So I'm taking a crack at Generator Rex. I love the series. It's so cool and awesome.
Summary: It has now been 7 years after the explosion that started the nanites and a cure for the Evos still has not been found. 17 year olds Rex and Noah along with the rest of Providence are still out there fighting and trying to find it. Providence then takes on the help of an Evo who says that she has a possible idea for a cure, problem is Van Kleiss and the Pack don't want a cure to be found. Fighting, drama and love act as interruptions for the discovery of the cure, will one ever be found? Rated for language and future content.

Holiday typed on her laptop. She read over the screen and then typed some more. The door then slid open behind her and then it closed. She heard footsteps walk to her and then stop just beside her. She lifted her head. "Hello Six."
"Holiday, where is Rex?"
Typical. No hello. She blinked. "Last time I checked in with Rex, he, Noah and Bobo were at the arcade in town."
"How long ago was this?"
"About ten minutes ago." Six then turned and walked away without uttering another word. The door opened and then closed. Holiday then looked at the closed door. "You're welcome Six." She muttered before directing her attention back to the laptop.
-*- Arcade -*-
Rex laughed as he kept on pushing the buttons. "Come on Noah! I thought you were good at basketball."
Noah groaned. "This is virtual basketball, there's a difference."
"Yeah yeah kid." Bobo said as he sat on top of the game system. "Whatever lets you sleep at night."
Within moments Rex threw his hands in the air. "Yeah!" He laughed and then playfully punched Noah in the shoulder.
"As I said before," Noah said as he rubbed his shoulder, "it's virtual. It's different."
"Want another round or are you afraid that you're going to get your butt kicked again?"
"For the 5th time." Bobo added.
Noah was about to answer when Six showed up. "There you are."
"Oh hey Six." Rex greeted. "Are my services required?"
"No. Not this time."
"So what gives?" Rex asked.
"Did you forget that we have an Evo come today? We have to be there to greet—"
"Yeah yeah." Rex interrupted.
"Hey Six." Noah called out. "Would you mind if I tagged along as well?"
"I don't see why not." Six then turned and walked away.
"Oh this will be interesting." Bobo stated as he jumped off the game system.
-*- Moments later, Providence -*-
The four of them walked silently. In a few seconds they were in the building's lobby. The four stood in a circle, something that came now naturally. "So who is this Evo Six?" Rex asked.
"She is said to have an idea on a cure for Evos. Of course we don't know fully because we haven't seen her information yet."
"She must be smart then." Noah said. "Even Holiday hasn't gotten close to finding a cure."
Bobo scoffed. "Well, it's hard when she's dealing with us knuckleheads, and by us I mean you guys."
"Us?" Rex laughed. "You're the one to talk." Bobo chuckled and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"In my opinion all of you are hard to keep up with." Holiday said as she stood feet from the circle.
"Hey Doc." The three boys greeted, Six remained quite with a nod establishing his hello.
"So Holiday, where's the new Evo?" Rex asked.
Noah nodded. "Yeah. I'm interested in her."
"Her work or how she will look like?" Bobo smartly put in.
Noah groaned. "Why do you always pick on me?"
Rex placed a hand on his shoulder and shook him slightly. "Your just fun to mess with."
Holiday smiled and shook her head. "She'll be here in a moment. She wanted to call her parents, promised to call them once she got to Providence." Holiday paused. "She seems nice but I bet you that she's so nervous. Rex, Bobo and Noah, would you mind showing her around town? She told me that she's never been to a big city before."
"Really?" Noah exclaimed. "Where did she live before?"
"In a small island in the Pacific."
"Oh. So I'm guessing only big towns."
Holiday nodded. "That is probably it."
The sound of wheels against the polished floor of the Providence's lobby stopped any conversation between them. Everyone's attention turned towards the source of the sound. Walking towards the circle a naturally tan around 17 year old girl, about 5'4'', with long, golden blonde hair that stopped halfway down her back approached them. She wore a purple tank top and a navy blue skirt that stopped just before her knees. A light orange belt with red rubies clung to her side. In her hair a blue headband, the same color as the skirt, pulled back her hair and her bangs were pulled forward and covered her left eye. An orange flower with another ruby in the middle of the flower decorated the headband and the same identical flower hanged around her neck in a necklace. Light grey, almost silver, ballet flats donned her feet matched the color of her eyes. Her face structure is heart-shaped and seemed almost perfect in proportion to her facial features. She stopped beside Holiday and looked at the guys before her, her eyes landing on Noah last.
