"Does Carter know there's Failsafe soldiers outside the apartments?" Joey's voice blasted through the comm. He was waiting in the van with Yilvoxe. But so far this was the only sign of movement.
Carter suddenly appeared outside, a piece of the wooden table in his hand. He stared at the Failsafe soldiers, all around him with assault rifles aimed at his body.
"Freeze!" one of them yelled, "I said free-"
Carter chucked the piece of wood at the soldier, knocking him back. Bullets ripped through the sides of his torso, his wounds started healing instantly.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you!" Carter yelled as he charged the soldiers. He gripped one by the neck snapping it quickly. He retrieved the pistol and aimed at the five more soldiers.
Bullets echoed through the streets as Kat, Hawk, and Rolland all fired their weapons at each other. The streets were in utter chaos. Civilians ran to and fro, dodging the bullets, and fire.
Carter, Kat, Hawk, and Rolland dodged to the side. Taking cover from the bullets, and weapons from the soldiers.
Meanwhile, Eddie, and Collin had problems of their own. "Eddie help!" Collin screamed, as one of the Failsafe soldiers had a gun to her head.
Eddie had his knife ready, "Just take it easy..." he said, looking for any possible scenario that didn't involve killing. His heart raced.
"Don't fucking move kid!" the soldier yelled, "I'll shoot her, I swear I'll-"
For a second Eddie didn't think, he didn't think of anything, he just reacted. The knife jumped from his hands, and made it's way to the throat of the soldier.
The soldier gurgled and collapsed to the floor, his body shaking. Collin squealed as the soldier dropped dead in front of her.
Eddie couldn't think, he ran to Collin, "Come on..." Eddie said, we gotta get to Carter.
"I'm out!" Kat yelled, her pistol out of ammo.
"Me too." Rolland snarled. He was laying down behind the staircase right next to Kat. It was just outside the apartments, so cover was scarce.
"Last mag!" Hawk yelled charging his M4. "Carter, can you..." Hawk started yelling, but noticed that Carter wasn't there. "You guys seen Carter?" Hawk asked.
The four soldiers dropped to reload. Carter was sneaking behind them, his knife in hand. Carter waited for the first soldier to finish reloading, and then slammed the knife into his neck. He grabbed the assault rifle with his left hand, and fired it into the two on his left side.
The soldier on his right went to fire his weapon, but Hawk shot him down from behind the staircase. The last soldier managed to slam an elbow into Carter knocking him back. Carter reacted by grabbing his skull, and slamming it against his own. The soldier crumpled to the floor.
"Let's go!" Carter yelled. He waved his hand to Rolland, Kat, Hawk, Eddie, and Collin. Carter bolted the van, and threw open the doors, "Joey start the van!" he yelled.
Joey turned the key to the ignition, and the teammates piled in. The tires screeched as Joey slammed on the gas to the van.
"What happened?" Joey asked.
Carter cocked his pistol, and stared out the window, "They killed him."
"Killed who?" Yilvoxe asked.
"Jared!" Carter snapped at her, "They got to Jared." Carter sighed, "He's gone."
"Damn." Joey exhaled.
"Right now we need to keep driving, and keep low, nobody makes a move unless I-"
Carter was cut off by the car that slammed into the passenger side. The van flipped, overturning down the street. The van skidded, and laid in ruins, smoke coming from the engine, glass littered the streets in a path to the destroyed vehicle.
The soldiers in the car hopped out and ran to the van.
Carter sprawled out in front of the van, his face bloodied, and broken, he couldn't see. He felt his body healing. But still couldn't focus.
"Take him!" one of the soldiers yelled. The Failsafe soldier shot Carter through the head, and then everything went black.
Destination: Unknown.

Jemima sat in front of a cell. She bounced a ball against the wall, and back to her hand. "I can't believe you thought you could outrun Failsafe." she chuckled.
Carter's teammates all sat in a cell, Carter however was absent. "Where are we?" Joey asked, cradling his left hand.
The accident had injured majority of them, but nothing fatally serious. "You're in Failsafe's quarters." Jemima chuckled as she stood up. "You might as well be dead."
"Where's Carter?" Kat nearly yelled, "You tell me what you've done with him!"
"Oh he's very much alive...but by now, he's probably wishing he was dead." Jemima chuckled. "Your teammate Luis gave us more then enough information." she said.
"Luis..." Hawk raised an eyebrow, "No...Spectacular?" he yelled, "What did you do to him?" Hawk snarled.
"It's not what we did to him..." Jemima laughed evilly, "It's what he did for us." she smiled at the teammates in the cell.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Rolland yelled, "What do you mean what he did for you, what exactly are you getting at!?"
"Oh you'll find out..." Jemima said as she walked to the end of the room, "You'll find out very soon..." she chuckled.
The door slammed behind her, leaving the seven in a dimly lit room, alone.

