Take an experimental mind improving .

I sat with the first and last batch of Cog-Plus in front of me, the experimental anti-alzheimer's **** we had been developing before finance was pulled meaning it would never be mass produced. Too risky was the verdict by the management.

But I had seen the potential in it, not just to avoid decay, but to actively improve mental faculties. There couldn't be any harm in it! I had spent a year developing it and I damn well wasn't going to flush it down the John without it being tested on someone at least, so in the tradition of all great scientists going back as far as the great Dr Henry Jekyll, I raised the beaker to my lips and knocked the whole contents back in one.

Huh!

Actually tasted quite sweet.

I didn't feel any different. Fuck. It was a dud after all. Oh well. I washed up, tidied the lab and got ready to go. Maybe I wasn't going to be Captain America after getting the Super soldier serum after all.

On the way out, Dr Watson, an ordinarily prim and reserved lab chemist in her early thirties was backing out of her office in a hurry, trying to stuff some papers in a bag "Shit! I'm going to be late. I'll never make the train. Fuck! Its that prick's turn to pick up the kids too. He better get them! I'll fucking kill him if he doesn't."

I pretended I hadn't heard her foul mouthed rant. In all the time I've been here, I'd never heard her swear. Actually, I had barely heard her speak. She must not have realized I was there. I cleared my throat.

"Uh Hi Doc!"

She turned to look at me and smiled "Oh Hi John", then looked about her. "Fuck! Where are my keys? I don't have time for this shit!"

"Behind you - on the desk".

She looked at me uncomprehendingly.

"Your keys" I said as if to a stranger.

"Oh. Thanks! I'm in too much of a hurry!" she said with a smile and grabbed them, dropping a buff folder as she did. "Shit!" she screamed, then bent over to get it. I took the opportunity to check out her ass before I realised, her lips hadn't moved when she cursed.

Holy Fuck!!!! I screamed inside. I had just heard her thought. I was sure of it.

"Pardon me John"?, she turned to look at me shocked.

Shit. I thought, wondering what was wrong, then realized she had heard my expletive. I looked at her carefully. She looked at me. Neither of us said anything, then warily she got her stuff together again and headed towards the door.

"Come back", I thought mentally at her. She ignored me and pulled the door towards her.

Fuck it wasn't working. Annoyed I turned up the volume in my head to the mental scream I had used before and shouted. "Get back here just now!!!"

Dr Watson released the door and turned back towards me, took two steps and stopped straight in front of me.

"Kiss me goodnight!!!" I screamed at her in the same mental tone.

She reached up with a smile and kissed me briefly on the lips, then turned and ran with her bags in her hand leaving me watching the door bewildered, listening to the clutter of her thoughts as she retreated, not once giving any thought to the unusual behavior or the kiss!

Shit! I was a mind-reader. I could send thoughts to people, well, at least to Dr Watson. My scientific curiosity was raised. So too was my libido after that brief kiss with Dr Watson. I shouted after her. "Come back and suck my dick Doc!!!" in my head, but it was too late. She was gone and it seemed like there was a distance limit to this thing. Damn!
