Chapter 1: Temporal troubles

"Argent, report to T.A.S.D.M. 3 for mission briefing." The loudspeaker fell silent as Argent got to his feet.

'I really hope this isn't another bag mission I could really use a good challenge for once.' The thought almost made the man smile but no one would have believed it if they had seen it anyway. No, he hadn't smiled for as long as anyone could remember but nobody was stupid enough to ask why, not after what happened to the last poor fool who had been nosy. He looked in the mirror to make sure he had all his equipment and just mused that in another place or time he could just be normal. Such was not his lot in life and he quickly shut the thought away with the rest of them. Argent was an agent for temporal law and it was game time. Holstering his sidearm he strode out of his quarters and towards what he hoped would be a mission worth his time.

The door for the T.A.S.D.M opened and Argent stepped inside.

"Welcome agent, the mission is as follows. Several days ago one of our top chronographers found an anomaly within the time slip and reported it to HQ. After a standard investigation it was determined that someone has been using our tech to try and alter the present as we know it."

"Yeah I know the normal standard stuff, if it was a simple fix job you could have sent anyone. So why call me?" Agent intoned rudely.

"Argent gimme a break, huh? You know I'm supposed to read this stuff as per regs. Jeez man, look all I know is that this is a tag and bag. You know the drill, get in, secure the perps, and bring 'em home. Why they called you is your the best at this stuff and they know it. The destination is Middleton,CO circa 2012, the location and perp descriptions have been downloaded onto your comm unit. Good luck." With that the machine behind Argent powered up and a rift appeared in front of him. He stepped through still wondering why his day off got canceled for a standard tag and bag.

The crisp Autumn night air touched his face as Argent finished stepping trough the time rift. As it closed he swore he had heard something from the other side and then it was gone.

'Right, down to business.' He thought as he pulled the mission specs up on the H.U.D. In his glasses. The location is in the outskirts in a small suburb.

'Huh well I guess they don't want to call attention to themselves. Ok 4 perps 2 male and 2 female. Should be a walk in the park but if things were easy they wouldn't call me out.'

After a bit of staying to the shadows he finally made his way to the street that the house was to be on. He found the house with little trouble, he then put his plan into action. Setting the sound damping devices or "hush bugs" as he called them around the house took him a few minutes. These spiffy little boxes would create a field about the perimeter of the house so that no one outside could hear anything if a fight did break out, they were also especially EMP hardened. After setting the field up he set the EMP up to knock out power to the ΒΌ mile radius of the area. This way he could go in in the dark for the element of surprise. When everything was set he then slowly found his way to the back and scanned the house for what kind of security system it had and let a low whistle out in spite of himself. This was state of the art for his time let alone 27 years old, this just might get fun he mused.

As he got to work disabling the security on the back window he got a feeling that he was being watched but after scanning the area and finding nothing he finally got the window disabled and open. Sneaking in the window he checked his sidearm, standard issue multi function pistol that at the moment was set for tranqs. He could hear the 4 in the other room along with a sound he could not place. Powering down his suits systems he waited for a full minute the set off the EMP, the resulting dark engulfing the area. He powered up his suit as he heard the commotion and smirked.

'Showtime'.

Turning his glasses to IR he broke cover quietly rounding the bin and taking aim at the 4 targets.

3 of them were down, he then saw what was making the sound, a baby. 'No! This wasn't in the intel. Someone is going to get fried when I get back for this!'. His momentary distraction almost cost him his head as a ball of green flame whooshed past it.

"Great a modified, just what I need" he said taking aim at the figure rapidly closing on him.

PHUNT

'She's still coming?' then the figure was on him, her hands lighting up the room in a firey green glow. Dodging the first swipe of her hand he tried to hit her in the chest only to have his ribs suddenly start to feel like they we burning, looking down he wasn't far from the truth of the matter, her other hand having sunk an inch or so into his right side. Seeing this the female came in with the other hand to finish with a blow leveled at his head, he pulled himself free and dodging the second blow fired again at pointblank range.

PHUNT

She stumbled backwards and then fell over out for the count. The room going dark again he let his eyes readjust then went to check and make sure the child was unharmed. In a stroke of luck the child was still in it's crib and unharmed. A message then broke into his comm unit.

"Argent the mission objectives have changed. This no longer a tag and bag, you are to sanitize the area."

'Sanitize? What the hell, I don't do sanitations.'

So lost in thought was he that he didn't see the slow movement of the female getting up behind him. He was still trying to figure out what the hell was going on when the lights came back on. Startled by that he looked at the slumped female in the seat in front of him, noting the red hair almost the same shade as his own. His eyes widened as he looked into the face of someone he never thought he would see again, so befuddled he didn't notice the green glow from behind him until it hit him square in the back of his head. As he fell toward the floor one word escaped his shocked lips loud enough for the figure behind him to hear.

"Mom?"

Then the darkness took him.
