Thank you to hanna, Tigresblanco, Slea, Jouliana (yay. You read it.), and
caroline for reviewing.
Tigresblanco: I'm not trying to keep the chapters far apart, I just did the stupid thing of doing too many fanfics at once so I'm a little behind but I'm not starting anymore and I'll have all of these finished.
caroline: Of course it's a Brennan/Shal fic. What else will do?
Jouliana: Hello. Sorry to take so long with 'Xtreme measures' but I'm stuck for how to start the next chapter (any ideas will be helpful). It's nearly finished anyway (don't worry. It's part of a trilogy). As for the horsemen, I don't like the idea of Famine and Pestilence as they would have crap powers in my opinion so I chose the four horsemen from an Alternate Reality from the Marvel Comic X-Men (although the characters who represent them are mine).
Sorry to all for any confusion (*mutters* perhaps I should've explained that in the last chapter?)
"I'm telling you that this guy ripped the car apart!" Shalimar was in hysterics.
"Shal! One man can't do that!" Brennan looked at the wreckage of the car.
"She's telling the truth Brennan," Emma stood behind him. "I was there."
"But. . ." Adam interrupted Brennan.
"There have been reports of mysterious things happening, by people, claiming, to be the four horsemen of the apocalypse. See for yourself." He led them into the main chamber at Sanctuary and accessed the computer. Several Proxy Blue reports came up of missing children, bars exploding in Mexico, and, the latest incident. A person tipping a car outside a nightclub.
"Jesus Christ! That's him!" Emma pointed at Carnage, who stood there smiling, standing on the training platform.
"Calm down Emma," Adam said. "It's only a holographic representation I made of him from his different appearances. Just like the others." Adam never took his eyes off of the screen. Emma looked at the other representations. A tanned man with black hair and unusually clean teeth, a red haired woman in a red dress, the blue haired man she knew as Carnage, and a small blond man with green eyes.
"Yes. . .Mmm. . .So far. . ." Adam was busy at the computer and made little sense. "So far, I've managed to locate these three 'mutants', if you can call them that."
"You don't think they're mutants?" Jesse had joined them from the gym.
"They don't fall into the categories. The woman seems to be an Elemental but she has other powers too. The black haired man seems to have some sort of molecular power, but again, he has other powers too. The man you met last night seems to have Feral powers but he too, is different. I've never seen anything like it."
"What about the blond guy?" Emma asked.
"What blond guy. I said there were only three?"
"Then who's that?" Emma asked. She turned around to see that the blond man was moving around in the training area. First he looked at the red head, trying to look down at her cleavage. He then went in between the two men and proceeded to do macho poses with them, pulling faces all the while. He then stood side on and started clicking his fingers, and humming, as if in a barbershop quartet.
"What the. . .?" Brennan hit the force field and the training area went into lock down.
"Puhlease. . ." There was a flash of light from inside the training area (imagine Q from Star Trek teleporting).
"Pathetic." The man was now on the stairs, looking down on them.
"Positively rude, I'd say." He was now behind them, sitting cross-legged on the base terminal (anyone who's seen Mutant X knows that this is a red thing that sticks out by the stairs that gives off little holographic images but Shalimar often uses it to lay down when she's bored). The members of Mutant x spun round.
"Hello." He waved and smiled.
"Who the fuck are you?" Brennan didn't like this guy.
"Isn't it obvious?" he said, standing behind Brennan.
"I'm the fourth horseman." He was now on the ceiling, standing upside down, perfectly relaxed.
"I'm Chaos!" His voice resonated around the room. It lost any accent it had before. For a second, no one could find him. Then they turned around to see him choking Emma. Brennan went to electrocute him. . .
"Well that's clever, mister Mulray. Hit me. . ." his voice went from dark, to normal, then back to dark. ". . .You hit her."
Shalimar tried it the old fashioned way. She punched and kicked but he was as solid as a rock.
"Die, Emma DeLauro!" He screamed triumphantly. Suddenly. . .
. . .He stopped strangling her as a small figure appeared between Emma and himself. When Jesse Kilmartin 'phases', he goes partially see-through. This is what the girl looked like now. She was about fourteen and wore a green tank top and blue jeans. The top even had a flower on it.
"Stop!" She said.
"What's this?" the man's voice returned to normal. "A girl? Or a ghost?"
"Astral projection. Your mate 'Death', came after me so I used my powers before he could kill me. I piggy backed off of him until he met up with you and then piggy backed off of you."
"Clever." He turned to Mutant X. "I can't kill DeLauro, not with girls present." He turned back to the girl, bowed, and disappeared. The girl drifted a moment, made a decision, then fell backwards, into the limp body of Emma.
"What just happened?" Jesse Exclaimed.
