Altered Ch. 06

"Mike, your awake!" Victoria exclaimed.

"Arrgh, my head is killing me... How long have I been out? And more importantly why is Chiara sleeping on Syn's lap?"

"You've been in a coma for over a week! Syn wouldn't leave your side, even after your 'effects' wore off. Chiara saw how much she adored you and they became fast friends, they're almost inseparable. Chiara comes over every day now even when she doesn't need to be watched to check up on you and play with her new friend."

Victoria rushed to my side hugging me.

"Hey, Victoria! How are you doing?"

"Great! You cured me! The doctors were astounded, there are no traces of cancer left anywhere! There is no trace of Lupus either, it's like it was never there."

"That's great! I'm so happy for you!... How is everyone else?"

"They're all in France, we were only planning on staying in each country a week. I was able get a medical waiver on my Visa to stay another week."

"I need to talk with Anna for a few minutes, Victoria. We'll catch up in a bit, OK?"

"OK, I'll just sit over here and read for a while," she said, leaning over and kissing me.

I waved Anna over. "How is Catalina doing?"

"She is fine, she is a little annoyed that she has an armed guard following her around 24/7. I finally got her to agree to move in with me and help me with my business affairs. She is selling her store, but she seems happy. She of course is worried about you, but physically you were actually fine. You healed completely within a day, the doctors could not figure out what caused your coma though. They said these things are normal and not to worry; you would most likely be fine in a week or so and sure enough you are. She comes by from time to time to check up on you, maybe she'll be over later."

"Well what are we going to do about Syn? And why is she not constrained..." I asked.

"She is free to go. She volunteered all she knew about the OEC to the Illuminati. We have already destroyed three of their bases of operation here in Europe. We didn't even need to interrogate her, she said that somehow you healed her mind. She was so grateful, that she gave up everything... Don't worry we faked her death and got her a new ID... Umm except, you may not like this but the Illuminati thought it would be a great backstory if you two were married, soooo... Congratulations!"

"Wait... What?"

"Yes! That's right, while you were unconscious everyone decided to marry you off. Even your friend Victoria over there had a say in it," she said.

Just then I noticed Syn stirring.

"Michael Andersen I'd like you to meet your wife Hedí Andersen!..." she said, a little too gleefully. "From Iceland" she said handing me a dossier.

Victoria just looked annoyed but Syn looked as happy as a monkey visiting a banana farm. She looked like she wanted to get up but she nodded to indicate that Chiara was still asleep in her lap.

She mouthed, "You're awake," and I nodded and smiled in return.

I was confused, all of these women together and none seemed jealous of the other. If Catalina, Victoria, Anna and Syn were all working together and they made the decision to marry me off to Syn without any jealousy despite my sleeping with two of them, (even Anna gave me a blowjob), there had to be a bigger story that I was missing. Normally when girls find out you are sleeping with someone else you are in for a shit load of hurt and yet here it was all out in the open and they all seemed to be fine with it all. I heard of polyamorous relationships but they were rare, so there had to be something else messing with the statistics to have four randomly selected lovers of mine being fine with each other.

I saw that Syn was lightly poking Chiara in the ribs. Chiara awoke kind of grumpily until Syn whispered in her ear. Chiara turned wide-eye and bounced off of Syn and seemed to use the floor as a trampoline and flew up into my bed and into my arms before I could even gasp in surprise. Her exuberance was amazing.

"Mike, Mike, Mike," she chanted. "You're awake, finally! Momma is going to be sooo happy!"

She nestled her head into my neck and shoulder, and I looked around to see nothing but happy faces. I never knew that I could be this happy. But in my gut, I knew that happiness usually came at a cost and I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Syn came over to pull Chiara off of me. "Come now baby, give him a kiss and let's get going. We'll go get your mamma..."

"But I want to stay here with Mike."

"Mike needs to get cleaned up," she said, pinching her nose. "He's kind of stinky." she said making a funny face making Chiara laugh. "He will be here when we get back, I promise."

