I had always wanted something where either Doc or Six became strong and tough EVO because I wanted to see how Rex would react and what he would do, it would be pretty sad.

Warnings: Blood and some gore, plus sadness. Also a bit of Holix at one point~.

Also, a scene in this is kinda based off a fan comic called 'All Better' by a DeviantArt person called DerangedBlackKitten, really, go check it out!

Characters:

Rex

A bit of Holiday

Six/EVO Six

Disclaimer: I don't own Generator Rex, if I did, it would not be cancelled!

Rex was sitting on his chair, listening to the regular briefing in the morning, well, really he was only half listening as he was trying to stay awake and think of some other stuff. His eyes drifted around the room, catching sights of things like maps or lists on computers or just some of the Providence members working around the place. His eyes drifted to two of his most favourite people in the world. The Doctor, Holiday who was listening to the briefing while writing something on her clipboard and Agent Six, his ninja nanny. He noticed right away something was off about Six. He seemed paler than normal, which is surprising and he seemed slightly jumpy, like tapping his fingers on the table and his leg bobbing up and done, like he needed to be somewhere in a rush. Rex decided just to put it off for now and turn back to listening to the briefing again when White Knight's face suddenly popped onto the screen.

"We have a problem." White stated.

Rex snickered. "Every time you appear on screen there is always a problem."

White glared at the young EVO boy before looking back at everyone else.

"A snake like EVO has been spotted in New York City, cause destruction everywhere it goes, many have already been injured and killed. There are also a group of some smalls ones that need to be handled as well." White said.

Rex shot out from his chair. "Then what are we waiting for!?"

At that moment, everyone rushed off to their jobs. Holiday pulled Rex to the side.

"Rex, I need you to watch out for Six." She said.

Rex paused. "You noticed too, didn't you?" He questioned.

Holiday nodded. "I know he isn't feeling well just by looking at him, but he is stubborn and won't listen if I asked him about it, just keep an eye out for him."

Rex smirked. "My turn to be the nanny this time, eh?"

Holiday rolled her eyes. "Just make sure he doesn't go off on his own."

Holiday turned and walked down the hall, towards the lab. Rex followed the other soldiers and Six onto the plane. He took a seat next to Six and glanced over at him. He seemed slightly jumpier and also had a hand rubbing his head. Rex suspected it was a headache or some kind of flu. Six turned and looked at Rex, catching the gaze Rex was giving him.

"What are you looking at?" He questioned.

Rex panicked slightly. "J-just Ah, daydreaming about something."

Six raised an eyebrow, not buying it but he didn't feel like arguing or questioning Rex that much and turned away, surprising Rex since Six would usually press on in the matter. Rex wasn't used to this kind of behavior of Six, in fact, he had never seen Six sick before. He couldn't help but let the worries spread throughout him, making him keep a closer eye on Six. Time seem to drift by and they had reached New York city. Rex looked out the window and saw fire and smoke. He also saw the EVO. It was a Godzilla-like snake, crashing into everything and swatting at the men shooting guns at it. Rex knew it was his time to shine and was ready to get up and dive out the ship when he remembered he was supposed to be watching Six. Rex sat back down and most members gazed at him, including Six.

"Aren't you going to be heading down?" Six questioned.

"Ah, I thought I'd tackle this EVO Differently." Rex lied.

Six raised an eyebrow again but turned away, rubbing his head once more. Rex had a soft expression on his face, genuinely worried for his mentor.

Their ship landed, each soldier dashed out, pulling out different weapons and getting ready to fight back when the EVO came running down this street. Rex and Six were up front. Six pulled out his blades and stood in a fighting pose and while most wouldn't see it, Rex saw how Six was slightly off balance. He knew he'd have to cure this EVO fast so that Six wouldn't get hurt. The ground started to shake as if an earthquake hit the area. The snake EVO crashed into the street and began to rush down the street. Rex created his smack hands and charged forward. He jumped and slammed the creature's stomach, causing to halt in its charge and stumble back. It hissed and locked eyes with Rex, clearly angry with him. Rex landed on the ground, needing one hand to stable himself. The creature dived forward, mouth wide open and ready to bite him, but he used his smack hands to catch its mouth. He was pushed back slightly but kept his ground. He heard someone running up behind him. Six jumped ahead of Rex, jumping onto the creature and sticking his blades under its scales. It roared in pain and stumbled back away, but it started to shake violently, trying to get rid of the pest on it's back. Six grabbed onto his blades and held on, but he was losing his grip.

