Time-Line: Present Day, Mulder and Scully's bedroom pre-2012, Krychek needs to tell his side of the story even in death.

Disclaimer: I do not own the X-Files, it's written for fun not profit.

Krychek looked back at Scully. "Never trust a woman! I know you think you know her. I know you have been together a long time and you have a damn child together. But you never really know them. No matter what they say or do, you don't know them. Don't ever forget that...", he said, thinking about Marita Covarrubias.

"My relationship with Marita was supposed to be about sex only. But that wasn't exactly true. It's dangerous in our game to develop feelings for someone else. We had the same goals. We were both CGB's henchmen, the difference was that she knew I was a double agent. She knew it but she didn't betray me at first, no, she used me one last time and then took that boy. That was a grave mistake on her part because without the vaccine, the boy was useless and she became infected. That was my payback for her betraying me. I came to your apartment Mulder to tell you to get that stick up outta your ass and realize that there was a war going on. That was when you were doubting yourself, doubting what you believed in. I came to you Mulder because despite our past histories together, I was beginning to realize the truth. Oh, I'd still cut you down given the chance but I was starting to see the whole picture and I knew the truth and once you know the truth, there's no going back. The world is no longer safe or happy. It's only to be dreaded. So I turned my attention to targeting Skinner. I knew if I used Nano technology against him, he'd have no choice but to do what I wanted him too and once I controlled your boss, I controlled you. Well, CGB, the son of bitch had me thrown into prison in Tunisia, left to rot in an overcrowded cesspool until they needed me again and it wasn't too long before they did. They sent Marita to get me. I didn't trust her but that didn't stop me from banging her."

Mulder tightened his grip around Scully's waist as his eyes twitched. Krychek waited until he was sure Mulder had returned to deep slumber.

"A lot had happened while I was gone in that shit-hole. I had nothing to do with Scully's cancer or her cure. I had nothing to do with her child Emily either or the fact that she was left barren, I only knew that it happened and who was behind it. I found out that he'd brought your ex back, Diana to lure you away from Scully, when that didn't happen, they decided to remove her once again, to take the most important thing in this world to you, the love of your life, Dana Scully."

Krychek stared over at them both, snuggled up against each other as if the past had never happened.

"After you got the vaccine and saved Scully from that Frozen Space Ship, you returned more determined than ever and so what they did was to have your former wife take the X-Files away from you and put that little weasel half brother of yours Jeffrey in your place. See that's when I found out that the reason Cancerman protected you all this time. It was not because if they killed you, they feared your death would spark a fucking crusade...no because you were his favorite son. The child from a woman he still loved even after her death. I didn't know the son-of-a-bitch had a heart but apparently he did when it came to your mother Teena Kuipers and when it involved you and Samantha. Bringing Jefferey into the X-Files was obviously an attempt to give his legitimate son a position of authority. But Jeffrey didn't have the balls for it. He was weak, very weak. Jeffrey couldn't realize that Great Men sacrifice and that your father, CGB was a great man in his own right. I admired him for being such a bastard. He sent me to go with Jefferey on a job but Jefferey was useless. I ended up killing the alien bounty hunter myself. But when his mother Cassandra was killed by the rebel force, Jeffrey turned on your father and that decision cost him dearly. Cancerman shot Jefferey and experimented on him just as he did you but worst, much, much worst. Worst than how he experimented on Marita. Cancerman experimented on Jeffrey in a way he would have never done you. You reminded him of himself. I think he saw in you, his legacy. He never saw that in Jeffrey. Yeah, he cut into your brain some but he hideously disfigured Jeffrey, burning his skin from the inside out. CGB did what any great man would do, he sacrificed another of his children for experimenting. He'd experimented on Samantha too but he had so much hate for Jeffrey. I've seen nothing like it. The poor bastard. Yeah,Samantha died but she was spared the worst of it."

Krychek tried to clear his thoughts and focus. "You know, he killed Diana too, because she betrayed him. Never Put your faith in People, Mulder, Trust No One! That old ass son-of-a-bitch then took Scully on that little joy ride. The sick bastard liked her. Did you know that, Mulder? The sick bastard had the hots for her. Hell, what guy didn't? But, he knew that if he could cause a rift between the two of you, that's all he needed to distract you. But nothing seemed to break you apart, not Diana, not cancer, not anything it seemed. But he wasn't through with either one of us yet. He was dying which made me happy but he wanted me and Marita to continue with the work. That's when me and Marita came to all of you, Skinner, you and Scully. Honestly, it was a surprise to me as well as you to find out that the ship took you, Mulder. Hell, that could've been both me and Marita had we found the ship. He accused of not trying and he was right. He was wheelchair bound and helpless and so I threw him down the stairs. I thought that was the end of him. I admired him even as I attempted to kill him. CGB is hard to kill."

