My thoughts on the next day being better than the last were proven right when the day dawned with Alexis deciding to wake me up in a very pleasurable and distracting way. After making sure to reward her with pulses of pleasure of her own as well as reinforcing the feeling of happiness she got from being around me and helping me, I went to my pet scientists, who were also already awake.
After reinforcing their commands as well, I found out that their progress had been expedited immensely by the supplies I'd gotten for them, and they had an experimental first dose for me. I couldn't help eyeing the syringe full of purple fluid with just a bit of concern and even some fear admittedly. There was quite a small amount of liquid inside, much less than the very large dose Kilgrave had his father inject him with near the end of the season, but still…
"Tell me truthfully in percentage, how safe is this?"
Albert answered promptly, "There is a small chance of complications as there always is with these things, no more than five or ten percent though. Whether it will actually work or not is less certain and something we can only test by applying it to you and having you test it."
Letting out a breath of air I nod, "Very well. As they say, you either grow or you die. Get me a hand towel from the bathroom Louise."
She does so, promptly of course, and as I wad it up, I speak directly to Albert, "Your hands will be completely steady. You will inject me perfectly and make no mistakes."
I'm not entirely sure how such commands translate, as I put the wadded towel in my mouth to bite down on, before laying down on the bed for Albert to get at my neck, but at the very least his hands should be as steady as possible. A small comfort, as he brings the needle to my neck, and I do my best to remain still as he injects the contents of the syringe into me.
I let out a muffled scream as he did so, once again being forced to acknowledge that no matter what you may want to say about Kilgrave, he had fucking pain tolerance in spades. The man had taken an injection several times larger than this one without anything to bite down on, and he'd come through it. As Albert finished the injection in a second that felt like minutes, I just lay there gasping as I felt the drugs do their work.
Hands curling into fists, I beat one down on the bed beneath me repeatedly before spitting out the wadded towel and cursing, "FUCK!"
The pain takes far too long to go away but as the minutes pass I'm able to slowly draw myself off the bed, praise my scientists and tell them they want to get back to work and that I will find a way to test my abilities by the time the day is out. Dragging myself to the kitchen, I settle into a chair and eat the breakfast Alexis puts in front of me. Her eggs actually taste better than yesterday, though I don't put much thought into it. Once I've eaten, I make a list of the things to do for the day and then Alexis and I once more leave to run our errands.
The first stop is of course WNEX again.
