September 2014 Blackstone Home:

Rob was not happy and it showed as he paced the floor glaring at the man on the screen before him. He might be a teen, in high school (and straight A student) and the youngest profiler of the FBI, (if formally recognized for his skills), ever. Yet right now he was very unhappy with the man before him and his own mom was standing by him arms folded across her chest not looking very happy at all.

"I was promised this would not expose me!" Rob snapped, "yet guess who showed up today on my very doorstep?"

"I could not control that Rob." Doggett said, "they were not there for you, Donald Stone was one of Mulder's."

"Still this could expose my son." Judy said her gray eyes narrowing, "you promised John."

"And I kept my word." Doggett replied, "he is safe."

"He better be after all I did to make sure of that." Les said walking up to stand by his wife and son.

"Fine, Donald Stone found out who the leader of the Syndicate is." Doggett said, "Jeffery Spender."

"Spender?" Les said, "thought he was dead."

"No very much alive, you get the packet I sent?"

"Yes, I got it." Les said.

"Open it yet?" Doggett said knowing how Les could get, especially with physical mail that was far harder to trace than what was sent electronically. "Might want to do so now."

Les went to where the mail was (and he got a lot, sent out mail this way too) and took out what looked like junk mail and opened it. He took out the photos and leafed through them. All showed a handsome middle-aged man who was clearly Jeffery Spender. Les looked up at Doggett who looked grim. This was another part of the Mulder-Spender family he wanted no part of. Even Covarrubias was a bit too much for him to deal with and she was quite the enemy of the Syndicate and was always two or three steps ahead of them.

"This is bad." Les said looking worried.

"Yea, it's my life, they know what William could do, if that is traced to me, I am dead!" Rob said.

"You have protection." Doggett said.

"We know." Les and Judy said as one.

"Yea, I know as well, but he can't fully protect me, not if they want me dead too." Rob said.

"They don't, and would not have stepped in if not for the fact the Syndicate was close to creating a soldier to unleash on them." Doggett said, "they came close but never did make it."

"Cloak and dagger smoke and mirrors." Rob muttered, then out loud, "keep Mulder away from me, that is all I ask."

"I will do my best." Doggett replied, "but one day…"

"No, no one day, I can't." Rob said, "not with what I know and how early I learned that truth."

On the surface the Blackstone family was one that had everything, Les had a successful security business that had weathered the tough times of the last fifteen years very well. They had three lovely children and lived in a great town. Yet under all that they knew Robert was special, he was human, there was no doubt about that, but he was special. He could do things that, as far as they knew no other human could. They called him their little Jedi and taught him how to hide his powers. But that had not been enough to stop the alien bounty hunter finding him. He had come, set up a business and kept Rob safe, teaching him self-defense in public at his dojo and guarding him in private.

One thing that Rob had to do was hide just how smart he really was. He could have graduated high school two times over by now, but he hid that fact and went to school. It was not all bad, he made lots of friends and got good grades and was even on the cross-country and track teams. He was well liked even if considered old fashioned as he steered clear of much of the internet his friends were always on. He had even, as a bet (with his sisters help) made a quilt. His parents made his life as normal as possible for what he was and helped him keep his secret. If that secret got out he was dead and he knew it.

"Look I will keep them clear of you." Doggett said, "that I can do."

"Thank you." Rob replied. "I will not become a pawn in this war!"

"We will talk later." Doggett said signing off.

"I mean it, I will not be a pawn." Rob said.

"And I will not let you." Totowa, formally known as the Alien Bounty Hunter said walking up, "I swore when I found you to protect and defend you, you are blessed, and for a cursed one such as I, well I wish to help."

"You are not cursed how many times must I say that, you were created and forced into this war but not willingly." Judy said, "we know that, and deep down you have always tried to do what is right."

"So much blood on my hands." Totowa replied, "I can never get them clean truly."

Rob just nodded and headed to his room to listen to some music and read to decompress. He was very worried and hopped that he would stay out of the war a little while longer. Last thing he needed was Spender to find him and do who knows what to him.

Dear mom,

I hope this letter finds you well. I and the kids are doing well, Judy is happy in her new job. I had a visit at my home, Fox and Dana showed up. Rob was home and he was not happy to say the least, well with Fox. I know you love him as a son, and have asked me to not judge him on his family. Even if they betrayed America as you well know. I can't have him around my son.

Anyway Peter and Mary are doing well, they both are A students and happy in school. Though sometimes the school just does not know how to handle genius like what runs through the family. Anyway, I love you mom, and do miss you though I know Bill watches over you as does dad.

Love,

Charlie.

The elderly Mrs. Scully put the letter down with few tears in her eyes. She wanted to keep the letter, to cherish it, but it was too dangerous. Her youngest son had "gone dark" and though she would never know where he lived she at least knew about her grandchildren and how they were doing. She burned the letter and looked over at the picture of her husband over the mantle.

"He is still safe, Charlie will see to it." Mrs. Scully said to the picture, "all our children, you should be so proud of them."

The letter burned to ash and Mrs. Scully went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of cocoa. She still lived in the same house she had for years, though now with her eldest son and his family. He was retired for the navy and worked for the defense department and had gone from hating Fox to caring for him. It was not strange, he was his father's child after all and he had risked a lot to keep both Fox and Dana safe for those six years they were on the run. Still she wanted one thing, her family whole and safe and that was all, but with evil out there that was never to be in this life. She took a seat at the kitchen table and sipped her cocoa deep in thought.

So more questions here, and we know that Rob kept his gifts. Spender is alive and well and yes, Les is Charlie Scully, we never did hear or see much about him and so I decided to go this route with him. He is deep cover and not about to come to the surface as it were any time soon, if ever.

Anyway, do review please!
