A/N: I'm so happy that people are liking my fanfic ^.^ I didn't really know if I was getting their characters right or not. You can also find this fic on AO3 and Wattpad.

Anyways Read and Review.


*Felix's POV*

"Project what now?" I asked confused. Taking a seat on the couch, Locus and Siris sat beside me, while Georgie and Megan sat on the other couch across from us.

"Academy, has she ever mentioned it to either of you at all?"

"She was never really open about her past with us." Locus replied. "Though she did mention being a part of some experiment."

"That's what she told me." Siris spoke up. "She said something about being able to hear Felix's heartbeat, but I just thought she said it to psych him out."

"That was one of the side effects of the drugs they gave her. You see, the goal of Project Academy was to help win the Great War." He shook his head. "It was just a load of bullshit. The Project existed long before Great War even started. They have been taking kids from their homes and shipping them off to Europa to experimented on."

"Europa? Isn't that one of Jupiter's moons?" I asked. "Why so close to Earth, why not, I don't know, some place farther?"

"The UNSC didn't care about Europa, to them it had very little military value, so it was the perfect place."

"You said, they took kids from their homes, was Kiara one of them?" Siris asked nervously.

"No, she was born on the base like me. Our parents worked for Project Academy, mine were weapon specialist and—"

"Wait, you were a part of it too?"

"I thought that was obvious." He laughed. "Anyway, her mother worked as a scientist but left to fight in the Great War, she came back about 2 years later, I'm not sure how though, soon after that Kiara was born."

"And Kiara told you all this?" I asked slightly skeptical.

"No. She didn't even know who her mother was until later on. None of the kids born into the Project were allowed know about their parents. We didn't find out until we broke into the Record room when we tried escaping."

"How could they keep something like that from them?" Siris said sadly.

"They didn't want us to not get emotionally attached them. They wanted to be in control of our emotions, even the kids they kidnapped, they would put them through a process they called "The Reeducation" to make them forget all about their past lives."

"You mean brainwashing."

"Yeah." Georgie sighed. "I seen them do it to Kiara a couple of times, it's horrible."

"Why would they brainwash her?" Locus asked.

"She…let's just say, she was difficult to handle sometimes."

"By that you mean rebellious?" I laughed.

"Well, yes. I mean you know how she is." He shrugged. "Stubborn as all hell."

"You said that being able to hear heart beats was a side effect from the drugs they gave her." Locus said glancing towards her room. "What else did they do?"

"Well, they heighten her sense of smell, increased her strength, pain tolerance, injected her with alien blood—you know it would be best if she tells you herself I don't really know all the details."

"Alien blood?"

"That's right, Sangheili to be exact, they did the something to me too as well as other people."

"Why alien blood?" I asked.

"The humans were at war with aliens, what better way to get an advantage over them, then to make an army of human-alien hybrids?"

"Wait, hold on, I thought you said the Project existed long before the war even started?"

"It did! They've been doing things like this long since its existence, alien experimentation is just ONE of the many things they did."

"What else did—"

"Look, I'm sorry," He cut me off "I think its best if I stop for now, I really don't want to face the wrath of sleeping beauty in the next room."

"You're scared of Kiara?" I laughed.

"Hell yeah I am, she's crazy! I mean don't get me wrong, she's one of my best friends, but, the things they did to her, what they made her do," his voice trailed off. "Getting on her bad side is not something I want."

"Gege!"

I looked down and saw Amber sitting on floor staring at us.

"How the fuck?"

"Felix, language." Siris warned for the umpteenth time.

"Dude, my kid just teleported her way in here, what am I supposed to say?"

"She keeps climbing out of her crib." Georgie got up and walked over to her. "What are you doing out of bed cutie?" He picked her up and his face scrunched up. "Woo, ok, that's a stinky diaper. I'll be right back." He said taking her to Kiara's room.

"How long have you know about this?" I heard Siris ask his wife.

"I'm just finding this out myself, I haven't known Kiara that long." She answered.

"How long were you planning on keeping this from me? Working with these people."

"I wanted to tell you, really, I did, but I didn't know how to."

"So you chose to hide it."

"What'd you expect? You're so…so—"

"Overprotective?" I finished for her. Siris glared at me. "What? I can already tell that you keep very close tabs on your wife."

"I'm not overprotective, and even if I was, you're one to talk. You're overprotective of Kiara."

"How?"

"Earlier in the van? How you blew up on Georgie for leaving Kiara on the roof."

"...That doesn't prove anything."

"If you say so."


*Locus' POV*

A few minutes later and Georgie came back with Amber, she was wearing an orange onesie, walking in front of him holding on to his fingers.

"So, she really is starting to walk!" Megan said excitedly.

"Yup! I'm trying to get her to walk on her own, but it's not going so well." Georgie replied. Amber looked at me and smiled.

"Aww, look at her little teeth." Megan gushed. "So cute."

"Yup, I know how to make a cute kid." Felix said smirking.

"She takes after her mother." I said flatly.

"What, so you're saying there's not one ounce of me in her?"

"For her sake, I hope so."

"I can tell you right now that she's smart," Georgie said sitting down next to Megan and placing Amber on his lap. "when she gets older, we're going to have her take an IQ test. That is, once I convince Kiara to agree to it I mean."

"Why?"

"I wanna see if she's as smart as Kiara."

"Again, why?"

"You do know that Kiara's super smart, right? So of course, her kid is going to be the same."

"Oh, really?"

"That's right, like the big guy over there said, for her sake I hope."

"So, what you're saying is, my daughter, maybe some type of genius prodigy. That's great, amazing even, but I have a hard time believing you when she's is currently trying to eat her own hand." Felix said pointing at her.

"She's still a baby you know, so she's not going to show all her intelligence right out the womb." He took her hand out of her mouth and placed her on the floor. "But trust me, she's smart."

Amber crawled to Felix and pulled herself up by his pants leg.

"Dada."

"Well at least she knows who I am now."

"Didn't she call Locus Papa earlier?" Siris asked laughing slightly.

"No, that never happened." Felix said quickly.

"I'm pretty sure it did."

"Nope, never happened." He picked her up placing her on his lap.

"Oh Amber." Siris called getting her attention. "Dada wants you." He points at me.

"What the hell are you doing?" Felix said glaring at Siris.

"What? I'm just telling Amber who her Dad is."

She looks at me for a second then reaches for me. "Dada?"

"No, he's not Dada, I'M Dada." Felix said pulling her back.

"Dada?" she points at Felix.

"Yes, I'm Dada."

She looks at me again then points. "Dada?"

"No. That's Mr. Douc—OW!" Siris elbowed him in the side.

"Kiara is going to kill you if she catches Amber saying bad words."

"How will she know it was me that—never mind don't answer that."

"Dada?" She looks at me.

"Not Dada."

"Dada."

"No."

She frowned at me. "Dada."

"NO."

She pouts then looks at Georgie. She babbles at him while pointing at me.

"Uh oh, you made her mad." He laughed.

"How? All I did was tell her no."

"She knows what no means. Just let her call you that for now.""

"Won't that confuse her, calling two people dad?"

"What's wrong with having two dads?"
