Sorry for the long wait for this update, but I had to make sure the story seemed right in my head first. Also, I've been trying to do a little updating to Jet's description. Hope to get that up soon.

Well, here we go!


Episode Two

The second Jet said someone was after his neck, Six went into action. He immediately dragged the boy into a meeting with White Knight, a meeting that, for some reason, Holiday and Rex weren't allowed to be apart of.

When Jet got dragged to med-bay with Six and Holiday close behind, Noah realized now probably wasn't the best time to be here. So, he decided to head home.

"But, Noah," Rex began, "I'm going to need help with this."

"Look, dude," Noah said. "I've got school tomorrow. Besides, I think Circe would be a lot more of a help in this situation than I would. Why not give her a call? I mean, she is your girlfriend, isn't she?"

Rex knew Noah had a point. So, almost an hour after that conversation, Rex paced the floor of the hanger, waiting for Circe to arrive.

"Hey there, Rex," Circe announced as she walked into the hangar, a smile on her face.

Rex looked at his girlfriend, giving her a sad smile. "Glad you could make it."

"Well, you sounded fairly confused on the phone. Wanna go to the Petting Zoo and talk?"

Rex nodded and began telling Circe everything he knew.

OOOOO

Ever since the Cure, the Petting Zoo had been converted into a training room for the agents of Providence, mainly Six. All of the animals had been sent back to their homes or given to a zoo, leaving nothing but trees. Of course, any domesticated animals stayed.

By the time he finished the story, Rex and Circe were sitting on an overturned tree. Rex's head was hung, while Circe rubbed his back.

"I don't know, Circe," Rex said. "I mean, I know that Six has things he would like to keep secret. But he should be able to trust me with facts about his past. I know about the Numbers, Circe."

"The Numbers?" Circe asked.

Rex realized she didn't know. "Six's name actually comes from the fact he's the sixth most dangerous man on the planet. The Numbers are the five other dangerous people."

"That actually makes sense."

Knowing that Circe know understood, Rex continued. "Call me crazy, Circe, but I think Six knows more about this kid than he's letting on."

"You're right about that, Rex," a voice behind the duo said. Rex and Circe turned to see Six standing in the doorway. "I met the kid when he was five. But, I knew his father for a lot longer."

"How long?" Rex asked.

"Since high school," Six responded. "We were fairly good friends." The trio was silent for a bit before Six spoke again. "Knight wants to talk to us. Now."

Rex nodded and began walking out the door. Six turned to Circe. "Better come too. Since Rex gave you a full briefing already."

Circe nodded to the agent and followed Rex out the door. Six told them to head over to the meeting room before walking over to the lab to get Holiday.

OOOOO

Since White Knight wasn't letting her get answers, she decided to get some herself. She furiously typed on the computer, easily gaining access to a file database.

Six did say he was important to the government, Rebecca thought. So that must mean he's got some type of a government file. Let's see what I can find.

Rebecca remembered that Six had told her the boy's name was Jet Richards. In her mind, she believed that would be the best place to start. Typing the boy's name in, she waited for the search to bring up results. About two minutes later, the result popped up.

Holiday smiled. Finally, some answers.

However, she was shocked when she noticed the file was blocked.

What? Holiday thought.

On the screen she saw the following message:

Sorry for the inconvenience. For the safety and protection of the United States, this file has been blocked. If you wish to view it, please place a request to be read into the CIA's Project: Electric Shock.

If you are already read in or if you are a member of the CIA, NCIS, or the Navy & Marine Core, please follow the link below and enter in your badge number and access code.

Thank you and have a nice day.

"Project: Electric Shock?" Holiday knew it well. The CIA had put up the idea for a chance to give some lucky American the power of electricity. About 90% of Americans decided the project wasn't good and protested "inhumane experimentation". A week after they announced it, the CIA held a press conference and said the project was being canceled. And that was the end of that.

"If the project was shut down," Rebecca thought out loud, "then what happened to Kai?"

"Because the project wasn't shut down," a voice behind her said. Holding a hand over her heart, a shocked Holiday turned to see Six leaning up against the door frame with his arms crossed. Six walked over to Holiday as he continued. "The CIA only said it was canceled because they had already found the perfect subject."

"Jet," Holiday guessed, to which the agent gave a slight nod. After a second of silence, Holiday asked, "How do you know about the project?"

"Jet's father was a friend of mine," Six answered, trying to hold back his emotions. "United States Marine Lieutenant Jake Richards. He only agreed to letting his son be tested on if NCIS and the Navy & Marine Core could be kept in the loop. Also, NCIS had to be in charge of the boy's safety. I know about it because Jake said I was supposed to watch over Jet while the man was deployed overseas."

