When Jen awoke she was met with bright, blinding lights, and an insane amount of white. She squinted and closed her eyes, stopping the light from hurting them further. It was then that she could register voices. She could make out three, no wait, four. They were talking about someone or something. Nanites, they were talking about nanites, her nanites. They were talking about her.

"I don't understand. The amount of active nanite activity showing up on the scan, she should be a 15 foot monster, but there she is." A confused female voice was the first one she heard.

"Well should I try and cure her? She could become an evo when she wakes up." Sounded like a teenage boy. Cure? What did he mean by cure? Cure what?

"No, Rex, there something different about these nanites. It's bizarre but her nanites aren't just inside her DNA, like most evos, they are actually a part of her body. There are parts of her organs which are being sustained by nanites! If you healed her I fear that it could send her into cardiac arrest and kill her."

"So what do we do?" stern, monotonous. This was the second man.

"Well I've got her sedated now, that should keep her reasonably safe for the next few hours, and I would love to run some extra tests on her. From what I've found so far, it's like her nanites are programmed differently to Rex's." Jen assumed that this woman was a doctor from the understanding she had.

"I don't care whether she's programmed differently or not, just find out if she is useful or dangerous, and if it's the latter then deal with her. White out." This voice sounded more like a machine then the others, stricter too.

"Yes sir." She could hear the mocking tone in the boy's voice.

"If only I could find out how she got such a high concentration of nanites; that would help with the testing…"

Jen decided it was about time she made herself known, and found out where she was. "Maybe I could help with that." She sat up and swung her legs off of the table, wincing slightly at the sudden movement. She was met with an astonished doctor, a surprised teenager, who looked about the same age as her, and a tall slim man clad in green, who had two swords out, in a fighting stance. She held up her hands in a sign of surrender, panic crossing her features.

"Hey, whoa! You can put the swords away. I'm not gunna go all monster on you, I'm staying like this. Promise!" The green man raised an eyebrow, and for a moment she thought he was going to attack, but instead the swords folded away and disappeared somewhere up his sleeves. Jen let out a breath she hadn't realised she had been holding. Weapons always made her slightly nervous, and by the way he handled them, Jen didn't think that this man was a stranger to weapons.

"Where am I?" she looked around, surveying her surroundings. She was in a completely white lab, sitting on a medical bed. She could see computer screens and desks on one side of the room, in front of a massive window, spanning most of the wall. Bright glitering lights were shining through, and beyond that she could see the makings of a jungle, with the occaisional evo creature flying past. This was definitely one of the stranger places she had woken up in. "And who are you?"

The dark haired teenage boy who had been previously staring at her stepped forward. He had spiky black hair and warm brown eyes. He smiled nervously, "Erm… hey! I'm Rex and you're at the providence base-"

"Like the providence? How did I end up here?"

"Yeah the one and only." He grinned broadly, like he was proud. She smiled back at him. "We brought you back here after Biowolf and the pack attacked you. The doc patched you up" Rex geustured behind him to the kind, yet confused looking women in a lab coat. Jen looked down and saw the bandages beneath her ripped and bloody top. She touched them lightly. At the mention of her work, the doctor seemed to shake herself slightly.

"My names Dr. Holiday and this is agent Six. How are you feeling err…"

"Jen, my names Jen. And I'm good. Thank you for fixing me, but I really must be going now." Jen gave a weak smile and got up off of the bed.

Holiday looked panicked and held out a hand to steady Jen. "You really shouldn't be walking right now. Those cuts you got were pretty severe, you need to rest! I'm sure wherever you need to go can wait for a few hours."

"Thank you for your concern but I think I'll be fine-" she was smiling weakly and making her way to the door. She was cut off by Six, who was blocking the door she was guessing lead the way out of there.

"But your injuries! You really should rest, for your own good. Please… you're safe here. If it's your parents your worried about, we can contact them and tell them where you are." The actual concern on the doctor's face almost made her want to turn around and stay, but she couldn't stay in one place for this long. She didn't know how much time she had already wasted being unconscious.

"No it's not my parents; I don't have any parents. I just can't stay in one place for too long." She looked back towards the door, but it was still blocked by Six. She felt like she was being cornered; she hated being cornered. "I really must be going, and there's really no need to worry about me anymore, my injuries are fine now." She reached down and undid the bandage beneath her ratty top, only to reveal perfectly smooth skin. Where there had once been three deep gashes across her stomach, there was now flawless skin, like nothing had even touched her. "So again thank you for the help, but-" she turned around and walked straight into Six, stumbling and almost falling backwards, if it weren't for six's hand catching her and steadying her.

"Why d'you need to go? You don't have to be scared here…" Rex was saddened at the thought that she might leave. He might finally have the chance to talk to someone his own age, who knew what was going on with him. Nice to have a conversation with someone who knew about nanites, but wasn't covered in fur, trying to stick needles in him, or devout of all emotion. No matter how much he loved the doc, and Bobo and even Six in a weird way, they never really understood. He really wanted this girl to stick around. She was about the same height as him now that she was standing, and she had deep midnight blue eyes, which seemed scared and confused. He smiled lightly to try and calm her slightly.

"He's after me, and it's not safe for me to stick around in one place. It's not safe for you to stick around me either. I've really gotta go!" she remembered the last time she'd let herself get too emotionally attached to a place, she remembered the pain and the screaming. Sure these people seemed nice, if not a bit strange, but she couldn't do that and lose control again. It would be nice to have some company, but she didn't deserve nice. It would just be best if she left.

"Who's after you?" Rex took a step closer to the girl, trying to get through to her that she could trust him. "Let me guess; is it some nanite nut job named Van Kleiss?"

"You know about him then…"

"Yeah we do, and you can be safe from him here. He's been after me for a while now but I'm still here. Please stay."

"What just so I can become another one of your lab rats? Just so you can do test after test on me? I know what I've got inside me and that excites any scientist I come within a miles radius of!"

"Jen," it was Dr. Holiday who stepped forward now, "we just want to help. The amount of nanites inside of you is well beyond the safe limit. You shouldn't actually be here without any visible mutations. Let us take care of you, help you. Please."

"Why would you want to help a freak like me?" Jen turned away from Holiday's caring face.

"You, a freak? You've gotta be kidding me!" Rex stepped back and activated his smack hands. Jen gasped and just watched in wonder.

"Wow… so you're a…"

"Yep," Rex grinned.

"And you can…" Jen gestured to his hands.

"Right again." He deactivated them, still smiling. "It doesn't get much more freakish than this place." And as if to prove his point Bobo walked in.

"Hey any of you guys fancy pizza? I'm starving!" they all turned to look at him.

"Are you ever not hungry?" Six walked over to where the monkey was now sitting on Holidays desk and leaned on the bench, hands in pockets. Jen looked back towards Rex and Dr. Holiday for reassurance. Rex just grinned at her whilst the doc was still scowling at Bobo.

"The monkey…the monkey did just talk right? I'm not hearing things am I?"

"Hey! I'm a chimpanzee! Get it right kid!"

"Oh, sorry."

Rex cleared his throat, and she turned to look at him. "So, will you stay? Please, just for a little bit at least."

"But… It's not safe…"

"You're in the safest building on the planet!"

"But… but.." Rex raised an eyebrow at her and folded his arms. "Fine, I'll stay. But only for a few days, then I've gotta get back on the move."

A grin broke out of Rex's lips, "that's fine with me!"