Krychek sighed as the memories flooded him. "When you and Scully decided to do IVF, it gave what was left of the Syndicate an idea. We used some of Scully's stolen ova and we had your sperm, did you know that? They had moved on in our experiments past the clones with green toxic alien blood like Emily. And so we attempted to create a child greater than Emily. We failed once again. Cancerman was disappointed when your IVF attempt failed so miserably. We soon figured out that because you were both exposed to the virus that you were both tainted. It wasn't at all surprising that you too became lovers, why it took you too so long I don't know? Where you scared Mulder? You could've been with her the whole time, you dumb fuck! And yes we did monitor it all, we recorded every single time, and I mean every single time," he smirked as he looked at Scully.

"Damn, the things you two did to each other. There's not a porno in this world better than replaying those moments. But, imagine our surprise when two years later, Scully became pregnant. There was a scramble on our end to find out exactly how because all of our attempts with her stolen ova had only created unviable hybrids. They were all flawed and had to be destroyed."

Krychek leaned in closer again. "We started experimenting on the wombs of barren women. We had tested quite a few barren abductees and had triggered them to ovulate because of the chip in their necks. These women to our horror gave birth to anomalies, either they were Aliens or the children were horribly disfigured. So we followed Scullys progress closely. Her doctor was one of ours, and so we expected her to have the same abnormalities but to our surprised, there wasn't. Scully's ova had been manipulated and harvested aggressively leaving her barren with only Branch DNA still present. So we weren't sure what your child would be. We didn't know if it would be another alien or if he would be what we were hoping to achieve, a perfect human hybrid. But what we found was that William was conceived naturally and without our interference. He was created because Scullys body somehow healed itself and she ovulated naturally that one time. Did the chip in her neck cause her to ovulate at just the right moment? Possibly. Your child was a perfect union of the both of you, a miracle."

"By then you had returned to life. Only you would be that fucking lucky, Mulder, to return from the dead!", Krychek said, looking down at his arm that had returned to him in death. "Your return complicated things between your relationship with Scully but your return also complicate things for us as well. You were exposed to the black oil and would soon change into an Alien. When you lay in that hospital bed after coming back to life, I ordered Skinner to either kill you or your unborn baby. Doggett, that ignorant bastard interfered and so I destroyed your vaccine guaranteeing that you would become a Super Soldier. Getting rid of you was all I had ever wanted. But that little incident with Doggett stopping Skinner from killing you and then chasing after me, caused Skinner and Scully to stumbled upon a cure for you, to stop you from becoming a Super Soldier like Billy Miles. You miraculously healed and became normal again. But being the royal stupid fuck-up that you are Mulder, you fucked up with Scully for quite some time. You thought Scully had moved on without you. No one even had a shot with Scully because of you, she only loved you. You were a fuckin' Oxford graduated pretty-boy but you could be such a dick sometimes, you know that Mulder? You treated her like shit at first. We watched everything, Mulder. We could see it all. We saw her tears and how you pulled back from her. But later you redeemed yourself and start acting like a fuckin' man and stepped up to the plate."

Scully sighed in her sleep and Krychek stared at the poutiness of her lips. He wanted to touch her so badly but he was now dead. He returned his attention back to Mulder. "We had been working on a new Project, The New Syndicate, that is, since everyone else was dead but then they pushed me out of the Syndicate. Bastards! The New Syndicate was comprised of Super Soldiers and the Aliens duplicates who were replacing people. That's when I decided to come to you, again, Mulder, Lucky for me I showed up when I did with Billy Miles chasing after a very pregnant Scully. I knew so much then, I knew that if you stayed alive, it would be the end of human kind. You had to die, Mulder. It was either you or your son. You then surprised me by entrusting me with Scully and your unborn child as Billy Miles searched for you both. And let me tell you something, Mulder, I was very tempted to kill them both but I knew as long as I had you, I could I let her and Monica go without incident, plus I still wanted to know what this child would be."

"Another thing is this, Mulder, I could feel Billy Miles coming as I waited in Skinner's office. I felt him just as you could read minds once. That was my hidden power from the black oil, no one not even Cancerman knew that I could feel them. I knew Billy Miles was coming and I tried to leave Skinner there to die. He didn't die but he got out of the hospital, he came for me. I told Skinner to kill you Mulder. I told Skinner to save the world by sacrificing your one life for all of humankind but instead he shot me between the eyes. It took a few seconds before my body realized that it was dead. It wasn't an easy transition, life to death but that 's also when I knew that keeping you and Scully alive all this time was vital to man's survival and all my attempts to kill you were wasted. The dead, the dead have perfect understanding. I could see it all. You and Scully had created the ultimate human, a perfect human child with no human frailties, who was extremely special. Your son was perfect in every respect except one, he had Activated Alien DNA coming from the both of you. Unlike Gibson Praise, his Alien DNA was much more defined. That's what gave him the powers he possessed."