"He must've really trusted you," Rebecca said. She put a hand on his shoulder and immediately felt him tense up. "It doesn't seem like this Jake would be one to trust his son to just anybody."

"He wasn't." Six answered. Another slight pause in the conversation. "Knight wants us to get into the meeting room. He wants us to be briefed about what's going on."

Holiday nodded and exited the lab, with Six close behind. While they were walking, Six couldn't help his mind wandering back to the case in question.

OOOOO

"You actually allowed them to test on your son!" Six yelled. He was standing in the living room of his best friend, United States Marine Lieutenant Jake Richards, who had just told the mercenary about the CIA's top secret Project: Electric Shock.

"It was Jet's choice, Six," Jake responded. "Nothing I said could change his mind. He wanted the chance to be a hero."

"He does know that he's risking his life for this, right?"

"He knows, Six. But he was determined to help. His mother always told me Jet would be a Marine one day. Besides, Jet is the only one who will work for it. He's a white American born who's under 18 without any disabilities, mental illnesses, or a chance to catch an exotic disease."

Six stared at his old high school friend. Jake could've at least threatened to ground the kid if he didn't back out. But then again, Jake never was one to do something like that. Besides, Six couldn't deny that it was a great way to serve his country.

Six felt a tug on his arm. Looking down, the mercenary saw young Jet Richards standing there.

"I want to serve my country, Six," Jet said. "This is really the only way I can."

"The CIA has at least agreed to make sure he keeps up his studying," Jake said. The marine walked over and put a hand on Six's shoulder, feeling the marine tense up. "Don't worry, Six. We know what we're doing."

OOOOO

"Jet," White Knight's voice said, breaking Jet's thoughts. "Whenever you're ready to begin."

The boy looked at Six first, realizing the mercenary was also thinking back to the moment when he learned Jet was the test subject for the CIA's experiment.

While waiting for Six and Holiday, Jet had been introduced to Rex's brother, Caesar. In Jet's opinion, Caesar actually reminded Jet of NCIS' top forensic scientist Abby Schiuto. Both of them were brilliant, but it seemed like no one could usually understand what science-y thing they were talking about.

Jet took a deep breath and began his story.

"I'm not sure how many of you know this, but I am the result of the CIA's experiment; Project: Electric Shock."

"Isn't that the experiment that could give someone electric powers?" Caesar asked.

"That's the one," Jet said with a nod. "When the CIA said they had canceled it, it's because they had already found a test subject. Me."

Jet looked at Six, who nodded in response. Both Six and Knight already knew the details behind the project, and he could easily gain access to the file himself.

Taking a deep breath, Jet started the story of why he came to Providence in the first place.

"It started about a week after all the EVO's were cured by Rex and the Meta-Nanites."

"Wait," Rex said. "How do you know about the Meta-Nanites?"

"One of the perks of being the government's biggest secret," Jet began, "no file is off limits to me. My access code allows me to get into any file."

"Can we get back to the story?" Knight said.

Jet nodded. "Like I said, it all started a week after the Cure Event. I got an email from my CIA boss, a man named Kesler Johnson.

"The assignment was simple. All I had to do was break into a certain building in Afghanistan and download the information onto the flash drive he gave me. That's really the basis for most of my assignments.

"Two days after I got the email, I was able to get to Afghanistan via a priority ride, courtesy of the Marine Core."

Circe looked at Jet. "A what?"

"A priority ride," Jet responded. "It's basically like a free plane ride. For me, that meant riding on a cargo plane squished between giant boxes on the bumpiest flight ever for close to 12 hours.

"Anyway," Jet continued. "Upon reaching Afghanistan, I found the building, got in and downloaded the info. Making it back home, I went to the CIA's main HQ to deliver the info, but Kesler said he didn't know anything about the assignment."

"How can that be?" Holiday asked. "Didn't he send the email?"

"Apparently not," Jet said. "Kesler told me to keep the flash drive with me, ensuring its safety. But about three days later, I began to feel like someone was following me. At first I tried to ignore it. But then I noticed my power level was slowly decreasing. I didn't know who I could turn to until I thought of Six."

"What was the data about?" Knight asked.

Jet shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't want to risk looking at it."

"Holiday," Knight said. "Find out."

Holiday walked over to Jet and asked for the flash drive. Jet reached into his shirt, removed the device from around his neck, and handed it to the doctor. Plugging it in, Holiday's eyes grew wide.

"What is it?" Six asked.

"It's personel files, blue prints, and tons of data," Holiday responded.

"On who?" Rex questioned.

Holiday turned to Jet and sighed. "Us. All of this information is on Providence.


Thought that would be a good place to end it.

Please continue to review.

Just so you know, I still don't like flames, but I do enjoy constructive criticism. So if you have any, don't be afraid to let me know!

Thanks!
