Say Hello to Volts and Bulldozer





"Okay Jack! Take er' down!" Cried a voice. Blue eyes, glinting with laughter, nodded. Placing his hands on the building, he allowed his powers to talke over and dominate. His whole body shook as the building shook, quivered and dust sprayed from the windows. Then, the building quivered and collapsed. Coughing, the teenager stumbled out of the rubble and burst out laughing. "That's the 50 building this month!"His father cried. Laughing heartly, Jack Jolow's face went blank. Something was up. He could feel it in his bones. "Jack? Is something wrong?"His father asked. He nodded. "Dad, I think I have to go. Somethings' wrong. I know it."He replied. His father's usually happy face, instantly faulted. "No, Jack. No. This is about the war. You don't have a good enough grasp yet on your powers. I refuse to let you go. No."He said. Jack, for the first time in his life, felt supreme anger toward his loving father. "I have to dad! I have to. I just feel like I have to go. I know I'm needed. Just, put the jobs on hold for a little while...okay?"He asked. His father nodded. "Alright Jack. Now rememeber everything I taught you, alright son?"He asked. Jack nodded and scuffed his steel-toed boots against the pavement. His father thrust the keys to the rusty pickup. "Goone then. Follow that instinct or what ever it is then."He replied. Embracing his father for what seemed like the last time, he climbed into the car, and left.



Anya sighed and fell back into her chair. It was 11:30 at night, and she was bushed. Not only that, she was getting sick again. "Another cold. Another week of sneezing like crazy." She sighed. It was about a week ago and no new mutants, and no new attacks, which was odd. Fighting back a yawn, a cup of a steaming liquid was shoved under her nose. "Here, drink this."came a voice. Looking up, she saw Kess. Taking the cup, she looked at him suddenly. "Your not gonna try and kill me or anythin' are ya?" She asked. He shook his head. "It's not coffee, don't worry. Your brother said you can't have caffienne after 8:00."He replied. Drinking a sip, she smiled, "tastes like strawberries. How'd ya make it?" She asked. "That's my secret."He replied. Fighing back another yawn, Anya fell back into her chair. "What's it like?" Came Kess's voice again. Struggling to keep her eves open, she gazed at him. "Say what?" She inquired. "To have family.".



Jack followed his heart and his head. With every mile he got closer to where he needed to be, he felt his powers grow stronger. Then he saw it. It looked like a elementary school. But the feeling in his head told him to go there.

Anya jumped as the sound of a car, in dire need of a tune up could be heard. "Who's there?" She inquired harshly, but her voice was obviously showing signs of fatigue and sickness. "Mabye it's Bottomless, ready to hang up the white flag."Kess joked. Anya rolled her eyes. "I understand why I'm here. I know why I'm here."Jack called through the door. Kess growled slightly. "It's okay. I don't smell any fear on him. He's clean.". Anya looked quizzically at him. "Where do you get this stuff?"She whisprered. He shrugged and grinned. Cracking open the adamantium door an inch or so, she peered out. What she saw was a pair of blue eyes looking back to her. "Hi...umm...I guess you know why I'm here then huh?"Jake shrugged. "If your here to rip out the guts of the thing that killed my mom and dad, you on my side, if your here to to that to me, your in MAJOR trouble."Anya warned. Smiling, he just shook his head and sighed. "I'm not here to kill. Trust me."He sighed. Nodding, Anya broke out into a yawn. Tom appeared from a door way deep down the hall. "More arrive Anyie?"He asked softly. She nodded. "Go back to bed big bro." She quipped. Walking inside, Jake looked around. "What's this all about anyway?". Anya sighed. "There's a war going on incase you haven't noticed."Kess pointed out. Rolling her blue eyes, Anya said, "either your with us, or your against us. If your against us, I'll burn your eyeballs out of your head. If your with us, you can stay. Easy as that."Anya groaned. Jack was slightly taken aback. "Are you coming in?" Asked a voice. Jerking out of his thoughts, he saw Anya standing there in the dark doorway, her hands on her hips. "What?" He asked her, eyeing the area behind her. Kess growled slighty under his breath. "I SAID, are you coming in?" She repeated. She was getting agitated again. The fatigue and annoyance of the latest attacks left her drained. "Uhhh, yeah, I'm in."Jack replied and walked in. "Yeah yeah, this is the main room. It's where pretty much everything is. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and wake up my brother from the eternal Hell we mutants call Life."Anya muttered. As she stomped down the hall, she was out of hearing range. "What's her problem anyway?" Jake asked. Kess groaned. "She's only been without sleep for about seventy two hours, staring at a monitor all night, worried insane about the well being of what's going to happen. She's only battling the worst cold that she's ever had. Yeah, I think she has a big problem!"Kess cried. Jack took a step back. "Kess! Please. Mind your temper a bit. We need all the help we can get. Please, Kess. We----"Anya sentence was never finished. Her face paled, and her knees buckled. As she fell to the floor. Upon hearing the thud, Tom came running out. "What happened?"He cried. Jake and Kess both came over as fast as they could. Grazing his fingertips against his little sister's forhead, he yanked them back. "Her fever! We have to get it down. Now!" Tom cried.

New York City, America.

