Sex comes in the next part.
I have to reunite all dots, first.
OUR STATUS, OUR STATE
CHAPTER 9
Already too late?
Bugdom, 2051. ANother year over
HIV's perspective:
What a disaster! I felt so useless. Another year had slipped away without me being able to do shit; killing Greg's son made the self-claimed "president" even angrier and, worse than anything, young Elias seemed to be scared of me.
"I hear voices", the boy told his father, and Adrian gave him sleeping pills then returned to his Bella living doll, only sex toy available. Needless to say, without consenting poz sex in the house, life became boring and flat. If only Adrian could know the truth! I counted on Greg's defeat sooner or later, but even after resetting all his robots based army, he always felt he was the stronger man in the planet.
Could I reveal Bella's identity to Adrian, or Sharon? It was too risky, with Elias unaware of his own real powers I couldn't! I was keeping biggest secrets than that and I wanted the world truly safe before taking any step forward. It was better to be a quiet observer from everyone's blood stream and I took my own decision.
"I feel completely worn out, father", I confided in Adrian one sunny morning. "Turn me into undetectable please, let me sleep!"
"WHAT?" he stood up and yelled; "don't you dare say that, you naughty virus! The best has yet to come!"
"You're responsible for all this mess, you asshole human! The day you voted! And if you don't remember, I do! Of course I do because that day you decided the end of humanity and left me completely alone to repair the damages."
"With millions of poz people choosing Greg, it was democracy", he interrupted me. "You can't blame me. Blame yourself not to have prevented it from happening."
"You now regret what I told you for years, remember 2024 when Greg started screaming? What did we say then?"
"I voted for President Greg Arvil", Adrian was talking resigned to the inevitable. "Because he promised to maintain sex freedom for HIV positive people, he wanted us to be upfront about our status. Who could even guess that..."
"That he confined us? I was in his blood stream much much before than I reached yours, so, get me undetectable or I'll reveal everything to Elias! About Sharon, Bella, you, and about the fluid lady. You know what I mean."
"Undetectable? Forget it," Adrian challenged me defiantly. "In this shitty world, there's nothing left to lose. We're all going to die in a way or another."
"I warn you, it's time to face the consequences of your actions. I have nothing to lose either, so, let's do what we can, to die together in peace. Deal?"
------
Father's perspective.
I woke up with a terrible headache, after yet another night playing with Bella. What a strange doll, its insides were too similar to human beings. Its hole's taste, appearance and smell, I had to clean it internally at least twice a day because most times it was disgusting to play with. And it even moaned like a human, although I didn't manage to get a word from its mouth.
It even ate like a human, Sharon said, but feeding it was her duty, for me it was just a sex toy. The only entertainment left to me.
On the other hand, my son was a disappointment: I always kept him to sleep through pills as he spoke and screamed all the time, no way to have sex with him any longer. "I feel dirty, I hear voices, my hole hurts" were all his reasons and I let his mother take care of him.
HIV was my only living being I could talk to, until that morning when they asked me to get them undetectable.
"No way", I said, "you're my only hope. The only weapon I have to fight the world's creatures outside."
What's left of me, I thought looking at myself in the mirror; I may feel time passing, I'm becoming older and older each day.
But while I was standing in the bathroom crying on my own misery, Sharon suddenly opened the door and shook my shoulders abruptly.
"Gifter!" she demanded, her voice rising. "I need you in our bedroom. Be quick!"
She didn't give me time to ask any question, grabbing my wrist firmly and guiding me to my master bedroom.
I remained at the door, shocked by the scene presenting under my eyes.
"I came over to check Elias", she whispered in my ear, "and I surprised them like this..."
One of Greg's robots, Number Two, was lying in the middle of my bed, awake, between Elias and Bella who were deeply asleep instead; their face visible, bodies well hidden under my thickest blanket.
My service pistol was lying on the table nearby, safely holstered and I reached for it.
"You worthless robot", I screamed holding my weapon in hand; "just a couple bullets and all your circuits will be destroyed! Leave my boys alone!"
Oh, damn, I said boys. I looked at Bella, then Elias; how could I define Bella a boy! Instinct talked, it was evident.
"Don't arrest them", I begged, "I'm a cop like you..."
"I'm not afraid of your gun", Number Two laughed and got out of bed, hiding its hands behind its back. "I'm not here to harm." It showed me its hands and pushed two of its fingers into my mouth simultaneously; fuck, it was clearly using them for some sex activities.
"Taste these converting sluts", it said; "don't you remember old times, man? You're missing your boys' fuck flu!"
Definitely it hit my pride: I fucked Eli and Bella, but now this bot was enjoying their conversion? I breathed deep, reliving my old times as a profiler, when serial killers did their best to trigger me and find my vulnerable points. Focusing on anything else mostly worked, and I made my move towards that ambiguous servant of President's.