"Six!" Rex cried out.

Rex summoned his boogie pack and flew up. He twirled around the snake's body and caught Six when he let go. The creature looked back at them and swung its tail. Rex dived down in the air and twirled, trying to dodge.

"Land me on it's head!" Six ordered.

Rex shook his head. "Just give me a moment and I can think of something else!"

Six glared at him. "Rex! Land me on-"

He was cut off when the creature spat some green liquid at Rex, hitting his boogie pack. It appeared to be some kind of acid and burnt it away, causing Rex to cry out in pain and they began to fall. Rex rubbed his back for a moment, trying to ease the pain.

"Focus Rex!" Six called out.

Rex constrained on the battle and not the pain and created his punk busters, grabbing Six and landing on them. He had a bit of ground shock but quickly regained balance. Neither had time to focus as the creature head butted the ground, shaking everything around it.

"Woah!" Rex cried out.

Rex turned and saw Six had vanished and panicked. He looked to see Six was running straight towards the creature with the other blade he hadn't lost.

"Six wait!" Rex cried out.

Rex stumbled to his feet and summoned his slam cannon, using it to grab parts from the road and fired a ball of pipes and concrete at the monster. Six was about to swing his blade when Rex's attack hit the creature in the eye, making it freak out and start swinging its body about. This didn't stop Six as he kept running and climbed the creature again. Rex followed him and created his smack hands to carry himself up the creature, following behind Six. Six found his other blade and pulled it out. The creature screeched and flung it's head back in pain. Six and Rex couldn't block their ears due to holding onto the creature. Rex grunted and pushed forward while Six was becoming dizzy, his headache wasn't doing well and the screeching wasn't helping at all. He felt very light, his stomach felt like it was punching itself and he felt very hot. He was planning on heading to the top of the creature but when he gazed up, he became extremely dizzy and slipped by mistake. Rex saw his mentor falling and panicked again.

"Six!" He cried out.

He held a smack hand out and just managed to catch Six. He breathed a sigh of relief to see his mentor was ok, except for the whole being sick thing. He jumped off the creature and switched his smack hands into boogie pack, holding Six with both arms and flew towards the Providence soldiers nearby. Some men rushed towards him and he placed Six in their arms.

"Watch out for him." Rex said.

He turned back and sneered at the creature, thinking about how close that thing has nearly killed Six. He flies forward and right before he smacks into it, he turned right up and travelled up its neck. It hissed and tried to bite him, he moved in time and it's face smacked into a nearby building. As it sought to pull out its head, Rex landed on the building next to it and created his smack hands, grabbing the metal billboard on top of the building and throwing it onto the creature. It growled in pain and tried to move. The pain it felt made it slow, slow enough for Rex to land on it and cure it. He jumped onto its head and activated his nanites. The EVO was an animal one but was lucky he could cure it. He landed on the group and looked around, he heard a hiss and looked down to see the little snake slither off, falling into the sewers to hide. Rex let a prideful smile fall onto his face.

"Another job completed by yours truly." Rex said.

"Rex!" Six yelled.

Rex groaned and turned to face his mentor who walked up to him.

"What happened up there, I told you to place me on its head." Six said with clear disapproval in his tone of voice.

Rex frowned and crossed his arms. "You can cut the act Six, we know you're sick. So you got the flu, just take a break."

Six glared at him. "I'm not sick."

Rex raised an eyebrow. "Oh really, then what happened when you suddenly just fell, or how you seemed a bit flushed and sweating more than normal?" He pointed out.

Six kept glaring. "It's normal for a human to be like this after a battle."

Rex wasn't buying it. "How about the fact you seemed jumpier today, like tapping your fingers randomly or trying to regain focus, ya, I noticed."

Six shook his head and groaned in annoyance. "Rex, enough of-"

Rex cut him off. "I'll tell White." He smirked.

Six stood still, emotionless but Rex knew he caught him.