"Uh…" Noah mumbled before gulping. Damn, she's hot.
"Well, this is Elise Salvador." Holiday introduced. "Elise this is Six, Rex, Bobo and Noah." She pointed to each of the guys when she said their names. "Rex and Bobo are Evos like you are and Noah is Rex's friend." She smiled at them. "Six is an agent that works for Providence." She said without any enthusiasm. Six looked at her. Elise nodded and extended her hand towards them. She shook hands in the order Holiday introduced them. She silently said their names as she shook hands her eyes looking over the face of the person she shook hands with. She then pulled her hand out of Noah's when he didn't let go. Noah chuckled nervously. "Right." Holiday then said a smile on her face. "Let me help you to your room Elise."
"Can I help?" Noah asked quickly, impulsively lifting his hand in the air. Elise held back a smile.
Holiday chuckled softly. "All right Noah. Carry her bags for me."
"Okay." He took her extra large suitcase from beside her, shooting her a grin.
She walked after Holiday, rolling her eyes. Six was the first to walk away in another direction and Noah followed Elise, being stopped by Bobo. "So, are you interested for her work or looks kid?"
Noah felt blood rush to his face. "Shut up." He growled. As he walked away he heard the snickering of his two friends behind him.
Holiday and Elise talked all the way to the room. Noah just walked silently behind them. Upon reaching Elise's new room Holiday turned to face Noah. "I've got to get to work now. Would you mind helping her get situated and then go find Rex and Bobo for the tour?"
"Yeah. Sure Doc." Holiday nodded and turned to Elise. With a nod she walked away. Elise immediately went inside her knew room. She looked around the room. "You should be happy." Elise looked at him. "It took months for Rex to get a room this size. The thing is, he doesn't have his own bathroom; you do. It's in the back corner there." Elise sighed softly and threw her bag onto the bed. The room itself was big and exactly like Rex's except for Bobo's bed and the fact that there was a bathroom and a private computer. She then walked over and took her suitcase from Noah muttering a thank you and then throwing it on her bed. She unzipped it and started to unpack as if he wasn't there. "So, uh, what do you like to do other than find a cure for Evos?"
Elise turned her head slightly in his direction and then focused once again on her stuff. "I like to sing and dance. In fact I wanted to become a singer before the explosion 7 years ago. Then once that happened I wanted to find a cure and help the world. Besides that I like fine arts, defense and weaponry skills and sports."
"No lie?" Noah smiled. A sophisticated, sporty, and kick ass girl. Just his type. "I am like king of basketball." He threw himself into a chair. He could see her smile. "I'm more of a sport person myself. Basketball and kick-boxing mostly." After a moment of silence he spoke again. "So tell me about your home."
She paused for a moment. "It's a small island in the Pacific. Ua Huka, it's one of the Marquesas Islands, in French Polynesia. It's so small that there are only around 600 people on the island."
"So I guess that makes finding a guy hard huh?" He asked a cocky smile on his face.
She giggled. "It's not as bad as you think." She turned her head and looked at him. She then took a bundle of clothes and walked over to the dresser. "But all the guys are all the same. Not much of a difference." She placed the clothes neatly in the drawer. She then closed it and opened another. Walking over to the bed again she picked up another bundle and walked back to the dresser. She did this until all her clothes were put away. She then put up her empty suitcase in a closet, and then walked to the bag she carried with her and went to the bathroom. She immediately came back out and then walked up to him, stopping before him.
"Ready to go?" He asked as he stood. She nodded and the two walked out of the room. Moments later the tour of the city started and the four started to get to know each other better. It took an hour and a half before they reached their last destination, the basketball court. "This is where we play b-ball." He said as he leaned on the chain link fence.
Elise looked at him. "Let's play."
"What?" The guys said in shock as they looked at her.
She nodded. "We'll make it interesting. You boys against me."
"Wouldn't that be unfair?" Rex asked dumbly.
She shrugged. "It all depends."
Noah chuckled. "Are you saying that you could be better than us? Better than me?"
She flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked dangerously close to him. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." She giggled softly and walked into the court.
Bobo chuckled. "I like this girl." He then went over to the basketball rack that the city leaves out. He pulled out a ball and threw it over to Rex.
"All right Elise. I'll take on your challenge." Rex said.
Noah nodded. "Count me in."
She giggled. "Great. The rules are no pushing, shoving or traveling. Each basket is one point, first one to seven wins. " Elise then positioned herself in front of the basket. "Your move." Immediately Rex ran forward to the basket. Elise didn't move until he threw the ball in the air. She leaped up and held onto the rim of the basket and hit the ball away. Noah caught the ball and starred at her. She dropped down to the ground and looked at him. Noah threw the ball from the ball from the usual three pointer spot. Elise once again leaped up but this time she took the ball in her hands and slam dunked the ball. She landed on her feet and stood, the ball bouncing beside her. "One point for me."
The guys looked at each other and then her. The game continued on, the boy getting their butts handed to them on a plate. At the game point, Bobo held a rolled up newspaper up and pretended as if it was a microphone. "At the game point of this really sad game, Elise leads 6 points to 2 in a b-ball upset. At the moment Noah has the ball, now Rex and now Noah again. They throw the ball every which way but Elise just stands there, waiting for the opportunity to strike. I think I'll call her Striking Cobra!"
"Bobo!" The three yell at him.
"All right, I'll stop." He said as he threw the newspaper behind him.
Noah bounced the ball as Rex got closer to Elise. Rex then stood right beside Elise. "If you think being close to me will help Rex," she started, "then you are sadly mistaken."
He scoffed. "Whatever you say."
She rolled her eyes and looked at Noah. Then without warning he threw the ball way off. Rex ran over and his hands changed into his Smackhands and took the ball. Rex then threw it back to Noah who by this time was closer to the basket. He caught it, aimed and shot the ball towards the basket. The ball went over Elise's head. Her eyes narrowed and then she wrapped one leg around the basketball pole and quickly climbed up. She swung her leg over the headboard, grabbed the ball just before it hit the basket. Shooting a smile towards the two boys she just dropped the ball into the basket earning her last point. The ball kept hitting the floor and all three boys had their mouths gaped open. Elise then slid down the pole and walked towards the three. "Told you it wouldn't help." Rex's Smackhands reverted back and Noah just blinked rapidity.
Bobo recovered first. He jumped off the box he was sitting on and walked towards Elise. "That was awesome! What do you call that move Striking Cobra?" He humorously asked as he lifted an invisible mic up.
She giggled. "I call it the Gaped Mouths move." She laughed as did Bobo.
"I shall repeat, I like this girl!" The two laughed again. Rex and Noah snapped out of it and laughed as well. After they placed the ball back in the rack the four started to go back to Providence, a new friendship between them.
-* Meanwhile, back at Providence -*-
Holiday sat at her desk. Papers all around, even on the floor. She sighed and shuffled around the papers. The door opened and Six walked in. He stepped over the papers on the floor and stood beside her. "Holiday."
"Six." Six looked at her though his dark glasses. After a while she spoke again. "What do you want Six. I am very busy."
"Are you still mad at me Holiday?"
That question threw her off. She turned her chair and looked up at him. "What?"
"Are you still mad at me?" He repeated.
She blinked and turned her chair around so her back is facing him. "No. Why would I? I mean you did practically call me stupid two days ago. I don't give a shit on what you call me." Holiday rarely cursed and whenever she did Six would always find himself shocked.
Holding back a sigh he paced a hand on the back of her chair and spun her around. She squealed in shock and held onto the bottom of the chair. "I apologize for saying that Holiday. I was frustrated and I shouldn't have gone to you then." He wanted to add 'and you know how I get when I'm frustrated' but he was sure she already knew.
She sighed heavily. "I know that you were frustrated and I forgive you, but it still… hurt me when I heard that."
"I'm sorry Holiday. It won't happen again." With that he walked away, once again stepping over the papers on the ground. When the door closed she looked at the door. She closed her eyes and sighed again. Thinking it was about time to go to bed she stood up and walked to the door, not caring about the papers on the floor.
Well this is chapter 1. Please review, flames and suggestion completely welcomed.
