The hospital at Oasis had a shower room which had been hastily converted into a decontamination area. Two shapely doctors in gas masks and skintight latex hazmat suits entered the shower room pushing Adam in front of them.
He now wore a latex hazmat suit himself—tailored slightly differently from theirs, but just as form-fitting. The latex doctors had forced him to put on the suit before they'd brought him here.
The gas mask was uncomfortable, designed to fit tightly against the latex hood that gripped his head. The suit had been somehow made from a single piece of latex with only a single opening for his face and a single zipper extending from the small of his back to just under his scrotum. The latex was tough, flexible, and mostly opaque except at key stretch points which made him reluctant to do any serious reaching or bending.
Not that he had much choice. The doctors had handled him roughly on the journey back to the hospital. They had explained nothing to him except the urgency of his immediate quarantine.
"I still don't understand," he complained. "What's this all about?"
"We're decontaminating," said the doctor through her mask. "You should have told us Bitch Helga was experimenting on you."
With their suits still on, the doctors in white latex lathered each other thoroughly, giving intimate attention to every curve and crevice of their bodysuits, making sure that each part of the suits were sanitized and free of faults. As he watched, Adam had to admire their attention to detail—and the tailor who had made the suits so functional yet so flattering.
Then the doctors turned the same attention to him, unsatisfied that he could perform such a demanding task for himself. They were particularly concerned with the parts of his body that were likely to secrete moisture, inspecting those regions of his bodysuit carefully for punctures or tears which might put them at risk.
They lathered. They rinsed. They repeated.
They toweled off each other, then him. After a while, he suspected they were enjoying the activity, but through their masks, he couldn't tell.
When they were dry, the women stripped to the nude in front of him. The women were even more beautiful when unclothed, although they looked a bit sweaty from the activity.
They instructed him to leave his gas mask and suit on.
They led him back to his hospital room and locked him inside. An orderly brought him lunch, but she instructed him not to remove his mask to eat it until after she had left room.
Two hours passed with no explanation. Finally the orderly returned and asked him to accompany her. He asked if he could loosen the straps on his mask, only a little bit—but this only agitated her.
He was led to the lounge where he found Highmother and one of his doctors sitting around a coffee table and talking about him.
Highmother seemed a bit embarrassed.
"Please accept our apologies for the way you've been treated. Especially for the way I treated you. We were forced to place you in quarantine until we could assess the severity of your condition."
The doctor now wore a lab coat over a short leather minidress. Adam suspected she had been one of the latex doctors who had dragged Highmother away, but he hadn't seen their faces then, so he couldn't be certain. She stared at him angrily and pointed at the chair in which she intended him to sit. The moment he did, the doctor leveled an accusation at him.
"How long have you known that you're irresistible to women?"
Few men, if any, have ever been prepared for such a question. He stared back at her for several seconds before he realized she couldn't see his expression of disbelief through his mask.
"Me?"
"Don't be coy," said the doctor. "You are producing pheromones at thirty times the normal rate, and those pheromones are bonded to some kind of empathy-dampening agent that compels women to take advantage of you. You must have known this."
It was alarming to hear this out loud, yet he wasn't surprised. It confirmed a theory he'd had for some time.
"Eve said it was a side effect of being on the island."
"That doesn't explain the physical changes," insisted the doctor. "There's something in your blood we can't identify that's rewriting your DNA—toning your muscles, enhancing your anatomy."
Highmother added, "The island increases people's libido, but it's never caused the changes we've seen in you. To our knowledge, only Helga's 'boy toys' have ever had such symptoms."
The doctor continued, "Women around you are not just
aroused
. Those with a prolonged exposure have their desire to dominate stimulated until they're incapable of mercy. Considering where we found you, I can't explain how you're still alive."
At this point, Emily entered the room sleekly dressed in a black turtleneck sweater and a miniskirt. She carried a mass of papers which she dramatically plopped onto the table.
"Here's the intel we have on the boy toy serum." When Emily realized who it was behind the mask and latex, she smiled and twirled her hair like a school girl. "Hello, Adam! Your hazmat suit flatters you!"
"Don't encourage him," warned the doctor with disgust. "You're still afflicted."
Emily pouted at the doctor before opening the file.
"After the fiasco with her boy toys, Helga continued her experiments. As far as we know, everyone who took the serum . . ." She paused and looked at Adam. "Are you sure we want him to hear this?"
"He has the right to know everything," insisted Highmother.
She continued more cautiously.
"Everyone who took the serum . . . died. Not from the serum. From abuse. At the hands of others. Most in kinky sex play engineered by Helga herself, suggesting that she's not immune to the influence of her own tests."
"The boy toys?" asked Highmother.
"They were the first, but not the last," said Emily. "She kept some of her victims isolated so that she couldn't be tempted to abuse them, but in her absence, they each went insane."
"That proves my theory," said the doctor. "Adam is insane."
"I think I want a second opinion," said Adam. "And I'm
not
a test subject."
"Clearly, he is," insisted the doctor. "Nothing else can explain such changes in his anatomy. His cock is enormous."
Emily giggled, but a glare from the doctor quickly silenced her.
The glare turned toward Adam. "When did you first notice the physical change?"
"Almost right away," admitted Adam. "Eve said it was nothing to worry about."
"She would," said the doctor with disgust. "Are you sure Bitch Helga never injected you with anything while you were on the island?"
"Not on the island, no."
"According to the intel," added Emily, "Helga was also working on a topical solution."
"How about it?" demanded the doctor. "Did she put any creams or lotions on you?"
