[Cure] Remission and Relapse
#2 of Cure
Jay woke suddenly from a vivid dream of being twenty feet tall and fighting Godzilla to the sound of his phone going off. As he fumbled for it, his mouth feeling full of cotton, he couldn't help shake the feeling that something was odd. Finally getting his fingers around the plastic, he slid the device open.
"Hey, This is Jay." he mumbled.
"Mornin'." responded Dr. Finkworth's British voice. "I got the full results of the trial back this morning and was wondering if you wanted to help with the follow up assessment. I know you had seemed interested in how things were going when we last spoke and I need a reliable pair of hands to help get things done. What d'ya say? Interested, young man?"
Jay rolled over and stared at the ceiling for a moment before responding. It had been almost two days now since he was accidentally exposed to a prototype virus that would hopefully in the near future serve as the vehicle for an AIDS cure. If the results were back he would be able to see just what the long term effects on Dani and himself would be.
"You don't have to if you've got other things going on today. I know it's winter break for you students and you're not on schedule for today-"
"Nah it's alright. Give me a few minutes and I'll be right in."
The doctor gave Jay his thanks and hung up, leaving the young man alone with the returning memories of the last time he had woken up. As the images of sheer carnal audacity grew more realistic, his mind became hazy and his pulse began to race which only served to further deepen the illusion. Fearing a repeat of last time, he shook his head to clear it, trying to push away the now hauntingly familiar feeling of losing control to his baser, though satisfying, desires. Fixating his mind on something completely different, he decided to try and figure out who would win in a fight between Mothra and Ghidrah. This radical departure from the contents of his memories seemed to cut through the fog that was engulfing him and it was with a clear mind that Jay slid out of bed and got to his feet. That was the moment when he realized with a start why it what was he had felt odd.
The last time he had been cognizant like this his member had been far larger than it was now, pushing a measurement that bordered on impossible. At this point though, the concealed tip just barely rubbed against the middle of his thigh. Whirling about he pulled the blanket off of Dani and gasped for she too had shrunk, her frame almost back to where it had been the other afternoon. Granted her curves were far more exaggerated than they had been, but the three inches of height and who knows how many of breast and ass she had gained since her first exposure seemed to have simply...vanished.
What the hell as going on here? Were the virus's effects only temporary? Was he, even now, getting over an infection that had turned him and his girlfriend into the Incredible Hulk and She-Hulk of Sex? The answers to his questions remaining silent, he grabbed a shirt and half put it on before shaking Dani awake.
"Mmm?" she said intelligibly. "What's wrong Jay?"
"Just sit up, I think you'll know almost immediately." Jay responded as he pulled on his pants from two days ago. His mind was racing as he tried to find a reason as to why something which very likely altered them at the genetic level had suddenly just gone into remission, taking the vast bulk of its symptoms with it. It wasn't like this was the cold or something, alterations to one's body didn't just go away, dammit!
"I'm back to being 'just' me..." Dani moaned. "I liked that 'other' me, if felt so..."
"Liberating?" Jay finished.
"Yeah..."
"Well, look at it this way, if you still had those tits from earlier, you'd barely be able to stand." Jay said with a laugh. "Anyway, I'm going into the Lab today. Finksworth called and wanted me to help with the follow up. Hoping I can figure out what happened to us both before and apparently now as well."
"Alrighty, guess I might as well go to practice then. Julie had said something about me needing to be there."
Jay leaned down as he passed by the bed on his way to the door and kissed Dani on the forehead. "See you around four?"
"Sounds like a plan, I'll try and get done before then." Dani confirmed with a smile.
The drive to the lab felt weird for Jay. It had been in this seat that he first had the inkling that something was wrong and for the last two days he hadn't left the house. Now, it was hard to drive with his diminished but still considerable manhood crammed into one pant leg. Fortunately he always bought pants a size larger, so the strain wasn't too noticeable as he walked through the doors and flashed his badge. The stout woman who normally worked the front desk wasn't there today and her decidedly cuter and younger replacement gave Jay a coy smile while pushing the button to let him into the building.
As he walked past the desk, the red haired girl handed him a couple things for Finskworth, their hands brushing as she did. Walking through the double doors, he absently rummaged through the pile until he got to a scrap of paper with the word Penny and a phone number neatly penned on it. When he looked back, the rather well built girl mouthed 'call me'. A bit disarmed, Jay blinked until he could focus on what was the main issue at hand: figuring all of this out.
