No Good Deed Chapter 4: Rude Awakenings
#4 of No Good Deed
Ronan gets an introduction to her new body
"Well in all my years I never..." My tail started wagging before I consciously recognized miz Rabuka's voice. I blushed a bit knowing what she must be seeing; Dr. Bernard was snoring softly behind me, one arm draped over my stomach as he was lying on the couch behind me.. The droning sound of a buzz saw just over the wagging tail indicated that nurse Lilly had also fallen asleep. A shuffling of papers meant that Dr. Ockerman was getting up from behind the desk, and a slight buzzing sound told me he was stepping through my brain... well one of the images of it anyway.
Miz Rabuka closed the "sound proof" door before bursting out in laughter.. I opened one eye up long enough to smirk at the wolf ear shaped logo advertising its effectiveness for Kin before it drooped back down. They always forgot to reinforce the wall along with the door when they installed those.
"Dermatology is looking for their missing Emitters. I don't suppose you just walked over them?" I could hear her hands on her hips from here. It was nice to listen to someone else be in trouble with for a change.
"he must have done that before I got here. And really why does dermatology need those anyway?
"And when did he find time to void the warranty on our bath tub?
"I ah.. just found out about that and was about to send you a memmo. I have it here somewhere...." *shuffling papers* "He assures me it's only the voice and display options. The core A.I. wasn't touched. I think he has a certification for that from 03 though..."
"Don't worry about that. The old patient is our priority. How did the new protocols work for your last two patients? I want to know what to expect when he gets out of the vat.
"Amazingly well with both Vulpes. Unbelievably so with with Rona. I thought the notes were exaggerating at self regulation epigenics but if anything they underestimated the conformity. They fit like a glove. Hardly had to make any adjustments with our first patient, and none with Rona.
"None?
"None. Well, except the XY substitution of course. They're definitely from off world, definitely somewhere with a digitigrade breed. Probably the same Reynard line as Rona. The Garm line of your other patient is closer to the Reynard line than your standard Vulpes and the protocol worked beautifully for both. With a little help"
"Good. I wanted a chance to cuddle the last fox kit we got through here but was up to my elbows in extra crispy wolf. Is she awake yet?
"Probably. I didn't see her tail wag all last night but it started up as soon as you came in.
Said damned, traitorous tail was thumping against my nurse but didn't appear to be in any danger of interrupting her snoring as the pair came into the room. Dr. Bernard on the other hand rubbed his eyes and immediately started to squirm a bit, hurriedly whispering "quick.. can you take her?" and pushing me out towards miz Rabuka a bit. I felt her thin but surprisingly strong fingers effortlessly hold me under my arms, lifting and turning me. One hand went under my warm, damp, squishy rump, pressing the sodden padding against my bottom as Dr Bernard brushed his head on my tail in his haste to get to the door. "We're going to talk about the emitters..... and why my nurse who wasn't supposed to be in until noon seems to be exhausted" she said in a too sweet, sing song voice that had the poor doctor scrambling through his makeshift frames even faster, legs pressed together "Yes ma'am.. just.. after.. bathroom..."
My paws made a rather poor barrier to the girlish giggle I couldn't suppress. The alabaster skinned woman holding me looked down "Oh.. so you were awake you little sneak" She plopped a nipple in my muzzle, and unlike with miss Lily's offer there was no chance to refuse, no matter who was watching. I felt cool, sweet juice who's only flavor could be described as purple rather than grape pour over my tongue and down my throat before I realized I was suckling on it.
She sat down, forming a very comfortable seat for me in her lap. Unfortunately She'd turned me to Dr. Ockerman. "While not nearly as fancy as Dr Bernards presentation, there's a few things you should go over about, well. you. If you can behave yourself" he reached into his pocket and took out a small orb and expanded it by spreading his fingers out "You can ask any questions. I would suggest leaving the sphere that size and using your entire paw rather than trying your fingers. Don't worry about typos, the computer has an extensive database of them at this point.
I bristled my tail a little, but miss Rabuka shifted the bottle a bit "I'm sure she'll behave. Sweetie can we put a reader on you for this?" I tucked my tail a bit and carefully hit the Y on the floating blue sphere, and felt the little kitten magnet being stuck to my forehead before i could press the e. .
"We performed an age regression and XY substitution therapy. Most of your body was brought down to the age of 4 and then aging was sped up until biological 8. Certain areas that required more alteration were brought down to natal or prenatal conditions, and your skull and brain as Dr. Bernard already went over weren't brought down as far.
