Wasteland Baby: My Toddler Is My Guardian
750 Views · Ongoing · Aiden
"Congratulations. He has chosen you to carry on his bloodline." When the doctor said those words, Emily had already calculated everything: the slack in the restraint buckle, the position of the medical cart, the nearest exit. She didn't cry. She didn't beg. She grabbed a vial labeled "Forced Symbiosis Tolerance Rate: approx. 41%", drove the needle into her own abdomen, blew the lab, and ran. Seventy-one hours later she woke up. Her only ally had taken his own life. The trench was gone. And she was pregnant.
The baby came out silent. Every monitor flatlined. She called his name ten times. He didn't move. On the eleventh second, the readings began to climb — smooth, continuous, rising — like a system booting up for the very first time. She named him Adam. At four years old, Adam:
Hears radio signals two kilometers away and sees straight through walls;
Steals abilities through dead men's neural ports and stacks them. Every single one.
A corporation issues a bounty: "High neural-compatibility targets. Capture preferred. Terminate if necessary." A squad captain catches one long look at the ports running down her son's spine. Says nothing. A lead researcher submits a trembling report:
"This child's genetic index exceeds the upper limit of every scale we have. He breaks every parameter we know."
Emily chambers a round and levels the barrel at everything coming for them.
"You want my son? Touch him.I will make you regret you were ever born."
