Previously on Kyle XY…
Andy moved and Josh was upset, but with a little help from Declan, Josh was able to talk to Andy via webcam.
Jesse was "playing dead," until Amanda told her about the file Nate had on Kyle. The two girls hatched a plan to erase all the data and get rid of the file, that is until Nate showed up unexpectedly and caught Amanda in his room. Jessi came to the rescue and saved Amanda. Amanda declared that even though Jessi saved her life that didn't mean she was going to back off of Kyle so easily. The girls came to a truce long enough for Jessi to stumble upon a file stating Kyle's origin.
Kyle distributed bacteria into all of the growth formula, making the pod chambers useless for cloning. But before he could finish Mark and a guard came in; Kyle gripping a ceiling beam for dear life dropped the syringe with the bacteria and jumped to the floor, in front of Mark. Mark let Kyle finish what he went there to do. Kyle then immediately returns home to find the place empty except for one person… Cassidy.
Cassidy electrocutes Kyle and threatens the Tregar's, Jessi's and Amanda's lives. Kyle decides that Nicole was right when she said he was changing, but it had to be done. Kyle then proceeds to punch Cassidy through a window and lifts him, hand wrapping around his jugular. Cassidy states that Kyle won't kill him because Grace Kingsley is Kyle's mother too, which makes Michael Cassidy and Kyle Tregar brothers…
Now on Kyle XY the season all you die hard fans were waiting for… SEASON FOUR!
Chapter One: The Beginning…
[Kyle]
I didn't know what to make of what Cassidy had just told me. How was someone as horrible as he was, related in anyway to me. I've read studies on nature vs. nurture, but none of them were definitive; I've learned that when you mix the realms of science and psychology the lines tend to blur.
I looked Cassidy in the eye. I could tell he wasn't lying, but that didn't mean anything to me. He could think he's telling the truth when it was all just a horrible trick who's web we were both caught in.
Instead of responding to him, I decided that if I was going to do this I was going to see it through;
I planted a swift blow to Cassidy's face, breaking his nose and knocking him unconscious. It was time to call Foss and see what he'd make of the situation.
I immediately bound Cassidy's wrists and called Foss. The conversation was typical Foss, a simple I'll be there in ten and it was over. Just as I was hanging up the phone Jessi comes speeding in. In an instant her arms are around me and my body automatically welcomed the embrace. Though the sensations I felt when Jessi was around me were new, I felt as if I'd known them my whole life.
"Thank god you're ok Kyle! You're not going to believe what I found on Nate's computer-" Before she could finish her sentence my lips attacked hers, and finally I felt at peace. All the anxiety and surprise of the day's events dissipated and I somehow knew it was Jessi and not the kiss that made me feel this way; I didn't want to think about that right now because for the first time in hours I felt like myself. This was the only place in the world I wanted to be.
After what seemed like days but I knew were only a few minutes I stepped back. Jessi's intense gaze bore into me as we both stood there flushed and out of breath. Her eyes finally fell to the ground where she saw the crumpled form of Cassidy.
"Um…" Jessi started off in her usual awkward yet aggressive tone. "What happened to him?" she asked pointing to Cassidy.
"I had to subdue him somehow. I figured a broken nose would suffice…" I answered, a small smirk playing on my lips.
"Well, yes, I can see that he's unconscious, but how'd he get that way?" Jessi asked with a smirk of her own.
The smirk fell from my lips. "Things got… aggressive." Reality was just beginning to set in.
Though my smile had lessened Jessi's smile grew even larger. "Well that's surprising. I didn't think you had it in you to break someone's nose…"
I looked at the floor where Cassidy lay. "I hadn't planned on going this far, but he told me something unpleasant and I sort of lost control.
"Did it happen to have anything to do with Grace Kingsley being your mother?" When Jessi asked this she wasn't facing me and she wasn't watching Cassidy, she was simply staring at the wood floor.
My eyes widened. "How do you know about Grace Kingsley?"
"I read about her in one of Nate's files," Jessi answered finally looking at me.
"So it's true then? How could this happen?" I was getting angry now.
"Well Taylor is my father, it's not that impossible that you had a mother donor…" Jessi grabbed my hand to comfort me. I knew she was trying to make me feel better but it wasn't much help.
"I understand the science behind it, but why her? Grace Kingsley seems like a horrible person. Cassidy said if it were up to her I'd have been captured and locked away. He said I wouldn't be able to stay with my family anymore; I'd never see you again…" I fell silent. Though the silence didn't last long.
"You were worried that you'd never see me again?" Jessi asked with a slight tone of happiness in her voice.