"Your son, he is the key to it all Mulder. You wondered why the Super Soldiers left him alone? All cultures have myths where they talk about the Star People, Mulder, I'm surprised you didn't realize this. They all talked about Star Children being raised for five years by their Human mothers and then the Alien fathers would return to take them back up into the heavens. I know you know the story. I heard you tell it to Scully one late night on your couch when we were watching you. The aliens left William alone because he was a newborn but once he is a certain age, they will come for him. He will be the right age by Dec. 21st, 2012. There is an Alien prophecy that CGB was aware of. One which seems to becoming true with you and Scully and with your son, William. How CGB knew this, I don't know, perhaps the Aliens told him. But they believed that if you were to die, William will side with them when they come back but that if you lived, Mulder, then you would poison William's mind against them. That's why your life was threatened and why you had to leave Scully and the baby. Everyone was trying to kill him. Those religious freaks though, they took him to protect him but his powers proved stronger than anyone could've guessed. But, even so they would've just kept coming after William. I felt sorry for Scully, always being attacked as she tried to protect your son. I could only watch, helplessly. There's not much I could do dead."

Krychek watched as Mulder turned over, laying on his left side, his hot breath blowing directly in Krychek's face. "The last straw for Scully was when your half brother Jeffery injected William with iron. Scully's decision to give him up without knowing his whereabouts was brilliant, it was. Little did she know that Williams powers have not fully gone away, that they will increase with intensity as time goes by. Little did she know that the date was set and that time was running out, when she sent him away. And what she doesn't know is that they are still searching for him if they don't already know where he is. But he's not old enough yet and its not time for colonization so they will keep their distance. But, the time is very, very near. They won't stop until they find him and either he will work with them to destroy you and everyone else or William will be the one to stop them. I'm sure you've wondered if you both will be there in the end. Scully is actually immune to the virus just as I was before Skinner killed me. He wanted to give you the cure, but he said you were too stubborn. But, I'm sure you'll be there. Its your destiny."

"Let me tell you something Mulder. Had I'd known what I know now I would've switched sides. I realize now in death that I was on the wrong side of the fight the entire time so that's why I came to you when you were in that secret military facility. I helped you escape. It's why I appeared to you in your cell, talking to you, telling you that you needed to run as soon as you got the opportunity. And at your trial, I appeared to you so you would protect Marita's life. You saw us, X and myself, in that court room, Mulder. You saw us. What you don't know, Mulder, is that I still help you from time to time. I was there when that evil son-of-a-bitch had his face seared off, I couldn't have been happier. But, what you don't know is that he isn't dead. He's immune to the coming virus and you'll see him again."

Krychek stared at Mulder sleeping. "I want you to know, Mulder that you are not alone. You are both being protected by me, by the Gunmen, by all the people that you lost in your lives. They are all around you, waiting for the time that you'll both need it. Enjoy whats left of your lives while you can, Mulder,because as time slips by, the world is changing. They're conducting mass abductions in the final stages as we speak. They're replacing people with duplicates, hybrid aliens with hidden powers and agendas. They're preparing for their return and the fight for heaven and earth. Stand Up and Fight. Mulder, all I can say to you from the other side is this. Don't Give Up!"

Mulder's eyes flew open as he looked around the room. He sat up on his hunches and peered into the darkness. Scully turned over to stare at him. "Mulder? What's wrong?"

"I...", he said, shaking his head. "I had the weirdest dream, Scully."

"About what?", she said, sitting up so she could rub his back. "Mulder, what's wrong?"

Mulder leaned into her touch and closed his eyes. "It was Krychek."

"Krychek?", she said, cocking her head to the side.

"He was telling me his life story and telling us Don't Give Up!"

Scully huffed. "Okay, now you know that was a dream, Mulder. He was telling you his story?", she said with a yawn.

"Yeah," he said, shaking his head. "It felt so real."

"Had to be a dream," she said, pushing his shoulder down so he would lay back down. She then curled up to his chest. "Had to be."

"It seemed more than real, though Scully."

"You once told me that 'A dream is an answer to a question we haven't yet learned how to ask.'"

"Yeah, I did," he said, rubbing her arms in lazy circles.

"Just get some sleep, Mulder and maybe the reason you dreamed about Krychek will come to you.", she sighed.

"Okay," he said, squeezing her tightly before loosening his grip. "I love you."

"I love you too," she said with a secondary yawn.

"Good night," he said, and closed his eyes tightly.

Krychek looked over to the corner of the bedroom where the Lone Gunmen were standing along with Mr. X and Deep Throat, watching the couple as they slept.

"That's all for now," Deep throat said. "We'll keep working on them another day. Its implanted into his subconscious and it'll remain there until the time is right."

"Let's let them sleep in peace," Langley said.

"I could use seeing Scully in her nightgown a little longer," Froehike smirked.

"Come on, Guys. This is their private time. No intruding.", Byers said.

"Let's go", Mr. X said, taking one long look back. "Next time," he said, intensely."I'm telling my story," he said, before vanishing like the others.

Krychek bent down and kissed Mulder on the cheek. "Прощай друг," he said, in Russian. "Goodbye friend."

The End