"Dude, your voice seems familiar to me", I whispered. "You called me when someone attempted to Greg's life."
It high-fived me and surprisingly I felt a warm hand! Despite artificial voice and rigid movements due to metal skeleton, it was an ordinary, sexy, human skin-to-skin touch.
"Fuck number two", he clearly said, gesturing Sharon out of the room. "I'm Donald. And I'm his father", he pointed his finger on Bella who was still asleep.
He then pulled out the covers and I couldn't believe in what I saw: no trace of Bella any longer, I was looking at a young guy's sweaty, irritated skin, greasy of medicine-smelling cream.
Donald slowly and cautiously rolled him on his back and then I noticed he had his penis locked, as well as my Elias but my shock exploded as soon as I looked him into his eyes.
"SCOTT", I yelled, not caring to wake him and Elias up; "little troublemaker!" I got close to him to grab his hands and sit him up, but Donald stopped me: "that nasty rubber mask burned him, he's in pain. Leave him alone, let HIV do their job on him."
"I... I feel...", Scott tentatively spoke, but every word was an effort for him. "Feel melting. A candle! Scared..."
"Don't talk", Donald sat on the bed's edge next to him. "Dad's here for you."
"Dad? You really mean that..." Donald and Scott had upset me so much that I couldn't bring myself to look at my own son, who was lying to the other side of the bed, still drugged by sleeping meds I gave him.
"Call Mama", Scott attempted to speak again and Donald took my arm, guiding me out of the room, letting Sharon taking my place to look after the boys.
"Donald! Bastard! Two and two brings four", I shouted when we both were out of my room. "Scott calls mama and Sharon comes in? Tell me when you had sex with her, filthy pig!"
"Never", he said nonchalantly. "Can't deny I would like to, but she's determined to be faithful to her gifter. And thank our HIV if we're safe now. If it weren't for our virus..."
"A pozzed up robot", I let go a desperate laugh; "Make me escape from this world!"
"My gifter lives in your cellar", he pushed me down the stairs till we reached the metal door.
Is he an ally, is he a trap, before opening the cellar door I had to be certain because everything seemed at the least weird.
"Yeah", he proudly smiled this time. "Scott's your nephew, and Alexandra is my..."
"You haven't ever to call her name", I squeezed his wrist tightly, sure I couldn't break any bone there. All metal inside him. "Not since when you started to work for Greg!"
"Stupid human", he hugged me; "I have always worked for you since I was much younger, almost a kid", he said. "When you asked me to be bait for on line minors' sex predators. It was our deal when I dated Alex still in high school, before the war..."
I couldn't speak. I had just to remain silent, my hands over the cellar's handle.
"You taught me to be a good undercover agent, and it's been like this for 30 years. I'm a grown-up, boss! I'm no longer the bait for sex offenders. I'm the bait for dictators! Nice upgrade,isn't it?"
I broke down in tears, collapsing down on my knees. "I assumed you died under nuclear explosions", I sobbed on his shoulder; "I thought I had lost my best co-worker, and now having you here in this state... so tell me what happened."
"I exposed myself to enemies to let you rescue Sharon", he started to explain; "I was sure about what I was doing because I was wearing an anti-radiation armour. They kidnapped Alexandra you remember..."
Of course I remembered back in 2032, when my sister Alex, after recovering from an almost deadly cervical cancer, identified herself from woman to genderfluid and her female organs permanent loss was no longer a problem; but then she was arrested by the "morality police" created by President Greg. Every person not identified by man or woman, or having ambiguous names such as "Alex", had to be locked in prisons or in military labs, to be used for science experiments.
"I was seriously injured", Donald continued. "And with my last energy I have accepted to be treated in that lab where they replaced bones with metal and electronic circuits."
"Painful", was the only word I managed to say; "but Alex is sterile, since long time, how could you..."
"You know the Web", Donald smiled at me. "Old times, but the only chance to save humans."
I shook my head, what the fuck was he saying!
"I mean the Women Egg Bank", Donald explained. "She didn't share her decision with family but when she was diagnosed with a malignant cancer she offered her egg cells to the Women Egg Bank to freeze them for the future. She felt bad times would come, and damn if she was right."
"But Scott, and you..."
"I'm Sperminator", he smiled mischievously at me. "Never had the chance to experiment real human sex but my seed has been used for most Greg's soldiers. And Scott, he was artificially conceived and grew up in an artificial incubator till Greg gave him to the ones Scott considered as his parents. By the way, now the circle closed!"
"HIV", I insisted. "You avoided that detail."
"Blood slam", I explained; "feeling we were in danger, I asked Alexandra to poz me after she told me how you pozzed her at hospital. You're basically my second-degree gifter, besides my boss. But until Greg's alive, we can not come out as a real family and claim European state as ours."
To be continued.