Rex chuckled. "I will unless you go home and rest."

Six frowned even more. He wanted to argue back, but he knew Rex wasn't bluffing. White would do something about this, even if the method weren't great, they were once old friends after all. Six sighed and put his blades back, turning around heading for the ship. Rex rolled his eyes and smiled. He clicked his ear piece and contacted Holiday.

"I got him to go home and rest." He told her.

"Really? How did you-?" She was cut off by Rex.

"I told him I would tell White." Rex smirked.

He heard Holiday laugh lightly. "Smart move."

Rex heard someone cry out and guns fires, he looked up to see some soldiers being attacked by a smaller EVO.

"Oh, gotta go!" He said before turning off his ear piece.

On the ship, Six had time to settle down and now realised how bad he felt. The headache was pounding his head now, blood was rushing throughout his body, his stomach felt like it was moving on its own and his vision was very clouding, even without the sunglasses. No one in the ship had noticed this as they weren't facing him. He heard a pounding in his head, groan slightly. He went to rub his head when his hand suddenly flared out in pain. He cried out, catching everyone's attention now.

"Agent Six, what's the matter?" A member questioned, rushing over to him.

That member stopped when Six fell to his knee and begun to change. Everyone was paralysed with fear as they watched Six transforms. His body became longer and thinner, still held strong muscles, though. His skin became green and started to become scales rather than human skin. His back arched as he screamed, a tail appeared. His whole body glowed, showing nanite markings all over his body. His hands become long and sharp, looking like blades. One grew on the end of his tail. He had razor sharp fangs in his mouth that dripped with hungry drool. His eyes flared open, only being pure black. Black marking ran along his body, rough and edgy. He stopped crying out and panted slowly. Everyone was shaking with fear, never did they expect Six to become an EVO. The member from before raised a hand.

"S-Six?" He asked in a whisper tone.

Six roared at him and lunged forward, cutting right past the man's suit and padding with his razor arm blades. Everyone screamed and fired, but the bullet didn't do anything much besides pissing him off. He roared and swung his tail blade and arm blades, slicing at everyone. He quickly made his way to the cockpit where he smelt more humans, finding two driving the plane. Without thinking, he stabbed both of them through the chest. The plane nose dived down, heading straight towards the ground in a blazing crash. Six smashed a nearby window and jumped out. The plane hit the ground and exploded right away, setting fire to the field around it and making a massive crater. Six a bit away from it. He hissed and looked at his blades, they were covered in blood. He grunted and licked the blood, still feeling hungry. He gazed at the landscape. He was in a field, near a road it seemed and that road lead into New York City. He knew he'd find food there. He rushed down the field and headed straight towards the city.

Rex slammed the EVO into the ground, knocking it unconscious. He changed his hand back to normal and reached out, changing it back to a normal person who was out cold. He smiled and pulled them out of the hole they created, handing him off to a soldier. He knew he was finished as that was the last EVO. His earpiece beeped and he clicked it.

"Yes?" He said.

It was Holiday and she seemed to be panicked for some reason.

"Oh god, Rex. Six's plane has been reported to have crashed outside the city." She said, clearly scared.

Rex's eyes widened. "W-what?!" He cried out.

Holiday took a moment to calm herself. "We don't know how it happened, it just suddenly crashed into the ground, no one is reporting in."

Rex was shocked, to say the least. He was scared as well, not knowing if his mentor was ok, especially since he seemed very sick.

"I'll go check it out." He said, determinedly.

He summoned his boogie pack and quickly rushed off to the area. He left the soldier to take care of the area as they did a finale swept of the city. Two men were near an alley, just chatting about some stuff. They heard something tip in the alleyway and raised their guns. They stalked over, slowly and carefully. One went into the alley while the other stayed behind, making sure nothing ran past and escaped. The one in the alley looked around and came across a bin that was tipped, trash had also rolled out of it. He looked around and spotted nothing.

"Area appears to be clear- GAH!" A blade cut into his chest.

His friend turned around and saw his friend being pulled into the darkness of the alley, leaving a trail of blood.

"Oh god!" He clicked his ear piece. "I need-"

He didn't get enough time the creature slashed his throat. He fell to the ground, lifelessly.