My tail bristled a bit when he mentioned what had been done to my malehood, but Miss Rabuka taking the ball away for a few moments till I calmed down stopped me from telling him what I had to say to THAT. Growls are far less effective when given through the nipple of the bottle you're drinking, but I tried anyway.
"If we hadn't someone else would have. And they probably wouldn't have let you keep those teeth you're thinking about using on me" he tapped the screen he was holding up and it shifted to an x ray of my skull. "you'll see you're back to your milk teeth, and there's no adult teeth waiting to come in. It's completely filled in up there. Right after you turn 18 in about 24 years you can go to any doctor that treats kin and get another set to grow in. One visit for the dna, two weeks to wait , and then one injection per tooth.
"Dr. Ockerman had to do a lot of paperwork with the review board to let you have even the baby teeth. As a carnivore it not good for you to have completely digested meat all the time, unlike the poor rats who can get by on mashed fruit. They'll defang or declaw those poor things for looking at a human funny. You really should thank him....
The sphere was thrust back into my grip and the now empty bottle taken out. I grumbled a little, considering the more than obvious prodding for a moment. It was the male Doctor who of all people objected.
" His anger is more than understandable. I'm willing to forgo a less than sincere apology, since i have at least two of my own to make. The first is for the obvious, the second..." his tablet shifted to a girls reproductive tract and bladder.. probably mine. I blushed more than a little and tried to tuck my tail between my legs, despite the shirt, padding, and fur doing a more than thorough job of covering it already.
"We used a... new genetic protocol when we regressed you. Everything is working fine though but there's a few unforeseen occurrences...
New proto... I yelped a little and Ignored the advice about typing with my entire paw. My fingers didn't seem to remember where anything on the sphere was and hit all the wrong letters, making me growl in frustration. Miss Rabuka gently but firmly took the ball away from me, despite my protests, and pet my ears for a few moments until i calmed down. "Whole paw sweetie"
I very carefully typed out -you experimented on me??-
"Not exactly. You're the third. Second we've gotten out of the vat though. The first reconstruction was... extensive. The first was... I can't break Doctor patient confidentiality, but you don't know anyone that got regressed lately do you?
I huffed a little at the stereotype, but made my tail brush up a bit more than I felt -Vulpes don't all know each other-.
"Oh. Ah I uhm. Of course. I didn't mean to imply that it's just that ahh. No. Given the choice between the three of you we would have used you as the guinea pig. Most severe crime and all that. You are the first XY substitution though, which may be why some of your organs aren't as developed as we would like
"Dr Ockerman!" Dr Rabuka objected as she put a small slice of salami into my muzzle and put a finger to my lips. "Chew and swallow, no fussing or I take the ball"
I grumbled, but I did it while chewing. I didn't need this stuff. I was doing fine.
-It's fine. Like the honesty. New. Where Gene?-
"We had some of your father's DNA on file, and used a random selection for the missing X. You're as much your parents child as you ever were. " I felt Miss Rabuka giving a thumbs up at that, whether to me or the doctor i wasn't sure.
-How old am I?-
"Your current height is 36 inches, that would put you around age six according to your medical records. It's a little off because your heads bigger, but ah well. you probably don't care too much for the reproductive tract, but ahh I mentioned that apology I owed you before? The bladder and bladder muscles are a good bit younger. This happens sometimes even in normal development, sometimes in regression, sometimes in an XY substitution. We won't know if the new protocols are responsible unless we run through a few more of them...
I felt a slight chill as I let that sink in. A few days of sodden padding was one thing but how long was that going to last? It wasn't bad enough that I had to be little, not only was my malehood taken from me and these girl parts put in, but they didn't even WORK!? My lips started quivering. I was being hugged from behind and my ears were being pet, a soothing warmth flowing through me, but I couldn't stop my eyes from watering or a piteous whining sound coming out of my muzzle as I started to bawl "Nononono it's not faaair" I shouted as I kicked, or tried to. I felt my muscles going slack, wrapped in the warm embrace of the Spacers hug as she rocked me back and forth a little.
"Gooood girl. Let it aaaaaal out. It's ok to be upset. You can cry, you can kick,you're allowed to be upset as you want"
Another nipple was plopped into my muzzle and I sucked, but nothing came out. I sucked harder and relaxed, suckled and relaxed, but nothing came out. The crying, kicking and yelling quickly tired me out, leaving me feeling so drained, blank, empty and numb that when a new wave of warmth rushed in between my legs I just flattened my ears and slumped against the doctor holding me, feeling my limbs grow heavy and pleasantly tingly.
