There was an unsettling quiet in the dam that night, though the only person awake to really notice it at the time was Rex. Even White Knight was asleep at this hour but something had woken Rex up. He felt rather uncomfortable with his surroundings like he normally did after a nightmare that he didn't understand.

He took a deep breath trying to orient himself and to relax and maybe go back to sleep, a soft noise echoed from inside the dam's walls which caused him to poke his head out of his makeshift room cautiously expecting to see Six stalking around but only moonlight and shadows were the stalkers this night. He shook his head trying to clear the voices from his nightmare in his head, it was just a dream and now his mind was playing tricks on him.

Before he turned his back to curl up under the warm blankets once again a sound echoed across the room, this time a scraping noise accompanied the echo followed by a soft sob. Alerted that someone might be in danger he stepped out of the bus and built the large orange and gray hands to defend himself from who or what might be in the dam with him.

"Come out and maybe I'll go easy on you." He called and waited for something to fly at him, after dealing with Evos for so long he almost started to expect something to attack him.

Instead he was met with more silence, feeling very confused he dropped the mechanics from his hand and cautiously walked forward listening for sound. Again the sound of something dragging came to mind, was he losing it? Maybe he was still dreaming, that thought put him in a panic which caused him to pinch himself. It hurt which meant it wasn't a dream so that could mean he was losing his mind, as he tried to reason out things within his mind a figure stepped into the moonlight and collapsed. It tried to pick itself up again but failed, the body was covered with some sort of growths.

"Hey! Are you alright?" He moved forward, all sense of caution being thrown to the wind. Why hadn't the alarm for the base tripped, but that question was far back into his mind at the time.

He knelt down to see a younger woman covered in some strange blue crystal like growth that was slowly spreading across her body. She chuckled weakly when her vision cleared enough to see his face.

"If I was alright, I wouldn't be here." She tried to push herself up, but a sudden spike in the crystal growth caused her to writhe in pain. Rex bit his lip and called for Holiday, he wasn't sure of himself right now. Months ago he would have tried to deactivate her nanites on the spot but something wasn't right, it looked like she'd been hit by another evo and was suffering from it's powers.

It was a half hour before any more answers were gained from her, she was half sitting and laying down in the med-lab Holiday had set up.

"Her nanites are acting strangely, it's like they want to try and activate but something is causing them to malfunction. It's like they've got faulty coding." She frowned looking at the computer screen, this would definitely be Ceasar's field of expertise at the moment but she couldn't help but feeling calling him for help would be a bad idea.

"Can't I just fix her nanites?" Rex asked, he considered trying to deactivate the nanites as he crossed the room. The girl writhed again, the crystalline growth spreading across chest.

"I'm not sure, but I'm not sure how it would effect your own nanites. That's the problem right now."

"I came because I heard he could fix problems like this." She groaned trying to sit up more, she'd been trying to get the will to talk but the pain of the spreading crystals was getting to her.

"I don't know if anyone can help you at this stage, if I can understand what happened to you maybe I can do something." Holiday gave the poor girl a sympathetic look.

"It started after providence came after me."

"But you look like an ordinary human." Rex stated.

"Where I lived people knew I was 'infected', not in the way everyone is. But different." She took a steadying breath and pushed her self into a sitting up position.

"How did they know you were an evo?"

"Because I had to fight to control what was happening to me. When it first started happening I had a problem similar to this but my mind wasn't as clear it just was confusion and fear, this time around I have my mind but I can't control what my body is doing." She winced as a shard of crystal shot out from her shoulder.

"You forced yourself to control your evo powers?" Six raised an eyebrow as he entered the room, he didn't trust her. She hadn't set off any alarms it felt like a setup.

"I didn't want to hurt anyone, I had already lost my parents to an evo attack years ago. I didn't want to do what happened to me to someone else." The girl went quiet as she recalled the last time she saw her parents.

