figure it out once he was in there. So, here we go.

Jasyn cleaned Caleb's abdomen with rubbing alcohol before he made the incision over his sotmach. What he saw once he'd opened up Caleb shocked him. It was an earlier form of Tritti, so it was bound to differ from how the Tritti reacted now. Instead of triangular panels they were octogonal instead. Instead of three thorns for every panel there were eight, which in turn were attached to eight other panels. Oh, shit. Where to begin, where to even start? He kept his scalpel in hand and tried to cut out the thorns. Well, that didn't work. He traded the scalpel for the surgical lazer. Maybe, he could incinerate the thorns and then remove the panels. Nope. He injected vital stabilizer before he continued. Well, everything else has failed, so let's try forceps. He carefully squeezed the forceps around the thorn and successfully removed the first one. Yay, something that worked. He would have to work quickly if he wanted to save Caleb. After all the thorns were out there was some kind of toxin floating around. He drained the toxin before he continued. "Doctor, the paitent's vitals are critical." The blonde guy warned him. Okay, this ability was the whole reason he was even here. He activated his Healing Touch by tracing a pentagram over the operation area. He worked quickly to take out the thorns that had respawned and the he continued to take out all of the panels.

Caleb's vitals were back in the nineties, he sewed up the incision, cleaned it and put bandage over it. His work was done, and the paitent was saved. He could finally relax and maybe deal with his headache that he always got from using his Healing Touch.

Caleb woke to a light blue room, in pain and tired and cranky. He sat up, a little to fast, and winced. He frowned, poking at his bandaged stomach, noticing that it still hurt a bit. He sighed, knowing that it would probably still hurt but was hoping it would've stopped by now. He looked around, noticeing he was alone, so he hopped down from the bed, stretching. He groaned when he felt a light tug on his arm, seeing the IV. He tried to pull it off, but knew that he would get in a lot of trouble if he did, so he stopped. He looked around, trying to find his shirt so he could leave. It wasn't in the room. He sighed, heading over to the door and opening it. He headed out, going stealth mode, and tip toed down the hall. He didn't like being babied, and he didn't like hospitals, so he was going to leave.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Jasyn had the paitent's shirt still on the operating table. He figured he'd go give it back to him. He looked his office window. Was that Caleb up walking around the damn place? Didn't he know that this wasn't the sanitary part of lab? His wound on his abdomen was susceptible to infection, and that was the last thing Caleb needed. He ran out of his office to find him. Which way did he go? Eenie meenie minee....that way. He turned right down the hallway and ran after Caleb. Shit this wasn't good. Whenever this happened the paitent either didn't like to be babied or thought that he was well enough to just up and leave the recovery wing. You can't don that and you definitely can't leave the lab either. The test paitents signed a contract before they were accepted into the lab, you aren't allowed to come and go as you please. They didn't want the word about the G.U.I.L.T. out on the streets.

He continued to ran for about five minutes before he found Caleb walking towards the sanitary section of the lab. He grabbed Caleb by his wrist and stopped him. "Caleb, do you realize that your wound is susceptible to infection even more so than you yourself are? You could have been infected by a completely different form of G.U.I.L.T. one that I'm not in charge of. Please, for your sake, my sake, and everyone else's sake, please come back to your recovery room. You're not yet well enough and there may be something on you that could in turn infect the other paitents as well as the surgeons here." He pleaded with Caleb tugging slightly on his wrist. He didn't want Caleb getting infected again. That, and there weren't enough surgeons to treat all of the paitents if they were to all get infected. "Please, Caleb, we need to do a follow up anyway." He said trying to look into Caleb's eyes and trying to read them. Even though he couldn't see them very well, something about them was oddly attractive. Maybe it was the bright icy blue color they were. Who knows? He did think that Caleb was pretty cute though.

[Deleted]

Caleb sighed, pushing his bangs from his face. He stared down into the doctor's, he still didn't know his name, honey brown eyes and smiled. This guy was cute. "Fine. Just where's my shirt?" Caleb asked, flailing his free arm. He felt all exposed in just a pair of low rising skinny jeans and a pair of black and green, chunky DC shoes. He looked away, turning a light shade of red as he took in how cute this doctor actually was. He couldn't be that much older than himself, with light reddish-brown hair and a little bit shorter then him. He bit his lower lip, noticeing that this doctor still had a hold on his arm. "I never caught your name." Caleb said, still blushing a bit, but smiling.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Jasyn was relieved when Caleb agreed to stay and even to come back with him as well for the follow-up. He waved the shirt in his other hand. "Right here." He handed it to him. "So, what do you say we go check you out and make sure that your wound is starting to heal properly? We don't want you getting infected again, now do we?" Jasyn asked being a bit of a smart ass. ...Was he flirting with Caleb? If he was, that would make two people he liked in the entire lab. Caleb and Nozomi. "Okay, onward to your recovery room." He led him by the wrist back to his room that he'd woken up in. He had Caleb sit down so he could have a look at his own handy-work.

