GHandB10Fan- I wasn't much on X-Men Origins either (I was just happy Gambit was there), but I think First Class will be decent. I'm an X-Men fan. I'm gonna see it anyway and complain lol. I never considered the bunny of Logan being Kurt's dad, though... . huh... ANYWAY! I have the wedding pretty much planned out, but Six and the Ferrari will have a bonding experience a little later. MUHAHAHAH oh, the fun. The Holix wedding WILL happen. It's after that when the shit is going to start hitting the fan, so to speak XD. It depends on how this fic is gonna end (my many scenario options) to see if there'll be a part 3 at all. Oh yeah, they're going to stay together. I just like to tease and give some drama in there lol. That reminds me, I should be studing history right now... SIGH. More than happy to take the stress away, btw ^.^

OMG, Switch Out got stupid popular. I had NO idea people would love it that much. Sorry to the readers over there, but I really want to work on Breakeven, which is so strange, but I decided to just roll with it.

RECAP: We are officially out of the flashback. In the last chapter (54), Callan proved that he is trying to help the team from the inside of Providence by handing over information to Six. The information contained bounties on our heroes (yes, I'm talking like a commercial, don't hate), with Holiday at fifty million dead, but two hundred million alive.

NOW! We're going to do a WHOLE STORY RECAP with our favorite teenagers. Hope you guys missed Rex and Circe as much as I did. OH and be on the lookout for a very tiny, very small nod to the original theme song of this fic, Breakeven by The Script. Seriously, it is so super tiny XD. In fact, whenever I read this over, I probably won't see it lol.

Just so you know, it was so tempting to put in another Flashback... BUT I RESISTED! XD

The sun was starting to set over the horizon and the sky started turning from a bright blue into a pinkish-orange. The light of the fading sky glistened off the orange and black Camaro speeding down the interstate, the silver Lambo right behind it, going wherever it's master willed it.

Nothing else was on the road for the moment, so, with the oppurtunity, the Camaro slowly drove offroad, coming to the nearest overpass. It and the Lamborghini drove under the pass and out of sight of any other traffic.

The headlights of each car came on, lighting the little area beneath the pass a little more. It wasn't like the imaginary battery was going to go out or something.

Both doors of the Camaro popped open, the two teens stepping out, finally able to stretch their legs a little.

"So," Rex smirked, as he stretched, standing on his toes, "Any idea on what state we're in, now?"

Circe rubbed the back of her neck. "I got tired of reading signs about thirty miles back," she yawned.

"Me either," he replied, ducking back into the car again, while Circe closed her door. When he leaned back up, and tried to cooly close the door with his hip, she was standing there, ready to take some of the bags from him.

He handed her the Taco Bell and KFC, while he carried Sonic and Burger King.

When Rex asked if she was hungry a few hours ago, she didn't think that saying 'yes' meant they were going to stop at every restaurant at the next exit. She was a little curious on how Rex could afford all the food, but her hunger outweighed the curiousity.

He walked beneath the pass, finally settling down where the ground and the concrete met, Circe sat beside him, placing her bags with his between them. They then started taking out the contents. Burgers, chicken, tacos, burgers, chalupas, nachos, burgers, etc.

"Tch!," Rex groaned, digging through the Sonic bag, "They forgot the fries!"

Circe gave him a look over her bacon cheese burger. "I think we'll manage," she murmured between bites.

He shot back his own look, while he angrily drank from his coke... at least, angry as one can get from drinking a coke.

It was always strange how fast the sun could set without anyone really noticing. The sun was now gone, but the light was still there, the twilight shining against the clouds.

The Camaro and Lamborghini stayed lit in front of them, engines purring.

Rex was in the middle of a chicken leg when he decided to wonder out loud. "Where you think Six and Holiday are?"

"They can't be that much further," Circe answered, sipping on her coke, basically done with her food, "Whenever we get close enough, Em'll be able to sense us and they'll come to us."

"Hope so," he breathed out, throwing the bone away.

"You don't think so," she stated more than asked. Whatever had happened in his past, Rex had been pretty shut tight about it, but he was still so worried that since Holiday and Six knew, that it wouldn't turn out well. That they'll somehow end up turning against him. The guilt was starting to swallow him.

"Well, I mean," Rex tried to defend himself, "there's no telling what could've happened between then and now. I mean, they may just let us pass by... may have already let us pass by. They might be in China somewhere. They might not even still be ali-!"

"Rex!," Circe cut him off, getting more angry with this than comforting, "Would you just stop being like that and trust them. They care about you, about 're alive and it's going to be ok."

His head rolled over to look at her. "How do you know?"

"Because I trust them."

He sighed and looked away again. She knew what he was thinking. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, because he did. It was the fact that he trusted them that was scaring him. They were the only people that saved him, the only ones that were really there for him. For them to turn their backs on him or worse, turn against him, it would be awful.

Frankly, she had enough of this. It was no secret to her that she was the one being left out of the loop on information that was kind of on a need to know basis. Not to mention all this stuff that Rex was trying to go through on his own. In any other case, she would step back and let one of the 'puppet parents' help out on this, especially since they already both knew, but they weren't here and Rex was slowly falling to peices.

Alright, well, desperate times and all that. "Rex," she sighed, "We're going to run into King eventually." His eyes shot over to her, but she wasn't looking back to him. Instead, she continued, "I know a little about what they were doing, but I know you know more than I do."

