Chapter 47 - The Kush Club
“Success!” Omid shouted as he finished his greatest work yet.

He had completed it. Finally completed it. No longer would he be stuck in a wheelchair. He had finished building his exoskeleton leg braces that would now grant him the ability to walk again, although with some restriction to his movement.

“What are those?” Prometheus asked as he sat up from his bed and took a sip of water.

“My new legs.” Omid told him as he stood for the first time in over a year.

It was a great feeling being able to stand again. He then began pacing back and forth in the room, testing out what kind of mobility he would have. It wasn't too bad. At max speed he could go a little faster than a normal walking speed. Prometheus smiled at him and laughed a some as he watched him prance about.

“I can’t imagine what you must be feeling right now gaining the ability to do something you lost.” He told him.

“And I can’t imagine what it must feel like not being able to die.” He said continuing to walk around the room like a small child on a sugar rush.

Prometheus glanced at the notes and research on Omid’s desk. “Speaking of that, have you found the reason for it yet?”

“Yes, actually.” Omid said as he walked back to his desk. “I was waiting for you to wake up to tell you but here it is.” He handed Prometheus some of his research.

He watched as his unkillable friend scanned over the documents. “Promesium? What’s that?”

“It’s what I named the chemical compound I found in your blood after analyzing it. It’s also the entire reason you come back after dying. This chemical activates and begins to repair you from the inside out.”

Prometheus’ face remained neutral. “How did I get this chemical inside of me? Where does it come from?”

“Where does it come from? I can’t say for sure. This is a newly discovered chemical here so I can’t exactly look up where it can be found. And as for how it got inside of you--It was HavenCorp. My best guess is that they put this promesium inside of you to have a test subject for diseases. I figured they would test out different viruses and infections and diseases to see how it affected you. Since you can come back from anything, they used as a guinea pig that would never run out of usefulness.”

Prometheus sat there for a moment and continued to read the research. Omid had a difficult time discerning how he was processing the news. “Didn’t you say that Mister Unknown told you and Jane that they were using me to make the zombie infection or whatever it is stronger.

Omid nodded. “Yeah. Sam used your blood to create the virus. Made it near impossible to cure.”

His friend’s head shot up on hearing those words. Omid only smiled in response. He knew that it would catch his attention.

“You mean…?” Prometheus trailed off as he stood up.

Omid nodded once more. “I found the cure to the virus.”
