I don't own Evo, yadda yadda yadda, thanks for the reviews, more will be revealed in the later chapters :D







A Black limousine bulled up in front of the large Victorian mansion that is the house of Lance Alvers, Todd Tolansky, Fred Dukes, and Pietro Maximoff, the Brotherhood of Mutants. The four mutants were gathered around a TV, watching the news when the doorbell rang.

"Your turn." Fred, Pietro, and Lance simultaneously said, and pointed at Todd. He groaned and hopped to his feet, and to the door. He opened it up to see Victor Regal, Brad Stevens, and Jill Ricardo.

"Lance Alvers?" Victor asked.

"Lance, its for you." Todd shouted. Lance made his way to the door and looked up and down the three visitors.

"Mr. Alvers you are the one in charge here correct?"Jill questioned, as a reply Lance groaned.

"What did they do this time?"

"No, Mr. Alvers, we are with the Government." Brad answered.

"Ok what did they do to the government?"

"Lance we believe that the government can use a mutant military branch to warm humans up to the idea of mutants." Lance's eyebrow raised at Victor's instruction.

"Go on..."

"Well the Government wants to use a group of mutants to go on missions, and work for the government, we understand you currently work with the man Magneto."

"Well one of us 'works' for him anyway." Lance said looking over to Pietro.

"What we are offering is not just a impulse decision." Jill explained. "You can have some time to think and talk over it. We are offing a government job, will full pay, all detailed in a folder." Jill handed Lance a sealed briefcase. However if you accept you have to leave this... lovely home.

"What about food!" Fred shouted from the living room.

"Pardon?" Victor scratched his head.

"Well we'll be living on some army base won't we?" Fred consulted. "Will food be provided?"

"No, you will be living on a apartment complex off base, the residents however will all be members of our team. Rent is provided but food and clothing and entertainment must be provided by you." Jill explained.

"But I think with four hefty government salaries you may be able to get enough food for even you." Victor sneered, to which Fred growled and made a fist.

"So you are offering us a government job to fight terrorists." Lance began. "We get government salaries, free rent for an apartment, and in return we have to risk our lives to protect the country we are currently risking our lives for free to destroy?"

"Basically yeah." Brad shrugged.

"Speaking for me I would get up and go now, but we better talk it over, any place we can reach you at?" Lance asked, trying to sound in control.

"We will be here tomorrow at this time for your decision." Jill suggested.

"Perfect." Lance shut the door and turned back to see the brotherhood looking at him angrily. "What?"

"Your dealing with the devil man, you can't last." Pietro glared.

"He's right yo, humans don't care about us." Todd agreed.

"Well they are offering us a job which we get payed a lot of money for doing what we do now, and we get free rent and our own apartments." Lance pointed out.

"It's a trap, even I can see that." Fred stated.

"What about Magneto and Mystique?" Pietro asked.

"The ones who abandon us? I sure don't care about them, I got no loyalties."

"Now Lance has a point." Fred scratched his head. "Yeah sure they gave us a broken mansion, but that's it, and if they come back what are they going to start doing? Forcing us to work and fight and yelling and destroying stuff when we don't do what they want?"

"Exactly." Lance shouted.

"But-" Pietro protested.

"What about daddy?" Lance assumed. "Come on Pietro! What do you think? He still loves you." Pietro's eyes started to water. "Its just like with us, he wants something!" Pietro nodded.

"You guys are right, if we work for the government we will be doing the same thing we are here, but getting paid for it."

"What if its another trick?" Fred asked, they all gave that some serious thought. "Why would the government want to make it good with mutants... what if there are labs and experiments and stuff?"

"I- I don't know." Lance gulped.

"What have we got to lose yo?" Todd interjected. "We have been refused and abused by Magneto, society, The X-men, why not the government?"

"Todd is right." Pietro nodded. "They won't do something that probably hasn't been done to us."

"So are we in?" Lance asked.

"We're in." They all agreed.

"First lets look over this contract." Lance pulled some folders out of the briefcase for each member.



After examining it, it was explained that they would be in their contract for two years before they were allowed to quit. After that time they could rejoin into the project. They would each be given a apartment in a building, after the two years were over, even if they stayed in the project they would be allowed to move out of the apartments but they would have to be the age of 18, and would not be able to mention anything of their occupation or be brought back to the complex. They would be four members of something called the Vague project. It was government plan to use mutants agents for the government. They would simply be told that they were the first mutants to enter the US military, and they would publicly it. In the public eye they would be followed to ensure that the public get respect for the team, but would never be let known that the security of the country would be resting in their hands, until they deemed appropriate. Their jobs would require surveillance, under cover work, spying, and anti-terrorist acts. They would undergo several months of training before going on missions and were expected to carry out any mission asked of them. They would be under the direct command of Victor Regal, Brad Stevens, and Jill Ricardo and anyone else that they have assigned. The Brotherhood agreed to all of this and by the next day they had signed their contracts and as soon as the three agents arrived, they became legal soldiers of the US military.

"Last chance to back out." Lance looked back at his three friends, they all shook their heads.

"Anyone nervous?" Todd said, obviously trembling.

"We just sold our sold to the government I think we are all nervous." Pietro replied.

"Not me." Fred beamed. "I'm making to much money to be nervous about anything." After he finished speaking they saw the black limo round the corner. Lance looked down at his folder hesitantly. The limo stopped at the Brotherhood's house and Jill got out.

"Mr. Alvers have you made your decision?" She asked.

'This is insane!' Lance thought to himself. 'Yesterday we met these people, we have no idea who they are, other then assuming what the folder says, and we signed the next two years of our lives away!'

"Yeah, we have the contracts signed, and we accept your offer." Lance found himself saying the words despite what his insides told him.

"Excellent." Jill smiled and opened up the door. "Please make your way inside the limo, and it will take us to the airport."

"... Goodbye Bayville." Lance uttered the words as he stepped into the black limousine, the next two years of his life, wouldn't be here.
