Revelations
"Sorry about that," Andrew Martin's voice rang out in the now silent room.
"Give me that," Hamilton 'Ham' Tyler snapped taking away the laser rifle that had gone off in Andrew's hands.
The resistance members that were there slowly started getting up from where they'd hidden when the laser went off, each one feeling a mixture of anger over being tricked, however accidental, into thinking that the Visitors attacked and relief that the Visitors hadn't in fact returned.
Stephanie rushed over to where Andrew and Ham Tyler were. Geez, Drew, what were you thinking? she asked, glaring intently at him.
"It was an accident," Andrew started to explain, "me and Ham were talking and he was showing me this new toy. I asked if I could hold it for a sec, and it accidentally went off. I didn't mean to cause a panic."
That weapon is not a toy and should not be treated as such! Juliet Parrish - Donovan stated in a loud clear voice that reminded Steph of her mother, Linda, which was a sharp contrast to her father's voice when he was angry. "It should not be used without proper training, especially in a place where innocent people get hurt!"
Ham stepped forward to face Julie. "that is why I wanted to get a place that would allow safety and training," he said in low even tones.
"We are not turning this conference into a training ground!" Julie shot back.
"And what do you propose we fight with? Sticks and Stones? Fine have it your way," Ham raised his voice while keeping it's evenness as he addressed the group assembled, "and what do you propose we do when the Visitors return? Because like it or not, the Visitors are coming back, and we have to be ready for them."
"Just what is that thing anyway?" Stephanie asked gesturing to the weapon that Andrew had set off which now resided on the crock of Ham's elbow.
Ham opened his mouth to speak, when a slightly distorted voice answered for him.
"That is one of the few things that we've been able to derive from our technology for your use."
The "man" that spoke was almost as tall as Michael Donovan. He had light blond hair and crystal clear eyes. Stephanie knew from the reverberation in his voice that this was a member of the Fifth Column, and group of Visitors who disagreed with the polices of their leader and the plans for the humans. They rebelled and aided the humans in their war against their own people, ultimately assisting in mankind's victory over their own people. Some Fifth Columnists, like left Earth to take the fight to the Visitors homeworld in an effort to change things there. Others, like the Visitor standing before Stephanie stayed and adopted Earth as their new home.
"Well, looky who showed up," Ham said, some of his trademark dry sarcasm coming through.
Michael and Julie gave Tyler a look that clearly said 'don't start.' Michael motioned the Visitor over to the assembled group.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Martin. He's one of the Fifth Columnists that aided us in winning the war against his people. He and the others in the Fifth Column have been aiding us in helping unlock Visitor technology and help in preparations in case the Visitors return," Michael said introducing his friend.
"Actually, all we did was provide information on Diana and the other mothership commanders activities. It was you and the rest of humanity that won the war," Martin said sheepishly.
"Hey, who saved my hide on that ship when I was held by Diana? I say I owe you a lot." Michael challenged, smiling brightly. Michael noticed Steph near them. "Martin this is Stephanie McMahon - Helmsley, one of the leaders of the New York resistance."
"Pleasure to meet you," the reverberating voice said as Martin struck out his hand for a handshake.
"Hi," Stephanie bit out, trying not to look outwardly repulsed as she shook Martin's hand. She'd never met a Fifth Columnist face to face and after everything the Visitors had done to her and her family, she'd been perfectly happy to have never met another Visitor as long as she lived. But Martin didn't display any of the arrogance that she'd come to know in most of the Visitor's she'd encountered. She was willing to give Martin at least a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt.
Michael gestured off to Steph's side to Andrew who was trying to shrink into the background. "And the one that started all the fireworks a few moments ago is Andrew."
"How many of these weapons are there?" Stephanie asked pointing to the laser rifle that Ham still held.
"It's a prototype," Ham explained," something that will be effective against the Visitors."
"However," Martin began, "it has yet to be field - tested, especially under battle - ready conditions. We've been working with some of the top technology scientists on your planet, including John Henry Irons of Irons industries and Timothy Drake of Wayne Enterprises, both of whom are expected to attend the conference, to adapt our technology to yours and create some tools that will be needed in the event of my peoples return."
"We'll discuss field testing and possible distribution and training of the weapon during the conference," Julie said giving a pointed look to Ham.
A man walked into the lobby looking impeccably dressed in a gray business suit. His longish dark blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail and blue eyes and fine body made more than a few ladies swoon in his bachelor days. He looked around the room and noticing the charred markings on the walls, stated: "Well, well, well, what happened here? Somebody start the party without me?
The familiarity of the man's voice caused Stephanie to tense up and turn around. Upon laying eyes on the man, she headed straight for him. She then slapped him across the face with such a force and suddenness that it caused the man to topple over with surprise.
"You Son of a Bitch!!!!!" Stephanie hissed.
ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS: The names and future characters of Timothy Drake and John Henry Irons belongs to DC Comics.
I know such a torturous way to end a chapter. If you want to find out who the man Steph slapped is, I need feedback people!!!!
