Hey guys, this is the LAST CHAPTER!

It's pretty long, so enjoy! :)

"Hi Beck, did you miss me?" Jade asked and he stared at her shocked. He hadn't expected to see her again, he had waited for her for months after she left but his hope vanished as the time passed by. He had decided to finally get over her and now she was back, she was alive and she was there, after two years. It felt surreal.

"What…" Beck muttered completely shocked and she smiled a little.

"I know I'm not what you were expecting" She said but he was still in shock, he was looking at her like he was seeing a ghost. "Please sit, no one else is coming" She informed, he looked down and sat back down while she looked around to make sure they hadn't caught anyone's attention.

"I…I thought you were dead or out of the country" He admitted confused as she sat down as well.

"I know" Jade said. "I was for a while"

"What are you doing here? How did you know I'd be here?" Beck asked.

"You told me, we've talked for weeks" Jade informed and he looked at her disconcertedly.

"You…You were…" He said.

"Chloe? Yes, also Jane, and Annie, and Laura" Jade commented and he shook his head confused.

"Why?" Beck asked coldly.

"I made different profiles, some more like Jade's and some completely different, at first I expected you to choose Jane, she looked like me and she talked to you first but you ignored her, you didn't want to be reminded of me" Jade explained, a little sadness dripping from her voice, and he looked down. "It makes sense, I should've seen it coming"

"I don't understand" Beck admitted.

"Well, since you ignored Jane, I had to come up with alternatives and I know you, Beck, I know what you like, I knew you'd like Chloe" Jade commented. "She is totally different from me, but she is not a pushover, she has similar taste in music to yours and well, she is pretty so…" She added as she looked to the side slightly annoyed, she deep inside felt bothered by the fact Beck had actually tried to date someone else even though it was understandable.

"I don't care how you did it, I want to know why" He responded.

"Because I needed to talk to you" Jade said and took a breath.

"Yeah? After two years?" Beck asked upset and she looked down. "I thought you were dead, do you have any idea of what these years have been like for me? Do you?" He asked and she looked back at him sadly.

"I couldn't approach you before, but I made sure you were okay" Jade commented.

"Oh thank you very much" He said sarcastically.

"I know you are upset and you have the right to be" She said. "The last time we met wasn't ideal and-" she started but he cut her off.

"You tried to kill me!" He exclaimed and she looked to the side to see if someone was looking at them.

"Could you not yell it?" Jade asked annoyed and sighed. "I know I scared you and I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight…" She admitted and looked down. "I spent months being tortured, Beck, they did horrible things to me while talking about everything I'd done and what my childhood had been like, I was sure you'd told them"

"What did they do to you?" Beck asked curiously.

"All of the things I practiced for, but they weren't as careful as John so…I don't remember how most of those times ended, my memories just cut to the horrible next episode, I don't remember having a single moment of peace…I was either getting tortured or getting told how I would be tortured later" Jade commented as she remembered "They also beat me, they tied my arms to a chain and left me hanging for hours, they hit me with an iron stick, they choked me, they starved me for weeks and they did many other things, like I said, I barely remember some of them…" She admitted sadly.

"Oh my god" Beck said shocked and she nodded.

"Yes, it was horrible…not even all the practice I'd had made it easier when it was real" Jade admitted "And all I could think about during that time was the fact you'd betrayed me, I was angry and hurt and that's why I went to see you as soon as I was free, I wanted to kill you and the truth is I didn't do it only because John showed up, thank god" She said and looked down ashamedly "I always think about that day and how close I was to…and it's just…" She said mortified and shook her head.

"I didn't betray you" He said coldly and she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, I know that now" She responded annoyed. "I'm sorry"

"I understand, Jade, I understand that you were angry and you wanted revenge, I understand all of that and I am over it" Beck affirmed so she stared at him a little surprised "You know what I don't understand, though? The fact you just disappeared for two fucking years and you didn't have the decency to even send a letter" He said angrily as he felt the tears coming "I thought you were dead! I cried for you every fucking night for months, I mourned your loss and now that I thought I could finally move on, you just…" He said as he opened his hands and motioned at her but then he shook his head and looked to the side.

"I'm really sorry, Beck" Jade said sincerely "I couldn't risk your life, I needed you to be safe"

"That wasn't your choice, I deserved to know you were alive!" Beck affirmed. "I think it's the least you could've done after everything you did"

"I know" Jade said and looked down as she shrugged "I don't know what else to tell you, I'm sorry but I needed to get my life under control first" She said and he took a breath to calm down.

