Chapter 4

I woke in the middle of the night. Rex was snoring beside me. I stood up. Man, it's dark in here. As soon as I thought that, my eyes adjusted so that the night seemed as bright as the beginning of a sunset. Nanites. Again. Well, it's time to be nosy. I grabbed my sunglasses (just in case some one decides to cut the lights on on me) and started down the hall.

This place is flippin' scary at night. Makes you think of the monsters you used to be scared of when you were 5.

I walked on. I could entertain myself in Doc's lab...nah I might burn the whole place down. As much as I'd love to do that I'm not going to.

...I AM SO F***ING BORED!

I started to daydream. I thought about what my mom's spirit said to me. What did she mean by watch out for my uncle? I didn't even know I had an uncle! This just doesn't make any sense! She coulda at least told me his name! I mean, really? I facepalmed. I need some fresh air. I went back to our room and grabbed my black turtleneck and a pair of black pants out of the chest. I scurried as quietly as I possibly could to the bathroom and changed clothes. I left my old clothes in the room.

...

Once outside, I looked around. Nothing interesting. Do they like isolation around here? You'd have to have a pretty warped mind to build something like this all the way out here...

Now, what can I do out here? I really wish I could fly or something like that right now...something just came out of my back and it felt weird. I glanced back. I had these huge black scaly bat wings. Cool! But I don't know how to fly...oh well! Might as well learn while I got them.

I stretched my wings. I lifted them up and brought them back down powerfully. I was snapped into the air. I wobbled, scaring the living crap outta me. I got a hold of myself and pushed forward. I moved forward a couple of yards. Pushing harder, I rose around 30 feet, growing more confident in my flight skills. I tilted one of my wings a little, causing me to turn sharply to the left.
"Whoa! OK, lets take this nice and slow..." I angled my body in such a way that I could fly more easily. I used my arms to help keep balance in the air.

Hey, this is starting to become more natural to me. To feel the wind in my face...to be as light as a feather...to be high above the ground without fear...

I opened my eyes and found myself gliding in the air, drifting on warm thermals. I expected fear to race through my mind but I wasn't the slightest bit scared. My mind was even at a strange peace. That doesn't happen very often to me, either. The sun had already begun to rise. I stopped in the air and hovered in front of our wonderful star. My face began to warm in the orange light. I stared smiling at the gentle pink and red clouds now closer than ever. I was in the perfect world. I stayed there for possibly hours enjoying the peace and freedom.

A voice snatched me out of my own little world and I looked down. Rex, Bobo, and Six were stand far below me.

I reluctantly flew down to them and landed, keeping my wings.

"Eva, we have a mission." Six turned and walked towards one of the parked jets. I looked at Rex, whose eyes were slightly red.

"You OK, sleepy head?" I asked him.

"Just a bit tired."

"Hey, no one asked me if I was OK!" Bobo complained.

"Well that's because I didn't want your opinion." I retorted. Rex snickered. Bobo looked like he was about to say something else but decided against it.

"So, what will we be doing on this mission?" I asked Six once we were in the air.

"Taking down an EVO in a densely populated suburban area." He said emotionlessly. It must take alot to get him to show any type of emotion.

I walked back to my seat and sat down. Rex was looking at me strangely.

"What?"

"You look like a ninja."

Ok...didn't see that coming. "Oh, really?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if you had some kind of hidden weapon like aggro-nanny over there. Speaking of him, does his...stoic-ness ever bother you?"

I tilted my head to the side. "No it doesn't."

"Why?"

"Well for one he saved my life and that you never know what he's been through in life."

"Hm, never thought of it that way."

"What would make you ask that?"

"It bothers me to no end sometimes."

"We're here." Six said from up front. We touched down and the hatch opened. All four of us walked out onto the street. The street appeared to be once busy, with all the cars in the lanes. But all of them were abandoned, with doors left open. A few people stood on the sidewalk glaring at us. I ignored them.

