Young Blood

by Robotgirl434

Hera Preston's earliest memories begin very unusually. After a tragic event in 2015, the girl doesn't think her life can get any stranger. The year 2022, which brings forth a new disease at the hands of Delphi, proves her wrong. This story follows teenagers in their struggle for life in the traumaverse.

1. Prologue

For ages, medicine has adapted to counteract the forces threatening us presently. In the future where cancer and AIDS are as frivolous as gallstones or appendicitis, doctors have grown arrogant. There exists a group of people who work against medicine to restore mankind's right to die.

Cancer and AIDS are frivolous because there exist things far worse.

There exist forces that even nature, with all her might, could not have pulled off on her own.

There exist diseases that the average surgeon could not hope to vanquish, that may even require a touch from the god of medicine himself.

Lucky for man there's an institution in a certain city that is buzzing with individuals with the ability to thwart these new threats to humanity.

You never know; mankind's most greatest ally (or even threat) may be under our very noses.