"Six, she needs help. She came to us for help." Rex gave his partner a look, he knew that the sixth most dangerous man in the world could be distrusting but this person. There was something in her voice and the look in her eyes that he couldn't ignore, it seemed to echo the same thoughts that came to him when he truly thought about his powers and what would happen if he lost control of himself.

"I don't fully understand what's going on with her nanites and we don't want to run the risk of corrupting your own Rex." Holiday sighed, she hated being put in these positions.

"I know someone who can and will." Rex picked his phone up and hit speed dial.

"Rex are you sure this is a good idea?" Holiday started to protest but realised that she couldn't stop him from calling his older brother or trying to do the right thing. The girl appeared to be quietly suffering as if she didn't want to disturb or bother anyone with her problems.

Holiday looked at Six who folded his arms, the question was there, why didn't she trip any alarms? And how did she know where to find Rex?

"This is Doctor Salazar." The voice of the elder Salazar finally came on the line after a moment of silence.

"I need your help, there's someone in trouble."

"Ah can it wait? I'm a bit busy."

"Ceasar this is serious, someone's life could be in danger." He glanced over his shoulder to the slowly crystalising girl.

"Little brother, I understand you want to do things but I have things I need to do as well." Ceasar sighed feeling guilty for saying no, but his work was too important. He had too many mistakes to fix right now.

"Ceasar, listen to me. If you don't figure out what's wrong with her, I'll do it myself even if it's the end of me." Rex tried to put in a threatening tone, not wanting to believe that his brother really didn't value human life.

There was a short pause followed by a deep sigh followed by a string of Spanish almost too fast for Rex to fully comprehend. "Alright, bring her somewhere quiet. Providence tends to like to capture Evos and if you haven't noticed, you are an evo."

"I can handle them." Rex chuckled at his brother's attempt at humour, he felt relieved that Ceasar wasn't an inhuman monster not wanting to attempt to save a life.

"We'll need to move her and Ceasar can try and help her." Rex nodded to Holiday.

"We'll make a meeting spot and get on this. I really hope this works out." There was a tone that Rex honestly didn't like but Six was giving him the same look Holiday had given him when he called for her to help.

"It'll be fine." He frowned at the adults who then exchanged a glance and then disappeared to make preparations for moving out to a secure location.

It was hours later when the mobile lab was on the road, Rex had opted to sit in the lab with the girl. Holiday had given her something that she said would try to slow down the nanite activity in her body and would ultimately slow down the spread of the crystals. He attempted to make conversation with her multiple times, jokes, questions all went unnoticed. She seemed to be intent on staring at her feet that were starting to show signs of crystalisation as well as the portions of her upper body.

He sighed feeling like a jerk for just sitting there babbling on about things and finally fell silent. He was about to get up and go see if Bobo at least would keep him company when her voice registered.

"I'm sorry, you asked a question. I didn't answer it, my name is Eva." She said quietly.

"No it's okay, just took longer than I thought. So you learned to control your powers?" He sat back down looking at her.

"I guess you can call it that, I remember being afraid and feeling like something wasn't right. I remember looking awful and people running away and then people came after me and I ran."

"What happened then?"

"I hid somewhere for a while, fighting with this overwhelming fear and panic. Soon I felt like I had some sort of control over myself and tried to look normal, I didn't want to be feared." Eva replied quietly watching a crystaline growth peak from under her skin on her foot.

"I know the feeling." Rex nodded remembering when people were afraid of him after Hunter Cain had done quite a bit of damage to his reputation.

"It took a long time and a lot of practice but then I wasn't scary. I was normal...sort of. My neighbors thought I was 'sick' still, called providence several times but after no rampaging monster they stopped coming." Rex nodded vaguely remembering someone reading reports of false Evo sightings.

"But you still had the powers to...control whatever it is you do." Rex gestured to her spiked outer shell.

"Yes in a way I tried to practice and understand it like I did with everything else. If I understood what was happening to me, then I wouldn't be afraid and I would be happy." Eva put her head back against a wall and finally made eye contact with Rex since they'd left the dam.