Jasyn took a look at the stitchery. The stitches were tight and even. There wasn't going to be any opening of this wound unless you had a knife to open it with. Which no one other than the surgeons did. He thought for a moment that he saw some puss on hte edges of the wound, that usually meant infection. He was relieved to find out that when he cleaned it with rubbing alcohol, that it was just some dried excess antibiotic gel. Thank goodness. Who knows what Caleb might have caught while he was wondering around the actual medical wing. The wing where all of the G.U.I.L.T. engineering took place. He could have caught anything from Kyriaki to the newest one that we were working on: Tetarti. "You can put your shirt back on. I have to hook up an I.V.. Its filled with antibiotics that will temporarily make you immune to Tritti." Jasyn told Caleb.

Caleb smirked, pulling his white Asking Alexandria t-shirt on over his bare chest. He smoothed it out, standing up and pulling up his skinny jeans. He smiled at this doctor, nodding as he started talking about an IV and held out his arm that held the previous IV that had already been placed in the vein in his elbow. "So, I still don't know your name, Mister Doctor." Caleb smirked, flipping the hair from his eyes. He put his hand on his hip, shifing his weight to that side, and raised one eyebrow. He saw the previous looks he got from this doctor and knew that he at least thought he was cute. He could be wrong, but he usually wasn't. He flipped his hair from his eyes once again and gave a cute grin.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Jasyn smiled back at Caleb when he saw that hair flip and cute little grin. Obviously, an attempt at flirting with him. What on earth was he thinking? This guy was probably just happy that Jasyn had saved his life. There was no proof yet that this cutie was bi or gay for that matter. But he still had the unbearable urge to flirt with him. Oh well, might as well, there was nothing to lose really. He means, he was already on the wrong side of the medical war in the world right now. What else could he possibly lose, ya know, other than his self-confidence?

"Hey now, Mister Doctor was my father. I'm Jasyn Adland, you can call me Dr Adland, Jasyn, Jay, or Jynxx. I'll answer to any of them. So, its up to you really." Jasyn said listing all of his nicknames. Most people here called him Dr. Adland, but it'd be nice to be called one of his nicknames that he'd gained over the years. So, maybe this was a good chance for friendship with someone other than Nozomi. She called him Jay, but so did everyone else in the free world that actually knew his name.

[Deleted]

Caleb smiled. "I like that name, Jasyn." He liked the way it rolled off his tongue. He flipped his hair from his eyes, it wasn't very cooperative, and shoved his hands deep into his jean pockets. "So, when do you get off work, Jasyn?" He wanted to spend time with him and get to know this Jasyn guy. Maybe do a little more innocent flirting? He hoped so. He wondered if Jasyn had a girlfriend, or boyfriend. That would be a total downer, but at least he would know not to flirt some more. Getting beaten up would not be so fun.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Jasyn was starting to love that little hair flip of Caleb's. He also was enjoying that it seemed that Caleb was taking the same kind of intrest in him that Jasyn was in him. Jasyn brushed his hair away from his eyes and ran a hand through it before he answered Caleb. This was a sure fire sign that he was nervous. "I get off in about an hour. Do you think you can go an hour without me needing to open you up again?" He asked Caleb joking around with him.

[Deleted]

Caleb showed mock hurt, putting a hand to his chest. "Your lack of faith in my self control is astonishing. But yah, I think I can wait an hour." He grinned, shoving his hands deep into his pockets once again and moving his hips side to side, something he did when he was bored. "When you get off, where do you want go? We could go get some food. But what kind of food. I like food, you know that right? (xD)" Caleb nodded, his hair bouncing up and down as he did.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

"I don't lack faith in you, I'm just very sarcastic...if that even fits in this context." Jasyn laughed nervously. Great, he was attracted to this guy in an extremity of the meaning of the word. "Ahh, I get off at two. And I figured that you liked food, I mean I know I do. Ummm, I've got my own mini-fridge of food that is so much better than that slop they serve you guys in the cafeteria." He paused looking at Caleb and letting out a breath. "Then maybe we could just chill in my office and watch a movie or something?" He suggested hoping that he'd offered something that they could both agree on. Grrr, I wish I wasn't so nervous around this guy. Caleb was such a cutie afterall.

[Deleted]

Caleb giggled, running his hand through his hair. "Well, thats good. I like sarcastic." He winked, smirking as he did. He liked this boy, and he was now going into flirt mode....major flirt mode. "Awesome. I really like some tasty food." He nodded happily, hopping up and down on the balls of his feet. "And I like movies too. What kind of movies do you have?" He asked, turning his head to the side.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

By the way this was going Jasyn would be in flirtatious mode in no time. Hell, he was already half way into it. "Well, I've got Disney movies, I've got scary movies...." He paused getting much much quieter. "I've got Broke Back Mountain." He regained his original volume. "I've got funny movies too. I guess you'd just have to come to my office to see what all I've got." He winked at Caleb. There could be multiple meanings behind his words. It just all depended how Caleb took those words. He smiled at Caleb flipping his hair out from in front of his eyes. Well, here comes all the flirtatious-ness.
