Disclaimer: I don't own Generator Rex or the color green.


-Rex's POV-

The question had been nagging at Rex for almost as long as he had known Agent Six. He'd talked to Holiday, Bobo, and even Callan about it, but they knew as little as he did. His speculation with Noah hadn't turned up any good ideas either.

Only one person left that he could ask.

Rex fell into step behind Six, and glanced around. There weren't any other people (or chimps) in the hallway. Perfect timing, then. He opened his mouth to speak-

"What do you want, Rex," Six said without turning around.

How does he do that? "Well, see, there's been this thing, that I've, um, been kinda wondering about, so-"

"What do you want."

Suddenly asking Six about this didn't seem like such a good idea, but there was no turning back now.

-Six's POV-

"Why are you always wearing a green suit?"

Six slowed.

Nobody had ever asked about the suit. Sure, Rex had- often- commented about how he always wore the same outfit. He had overheard agents discussing it on their breaks. Holiday had tried to subtly guide conversations to the subject. The monkey had cracked jokes about it. But this was the first time anyone had actually asked.

He could give an answer of the 'none of your business' variety, but that would do nothing but fuel Rex's curiosity. He could lie, but that would probably come back to bite him later. The truth, at least, would satisfy the teen.

Who was he trying to fool? Rex would have more questions than ever. He wouldn't get any peace and quiet for weeks.

And yet...

-Rex's POV-

"Green was my daughter's favorite color."

In the time it took to process that, Six had gotten a good sixty yards ahead. The teen ran to catch up.

"Waitwaitwait. You have a daughter."

"Had," Six corrected. If he hadn't known better, he'd have thought the agent sounded... sad?

A door slid shut behind Six, leaving Rex alone in the hall.


A/N: I thought of this idea and it wouldn't go away until I wrote it. I'm still not sure if I like the way it turned out, though. Thoughts?