"What happened all this time?" Beck asked.

"A lot…" Jade admitted and he sat back listening so she sighed "It's a long story"

"We have time" He simply said.

"After we left your house, John and I had to leave the country illegally so…that was a fun trip" She said sarcastically "I spent some time in Mexico awaiting new orders from Moscow and then we had a mission, it went bad…" Jade said and she looked down to hide her teary eyes. "John was killed and I barely made it out"

"Oh my god" Beck said.

"I was all alone so I went into hiding but then Robert, a CIA man I met while I was still Jade, well, he found me" Jade informed.

"They took you back to that black site?" He asked worriedly

"He gave me a choice, I could either go back there to die or I could betray my country and receive protection from yours" Jade informed and shrugged. "I chose life"

"And what happened then?" Beck asked. "What did they ask you to do?"

"Talk loud and clear" Jade said with a fake smile and sighed "I told them everything, I helped them to arrest other spies and I told them about some of the missions I knew about in exchange for immunity, so I've been under witness protection for a year" she explained.

"And doesn't that mean Russia wants your head now?" Beck asked and she looked at him for a few seconds.

"You could say that" Jade said emotionlessly. "Anyway, I just wanted to apologize and let you know I'm alive" she commented as she grabbed her purse "And I can see you don't want me around, so don't worry, this won't happen again" she informed sadly and stood up but he grabbed her arm.

"Wait, you can't just leave" He said.

"You said it, you're ready to move on and I think you should" She said as she looked at him with a sad smile.

"What about you?" He asked and she sighed.

"Me, well…I'll just try to move on too, I guess" Jade said "Bye Beck" she added and tried to get his hand off her arm but he stood up.

"You can't leave, not again" Beck said.

"What?" She asked confused.

"You heard me, you can't just come back out of nowhere and leave me again, I won't allow it" He said. "I love you, Jade, I have tried to stop but I can't, you're like a disease" Beck commented and she chuckled.

"Wow…I'm really flattered" She said sarcastically.

"You know what I mean" Beck responded. "You can't leave because I love you and I need you, and I know you love me too, otherwise you wouldn't have done any of this foolishness, you wanted to see me again" He commented and she looked to the side trying to hide her smile.

"I just…wanted to say sorry" Jade said but he simply grabbed her chin gently and made her face him.

"Really? Then look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore" He demanded and she stared at him for several seconds but then looked away, so he smiled. "See? I'm right, you love me and I love you, so why do you want to leave?"

"Because…life is complicated and two years won't erase everything I've done, I know you still remember all the crimes I committed" Jade commented sadly. "I may be out now, but the past will never change"

"I know that, I've had two years where the only thing I said to myself was that I was better off without you, I tried to hate you, I tried to despise you but I just…I couldn't" Beck admitted sincerely "I wished to have you back every single day, even after finding out the truth, cause even having to live with you as Alexandra was better than not having you at all" He said and she smiled a little as a couple of tears streamed down her face.

"Are you sure about this? There's no going back, Beck" Jade said.

"What do you mean? You no longer work as a spy, you can finally have a normal life, we can be happy" Beck said smiling and she thought about it but then smiled back.

"You are right, I just…yeah, I just need you to be sure that you love me because I…" Jade couldn't really find the words. "I do love you, Beck, and I just don't want you to wake up one day and realize you can't live with what I've done" She admitted with more tears streaming down her face. "I killed so many people…and…"

"And you didn't have a choice and I don't want to even think about that, it's in the past" He responded as he held her hands and she sighed. "Let's just leave this behind us and move on, we can start over" He said smiling.

"Do you really think we can?" Jade asked and he smiled as he sat down again but he didn't stop holding her hands, so she sat down next to him.

"Yes" He responded sharply and wiped the tears off her face "So tell me, I want to know it all about you, what's your new name? Where do you live?" Beck questioned and she smiled.

"I'm still Jade, just not West anymore…my new name is Jade Anderson" She informed. "And I live here in Los Angeles, not too far from this place actually, I'm currently working as a singer in a restaurant, it's good money and it's low key"

"That's what you do all day?" He asked.

"No, I also work with Robert, he keeps an eye on me while I give him tips and teach some lessons for their agents, it's awkward" Jade admitted. "Having to stand there and tell those people how to catch and treat people like me"

"But it keeps you free" Beck said.

