Chapter 1

POV: Martin

The floor was cold. Yah, that's right. I was terribly cold. I passed out in the middle of my ultimate mega super scary movie athon last night. Wow, who knew Galoos' had so many teeth. I got up off the floor and stretched. I gave a quick glance to my alarm clock. It read 12:58. What? How could I have slept in that much? I am no Rip Van Winkle! I quickly got dressed, and tied my shoes as I put on my shirt. Their I was, all picture perfect. To bad the ladies don't agree on that.

I dressed in a white shirt with a yellow and orange jacket vesty thingy. I never really cared enough to give it a name. I fled my dorm and ran towards my class. Butt I was unfortunately to late, the class ended and I bumped accidentally into Java who was fixing a door to the boy's washroom.

"Martin rush?" Java asked curiously.

"No Java, well, yes Java, I am late and I got to scoot!"

I then bumped into Diana. How coincidental. I know what was going to come next.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

"It's the center!" Diana called enthusiastically.

"It's coming from behind the door Java fixed!" I pointed out.

We opened the door to reveal a teleportation liquid. I don't really know what it is called, however it is our means of transportation to and from the Center.

As we walked through the goop, a machine scanned our palms and x-rayed our bodies, announcing our full names and sliding us along a conveyer belt of some sort. As we got on a green little alien know by the name of Billy appeared.

"Hey guys!" Billy called.

"Hey Billy! How's it hanging'?" I said shortly after doing our guys only handshake.

"Not much, but M.O.M. is furious! You guys better hustle!" Billy said as we walked in the elevator.

Next thing we know we are standing in M.O.M.'s office while she yells angrily into a cell phone.

"Forget it Charles! You will have no part in this!" She said as she hung up the phone and then proceeded to smashing it on her desk.

"Oh, sorry you had to overhear that agent; me and a friend of mine were having an argument about your mission."

"That's cool M.O.M., but the real question is; what is our mission." I asked curious to see what has her so angered.

"Their have been reports of loud screams and bright flashing lights at an abandoned warehouse near New York City, and yes this does look stereotypical. Over twenty cops have entered the warehouse in attempts to discover the cause of these phenomenon but none have returned. Which is why I am pairing you up with a team I am sure you remember well, I will not spoil the surprise though. That is all."

"Okay! Let's go!" I shouted just as a portal appeared to take us to our destination.

We stepped through to portal to feel the cold, hard rain on our bodies. Luckily, Billy had slipped us some new raincoats for the weather. What a thoughtful alien.

As we headed towards the warehouse, I received a message on my U-Watch telling me to wait until our partners showed up. Who could they be?

POV: Clover

Today was a big day for me and my best buds. I mean they restocked on the all new Lila Line of Cashmere Sweaters at Beverly Boutique! I walk all the girls up early so we could get their first and get the sweaters first. We waited in line for an hour. It was excruciating, Alex talked about how I could've got all the sweaters myself. I told her that we need to divide and conquer. She just rolled her eyes and sighed. Sam was engrossed in a book called 'Physics Delight' which in my opinion was boring. Sam really should get out more.

Finally the door opened and we charged. The other shoppers didn't stand a chance. We took all the sweaters which the other girls groaned to, I don't know why though; you never know when you will need a back up.

We put the outfits back in our drawers and then we got ready for school. Suddenly we heard a swooshing noise and before our eyes, the drawer containing our sweaters gave way and with great suction, pulled us in to a long tube. We slipped and swirled down a long metal tube.

"Ugh! This better not ruin my sweaters!" I shouted as I continued slipping down the pipe. Before we knew it, we had all landed awkwardly on a dark pink couch in front of a super computer with a rather old man sitting in a chair behind the counter. He had a British accent and was rather old. His head was covered in grey hair and was thinning. His name was Jerry. He was our boss, oh, and did I mention we were super spies? Yah, just a tiny little minor detail, Jer was about to give us an assignment.

"Good day ladies. Today I have quite a special mission for you girls which involves meeting some old friends who you have previously met."

"Cool! Is it a hunky guy?" I asked and I swear I saw another grey hair pop out of Jerry's head.

"I am not going to say, you'll just have to find out on your own." Jerry said mischievously.

"Come on Jer, don't be a party pooper." Alex said talking with a lisp.

"You are not fooling me, Alex. You will be taken to a warehouse in New York where bright lights and screams have been reported. Police have gone missing trying to investigate so it is up to you." Jerry said as he pushed a button on his desk, immediately sending us through another pipe, into an airplane and waited before parachuting down to 3 people below us. I recognized the nerd almost instantly, but the other two were hare to place.

One was rather muscular, had a massive build and squinty eyes. The other was a girl who looked just a bit younger than me with long brown hair and a 'I am in charge' look in her eye. The nerd was wearing a white shirt with a yellow orange jacket, sloppy pants and a spiky blonde hairdo. Ugh, Martin Mystery.