The sent of a cherry lollipop was heavy on his breath. A delicate face laced with feminie features. Electric blue eyes, framed and rimmed in navy eyeliner flickered around the scene. Feet incased in shoes, and black hair moved as one. Dalkny Andrews was here. Fianally in NYC. The ticking in his brain was almost over powering! Walking through, he sided his backpack holding the few things he owned to the other shoulder. He walked suddenly passed a semi large throng of boys. A sudden, rough hand on his thin shoulder spun him around and was face to face with a tough looking boy with intense green eyes. "You lookin for somethin?" He inquired harshly. Speechless, Dalk nodded. He swallowed the bile creeping up his throat. "I was wondering if you could tell me which bus went straight to New Jersey." He asked. His voice had a perticular tone to it that didn't sound right. He was a bisexual. This is what almost ALWAYS got him into trouble at home, back in London. A sudden jerk on the shoulder. "Lookie here boys! We got ourselves a Fruit Cake here! A little British Crumpet! Fag! Queer even!"His harasser chided. He felt his fingertips tingle and burn. 'Oh no. Oh Lord not now. Now with all these people here!'. He thought. "Hey Queer Boy! Watcha gonna do now?! Gonna go back home to the lap a' luxury!?"Cried his tormentor. Poor Dalk lost it. His hands, mainly his palm, sprung up to quick attention. A blast of electircity, or rather, just powerful energy, soared from his palms, and sent the boy reeling.



"Anyie? Anya can you hear me? Anya!". No response. "Mabye we should get her to her room? It might help by getting her off the cold floor." Jake put in helpfully. Tom looked up and glared hard at his pale face. "I'm starting to like you, kid."He remarked. Scooping his little sister into his arms, he ran down the hall to her room. It seemed pretty normal. A bed, a bookcase, a dresser. Sure, a few personal items that Kess would rather not see, but it looked like a normal teen's room. Setting down his sister he looked at the two other males in the room nervously. "This isn't looking too good here, Tom. How long has she been like this?" Kess asked.



Bayville

"This is as far as I'm goin' kid. That theres' a war zone! You sure that your gonna go in there?" Asked the taxi driver. Nodding, he paid the man, and as he did, he revealed his burned palms. He froze. Oh God! He had recharged and burned himself again!

*Flashback*

Panting, Dalk ran as fast as he could away from the boys. He had shocked three out of the six, and he was feeling about to pass out. Then he saw one the plane stations many vending machines. Yes, vending machines have electricty! Hurrying over, making it look like he was just going to buy a soda. Walking over he placed his hands over the side panel and almost immedaitly, the electricity began to flow. But it was silent. He tore his eyes open and pretended to lean against the machine. Fianally, he could hold no more. Wrenching his palms away from the machine, he looked at the severity of the burns. They were like usuall, burned and bleeding. As he walked away, he heard someone scream, "mutant!". Whirling around, he saw a small group of adults. "It's a mutant! It's going to kill us all! I say we kill it first!" cried a man. His eyes widening, he jammed his hands into his pockets, and tore out the door.

"Taxi! I need a taxi, now!" He cried. One pulled up. "Where too kid?" He asked. He seemed nice enough. "Can you drive outta state?" Dalk asked. "Yeah, but just to the shore."He replied. Dalk looked nervous. The people were beginning to catch up. "Good. Then Bayville New Jersey. Hurry!"He cried. The man floored it, and sped off.

*End Flashback*



His eyes widended as the man took his hand into his own, and looked at it. Did he know? "Kid, did you hurt yourself or somethin'?"He asked. Nodding furiously, he thanked the man and ran off in a flash. Sprinting to the biggest building, he ran to it.



Jake watched nervously as Tom mopped his little sisters' forehead. "Isn't there anything I can do to help?"He asked. Kess shook his head. "No. Now just go watch the monitor to see if anyone shows shows up.". As if on a sudden cue, there was a frantic beeping the echoed through the entire building. "Here comes another one!"Tom suddenly shouted anxiously. Then the side door of the strong hold rattled. "Go and see if you can figure out who that is!"Kess growled lightly.



Jogging into the room, he looked around. He didn't want to open the door, though. What if it was Bottomless?! Looking around at the extensive control panel, he gulped. Anya made it look so easy! Then his eye caught a series of switches marked 'Camera 1-9'. 'Camera One must be on the outside door.' he thought. Flipping up that switch, instantly came the outside view on the screen infront of him. A joystick popped out from a panel, and he let his right hand fall on it. Directing down, he saw a figure banging on the thick door. Hitting the button labled 'Unlock Main Door', it flung open. A boy ran in. "Thank God!"He gasped. Jake jumped back a few inches. Dalk leaned over, and saw a garbage can, and promptly threw up. "Hey, you gonna be okay?"Jake asked as he walked over to Dalk's side. Wiping his mouth, Dalk looked up and smiled. "Yeah, I'm gonna be fine."He replied. Jake smiled, "what's your name?" He asked. This boy looked mabye a little younger than him. "Dalkny Andrews."He replied, then he locked eyes Jake and the older reared back slightly. "Your eyes really that color?"He asked. Dalk nodded and smiled as he looked into the mirror on the wall, at his electric blue eyes. "Always have and always been. Well, at least since I got my powers..."He smiled. Kess suddenly came running out and cried, "She's waking up!". Then he stopped, arched an eyebrow at Dal, and rolled his eyes, "goody."was all he could say. The trio walked into the room and they saw Tom sitting at Anya's side. "Who's this?"Tom asked, raising his head. "This is Dalkny Andrews."Jake said with a gesture. "Call me Dalk.". Anya raised her head up off her pillow, and smirked weakly. "So, now we've got a guy that can rock the house, a were-man-wolf, my brother's a human shockbox, and now we've got--" "Another shockbox." Inturrupted Dal. Anya sighed, "Got a codename?". Dalk shook his head, "nope.". She giggled. "How about.....Volts?"She asked. Dal nodded, "sounds good.".