"Gooood girl. See? Not so bad is it? Shh sshhh shhh. nice and safe"
She held me over her shoulder like that for a while. I didn't fall asleep but I did feel myself spacing out a little. I wasn't sure if it was five minutes or an hour later when Dr Bernard stuck his head in the door and started to creep over.
"Well there you are. I was hoping for a demonstration of some of these tricks Dr. Occermans been so worried about.
The pint sized pediatrician hopped up on the couch "I think you've already seen some of them. How'd she take the news?"
"Much better than expected. Only needed a little bit of help. It's not everyone that's smart enough to get more upset at the changes to their brain than their body. She seems to have adjusted to her.. situation rather quickly" she said, giving my ears a bit of a ruffle and my bottom a rather squishy pat.. "I'm not sure we should continue though, especially with the last two parts.
"Well, you've already got the reader on her. How about we play it by ear?" He produced his pocket watch, spread a little butter scented oil on it. I turned my head a bit , pillowing my cheek on miz Rabuka's chest while I watched the golden metal disk go baaack and forth, baaack and forth. My tail started swaying lightly in time to the watch, and i barely noticed that my head was as well, as much as the impromptu pillow allowed.
"That's very good Rona. Nice and steady and focused. So very relaxed. Watch the watch. Smell the nice, buttery scent of the popcorn, breathe iiiiin. Hold. And out nice and slow. Very good. A nice, relaaaxed obedient state. Listen , and relaax and obey. We talked about this remember? You want me to help you focus, concentrate, and relaaaaax. See. Nothing to worry about, we're just having a nice little chat. Feel all that stress and fussiness just drain right out of you, feeling sooo nice, and relaxed, and obedient. Can I pet your ears? "
They were my ears, but he was looking at miz Rabuka when he asked. For my part i leaned forward eagerly, murrring as I was shifted a little closer to him and wagging my tail. I felt his little hand spreading my black tipped, stiffly furred ears out and cooooed as my body melted under their touch, a warmth, physical pleasure, sense of safety and contentment percolating through my brain down to my body. I melted into a veritable puddle and slumped in between the pair, tail flicking slightly.
I was vaguely aware of the little doctor shuffling closer to look at a screen in Miz Rabukas hands, and heard her foot tapping. "Okay... I MAY have overdone that just a little. The emotional pleasure of being pet is feeding into the physical pleasure and... there's a bit of a feedback loop. I was expecting it to have to overcome some resistance, not have her quite so elated at being a blt to be touched.Honestly, you're getting mad at me for being too good!"
"Rona, I want you to pay attention when we're talking to you, but just drift off and relaaaax when the grown ups are talking to each other ok?" I nodded a little, and didn't resist when he took my paw by the wrist and gently started prodding me. "Close your eyes, relaaax, tap your left foot each time I touch you" I fell into a pleasant, half awake doze, concentrating on the pretty green lights shining on his gold framed glasses. My left foot taped in a slow, decreasing rhythm "I'm going to test your Denner reflex now, this is going to feel a little funny." he folded my fingers back into a paw, and my thumb twitched up and out of the way of the pawpads the way it did when I was set to run on all fours. "That's a good girl Rona"
My tail became a blur behind me, crinkle squishing back and forth rapidly. "Okay, I definitely overdid that trigger. I was expecting a lot more resistance but she seems to like....
His voice blurred out into a pleasant cadence of psychobabble as I happily sank against them. I tried to put my thumb in my muzzle but the pacifier was already there so I sucked on the semi squishy nipple while he stroked my tail. The pressure of his hand on my head barely registered but the command to lie on my belly filled my ears. I wagged my tail and dreamily sat with my head on his knee while he slipped something into one of my ears, then the other, and twirled a finger and told me to roll on my back. I was told to hold my leg still, but three rubs from his hand on the soft white fur of my belly had it twitching like crazy. Drs Bernard and Rabuka leaned over me, beaming down with smiling faces and cooed at me. I murred a bit and enjoyed the slightly tickly sensation of the doctors pressing here and there, with Dr. Bernard moving the stethoscope over my chest and belly through the thick fur and just a little bit of cubfat. "Awww.. No sign of that gunk, Good. I want to sit you on the floor for a bit to see how you move ok?"
Sitting on the thickly carpeted floor, looking up at the enormous forms sitting so very high above me should have been scary. The pair looking down at me seemed so sure and happy to see me behaving, heaping praise on me for every little thing that I did. Touching my nose, flattening my ears, sticking my tongue out, turning in a circle, all got their smiling approval and gentle pets. They were going to take care of everything. Miss Rabuka radiated a calm, unflappable assurance that everything would be alright, and even the "eight" year old doctor looked big and mature from down here.