He raised an eyebrow at this. She knew...what? "What do you know?," he asked cautiously.

Circe glanced up to him. "That they weren't really researching nanites," she began, "That they were just looking for weapons. I know White was involved with development and I know King was in charge of the whole thing. And... that Van Kleiss, even though he knew so much, wasn't one of the people working on it."

Well, maybe he could tell her a little.

Rex smiled, "No, he was working on them." Her head popped up to look at him. He grinned a little wider, the smile not reaching his eyes, while he looked away. "I told you Van Kleiss was my brother and I told you about my parents." She nodded and he continued. "They were all working on it, including my brother."

"You said that, but...," she was a little hesitant to interrupt, but this had been nagging at her, "I never found any information concerning the researcher's families. I mean, they didn't really have any."

Rex smiled again at the ground. "My parents were the ones who created the nanites. Alex... Van Kleiss, he was a good bit older than I was. About two or three years older than I am now. Once mom and dad got the ball rolling with the nanites, he started helping out. He was so different back then," he muttered off, but got back into explaining again, "My parents were really doctors. They were just trying to find something to help out with everything."

She stayed quiet. This wasn't at all like any of the information she found had said, but she was still curious.

He continued, looking over at the sky. "Eventually, things started to get technical and dad called in a friend, Rylander. He started helping out with it... then something happened."

"What?," she asked, really into this story.

Rex rubbed his eyes and the back of his head, his elbows now leaning on his knees. "They ran out of money," he answered. "Everyone kinda thought I was too old to get anything, so they didn't bother to tell me specifics. What I did know was that mom wanted to bring it the government. Dad kept arguing that it wouldn't work and said it would just end up like stem cell research or something, to just help the government itself to get along. So, they decided to get the money from... another source. Sadly, Rylander had connections with that type of thing."

"Type of thing?," she breathed.

"With illegal science," he answered, "That's when we met Erik." His eyes glided over to hers, and he answered her unasked question, "King."

Circe narrowed her eyes, but didn't speak, letting him continue.

Rex looked away again. "He wasn't all that bad at first.," he continued, "but there was still something about him that I didn't like. So, anyway, in order for my parents to get some money out of him, he had to work on the project, too. They didn't really mind at the time, figuring that they could use all the help they could get. Then some things happened, little things. Erik kept calling in friends of his and before we knew it, there was a whole team... and then there was a coupe and we didn't even know it.

Since everything had been kept so secret," Rex continued, looking at the now navy sky, "There was no else around for miles that could help us..." He closed his eyes, trying to think back to exactly that event. "Alex was the first to find out. Up until that point, they were using little animals, mice and rodents, for testing. Alex was always a smooth guy, so I confided in him what I thought about Erik. He was the only one to take me seriously. He tricked Erik into thinking that he was wanting in on whatever was going on, so King showed him the inner workings.

Once Alex had gotten back to me, he told me what was really going on. That they were purposly corrupting the nanites in order to make monsters and living weapons. If that weren't enough, they had discovered that people were more susceptible to the nanites than animals, like they were intended to be, so they started using human subjects. We told our parents, then things went to hell."

Rex sighed, letting his eyes close. "King locked us up when dad confronted him about it, started using us for testing." He rubbed the back of his neck, starting to get a little nervous. "My parents found an opening somewhere and tried to get me and Alex to escape, but it didn't go well. They captured us both and gave us two different batches of nanites. Alex became feral... a little freaky... and I turned into this. Mom died... Apparently, dad did, too, but I didn't know that until a little while ago. Must have been in the event."

Circe's voice came out in a whisper. "How did she die?"

Rex's eyes cracked open. "You remember when Tyrone captured you guys. That shape shifter. And Doc had a mark on her arm that was hurting her."

He said it as a fact, but she nodded all the same.

"It was that mark. Both of my parents had it. I saved dad in time, but I got to mom too late. It was...," he looked at the ground, "It wasn't pretty."

"I'm sorry," she whispered again, looking away from him. She didn't mean to bring up something like that.

"It's alright," he shook his head, "It was a long time ago and, at least, I was able to save Holiday."

"Yeah," Circe breathed out. She didn't even want to think of what could've been, though it was really close.

Rex stayed there, eyes glued to the ground, his hands clenched. He knew if he didn't tell her now, then he probably wouldn't, but she deserved to know.

But there was still all of that doubt. Closing his eyes, he pushed it to the back of his mind. Just say it. Just blurt it out. She should know. Every Evo should. They all have a right to know... Dammit, Rex! Just tell her! If you care about her at all, then just tell her!

"I caused the Nanite Event."

o0o

I guess we'll get back to Circex in the next chap. lol I'm not sure which direction I want to go after that, but I'll figure it out, I always do.

OOOH! Let's have a vote! Ok, after they're done talking, what do YOU want to happen? (Cause I'm probably going to go in all these directions eventually, just don't know in what order.)

A- We stay with Circex for a little while and we watch them survive and maybe a little fluff.

B- We go back to Holix. Probably see some fluff from them and maybe more Ferrari adventures.

C- We visit Callan, Noah, and Ramirez, see what they're up to as far as King goes. (This scenario includes the return of King.)

GET OUT THE VOTE.

Or if you don't care, that's cool, too.

Read and Review! I LOVE YOU ALL THIIIIIIIIS MUCH.
