(In Providence)
Caesar Salazar sat at a table with a bunch of junk in front of him in Providence, trying to build a type of brain inter-active construct. He called it the B.I.A.C. but the others called it Brainiac, like the villain from Superman. The 28-year-old man stopped working to gaze at a certain beautiful brunette with soft, emerald eyes. He swooned for Doctor Holiday but then again, who didn't? Rex flirted with her and always failed while Agent Six had a better chance than the brothers. He actually cracked a smile around her!
Sighing, he picked up a screw driver but before he could get back to work, a scream sounded! He turned around in his seat, curious but in a flash, someone with a clawed hand grabbed him with a tissue pressed to Caesar's face. Easily gasping it in, the young man passed out in his captor's arms.
The captor wore a black hat with a rip in the front for his hazel eyes, torn jeans with a green tail hanging out and swishing around as he also wore a white T-shirt that had more rips around mud stains. Apparently, he wasn't the richest kid in the U.S. but he wore a golden chain around his neck so where'd he get that?
"Mantis, target acquired!" he called to his accomplice who was fighting off the guards.
"Acquire this!" Caesar's captor was turned around and punched by a certain Agent Rex.
The young man stumbled a little but his tail quickly helped him regain his balance and he punched Rex back. He grabbed the 16-year-old by the neck and with his claws; he slashed deep into Rex's chest! Blood sprayed out at the attacker as the Hispanic teen fell back, screaming in pain. Smirking under the mask, he picked up Caesar over his shoulder. For a young man, he was very strong.
"Mantis, out!" he called as he dashed out with his accomplice running beside him.
The accomplice wore the same type of mask with brown eyes peering out, a green T-shirt, and jean but what was unnatural about him was that his hands turned into green scythes like a mantis.
"You spilled blood on you, are you sure Aden won't notice at all?" the brown eyed, Mantis, one felt paranoid.
"I'll just tell Aden its animal blood" the other shrugged.
Once the two were out, Mantis sprouted what looked like four very large bee-wings and flew extremely fast with his partner holding on to him. In a matter of minutes, they flew to the far woods with Caesar until Mantis finally dropped to the ground, exhausted. As the teen panted on the ground, his partner took out hand cuffs they stole from a guard and cuffed the Hispanic's hands behind his back.
"You okay enough to walk?" he asked the teen.
"Caleb, this sixteen-year-old ain't down yet!" the bug-boy laughed.
With wing retracting back into his back and his body aching, Mantis struggled to his feet to walk back to camp with Caleb. The woods, as usual, were filled with chirps and screeches but this didn't bother either of them. It was the crazy city they hated. The two slipped off their masks, revealing that Mantis was a brunette with a smooth face and Caleb was a redhead with freckles.
Finally, they reached the camp and were greeted by the twins, Robin and Rona. Robin had brown hair, completely black eyes, and feathers poking out of his skin, brown-feathered wings on his back, a red shirt and worn-out jeans. Rona didn't have any hair unless you call scales along the back of her head and along her body "hair". She had eyes like Dren from Splice, fangs, nail-less fingers, could merge her leg together to form a tail, a dark blue T-shirt and a matching skirt. The eight-year-old girls looked nothing alike but they always had a connection.
"Hey, Caleb and Ian (Mantis' real name), who's that?" the girls pointed to Caesar.
"Someone Aden's been looking for, for a long time" Ian answered as he helped Caleb get the man of his shoulder.
When he hit the ground, Caesar started to mumble with his face changing expressions, he was waking up.
"Is that human blood on your chest?" Rona asked Caleb.
Robin gasped, "Oh no, Aden's going to kill you!" she was completely serious.
"I don't want you to die!" the girls squealed, throwing their arms around the young man.
"Where am I?" Caesar looked around, dazed.
"Who is this?" the girls turned their attention to the Hispanic man.
"Interesting, I always thought the forms evos would take would be random but this is far from the random I've seen!" the man finally came to his senses. "When you untie me, may I take some samples?"
The twins gave the man a strange look and turned to Caleb, "How hard did you drop him on his head?"
"Okay, that incident with Cub was an accident and I almost dropped him but I did catch him!" the redhead brought up.
"What's going on here? Cub's sleeping so keep it down" a girl about 17 or 18 years old walked up to them, not noticing Caesar.
The girl had long, silver bunny ears lying down on the sides of her head, silver stripes in her black hair, nice blue eyes, Hispanic skin, a fluffy, silver rabbit tail, a blue shirt, worn out jeans and a one-year-old in her arms. She was very thin, like the others but the cubby baby wasn't.
The baby, Cub, had black skin, hair growing out with some fur, a black bear-nose, round, furry bear-ears and a small outfit with some spit-up food on the chest.
"Caleb…who's blood is that?" her eyes slightly widen at the sight.
"Animal, we got hungry" he kept a straight face.
She inspected him with her eyes, "But you eat bugs and he eats leaves" she corrected and repeated "Whose blood is that?"
"We ran into trouble" he sighed, shifting his weight.
Robin and Rona sat down near Caesar, watching the two as if they were watching a soap-opera on TV as Robin ate a handful of squirming worms.
"Caleb, you know I'm against murder" she argued, trying to keep her voice down for Cub.
"It wasn't murder, the guy's probably still alive and why do you care? Humans are the reason why we're like this!" he yelled, causing Cub to wake up and scream.
"Now look what you did!" she yelled back and tried to calm the baby but he still screamed louder.
"Just let him cry it out, he's got to learn some time that people won't always be there to calm him down" Caleb screamed at her as well.
Finally giving up, the teen handed the baby to her favorite care-taker, Ian. He walked away from the shouting people to a quiet place in the camp.
"If no one's going to be there for Cub, then I will be! You're the one that would just abandon him because you just can't stand him. If you're not going to live with us then get the hell out of my god damn camp!" she screamed, pointing away.
"You know, I should have led this camp. If you had just shut up and followed me, we wouldn't have these many problems and instead of feeding that little monster, we would have eaten him!"
They kept stepping closer and closer until they were completely in each other's face, screaming insults. Meanwhile, Caesar asked how long have their fighting been going on.
"Before when we were tested on in a lab, they had to have cages far from each other or they would throw things at each other. If they were put together, they would have maimed each other to death. Now that they have to live together, they tried to stop fighting so this is pretty much like a lover's spat" Rona smiled up at him.
"They are so into each other but they just don't know it yet" Robin added. "Wait a second; you're Caesar Salazar, right?"
"Si, why do you ask?"
"You're Aden's dad" the girls squealed.
"Who's Aden?" the man asked, confused.
The teenaged girl whirled around and glared at them, still furious as she spoke, "I'm Aden Salazar!"
(Well, WaterJeweler14, these are the real answers. Aden is Caesar's daughter, she was looking for him, they were all tested on in a lab so they're probably NOT evos-just humans spliced with animals-, the camp is their home and stay tuned next time for an all new and exciting episode of "ADEN"!)
