The Team Forms - chapter-10
Adam and Eve leave the elevator on the tenth floor. As they step out into the hall they notice the tall black girl they had passed getting into the elevator leaning a shoulder against the wall with her feet crossed at the ankles.
She smiles and straightens "Hi guys. Just so you know when my girlfriends get here we're going to have a talk. So you just chill till they get here."
Adam steps in front of Eve, "We want no trouble. We just need to speak with Brian McCall."
"About what?"
"It is a personal matter."
"Well you see, Brian is a friend of mine and you don't look like you want to be friends with Brian."
"We mean no harm to Brian McCall."
"And that's why you're wearing combat gear."
"Yeah why are you wearing combat clothes?" Becca asks as she gets off the elevator.
The voice comes from behind them Adam and Eve spin around, as Eve does her hood comes off.
"Holly molly! What the hell are you?" It is Janna who speaks.
"Leave us be! We have nothing to say to you, we are here to see Brian McCall." As Adam speaks he swirls his duster around pulling it on. In another swirl of motion he pulls out two guns from under the duster. He points them at Flo and Becca at opposite ends of the hallway.
BLINK
Suddenly Eve is behind Flo, she grabs her arm.
BLINK
Janna steps in front of Becca, "Where did they go?"
"I don't know."
"Buster you better tell me where Flo is or I'm going to take you apart." She moves toward him as Adam fires at her.
* * * * * *
Brian floats in for a landing on his roof. Now, he knew why Stefano wanted him to have the whole floor, it keeps people off the roof so he can come and go as he wanted to.
He pulls his wings down until they are two large lumps running down each side of his back and legs. He walks into his home and pulls his mask off. He tossed it aside as he reaches for a glass. Suddenly the sounds of gunfire can be heard. Brian races for his front door.

Eve pops into the middle of a firefight. Adam is firing his guns at the two other women. The small one is taking the hits from the gun while she slowly but steadily walks toward him. But, the shots from the guns didn't seem to bother her. The other one stays behind the short one while reaching around her throwing what looks like lightning at Adam from her hands. She wasn't sure what to do now, she had left the black girl in the lobby on the floor heaving her guts out. She moves quickly to stand beside Adam.
Flo rolls up to her knees, she feels like she is going to die "When I get my hands on that freaky bitch. Ooooo." She starts to heave again.
Brian throws open his door to see a stranger shooting at Becca and Janna, He quickly projects a force field between them, "Stop!" The stranger turns his gun toward Brian and Brian blasts him with a force beam.
Adam hits the hall wall hard, his duster protected him from the ray the man fired at him, but the force of the blast knocks him against the wall. Who are these people? He had thought that only he and Eve had these kind of powers. Does everybody have them?
Brian advances out into the hall holding up his hands, "Stop all of you. What's this all about?" He drops the force field in front of Becca and Janna, they move quickly to stand beside him.
Becca looks at Brian, "When were you planning on telling me about this?"
"Oh, at the same time you tell me about the lightning. Where's Flo?"
'Yeah, where's Flo?" Janna is moving again at Eve.
"I'm here." They all turn to see her stumble off the elevator.
Janna runs to her side to support her, "Are you alright?"
"I will be when I get my hands on that bald headed bitch."
Brian quickly forms his force field around the two strangers, "Janna hold her back. I'm going to find out what is going on around here." He walks up to Adam who is still sitting on the hall floor, Eve is kneeling beside him, "Alright what do you two want?"
"We didn't mean any trouble, they attacked us."
Becca moves forward "That's a lie, she blinked Flo out of here first."
Brian looks a Becca, "Blinked Flo?"
"Wait till you see her do it."
"Okay, we're sorry, we are all sorry. Right Flo?"
"In your dreams buddy boy."
"Flo!"
"Okay, Okay, I'm sorry. See if we try to save your ass again."
Brian shakes his head, "Save me? Save me from what?"
Becca smiles "From them."
Adam and Eve are now standing "Are you Brian McCall?'
"Yes."
Eve steps forward "You're Brian?"
"Yes. I'm Brian McCall."
"I am Eve. Eve McCall, I'm your sister."
Becca turns toward Flo and Janna "I'm out of here."
* * * * * *
Brian gets everyone into his apartment and makes sure on one is hurt. He then makes an emergency call to Stefano. Stefano is at the apartment in less than half an hour. He and everyone else listens to Adam and Eve's story. After they finish they all sit quietly for a few minutes.
Brian finally stands up "Now what? Stefano?"
Stefano, who has been leaning forward with elbows on knees and head in his hands, now leans back "First thing I going to do is secure Dr. Bran Toryn safety. Then we're going to get Adam and Eve over to the R&D lab to see if we can verify some of this story. We'll decide where to go from there"
* * * * * *
They were all sitting around a large table in the Phelan International R&D lab, located twenty stories below the main headquarters building. Brian, Sam, Adam, Eve, Becca, Flo, and Janna are all waiting for Stefano to show up.
Stefano walks into the room with Dr. Toryn, "All right people we now have a few answers." He and Toryn take their seats, Stefano at the head of the table. "Brian, meet your half sister."
Brian smile "Yeah, your sure?"
"Yes, DNA test confirm that you and she have some of the same DNA. According to Dr. Toryn and the information on the disk Adam provided, your mother Mary McCall was artificially inseminated with the alien seamen without her knowledge by an NSA Doctor. Then when time for the baby to be born the NSA somehow managed to slip her a drug that brought on labor prematurely, the NSA doctors took the baby and told Mary the child was born dead. It appears that later someone killed her making it look like an accident and it appears that it was don't so she wouldn't spread her active x-gene to anyone else."
Brian was on his feet "They did what?"
"Brian calm down, we can't tell if it was the NSA of if they are just reporting what happened."
"My God. I remember when she was pregnant, she was so happy and then after she lost the baby, she was so sad it was like she forgot about me. I sometimes wondered if the accident wasn't an accident but her taking her own life. Now, your telling me that someone killed her so she couldn't have another child and maybe spread her genes to someone else. Stefano! Stefano I want these people."
"I'll do what I can but no guarantees. According to the disk there are four more children at this lab and that the lab plans to start trying to clone these aliens."
Janna now speaks up "Please forgive me for interrupting but we have to stop this. This is wrong and wrong on so many levels."
"And how young lady would we stop them?"
"My God are you blind. Look at us we have enough power between the seven of us to just about stop anyone." This time it was Flo who spoke.
Stefano stands, "Are you making a commitment as a group to do this?"
They answered in the affirmative except for Sam.
Brian looks at Sam "Sam, you in or out. If you don't want to do this we'll understand."
"Most of my life I've served this country, followed without question the orders of my superiors. Now, after hearing and seeing the evidence I find myself thinking maybe I should have asked more questions. I can understand how all this started, trying to protect the Earth from possible alien invasions, but what they are doing now is just wrong. I'm in."
Stefano stands and places both hands on the table and leans on them, "Okay, first things first. We have some experimental combat gear we've been testing for the military and since Adam and Eve are already dressed similarly we'll have a team that matches. Sam, get with Dr. Toryn he knows that lab inside and out, I want a plan of attack. Everybody else stay here and the techs will come in and measure you for your gear."