"Of course! I'd miss you. I'd miss everyone! I'm tired of Latnok and Zyzzyx and Madacorp. I'm tired of being chased and the lives of my friends and family being threatened! I'm just tired, Jessi… of everything." I looked into her eyes. I didn't know what I was looking for. Maybe I wanted reassurance from someone, anyone, that it was ok to feel this way, like I wasn't being selfish just wanting to be happy.
"You're tired?" Jessi asked, her words dripping with concern. "Are you sick? Did Cassidy do something to you?" Her eyes were wildly searching my body, looking for the source of my exhaustion.
I grabbed her face, maneuvering her gaze to mine. I put on a strained smile and said, "I didn't mean that kind of exhaustion. I meant that I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to run around fighting for my freedom for the rest of my life!"
Jessi looked worried, "So what are we going to do?"
I watched her, "We can't keep running, we have to shut down Latnok for good…"
"That's impossible," Jessi stated. "We don't even know how large the organization is. I mean sure we stopped their experiment today but how are we to know they aren't doing the same thing somewhere else?" Jessi looked me in the eyes, "This is only a small portion of the world. Washington is a very small place when you look at the big picture. How are we supposed to fight an organization like Latnok when we barely know anything about it?"
I knew Jessi was right, but I didn't care. I had to figure out a way to keep the people I cared about safe, but first I had to find out where they were…
I grabbed Jessi's hand and started walking to the door.
"Where are we going? What about Cassidy?" Jessi's tone quizzical.
I didn't turn to answer, "We're going to find our family."
I ignored Jessi when she asked what we were going to do with Cassidy; I knew Foss would take care of him and I knew that I didn't want to know how. I ran as fast as I could to The Rack and Jessi followed. I had to make sure that my family was alright.
When we finally reached our destination, I was relieved to see the family enjoying smoothies through the window. For the first time in days I felt like I could relax, even if it was only for a night. Jessi grabbed my hand suddenly. Her fingers caressed mine and it felt like nothing I had experienced.
"What's wrong?" I asked, my gaze finally falling on her face.
"Nothing…" Jessi eyes wouldn't reach mine.
"I can tell something is bothering you. Your heart is racing and your body temperature is slightly elevated…" I stated, concern seeping through the cracks in my usually cool façade.
Jessi's gaze, at last, met mine, revealing a shy yet concerned look playing across her face. "It's just that all of this… this stuff with Latnok and everything… it doesn't involve them."
I furrowed my brow. "What do you mean it doesn't involve them? They're our family and they love us. Everything that happens in our lives involves them."
Jessi's large eyes pleaded with mine. "Yes, you're right. They love you and I'm sure they'll want to know everything, but… Is that really what you want? What do you think will happen to them if you tell them all the inner workings of Latnok? You know what they did to Sarah, and she was… well, Sarah. Do you think they'll have a problem keeping the Tregars quiet?"
I knew Jessi was right, but then what was I going to do? "What am I supposed to tell them? Nicole will know, she always knows when I'm keeping something from her. If I'm not honest then I don't know what to do…"
Jessi and I stood there for a few minutes just watching the Tregars laughing and waiting. I knew we couldn't stand out there watching forever, but I still didn't know what to tell them.
Jessi finally tugged on my hand causing me to glance her way. "Come on," she said with a smile. "Let's go in; your family must be worried that you haven't shown up yet. Even if you're not sure what to tell them, you can at least let them know you're safe and ease their minds."
Jessi pulled me to the door with her and as we crossed the threshold, let my hand go. I knew she was doing it for Nicole's sake, but right now I needed the comfort that her hand in mine gave me. Jessi looked at me, shock showing on her face.
I pulled Jessi along side me into The Rack and in an instant Nicole's arms were around us both. "I'm so happy to see you're both alright! Is everything taken care of? Is it all over?"
At first I didn't know what to say, I just took comfort in Nicole's embrace. Pulling back, Nicole's eyes darted from me to Jessi. "Did you take care of Latnok?"
Jessi opened her mouth to say something, but I immediately interrupted. "Yes," I assured her with a smile, "I destroyed the experiment… We should be fine. It's over…"
Jessi exchanged a sideways glance with me. I knew she was surprised at my decision, but thankfully she didn't say anything to the Tregars.
"What do you say we get out of here and celebrate with some ice cream from Dairy Dreams down the street?" Nicole asked releasing Jessi and I.
"Sure," Was all I said. Nicole smiled and the rest of the family followed us out the door,
A/N: Sorry that the first chapter is so slow, but I feel it lives up to the directions the episodes used to take. Like I'm following the same style ^_^ one of my biggest fanfic pet peeves is when the story is too fan-y. Like it's just all straight to the points that fans want to see and not at all where you think the story was really going or the style it was made, So let me know what you think and what I should change ^_^ Please review!!!
Chapter Two