"Hey girls didn't expect to see you here. Must be a pretty big job for both agencies to have called their highest ranking teams. Anyway this is my sister Diana and our cave friend buddy, Java." Martin said eyeing Alex. Alex blushed. Last time we worked with Martin, he and Alex were on the verge of dating before he got called back to work. I think he is ready to pounce again.

"So what do you lovely ladies know about this warehouse?" Martin asked probably trying to get some info, or flirting.

"We heard about flashing lights emitting from here as well as screams." Sam said looking Martin in the eye. He didn't seem to feel over powered by a female; after all, his sister looks a ton load bossy.

Martin nodded in agreement telling us that was all he was told as well. We decided an aerial assault would be the best way to go, but Diana interrupted say half should go on the ground. Diana quarreled with Martin a bit before deciding it was a good idea. We split with Diana, Sam and Me on the roof and Java, Martin and Alex on the bottom. I felt nervous leaving Alex alone with Martin, but I trust they will stay on task. We spotted a sun roof on the warehouse which happened to be ajar a bit. We pushed it aside and peaked inside. We saw Martin looking through a window on the far side or the building.

The building was pitch black and I didn't really hear anything so I motioned to proceed with the investigation. Wow, I just realized that I sound like same right now. I have the looks and she has the leadership I guess. Maybe it was just an instinct to take the role of leader even though it was for a short time. Me and Diana started down the rope, but all of a sudden, it appeared as though something pushed Sam of the roof and into the building as well. Martin and his team were sprawled out on the floor as though something had thrown them in just like us.

The lights suddenly flashed on to reveal…nothing. The room appeared to be empty, which was strange since we could clearly hear someone laughing somewhere, echoing throughout the room. In an instant a man appeared wearing a long black cape and had pale white skin. He had jet black wet hair and an evil smile filled with pointy teeth. He didn't appear to be afraid of us. He just laughed and started to talk.

"Hello agents. My name is Sinister, but you can call me Sinister. You are probably thinking some of the following questions like how'd we get in here or when did you get here. Simple, really, I am a mutant. A human who is no longer human, and according to some tests I have done over the course of the past few years, I think it safe to assume you all have potential. I am happy to say that I will help you fulfill your potential." Sinister said with a smirk on his face.

"Oh, and I can't become invisible at will, it is just a temporary power, but unfortunately for you it will be permanent. But wait, it already is." He said as he chuckled to himself once more.

"What do you want with us?" I asked.

"What did you do with those cops?" Diana asked with genuine interest.

He just laughed again. Man, this was getting rather annoying.

"The cops are gone, helping to make this experiment a success and a step forward for human evolution."

"How could you? They probably had families and children….you heartless monster!" Alex shouted. Martin begged her to quite down.

"Don't worry Alex, yes I know your name, one cop did survive. I want you to meet Officer Thompson." Sinister announced as someone entered the room out of a shadow. He was really a someone, more of a something. I held my breath from shock. This once man was a bright black. I don't how else to describe his colour. He had bright yellow eyes and one missing hand with a relatively short stature.

"Hello….gang?" Said Thompson, he definitely felt out of place, you could see on his face how depressed he was having trouble adjusting to the light in the room.

"Don't worry Officer! We'll get you help!" Shouted Martin, now Alex was telling him to shut up. Sinister snickered.

"Good luck with that, Martin. Now Officer, do you wish to tell our guests what is happening to them right now?"

"You see…kiddos…Sinister is releasing an airborne….mutant gene activator. It releases bottled up….mutant abilities. To those without…bottled up powers like me….the results are not that great…but you still end up as a mutant either way…" Officer Thompson said as he cried, probably because he couldn't watch kids like us be affected by this death weapon.

Sam tried to take down Sinister but swatted her harmlessly out of the air, slamming her against the wall. We heard her groan in pain, and I just noticed somehow our hands and feet were tied. Sam must not have notice until it was to late.

"Foolish girl! You are no match for me!" Sinister exclaimed as he stood with pride.

We then realized, how much danger we were all in. We were trapped in a room with a mutant psycho, a mutant policemen, an unconscious super spy, and the rest of us tied with no chance of escape.

POV: Diana

This was more intense than anything the Center has ever had us do before. I think we were all really scared. And with some sort of virus floating in the air, there was telling what was happening. Martin looked like he was going to explode. To be a superhero or a crazy monster has been his hidden desires, and to here he might be a superhero made him ecstatic.

"Martin, I am aware of your comic book and movie addictions. It will all come true." Sinister said trying to win Martin over. Despite how dumbfounded Martian was and is, he didn't fall for Sinister.

"It might be super cool, but you have killed innocent people in the process which isn't cool!" Martin said at Sinister, but after he was done he spat at Sinister. Sinister approached Martin and slapped him hard in the face.

"Java bored."

"Good point, their Java. What is taking so long, you are clearly out of villain jibber jabber, so get on with it." Martin said, as recoil to the slap.

"It takes time, be patient."

That's it! The break we were waiting for!

"Just a couple more seconds until you pests are changed…permanently."