Chiara held out her arms and Syn scooped her up and held her onto her hip. As she walked out the door, one of the guards followed her. I guessed it was for Chiara not Syn.

I got up and was surprised that after a week in bed I felt fine. I felt just as strong as ever. Anna seemed to read my mind.

"I read your dossier. Apparently, your muscles don't atrophy the way a normal human's does. You don't seem to lose any muscle mass unless you are deprived of food. As long as you maintain your caloric requirements for the day you'll maintain your physical - umm - perfection," she said winking. "On the other side of the coin, you DO have to eat a lot more than normal. You have a 50% increase in caloric need per pound of body mass. Don't worry about starving though, apparently your body maintains a muscle memory, and will build itself back up if you do atrophy once you start eating more."

"So - what? I don't have to exercise anymore?" I asked, perplexed.

"No! They wanted to create a machine that would never tire nor need maintenance... It's funny, what they created as a side effect, people would sell their souls for."

"I need to ask you something private... about you know what," I said, looking over at Victoria.

"It's ok Mike. She has been read in and agreed to secrecy, she knows about the Illuminati."

"Why? How do you guys keep your secret society secret if you tell everyone."

"We don't tell everyone. She was let in for a reason... She is pregnant with your child."

My head started spinning, this was getting to be too much. I mean I should have known that would happen.

"Don't worry, Theresa is not pregnant, she put the IUD in on time... I'm sorry, I never put one in... I thought my life was going to end and if it wasn't..." Victoria added.

"Mike, I get how you must be overwhelmed, but we need you to pull it together. There are much bigger issues at stake here than Victoria being pregnant."

"What could be bigger and more life changing than that?" I asked.

"The war! The war between the Illuminati and the OEC has led to catastrophe. No one knows it yet... But a sect of the Illuminati have been developing a virus to control overpopulation by genetic selection. The virus was designed to look for certain genetic defects and make those men and women with those defects infertile. Once the bigger body of the Illuminati found out, it was decided to destroy this virus. However, the OEC got a hold of the research before it was destroyed and modified it. The virus they created was released into the air all over the world, soon everyone will be infected."

"What does this virus do?"

"It makes non-Ataruian males infertile and non-Ataruian females unable to produce male offspring... Like all viruses however there will be a small percentage of human males that will be immune but they will be one in one thousand maybe even more scarce. You and your children will be sought after if they ever find you out. You actually can produce a cure... although unfortunately it would be genetically coded for the person you are curing, it wouldn't be universal. If they find out about you, they'll throw you back in a lab for the rest of your life."

"So, my children..." I asked.

"Your children will be immune, both because you are Ataruian and able to cure the virus in the human host. Victoria is immune, she will be able to produce male children. You are going to have to hide her before the - 'shit hits the fan' - as you Americans say."

"It's not just Victoria you will have to worry about, I too am pregnant... and Catalina is too."

"What? I used condoms with Catalina, that's impossible."

"Impossible yes, normally. Unfortunately, you produce too much ejaculate for a condom to handle. Some must have spilled out, because she too is pregnant."

"Why are YOU pregnant?" I asked, exasperated.

"I was selfish. I wanted a child. I thought you would be long gone by now and I would have the child in secret. But now that all of these other things have come to light, I cannot hide it from you."

"Fuck!" I said, wanting to throw up.

I wasn't upset about the prospect of being a father, I had already accepted that I would likely produce a lot of offspring. The way they wired my head, I actually wanted it. No, what upset me was that I was finally going to be able to come out of hiding and possibly have a small semblance of a normal life and now I would have to go back on the run.

I tried to calm myself. What did I have going for me? Well the Trackers were split into three camps. Some stayed loyal to the OEC and some to the Illuminati but the vast majority went into hiding. Apparently, the Trackers had a hand in murdering someone important in Grand Lake, Colorado and people were hunting them down. This meant that I had a better chance of avoiding detection than I would have if this happened a couple of weeks ago.

