Steel Waste Chapter 346
Advertisement
Eventually, Afton is led into the surgery room where he's instructed to take off his clothing. Nyx begins to protest as Usanagi leaves the room for her tools, but Afton manages to placate her for now.
The Stealth suit was literally connected to his body, so taking it off is more difficult than you'd think. Apparently, it's also quite uncomfortable for Nyx as well. Afton strips off regardless though, the promise of free Implants being more than enough to sway his opinion... And that's not even considering the sexy Asian doctor that'd be examining him.
He carefully rests the Stealth suit on a nearby table while propping all his weaponry next to it. Once done he sits on the surgical bed and waits for Usnagi to return.
It isn't long before she comes back carrying a box of supplies, she's about to drop them off on a desk when she spots Afton... Her eyes trailed from his body to his strange arm, it honestly looked like some sort of prop, but obviously wasn't when he displayed his ability to move it.
She was interested in this for a variety of reasons, one, how Afton was able to survive such a deadly disease. Two, who he was able to literally regrow his arm back. And three, the strange black veins that covered his body at this point.
She coughs into her hand, "*Ahem*, if you could lie back on the bed that would be appreciated." she says as he begins retrieving her medical instruments, many vials, swabs, needles, and Petri dishes.
Afton shrugs and does so, "So, you come here often?" he jokes, hoping to test out how effective his [Lady Killer] Perk really is. It didn't directly influence all his interactions with the female sex, but sometimes he did feel an urge to say certain things. Though, the occasions when it does are few and far between.

Usanagi just shakes her head at him, "You are much more... Social, than when you were here previous, Mr Parker. Could the Fungus have had such an effect?" she says, shutting him down completely.
"No, I don't think so... Though, I don't remember those trousers of yours being so tight before either." he shoots back, deciding to just ham-fist it until something works... He is literally in his underwear right now anyway...
"Perhaps a problem with your vision or memory as well then?" she drawls, walking over with a couple vials and swabs. "Open your mouth."
Afton does as she says and waits as she swabs the inside of his mouth, nose and ears. Afterwards, she draws blood from his plant arm, as well as some regular blood. The former of which is dark and almost a green colour, which surprises her immensely.
"Strange... How is the blood in your arm different to the blood everywhere else... Are the systems not connected?" she quietly mutters to herself before scraping some bark, and leathery skin off into a petri dish. Afterwards shoving all the samples into a machine nearby.
Afton shrugs at her question, "Maybe it's something to do with these black veins of mine..." he guesses.
She looks up from her contemplation and nods, using a needle to take a blood sample from the veins, much to Afton's reluctance... He wasn't afraid of needles but, having one so close to his eye was rather unnerving.
"Couldn't you take some blood from somewhere else?" he complains, as he had more veins like that elsewhere.
"It was the easiest place to extract from... Stop whining, I thought you were a man." she challenges.
Afton furrows his brow, "Men don't get penetrated. They do the penetrating." he states.

"Then you haven't been a man for some time. It was months ago with I first 'penetrated' you. Remember?"
He sighs, "How long's this gonna take? I'd rather have the Implants before I start my next job."
"Ah-erm..." She looks over at the machine, "An hour or two... Or three?"
Afton sits up, "Can you give me the Implants while that's happening? I've got better shit to do than wait around all day."
"Ah, wait, wait, wait... I still want to examine you to compare the findings afterwards. And I want to make sure it's as accurate as possible, so no Implants until after... Besides, I have no idea if the Implants will conflict with your mutations"
Afton frowns, "You know, if it's gonna take this long I might as well just pay for the Implants. I'm not all that worried about the side-effects either." he says, not wanting to sit around all day.
"I will pay you 100 caps to stay here and let me properly examine you." she finally states, eager enough to find the secrets of his body that she was willing to pay him.
Afton shakes his head and is about to refuse when an idea pops into his mind, "I don't want caps... Do you remember what Pre-war doctors used to give to well-behaved children?"
...
Not knowing where this was going, Usanagi answers properly. "I'm sure it was candy or something similarly sweet."
Afton grins, "More specifically, what candy?"
...
"Lollipops? I don't see why you are asking me this... Unless you want me to treat you like a child and give you one... Something I can't do as I don't have any." she explains, thoroughly confused.
Afton raises a brow, "You don't have one? Oh, that's a shame... I do have an alternative though..."
She sighs, wondering just what her patient actually wanted, "Fine, what do you want?"
He shrugs, "You don't have any, but I do... Suck on it for a while and I'll stay put." he states it outright. The bulge in his underwear signalling that they weren't talking about candy anymore.
...
Usanagi scowls at him for a moment, before eventually realising she'd not taking one kind of sample... She mulls it over in her mind before coming to a decision. "You don't tell anyone. And you release into this." she says, raising a vial.
[Lady Killer is in effect]

The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.
