I will start off with the facts it was mid-morning around ten twenty am on Friday July 9th 2010 and Roy and I had just escaped certain death after just barely teleporting thru the shield surrounding it would seem the entire Montauk Air Force Station. I had tossed my bags containing my newly acquired equipment on my bed and figured it was time to change cloths since if the Law Rocket that had been shot into our van was to be any indication things were hot an were only likely to get hotter.
I needed to change from out of my black sweats shower and change into my all Armani white suit which I felt would work for Agent gear and I felt my red tinted wrap sunglasses would be the perfect finishing touch. I asked Roy if he could check on the team as I had grabbed my bags and headed to the shower. I realized we had recovered the body of Kelvin Matthews and that even what I could only call Orc like beasts had after their death changed into normal humans. Which of course left us with a few remaining members of an as yet unknown agency that seemed to be working against us in custody.
We were left with only two problems still one site for our Agents on the ground to handle the investigation into the unknown agency’s operative who had escaped and dealing with the public ramifications of a firefight and a law rocket explosion. While the other would be the cover story that would need to be put in place to prevent panic by the populace since a law rocked did not just explode on the street everyday. So it might be up to me to suggest a cover story and I had one that I thought might fit.
Thankfully I did not need to ever worry about for within only a few seconds there was a knock on the door. So I said to Roy “Roy could you be so kind as to answer the door.” Roy had replied “I’d be much obliged m’am.” He answered the door and waiting for us was an older blonde haired female DSEA Agent who introduced herself as Sharon Callahan.
Meanwhile there was radio chatter coming in from our Agents in the field. It seemed that they had located the body of Kelvin Matthews. In addition they confirmed they had the situation contained and had acquired several captives as well as one of the mutated beasts as well. It was also confirmed that someone who had been with the group we had secured had gotten way. The chatter continued while they asked for assistance in cleaning up the situation. So within moments Agent Sharon Callahan, Roy and I were back into the picture.
It seemed Agent Callahan was putting together a clean up crew to assist in cleaning up the site and she had already requested that Roy be the driver. It also seemed she had already put into a place a plan with the help of Agent Jarvis to institute a twenty mile blackout in the area. She even coordinated with MOG who wished to be known by the operative handle The Voice in order to create a reasonable distraction of an exploded gas main in order to relieve the populace. It seemed he also was being asked to hypnotize a few nearby locals of the cover story. She had then informed MIB who was called The Gunslinger by BOW or Agent John Smith or as he preferred Agent J that the local authorities would no doubt arrive before we would and to hold down the area until she arrived.
I chose that moment to speak up and inform her that the services of the others would not be needed as I could teleport our new transport back to the scene if the Voice could be so kind as to provide us with cover. I also questions Agent Callahan about the extent of the shield surrounding the base. She informed me the shield allowed teleportation within the base but attempting to transport thru it could prove to be difficult. She continued to relate to me that the shield extended to the exit gate of the facility. My idea worked for Agent Callahan and as she and Roy headed off to collect the team I informed her I would only be few minutes as I needed to quickly change.
Meanwhile Agent J it seemed had already been busy at the scene preparing t the captured operatives as well as the body of Kelvin Matthews for transport back to the base. While I was taking my shower I had informed him about the teleportation shield and where it would be safe to transport. He had already completed the transport called a team which had already begun securing both the evidence and the captured operative before I had even exited the shower. I did remember him saying to them to careful with some kind of cane that seemed to have some sort of crystal at the tip before he transported back to the scene.
I had cleaned up and changed and teleported myself to the secure exit gate and awaited Agent Callahan and Roy who soon drove up and picked me up. Inside the van with them were four fully hazard suited techs with enough equipment to make sure they could secure the area. Once we had driven past the gate house I confirmed with the Voice that he was ready and with his go ahead I focused my will and visualized our location and triggered the telekinetic effect which would transform us into energy and transmit us thru a quantum wormhole to our destination instantly. Actually a quite complex equation which both my Father’s in each timeline had often discussed with me. The only problem they both still faced was of course how to create what they and both before and now could do by our will alone. Don’t ask me for while my Father had tried to ram physics down my throat and I had even finally decided to take him up on it the DSEA had come along and as they so “No matter where you go there you are.”
