TiGeRlIlY99- The quiet room? Oh dear, I'm glad I helped you to survive, then! lol And, of course, your welcome and THANK YOU for being a loyal reader and constant reviewer. ^.^ You're the guys that I update for.

GHandB10Fan- Yes, it's Mardi Gras here ^.^... OMG, You love Remy? I'm his fan-whore XD. Before GenRex came along, X-Men was my number one fandom and Rogue/Gambit (Romy) was my official pairing. Evolution is an awesome series lol. Btw, did you know that a new X-Men movie is coming out soon? I don't think it's going to feature Gambit, but it's called Fist Class. The trailer is on YouTube (yes, there's a trailer lol). The flashback seemed so long b/c I haven't updated lol. It's only like, 3 chaps I think XD. That last chap was a fun one and I'm glad you love it for the reasons I wanted to get across (the bonds between Six and Callan and especially between Rex and Six). Oh, I am proud of this beast! It's my baby XD. I just need to get it done before I leave it somewhere and never look at it again. That last huge hiatus told me that much. School's a bitch, ya know. SIGH. This being made into a movie would be so... so epic. I think we've been a bit dry on the holix b/c everyone is like "FF is filled with Holix, I wanna do something different" and then no one does Holix. It's an evil circle that I'm trying to fight against. Btw, I have a BILLION green Mardi Gras beads and one of them has little masks on it, cept it looks like shades... and I love those beads. lol I'm super you actually look forward to writing awesome reviews! So please continue XD.

BACK TO HOLIX~ Finally!

o0o

Li was sneaky. He was damn sneaky. He wasn't The Agent Six for nothing.

And yet, he found himself tip toeing. Tip toeing. Seriously.

I even think this is ridiculous.

They had left the 'Cresent City' a few days ago, trying to get further out of Providence's eye and find Rex and Circe at the same time. As a thank you to the girls, they had left the Challenger in New Orleans and took the Ferrari with them... much to Li's protests. He hated that damn thing, but at least he could keep his bike. That was a plus.

Now, they had rented out a hotel room under alias names, that they've both made up a long time ago, in Lafeyette, which was still in Louisiana. It wasn't New Orleans, but it wasn't too terribly far as Rex would miss them or something.

He couldn't help it. He clung to the wall of the lavish, and quite bright, hotel hallway, trying his best to get back to their room unseen by anyone. When he left, Chris was still asleep, so... there was that slim chance.

Course, then there was the mystery of the 'magically appearing CD that has the price of our heads on it' that had 'mysteriously' wound up in his pocket. He'd have to show that to her sooner or later. So, he quickly started to come up with a list of excuses, because, really, there was no winging it when it came to Chris, telepath or not.

It fell out of the sky.

I bought it from some shady guy.

The possessed Ferrari spat it out.

I just made it for fun.

Magic.

Oh that? What's that? A disk? A CD, you say? How did that get there?

So far, he was going with that last one, when he finally found their room. Lightly, incredibly lightly, he put his hand against the knob and turned it, not making a sound. Carefully and slowly, he swung the door open.

It was open halfway when he remembered that he left it locked. Sure enough, when his eyes slid from the door and actually into the room, Chris stood there, right in front of him, arms crossed and everything.

He slowly started to close the door. Maybe, maybe, she hadn't seen him. Unfortunately, her hand held on to the edge of the door before he could close it anymore.

"Hey, baby," he tried.

It didn't work. Her other hand fell on her hip. "So...," she started, looking him up and down, "You look a little wet."

You're not caught yet! Just run with this... Or just run!

He desperately tried to hold his ground. "I hadn't noticed," was his reply.

"Mh-hm," she hummed out, then just plainly asked, "Where were you?"

"Where were you?," he shot back.

That didn't work, either. She started to narrow his eyes, so he quickly thought on his feet. "Tried to find us some food," he said and 'as casually as possible' shrugged, "No place is open."

"I wouldn't think," she said, "Since there isn't any food places for a few blocks, the bike's out of gas again, and you're terrified of the Ferrari."

Dammit, she had to bring that up. He had already argued with her a thousand times that the Ferrrari hates him and would gladly ram itself into a nearby cement wall if he was ever stupid enough to strap himself in it and leave the doors locked. So, he didn't argue and just agreed, which is the smart thing. He shrugged again, "Yeah, that was the problem."

"Mh-hm," she hummed again, but stepped back from the door, letting him in. He quickly shuffled around her, as smooth as possible, while she closed the door.

He heard her sigh and he knew he was in the clear.

Chris looked over to him, his shoulders relaxing, and asked, "So, how's Callan been?"

"Oh, he's good and-" Slowly, his eyes fluttered closed and he bit his bottom lip, breathing in a sharp breath.

"Well, that's good," she said, walking around to the front of him.

