Neb: I do not own X Men Evolution. This is a fanfic about a team of OCs recruited by SHIELD. They are Section X.
Terrance Westbrook sat by a window at the secret shield base. He preferred to sleep and relax there rather than his own quarters due to it not having a window. He usually wasn't stingy about those things, but for some reason, he felt like his room was more of a prison cell then an actual room. He sighed before turning his head to see the white-haired girl floating by him again. "Excuse me," he spoke up and to his surprise, she turned to him.
"How can I help?" the girl responded. She didn't look older than thirteen.
"Why'd you ignore me last time I spoke to you?" Terrance asked.
"Vibrant told me to," she smiled. "It was not my intention to be rude, but Vibrant wanted to make sure you weren't a threat to the team."
"I'm surprised the guy is capable enough to scope out threats," Terrance chuckled and she frowned at him.
"I'd watch what you say," she explained. "Vibrant is like a big brother to Reptiless and I. He rescued me from the Brotherhood and Reptiless from a Shield lab."
"Isn't that who we work for?" he wondered.
"Yes," she replied. "In this world where humans will be cruel to mutants like us. we turned to Shield as a means of protection. In turn, we take care of mutant threats to humanity and scope out Hydra bases and Sentinals that could be threats to Mutants."
"What are Sentinals? Who's Hydra?"
"Agencies designed to cause harm to mutants," she responded. "Listen Mr..."
"Westbrook," he responded. "Call me Terrance though."
"Very well Terrance," she agreed. "I am referred to as Ghost."
"What's your real name?" Terrance asked and she shook her head.
"That life is dead to me," she explained. "That is why I am Ghost."
"What's Reptiless's name?" Terrance questioned.
"The same answer," the reptile girl spoke up as she came around the corner followed by Vibrant.
"You guys are young," Vibrant smiled. "There was a time when I renounced my name as Ricky White.. and Ricky Powers, and Ricky Whelan, and of course Ricky Wright."
"Why do you have so many last names?" Terrance asked and Ricky grinned at him.
"Adoptive families weren't a big fan," he explained.
"Oh," Terrance replied while scratching his head. "Sorry."
"It's fine," Ricky shook his head. "I wasn't a fan of them either. Besides, I was a lucky scenario. Some mutants get rejected at birth due to not looking human. Unable to find their origins." Reptiless looked down and snarled before pushing past them.
"Meet me at the training room later Reptiless," Ricky shouted after her and she nodded before heading away. "Can't wait to see what you can really do. Nick Fury is eager to hear my report also."
"How did you end up working here?" Terrance asked.
"As I stated before," Vibrant explained. "Protection. I get to be a vigilante hero chasing down bad guys and fighting the Brotherhood, just like I did with the X Men. I control my destiny here as the leader."
"Why should I work for you guys?" Terrance wondered.
"Long list," Ricky grinned. "Money, power, friends, understanding who you are and where you're from, having Shield protect your loved ones maybe."
"No loved ones," Terrance sighed and for the first time,e he saw Vibrant frown.
"I understand," Ricky spoke up. "Did you get pushed away like the rest of us?"
"No," Terrance responded. "I-... don't want to talk about it." Ricky nodded and started heading away.
"Training room then," Ricky ordered. "Time to be a part of something bigger than yourself Terrance. I promise no building will collapse on you when you have a team watching your back."
"I look forward to working with you," Ghost bowed to Terrance and then headed off. Terrance looked at his hand and formed his little domino shaped plates and then returned them back into his hand.
"We'll see what happens," he sighed.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The four of them was in a room similar to what Vibrant remembered as the Danger Room. "Get ready guys," he spoke up as three mechanical beasts along with a robot man walked in. The beasts looked like wolves with snake tales. "Reptiless, take a point." She charged in first followed by Vibrant and then Ghost and Plates. Reptiless started swinging kicks at the man robot. One of the beasts then jumped at her, but Ghost slipped past her and tapped her hand against the robot causing it to float in the air as if weightless. Vibrant then froze one in some sort of stasis. Terrance was impressed with their powers, so he had to show off also. He armored himself up and tackled through the third beast and then shot his plated shards at the other two Reptiless was grabbed by the throat by the android and she responded by wrapping her leg around its neck and clenching until its head popped off.
"Nice," Ricky grinned. "Next round is coming." Turrets started emerging from the ground and walls. "Plates," Vibrant yelled. "Guard us." Terrance created large shields with his ability and moved in to protect his allies. "Excellent. Reptiless toss me in the air." Plates were holding the shields as best as he could, but unfortunately, the blasts were really powerful coming from the turrets. Ghost tapped onto his shields and made them feel weightless. Plates were shocked at how well he was holding against them now. They felt like they'd pop like balloons, but they kept their durability. Reptiless tossed Vibrant in the air.
"Now," she yelled and Vibrant smirked before tossing what looked like fireballs at every Turret in the room.
"Easy," he yelled as he landed down. Terrance went to high five Vibrant, but Vibrant wasn't responding. "Keep your defenses up." More turrets started coming out of the walls and three more robots shaped like men came in. "Alright, this is the part where we normally fail. Terrance, be the game changer." Plates immediately started firing his shards at each turret around them. "No, I meant to protect us," Vibrant yelled as a blast from one of the turrets came from behind them. Vibrant stopped the blast by putting it in stasis and fell to his knees as his legs started vibrating. Terrance started shooting plates at the turrets behind them next. Ghost and Reptiless moved between the three robot men and Vibrant.
"Plates lost it," Retiless growled. "We have to stop them now."
"Don't use any of your powers until you recover boss," Ghost spoke up and Ricky nodded. She charged at the robots and started tapping them making them float in the air until one of them smacked her out cold. Reptiless moved in next to destroy them, but she was blasted by a turret Plates missed. Plates realized he screwed up and moved towards Vibrant where he created his giant shields again.
"How did you figure out where the turrets were," Terrance asked and Ricky shook his head.
"I sense particles around me," he explained. "Their vibrations allow me to see them clearly, especially when there moving. Doesn't matter anymore. End Simulation." Everything stopped attacking them and Ricky moved to help his teammates back up. "You know Plates, any one of us was capable of taking care of this level ourselves. But with a team having our back. They become the priority instead." Terrance looked down and grunted before exiting the room angrilly.