Carter blearily opened his eyes, his head throbbed with pain. But one thing that he noticed the most...was that he was bleeding...
Carter looked down at his ribs and noticed that he had a long gash, "What the hell?" he raised an eyebrow staring at the wound.
"Surprised?" Williams' voice echoed through the cell. "You haven't had a wound that inhibited you for sometime, have you?"
"What the fuck did you do to me?' Carter snarled as he held his side.
"We gave you exactly what you wanted..." Williams smiled, "We cured you."
Carter looked at his hands, he wasn't as pale as usual, he was cut, and his hair had grown slightly, no cancer, no health factor, human.
"Why...why would you heal me?" Carter asked. He was confused, his enemy had just healed him. But for what motives.
"You see Carter in order to break you...we have to cure you..." Williams said, "We can't have a solider running around that has cancer, and amnesia."
"What are you talking about?" Carter snarled, "And where the hell is my team?!" Carter yelled. His whole demeanor demanded answers.
"You'll learn in time Carter, in time." Williams chuckled, as she left the room he was being held in. Carter watched her leave.
I don't understand. Carter thought, how did I heal, how did she, heal me? There's no logical explanation...unless...
Carter stared at his ribs, "I'm dreaming." Carter said aloud. "I have to be dreaming." he said.

You know that moment, that one moment when you can't hear anything but the ringing of your ears, and the sound of your own heart? That's what was happening right now.
"I can't wake him up!" Hawk yelled. His armor was slightly cracked in some areas, and somewhat broken, but he was okay.
Carter laid sprawled out in front of them, unconscious as far as the team could tell. His body was healing at an extremely slower rate than usual.
"We need to get out of here now!" Collin yelled, she seemed to use her Lust form the most, and that's the one she was in now.
"Were sitting ducks!" Kat yelled over the gunfire. The car crash had stunned most of them, but Carter took the majority of the hit. The teammates all had a lot higher resistance to being crushed, especially due to Yilvoxe's ice shield she had put up just before the accident. But carter wasn't in the car, he had flown out the windshield, and slammed into the asphalt.
"Okay, Kat, you take Carter to safety, Rolland and I will provide cover. Yilvoxe, Joey, you two head back to the Safe House, destroy everything, we need to go off the radar, and fast." Hawk instructed, quickly taking action. "And Collin, and Eddie, you two get us...a car..."
"Why am I always on car duty?" Eddie complained, "It's always, Eddie drive here. or..Hey Eddie time to go this way. Or No, Eddie, take this exit. Or-"
"Eddie!" Hawk yelled, "No, time to argue when bullets are missing my face by inches, go!" Hawk ordered.
"Fine..." Eddie sighed.

Carter stretched out his fingers, the, 'A' he had tattooed into his palm wasn't there, so he knew that he was...in some sort of a dream like state, but he didn't know how. "Hello?" Carter yelled. But he received no answer.
"When is the last time you had a good night's rest soldier boy?" An extremely familiar voice spoke from behind Carter.
Carter turned to face the man, "Jared?" Carter raised an eyebrow. Was he really dreaming?

Jemima ejected the bullet from her sniper rifle, and hopped from roof top to roof top, "Williams, this is Jemima, I have a confirmed hit on Carter, the gene splice should be taking effect right now, he already seems to be slipping into a coma." Jemima said to Williams through her headset.
"Very good Jemima." Williams smiled, "And the rest of his team?" Williams asked.
"They unharmed, just like the deal was settled upon." Jemima said, making a swirly motion with her hand signaling the soldiers to fall back and regroup.
"Ah, I see." Williams said, "Fall back for now...I have more work for you to do." Williams ordered. Her voice had that sort of tone that could give any confident man a nervous stomach.
"Yes ma'am." Jemima said, "Failsafe, fall back!" she yelled.
"Right away ma'am." one of the soldiers yelled, as he started to flee. "Let's go soldiers, fall back!" he yelled to his teammates.
The Failsafe soldiers nodded, and immediately started moving back.
"They're falling back..." Rolland noted, "Hawk, they're falling back, what do we do?" Rolland asked him.
Hawk clicked his teeth from beneath his helmet, "Let's get to Eddie, and Collin, retrieve some sort of vehicle, and then get the hell out of here!"
Rolland nodded.
It would be a very long night.
(A/N) Hello my fellow followers, and readers. I apologize for the lack of updating. I have no excuses, just that I've been feeling a little down lately, lazy as well. But alas, I found a way to get my butt out of bed, and write some more. I was gonna just go right on ahead and continue the normal plot that I have, but then I was like, "Why the fuck shouldn't I add all these deleted scenes, it may take time, but there's more character building, and more angst to the story!" So, I hope it doesn't feel drawn out, there will be some loose ends tied up. Such as, Where Luis is, Why Carter fell into a coma, Yilvoxe and Joey ;) and some more that I won't spoil for you guys. Anyways, don't forget to review, stay awesome, and I will catch you when I update next time!
Cheers,
DantesClover