Another advantage was, the girls were working together. They weren't backbiting or jealous, this crisis was causing their normal jealousies to be set aside for survival. It could be that I had a physical or maybe even a psychic effect on them also, but I had no way to test that theory right then.

The biggest advantage I had was the Illuminati weren't after me; rather they were actually helping me. This meant I had resources, money, and manpower to call on. The Illuminati was in bed with half of the world militaries, and their secret stash of technology rivaled the US and China. They had private planes that could fly me anywhere, and real estate in virtually every country in the world.

On the flip side, I knew that the Illuminati's help would come at a cost. In the future they would need me but I resigned myself to my fate and decided that I would do the best with the cards I was dealt.

I still needed to find my mother and I needed to use the help they were willing to give me while I still had it.

"I still have to find my mother! That hasn't changed," I stated firmly. As an afterthought, "And find Syn's mom too while you are at it... We don't want someone using Syn against me."

"They already found my mother!" Syn spoke up.

"Yes, it was one of the reasons she was so cooperative with us. We have moved her to a secure location and they are in touch with each other," Anna spoke. "As for me, well, I have all the security I'll need and more coming. Catalina and I will stay here under guard, Victoria is welcome to stay too but..."

"I am coming with you!" Victoria said. "Please, Mike? No one knows about me and it will be a while before the world finds out about the virus. It will take months before they realize anything is wrong and even longer before they do anything about it."

"It'll be dangerous, but it might be safer if you are with me than on your own."

I read the dossier on the virus.

The dossier was full of descriptions of the virus and what it did. There were studies and statics galore. The virus itself didn't kill anyone, that's what made it so dangerous. If people weren't informed right away, the effects it could have on the population would be catastrophic.

What the virus did was to alter the genetic code of most human males and females. The sperm of infected males would become genetically incompatible with human females because they would be lacking one of the 23 essential chromosomes that are needed. Essentially it would be the same as if a monkey fucked a human, the sperm just wouldn't be recognized as compatible and would fail to fertilize the egg.

The eggs of an infected female would genetically reject all y chromosome sperm but they would still be able to produce female children. Their daughters would inherit this trait. Only 0.01% of females would be immune, making it just as important for an immune woman to produce more immune women as it would be for them to produce men.

The problem with the virus was that it would hard to find, it looked like a common cold virus. Also, since it didn't kill anyone nor even make them sick, it would continue spreading like wildfire until everyone was infected. The effects of the virus wouldn't be felt right away since no one is really looking out for people not becoming pregnant. It would be up to doctors to report that none of their patients were getting pregnant and by the time the governments reacted and found the cause, it would be a good year of barely any pregnancies.

Of the 7.5 billion people in the world, we lose about 55.3 million per year. However, our growth rate comes from the fact that the number of births per year are more than double the about of deaths at 131.4 million births per year. That makes our current growth rate 76.1 million per year. Once that years' worth of barely any pregnancies kicked in our growth rate would switch to a declination of 55 million per year. Panic would ensue because a lot of economies are dependent on the growth of their population, even first world countries would want it at least flat.

It would become paramount to stop the decline but until a cure was found social policies would have to be changed. Things that current civilized society would deem barbaric would have to be enacted before it was too late. Things like forced fertilization, forced sperm donations, immune people might even become government property or protected assets.

If they found a person like me that could cure women one by one, just imagine how valuable I would become. I literally could shift the balance of power of whole nations making me potentially the most wanted man in history. If I was going to find my mother I would have to do it fast, before the proverbial shit really did hit the fan.

"I have prepared a private jet for you to use tonight," Anna stated. "However, there are some other things you need to know. We have utilized all of our resources trying to find who the anonymous women were whom already had your babies but so far, we haven't had any luck. The hope is that if we can't find them then no one can, but..."

"They might potentially be used against me in the future! As if I didn't have enough to worry about."

"Yes. And, the women you had sex with during your 'incarceration' are all potentially immune to the virus. So, in the future when they start looking for immune women they might find a connection that way."

"How many women are we talking about? I have no memories of that time except flashes here and there."