Rex was flying over the field. He spotted smoke and flew towards it, seeing the crash along with the fire that it created. He was trying to stay calm and while he expressed it, his mind was going into a frenzy of what could have happened and if Six was ok or not. He landed and changed back to normal. He started to pull apart the plane, looking for survivors. He was only greeted by their blood and what was left of them. Rex covered his mouth and nose in disgust. He turned away and vomited. He had been on the field for a while but this was too much and he still had his limits with things like this. He wiped his mouth and took deep breaths, trying to focus on the task at hand. He spotted one man who had most of his body intact, unlike the others. He gazed at it, noting how the body parts were sliced off cleanly and swiftly. He stuttered, realising someone or something did this. He suddenly wondered what Six looked like if everyone here was either missing many body parts or were just a pile of blood and guts. He quickened his pace and searched the whole place. He found nothing that was Six. He couldn't tell if he should be happy or not. One side is that Six got away or that whatever did this has him or did something else to him. He spotted something and picked it up, knowing right away it was Six's sunglasses. He stashed them in his pocket and clicked his ear piece.

"Doc, you there?" He asked.

Holiday replied back right away. "Still here, found anything?"

Rex looked over at the plane crash, spotting the bodies and blood of the dead members, feeling sick again. He didn't want to tell her what he saw, how could he?

"I...I found the crash site. I can't find any survivors, they're all dead. But it wasn't the crash that killed them." He said carefully.

There was a pause and then she spoke. "What do you mean?"

"They all appeared to have been...sliced up by something or someone. It must have caused the plane to crash since no one was driving."

There was another pause and he suspected that it was because she was slightly in shock.

She spoke again. "What about Six?"

"I can't find him or anything of him, only his sunglasses. Are you able to see if his ear piece is on or not?" He asked.

"I can try." She replied.

He waited for a moment, unsure of how long this would take when someone else called him.

"Rex? Where are you?" White said.

Rex groaned before talking. "I'm outside the city. There's been a plane crash and Six was in it."

There was a pause from White this time. Rex was unsure of how he would react to this news.

"Head back to the city and I'll send someone else to take a look at the crash site. It appears you have missed an EVO." White stated.

Rex was slightly puzzled, he was sure he got them all. "Another EVO?"

"It appears to be quick, has sharp blades, all senses are strong and is hungry. Soldiers are dropping like flies to this thing, go back and handle it." White said before signing off.

Rex groaned. "Could have said please at least."

Rex landed in the city again and straight away he noted how no soldiers were around. The vans and jets were still here but no people. It was like a ghost town. Rex walked down the street, unsure of what to do besides look around and wait for something to happen. He spotted a window that was broken but he also saw the fresh blood on it. He rushed over and looked inside the place. A dead soldier was in there and Rex spotted right away that his throat was slit and his stomach was empty, like someone had been eating him. He wanted to vomit again but refused, turning away. He looked to the ground, trying to focus on something else when he saw bloody footprints of something non-human.

"EVO…" He whispered to himself.

He followed them quickly, seeing as how they were fresh. He was angry, scared and sad all at once. Angry at how something killed all these people and how he wasn't there to protect them, scared because of what this thing has done in a short amount of time and sad because he felt bad whenever they lost a soldier or a person. He knew by now that this EVO had to be the one that crashed the plane as it's slicing technique was the same as the aircraft victims. He suspects it must have gotten on the plane when no one was looking. If this thing did anything to Six, he swears he will go mad and might not cure it, or worse. He slid down the path and turned a corner. He froze right away. The EVO was standing over a man's body, appearing to about to eat the soldier when it spotted Rex. It was covered in blood, especially on its blades and mouth. It opened it's mouth and hissed, drool mixed with blood dripped out of its mouth. It cold black eyes locked onto him and he backed away, genuinely scared of this thing. It flicked out it's blades and rushed forward. Rex hopped back, dodging the blades. It nicked his arm and he groaned lightly. He swung his body and kicked it in the chest. It stumbled back but quickly rushed in again. Rex summoned his smack hands and threw a fist at it. It jumped and sliced it clean off. Rex's eyes widened at how it could easily cut his tech. He cried out in pain as well and his hands became normal. It threw a kick and he was sent flying back. He pulled himself off the ground and summoned his slam cannon, using it to grab parts of the street and fired it at the EVO. It was swift, too swift for Rex's likenings. It zig zagged around the place, making Rex keep moving his eyes about, trying to track its movement. He was too slow as it jumped up and sliced. A deep cut went down his arm and he cried out. He summoned a smack hand with his other arm and hit it. It whimpered as it flew back, rolling on the ground and onto the middle of the street. Rex fell to his knees and tried to calm his body and nanites down. Blood poured out the cut and it was unbearable. He glared over to where the beast was but to his surprise, it had vanished. A manhole cover was taken out of its hole and Rex spotted its footprints, heading down into the sewers.