He refused to open his eyes. All he'd see is that damn cocky smile and that 'got ya' face of her's. Instead, he ground his teeth and decided to change the subject. "I'm not scared of the Ferrari. It just hates me."

Again, it didn't work. He felt her hands digging around his jacket and heard her voice, "So, what did he want?"

Without opening his eyes, he reached into the pocket she hadn't started digging in yet and pulled out the disk.

"Oooh!," he could practically hear her eyes sparkle at the new 'thingamabob that might do stuff', "What's that?" Before he could say anything, she took it from him, looking it over as if it would just tell her.

After rubbing his eyes a little, Li eventually opened them. "It's supposed to be the bounties that White put out on us."

She looked back to him. "White put bounties on us?"

He shrugged.

She blinked. "How much am I?"

And he sighed. "I don't know. I haven't looked at it, ye-... Is that what you're curious about? Really?"

"Oh, please," she said, walking towards the couch with it, "Like you didn't wonder how much you're worth."

He huffed before following her, mumbling, "I was worth over ten million before all this happened." Li was about to mumble something else, when he just pointed at her. "What's that?"

"Oh, this little thing?," she said, motioning to the laptop that was starting up on her lap, "I believe all those geeks out there call it a computer, but that's, ya know, the official term fo-"

"Nevermind," he groaned, sitting down next to her and rubbing his eyes again, "I actually don't want to know where it came from."

"Good," she said, putting the disk in and focusing on the laptop, "Because you probably wouldn't like it."

"I didn't think I would."

Once the moniter buzzed to life, six screens popped up all at the same time, one quickly after the other, until it landed on the top most page. They both leaned in, looking at the file, picture, and cash value.

Li was the first to speak. "How is the monkey worth ten thousand dollars?," he asked, staring at a picture of Bobo, "I couldn't even give him away to that circus a few years back."

"Why is he even on here?," Chris mumbled, blinking, "Are they in trouble or something?"

He shook his head and told her, since it was already out in the open anyway, "Callan said that he had found them, but they aren't causing any trouble. He's keeping them under wraps."

"So, the price-?"

"Is bait," he finished. The only reason Bobo was on there was, if he was captured, one of them would go find him... Well, Rex would anyway.

Chris sighed. "So that means next is..." She went to the next page and, sure enough, there was her sister at a hefty fifty thousand. "Terrific," she breathed out.

He shook his head, "Let's just see who's next." Gratefully, she obliged and went to the next page.

Which was Circe.

"Damn," Li whispered.

"She'd be excited to know she's worth that much," Chris mumbled.

Above the girl's info was the price on her head, which was a clean million.

Chris mumbled again, changing her earlier enthusiastic, "That's just not right."

He started rubbing his eyes again, which was becoming a steady habit in these kinds of situations. "I'm pretty sure that King isn't even on there."

"Course not," she answered, "As soon as we're gone then he won't have anything to do with Providence... until he's bored, apparently."

He just kept his eyes closed. "Who's next?"

She clicked to the next screen. "You are," she said, earning a groan from him, "But you're still at ten million, so that's... uh..."

"Something?," he asked, opening his eyes to look at the page.

"Yeah, yeah... it's uh, something," she mumbled.

Li noticed something. "They keep getting higher... and there's two pages left..."

"Well," Chris sighed, "Rex will be at the top, since King wants him so ba-" She clicked the next screen, and was suddenly looking at Rex.

"Or...," she tried to come up with a better excuse, while Li quickly found the price.

"Now, Rex will actually be proud of that," he said, looking at fifty million dollars.

They both stared at the screen in silence for a few seconds, until Li moaned, "Just go to the next one before I lose my nerve."

She closed her eyes and clicked to the next screen. "I can't look. What's the number?," she asked.

It was silent.

"Li?"

"You're at... fifty million...," he answered in a low voice.

She opened an eye to look over at him. "Oh, that's it?"

He slowly revised. "Fifty million... dead... You're two hundred million alive..."

Her eyes opened wide to look at the screen. "What?"

"Ok!," he said suddenly said, making her jump, as he quickly stood, "That's it!"

"What?," she asked again, now watching him pace, "What's it?"

"No, no! There's no way in hell!," he steadily talked again, almost to the babbling stage.

She blinked up at him, moving the laptop to the side. "Are you... actually having a breakdown?... You?"

"No!," he said, then thought about that for a second, "Yes! Maybe! I don't know!"

Chris could tell this was going nowhere good. "Li?"

"We can't do this!," he close to the edge of screaming, "We can't keep running from these idiots!"

"Um?," she was about to ask what else they could do, other than find Rex, when he started waving his hands again.

"No, no! I mean-! Aah!," he was now officially frustrated.

"Ok," she sighed, standing up and walking over to him, "Li-"

"No!," he said again, holding at arm's length, "You know what I mean! You're a damn telepath!"

"I know what you're trying to say," she answered, "But I know you don't mean it."

"Of course I don't-! Aah! We can't do this!"

