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.

Chapter Ten : Taking Care of Business
Time passed slowing with a few official missions now and then. With only a mission to Honduras to investigate a chemical plant which turned up nothing useful on the surface. We were mostly sent on missions that might look like alien or monster activity and while it was a chance to get away from Montauk Base I mostly bored me.
That quickly changed however on August 10th 2011 with the arrival of my Father Doctor Morgan Anthony Whelton or known to some as Quantum or just Agent Whelton who it seemed arrived to deliver some interesting news. He found me in the swimming pool on the second floor and while my mood was still dismal over my current assignment and my drive to improve myself I was happy to see him.
My Father had eased my mind and reminded me that in the past when he had been active Agent things had been pretty much the same. I told him of my issues with the others including Cowboy, Voice and of course Eagle Eye who with his bloodlust I was sure was likely to get me killed and he helped to ease my mind. Having a brilliant Psychiatrist, Parapsychologist and Scientist Father does have its advantages.
My mood was somewhat cooled but then my Father gave me news that warmed it right back up. He confided in me that he had suggested that the DSEA seek me out for he had feared for my safety. I also learned that my older siblings Marcus, Christina, and Nigel were all missing. I had a feeling he was leading up to something and I knew from his tone when he asked if I had heard from my Mother that something was up.
I had told him that I had heard from Mom just last week like clockwork since she called every Sunday to make at noon to check up on me and to find out if I had been doing. He seemed relieved and told me that the official word was that Agent Emily Harrison her official code name had possibly gone rogue. The look he gave me told me that there was more to that statement then met the eye for I knew my Mother was also possessed Precognition must have had a reason for her actions but officially they might not be believed. My Father was therefore telling me that Mom was working to save her children while making sure like Father that I was protected. So when my Father told me to inform him and only him when Mother contacted him I knew something was up but I knew I no clue exactly what that might be and if my Mother was involved I would not know until she wanted me to know.
As it would turn out as I headed back to my room which just so happened to be next to Arwyn Summers her door was open and she asked me if I wanted to go shopping. I was in the mood for something different and like I have alluded to in the past Arwyn has that effect on people. I decided to find out if any of the others wanted to come with us since I really doubted anything could go wrong as long as Arwyn was around. Only Jay Smith took me up on my offer which was fine by me as of all of my team members he was by far my favorite.
Of course my bad mood disappeared in the calming presence of Arwyn and the protective aura that seemed to have come from years on the job exuded by Jay. The hours we spent shopping were indeed therapeutic and relaxing, I will admit Agent J’s calm demeanor did much to brighten my mood, which lasted about right up until the point where we had dropped Arwyn off at the airport for her vacation to Chicago. Well actually right about the time we had returned to our sports car one of many from the Montauk Base car pool.
So of course we were soon greeted by my missing Mother who had stepped out of a stretch limo that had literally seemed to pull out of nowhere. She had stepped out and greeted me and told me she had someone she needed me to meet. Her acquaintance it would turn out to be none other the Multi-Billionaire Emily Christianson who it seemed was her new benefactor. Of course I had heard of her as she was a shady corporate figure who was on the CIA’s watch list and even being associated with her was literally paramount to a required review. I of course wished my Mother well and told her that was good to see her but that I was busy and would have to decline but of course Emily had other plans.
For far quicker than should have been humanly possible my old acquaintance Adam the Super-Soldier had stepped out of the limo and circled around to manhandle me into the limo. I had of course been reaching for my Desert Eagle and Adam had been kind enough to disarm me and my Mother was able to convince me to reconsider joining them. Agent J soon joined us as well and Emily presented us with her pitch for what would turn out to be our next mission. Emily’s reputation was it seemed well deserved for she soon informed us of a lead she had acquired at great cost that would allow us the chance to acquire the Harp Two.
Now the Harp Two reputed to enable control of the weather it seemed had been recently acquired from Northrop Grumman by a mysterious thief with precognitive abilities. Now I only need to mention that my Mother is gifted with precognition which was something that she had been able to use to her advantage. That she had cornered me as she had was not a real surprise but the information continued to flow. Our mysterious thief it seemed had also been the Precognizant Mastermind whose Agents had infiltrated the Montauk Base and liberated a number of samples of what was being called Diazol or as I now prefered to call Essence of Summer. It seemed we had one chance to acquire the Harp Two and that was at the home of the New York Mets none other than Citi Field Stadium in New York. All we had to do therefore was to be the right place at the right time which turned out to be midnight that very night and recover the Harp Two.
I confess I must also mention that the ride back to Base was uneventful but that did not mean that I was idle. I had used my own precognitive gifts to view the possible outcome of informing our Montauk allies back at the base. It was interesting since every path that I saw which involved contacting anyone at base ended up only one way. That way was being contained and questioned by mysterious Agents who seemed to have authority over Montauk personnel. Don’t get me wrong I had access to a number of clandestine contacts in the CIA as well as my Father and Frost who I believed still maintained their own network but at time I had felt it best to acquire as much information as I could before I acted rashly.
Finally to only path that I saw open to us once I had informed the others of the situation was to meet in the room of Agent Summers while allowing Eagle Eye to us her computer to enable us to access potentially sensitive data without ourselves being discovered. Of course it would come to pass that Eagle Eye had gone a bit overboard which led to a very interesting encounter later involving an organization called Cure. There was another bit regarding children who were close to Agent Summers and I found that she possessed sensitivity to my precognitive gifts but still I had foreseen a danger to them so I had called to warn her. We eventually decided to attempt to contact one of the only two people I felt we could trust and so Cowboy departed to seek the council of the calm yet always cool Frost.
I knew that in my life I was coming to a crossroads for while as I had discussed with my Father I did not really trust any of my new so called comrades. Seriously with the exception of Agent Smith or Shade they all seemed quite unprofessional or so extreme as to seem psychotic. I hoped that with my gifts I would be able to endure my latest trial. It was also worth noting that something of a personal matter not regarding the mission had also been discovered which I had been able to reveal with the aid of Eagle Eye.
My Mother it seemed had passed me a coded message revealing the possible locations of my Brothers Marcus and Nigel and my Sister Christina who were as my Father had informed me all missing. I had a feeling my Mother was only working with Miss Christianson or Emily either because she was involved or her resources were going to give her the best chance to rescue them. My sibling’s possible location had been located but it was of course shielded and while I knew my Mother was trying to help me she was not doubt also revealing to me that things were not as they seemed. So as my team was of course not willing to devote time to rescuing my Family I had to take solace that my Mother and Father were on the job each in their own way. I will only say this woe to those who cross the Whelton’s for they should remember that vengeance is a sweet desert that is best served cold and it its very cold in space. Just think about it for awhile until next time let the curtain for now fall.