Over in the field hockey team's locker room, Dani was changing with her team mates. Her uniform was just barely fitting over her undergarments which were in turn struggling to contain her enhanced assets. Hoping that no one would pay too much attention to her somewhat strained attire, she let out a sigh of relief when Juile, the team captain, cleared her throat to get their attention and she could slide to the back.
"Hey, remember that Channel Seven is coming by to talk to us today." she started. "Likely to get some sound bites for their sports reel though they want to talk to you specifically Dani. Probably to pester you about that goal you scored against NC State and the rumors that the Olympic team wants you to join up for the 2012 games."
Dani blushed as her teammates turned to look at her. It was true that she had done well in the semi-final game but no more so than any of them. As for the Olympics... "O-ok."
"Don't worry, I'll be there with you. Not going to let my star shooter get flayed after all. That'd be just awful if you couldn't play next week. Anyway, they're going to be here around lunch hour, so let's try and get laps out of the way first. Chop chop! I want everyone to get in at least three!"
Still feeling a bit off, Dani hung back and waited until most of her team mates had left before heading out. Julie was leaning against the door way when she came out from between the lockers. "What's up, Jules?" Dani asked, confused as to why the other girl had waited for her.
Julie didn't answer. Even more confused Dani tried to step around the slightly smaller girl but was blocked as Julie leaned into the row of lockers. Starting to panic, Dani's pulse speed up. Almost instantly a fog started to envelop her mind and her vision began to blur. She could feel the blood rushing just under her skin as a tingle not unlike the one from last night slowly traveled through her.
Julie leaned forward, stopping just short of brushing against her larger teammate and whispered in Dani's ear. "If you ever show me up like you did the other day....I'll make sure you never play field hockey anywhere ever again."
"Is that a threat?" Dani chided, stepping back from the intrusion. The fog was getting thicker making it hard to focus. With each breath she took she could feel her jersey shift against her undershirt, the mesh material becoming even more constraining. Trying to not let the tightening feeling distract her, she stared down her apparent bitch of a captain all the while keenly aware of a pulsing feeling under her shirt.
"No. It's a promise." Julie snapped after a few breaths before storming out, leaving Dani alone in the locker room.
The second she heard the door to the field slam, Dani flipped her spandex shirt and jersey up to see what was going on underneath. To her surprise, her breasts were pulsing in her sports bra just like they had after the first time she and Jay had done it after his exposure. Something about her panic had aggravated the infection! It was as if the adrenaline she felt slowly calming her down was somehow triggering a relapse. Making a mental note to tell Jay that night, she sat in the locker room for a few more minutes until she felt the tingle recede before heading out to practice.
Back at the lab, Jay was waiting for Finksworth to leave so he could make up a sample of his blood and take a peek at it. The old man however, insisted on continuing to prattle on about the feelings of joy he was having at how successful the tests seemed to have been. After five minutes, Jay was sorely tempted to tell him exactly how well things had gone.
Eventually though, the scientist received a phone call and excused himself. Not sure when the old British man would return, Jay got to work. Cutting his finger he let two drops land on a slide before covering the pool with a cover. Slipping the sample under a nearby scope, Jay held his breath as he looked into the eye piece.
Under the first optic, his blood looked virtually the same as it always had. Spinning the dial around to the highest setting however revealed that everything as not as it was supposed to be. Floating in his plasma along with his red and white cells was a third one, one that seemed to move with an intelligence as its flagella whisked it around in the view. He watched horrified as the larger, purple cell turned on a white one and speared it with its extremities. The color drained from the attacking cell, staining the other a lighter shade of purple before the white cell simply exploded in a spray of similarly colored goo. Goo that quickly formed into a group of cells not unlike the first. Jay sat back with a shudder, that answered his question about getting better.
His thoughts rushing, he tried to figure out what had happened. He had seen the virus do that before, that was what it had been programmed to do after all but, for it to now be a complete cell...just what he injected himself with? More importantly, what to do now?
"What'cha workin' on cutie?" came a voice from behind that cause Jay to spin around in something like abject terror. His eyes took in that standing there was the red haired girl from before, Penny. Just as he started to respond, Jay realized that his sleeve had caught the tray on the scope.