"Great…" He mumbled.

He pulled himself to his feet and jumped down into the sewers. He looked left and right, spotting its footprints heading down the right. It would be dark but he could see in the dark better than most people. He walked down the side, sometimes looking over at the rushing sewer waters next to him. They were fast and rough. The smell was also getting worse the deeper he went into the tunnel. He hated it but he also hoped this meant the EVO couldn't use its sense of smell with him. He could feel his nanites spazzing out and trying to fix his arm wound. Normal people would have passed out by now but Rex wasn't normal, plus he was extremely stubborn. He walked into an open room, nothing much besides some rafters and puddles of water everywhere. He walked forward and stepped past some puddle, sometimes stepping in them, bad mistake. The water echoed to his steps and the EVO heard it. It crawled across the rafters, stalking Rex. Rex heard something, like wood creaking. He gazed up at the rafters but it was too dark, so he pulled out a small but powerful flash out. He turned it to the rafter and was attacked right away. The EVO pinned him to the ground, even stabbing a blade through bad arm's shoulder. Rex cried out in pain and his flashlight went flying, causing its light to flicker about like a disco until it finally stopped and landed on the ground, lighting up the area. Rex had his feet and free arm pushing at the EVO, trying to push it away as it snapped its head down at him.

"Get off me!" He cried out.

He turned his feet into his punk busters and kicked the creature hard. It went flying back and hit the wall, causing it to crack. Rex groaned and pulled himself up. His left arm was pretty much useless. The creature got back up and charged at him, hissing. Rex summoned his sword and charged forward as well, clashing blades with the beast. Something in the beast liked this fight, something about how it was challenging unlike all the other people he had fought but it was still hungry and needed to eat. Rex swung his blade but it jumped above it and tackled him. Rex rolled his body and kicked it off of him, not before it sliced a bit of his chest. He hissed in pain but luckily it wasn't a deep cut, unlike the others. He glared at it, he was extremely pissed off now. His ear piece started to beep again but he chose to ignore it. He dashed forward and swung his blade but it caught it with its own blades and swiped a kick, tripping Rex. Rex quickly rolled to the side when it swung a blade down, missing him and getting caught in the ground. Rex's earpiece beeped again and he groaned, clicking it.

"A little busy at the moment." Rex mumbled.

Holiday's voice gave away that she was panicking. "Rex, what's happening? You're nanites are going crazy and you're hurt! White told me about the EVO."

Rex ducked when the creature swung a blade and hit the wall behind him. Rex rolled to the side and swung his blade, missing the creature as it jumped back.

"It got my left arm. It's fast, deadly and smart." Rex replied back.

"Where's Six?" She questioned.

The creature jumped forward. Rex stuck the blade out, trying to hit it but it moved to the side and sliced the blade into three pieces. He cried out in pain again but it kicked him in the chest. He flew back and hit the wall with his back. He groaned in pain but spoke back.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I locked onto his ear piece and it says he's where you are. He seems to be moving around a lot." She said.

Rex was pretty confused by this. Six would have come out by now to help and there appeared to be no one here with him besides that EVO. Rex rolled to the side when it tried to slash again.

"What are you talking about? No one else is here besides me and the-" He froze.

"Rex?" Holiday questioned, slightly scared. "Rex, are you ok?"

The creature took this moment to gain a slice at Rex, hitting his back. Rex cried out and fell to the ground. He rolled to the side and hit the wall, dodging the creature. He realised he was next to his flashlight and grabbed it. He pointed it at the creature and glared at where its ears were and spotted the white dot that was an earpiece. His mouth fell open and he was frozen with shock.

