First Dex Hamilton Fanfic that I've posted on here. Love the show, so I decided to write my own plot for the events following what happened in 'Hidden Assets'.

I only own Alex (and a few others in other future chapters).

Clouds appeared from nowhere, grouping together and gathering into one. A single flash of lightning split the sky, opening a black vortex in the sky. A large ship was hurled from its eye, crashing into the ground, sending a shockwave echoing. Through the cloud of smoke that covered the area, four silhouettes rose from the ground.

"Everybody OK?" a voice asked.

"Yeah"

"I'm OK"

"What happened?" three new voices responded.

"I'm not too sure" the first voice admitted. "Alright, you guys stay here, I'll check things out."

"No way. We're not letting you go out there alone" one of voices said stubbornly.

"You're hurt," the first voice pointed out, before adding reassuringly, "Besides, I'll be back in no time." With that, one of the shadows ran off, disappearing amidst the smoke.

Dex, Zap and Tung walk into the lab, all covered in saliva. Jenny spun around on her chair, giggling when she saw them.

"Had fun with the Slaver Beetles?" she laughed. Dex smirked; Zap crossed his arms, while Tung tried to shake the spit off himself.

"Why do we even have those bugs?" Tung muttered.

"It's all for the science guys. A little drool isn't too big a price to pay."

Zap stared at him. "Maybe for you. You like getting covered in it"

"Nothing a few showers can't fix" Dex pointed out.

"Well go have them now, that stuff stinks" Jenny said, holding her hand over her nose. The three of them looked at each other, before heading out of the lab, towards the showers.

Jenny smiled as she heard the sound of the showers turn on. She turned back to the contraption she was making, just as Habibot flew up to her, tugging on her shirt collar to get her attention.

"What?" Habibot pointed towards one of the screens. It was the view from one of the security cameras, showing outside the habitat, near the trash chutes. She stared at the screen for a moment, not seeing anything. She frowned at Habi, swatting him away with her hand. He hovered in front of her, still pointing at the monitor. When Jenny ignored him, he flew behind her and pulled on her ponytail.

"Ow!" she exclaimed. She whipped around, glaring at him as he floated beside the screen.

"I swear—" she cut off when she saw something move on the screen. "What was that?" she startled, completely forgetting about Habibot.

She stared at the monitor, waiting for it to move again. A shadow ran across the camera's path, allowing Jenny full sight of it.

"Huh?" she gasped in shock and confusion. She rubbed her eyes. For a second, she thought she saw Dex out there. Even though the camera created static, it was the splitting image of him, uniform and everything. But it couldn't have been him; there was no way he could have finished having his shower so fast, and even if he had, why would he be out there? She opened her wrist com, calling him just in case.

"Dex, Dex come in." There was no answer. Jenny was kind of freaked out now. Not knowing what to do, she decided to wait until the boys were done.

Twenty minutes passed after both Dex and Zap had finished having their showers, and Tung was still in there.

"How long does it take frog-boy to have one shower?" Zap asked rhetorically. Dex shrugged.

"You know how Tung is." They waited a further fifteen minutes, but eventually, he came out.

"What took you so long?" Zap questioned, sounding annoyed.

"Hey, I had to make sure I got rid of all the spit from all areas." Dex and Zap cringed when he said that. Dex opened his communicator, answering a call from Jenny.

"Jenny what is it?" he asked, noticing the almost frightened expression on her face.

"Come to the lab and hurry" she said hastily, before signing off. Dex exchanged a confused glance with the others.

"What was that all about?" Zap inquired.

"I'm not sure," Dex murmured. "But we're about to find out. Come on" he gestured with his hand for the two of them to follow.

When they reached the lab, Jenny was pacing nervously.

"What's wrong?" Dex asked, getting her attention. Jenny turned to them, running over to one of the monitors.

"Check this out" she said, replaying one of the security tapes. The three boys watched the screen carefully. When nothing happened, they looked to Jenny, who told them to keep watching.

"Wait for it" On the screen, the Dex lookalike ran across in front of the camera. The three of them gasped.

"Wow! Another Dex!" Tung exclaimed.

"Who was that?" Zap turned to Dex. He shook his head hesitantly.

"I don't know."

Without warning, Dex ran out of the lab.

"Now where's he going?" Jenny asked. Zap and Tung ran after him. Jenny turned her attention back to the monitor. It started to lose its focus and the static grew. Frantically, Jenny tried to get the camera back online. The screen switched off entirely, leaving Jenny staring at an empty black screen.

"This isn't good" she murmured under her breath.

Dex stopped running when he reached the garbage disposal. Looking around, he spotted the security camera. Fast as lightning, he grabbed it and switched it off. Call it a hunch, but he was almost certain he knew what was going on. At any rate, he couldn't let his team know the truth.

He started to look around, searching for his apparent doppelgänger amongst the dumpsters.

"Hello Dex." His head shot up when he heard the familiar voice. He spun around, seeing a young girl walk out of the shadows. She was the same height as him, with the same coloured golden-brown hair tied up in a high ponytail. Her eyes were red, just like his. She wore a uniform identical to his, except she wore boots, white leggings and her shirt was pinkish-red and longer beneath her belt. She was looking directly at him, her hands on her hips, and her smile hinting a mischievous side behind an untold innocence.

"Long-time no see."

Dex stared at her in complete disbelief. Even though he had a feeling it would have been her, it didn't make it any less shocking seeing her standing in front of him. "Struth" Dex whispered. Before he could do anything, Zap and Tung came running out.

"Uh oh" he exclaimed, his eyes flickering between them and the girl. The two of them stared wide-eyed at the almost identical pair in front of them.

"It IS another Dex!" Tung shouted, pointing at the girl.

"What's going on out there?" Jenny's voice came from Zap's wrist com. Dex looked at his teammates.

"I guess I should explain" he remarked, rubbing the back of his head.

Zap folded his arms across his chest. "You think?"

Dex, Zap, Tung returned to the lab, closely followed by the girl. "Who's she?" Jenny asked suspiciously. The girl put her hands on her hips and smiled at Dex.

"You never told them about me? Disappointing Dexy." Dex's cheeks tinged pink in embarrassment at her comment, and even more when his team stared at him as a result of it.

"Dexy?" Zap questioned, smirking.

"She your girlfriend?" Tung asked. Both the he and the girl shuddered and made faces.

"Definitely not" Dex clarified. He turned to the girl.

"What are you doing here?" he demanded.

"Hey come on, aren't you even going to properly introduce me to your team? I bet they're dying to know who I am." The way she spoke to him was almost challenging. Dex sighed with exasperation. Resentfully, he introduced her.

"Guys, this is Alex." The girl now known as Alex gave him an inquisitive look. Wincing, Dex continued.

"Alex…Hamilton. My sister."

Seeing as though it was my birthday today, I figured I might as well post the first chapter. Hopefully it wasnt too bad. Please tell me what you think.
