Agent Jose Antonio Carter had been plowing through the old records since the moment he step foot on the new base. Gregorio was not going to like what he had found, and more than likely was going to have his head for it. They should have had Cody Madison in their hands a long time ago. The 6'2 dark haired Latino was in no mood for any more royal fuck ups. Especially when they came in the form of his partners subconscious. 'and your own.' the voice in the back of his mind taunted.
Agent Michael Aaron Bear had been going back and forth in his mind, as to whether or not the subject should even be brought up. His mind was in turmoil as the events from the past few days played over in his mind. He had seen her for the first time in what must have been more than 11 years. He had finally seen her.
Of course now they were on the opposite playing fields, it should not have caused him to screw up when the shots had been fired. His partner had covered his mistake up, and gave him fair warning.
"You knew dam well this day would come Mickey, and you screwed up big time. Don't let it happen again." he was using their childhood nickname, Bear knew something was wrong now. They been refrained from using their names for the past 11 years, and rarely used them in private.
"Joey man I don't know about this, I mean she's one of us, man its Cody!"
"No, don't do this now." he crouched down to his partners and life long friend's eye level. They had been in their private quarters discussing their mistakes. "She isn't part of us anymore, she's the enemy remember?" he sounded like was trying to convince himself more than the other man.
"I can't do it… we trained together man."
"We were 7 years old… look don't let anyone else hear you talk like that." he gripped the younger mans face in his hands. "This is way too important to for us to blow it now. Do you understand me?"
He looked into the other mans gray eyes, Carter understood full well what Bear was going through; only the older man had pushed his emotions aside as far as he could.
Getting back to the files Carter looks at each one and set the folders out in front of him. There are 5 of them each complete with pictures and profiles. "What have we got here." Bear asked as he stood by Carter's side. He gave his partner a slight nod and pointed out each member. "We've got our new assignment here.
Another Elemental, his Electrical. Brennan Mulwray. Feline Feral, Shalimar Fox. Psionic/Tel-empath Emma Delauro, and the kid the Molecular intangible and impervious Jesse Kilmartin."
"Are you kidding me a Tel-empath?"
"Yep, she was just underneath us."
"You didn't say anything about a Tel-empath man."
"What the fuck is wrong with you Bear? You've been acting out of line ever since the Mission failed.
Anytime you want to back off this assignment just say the word." their third partners voice came in from the doorway.
"Leave him alone Argento." Carter said not looking up from the folders on the desk.
"I said I was in 'till the end didn't I?" Bear retorted.
"Good. We better get going if we're going to finish what we started." Argento said as he departed the room.
Bear and Carter exchanged a knowing look.

Once again Mason Eckhart paced the length of the room, his agents had been disposed of and now he was beginning to get very angry. Adam Kane had yet again snatched the latest mutant who should have been an easy capture, considering that her growth spurt (so to speak) was around the corner. She would be a complete walking nightmare. On the other hand this might prove to be exactly what he had been after all a long. He pressed one of the switches on the wall. "Briggs send in her in now." A few moments later a tall dark haired woman walked in. "What have you got for me Mora?"
"The Bounty hunters are very territorial."
"And…"
"On the upside the Molecular has been severely injured." she replied "I believe we can use this to our advantage."
"And…"
"What else is there Mr. Eckhart?"
The white hair man stalked dangerously close to the Feral. "Remind me why I am keeping you alive Mora."
"You need me to retrieve the Elemental. I am the only one who knows her that well." she said this with confidence.
This bothered Eckhart just the slightest, but it was the Elemental he wanted. He slipped his hands into his pocket and pulled out a small device. A remote, and pressed the trigger. Immediately Agent Mora was on her knees gritting her teeth against the white-hot pain that shot through her body. Elkhart released the trigger with a grim expression. "Very well do what you must to retrieve her. You're getting this once very rare last chance Mora." with this he left the feral to her own.
"Bastard." she whispered before collapsing to the cold floor.
