Anomalous readings

As Mike walks beside Damon, the scientist chuckles to himself. “I hope you’re not upset about that. It can be amusing to poke fun at Kyrie.”

Mike shakes his head. “Not upset at all. I’m just surprised to see humor out of you, you seem so serious most times.”

Damon nods. “I’ll admit that I’m not a jovial person, but away from my work I loosen up a bit. These are my friends as well as my coworkers, despite my reticence towards sexual things.”

Mike smiles. “Well, I’m feeling pretty comfortable here already. Despite being essentially trapped here.”

Damon sighs. “Well, hopefully you can be happy here. If tomorrow goes well, you’ll likely have free reign over where you go, although I’m sure that the ladies will want you around.”

Mike nods. “I’m sure. I like being around them, so I’m not about to vanish into the city or anything.”

Damon leads him into a examination room, gesturing for him to lie on the bed. “Regardless, as I said, I discovered something anomalous when I was looking at our scans of you. I’d like to do another to confirm what I’m seeing.”

Mike nods, lying in the scanner table. “Nothing dangerous, I hope?”

Damon shakes his head as he pulls up the controls. “No, quite the opposite, in fact. Pardon my prying, but the day we examined you, you had intercourse with Alicia that morning, correct?”

Mike blinks in surprise. “Well, yes. It was a bit of a…”

Damon waves his hand to interrupt. “The details are unimportant. However, it may explain the difference between the initial scans we did while you were **** upon arrival, and the scans that day. I’ll need to check again now to be sure, however. Especially since I’m aware that both Alicia and Kyrie have taken you to bed since.”

Mike chuckles. “Yeah, they weren’t very subtle about it.”

Damon doesn’t respond, watching the reading on the monitor. He nods, his eyes flicking over the data. After a few minutes, he turns to Mike.

“It’s just as I thought, the anomalous readings are increasing. Something within you is changing, and the changes, although they are subtle, are becoming more obvious to our readings. “

Mike frowns. “And you think my having sex is the cause?”

Damon nods. “If not the cause, then at least one of the catalysts, just based upon where the readings are coming from.”

Mike chuckles. “So, are you saying that I should stop?”

Damon shakes his head. “Not at all! The chances are minor, practically indiscernible so far, but they seem to be improving you. Increased lung capacity, more responsive muscle fibers, heightened senses of touch, I’m even seeing increases in your sexual functioning.”

Mike furrows his brow. “So…what does that mean, big picture?”

Damon chuckles. “It means, your body is somehow enhancing itself in response to your interactions here. To put it bluntly, your body is making you better at sex.”
