AN: We all know about my random updating habits. So yeah, new chapter guys!
And Girltype is BACK! I had to share that with someone * g*. Anyways, I
have an assignment for English and I've decided to go with an S/K alternate
AJBAC fic, which should be added any day now, while I procrastinate whether
I should delete 'Only Took A Minute' and 'Miss Freak Nation'. If you don't
want me to, let me know, cause I hope you'll review.
Love ya all, here's chapter.Four.
It's three in the morning and I've just gotten home. The light is on.damnit.
"Leea, where have you been?" Krit hisses at me, just as I close the door.
"I went to a party," I say, kicking off my shoes.
"Soldiers have been everywhere," Syl explains, "All over the news and Eyes Only. Manticore's been blown up. Recapturing and destroying prototypes. All they need to do is see you.they know what you look like."
I wish I could see what everyone else sees - I am Krit's younger female clone. I am Max's sister.
"So, what you thought I had been recaptured? I have years of training on you both!" I yelled. "I can protect myself!"
I stormed upstairs, to my room and changed for bed, furious with both of them. No concern or anything. I am perfectly responsible. I got that trait from years of being SIC, from Zero and from 494.
"Hey," Krit appears in the doorway. "Look, what's wrong? I've never known you to lose your temper, Lee. I mean, I have a nasty temper and so does Max. As any of my sibs. I was kinda hoping you didn't inherit that part of my nature."
"You've known me just over a month, Krit, you don't know everything about me." I snapped. He looked hurt. I gave him a ghost of a smile. "Comes from being your clone I guess."
"Not my clone, Lee. I mean, that sounds so.Manticore-like. You're my baby sister. My real one. I mean, Max and I are genetically related, but not technically brother and sister. I was lucky enough to get a real live baby sister and.I thought maybe you'd gone after the soldiers to find Zero or someone," he shrugged.
I shook my head. "Nah. I just stayed close to the ground - stayed in the suburban area, not to get noticed."
Krit nodded, and I sat up. He hugged me suddenly, something he hasn't ever done. I grin. "Thanks big brother."
"Come downstairs - Zack just arrived."
We both go into the kitchen, where Zack is. I grab some cold Chinese and sit down.
"Krit, Leea," he nods. "Guess you've heard?"
We all nod. "Not the details, though," I say.
"Max and I torched Manticore. Got the transgenics out of that hell," Zack frowned. "We found.a clone. Of Ben."
Syl and Krit exchanged glances. "Is he.?"
"Sane. Completely. Smart assed moron. Max named him Alec."
Ben. Sounded familiar. "What was Ben's designation?" I asked, reaching for my drink.
"X5-493. Alec's is X5-494." I didn't hear the rest before I felt like I had been slapped. My drink fell to the floor. "494."
"Leea?" Krit stood up and grabbed my shoulders. "Leea?" He lead me to a chair. "Syl, get the trytrophan - I think she's going to have a seizure." I had only had one other seizure since I'd been free.oh, god 494.
I must've had the seizure then, because I woke up to Zack saying ".weird. Alec had a weird response to Max. He called her names and told her it was about time she got him out."
"Huh?" I said, as Syl helped me stand.
"Leea, I need you to tell me everything you know about Alec AKA X5-494," Zack said as if I was a child.
//I lay in my cot, in the psy-ops area, cold as hell. Apparently, according to the nurses, the cold air made us sleep lightly and that somehow helped the reprogramming process. It was minus 20 degrees in here, and all I was wearing was a hospital gown.
"Leea," came a whisper. I rolled over and 494 was there.
I wriggled over and he crawled in with me. He added his pillow and blanket to the bed and we both managed to doze for a couple of hours.
I felt the pain in my neck worsen. I wasn't sure where I was or anything.
"State your designation."
"X6-711."
"X6-711."
"X6-711."
I changed into my fatigues and was about to return to the barracks, with Zero and the others. 494 came over.
"I'll see you around the barracks, Leea," he said. "When I get out."
I looked at him sharply. "I am X6-711. Good bye, X5-494."//
"He was my best friend," I said. "I left him behind."
"No," Syl said. "You were brainwashed. I'm sure now."
Neither of us were romantic, really. I mean, I'm 15 and Alec must be in his 20s - 23? We comforted each other. Then I gave it.
"We leave tomorrow," Zack said. "7 am. I need you all in Seattle. Leea, you might have some control over your unit."
I nodded and stood up. "I'm going to bed," I announced and went to my room.
AN: Review, pretty pretty please.