"But why did providence come after you now?"

"I don't know, I don't understand why but my neighborhood was suddenly thrown into a fury. Something scared them and then providence showed up, people were cheering when they tried to put something on me and then I remember sound and vibration and feeling something just...wrong. It was wrong and I was scared again. The crystals just wouldn't stop growing and I ran away. But then I couldn't get it stop and I remember from the TV that you can fix problems like this."

"But how did you find me?" Rex raised an eyebrow, it wasn't like Noah blabbed about where Rex was living and even if he did talking to a girl much less covered in crystaline tumours would probably not be on the top of his list this week.

"I can feel nanites in a strange way. It's like everyone has the same nanites except for something slightly different about them, like a way a person walks or has quirks. It's unique to them." Eva shifted a bit trying to make her pain a bit less. "And I just sort of felt around until something felt not normal."

"Not...normal?"

"I didn't mean it that way, please forgive me. I don't explain myself very well." Eva turned her eyes back to her feet feeling stupid. She let her dark bangs fall in front of her face trying to hide the fact that she felt embarrassed.

"No it's okay don't worry." Rex held up his hands, he couldn't help but feel bad for her at this point. She lost her family, her neighbors didn't trust her and now something had messed with what she thought was a fairly normal life.

A voice crackled in Rex's ear before he could ask another question, it was holiday informing him that they would be reaching the meeting site in 5 and to get ready in case of an ambush.

"We'll get you help. My brother isn't a bad guy, just trying to do things his way." Rex tried to give her a smile but only felt some doubt as he spoke about his brother. The hesitance in his voice to help them plus the restarting of the Nanite program, it was all a bit much for him to really take in sometimes.

"We're here, Ceasar's lab is in site. We do things on our terms, she doesn't leave the med bay." Six's voice came over the ear piece.

"Understood, let's just try and help her." Rex spoke quietly and turned to face the door that his older brother would be walking in shortly.

"You get nightmares don't you?" Eva spoke up.

Rex turned around and looked at her about to ask how she knew, but Ceasar interrupted his question with a greeting and a hug. Though it was genuine there was still some feelings of resentment in Rex that he couldn't shake, Ceasar picked up on this and moved over to Eva who instinctively scooted away, her head was starting to pound as fear crept into her mind.

"Now let's see what you're dealing with." He reached out to touch her when a shard of crystal shot up from her arm causing her to cry out.

If Rex hadn't reacted as fast as he did Ceasar would have had a sharp shard of crystal through his hand. However the danger did not seem to scare the elder brother but only fascinated him.

"Interesting, your nanites are almost reacting defensively without you doing anything." He mused thinking about what this could mean and then took a peek at what was already done as to not waste time. Black Knight didn't like him being away from headquarters for too long, she started getting loud and annoying which interrupted his thinking.

Eva looked at the two brothers and brought her knees up to her chest while the older one muttered in Spanish while looking at the computer screens. She then glanced at Rex and frowned, she could sense the lingering nightmares from earlier that night. It was almost as if their nanites were talking to each other in a different way from how she felt other active nanites.

"What? It's going to be okay." Rex tried to be calming as Holiday walked in.

"I worry that is all." Eva said simply but her tone said more than her words. Rex shook his head and sat down as Bobo strolled in yawning, apparently he'd been asleep up until now.

"Worry about what? You're in a room full of brainiacs and Evo experts, if they can't fix your noggin no one can." Bobo flopped in the seat next to Rex and kicked him gently.

"Mine isn't the only problem." She stated quietly and closed her eyes, her head was killing her and she could feel more crystals starting to form and push through.

"You said something about me a bit before what did you mean?" Rex pushed this, but didn't want to really give away that nightmares were his main concern right now. He thought that after his time training as an agent for providence and then defecting the nightmares that used to plague him would be gone. But no they had come back, worse than ever and some how she knew he was having them.
