This is yet another 'Alias' fanfic I've got going, but it's farther along than 'I Spy'. Basically writing those two 'Alias' episodes (can't remember the names) as though Sydney was the one to get sick not Vaughn.

As Sydney walked to medical services a million scenarios ran through her head. She just hoped that her worst fears wouldn't come true.

"Agent Bristow, we we're told by Agent Vaughn that you were in close contact with the Rimbaldi device."

"Yes. I was immersed for about two or three minutes. Will someone please tell me what's going on."

"We believe that the device you destroyed in the Tai Pei lab was the 'giant petri dish' for the virus that infected those men in Geneva. You and Agent Vaughn might have been exposed and we need to run some tests to see if either of you have been infected."

"What if Sloane tries to contact me?"

"We've spoken to you father and he's covering for you."

They led her to a 'cell' where Vaughn was already waiting. He got up when he saw Sydney walk in. Making eye contact for a moment they both sat down. Vaughn knew Sydney was probably freaking out. She had been submerged in that water for a good two minutes. Still you wouldn't know that was how Sydney felt because she knew how to hide her emotions, but Vaughn could see it in her eyes. He wrapped a comforting arm around her while she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I'm scared Vaughn"

"I know, it'll be okay"

"My father turned himself in."

"What? Why did he do that?"

"I don't know but he's going before the review board tomorrow."

"God Syd, I'm so sorry."

"I just feel like my whole world has been turned upside down. First my dad doing those experiments… on me. Then my mom, now this. I don't think I can take much more."

"It's going to be okay. You should get some sleep."

"Good idea"

Sydney got up and walked to the other bed and laid down. Vaughn just laid in his bed watching her drift off to sleep.

~*~*~* In the middle of the night *~*~*~

Vaughn was finally drifting of to sleep when he heard Sydney talking. He looked over at her and saw that she was still asleep.

"No. Don't frost the pie!"

She rolled over and was quiet again. Vaughn laughed and closed his eyes again. They didn't stay closed for long though. So, he just laid there watching
Sydney sleep. Vaughn felt so guilty about what had happened to Sydney. The only reason she was in this mess was because of him.

~*~*~* Flashback *~*~*~

Vaughn had felt the explosion as he ran through the lab looking for Sydney. Then he saw her running towards him. Lights fizzing and smashing all around her a tidal wave of water pursuing her. Sydney screamed at hi to run but he just stood there looking at her.

Sydney grabbed Vaughn and pulled him along with her as the doors at the end of the hall began to close. With all the strength she had left Sydney pushed Vaughn through the doorway. His survival meant more than her own.

Vaughn grabbed the fire extinguisher and tried with all his might to break the glass. She mouthed for him to go but he shook his head and kept pounding. Two guards grabbed him and started to drag him away from her.

"Sydney!"

~*~*~* End Flashback *~*~*~

Well how was that for an ending? For people that might want to know Vaughn still ended up almost getting dissected in France and Sydney was still shot by her mother. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I'll update again soon, don't forget to review. ^_~
