Baby le- I hope its getting better.

The plane ride was long and uncomfortable. They were surrounded by children, all under the age of five, all screaming or crying or just being annoying. At one point Sydney was about to snap, the stress, having caught up with her was almost unbearable. Michael saw this and caught her before she said anything that she could get arrested for he stroked her cheek.

"Come on sweetie, lay down." He said and patted his lap. Sydney smiled and rested her head on his lap. Sleep came surprisingly easy and she didn't wake up until Michael gently nudged her.

"We're landing in LA in twenty minutes. Are you ready for this?" he asked and Sydney nodded. She dove into their carry on bag and grabbed two smaller bags. They then got up and headed for the bathrooms. Once inside Sydney dumped the bag out, revealing a bottle of black hair dye, contacts, bronzer, nail polish, fishnet tights, and a number of other basic disguise tools. In Michael's bag there was much the same thing except his dye was electric blue and he had no tights.

It only took fifteen minutes for them to change into completely different people. Sydney was now dressed in a short black skirt, fishnets, a black tank top with a fishnet top, and knee high boots. Her hair was now up to her shoulders and the bronzer made her look very exotic. Michael now had bright blue, spiked hair, a tight black t-shirt, black pants, shoes, and a black leather coat.

"My dad will have a heart attack when he sees me." Sydney said and almost laughed.

Michael smiled and held open the door for her. Igonring the stares from the other passengers the two made their way back to their seats just in time to hear the captain tell them to buckle their seat belts.

The airport was crowded but Sydney and Michael managed to get a rental car. They drove down the once familiar streets until they reached the (insert name of LA hotel). The desk clerk gave them a funny look but gave them a room on the 47th floor. Sydney scowled at the number. Too many memories hid behind it.

Once they were finally in their room it was 10:30. Sydney flopped on the bed, sighing. Michael kicked off his boots and lay beside her.

"Your father is going to be here in an hour and a half." He said, kissing her on the neck.

"I know, don't remind me. Knowing him he's going to burst in here with a whole SWAT team and arrest us. Don't take any crap from him about "stealing his only daughter away" okay?" Sydney said turning over so she was facing him. She returned the kiss, this time on the lips and it was passionate.

"What was that for?" Michael asked when they pulled away, both out of breath.

"It was for you following me around the world all this time. You are the most amazing guy ever." Sydney said.

"I know." Michael joked and got up. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really." Sydney said. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Sydney walked in and shut the door. When she looked at herself it was scary how normal it seemed to be someone else. Sydney splashed her face with cold water, watching the makeup pour off, the mascara making black streams down her cheeks. She then wiped the rest of the makeup off and, making sure she wouldn't scare anybody with the state of her face, she walked out the door.

Michael was sorting through his clothes, trying to find something more normal to be wearing when Jack came. Sydney made her way to her bag also and grabbed a pair of jeans and a red t shirt.

By the time Jack knocked on the door, both looked normal, except for Michael and Sydney's hair. Sydney jumped at the sound of the knock. Turning to Michael, her face was a mix of fear and sadness. Michael made his way over to the door and pulled it open. There was Jack, the normal scowl on his face.

"Michael Vaughn!" he shouted and barged in the door. "I should kill you for how much danger you put my daughter in! Do you have any idea what the CIA would do to not only you but her, if they knew where you were?!"

"Jack I did this for your daughter! She was going to leave anyway and if you loved her the way I do you would have got on the plane with her too! So don't come in here, threatening me! I'm the only thing that kept her sane this past year. You have no idea what she went through!" Michael shouted back, letting his anger take over.

"Michael! Dad! Stop!" Sydney yelled, stepping between them. "Dad, sit down! I am going to explain what happened and YOU are NOT going to interrupt." So Sydney did, with Michael sitting on the bed and Jack in a chair. Jack didn't say a word.