"I also teach them Russian" She said and chuckled, so he did too "It's a weird change from going to high school" Jade admitted. "But you're done now, aren't you?"

"Yes, we all are but we still meet for cards" He said and smiled at her. "Tori has an apartment now, and we still go to her place" He added.

"What about the others? Are they okay?" Jade asked.

"Yes, they are all fine and they'll be happy to see you again" Beck affirmed and she sighed.

"I hope so" Jade said.

"So, you're a blonde now?" Beck asked and she laughed.

"No, it's a wig" She informed.

"You look great, though" He complimented nicely and she smiled so he held her hand tighter "This will be our new beginning"

Jade and Beck continued meeting and after a few weeks, she also met with the gang, they were all shocked to see her, but they warmed up to her quickly, especially after learning she had given up her previous status as a spy. Everything felt okay, it was like being back to normal, they would hang out and have fun together, Beck and Jade dated for about a year and then finally decided to move in together; it was the logical next step in their relationship, they loved each other, and it was nice to finally have a normal life.

"So, how was the audition?" Andre asked Tori as they all sat down around the table in Beck and Jade's apartment.

"It was okay but I don't know, there were some big names there so I might not get the role" Tori admitted.

"There are other roles" Robbie said to make her feel better.

"Yes, I'm okay" Tori said and smiled.

"What about you guys? How is married life treating you?" Andre asked Beck and Jade so they looked at each other.

"We are not married" Jade said

"Yet" Beck added and she smiled.

"Oh my god, did you actually propose?" Tori asked surprised and Beck smiled as he held Jade's hand and showed them the ring on her finger.

"Ah! That's so pretty!" Cat exclaimed happily.

"I had to save up for half a year, so it had to be worth it" Beck commented and they all laughed, Jade gave him a sweet kiss and he put his arm around her shoulders so she leaned on him.

"You guys are so cute" Tori admitted. "I'm glad you got back together"

"Yes, it's been two great years for you" Andre added. "I mean, getting back together after all that time Jade was away and then moving in and now you're engaged, you have this amazing apartment and everything is good" He said gladly and they smiled.

"Yes, it's been great" Beck said and kissed Jade's cheek.

"And has anything…new happened?" Tori asked Jade and her smile slowly dropped.

"You mean, has Russia tried to kill me recently?" Jade asked back and they looked at each other.

"You defected and you said they would hunt you down" Andre commented.

"They think I'm dead, as far as they know, I died with John three years ago in Mexico" Jade explained "That's the information Robert leaked within too, so I'm not a concern for them anymore"

"Exactly, Jade is out of their reach and we can finally leave in peace" Beck said and she nodded.

"That is great" Andre said.

"Does Robert still make you teach the courses?" Robbie asked.

"Yeah, that's my job now" Jade said "But it pays the bills and at least I still get to perform, he says that with time, I'll be able to do the courses and all that stuff on the side and pursue an artistic career, it's a good deal"

"Definitely a lot better than a black site" Andre commented and she sighed as she drank some wine, she didn't like to remember that. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you"

"It's fine" Jade simply said "That's over now"

"And Katherine? What ever happened with her?" Cat asked.

"She got some death threats, so she had to leave the country and hide" Jade informed and chuckled to herself "That's what the bitch deserved"

"Did those death threats come from Russia?" Tori asked.

"Of course they did, I told them all about her as soon as I was free from the black site" Jade said and they looked at each other so she smiled annoyed. "We are not going back to that time, are we?"

"What do you mean?" Cat asked.

"You know, the times when I would say something and you all would look at each other scared" Jade said.

"No, of course not" Andre said and sighed. "That's in the past"

"Exactly, Jade no longer works for those people and we are all free, so you don't have to be scared" Beck said.

"It's crazy, isn't it? To think we have come so far…" Tori said and they smiled. "I mean, after everything that happened, we are still here on Friday night four years later playing cards and eating pizza, it's insane" She said.

"It's tradition, so…cheers!" Andre said and they all raised their glasses.

"Cheers!"

Everything was going great for them, the events that had fractured their relationship were four years in the past and they had finally moved on. They were all thriving and their friendship remained intact, Beck and Jade's love had grown stronger and they were now engaged, everything seemed to have fallen into place. There was nothing else Jade could possibly need, at least not in appearance and that's exactly what she wanted. She had to keep the appearance.