"I-I think I know where Six is." He stuttered.

"Where? Is he ok?" Holiday questioned.

Rex swallowed and took a deep breath. "I think Six is the EVO."

"What!?" Holiday screamed into the ear piece.

Rex stood up and held his arms out. "S-Six?"

"Rex? What are you doing?!" Holiday cried out through the earpiece.

Rex turned it off and moved towards Six, very calmly.

"S-Six, it's me, Rex. Remember?" Rex said, very softly.

Six only hissed and slashed. Rex pulled back but Six got his right arm this time. Rex groaned and rubbed his arm. Six dashed forward and went to cut his head. Rex moved to the side but was sliced across the face and fell to the ground. He cried out and rubbed his face into his shoulder. His nanites were going crazy with all these wounds and how Rex wasn't fighting back. He didn't want to fight back, he may fight Six in training and such but this was a life and death moment here and he knew Six wouldn't mind killing him in this state. Rex pushed himself off the ground and turned, ready to face his mentor but he had vanished again. Rex panicked, knowing this thing was still around as he could feel something watching him. He listened to his surroundings but his blood was pumping too loud in his ears to focus. His vision was starting to become fuzzy due to blood loss, but he wasn't giving up. He had to cure Six, he just had to. He heard something move behind him thanks to the puddles and he flicked around, but he was too late. A sharp pain flared up in his stomach and he went to cry out, only to cough out blood violently. His eyes were wide and he couldn't move. He saw that Six had stabbed him straight through the stomach with both blades. His cold eyes held no emotion. Rex snapped out of it and quickly grabbed Six's arms, and his nanites went to work, despite the fact they wanted to repair Rex. The blades morphed out of his body and turned back into human hands. Rex's hands relaxed but still held the arms of his mentor. Six's body shifted back and his eyes opened to see only horror. Rex's blood painted them both and was mixed with the puddles below them. Rex pulled his hands away and one reached into his pocket, pulling out Six's sunglasses and shakily placed them onto the man's shocked face.

"T-there…all be-etter…" Rex stuttered, struggling to talk through the blood in his mouth but still smiled.

He body became light, everything went numb. His body fell forward and his mind was lost to the world. Six caught the boy and fell to his knees. He knew what happened to him but didn't know what damage he caused expect for piercing two blades in Rex's body. He was frozen, emotions flooded his face for all the first time in a long time. He felt dark, broken and disgusted with himself. He was a monster.

"R-Rex?" Six stuttered, not trusting his voice.

Rex's reddish brown eyes were slightly open but his mind was too blurry to understand what was going on. His skin was becoming paler by the second and blood kept pouring out his wounds. Six knew his nanites weren't going to be fast enough. Six clicked his ear piece.

"Six reporting in! Send help now!" He cried out.

Six didn't care if he was showing this much emotion, he only cared about Rex right now. No one responded and he tried again.

"Please! Somebody response!" He cried out again.

Rex coughed again, blood splattered onto the floor and Six's knees. Six pulled him closer and put pressure on the wound, not sure what else to do.

"S-Six?" Holiday spoke through the earpiece.

Six spoke right away. "Send help now! Rex is down!" He yelled.

"Sending help n-now." Holiday replied, her voice trying to stay strong but it betrayed her.

Six lifted his hand away from the earpiece and kept trying to help Rex. The young EVO turned his head to Six and with the little amount of strength he had, he spoke.

"S-Six…" He said, his voice so broken yet so soft.

Six was heavily breathing. "D-don't talk."

Rex ignored him and kept talking. "T-thanks for...caring for m-me...and b-believing in me…y-you were one of the only people...w-who did..."

Rex's eyes closed and he drifted off into the darkness of his mind. Six panicked as he felt Rex's heartbeat slow down.

"N-no, no, no! Rex, stay awake!" He gently shook Rex. "Please! Just stay awake! Help is coming, please just…s-stay…" His voice cracked in despair and pain.

He couldn't lose Rex, he had already lost enough in his life. He had enough of losing people in wars and fights, he especially didn't want to lose someone by his own hands.