She looked him up and down. "I never thought I'd see the day when you'd actually have a panic attack."

"Chris," he breathed out, lightly closing his eyes for a second, then opened them again. "We, we, can't do this. I don't mean leaving eachother. I me-"

"Li-"

"No! Chris! Listen," he said, trying to figure out what to say, but for the life of him, he didn't know what, "We can't- As long as we're together, they're going to find us eventually. Especially, King. And now, with even more idiots looking for us, he's just going to follow them around until he finds us again."

"We're stronger together than we are apart, Li," she sighed.

"Yes, but we're hidden better if we're apa-"

"No," she sighed again, "I'm hidden better if we're apart. You're just going to be this big, neon green, ninja running around on everyone's radar."

"I'd like to think it's not that ba-"

"Besides," she cut him off, moving closer to him, her voice lowering, "I gave you the chance to ditch me back in Providence and you didn't take it. It's too late now."

"That's because you were safer if you were with me," he said, closing his eyes, "That's not the case anymore. Things changed."

Now she was getting frustrated. "Where did things cha-?"

"When they wanted you alive!," he screamed at her, clutching her arms. "Do you know what that means? Do you know what they want to do to you?"

"They aren't going to get that chan-"

"If they get me, what would you do?," he asked. She stayed silent, trying to not look away from his serious and burning eyes, but eventually she let her gaze fall to look at the wall pass him. She felt his hand reach up to move a piece of hair from her face, before softly saying, "I know what I'd do."

Her eyes slid back over to his. "That's why we have to stay together," she whispered, "We are safer together." He opened his mouth to protest again, but her arms wrapped around his neck before he could speak and she continued. "If you were on the other side of the globe and something happened to you, I would know about it, whether I wanted to or not," she looked down from his face to stare at his neck, playing with the collar of his shirt, "You can't just randomly leave me and die, now. I love you too much."

He slowly let out the air in his lungs, looking at her, his hands dangling from her arms. "I think that bond thing works both ways now," he whispered back.

Chris' eyes shot up to him. "Really?"

Li nodded. After they had been together for awhile he had started noticing odd happenings between them. Sometimes he'd suddenly feel sad and guilty, only to later realize that she had visited her sister. Other times he'd feel suddenly protective, then notice Rex walking out of her lab with a big grin. Things like that. Steadily, they had gotten stronger, until they were finishing eachother sentences and eventually having whole conversations without a word, sometimes not even in the same room, and he hadn't really noticed. It was just... a thing.

Her eyes slightly widened. "I don't know how- I didn't mean- I'm sorry, I just-"

"Chris," he stopped her, seeing that she was about to hyperventilate, "It's ok. It's just..." Li stopped to take a deep breath and looked her straight in her beautiful green eyes. "I can't lose you. You understand? I can't."

Her eyes closed and moved closer to him, resting her head against his chest. "You're not," she told him.

His lips twitched into a smile, his arms wrapping around her. "I'm not leaving, am I?"

"Nope."

"If I do, you'll just follow me."

"And we can't have all that. It'll just make drama."

His lips twitched again. "I think I can live with that."

She slowly looked up to him, serious again. "You're not going to beg?"

"Not right now," he said, one hand cupping her cheek, "It's not that bad, yet."

"But..."

"It's on my list of things to do," he admitted.

She smiled up at him. "After we find Rex and Circe."

Li smiled, too. He knew what that meant. Witnesses. "Deal," he agreed, before pressing his lips against hers.

o0o

Yay! Holix!

I'm sorry if that tid bit came off a little... mushy lol. You know, that whole 'bound to eachother' thing. BUT~ We haven't had some Holix in a long time, so we needed something fluffy in there. Plus, the bond thing they have is going to be pretty important in the ending chaps... Yeah...

I know how the climatic ending is going to go down, but I'm still not 100% sure on how it's going to end up. I've done decided on different scenarios and changed my mind so many times. Seriously, I have narrowed it down to... 1... 3... SIX SCENARIOS XD. Really though, I think I've finally decided on one (CUZ IT'S REALLY GOOD AND LEAVES ROOM FOR ME TO LEAVE ONE HELL OF A CLIFFHANGER) but I'm not 100% on how that scenario is going to end up so... SIGH

Either everyone dies, someone dies, or no one dies, or everything goes to hell, or happily ever after, or we have Breakeven 3 version 1, or we have Breakeven 3 version 2. Yes. That's what I'm dealing with right now. And each of those scenarios have had little branches of scenarios for them and GAH! THIS STORY IS TOO DAMN EPIC!

ANYWAY~ We'll be seeing some Circex in the next chap, then... I have no idea honestly... We'll see. (It's either scenario dance club, or scenario street race, or scenario King, or blahblahblahblah and no, we're not at the end. We probably have about... 10 or 20 more chaps till then.)

Ok, Read and Review!
