Remembering the Past

Again I do not own them, only the dvd's and as pointed out to me, my books count too. All rights actually belong to CC and 20th Century. MONEY? Yeah right, I'm broke and indebt like the rest of the country. So once again I only get the pleasure of writing this and the hope I get something right! Oh and if you like you could review.

Gibson Praise sits at the bar nursing his beer. He's waiting for someone, who he's not sure. He'll know though once the guy walks in. Gene Crane super soldier had him call the guy off from watching Mulder's place. He knew he was wrong for swapping sides like he did, but he needed to guarantee Mulder's safety.

He'd do anything to keep him alive, including consorting with the enemy. The head guys of the new consortium had promised amnesty for Mulder if Gibson helped track down William. He didn't and still doesn't understand why they wanted Mulder they didn't bother to fill him in.

They also want him to get Dana, for whatever reason. They need her back. Something about how she should be dead from cancer by now and isn't. How her chip just stopped working right before Mulder got taken by them. They explained how Mulder has the same abilities as Gibson, but stronger. Mulder can not only listen in, he can project his thoughts into someone else's mind.

He can't control them or anything just like have a conversation with someone in their head. He remembers when he first met Mulder. He remembers putting him on the spot with Dana and Diana. He remembers Mulder looking at Dana imagining her in a swim suit, even more clearly he remembers Dana thinking about how amazing Mulder's thought process was. Wondering how his mind was able to leap and make those connections.

What he didn't tell Mulder was Diana was thinking of him too. How she couldn't wait to get back in his bed. Little did she know he was already Scully's and had been for years. He wouldn't leave her for anything. She challenged him, made him work for his answers, she understood his driving need to understand. After all that was why she had become a scientist. So that she too could understand.

He grabs his beer and takes a long pull. He liked them, Mulder and Dana. They accepted the fact that he could read minds easily enough. They never doubted the validity of it. Dana had wanted to run tests on him. Not unlike the consortium, her idea of testing though was to run some brain scans and get a better understanding of what was different that gave him this ability.

At first he was loath to betray Dana, but then he learned the horrible truth. Why his junk DNA was activate. Fox Mulder and Diana Fowley had been lovers. Unbeknownst to Mulder, when she left she had scheduled an abortion. His grandfather over saw the procedure, they did remove the fetus from her womb, but they didn't kill it.

Instead they put it in one of the artificial grow tanks they had for their experiments. They combination of removal from his natural environment into the alien environment stunted his natural growth and activated his junk DNA. His grandfather told him all about it. It was because he could read minds that the hit was placed on him.

It was because of the loss of his mother that he was so willing to betray Dana Scully. If not for her, his mother would be alive and his parents would be together. His grandfather sent him the photographs of the engagement ring Mulder had bought her. He sent him the pictures of the two of them together. Mulder said you couldn't trust these people. He didn't understand why.

Once you really got to know them and being able to read their minds, how could you not trust them. They were open books. You really could trust them. They were only interested in surviving, same as people. There was so much humanity could learn from them.

They wanted William so that could show the world what they were capable of when it came to medicine. If they could help her conceive a child, a barren woman with a barren womb, just think of all the other things they could do. Diabetes, cancer, aids, west nile. The list was endless. He knew they wouldn't harm Mulder, after all they had a deal.

Just then his mark came into the bar. He finished his beer and ordered another. He wondered why they asked him to take out these specific super soldiers. They must be defective in some way. He smiled as Shannon McMahon walked in and sat down beside him. This was going to be a good night.
