PROMPT: "Trial"

DRABBLE TITLE: "The Cure – Part I"

P.O.V.: John Hancock


Virgil's incendiary words rang my noggin' something fierce.

"I would have to know how Cabot's 'Mystery serum' and the X-111 compound were replicated, of course, and there would have to be trials for viability and safety, obviously, but it's an interesting idea."

Understatement of the year, that. The whole notion was revolutionary.

—Which was just my thing, coincidentally.

Curing ghouls by reversing radiation damage…could it be done?

Watching Nora sharing a laugh with MacCready, I knew I wanted to try, even if it killed me. It was the only way she'd ever see me as more than an ugly freak.


Notes:

Hancock was my favorite companion in game, if only because he says the funniest things. He was also my first romance in the game, so that might be why I was bit by the FO4 fanfiction bug to write him first.

Please review.