"So What are we waiting on?" I watched Rex form his mechanical fists. SIx grabbed a tight hold of his katanas and Bobo pulled a pair o fbig red blasters from behind him. Remembering the form I had when I was fighting the deer EVOs, I concentrated and felt myself shift and fall onto alll fours. Flexing my wings, I braced myself.

A few moments went by. Nothing happened. Maybe there was nothing here.

BOOM!

On second thought, maybe there was!

A giant dog-like EVO landed in front of us from out of nowhere. Its teeth were too long for its mouth so they jutted in all directions like an anglerfish. Its purple "fur" waved around like short tentacles. Its paws looked like slimely frog feet. The thing had no tail and no ears.

D*mn.

Before even Six could move, I leaped forward, growling loudly. The EVO snarled at me. It was more like a deep sounding staticy TV.

I slashed at it with all my might. Only one claw connected and even worse it didn't even draw any blood.

The EVO smacked me sending me into a brick wall. I heard 2 voices yell my name in unison. I heard the clear sound of katanas slicing through the air and the pounding of metal. Okay, this is really starting to piss me off! I sprang up and raced forward. This time I flew into the air with great speed. I zoomed past Six, Rex, and Bobo. I flew right up into its face and I clawed at it again. I missed and ended up having a palm pressed against its broad forehead.

Time seemed to slow down. I sensed something inside of the great beast...like something inside of it was protesting my will! I'll fix that soon enough. I concentrated, trying to push my own will over its will. Then I felt it sort of shrinking back, perhaps temporarily shutting down. I was brought back into reality. I took my hand (or paw which ever you like) The EVO was motionless, like some kind of weird statue.

"Rex, cure it." I heard Six say.

"Oh, uh, right." Rex responded. He walked over and pressed both hands on the EVO's forearm. Blue streams that looked a whole lot like circuits ran up the creatures arm. It started to shrink down to nothing but a 4 year old boy. He moaned and sat up. He caught sight of me and a smile formed on his face.

"You're a dragon!" He said in a high-pitched voice. Six slid his katanas back up his sleeves. Bobo smirked at the ackward scene. I crouched so that I was eye level with the kid.

"Hey, where's your mom?" I asked in a gentler than intended voice.

He pointed to one of the only undamaged house in the area. "That's where me and Mommy live!"

I shifted back to original form and grabbed the boy's hand. "C'mon. I'll take you to your mom. By the way what's your name?"

"I'm Luis! What's yurs?"

We walked up to the front door of the house and I rang the doorbell. "I'm Eva."

A stressed young woman opened the door. The kid let go of my hand and ran over to his mother, hugging her legs.

"Thank you so much for saving my little boy. How can I ever repay you?" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.

"No need to. I did it because it was right, not for pay." I turned and began walking towards the jet.

Just as I was about to board, the kid yelled my name. "Bye Eva!"

I turned and waved before walking up the hatch. The other three were already on board. Rex and Bobo were looking at me strangely.

"What?"

Bobo smirked. "Didn't know ya were good with kids."

"Me neither." Rex agreed. The jet started up and we were in the air soon after.

"More of a girl thing that even I don't understand." I started fidgeting with my hair. Nervous tick.

"Why do you do that?"

"When you grow your hair out, which isn't likely, then you'll understand."

Bobo cut in, "You got enough hair for the both of you all."

"Don't make me bite you."

"You ain't got the teeth for it."

"Ya think that's gonna stop me?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Sometimes I wonder whether or not your the usual savage EVO." Bobo shook his head.

"You say that as if I'm not human."

Rex spoke up this time. "That's because you aren't human."

"What makes you say that? I still have DNA that tells that I am human. And you are too, like it or not."

"Oh I forgot to give you this earlier." He handed me this ear piece. I placed it in my ear.

The rest of the ride was spent in a rather choking silence. At last we landed, making my ears pop.

