I have been called Future since I signed on with the DSEA which made sense as my old tagline in the alternate reality was the Transporter when I had worked with the Agency. To be honest I still considered that to be my best codename for as far as I was seeing it secrecy was not exactly what it was supposed to be. Case in point my DSEA team and I had just due to my precognitive gifts avoided a spectacular explosion at the Citi Stadium which was just the beginning of our search for the Harp Two.
On deck were Shadow, Eagle Eye, Voice and Cowboy and after only a little drama we managed to avoid numerous operatives and escape to the rooftop of a nearby Hotel in nearby Manhattan. I will note for the record that said drama had involved the Ministry, CIA, Prospero as well as the minions of Incognita. The end result Incognita had escaped with the Harp Two it seemed through an underground tunnel. Various distractions such as strategically placed snipers, physical decoys as well as the Voice using the Nausea Gun on our own teammates helped to give her a head start. The appearance of operatives claiming to be CIA, a deft Ministry agent who got the drop on the Voice and another vehicle full of hired thugs who almost crashed due to a well place mind scramble curtsey of Shadow made thing quite interesting. In the end I was able save the thugs and confer coordinates to Shadow and we transported to the rooftop of the previously mentioned Hotel to plan our next move.
Once we had arrived at the rooftop a still recovering Cowboy had asked Eagle Eye to destroy the Nausea gun. Seconds later Shadow had a cloud of confusion upon Eagle Eye and Voice. Perhaps I should elaborate just a little so their actions don’t seem so farfetched. The Ministry agent Veronica by the way who had rendered the Voice helpless had been almost killed when Eagle Eye had shot her motorcycle I had of course caught her and moved her to us. She had somehow managed to break my telekinetic hold and commenced to lay a beat down on Voice. For the record I had asked Eagle Eye if he could stop the motorcycle and he had responded by literally blowing it up while the then unknown Ministry agent had still been on it. The Voice on the other had had prevented Cowboy from apprehending one of Incognita’s operatives by shooting him with the Nausea Gun. So when Shadow had picked up Eagle Eye’s weapon and teleported away with I was not surprised nor did Cowboys actions seem out of hand.
Of course when Eagle Eye came to his senses he did not see it that way. Perhaps it was due to the training I had received with the Agency which if nothing else had taught me to be prepared for every eventuality. Granted I realized that now that my psychic powers had been restored many of those plans were no longer as effective as they used to be. For instance we all it seemed to have abilities that in the wrong hands could result in the death of each of us. So I could totally understand Shadow and Cowboy’s concerns. Now Eagle Eye pitched a fit of course and climbed down from the roof and took off. Why I followed him might surprise some but I still considered him part of my team and logic dictated that a whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
I had walked off with Eagle Eye but of course nothing I said had made any difference. It was odd but I could not seem to shake the vision I had of myself sneaking into his room and placing my Desert Eagle against the back of his head and firing. Suffice to say the others were calling me back to plan our next move and since I was not going to attempt to force someone as dangerous as Eagle Eye I had turned and returned to the others. I had a feeling it was a bad move on my part for I expected him to be picked up or picked off by a rogue agency at any moment. At the time I had made peace with if due to the fact that while I could see the value of his thirst for blood being an advantage I could also see it leading to the death of his companions and I did not like the odds and that was without even consulting my precognitive gifts.
Now it was perhaps just a little ironic that Eagle Eye had returned shortly after I had returned. He had of course run into Emily and Linda my Mother on the street and been recruited to their cause and been give a message from my Mother to be delivered to me. Her message was the most profound and useful message I could have ever received. Basically her message informed me of how we could acquire the Harp Two. I needed to use my gift of precognition to look beyond the point of the transfer after Incognita had been paid and departed. My Mother had informed me that if I tried to track Incognita I would keep running into a wall but that wall would be removed once she was removed from the equation.
So while the others were not exactly happy to see Eagle Eye’s return I was thankful for his return and it was worth noting that he had been given a new communicator as well as a new weapon which resembled a shotgun. He also had an odd smile on his face and while I knew my Mother could have that effect on people I still felt a little uneasy. Of course then was not time to ponder the future ramifications of Eagle Eye’s actions we were on the clock and the search for the Harp Two had now begun in earnest and Prospero’s plans for the Harp Two were soon to be interrupted. So as they say To Be Continued.
