"Susanna Alexandria Mulder!" Dana Scully called up the stairs to her 16
year-old daughter. When the X-Files where closed in the spring of 2002,
agent Fox Mulder, and agent Dana Scully left the project disapointed that
it was over, but happy that they were together. They were married on August
31, and their daughter was born on May 31. (You know, I could let them have
a normal life together…. But nah… it's no fun that way.) While in Italy, a
pregnant Scully was abducted (I told you I couldn't let them be) and
returned without knowing she was even abducted. What's the result of that
abduction? A human female with the understanding of all historical events,
every organism on the planet, and a ton of other information only those of
a higher intelligence level could comprehend. Susanna, Sooz, as she liked
to be called. Insisted upon working on a newly re-opened X-Files. Her
mother had other ideas, and decided to keep Sooz in school and train new
agents. Sooz's father jumped at the chance of working on the X-Files.
"Let me guess, A.D Skinner called and told you that I blew the cover on the Kennedy murder." Sooz said jumping off the stairs.
"Yes, you need to stop doing that. The government, although they are wrong to do this, needs the trust of the people."
"And that's why taxes were invented, to earn the trust of the people. Face it mom, it doesn't matter how much I know, nobody cares, and those that do, don't believe me anyway. Now if you will excuse me, it's that time of the month, I need to take care of things."
"Will you try to have them bring you back before school tomorrow?"
"Maybe, but the extra terrestrials wait for no one." With that Sooz bounced back up the stairs into a blinding white light."
After a few minutes of worrying, Scully relaxed and sat down on the couch to read the evening paper. The sound of the front door slamming startled her.
"Sooz? Scully?"
"I'm in here Mulder." A few seconds later Mulder entered the living room of their Georgetown home. He sat down beside his wife and kissed her cheek. "Where's Sooz?" He asked.
"Reporting to the higher power that gave her all the intelligence we didn't" Scully mused.
"Funny. You told her to be back for school tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, but Mulder, its not like she needs to go, she knows more than everyone on the planet combined."
"Listen to me Dana, we know that, everyone at the core of the former X- Files knows that, but the rest of the government doesn't know that, and we both know what they'd do to her." Mulder paused. "She's fluent in every language ever created, she knows how to build a nuclear weapon out of household products, and she has the ability to travel back and forth through time without leaving this couch. They'd use her to destroy the world, and I'm not about to sit around and watch that happen to my little girl, not after what they did to William." Mulder appeared as if he were about to cry.
"What happened to William was my fault, I never should have let him go. But you, you weren't there for me, and I couldn't handle it." Now both Mulder and Scully were wrapped in each other's arms crying.