We arrived exactally where I had planned and Agent Callahan and the techs made their exit while the Voice who was nearby entered the van and joined me. I didn’t really see the need to exit the van and of course if I needed to depart since I did not have the ability to cloak myself as it seemed both the Voice and Agent J seemed be able to do. I will admit I admired that ability but not in a jealous way more in a thoughtful way. I had asked if any of the Agents still on the scene needed a transport back to base as Agent Jarvis had asked us to convene at the base once we were clear. It seemed that AB was already on his way back being transported back by Agent J while Gunslinger was still following up a few leads it would seem.
So meanwhile I talked with the Voice and strangely he had wanted to discuss teleportation. He basically wondered if my teleportation was more like a transportation say from Star Trek for example. Since basically you are killed every time you are transported and recreated from new molecules when you arrive or some other method. He seemed relieved when I explained it the simple way that basically our bodies were converted into energy and transferred faster than the speed of light to our location and then transmuted back. We also discussed his powers which he seemed to have only acquired the day before and still getting the hang of them. I had mentioned to him about my two Fathers and the alternate reality I remembered and asked him if he remembered anything similar and at the time he had told me not really.
Within a few more moments I received notification that Gunslinger was ready for transport and Agent J transported him while I transported the Voice and after a short walk back to the secret entrance we were back within the confines of our underground base. I will have to admit the whole secret panel with the coded touch system in order to access the hidden elevator was a nice touch. We had of course received the instructions and were even met by my favorite tech the handsome if I do say so African American Michael Davis who was waiting to escort us to a briefing room to meet with Agent Jarvis. Not that I was looking for any action or anything I am not that kind of woman Christian upbringing and all. Alright it’s not like I had not slipped in the past but I had no intention of ever sleeping my way to the top or for that matter ever getting involved with and Agent or any one who worked for one. So Michael escorted us to the meeting room and while we walked I had inquired into the Law Rocket I was looking for and he informed me he was still working on it.
When we entered a large glass enclosed conference room where Agent Jarvis was already waiting and we all took seats and I thought the briefing or debriefing as it were would begin. Well so much for wishful thinking. I should perhaps back up a bit for along the way both Gunslinger and Agent J had been making comments about AB having some kind of information but that we were not worthy of knowing. I try to remain diplomatic and not ruffle feathers so let it pass for after all we had all just met and I really could not blame AB for being a little cautious. Heck even Agent J had warned me about talking to the Voice since he was a reporter by trade and I might soon find my tale of two worlds in the papers. I doubted it but to be honest I already had my cover story in place unlike the others for in my other life I was a trained Agency Operative and even in my own life I had worked with the Agency on a number of occasions but I shall not be speaking about that. So while AB insisted on speaking with Agent Jarvis alone I took the time to continue to review the Omni-Scanner that our tech Michael had acquired for me.
I will admit I was getting a few odd looks from a few of the others as I still carried a large shoulder bag or duffel which I was currently using to hold my new gear. No doubt they were wondering about the odd scanner I was working on. Is it my fault if they had not inquired about special equipment, but then again I figured they would catch up sooner or perhaps later. Thankfully AB came back in with Agent Jarvis and the meeting would finally be able to begin. Believe it or not we now had either names or at the very least code names for everyone except our mystery man AB. This of course lead to me asking AB what his name or code name was and he answered with the code name Eagle Eye. So of course I wondered it his first name was Eagle and his second name Eye but hey it was a starting point better than calling him AB.