Six was sitting outside the lab, waiting for Holiday and the other doctors to give him an update on Rex's health. He didn't show any emotion at all, more so than his usual self. He stared at the wall in front of him. He had gotten changed and cleaned when he got back and headed straight for the labs waiting room. Many people had walked past, giving Six strange or scared looks. Word got out fast about what had happened and who he had killed and hurt, including Providence's own EVO boy, Rex. White hasn't talked to him yet, knowing he needs his space. Holiday hadn't said much due to her being needed to help Rex. Six felt so alone, sitting outside that room. He was scared at he couldn't see Rex, scared that it was too late. He never expected him to become EVO or become one so deadly and dangerous. All the people he killed and hurt, all that blood that was upon his hands. He had washed away the blood but the memories will never wash away. He closed his eyes and remembered what Rex said to him.

'T-thanks for...caring for m-me...and b-believing in me…y-you were one of the only people...w-who did…' Rex's voice echoed in his mind.

The lab doors slid open and Holiday walked out. She stood in front of Six and he turned to her. His eyes hide behind his sunglasses but she could see the pain and depression they held.

"H-how is he?..." Six asked, not sure if he wanted to hear what she had to say.

Holiday placed a hand on his shoulder to relax him. "He lost a lot of blood, had a couple of broken bones, badly bruised and his nanites were reacting badly but…" She smiled softly. "He should recover."

Six felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders vanish when she said that. He wanted to smile but knew Rex would most likely be out cold for a while and be in pain as well. He was relieved Rex would be alive, he truly was. He had to hold himself back from jumping up and hugging Holiday.

He cleared his voice. "C-can I see him?" He asked, softly.

Holiday smiled gently again and nodded. He got up and paced over to the lab door, walking in and straight to where Rex laid. Rex's shirt was missing but his torso was covered in bandages. He had different pants on that were slightly shorter, just under the knees. His goggles were on a side table and his hair was wet from being cleaned out. There were bandages all over both arms and some on his face, including one on his forehead where his head hit the floor during the fight. His expression was peaceful, his mouth slightly open and he was gently breathing. Some IV tubes were hooked into him. Six took a deep breath and sighed, taking a seat and sitting next to him. He felt a hand touch him and looked to see it was Holiday who was giving him a soft, understandable look. He sighed and looked away.

"...He's going to hate me when he wakes up…" Six stated.

Holiday shook her head and took a seat next to him. "No, he won't."

"Yes he will-" Six was cut off by her.

"Six, he won't. He went through all that trouble to save you, do you really think he'll hate you?"

Six paused and looked away again. "Everyone else hates me. I killed and hurt so many people today."

Holiday looked down at his hand and held it, she felt him stiffen for a moment but he relaxed.

"Six, you're not alone with this feeling. Other who became EVO end up feeling the same way, as much as I hate to say it, people will have to get over it and understand it wasn't the person's fault that they become EVO." She whispered.

He didn't say anything, just kept looking away and she sighed.

"Rex won't be mad at you...I know it...and so should you…" She said.

He still didn't say anything and she pulled her hand away. She knew he needed space, so she got up and left, leaving him with Rex. When he was sure he was alone, Six took off his sunglasses and placed them on the side table, next to Rex's goggles. He rubbed his face, feeling so ashamed of himself. He should have known what was going on with himself, should have admitted that he wasn't feeling well, listened to Holiday and Rex, then maybe everything wouldn't be so bad. He killed people, even ate them as an EVO. He was disgusted with himself. He felt he should be sent away or something, he wanted some kind of punishment. He snapped out of his thoughts when Rex moved slightly. He appeared to be dreaming about something, mostly because of the medication he was on. Six stared at him, not sure what to do but his instincts took over and he reached a hand out. He brushed his fingers through Rex's hair. Rex subconsciously reacted and his head leant a bit closer, wanting to keep feeling this comfort. It was somewhat cute, like he was back being that young kid that Six had found. He has been protective with Rex since then, always trying to watch for him but now he's given him more space since Rex is becoming more grown up and better on the field, even if he still acts stubborn and rebellious. Most may not know but sometimes Six regrets bringing Rex to Providence since he is often treated like a weapon or a monster around this place, despite the fact he's the most human out of almost everyone in this place. He may be overconfident and annoying at times but he always means well, putting himself out there to help others, even going against White's orders many times so he can save someone rather than kill them. Six couldn't be more prouder of Rex. He was his own person, doing what was right and risking his life so many times but right now he wished Rex didn't risk his life to save him. Six would rather stay as an EVO and wander around than hurt Rex like this. His earpiece beeped and he clicked it.

