Chapter 4
"Six! What did you do!" Rex screamed at his agro-nanny as Anna fluttered unconscious to the ground.
"Need to bring her back to Providence" Said Six bending over, reaching for Anna. "Dr. Holiday's orders." Rex felt his voice hitch, why would Dr. Holiday demand something so…extreme?
"But…I could have convinced her. I could have…You didn't have to poison her." Rex countered.
"It was just going to make her sleep Rex, I didn't know her nanites we so aware." Seemingly in response to his voice, or question the nanites in Anna suddenly came forth, brown nanite material forming sharp metal spikes in an instant, right where Six had been reaching. Had it been anyone other than agent Six, there hand would have been stabbed through. Six pulled his hand back, the spikes did not increase in length, nor did they move but they also did not soften back into her skin.
"This complicates things." Six mumbled trying to think of a way to move her safely.
"I could always carry her." Rex made his smack hands and reached for Anna's form. But there was no need. The moment Rex got close the spikes returned the way they had come. Rex changed his hands back and slowly laid his hand on her shoulder. Nothing happened.
"I…I can touch her." He said looking at Six with a slightly smug look.
Six did not believe his eyes. Maybe that whiskey had been a bad idea. Could these nanites really be that aware? Aware enough to make her throw up his sleeping draught? Aware enough to make metal spikes to protect her after he had knocked her out? Aware enough to tell perceived foe from friend?
The sound of engines could be heard in the distance. Six tossed Rex Anna's coat before moving though the home. He grabbed a knapsack and proceeded to ransack her drawers. A few shirts, another pair of pants, some socks and underwear he grabbed without looking. Rex looked around as well. Six smacked his katana hilt on the chimney sending a thick cloud of soot down choking off the fire. As Six was tying the bag shut Rex stopped him.
"This too?" He asked holding a small and very worn teddy bear out to the agent. Six raised an eyebrow.
"What? It's obviously very loved." Rex defended the dower looking toy.
Six just sighed and held the bag open. Rex plopped the teddy bear on top and Six lashed it closed.
Rex gathered Anna into his arms and headed back into the snow, to the awaiting jump jet. Six took one last look around the cottage, it was so dark now and growing colder by the second and somehow… it was sad, but orders are orders it really was for the best.
Agent Six locked the door.
Anna slept the entire trip back. Bobo had been his usual self with questions about the new addition but Rex hadn't been in the mood to indulge his monkey partner. He didn't leave Anna's side the entire way home. He didn't sleep and he didn't eat. Only once had he asked Six to watch her so he could go to the bathroom and that was only in the most dire need. Six had wanted to say no, that there was no need to watch her but Rex doing the 'potty dance' was just too much for the sixth deadliest man in the world to handle. He dismissed him just so he could have a light chuckle away from any prying ears.
Once they had arrived at Providence Dr. Holiday was waiting. Rex laid Anna down on the table and watch Dr. Holiday go to work. First checking her heart rate and her breathing. Then some blood work. As the needle pricked Anna's skin…
"Holiday move!" Six shouted dashing in and pushing Dr. Holiday to the ground.
"Six what in the world…" But she was instantly silenced at the sight of many sharp spikes aimed right where she had been a moment ago.
"I've never seen nanites so aggressive." Holiday remarked standing up.
"They did the same thing before, after Six knocked her out." Rex remarked. He was sitting nearby eating some left over dinner. They had returned very late and the mess hall kitchen had been closed.
"Then how did you bring her here? How did you even get close to her?" Holiday questioned, Six just pointed at Rex.
"Rex?" Holiday whispered, Six nodded.
"Rex can you come over here?" She called.
"Sure." He put down his plate and walked over. Even as he approached the spikes began to soften and retreated once more.
"Rex I need you to take the blood sample, seems like you're the only one who can get close."
"But Doc, I have no idea how to do that." Rex held up his hands.
Dr. Holiday sighed. "It's easy; I'll take you through it."
One vial of blood and three tests later Dr. Holiday could not believe what the computer was telling her. She looked over at her 'boys' who were waiting for her to finish her tests. One was waiting much more calmly then the other. She couldn't make them wait any longer as she grabbed her papers and moved towards them.
"So doc?" Rex asked before she got even close to him. She waited till she was standing there before answering. Rex stared at her with eyes at would be crushed if…if… well it didn't matter.
"Rex…I'm sorry…but." She watched his smile fall. "but…it looks like you have a big sister." Oh Holiday knew she was so bad for that. Rex's eyes lit up.
"Really? I mean..Really!"
"Yes Rex, I ran the test three times, Anna is your biological sister."
Rex's scream of joy rang throughout Providence. It was so loud that Six had to call around a false alarm so no one would panic.
"What else doctor?" Six asked when Rex had stopped shouting and jumping about.
"Her nanites are the exact same as yours Rex. Down to the smallest detail. So I would say that part of her story checks out too but…"
"But doc?"
"But the number of active nanites in her system is off the charts, she is in serious need of a trip to Purgatory."
"Could that be the reason they seem to be acting on their own doctor?" Six wondered.
"I'm not really sure, but I do think the reason Rex can approach is because the nanites in Anna seem to be in communication with Rex's nanites. There recognizing each other."
Rex and Six were a little shocked at this.
"I need to file a report with White and Six I know you have to as well. Perhaps we could pick this up in the morning? When Anna is awake?" Holiday suggested.
"Where should we put her for the night? Isolation?" Six offered.
"Ugh no way Six, she can stay in my room." Rex watched Holiday and Six exchange glances. "What? It's not like you guys can move her."
"He has a point." Holiday said to Six.
"Just make sure she is comfortable." Six said leaving the lab. He really didn't have any reason to worry.
As soon as Rex had Anna to his room he carefully laid her on the bed. He made sure she looked cozy before removing her thick boots and covering her with his comforter. On a whim he ruffled her hair lovingly.
"Good night sis." He whispered.
