October 31 2014: Colorado Springs NORAD Compound Colorado:
Robert was surprised to be here, what could the United States Air Force want with him? He was even more surprised when he was led into a conference room where three generals, an Admiral and several others were. He was nervous and wished he was dressed better than he was. He was in jeans, a tee shirt hoodie and Nikes. He was not ready for any of this, he saw a man he only had pictures of, one William "Bill" Scully. He knew this man to be his uncle and was shocked to see him at last.
"Last night an attack was done on the Van Camp family, everyone, including their son were murdered." Bill said, clearly he was being allowed to start this meeting off, "the boy was to be taken alive, but he had other ideas, he fought back and killed twenty of those sent to get him. One shot him in the heart, he did three minutes later. Officially this was the birth son of Dana Scully and Fox Mulder."
"I see, what does that have to do with me?" Robert asked.
"We know who you are son and what gifts you have." General Evan Watters of the Air Force said his dark face as calm as it could be, "we know what was done and who did it."
"You mean how I was born?" Robert said, "easy, fertilization and implantation. My birth mother was sterile but could still carry a child, so what was done to me?"
"You are human if that is what concerns you." General Mary Byrane of the Army replied, "but there are things that were done, and you are not the only one. Years of work, of evil work yes has produced a result that evil did not expect. We know what you can do."
"I am not a monkey for your entertainment." Robert said glaring.
"Tough brat." General Marcus Quinn of the Marines said, "You got what, five years and I can recruit you."
"And I could turn your D.I.s to dust." Robert said, "what do you want?"
"Cheeky brat, knows the Navy is better." Admiral Amy Dike said, "we don't want to hurt you, you have done nothing wrong and in fact have been wronged."
"Yes, in some ways I have, but I have a loving family, though you know that and know all about me and who I am and all that." Robert said, "now what?"
Robert was here not because the military was the bad guys. Yes they had been portrayed as such in the past, but they had followed the lead of those who did not follow the path of freedom and now, now they were no longer following that path. They were back to where they needed to be but in a way that the syndicate knew nothing about. In fact they had been the ones to help wipe out most of the syndicate in the first place once they knew who they were. Now they were in a very real hard place and one that they wished they were not. If only they had done things differently so long ago.
"Nearly seventy years ago there was a crash." Admiral Dike said. "Several people died on that crash and, being good people the Army and Air Force leaders of the day had the bodies placed in caskets, given a service and burned. All but one, that was a mistake."
"I think our guests would like to add to this." General Quinn said, "though why they don't blast us all to dust after what we did…"
"We still do not see any reason to." One of the human looking peoples said. "I am an alien and my brother was one of those sent here."
"For what reason?" Robert said feeling angry.
"You know of purity?"
"Yes, I know of it, it is a virus." Robert replied, "what of it?"
"It had come to your world as many before, so my brother and others came to provide a cure, as we have been. Yet they could not show themselves. We came to cure disease and instead those left alive were treated less than people!"
"We thought they were dead." General Bryane said looking said, "they were not, and your grandparents were among those that took them and started an evil that continues to this day."
"The bounty hunters, you sent them to stop the spread of a new virus we created!" Robert said, "you sent down scientists to save us and those not killed in the crash, we experimented on, if I were you I would wiped this earth clean! Why have you not?"
"It is not our way, we could not even warn your people, so we had to wait and work in secret, to help most of your people cannot handle truth."
"I really hate my birth father and his family right now." Robert said.
He was stunned, hurt that things were this way. He had grown up believing it was the aliens who were bad, that they were the ones who wanted to control humanity and to enslave them. He was showed the proof, he saw the purity and saw the cure. He saw how though these aliens were shape-shifters they were not bad people at all. Humanity in this case was in the wrong and he was not sure how to deal with that fall out. Who could he tell? He realized he was crying and put a hand to his face to wipe away the tears. No one here thought anything less of him for doing this, for they had done the same thing. Now the question was, what was next?

Oh yes a big twist. But who would really be the enemy of humanity? Would not it be ourselves?
Anyway, Do review.
