Dr Green Gives Simon a Call

I woke up the next day with a text from Dr Green.

"Thought you might be interested in the next experiments I intend to conduct this afternoon. Be here at 2 if you can."

I smiled. I felt lonely, far from Sam. A single day without the creature, and I was struggling to cope. This was so weird.

I quickly showered, changed into shorts and a T-shirt, got myself something to eat, and chilled until it was time to head to the university.

When I arrived, Lauren was waiting for me in front of her lab. Her appearance was clearly different than last time, and her clothes were more revealing.

Her lab coat had a few more open buttons, and her cleavage was prominently displayed.

Was she wearing a push-up? I wondered. I felt like her breasts were slightly bigger. They had some stretch marks I had not noticed before.

She had also applied some discrete makeup and lipstick and got a new haircut.

When she noticed me, she smiled warmly, and I felt a tint of lust in her eyes. It definitely was unexpected, given her prior stern behavior.

"Hello, young man," she said with a sultry tone. "I am glad you could make it."

And with that, she wrapped her arms around me and kissed me passionately.

We broke apart, and I laughed nervously.

"W-what's with the new look and attitude, doc?" I stammered.

"Do you like it?" she asked with a smile. "I am experimenting with a variety of ways to seduce you effectively."

"It is certainly working, doctor," I admitted.

"Good!" She exclaimed. "Sam and I thought it was important for me to be a little more enthusiastic about pleasing you."

"And who am I talking to right now?" I asked, looking at Dr Green's forehead like I could see through it.

"Oh, just good old boring Lauren, I'm afraid. No Sam inside of me at this time," she replied.

"Not so boring anymore," I smirked.

She blushed.

"Oh! Really? Do you think so!" She beamed. "Well, then, I'll try to live up to that expectation!"

She grabbed me again and pulled me against her body, grinding her pelvis against mine.

"I haven't felt this way since I was a teenager. I'm constantly aroused and thinking about you doing naughty things to me," she whispered.

She leaned closer to my ear and started to nibble on it gently with her teeth. Then, she softly licked my neck with her tongue.

"Doc..." I pleaded. "What about your experiment?"

Lauren backed off and gave me an adorable pouty face.

"I apologize! We might have gone a bit overboard with this part of my programming.," she said with an apologetic expression. "But we are going to have fun regardless, aren't we?"

She put her hand between my legs, and I jumped a bit when she touched me there.

"Of course," I gulped.

"Glad to hear it!" She exclaimed. "Now let's get to work!"

With that, Lauren led me along a few of the university's corridors and into a small room.

A computer, three monitors, a pair of speakers, and a microphone rested on a desk.

One of the monitors was displaying a high-resolution live feed of another room. In it, a young woman was sitting in a chair before a desk. On the desk was a tiny opaque tube.

"Hello?" The girl's voice said through the speaker. "Anyone?"

"She has been alone in here for a while now." Dr Green explained. "We should get started."

With that, she sat in front of the microphone and spoke into it.

"Sorry about that, Iris," she said. "We're ready to start when you are."

She clicked on the recording interface, and another live window opened on a second monitor. It was a closeup of the girl's face.

She was Asian, probably in her early twenties, if not younger. She was pretty hot, I had to admit. She looked like your typical popular girl: long silky hair, nice curves, and the proper outfit to highlight it: a tight skirt, short top, and low heels.

"Yeah... About that." The girl replied. "What do you want me to do again?"

"It is a blind experiment," Lauren explained. I'll guide you through it step by step, alright?"

The girl nodded but looked uneasy.

"And I'm gonna be paid, right?"

"Of course," Lauren confirmed. "You will receive 200 dollars after today's session."

"What is going on here?" I asked.

Dr Green looked up at me with wide eyes.

"Oops. Carried away once more!" She giggled. "I would like to see how the intellectual abilities of hosts can limit Sam once inside them. I compiled a list of the students with the lowest grades and selected the ones with the worst reputations from their teachers. Iris here is a perfect specimen. I don't even know how she got admitted to this university."

I nodded, still a bit confused.

"There is more to it as well." Dr Green added. "That's why I thought your presence would be beneficial."

I nodded again, but something was bugging me.

"How many students were on your list before you chose her?" I asked.

"Twenty-four."

"How many were super hot girls?"

Lauren grinned.

"How perceptive of you, Simon," she smirked. "I admit I thought you would enjoy the experiment a bit more if the subject was to your liking."

"Hellooo??" Iris called, getting agitated.

"Let's continue, shall we?" Lauren suggested, turning back to the microphone. "Iris. There is a tube on the desk. I would like you to grab it carefully and move it close to your ear."

The girl did as she was told and froze, waiting for more instructions.

"Now what?"

"There is a little button on the side of the tube; I'd like you to keep looking straight ahead and find it only with your touch."

"I think I found it," Iris confirmed.

"Good, " Dr. Green said. Now, make sure you keep the tube oriented toward your ear and press it."

As Iris did so, I saw Sam jumping from the plastic cylinder right onto Iris' ear.

The girl fell from her chair and started screaming.

After a few seconds, she let herself drop slowly on the floor and turned motionless.

As expected, she soon opened her eyes, looking around with utter confusion.

"What the fuck!!" She screamed, touching the blood that had dripped from her ear. "What the fuck did you do to me?!"

Lauren remained silent, looking intently at the screen.

Iris stood up and walked toward the door, trying to open it, but it was locked.

"What..." Iris mumbled, her gaze wandering around the room before settling on her hands. She looked at them for a moment, her mouth agape.

"Do you know what you are?" Dr Green asked her.

The girl looked up at the camera and then back at her hands.

"What... I mean... What's going on?" she stammered.