Looking like a decided idiot, he floundered as he tried to free his arm from the tool. With a giggle she reached around to help him, leaning full into him in the process. Jay noticed right away that she was remarkably stacked, something he could have sworn wasn't the case this morning. Distracted by the contact and that fact, he wasn't thinking as he removed the slide with his free hand and tried to slyly slip it into the sink. Missing the sink, the piece of glass hurtled towards the floor. Neither being able to react fast enough to catch it, the slide hit the hard floor and shattered, sending shards skittering everywhere.
"Ouch!" The girl said as she winced. Freeing his arm by pulling off his lab coat Jay caught a glimpse of her exposed leg, where a shard of blood stained glass was just barely sunken into her skin. Cursing mentally, Jay hoped it was her blood and not his. If a third person had been infected...
"Is it bad?" she asked. "I don't want to look. I'm squeamish about stuff like blood."
Rolling his eyes Jay stooped to check the cut. "The cut's not deep, hold still and I'll clean it." Jay said as he rummaged through a drawer for the first aid kit. His heartbeat was pounding as he tried to reason out a way to test if she had been tainted without having to explain the need. He pulled the glass out with a pair of tweezers and then dabbed at the cut with an alcohol swab, hoping that would keep her safe from danger of infection. Stumped as to what else to do he stood up and came dangerously close to her rather full lips as she scooted forward into him, pinning him against the counter. Alarmed at the sudden turn of events, Jay tried to steer the moment in another direction.
"So...Finksworth will be back-" Jay stared but she cut him off with a forceful kiss that she persisted with for far longer than necessary. He was far past starting to get hard when she finally released him.
"Nope, he's out to lunch. So it's just me, you, and an hour uninterrupted." she almost purred.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I'm not really sure...I can't help myself." She said as she traced circles on his shirt. "I've been wet ever since we touched this morning and now all I can think about is the feel of your skin against mine." She looked up at him and Jay noticed her green eyes were dilated. Thinking back, that was how Dani's had been after they had gotten home the first night. By then though, she'd been infected for almost three hours.
Which was just about how long he had been here Jay realized with a jolt.
"Please, do whatever you want to me, just...don't ever stop touching me."
Feeling suddenly like a star in a bad porn, Jay tried valiantly to think of something to do that would keep him from more than likely becoming the cause of an epidemic that could have very disastrous effects on the human race. Each passing second that passed though put more blood into his ballooning member. It wouldn't be long before she noticed.
"My, that's an awfully big package you've cute there, Dr. Cuteface." She said just as he thought it. Distracted from his thoughts Jay noticed that her breasts had gotten bigger in the past five minutes. Oh yeah, she was infected. But, from when? To his left the pile of mail lay, on the outside was a single thin red line. Distracted by cursing at the realization that had dawned on him, Jay didn't notice when his penis burst the inseam on his pants. Although, he did notice when his assailant started nibbling on his foreskin. Looking down he watched, frozen, as she pulled his skin back and tried to fit him into her mouth. Her teeth dragging over his taut skin was like electricity and almost instantly Jay stopped trying to figure out what to do. The answer was obvious after all: fuck her brains out.
At the practice field Dani wasn't doing much better. The impact of each bounding step made her whole body shake. With every inch of her skin as sensitive to motion as a seismometer, it was like being wrapped in an erogenous blanket. She had hardly done a lap and a half before her body was covered in sweat and she was panting like a dog.
Leaning against the fence she watched the cars go by as she tried to get a hold of herself. Her nipples were harder than they had ever been. A pain, not unlike how a clenched fist felt, radiated out from between her legs. She knew it had to do with the virus, but wasn't sure as to why it was affecting her like this. From where she was, Dani saw the news van pull up. With a sigh, she pushed herself upright again and set off to meet them, taking great care not to make eye contact with Julie and to arrive after the smaller athlete had.
The woman who stepped out of the van was by most accounts attractive. An estimation probably enhanced by her demure Asian features and frame. Before Dani was even close to the field's fence gate Julie was already animatedly talking to her. Beckoned to pick up her pace by her royal bitchiness Dani broke into a sprint only to feel the world tilt out from under her. As she hit the turf hard, the two girls who played guard rushed over to check on her.
"Omigawd! Are you okay?" asked the brunette named Becky.
"Need some water?" Gwen, the transfer from Scotland, added.
Dani didn't respond. Everything burned like she had been running for hours and her shirt was crushing the air from her lungs. All the while all she could think of was how cute the other two girls were. As the temperature in her body continued to rise the feeling from the other night slowly crept back into her mind. Without really thinking, she sat up suddenly and kissed Gwen on the lips before turning on Becky and nibbling on the other girl's neck. Both sat there stunned in response.
