Waking up just after a awakening can be a painful experience. Now normally you would be doped to the gills with enough pain killers to make you think that you were dead and in heaven. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately my Granny's Molly's best friend had been addicted to pain killers at age 85. There was suppose to a tape somewhere of Jim begging for money for drugs and some teenagers offering him some if he would let them film him. Film him doing what I do not know and never want to know.
So now my granny will not let anyone give her or me pain killers. Because if one of the toughest men she knew a ex marine can be turned into a dope head anyone can. Which meant i had signed documents saying to pain medication ever.
This meant when I woke up it felt like there was a massive rhino tap dancing on my head. Looking around I saw a pretty female nurse nod at me. “Your awake good Max. Your granny Molly forbade us giving you anything for the pain but you have a button there. Just push it if the pain gets too much” A wave of pain almost made me curse.
All I had to do is push the button and my pain would be gone. Then I remembered my granny talk about opioids “You take any of that shit and I will personally cut off your balls. You hear me boy after what happened to Jim I am not taking any chances.”
I starred at the nurse “My gran would not like it if I took anything so remove the tube.”
The nurse looked startled “Your in pain surely you Granny would not object to you getting some relief.”
“Remove the tube and take the button away.”
A spike of pain echoed through my brain but I kept my eyes on the nurse. I was not risking some do gooder deciding I needed pain relief I liked my balls where they were.
I liked to think my granny would not cut off my balls but I always remembered the look she gave Tommy when he became addicted after a bike crash. A few months later a video of Tommy asking a man for money and offering to sleep with him for it had been posted out to all the neighbours.
I also liked to think that my granny had not acted to get rid of Tommy before he sold me or any of my friends drugs. But in the back of my mind the feeling that my granny had sent that video and would cut my balls off if I took any pain killers made me decide.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The nurse leaned forward “Its not as addictive as you were told we have supers helping make sure its non addictive. Your in pain so why do you not”
“Listen nurse I will keep my limbs so if you mention it again I will sue you. Now I want that iv detached and the button removed or I am going to shove it up your ass”
For a second I felt bad the nurse was just doing her job but then I remembered Tommy and the video. I did not want to end up like that. More importantly I wanted to keep my balls. My granny might have been old but she was a decent shot. I pulled out the iv and tossed the button down and got ready to feel pain.
I starred at the nurse “What did I get? I mean my super power what did I get?”
“10 to 20 percent chance of a water control power and 15 to twenty of a Lord power your other skills are unknown”
The nurse looked ready to smash my head in and was visibly upset. I guess being told I would sue her was a bit much. But then again I had never known my granny Molly not to do something she said she would do.
The door to my room burst in and a large black nurse rushed in “Its bad there is a old lady with a shotgun threatening to kill doctor Smith if we do not bring us to see her grandson”
A throb of pain almost caused me to scream and I glared at the two nurses “Let my granny Molly in I have never known her to bluff.” The nurses seemed to turn to stone and I starred at there pale faces.
Luckily a instant later my granny Molly opened the door to my room with one hand the other holding a plasma shotgun she was grinning
“We have to celebrate boy your a super now. That brat really risked your life she gave you a super serum that increases the chances of gaining a production skill at the cost of increasing the chances you die. Luckily you are still alive or I would be up for murder.”
I tried to avoid starring at the plasma shotgun in my granny hands. I knew from the internet that it fired a blast of plasma embers that would burn threw tank armour. How the hell my granny still had it when they had been banned I did not know. The female nurse pissed herself while the black male nurse took a step forward and stepped in front of the terrified female nurse.
My granny smile was evil “Say Max she did not give you anything she should not have?” I shook my head “No mam in fact she was just going to remove the iv right?”
The black nurse whose name tag Gerry was on stepped forward and pulled out my IV while I tried not to scream from the pain. My granny grinned at me “Boy your taking it like a champ. ”
I glared at my granny “Can you knock me out and are they going to arrest you?”
“Relax boy your a super and a production one at that. You could piss into the coffee pot and they would have to drink it and thank you for making them your special blend. ”
I felt a stab of pain and my granny looked shifty “So when we are done we will give you a drug to block out your short term memory.”
“Why would I need that gran?” I barely recognised my voice as I spoke out.
“Well you heal better without drugs. So you being awake gives you a percentage or even two better odds of developing a new super power. But boy relax it might hurt but you will not remember when you wake. Also the results are in you got the second power they thought you would get. You have the ability to remove toxins from the ground and water. ”