"We know that you were kidnapped for four years but it took them three years to get all of their work done on you. Once you were fully functional, they had you 'with' about thirty women a day every day for 401 days... All of those women, whether infertile or not became fertile after that, surprisingly even older women who went through menopause had a regeneration of their eggs and their wombs became viable."

I did a quick calculation in my head, "That's over twelve thousand women!"

"Yes, thank god you didn't get them all pregnant! However, they do all know what you look like, so you need to watch out for them."

"Greaaaaat," I sighed. "How am I going to do that, if I don't know what THEY look like?"

"We hope that it doesn't become an issue, but you are now married to a mind reader so that might help... Don't worry about money. We will take care of your financial needs. We may need to call on you in the future, so think of it as a down payment for future services rendered," she said, in an apologetic way.

I knew she wasn't the only one making these decisions and it followed logically that they would call on me in the future so I didn't blame her.

"I have to go and make some preparations for you," Anna said as she left the room once again.

I looked over at Victoria then the nurse and guard and said, "Can we have some privacy please?"

The nurse got up to leave but the guard was hesitant.

"You can just wait outside the door, right?" I asked, "I'll yell if I'm in trouble," I reassured.

"OK, try not to make too many noises that sound like you're fighting off an intruder or I'll be compelled to come in here."

"You got it, Chief," I said, chuckling. I indicated for him to come in close and I whispered "Don't let anyone else in here..." and he replied by winking.

Victoria gave me an apologetic look, she anticipated our conversation.

"I'm sorry," she began, "I should have put in the IUD, I know, but something deep within me just wanted this baby... You don't have to stick around, I'm pretty wealthy you know. I can raise the baby on my own."

"Nonsense!" I said, "You are right... You should have let me have some say in it, but what's done is done. I like you Victoria, I would never have had sex with you otherwise. I'd like to say I was in love with you, but I don't know you well enough. I do find you extremely attractive and the thought of being with you is appealing, but if you do stay with me you'll have to accept that..."

"You'll be having sex with a lot of women in the future... Yeah I know that and I don't care," she said.

"You say that now but it might bother you later."

"Are you going to treat me badly later? Are you going to abuse me? Neglect me - sexually?"

"To be honest, I can't see that I would ever do that. As far as sex goes, well I don't think you have to worry about that. They made me into a kind of sexual stud. I could have sex all day with multiple women and not get tired. I can take care of you. With you it would always be special. You were my first since my awakening..."

She started unbuttoning her shirt and quickly undressed and stood before me naked and vulnerable. I had nothing but a hospital gown on so undressing was just a matter of unsnapping a button and flinging the garment aside.

"Take your wig off," I said.

She looked unsure but looked at my eyes and got her assurances. She took out the hair pins and set her wig down on the chair behind her. Her hair was super short, maybe only an inch in length. It was a dirty blonde color since it wasn't ever in sunlight. To me she looked gorgeous, it was all her and that's what I wanted.

She turned back to me and saw nothing but desire and her angst flew away with her fears. She saw my cock pointing straight up waiting for her attention and she scrambled onto the bed crawling up to me kissing me up my body as she made her way to me face. Starting with my ankle and kissing along my shin to my knee she spiraled into my inner thigh until her nose was pressed underneath my balls. The way she had her eyes locked onto mine. She came up, tongue extended and she licked the underside of my shaft causing me to shiver. When she got to the head, she simply gave it a chaste kiss. She then continued up kissing up my tight abs, rimming my belly button and moving up until she go to my nipples. She swirled and sucked them both and my nipples protruded out stiffly, and my cock jumped with each nibble and bite.

She kept moving up to my shoulder, kissing my neck, nibbling my ear then she finished by whispering, "Am I yours?" as she straddled me hovering her soaking cunt over my tortured cock.

I grabbed the back of her head and pulled her lips to mine. Our kiss blew up like fireworks. Our mouths were vicious and we moved with passion and force. She bit my bottom lip drawing a little blood and our tongues traded the coppery metallic taste between us.
