So school has been depressing me lately. I know it's teacher appreciation day but there are some days I wonder why I bother. Nobody cares… And I'm starting not to either… Kinda scary.
Ok, enough wallowing in self-pity. So I mentioned that I wanted to write something like this. But since I've been severely lacking in motivation I decided to start it in hopes that would get me to finish it. This may be cliché-ish or a trope but I hope you like it. Takes place after my season 6 but before season 7 (which I may or may not write at this point).
I do not own the characters or ideas of GenRex…
Six ran to the conference room as the alarm at Providence blared. When he arrived, he was surprised to see Holiday already there. He didn't show it, however, as he slid into his usual place in the room. White's face appeared in the larger overhead monitor looking grim as usual.
It was nice having White back at the helm. He definitely did not enjoy being head of the organization. He hated the political games and subtle manipulations involved. Rather give him a situation where he can solve the problem by slicing something (or someone) in half and he would be a satisfied man.
Speaking of satisfaction, his wedding plans with Holiday have been going smoothly. Everything, but a few minor details, has been planned. But lately, he had been feeling that Holiday was feeling a little… nostalgic. He would catch her sitting in her lab, clutching a little photo album, staring into space. When he would make his presence known, she would jump a little and shove the album into her desk drawer. She would then smile at him and chatter nervously. It was obvious that she didn't want him to see the album, so it made him wonder what was in that album.
But he was not one to pry. He had enough secrets of his own to fill a whole warehouse. He could let her have a few of her own.
White's gruff voice brought him out of his thoughts.
"There's been an EVO sighting at the County Fair in Pennsylvania." White said flipping through his papers. "Since Rex is busy signing up for college classes, I'm sending you and Holiday to check it out."
Six raised an eyebrow. He rarely went on missions with Holiday and never without Rex.
"First you need to go in and confirm that it is an EVO. You're going in undercover as civilians as to not alarm any of the people." White said in way of explaining. "If it is an EVO, bag it and bring the sucker in. White out." The screen went back.
Six looked at Holiday who was gathering her things.
She looked at him. "Meet you in the hanger in 20?"
He nodded as she walked out with an armful of notes.

Six and Holiday landed in a nearby airfield. They took a jeep the rest of the way as to not attract attention. White had said incognito. Holiday was wearing black skinny jeans and an orange turtleneck. Six was in his usual green suit. Calan was waiting for them. He was wearing his civilian clothes meaning a red flannel shirt and jeans.
"Hey, you love birds." He greeted them.
"What's the situation?" Six asked ignoring his comment.
"Some people claim they spotted an EVO roaming the fair grounds. So far all we've found is some claw marks on an overturned hot dog stand." Calan shrugged. "It could be an EVO, or a very hungry animal."
"Noted." Six said. "We'll take it from here."
"Good luck. It's like trying to find common sense at a high school prom." Calan said.
"Thanks." Holiday said absent-mindedly as she walked onto the fairgrounds.
Six watched with concern. It was always dangerous when one is distracted during a mission.
Holiday had stopped in the middle of the entrance plaza. She was staring out into the distance. Six joined her.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"No, it's just… this place." Holiday paused. Six got worried when she started turning red. "Six, I never told you this but… when I was younger… like a teenager… I came here with my family… and met this guy. He told me his name was…"
"John?" Six answered
Holiday looked at him in surprise. "Y…y…yes, how did you know?" She stammered.
"Because that was me." Six answered nonchalantly.
So? What do you think? I haven't worked out all the details yet but this is what came to mind one random day. Let me know what you think.
