Miss Freak Nation
AN: Back with more S/K fun. No, the title isn't from the S2 finale. It's an old nickname I had a few years ago. Don't ask, don't tell. This one is set alternate 'Designate This' and I have decided to make this a series. Maybe five stories? Anyway, tell me what you think.
Please review. Constructive crit is needed. Oh yeah, and check out ch 1 of FA2 – all rewritten and nice (
Expect to see Ch 1 in the next few days (
*******Prologue: Down to Five.******
It was a long trip back to Seattle after the raid on Manticore. There was silence in the van – Lydecker drove, Logan was unconscious and Syl and Krit were completely silent.
Max is KIA. Zack is MIA. Syl twisted a piece of rope around her fingers, thinking. MIA in Manticore. Might as well be KIA in Manticore. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to imagine what it'd be like – both Max and Zack lying on hospital beds, eyes open and unseeing, skin that funny yellow colour, like wax. And the injuries. No doubt, the X7s would be responsible – maybe a bullet wound, like what killed Max? Or maybe Zack had been too slow and an X7 had broken his neck.
Krit rested his head back, lost in his thoughts. Max was dead. Zack was Most Likely Dead. Gone for ever. He'd never hear Zack yell at him for being careless, for saying too much, for sleeping with Syl. For caring so damn much.
Suddenly Krit was aware that Syl was talking. Not to him, but saying, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,' over and over again.
"It wasn't our fault, kitten," Krit murmured in her ear, stroking her hair.
She looked up, her face void of any emotion. "But it was me who…I was the one who said it was a good idea."
Krit shook his head. "You spoke up first – if you hadn't, I would've. Anyway, Maxie was all for it."
Syl nodded, and rested her head against Krit's shoulder.
When they did get back to Seattle, Logan's friend Bling took them all back to Foggle Towers and made them dinner, which no one ate. Logan was so upset, Syl was ready to offer to break his neck, so he could join Max. Probably out of some misguided loyalty to Zack, but Syl disliked Logan a lot.
In the end, Bling made Logan take some sleeping pills and sent Syl and Krit to crash in the guestroom together.
They both awoke early and was greeted by Bling who made them eggs. "Logan is trying to hack Za…your brother's contact number so that you two can contact Jondy and Zane."
"And Jace," Krit added. Syl looked at him.
"Jace didn't escape with us."
"She was in Seattle for an assassination and Max discovered she was pregnant. Max helped Jace get under the radar," Logan said, appearing clutching a piece of paper.
Syl took a little bit of pleasure seeing how haggard Logan looked.
"What's that?" Krit motioned to the paper.
"I hacked Zack's number and only got tentative locations for both Jondy and Zane. I got phone number and location for Jace and baby Max," Logan said, handing the papers to Krit. Out of some misguided dislike of Zack, Logan found Syl just as bad as her older brother. "May I ask a question?"
"Go for it," Syl asked, gazing at the paper.
"Syl, are you and Zack directly related?" Logan asked, a bit testy.
"Yup. Older brother in action and DNA code."
"Okay. Well, my phone number is there – check in with me and I'll tell you if I can find more on Jondy and Zane." Logan turned and walked away.
"And we are dismissed," Krit joked quietly, as they grabbed their bags and walked out.
"I guess we aren't going to Florida then."