Our meeting officially began with Agent Jarvis informing us that no one within the DSEA had any idea that we let the base we would run into the kind of resistance that we had. He shared with us information about other dimensional beings who it seemed were able to possess their counterparts in our dimension which it seemed had involved a Project Sentential back in 2007. It also seemed a former member of MI-6 was now a professional mercenary and assassin named Iain Crawford in addition to being a former associate of Eagle Eye known as the Executioner was also involved. It seemed that he had been spotted by Eagle Eye who failed to tell us of his importance which of course in the long run aided in his escape. All I thought at the time was that wouldn’t it have been groovy if we had all trusted each other.
Did I forget to mention that Iain like the rest of my new team it seemed was known to have powers but the exact extent of those abilities was for the moment still remained yet another mystery to be solved it would seem. For the record Agent Jarvis revealed that we were all considered Class One threats which of course caused me to wonder as to the abilities possessed by my new team. Our conversation had turned to how we might locate Iain and as I had looked at his picture in the dossier provided by Agent Jarvis my mind started to catch on something. As I was reading the dossier on Kelvin Matthews my mind kept wandering back to something and then I had caught it the name of Kelvin’s girlfriend Melissa.
It all started to fall into place I had seen Iain and Melissa somewhere before and while I had been talking to the Voice I had even remembered something about a sword that reminded me of Excalibur. We a short side discussion where along with the Voice and Agent J we were able to determine that everyone had dreams of some sort. I knew in alternate universe I used to possess Precognition and I wondered if perhaps my dream which had included Iain and Melissa was perhaps a glimpse of the future. But it seemed that the sword in question was it seemed too old to be Excalibur with Agent J placing it somewhere in the time of the ancient Romans circa somewhere BC. So with one lead down I focused my mind and tried to remember all that I could from my dream.
As I concentrated I remembered Iain standing above Melissa who was tied to a chair in what looked like a hotel or motel room. He was showing her a picture of Kelvin and asking her about the location of the item he did not mention. The next thing he had cut her ear off and the last images I was able to remember was a clock in the room indicating the time at 6:01pm and a picture of the Montauk Radar Dish. I informed the others of what I had remembered and Agent Jarvis put our techs to work trying to track down a place of lodging that might have such a painting. While we waited the others began to discuss strategy and Eagle Eye revealed to us just why the name he chose was well deserved. For it seemed he possessed the ability to see beyond and witness events miles away from him as if he were there what some might call Clairvoyance. I will admit his secretive and sullen manner were not really my style but having a Clairvoyant in our midst almost made up for it.
It was only 11:30am when our tech Michael walked in with good news he had found the location of the painting the Chateau Motel only forty miles away. So I asked Michael to pull up the location on a digital map so that Eagle Eye could use it as a focus. At which point a huge argument started between Eagle Eye, Agent J and Gunslinger over him needing to be placed in a proper location in order to be able to use his sniper rifle. The argument pretty much bored me since I realized he would see the area before we did in real time and be able to inform us how to proceed not the other way around. I actually tried to remind him of that but he literally bit my head off before I could even explain my point. It seemed like instead of following other leads were going to make plans to stake out the Chateau Motel which seemed odd to me as we had hours before Iain and Melissa were due to arrive but who was I to talk. So instead and to give the men time to cool off I informed them I was going to freshen up and would be back in a little while.
Honestly there had been way to much testosterone in that room that room and since I did not possess the ability to sense danger as a few of the team I suspected could. I chose instead to remove myself from the equation and if they needed they knew where to find me. I therefore changed into a more classic outfit which consisted of a navy blue jacket with matching skirt of course black panty hose and my matching ballerinas. So alright my huge duffle bag with my M-16 and ammunition and other assorted gear would look a bit out of place but my Desert Eagle pistol would look fine in my regulation holster and my back up Dixie Derringer would fit perfectly in my wrist holster which only left my CRKT Ultima hunting knife strapped across my back. In other words I was ready to rock and roll and to be honest all I felt I was missing was a Law Rocket.
