Mortals and Undead (2.0)

" you won't cause any ill will." Nyla said still looking him over. " It's the least we can do for saving us. And if they were mad I would tell them to piss off and treat you anyways. I took and oath and I'm not going to break it."

Atlas just remained silent as Henri came walking over to them. He slowly got to his feet towering above them all. "I am okay for now. The threat has been neutralized and so my work here is done. I will be heading out now." Atlas said.
"Hold on now Atlas, please let us at least treat your wounds." Henri stated. "Nyla, us there anything you can do to help him?" He asked looking to him.

" yes." She nodded. " I can clean out his wounds and wrap them. I could also try healing them with my powers." She told him.

Atlas shook his head. "I would prefer you save whatever you can for your own people. I will not refuse some cleaned wounds." He said.

" I can gather more energy. And look right now my eyes are bright means I have plenty juice." Nyla told him. " You might have rock hard skin I get purple eyes that change in brightness." She said trying to make the atmosphere more light. " Come to the med bay and I can clean those wounds out."

Atlas nodded and looked to Henri. "Make sure the body burns up completely. And dispose of the ashes so it cannot potentially infect any others." Atlas instructed.
Henri nodded and had people start to repair the gate as Atlas walked with Nyla.

Nyla lead the way to the med bay. " You come too." She instructed Cutter. " You lied to me about that shelf not hurting you "

Cutter was about to open his moth when Henri just shook his head and pointed to Nyla.
Wolf cleared his throat. "Sir am I needed here? Otherwise i want to help Nyla. One of the shelves fell over and made a mess. I can help her clean it up faster and reach the top shelves easier." He asked.
"Very well." Henri said with a curt nod and Wolf, Cutter and Atlas all.followed Nyla into the med bay.

Nyla let out a heavy breath once she knew they were far enough away. " Cutter why did you not tell me the shelf hurt you?" She asked him walking into her medical room. Which was a distaster from the shelf falling. " Both of you take a seat." She instructed. Cutter she knew she could heal with her powers. Atlas she was unsure if she could through his tough skin.

"Because we had more important matters to tend to." Cutter said as he sat down next to Atlas. "Have you ever seen a zombie like that?" Cutter asked.
"No, never." Atlas said as he shook his head. Wolf gently knocked on the door.

" from what ryder said he saw those things can be very dangerous and can cause the infection to spread faster... I wish I could have gotten a sample to test." Nyla said as she took her gloves off and laid a hand gently into cutter healing him of his wound. When she heard the knock she howlerd " come in." As she finished up with Cutter. " Should be all healed up from the shelf falling on you." She paused putting her glove back on " Now you." She turned to Atlas. " I can try to see if I can heal you with my powers. But I've never healed anyone with skin quite like yours. Or would you like to to skip that and go straight to the basics of cleaning and wrapping your wounds?"

Wolf walked in. "I-I came to help clean up the shelves..." He told her as he walked in.
"I don't think a sample would be a safe thing to have Nyla. It's...puss burned through my skin. Normally I can't even be hurt but somehow that infected was able to melt my skin." Atlas informed her. He shook his head. "Don't bother with your powers." He said flatly. "Just clean it up. I'll heal over eventually." He informed.

" thank you wolf." She said to him letting him fix the mess. " You are right I could probably not contain it." Nyla nodded listening to them. " That's what concerns me will it heal?" Nyla asked. " Also I'm curious as to how your abilities work. Being there doctor here I have to understand people's abilities so I can best take care of them." She explained as she gathered the things she would need too clean his wounds. " Have you ever had injuries like this before since you became a super?" Nyla asked.

Wolf nodded and went right to cleaning up. Cutter went over to organize. "it should. I've gotten off my skin before, it always heals back." Atlas informed her. I'm not entirely sure how mine works honestly. And don't worry about me. I prefer to be alone." Atlas said. "Not really, a few cigar burns, knife stabbed and a gunshot once." Atlas said.

" okay." Nyla nodded putting alcohol on a rag and started to dab clean the exposed skin. " Thanks you two." She said to wolf and Cutter.

Wolf nodded shyly as he just listened.

Atlas gritted his teeth as she touched his skin. The skin started to become red and sore. "Fuck that stings."

" it means it's doing its job, now stop moving." Nyla said even though altas was sitting on a bed, she still needed to climb up on a stool to be able to reach all the places she needs to clean. " Wolf I know you have questions this is probably the only chance you will get them answered." Nyla said to him still focused on Atlas.

Atlas just grumbled and waited there as Nyla worked on cleaning him.

Wolf nodded and cleared his throat. "So...Cutter can talk...?" He asked.

" yes. I only found this out the other day." Nyla nodded as she worked on Atlas which she did as fast as she could.

Cutter explained the situation as he organized the shelf. Wolf helped listening and Atlas just sat there as Nyla finished.

"So...you're patient 0?" Wolf asked.
"Yes, at least within north america." Cutter nodded.
"And you act mute because if people find out about the fact that you aren't you risk.getting killed by Henri?" Cutter nodded. "And what about Atlas?"
"Oh Atlas is my cousin." Cutter said..

Nyla finished up with atlas. She cleaned and wrapped his fresh wounds. " If you need anything else or it seems like things are getting worst and not better come find me." Nyla told him. She put her supplies away and looked at the others who seemed to be almost done picking up the mess they made earlier.

" Hey how is everyone?" Ryder asked walking into the lab unphased by hearing Cutter talk. " I wanted to say thanks to you guys."

"For what?" Atlas asked a bit confused as he nodded to Nyla as she finished.

" I should introduce myself. I'm ryder I'm the one who saw this place going to hell from that zombie." Ryder said walking up to Atlas. " I just wanted to say thanks for saving us and changing what I saw." He told him.

Nyla walked over to cutter. " Thank you for picking up." She said softly to him. She wanted to give him a kiss but wasn't sure in front of everyone was the best place.

Atlas shrugged. "No problem I guess." He admitted. "Rather not have to deal with a bunch more dead. That and I kinda like my Cuz." He said. "I'm more worried about where that thing came from."

Cutter nodded. "Not a problem. I helped make the mess, only fair I help clean it up." He said.

" I'm the one who made the mess." Nyla corrected. " But thank you." She said again. " Thank you Wolf."

" Me too. Where did that thing come from." Ryder nodded agreeing with Atlas. " I sadly have not seen where it's from."
