Being Different

Men of Action

A/N: And here we go with some more revelations...

Damien POV

An agent whizzed past me in a flurry as the entire mansion was on edge with the possibility of infiltrators knocking at our doors, since Marcus had finally spilled the beans over his involvement with these men.

His knowledge of Tyron Bader's scheme to poison the waters with a special formula, would transform ordinary men into beasts, as what happened with Felix. But in Felix's case, he had managed to maintain a grip on his humanity which relieved us all.

Since his transformation, Felix was completely immersed in the moment, acting all super hero-like with his new abilities, even though he had to stay in confinement for his own safety.

Now, the interesting thing was, Felix had managed to retain that ability to re-transform into the beast at will, something which neither Prion, nor Gaia nor even Zack could explain which left us all baffled.

To make matters even more intriguing, Kryon had managed to latch onto the location of the 5 remaining benefactors. Both Walid and Mick took notes, and as soon as we split into teams, we converged upon Bear Island in the middle of Norway's archipelago – a near isolated place, made up of rough terrains, vertical high cliffs, sea caves, strong winds and secretive bays for docking.

Apparently, Tyron had another scientist working on the project who had set up a small lab on the island, and that was where the other benefactors stayed, to monitor the man's progress.

Five billionaires, were willing to put their money on what they deemed was a good cause – to rid the earth of criminal types, by turning them into super beasts, only to serve a purpose as soldiers of the future.

Dad was livid, since he had taken a vow, at the very beginning to protect all manner of species, including humans, which was why he was recruited into The Organization in the first place by Marcus Adams, of all people!

This entire fiasco made no sense to my father, as to why Marcus could sell himself like some cheap thug for hire. It was clearly all about money, and the fact that this was someone that my father had looked up to, who turned out to be an utter disappointment, as his enemy.

"First Hawkes, and now Marcus! Dammit! I just came from stopping your dad from nearly committing murder back there just now! Your father has had it up to here with people playing him for a fool," Bry admitted, clearly looking exhausted from the latest interrogation that they just had. Deke and Gerry listened online, while scouting the premises since the two operatives had volunteered to go ahead and scope the mysterious Bear Island.

"Well, at least Deke and Gerry have gone ahead, and Bron, Alonso and Randy are just underway...right about now," I mentioned, checking my watch, as I saw the blimp of the submarine making its' way towards the dangerous waters.

"Have the boys been injected with the latest antidote?" Bry asked me.

"Yes, and Zack sent two full batches with them just in case we run into some difficulties. But both Deke and Gerry were inoculated with the serum beforehand," I confirmed, as Dante studied the island's landscapes, using his telekinetic powers.

"Mick, Arturo and the two AIs, MARCUS and TAMBER, will be coming in from the North together with Walid as back-up, while we'll be heading further West and disembarking here," Dante added, once his observation was complete.

"It's good that Walid could join us this time," Bry noted, nodding towards Dante who grinned broadly.

"Well, after his extensive training in Gdansk, you'd think he'd have had enough of us but nope, he's thrilled to be coming along for the ride," Dante winked at me.