"What a lovely day" Jade said as she took a seat in her regular coffee shop.

"It's cold" The attendant said. "The usual?"

"Yes, please" She simply responded and he prepared her coffee while she glanced around the place calmly, then he served it and handed it to her, she simply took the cup to drink it and discreetly grabbed the photo hidden under the cup holder, she put it in her purse and took a sip.

"It's good, as always" Jade said and took another sip, so the man nodded. She left money on the counter and made her way to a park nearby, Beck was working as the lead on a new show, so he was usually busy and she had time to spare by herself during the day.

Jade walked around for around 30 minutes and then sat down on a bench to look at the lake, there was a nice view, it was almost sunset so the day wasn't too sunny and she felt relaxed. She liked to take those walks and they were a great addition to her routine, it helped her disguise her meeting as self-care time.

"You look good" A man said as he sat down next to her on the bench with a newspaper, that man was John but he looked different, he was wearing different clothes, a beard, glasses and a hat.

"So do you, death has never looked better" Jade commented as she pretended to be on the phone "I'm glad you're back in the city, it's been a while"

"I know, I've missed you" He admitted and she sighed.

"I miss you too, I liked our previous life better than this" She admitted.

"I know but things change, we evolve" John said. "And what matters is that we are still on the game" He added so she smirked.

"Yes, we are" Jade said satisfied

"I sent you your new target, did you get it?" He questioned and turned the page on the newspaper to pretend he was actually reading.

"I did" She informed.

"I need you to get to it this week" John ordered. "Instructions are on the back of the photo"

"Got it" She said and took a sip of her coffee.

"They don't suspect you, do they?" He questioned.

"No, they really believe I'm on their side now" Jade affirmed and chuckled a little. "Idiots, after what they did to me in that black site, they really believe I would ever help them, I'd rather die" She added coldly.

"The important thing is that it made you seem weak to them, they think they got to you through the torture and that's what we needed" John said. "You getting turned in by Katherine ended up serving our purpose, if only she'd known..." He added and shook his head smiling

"This plan was genius!" Jade exclaimed and chuckled to herself "I've infiltrated them, they opened the door for me themselves and Katherine gave me the perfect cover story, it's poetic"

"It is impressive" He admitted "I'm proud of you, you managed to turn a failure into your biggest success to date and Katherine doesn't even imagine it"

"She underestimated me, they all did and the best part is that they continue to do it" Jade affirmed.

"Good, that's what we need" John said "Faking my death and sending you back alone was a risky move, but I'm glad we did it because it worked flawlessly" He added.

"Yes, it did, as far as they are concerned, I've been clean for three years…You know, ever since I let Robert 'find me' in Mexico and save me from Russia" She commented and laughed a little. "How stupid" she added cynically.

"Was it hard to convince him you were telling the truth?" John asked.

"Not really, he knew you were dead, he found me trapped like a little kitten and everything I told him proved my loyalty" Jade commented "I gave him all the names you told me, those weaklings and soon to be traitors were taken care of by this country before they could betray us and all the 'secrets' I revealed made him think I was really trying my best to impress them" She added and laughed again, she found it so amusing to be deceiving those people.

"That's great" John said gladly and looked at her hand "I see you are engaged, is it still Beck?" He asked.

"Yes, I told you in my last message…we live together now" She responded.

"Are you sure it's a good idea?" He questioned.

"I don't see why I can't have him with me, I love him and I'm doing enough as it is, I'm not willing to give up everything I have, not anymore" Jade responded.

"He knows too much" John said.

"And that's exactly what makes him worth it, he loves me despite everything" Jade affirmed so he sighed.

"Risky, but as long as you stay on track and he doesn't distract you, it's all good" John commented. "Just be careful, Alexandra"

"My missions are not as recurrent or as dangerous as the ones I had before, it's all low key so he will never find out, he really believes I defected" Jade affirmed. "Besides, having him and my friends around gives Robert comfort, he feels they watch me too"

"And they don't?" John asked.

"No, you're officially dead and they trust me completely" She affirmed.

"Keep it that way, we are playing a bigger game now and we need you here for the long run" John commented and a cynical satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Oh don't worry, I will be"

Dun dun duuuuun ;)

THE END

Yep, she is still kind of bad but hey, at least she is happy with Beck and her friends, it's a win-win for both, Jade and Alexandra.

I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and the story as a whole, it was so much fun to write! :)