Dr Green started typing notes.

"I... I feel like I was smarter before." Iris said.

"Well, that's an understatement," Lauren whispered with a smirk.

"I was different... I think." Iris continued. "But I don't remember."

"Who are you?" Lauren asked her.

The girl frowned.

"Who the fuck do you think I am!? You asked me to come here for your stupid science test or whatever it is!"

"She did not see Sam and does not have the deduction capabilities required to conclude that she is not herself." Remarked Dr Green. "Interesting."

She pressed the microphone button and said: "You are not Iris, you are inside Iris. Do you understand?"

The girl nodded silently, her gaze fixed on her own body.

"I'm not Iris?" she repeated. "But I remember... I mean... I'm me. I don't understand."

But after a moment, looking around blankly, the girl seemed to realize her situation, and her eyes widened.

"I'm not Iris," she affirmed. "Who am I?"

Dr Green clicked on a button, and an image of Sam was projected on the wall in front of the girl.

"This is what you are," Lauren explained.

The girl stared in shock at the image.

"Eww!" She exclaimed. "I'm disgusting!"

She moved closer to the wall and touched it, looking fascinated.

"So... I'm like...a slug... I'm in Iris..." she mumbled and shook her head out of frustration. "I'm so fucking dumb! It's so hard to think."

"Could you make her smarter?" Dr Lauren asked without taking her eyes off the monitor.

I froze. Could Sam do that? Make someone smarter?

The girl grabbed the chair behind her and sat down. She remained still for a moment.

"I don't know how to do that..." she finally answered with a sigh. "I can feel the thoughts, but it's confusing."

"Alright, " Dr. Green said. "Let's focus on something else. Can you tell me what your purpose is?"

"My purpose?" The girl tilted her head in puzzlement. "Wait! I should know that!"

She seemed to struggle with it.

"I think I'm supposed to do something for someone," she said after a moment. "But I don't know who."

Dr Green changed the image displayed on the wall to a picture of me. It appeared to have been taken directly from my Facebook profile.

"Sorry," Lauren whispered. "I might have stalked you online a bit."

"Who's that?" Iris asked.

"What does come into your mind when you look at him?"

"I dunno..." she mumbled. "It's just a weird dude."

I gritted my teeth. Ouch!

"It's Simon. The person you are supposed to serve." Dr Green informed her.

Iris shrugged.

"I don't know him," she said.

"Simon?" Lauren called. "Could you join her in the room? On your right, you follow the corridor, room 325. Here's the key."

I took it from her, unsure what she was expecting me to do, and went to find Iris.

As I unlocked the door, the girl looked up, startled.

I entered the room, closed the door, and locked it again.

"Wait!" She exclaimed. "You're the weird dude from the photo."

I nodded.

She smiled.

"I remember now," she said. "I can feel it."

"Good," I replied.

"I'm tired," she added, placing a hand on her forehead. "My brain feels like mush. I don't like it here."

"Simon, listen," Dr Green's voice said through the speakers on the wall. "You need to make sure that Iris is appropriately reprogrammed before Sam leaves her. We don't want any trouble."

"Wait!" I exclaimed. "Like how? Ask Sam to erase her memories of it? It barely understands what's going on!"

"I can't make me smarter, but I can feel the thoughts," Iris said, looking up. "Do you wanna change the thoughts?"

I stared at her.

"What can you change?" I asked.

"I dunno... What do you wanna change?"

My eyes followed the curves of her body. Damn, was she hot!

I needed to find something simple that Sam could do that would ensure her compliance.

"Alright," I said. "Could you make it so Iris always agrees with me?"

She looked at me with wide eyes for a second, but then she frowned with a disgusted look.

"Sorry," she said, relaxing and giggling. "I...Iris didn't like that. But yeah... I think I can do that."

She seemed lost in her thoughts for a moment.

"I did it!" She beamed. "Now, can I leave? I'm suuuuper tired!"

I nodded.

Iris' head dropped back, and I noticed Sam slowly crawling out of her ear. I grabbed the tube on the floor and caught the slug before gently closing the lid.

Iris groaned and then looked around with a horrified expression. She seemed like she was about to scream.

"It's no big deal, right?" I muttered, crossing my fingers.

The girl instantly relaxed.

"Whatever..." she sighed. "When am I gonna be paid?"

"You don't care about the money," I explained. "You are simply happy to help us with our little experiments."

She smiled and got up.

"I am!" She beamed.

"You're not gonna say a thing about what happened here to anyone else."

"Of course not!" She confirmed with a solemn expression.

I stared at her. I was rock hard. I could say anything and she would always agree.

"You should..." I mumbled. "You should suck my..."

I froze. Could I really do that?

"Oh, common, young man!" Dr Green said behind me. She had entered the room and quickly grabbed the tube from my hand. "What is the point of being shy? Everyone in this room, humans and slug, would gladly do anything you want. It might be time to come to terms with your newfound situation, don't you think?"

I breathed heavily and nodded.

Anything I want, right?

"No!" I exclaimed, rubbing my temples.

Both girls turned toward me in surprise.

"I just need some time to think about the situation," I sighed.

"Very well," Lauren replied with a frown. "I'm sorry. I did not mean to upset you."

I shook my head and turned toward Iris.

"I think it would be best for you to give me your number," I said.

The girl nodded and, after unlocking her phone, gave me her phone back. I quickly created a new contact with my name and gave her the device back.

"You should go now, and obviously, there is no point telling anyone about what happened here. No one would believe you anyway," I warned her.

"Yeah... They'd think I'm crazy..." she agreed.

She quickly grabbed her stuff and left the room.

I turned toward Dr Green.

"You!" I exclaimed. "We need to talk."