Having let them know she found them attractive Dani set about trying to get out of her apparently shrinking clothes before they strangled her. Grasping the upper hem of her jersey she jerked and the mesh tore open as a flood of tit flesh and stretching spandex poured out from behind it. It wasn't long before the spandex was also pushed to the brink, the collar sliding down over Dani's rapidly enlarging breasts revealing equally augmented aureola and nipples.
Still stunned, Gwen and Becky were oddly drawn to the pulsing orbs of flesh that, now free of the spandex, were heading towards enveloping Dani's entire torso. Now sure why they each took a nipple and began to tease them.
On the sidewalk Annie King was tired of listening Julie talk. She had come to interview the star athlete not her teammate. "Alright, that's nice and all. I'm glad you've got plans for your life, but I'm here for a story."
Juile looked disgusted but hid the shock quickly. "Oh right. She's over..." She had intended on pointing out where Dani had been slacking off but as she turned and took in the scene just a few feet from them her, mind came to a stop. At midfield Becky and Gwen were each sucking on a nipple of the largest pair tits Julie had ever seen. Tits that were twice the size of a watermelon and growing ever larger by the moment. Before her eyes, milk began to spray from them, nearly drowning the two girls at ground zero. She started to step backwards in revulsion until she realized who the pair of mammoth mam's belonged to.
Annie paused for a moment not sure what to do. Then she had a great idea."...Jim start rolling, I smell Pulitzer!" Stepping in front of the camera, Annie tried hard to not burst out laughing. "This is Annie King for Channel Seven News. I'm on the scene of what appears to be something out of a fantasy novel. Behind me, a woman is slowly growing right before our eyes. Most of the growth seems to be focused on her chest..."
Midfield, Dani was feeling the best she ever had, clenched fist in her gut aside. Her real body was returning with a vengeance, remaking her into the sex demi-goddess she had always wanted to be. To top it off Gwen and Becky were also getting the bodies they'd always wanted, her milk somehow endeavoring to further sculpt their well muscled bodies into images of near Spartan perfection.
"DANI! YOU BITCH!" Julie shouted as she tore across the field. Her revulsion at the mass of quivering tit flesh and cascading milk cast aside in the maelstrom of irrational jealousy against her teammate.
Dani watched Julie rush towards her. Pulling free of the other two girls she turned to face her royal bitchiness. Seconds before Julie got within arms reach, the clenched fist feeling suddenly went away. With a gasp Dani felt something growing between her legs before tearing through the cloth shorts that had already been pushed to their limits by her improved rump and hips. From the scraps of cloth a pair of cocks that rivaled Jay's burst forth. Falling to her knees at the sudden rush of sensation, she began to buck her hips and madly jerk on them until, with a massive moan a literal torrent of cum erupted from her newly grown shafts.
Julie watched Dani change and fall to the ground, but couldn't get out of the way fast enough as the flood of cum overtook her. The sticky wash completely enveloped her, instantly knocking her mind into a totally blissful state and leaving her almost catatonic as it slammed her into the chain link and poured past her into the street. Within seconds the changes began as Julie's torso was rapidly consumed by not one, but two pairs, of massive breasts. Pulling her to the ground, they were large enough that she could only lay helplessly on the still growing pillows of flesh.
All of this was caught on camera, as seconds after the initial wave, person after person in the street began to change. Realizing the danger, Annie grabbed the camera from Jim, who stood slack jawed at what was going on, and dashed across the street towards the sloped hill on the far side. Safe for the moment Annie watched as one by one everyone within a block of what had just happened expanded and transformed into macabre and perverse versions of themselves.
"If you're watching this, stay inside your homes and lock your doors. I will stay on the air as long as I have batteries keeping you posted on what feels like a bad parody of a George A. Romero movie. Admittedly, I always hoped something like this would happen. This is Annie King, Seven News."
The lounge of the lab's building was dead silent as the studio anchor came back on. He looked squeamish and after a moment of strained silence the channel went to commercials. A cacophony of "you don't think..."s, "...was that our fault?"s, and "what the hell?"s immediately filled the room until the sound of a door creaking open got everyone's attention.
Jay was standing in the door way, his cock throbbing in the air before him. It was now impossibly huge and each throb made his whole body shake.