...

In Doc's lab, Holiday ran a few tests on Rex and I. I swung my legs around since they didn't even touch the floor.

Holiday walked over to me and shone a bright light in my eyes to examine them. Then she jumped back. What now?

"What?"

"Your pupils are thin slits now and your irises are a golden brown."

"Eva, look at me." Rex said. I turned my head to look at him.

"Wow that is so cool!"

Holiday continued the tests. "Anything interesting happen today? I heard it was your first mission."

"Well I managed to keep an enormous EVO from moving at all." She looked at me, interested.

"And something temporarily shut its nanites down." Rex added.

"Did you have any physical contact with the EVO?" Holiday questioned.

"Yeah. When I touched it, time seemed to slow and I sensed something protesting against my own will inside it."

"You were able to shut down the nanites of that EVO...!" She gasped slightly. She held up a needle. Not again!

"Let me take your blood this time. I'm sure you have more control over your abilities now." I let her stick me with that needle and draw blood. Then she stuck Rex with a different needle. A few minutes went by and just swung my legs some more. Soon she turned back around with a shocked expression on her face.

"Eva, your nanites are more complete than normal EVOs but not as complete as Rex's."

"I take it that's good." I pulled a ponytail holder out of my pocket (I don't even know how that got in there!) and put my hair in a low ponytail. I left a bang of hair to hang over my right eye. Then a big TV screen turned on and the same guy in white appeared. Still had that cold look on his face.

"All of you, get in the briefing room, now. Agent Six will be waiting for you there." Then it went off.

...

"So what is it that you need White?" Rex asked casually. White glared at him. I can just see the electricity!

"...I want to commend our newest member on her performance during her first mission." Here we go again, talking like I'm invisible!
"I wanted to give her directions but someone forgot to give her the ear piece." More glaring at Rex.

A link showed up on the screen that looked like a international news report.

"Does Providence have a new weapon working for them? Witnesses have reported seeing a dragon-like EVO, or monster as some call it, fighting alongside Providence's well known weapon. After "curing" the rampaging EVO, whole turned out to be a toddler, the dragon actually turned into a teenage girl." They began showing footage of me in the entire fight and walking the kid home. The news reporter kept talking as the video went on.
"She walked the child home and boarded a Providence jet. The child's mother was however just relieved to have her son back.
The kid's mom then spoke. "I don't care if an EVO saved my child or not I'm just glad he's safe. You will never know how glad I am that she came to help."

"Well that was the most positive thing anyone has ever really said about Providence. They didn't show any of my awesomeness, though." Rex commented, a little dissappointed. Six arched an eyebrow.

"You have done remarkably well for a beginner. You teach a thing or two to your comrad. You both are dissmissed."

...

"Well that was the highest compliment I've ever heard come outta the boss." Rex said as he sat down to play some video games in our room.. That sounds like a good idea right now but I'm supposed to be doing homework ;)

I settled down with my journal. I paused for a moment and looked over at Bobo, who was polishing his blasters. No he wouldn't take my journal, again. And if he does, he won't live to regret it. I wrote down the day's events with detail. Hours passed, and it got pretty late. I changed in the ladies' room and retired for the night. Not too long after my head hit the pillow, I began to dream.

A man in a slightly tattered brown trench coat had his back to me. He had something like a gold mechanical hand for his left one by his side. The scenery around it would be one you'd expect to see in an old abandoned castle.
There were some strange thick vines twisting up into the air in front of the man with the metal hand. I looked at the very top of the vines to see someone being held in them. He was glaring hard at the man with the metal hand. Metal Hand only smirked and began speaking in words I could not hear. I looked back at the man in the vines. I saw a worn name tag on his shirt.

Dr. Daniel Bluestone.

Uncle.

Can anyone guess what she's dreaming about? I'll reveal the answer in later chapters! ;)

Oh and my kitten, Joule, says hi. X3