White spoke through it. "Six, I need to talk with you."

Six paused for a moment, gazing at Rex before replying. "I'm on my way…"

He stood and left the room, taking one more look at his partner before leaving.

Many weeks went by and yet it felt like months. It felt so quiet and odd around Providence that people were really starting to miss Rex being around, causing chaos and playing pranks. It was something everyone was used to that without it, the place felt empty. Holiday and some other doctors often checked up on Rex. Noah came by a few times and often said to tell them when Rex wakes up. Bobo hadn't been himself, he was too quiet and tended to just stay in his and Rex's room. Six had the same plan each day, wake up and get ready in the morning, spend at least two or three hours in the training room and then, if there were no missions, go and spend the rest of the day sitting by Rex, waiting for him to wake up. Holiday noticed this after some time and came by with coffee during this, sometimes even staying with him, even if he didn't speak much. Rex was clearly healing faster than a normal person, thanks to his nanites and Holiday said he should be waking up any day now. During one day, Six was out in the zoo, helping some men corner an EVO that needed to be tested on but it was rather fast. It was some bug like EVO that make clicking noises. Despite the fact he was focused on catching it, he could tell that the others were staring at him, giving him odd looks once again. The staring had died down a bit as people started to understand that it wasn't his fault with what he did as an EVO but there were still many that gave him scared or death glares. The bug EVO was rushing towards him and he jumped to the side, planting his blades into one of its back legs, pinning it to the ground. It roared out in pain and tried to swat at him but a rope wrapped around its head and then it's other body parts, pinning it to that spot. Six pulled his blade out of its leg and placed them back in his pocket. He heard a beep and turned on his ear piece.

"Yes?" He asked.

Holiday spoke. "He's awake."

Without any other words, he ran off, not even telling the others what happened. He pushed past many people, some even yelled at him before walking away again. He slammed through the lab doors and saw Holiday and an awoken Rex. Rex was clutching his chest lightly with one arm while the other one kept him stable as he sat upright. He looked exhausted despite being asleep for so long and some pain lingered on his face but he smiled and waved.

"I see I've been missed…" Rex said, voice still weak.

Six walked up to the pair and placed a hand on Rex's shoulder.

"How do you feel?" Six asked, cursing himself for not acting a bit more caring.

Rex shrugged. "Fine, just a bit stiff and sore but I'll be fine."

Six noticed that Holiday had vanished from the spot next to him and turned, seeing her walking out the door and giving him a small wink. Rex was rubbing one of his arms.

"My nanites come in pretty handy huh?" Rex smirked but stopped when Six gave him an odd look.

Six took a deep breath and his eyes drifted off as he spoke. "L-look Rex. I can't thank you enough for...doing that for me."

Rex raised an eyebrow. "What was I supposed to do, leave you like that? No way, you're ugly enough as it is." He tried to joke but he knew Six wasn't really in the mood.

Six bent down to have equal eye contact with Rex.

"I...I thought I lost you." Six's voice cracked slightly.

Rex heard that crack in his voice and that gave him enough to know how much Six cared. He was happy with that, happy that Six cared enough to try and break down his emotion wall and let some of it slip out. Those words meant so much as well, that Six was scared to lose him because he cared for him. Rex couldn't help with the small tears appear in his eyes as he smiled.

"I thought I lost you, ya ninja nanny." Rex said.

Rex leant forward and hugged Six. Six stiffened for a moment, unsure of what to do but his arms lifted up and wrapped around Rex and held him gently. Holiday was right. Rex didn't hate him, he loved him, like a father. So many had said that Six was like the father figure to Rex and he tried to push that thought away, thinking it was impossible for him to be a father of any kind but with Rex, he had a feeling it was possible.
