Disclaimer: Due to the fact that Karr and Nick still belong to Gryph, I'm still letting everyone know. Iman belongs to ... someone. Many thanks to Chryss for Bata reading this. Thanks to the person who sent me the theme.
Chapter 4: Invisible Man
There once was a story
about a guy who could turn invisible. I thought it was just a story, until it
happened to me.
Ok so here's how it works there's this stuff called Quicksilver that can bend
light some scientists made it into a synthetic gland, and that's where I came
in.
See I was facing life in prison and they were looking for a human experiment.
So we made a deal, they put the gland in my brain I walk free, the operation
was a success--that's when everything started to go wrong--
Everyone set back and looked at one another in apparent shock. According to Nick's story, he and Karr had been DC on an 'assignment', when they had been forced to stop by an old Van, apparently from Fish and Game. The van cut them off, Karr tried to go around it, when he noticed the passenger side door open and close. He mentioned it to Nick, who wanted to investigate further. While Nick drove Karr around the van Karr ran scans around the van. He found a cold area in the form of a human, apparently moving after a person. They would have investigated further, but a call came in from Michael and they had to abandon their search.
Now TKR would take over.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Duke asked.
"We need you to find out what the anomaly was." Michael answered.
"This one's all yours Kyle, I need to at least take a shower before I even think about taking an assignment."
"Sorry to disappoint you Megan, but we're already on the case." Kyle said.
"Can I at least get a shower before I look over the files?"
"Sure."
"Mind if I join here?" Trek said, a teasing tone to his voice.
"Trek don't be stupid!" Jenny screamed.
Megan stood and began to leave the room, only stopping to look over her shoulder. With Trek's joke TKR was starting to loosen up. Apparently Nick's being alive had shaken them up.
* * *
Megan shook her head, her drying hair flying around her body. All of the investigations Nick had done had turned up nothing. Nick himself was still a mystery, and that was one thing she hated. This whole mystery thing had led her to the desert one day, where she found a secret desert base, and one thing led to another and here she was on a plane heading to DC to investigate an "Invisible Man'. She smiled to herself, got dressed and headed down to the garage.
A few monuments later she entered the garage. Venus and Aries greeted her as soon as she entered. A couple of seconds later Domino also said hi. Megan walked over to Venus and started checking the bike for any signs of the gun fight they had been in. When she saw none she stood up and began to leave to find Steven and brief him when Trek came in. He shot an angry look at Karr and started to walk over to Megan, she stopped by the TransAm.
"Do you think you can give me a hand with something?" Trek asked.
"What?"
"One of the times that car was here, he put a virus on my laptop." Trek said pointing at Karr.
"How?"
"Don't ask."
Megan looked at the black Stealth, then back at Trek who was holding up his lap top.
"Sure, why not?'
Megan walked over to the red Mustang, who opened the door, and she sat down on the passenger seat. Half an hour later she pushed the lap top further back from her knee and looked at Trek, who was sitting on Kat.
"Well?"
"You have a very nice paper wait here."
"What?!" Trek shouted.
"It would appear she was unable to fix it." Plato said.
"But I thought you where good." Trek said in frustration.
"I am, better than you in fact."
He ignored the insult and responded, "Are you sure you tried hard enough?"
"Look Honey, if she worked any harder on it, she would have never left." Domino said.
Megan got out of the Mustang and stretched her legs.
"Now what do you want me to do with it?" Trek asked as the stared at the computer.
"You could try and ask Karr very nicely to remove it." Megan said.
Trek was about to say something when he was cut off by Dante telling them the plane had started to land. They left the garage and headed back to the conference room.

Kyle finished going over his notes and looked at the rest of TKR.
"Kyle is this case actually a case?" Erica asked.
"Yes, this is a case." Michael said as he came in. "In 20 minutes all of you need to leave and have your vehicles sweeping the city for the cold trace."
"What about you and Nick?" Duke asked.
"We'll be helping you."
"And you want all of us to have the vehicles scan the city?" Steven asked dote in his voice. Megan knew what he was going to ask next, but Venus cut him off.
"You know this will be like finding a needle in a hay stack. We'll probably pick up every refrigerator on DC."
"Not if you scan in this temperature range."
"It's still going to be nearly impossible." Kat complained.
"How do you know that, that vehicle's scanners weren't malfunctioning?" Attack Beast asked.
"I'll malfunction you." A cold voice came threw the comm, Karr's voice.
"Karr, cool it." Nick said.
"OK, you have 15 minutes to get ready then you leave, we need to find this anomaly ASAP." Michael said by way of dismissal.
***
Ten minutes later Megan walked into the garage and saw she was not the first one there. Michael and Nick where leaning on Kitt's hood. Jenny was talking to Kyle by Dante. Megan walked over to Venus and sat down on the motorcycle's seat. She put her helmet in her lap and watched Nick.
***
When all of the Team had arrived Megan saw Kyle look at Michael who nodded. Kyle then looked at her. She and Kyle walked over to Michael.
"I want both of you to get your teams to split up." Michael told them.
"My team should, the minute they get out of the plane." Kyle said.
"Can Steven and I stay together until we get to the other side of DC? Then we'll go our separate ways?"
"Sure. He is your only team member right now." Michael said.
Everyone went to their vehicles and left.
**
Megan and Steven split up on the far side of DC, like they had planned.
So when Venus ran her scans over a group of people and she picked up the anomaly Megan knew she would have to face this alone. Megan parked the bike and walked over to the group. Venus told her the man in the center was the one with the anomaly around him at one point. The anomaly had disappeared.
Megan made it over just as Karr shot into the parking lot. Nick jumped out of the car and ran over to the group. He then punched a women, knocking her down.
"Nick, what do you think your doing?" The women demanded.
"Alex, just be glad that's all I did."
"Nick what's up?" Megan demanded.
"Stay out of this Megan." Nick said.
The bald man looked at his friends, but did nothing to help the women.
"Nick we are here for a reason." Megan said.
Nick glared at Megan than back at Alex. "What was that cold spot that was over here a second ago?"
"What cold spot?" A man with out of control hair asked.
"Do you want to see our records?" Megan asked.
After about an hour of arguing about whether or not something was there, Megan and Nick finally got the true story. Unlike with the Viper team, the Agency would not be joining their league.
Nick and Karr split, and TKR went back to the plane. Now maybe they would be able to rest.
