He had stopped her from ending her own life after the prom. He had been grateful for that. But now it wasn’t easy. They kept on the move, Tessa a third guard, until they could find somewhere far enough away to begin a new. They’d been thinking Florida-they had a cousin down there, their uncle had suggested it.

But the road trip was long, and sometimes Troy knew the nightmares came back. He didn’t waste a moment, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. “Carrie? Carrie, wake up, you’re not there. You’re here...follow my voice...”

Simple Heroics

Dublin, Ireland. Maldoon had picked it for them after contemplation. It was crowded, but at the same point, isolated. So Troy and his sister lived with their uncle now, over a cinema. They were supposed to be remaining down low-but then Tony Stark had declared he was Iron Man on live TV.

Troy had a costume in a week, and was begging Tessa to use her powers to help him. She’d agreed-but only because she was worried he’d get himself killed without her. So there they were, him in a long duster, and her in a sweat jacket.

“Can we go now? We stopped some vandalism, and even helped an old lady cross the street!” Tessa whined as she rubbed her eyes through her mask, her hood up, “and its cold!”

Troy was trying to crouch majestically and gaze out binoculars, but this wasn’t easy since he was on top of a dumpster. “Just one more thing,” Troy lifted his arm to point out, “D.I.D.”

“What?” Tessa turned. Then she saw her-a damsel in distress, Troy claimed. And in his defense it didn’t look good-a lone young woman, petite in stature, pretty, and there was a trio of goons following her. She sighed and nodded. “Fine. We save her, and then we go.” Even as she spoke she was disappearing herself. Troy grinned and nodded, taking to the air to follow.

This would be the first time they met someone singularly unique outside their family.

Adjustment Phase

The Dark Wizard Wirchi had been defeated, sealed by Silver Magic and kept within caves on Moss Isle. Peace had returned, and Troy had returned. He had reassured Rosilyn many times, and had no complaints about continuing too. That said, his new found appendages-a great pair of wings on his back-had more cons. He kept bumping them into door frames and ceilings, and of course the lack of clothing he could use kept them on the Isle for a bit longer till the first snow passed.

“No I can’t just use a regular tunic, do you see anything that might make that complicated?” Troy groaned and sighed, “Something I don’t have to put over my head or shoulders. I mean if it does have something with shoulders, good, but I have to get them over my arms. Maybe something that secures under the things? Or in front?”

He smiled at the seamstress, nodded quietly, and then turned back to Rosilyn, offering his arm to her. “Okay, so I think I’ll have clothing soon,” Troy laughed softly, “Would you care to spend a little time exploring with me?”

“Is that so?” Troy’s lips quirked in a smile as he crouched beside the entrance, “Is there room for one more?” He held up a paper bag smelling of chinese, “I brought take out.”

“Tessa had detention. Apparently she got in trouble for throwing a math book at one of the other girls. Chris, I think? And for slamming her into a locker. She texted me briefly and suggested I swing by. I can see why.”

Troy slowly sat beside Carrie on the porch, a gentle smile on his face reaching into his satchel and producing a clear bottle with a gel inside. “Aloe. My uncle had a garden. Might help with the elbow.”

He exhaled, leaning over and wiping her tears away gently before kissing her forehead. “So way I see it. We can talk about it. Or...” He gestured to his bike with a head tilt, “You can catch the wind with me.” Troy smiled softly, “First sunny day in a while.”

Time To Save a Life

It had been one hell of an event. It had been going great, really. Carrie was more beautiful then ever. He'd coaxed her into dancing and held her close. Troy had borrowed his uncle's old tuxedo. Tessa had even agreed to join them so they could score a table and scare off jerks and stupid heads. It least, that had been the idea.

Then there'd been the bucket of blood. And things had gone to hell fast. Troy had tried to reach out to Carrie, to go to her at the gym, but Tessa had pulled him down and used her ability. She lifted a shield to protect them from all the action, all the violence, and from any harm that would befall them. They got out before it collapsed, and then Troy had flown. He had to find Carrie, to talk to her, before-before she hurt herself.

Things had happened in the gym, sure, but everyone had a breaking pint. Thats all it was. Now he was running, flying, searching for her. He spotted her at the top of a building, and dropped onto the roof top behind her. "Carrie!" He cried out and began to step toward her, an arm outstretched toward her, "Its not your fault! Abilities like this-they take time to learn how to control! Come down from the ledge, we'll leave, we'll run, I'll help you, I promise!"

Hunter's Legacy-MGS Verse

Below this line is the Metal Gear Solid Verse For Remi, Maldoon, Troy, and Tessa.

Once upon a time, Artemis Jackson had a code name-Huntress. A master assassin, she put a lot of bodies in the ground in her time. However, that changed when she met a field medic named Travis. He didn't know who she was-or care. He simply patched her up because that was what he'd chosen to do with his life. She retired that day and within a year they were wed. After that they produced two children-Troy and Tessa. The only one who knew the truth of Artemis was her elder brother, Maldoon (Code Name Hunter), who stayed in the business. So when the past caught up, and she knew it was, she sent her children to him for safe keeping. They believed it was just a visit to see their uncle, but their father knew better and refused to leave her side. As a result, Travis was killed, and Remi was captured and experimented on-considered a non person.

Maldoon kept his niece and nephew on the move with him as soon as they confirmed his fears-they were orphans. Tessa discovered his suitcase of guns first-at thirteen-and began to ask questions. Maldoon had always been horrible at lying. The new information about her mother didn't seem to phase the girl, in fact, it seemed to make her more fond of her mother's memory. She also requested he train her.

Troy would grow up to become a soldier, but he had no idea what his sister was involved in-or that she had inherited their mother's legacy as the Huntress.

Remi eventually escaped her captors, but the experiments had left her with no idea who she was. On the other hand, much of her body had been given bionic enhancements...

Fun Fact:

Imogen at some point, in her many travels through time and space, goes to Moss Island. While there, she met a late Golden Guardian-in fact, Troy's grandfather. In fact, as a result, Imogen became a mother-of Artemis Hunter Kingsley and Maldoon Aslan Kingsley.

Thus in Turn, Imogen is Troy and Tessa's grandmother.

So far none of her bloodline have shown her gift to travel through time.
