Simbis P.O.V
After things died down a little i took Alex to the med centre to get her checked out. She took on and won against Uma and the other thugs keeping them hostage. She had some minor injuries but I just wanted to check her out. I cleaned the wounds on her face before insisting upon a scan on her leg. As I was setting up the scanner, she was lying on the bed and kept on saying
"Simbi my leg is fine, it feels better than it has in a long time"
"I just want to check as a precaution"
"Fine" I then left the room and head to the scanner control room.
Soon the scan started and the image appeared on the screen. At first I just read over a report but then i glanced up at the scan and couldn't believe what i w
as seeing. I put the report down and muttered
"That's impossible" immediately I stopped the scan and went through to the room. Alex sat up but before she could say anything I grabbed a needle and said
"Arm" she held out her arm and I took a sample of blood.
"Same simbi what's going on You're freaking me out"
"Your leg .."
"What about my leg?"
"It's healed. There's not sign of any break, everything has completely healed"
"How is that possible?"
"I've got an idea but I'm not sure. If I'm right, you're father needs to know"
"I can call him"
"Go do that, I'll test your blood"
Alex's P. O. V.
When simbi went off to test my blood I got my phone out and immediately called Sonny. It rang a few times before he finally answered
"Alex, are you okay? I saw the news"
"I'm fine, Dad…mostly"
"What do you mean by mostly?"
"Can you come to Akilian"
"Alex what's going on?"
"Sim is having to run test on my blood for something, she won't tell me what"
"Why?"
"My leg is completely healed no scarring nothing…Dad she says you should be here"
"I'll be there as soon as I can"
"Thanks Dad"
"Hey Alex"
"Yeah"
"Everything's going to be okay, you know that right?"
"I know dad. See you soon" I know that what I just said would convince him because I didn't even convince myself. He then ended the call and I got up from the table as Simbi came into the room, I looked at her and said
"Dads on his way"
"Okay, this is going to take a few hours so you might want to get cleaned up" I gave a gentle nod before leaving the room.
3 hours later I was sat in the lounge sketching into an old notepad. I wasn't paying attention to anything until I heard Dads voice
"Alex" I looked up and saw him leaning against the doorway but he wasn't alone, D'jok was with him. I could tell by the look on D'joks face that something wasn't right. I then said
"It's bad isn't it" they came into the room and closed the door behind then. D'jok sat down next to me as Dad started speaking
"Simbi sent me your blood results on my way here. When I saw them I knew you'd probably want D'jok here so I went to get him"
"What's wrong with me Dad" he sat the other side of me and continued
"When we first found you in the lab, there was an empty chamber next to you. We didn't know what it was until now"
"What was it?"
"We believe that Blaylock managed to liquidise the Metaflux and transfuse it in you. Alex your blood is now reading 95% Metaflux. The fight with Uma must have triggered it to come to the surface"
"If my blood is mostly Metaflux then why am I not sick. I feel fine, better than I have in a long time" D'jok then said
"That condition Mom had. It seems to have supercharged it almost" I looked at my hands and then said
"So what happens now? If word gets out that I've got Metaflux…" Dad cut me off by saying
"Word won't get out but until we can figure out a safe way to remove the Metaflux, I think you should come stay with the pirates. It will be safe there" I looked at D'jok and said
"What do you think?"
"I think that I've never seen you as happy as when you were with the pirates. When you stayed with them you found somewhere where you could be you. And it will be safe"
"You think I should go" he gently took hold of my hands and said
"Alex you need to start living your own life and stop trying to protect me and others, Okay. I'm your big brother, we'll be fine"
"But if Uma come back then…"
"Then we'll deal with it, okay, we can look after ourselves. Plus, for now at least you can come visit a lot easier than what you could have a few months ago, thanks to the truse'
I took a breath before saying
"I can't just disappear without saying goodbye to the others not after everything"
"They'll be back tomorrow, I left just before a press conference"
"Okay" Dad then placed a hand on my shoulder and said
"This isn't forever Alex, it's just until we can work our how to remove the Metaflux without hurting you. But until then you may have to wear a flux inhibitor to stop it's development, which also mean you won't be able to use the breath of Akillian either" I sat back and said sarcastically
"This just keep getting better…"
3 days later
So all my stuff is packed up and ready to go later today. Mei and tia insisted on doing a leaving party for me, I don't really want one because that will make everything seem real you know. The party has been going on for a couple of hours but i managed to sneak away about an hour in. i walked through the town for a bit before i found myself in the old clubhouse. Me, Mice, Thran, Ahito and D'jok found this place when we were younger and just made it our own place. We spent most of our time here until we were about 14, we just grew out of it.
We kinda divided the place into 4 section. Each section is personalised for us we decorated it how we wanted. There's so many memories here. At the back of the building there's a ladder that takes you up to a watchtower almost. You can see basically all of Akilian from up here. I'm currently leaning up against the window frame watching the sunset. I was just taking everything in when i was snapped out of my thoughts "I thought i'd find you up here" i turned around and saw D'jok climbing up off the ladder. When i stood up he said "We've been looking for you for like 20 minutes" "Yeah i had to get away for a bit" he came and stood next to me before saying "Alex…" i cut him off by saying "I'm fine, just leave it at that" "OKay"
We both then looked at out of the window. After a couple minutes D'jok pointed over to the rocks and said "He didn't we break our arms over there" "That was the day we met Mice" I then pointed to the tree in the centre of town and said "Remember when covered that tree in toilet paper the first time we got drunk" He smiled and said "I remember the hangover but not much of that night" For 20 minutes we kept pointing out different places where we did stupid stuff. Before we headed back to the academy where the Black Manta was waiting.
As we approached the Academy the rest of the snowkids noticed us and came over. Arch then went to come over but Dad said something that stopped him. When the others joined us Mei took hold of D'joks hand as Micro-ice spoke
"So this is it?" Tia then said
"No it's not. The pirates have immunity right? So Alex can come visit all the time" I put my hands in my jeans pockets and said
"Tia, it's not that easy. Yeah the pirates have immunity but I'm basically going into hiding. It won't be safe me, for you guys if come and visit all the time. I'll come visit as much as I can but until the metaflux is gone then it's safer for everyone if I keep my distance" Rocket then said
"We'll have games against the pirates, so you better get their skills up"
"Course"
I then turned to Mark and said
"Keep up the good work Mark"
"You have my word"
"I was alone for so long. Despite all the crap we've been through, I'm grateful for this family. I'll be watching every game and I'll call whenever I can" Thran then said
"Don't worry about it, Lex. You better get going"
"Yeah, Long trip" I then nudged D'jok and gestured away from the group. He nodded and gave Mei a kiss on the cheek before walking with me away from the group.
We walked to the side of the pavement and I held my necklace and said
"This necklace, you're bracelet and dads bracelet connects us as a family…" I pushed my left sleeve and, pushed his up as well and pointed to our matching scars before saying
"But these are more than just scars, these are something of many many memories that we share, Okay. D'jok you were always my brother even before we knew it, you've save my life so many times and I'm never gonna be able to thank you for that but now…D'jok I was always there to pull you down, time to start living your life without me to get you into trouble and screwing everything up"
"Don't ever think that you dragged me down, Lex. You're my sister, my best friend, I love you, Okay. I'll always be there to keep you out of trouble."
I smiled and looked out over Akillian and said
"I'm going to miss this place…. Promise you won't do anything stupid till i get back" he smiled and said
"How can i, you're taking all the stupid with you" he let out a small laugh before pulling him into a hug. I gripped onto his jacket and said "I'm gonna miss you"
"I'm gonna miss you too….