"Let's try standing on two legs.Try but stop if it gets too hard ok?" and took me by the paw, omfing a little as he helped me rise unsteadily onto my back paws, then slowly back down. "That's more a little behind the milestones.... Rona, I left your teddy bear by the door on the way in, Could you go get it for me?
I nodded and turned, slowly walking on all fours. I blushed a bit as I felt the warm, heavy padding between my legs flop back and forth, pulling heavily on my tail as i made my way over the carpet. Dr Bernard was giggling uncontrollably, and even Miss Rabuka's shoulders were shaking a little as I carefully picked the bear up around its middle in my mouth and walked back, happy to hand it back to the doctor in exchange for a pet to the ears. My limbs were shaking a bit, but it felt good to walk with them, even a little.
"Well.. we need to take those off for the next part anyway. She drank the dye right?" He got off the couch and put a paw on my rump, putting a butter scented hand on my nose and petting up over my eyes, the other gently putting a little pressure on my rump "remember, niiiice and saaafe. and relaaaxed. Just listen and relax squat down"
The command took me by surprise, but so did my obedience. I hadn't thought about squatting down, i just was. I whimpered a little as I felt a now familiar trickle of warmth between my legs, but only for a moment or two.
"Good girl. See? No big deal. " I felt happily warm and fuzzy as he called me that, and got my ears pet for a few luxurious, wonderful minutes, nodding along. What was no big deal. There was something... maybe it was Nurse Lilly waking up and blushing shyly under Miss Rabuka's icy stare
"Sorry Ma'm, not used to these eight hour shifts.
"Get the patient undressed and then get some coffee. We may need you awake for the second part" she hmmmed and looked between me and the datapad. The nurse stood and bent over to slip her hand into the waistband of my diaper then deftly tugged it twice to drop the wet padding to the ground and then slid it off my tail. I put my paws over my muzzle in embarrassment, but without the slightest pause she took some wipes,turn me about, lifted my tail and wiped me thoroughly front to back.
A small hand turned my head gently to face Dr Bernard. He took a white plastic pad from under the couch and unfolded it and told me to "Lie down on your belly and relax" Once I'd done so he started petting me from neck to tail, humming quietly "We need to take a look under your tail. It's going to feel a little funny, but I promise it won't hurt at all. It might help you potty train faster too. It's no big deal, you probably had your temperature taken this way the first time you were little.
He was scratching my chin, nodding my head up and down My ears warmed up and I could feel myself blushing, but I raised my tail up and to the side. "Goood foxy" he told me and dabbed a little warm gel under my rump. Nurse Lily sat on the floor near my head, gently stroking my ears and slipped something warm and fuzzy into my paws, which I gripped onto thankfully.
"Relax.Breath iiiiiin and out. iiiiin....and out" and the slim probe went in smoothly with an oddly pleasant sensation. I murrred a little into the pacifier while my back was rubbed, making my shoulders, arms and legs go pleasantly limp.. The device was turned on, sending a very low hum through me, and i cooed hard enough to lose the nipple in my mouth. "There we go. A nice, soft, gentle hum. " he placed one hand just above my tail and made a slight shift to the device and I couldn't help but wiggle my feet a little. Apparently it was a moot point wondering if they could detect pleasure centers activating with the reader.
"Aaand done" Dr. Bernard announced, pulling the probe out with a little pop. Lily covered me with a blanket, which i quickly curled up in, hiding my entire form under it's fluffy protection. The grown ups gathered around and talked quietly. Well quietly for humans. While I got a blissful few minutes alone, breathing in the scent of the blanket, the complex plastic , oil and powder scent of the mat i was lying on, and all the foot traffic on the carpet. And the scent of sausage getting closer....
"Hey sweetie, can I come in?" Nurse Lilly sat on the floor, lifted the blanket up and found me prepared with a tail over my face. "We thought you should know everything looks ok. back there. All the nerves up front look connected, but we'd like to see if your brain is getting the signal. We've got one more test to do, and I have to warn you it's going to be more embarrassing than the last one. If you want, we can call it quits for today and do it tomorrow instead. Or we can get it out of the way now, and you can pick what what you want to do tomorrow afternoon, and the doctors can help out someone else that needs them.