Well thanks to Agent J and my favorite tech Michael that was soon remedied. Agent J told me he had someplace to show me so I took his hand and we teleported onto an airport runway. I had a feeling he had missed his target and a moment later we appeared near what looked like an Air Force hanger. At which point he handed me a document telling me that with it I could acquire my Law Rocket. He had then confirmed that I could get myself back and after I had confirmed that I could he vanished. Within a few moments a flash of my badge and a little innuendo I had a quite Advanced Law Assembly. Granted there were a few questions about the so called blackout but of course I gave nothing away mentioning need to know information regarding why I needed the Assembly and not revealing that I knew anything about the blackout. Of course they included the instructions which I would of course review and ten extra shells. Let’s just say I was quite excited to have the Law Assembly which actually seemed to worry Gunslinger which struck me at the time as quite odd.
I took the time to explain while not at first successfully that the Law was a last resort weapon but that I wanted to make sure we had the option available if we needed it. He seemed relieved after that for which I was relieved and after studying the satellite image of the area surrounding the Chateau Motel I was ready to transport the team. The others deployed with the Voice heading while invisible into Iain’s room, Eagle Eye to a nearby rooftop with the aid of Agent J and Gunslinger choosing to scope the area from the ground. We still had hours to kill and I had to admit I was hungry so after a quick contact with Agent Jarvis we headed to lunch.
Of course during my communication with Agent Jarvis I confirmed that the nearby three story back bank roof was indeed under surveillance and we controlled it. So I had of course stashed my duffle bag and my Law on the roof before heading to a quite relaxing lunch with Agent J. He had picked a quite little restaurant were we could pose as business people on a business meeting or date take you pick either way we pulled it off. He figured wisely that we could be miles away since we could both teleport so why not enjoy ourselves. He had even taken the precaution to call in a support and clean up team just in case things got shall we say exciting with the Executioner Iain. I would almost think he might have a tendency for Precognition himself but I had to admit I did enjoy his company.
It was a little after five when Eagle Eye reported that he had spotted Iain and Melissa along in a Sedan along with an SUV escort making their way to the scene of the future mutilation. After discussing the location on the bank roof where I had stashed my equipment Agent J agreed to come with me once Eagle Eye confirmed to us that they were within a minute of the motel. I also wanted to be there because while I was not a healer like my father I hoped to be able to persuade Eagle Eye to not just shoot Iain. I had a feeling he was working for someone and if he just killed him then we might never find out who he had been working for. Since after reviewing Iain’s file he did not really strike me as the criminal mastermind type more like the hired muscle really. Also Agent J wished to travel invisibly so there was not need to rush.
I made the jump to the roof and listened for my teammates to make their moves. From what I heard there were three people in the sedan one being Iain also one of his henchmen and Melissa. While the SUV contained four others and while the all exited their vehicles I asked the others to let me when Melissa was alone in the car as I had a plan to retrieve her. Well right about that time Eagle Eye opened fire and I heard someone cry out and Iain ducked and scrambled under the SUV. At which point Gunslinger began to open fire as I quickly told him my plan to lift the sedan up to me and teleport away with it to the location of our clean up team. I had already worked out the plan with Agent J already and I was good to go but Gunslinger for some reason wanted me to teleport down to the car which I was not going to do.
You might ask why well with someone called the Executioner down there dodging bullets and having others bounce of his chest I did not want to end up in his sights anytime soon. Let Gunslinger dance around the gunfire if he wished Agent J was still nearby ready to pull him out if need be. So I reached out with my mind and extended my range the full ninety feet from the roof to the car and lifted it with Melissa inside and began to move it to me. Of course I had asked the Voice if he could help me out with the illusion of a whirlwind or something but in reality if my plan worked within another second the sedan, Melissa and I would be safely miles away before they even had a chance to fire another shot.
Time seemed to freeze for we seemed at a precipice with all of our lives hanging in the balance. I only knew one thing at the time for sure. Either I would be successful in my little snatch and grab or one of the Executioner’s henchmen would any second pull out something really sexy and things would be taken up to the next level. The next few seconds would be critical but then again from what I had already seen working for the DSEA was a lot more intense then working with the Agency ever was. Wait did I forget to mention I used to work for them in this timeline as well perhaps one day I will tell that tale.