"I have some rather frightening news...it seems that you all were successful in engineering a virus that will very likely cure any incurable illness. However, it's programming was perhaps too good. Even as we speak, it's replicating itself inside of all my cells, altering my body at the genetic level as it attempts to cure what it believes to be a deficiency of testosterone. This...thing is one symptom of that. The more terrifying thing though is the effects it has on an afflicted person's mind. Even now, it's taking everything I have not to just jerk off and flood this room. The virus is alive and it wants to cure the world. If you value anything, get out of her now before it's too late. You all made this and are very likely the only people who can stop it."
At the last words Jay's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he collapsed to the ground. The doctor's and scientists sat like statues, their faces the color of the marble they were imitating.
The throbbing in Jay's cock increased until with each twitch a small spurt of cum dribbled out. A drip that shot further and further with each pulse until it was hit the far wall of the lounge, spraying the TV with white goo and splashing people standing near the coffee machine. Sudden the reverie broke and everyone ran towards the other exit. Opening the door however, they were met by Penny. Whose breasts had grown to an impossible size and were obstructing the hallway.
One man, Dr. Fedarik Jurgeist, turned and dove back into the lounge. Jumping over the young man's comatose form he made a hasty retreat to the facilities exit. Few others were as fortunate. The main group of researchers tried to cut through the auditorium only to be trapped by other victims of the virus' effects. Two people that had formerly been women and now sported cocks that would make a horse jealous were ironically fucking on the stage where the first lecture about the potential of the virus' effects were outlined. Four turned to try another way as the others that tried to cross through were sprayed with cum when the two former women climaxed.
The carpet in the hall squished underfoot as the survivors four ran for the emergency exit on the far side of the office complex. Rounding the corner, a larger wall of freckled flesh waited from them where Penny had once been. Force to run past the lounge, they caught a glimpse of Jay railing the two women he had splattered before. His eyes were blank and there was a crazed smile on his face. Hauling ass through the cubicles the group made it to the emergency exit and rushed outside, slamming the door behind them. They seemed to be the only ones to escape. Out of a fully staffed lab, only three women and one man named David made it out untouched.
Outside the sounds of panic were carried on the wind. Shrill sirens and blaring horns combined into a chorus that sang a single song of panic.
"What have we done?" one of the women, her badge naming her as Karen.
"I don't know, but like he said, we're the only ones that can stop it." Another rebutted, her badge proclaiming her as Lilly.
The four turned from the chaos that was growing in the city below and descended to the parking garage. Getting in the first car belonging to one of them, which happened to be David's Volvo, they sped off towards I-70.
"The first priority is containment." He remarked as the peeled out of the garage. "The virus absolutely has to be held back until a anti-virus can be engineered."
"Hopefully it would only take a month, at worst two, to get a barrier up." Lilly asserted.
From behind, they watched as the windows on whole floors of the building burst in cascades of white liquid. After that, the four zoomed through along the interstate in silence, the reporter's voice from before coming softly from the speakers to fill the void.
"-I am currently on the roof of the Pallock Building as all around me society dissolves into chaos. Nine blocks now have been affected and that number is only growing by the moment. I am currently waiting for chopper evac, where I can safely relay all that is happening below. I pray for those who will be trapped by this white tide. Annie King, Seven News."
"It seems like things are worse than we thought." The woman sitting next to Karen said in a small voice. Her badge was missing as it had been on her coat and left behind during their escape.
"Indeed, we're going to need to come up with a plan farther than containment." David said in a pained voice. He put his foot down and the four sped away from the city dissolving in cum and towards a future that no one could hope to guess.
In the center of it all, Dani was having the time of her life. Her body had mostly stopped changing and she was ecstatic about the way it felt. Her newly grown cocks felt especially amazing as she pounded both of them into Julie's holes. Over and over she had come, each climax offering no real relief from the need and only succeeding in making her members grow even larger inside of the other girl. With every burst of growth the sensations from her new appendages increased, making it impossible for the infected girl to stop.
On the other end of the exchange, Julie couldn't agree more with the treatment she was receiving as each pulse of cum made her breasts swell. Already each was almost as big as she was and soon she would have the biggest tits ever! Then, everyone would be jealous of her, even in this new world that was being born all around.
Afterthoughts:
Sponsored by Bahamad over on FA, this was the true follow up to First Infection, as opposed to the Vast Expanse episodes I had done as requests. Only recently penned, I feel it really shows how I've grown as a writer (and where I still have room to improveX3)