I poked my head out from under my tail, thinking about the "Crispy wolf" they had to deal with. Sitting around all day and dreading what was next didn't seem like much fun either, so I uncurled my tail and nodded. She picked me up and settled me into her arms as miss Rabuka got up to head out. She ruffled my ears. "Be good, this is the worst part then you're in the clear ok?" she put a piece of salami up to my muzzle. "Chew.. no fussing. If you want to be tough you can refuse the rest of them after, ok?" I huffed, but I WAS hungry, the meat was delicious, and the feeling of my arms and legs starting to relax a bit was far from unpleasant. "Give her the rest when she's done ok? As much as she wants. It's ok if she sleeps through the afternoon after" and kissed my nose. "I need to go. Behave! All of you. And get those emitters back to dermatology"
I whimpered a little and hugged the teddy bear pushed into my arms, and tried to put it down. "You need to hold onto that" the nurse said, taking a seat with my in her lap. "The doctor needs to take a look at your vagina. "I huffed and flattened my ears "Yes, you have one now, you're going to have to get used to it. You sit in my lap, I help hold you. He's going to touch you a few times. If you feel something, you squeeze the teddy bear." I saw Dr. Ockerman putting a gel on his hands and pointed to Dr Bernard. "He's too little to do that, and it's not his area of expertise."
The nurse settled me into position, spreading my legs apart. I hid my muzzle in the teddy bear and tucked my tail between my legs while Dr Ockerman moved his chair in front of me.
"Have the patient remove her tail." and nurse lilly had to reach over and pulled it over to the side, holding it along side me. The freakishly tall human took a wand... i was happy to see it wasn't the one from before and pressed it to me.
"Mons Pubis R 1." hug. "R 2." hug "R 3" hug "R 4" hug." That wasn't too different, or so i tried to tell myself, If I closed my eyes it was just like
"LM 1 Lm 2. Lm 3. Lm 4" hug hug hug....I started to hug the teddy bear then realized i hadn't felt anything. My eyes shot open and I tried to lean down to look, then I felt a cool, light touch of my skin moving around.
"I didntefee that.."
"It's perfectly fine. I needed to make sure you weren't just signaling every time i said something. " I growled a little and tried to hit him with the stuffed animal , But Lilly took a hand off my leg for a second to pin it closer to me and plopped another bit of medicated treat into my muzzle. My eyes drooped a little and the room started to waver a bit.
"...How much did you give her?"
"A lot. Kin are a little hard to dose, and most of our patients don't have teeth. Though there would be a certain irony if she slipped and..." she said in a too sweet voice.
"Point taken" Dr Ockerman closed his legs together with a wince and went back to poking and prod between my legs, working quickly with mechanical precision, despite my slowing responses. I tried to ignore the warm tingle running through me from what I hoped was the sedative,. "and the C...." In lieu of hugging the teddy bear giggled and kicked "I'll take that as a yes. V1, V2.." I squirmed a bit feeling something probing inside me into a nothingness that shouldn't have been possible and murred a little. "Aaaand done." he said, rolling the chair away to look over the results. He tapped a panel in the wall and stuck his hands in to a stream of water, washing off the rub on gloves.
Lilly held out another handful of laced meat "Honey do you nee...." and I gobbled them up with a CHOMP, then tried to curl myself into the smallest ball possible. Lily paused and flexed her fingers to see if she had them all. "Okaaay." and slipped the pacifier back into my muzzle. She unfolded an extra thick diaper, laid it down and I hopped onto it before she was done, trying to figure out how to slip my tail through the hole. " I can understand wanting to be dressed again, but this will be easier if you just let me..." and bunched my tail up a little to get it through the hole and pulled it through, then had to lift me up with an omf and finish unfolding the diaper. I whimpered a little as she pressed the padding to me, but once I was taped up and wrapped in a blanket I felt a lot safer. I was NOT hiding in the nurses arms. I was just.. getting comfortable. Behind my tail.
"Just like the general scan said the first time. Everything's connected, it's just weak and under developed. No way to know how it will play out except time. I'm sure either of you can phrase it better...and you're just itching to add some vodoo to the explanation aren't you?"
Dr. Bernard scrambled his way up onto the couch "Got to get a step stool for this thing..." and put a paw out for my ears. Nurse Lilly shook her head no, and he folded his arms over themselves pouting. I felt her hands rubbing up and down my back, through the pink t shirt and my thick fur, rocking me back and forth slowly, feeling my limbs grow pleasantly heavy, a goofy grin starting to spread out on my face, giggling when dr bernard made Os with his hands, flipped them upside down and looked through them. I tried to imitate the gesture, but my arms just hung down next to me, my legs went slack, and then my eyes started drooping shut. I felt a kiss on the snout from the pretty nurse and vaguely felt myself flying through the air, passing out into a deep, peaceful sleep well before reaching the elevator.
