Summery: Alec developes a maternal relationship with someone new
Author note: Guess I should point out that this is before everyone found
out about the transgenics. (And I know in the show there were no more
seizures. But hey, where's the fun in that.)
I suck as grammar and tenses so don't yell at me, if you're smart enough
to notice my problems your smart enough to figure out what I meant. =)
Gotta thank my new beta reader Whisper =) couldn't fix nearly as many
tenses without ya.

last time "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." He offered.
"Sure I would, why wouldn't I believe what you say? Have you given me any reason to doubt you?" she asked.
"No." he replied.
"Then tell me."

He couldn't help but laugh. 'Even if she trusts me she's still never gonna believe me.it sounds completely insane.what the hell though, right?' "Ok what do you know about genetic engineering?"
"Um.. next to nothing," she proclaimed.
"Ok then, let's just say I'm the product of that branch of the government, a science experiment,." she appeared confused, "A super soldier, genetically designed for speed, strength, agility, and to kill. The seizures are just one of the things they managed to royally screw up."
"Well.that umm.it sounds.." Her brow creased with concentration, and she gazed down at him, "then why are you here? I mean how did you end up here?"
"I just told you, I'm not even human..and you ask how I ended up here.," her only response was a glare that simply said, 'Just answer the question already'.
"Ok, ok" borrowing one of Max's sayings "Lets just say about 4 months ago the circus burned down and the freaks got out."
"Freaks? As in more of you? More like you?" So many questions, all coming too fast to ask them all.
"Some.. some not so much. Are you ok with this?" She couldn't help the hurt little boy face that appeared almost pleading with her to just accept him.
"Yes, I'm ok with this." They stayed that way a little longer in silence until Alec felt strong enough to try to move his bed. She helped him stand up and supported some of his weight as they moved. As soon as he laid down in his bed another question popped into her head. "You said earlier that you were a science experiment, does that mean they experimented on you?"
He turned to face her, tired from his earlier ordeal, "It was Manticore, they did what they wanted." He returned to his previous position. Facing the wall curled up tightly as if letting go would cause him more pain. Jen slowly stood up and turned to leave, only to feel his hand on her wrist.
"I'll stay with you 'til you fall asleep. Don't worry," she said feeling him tighten his grip, "You don't think I'd leave you here alone did you? I'll bunk down on the sofa. Just rest ok?" She placed a soft kiss on his forehead as she would her own son, then held his hand until he fell asleep.

Later that night
Unable to sleep, Jen searched Alec's kitchen for any sign of healthy food. With none in sight, she went for the chicken she'd brought over for dinner. After warming it up it tasted wonderful. She was careful to leave enough for Alec, knowing he'd probably be hungry when he finally woke up.
She finally settled on the surprisingly soft sofa, with and began reading the oddly out of place book, titled 'The Darwin awards 10th edition'. 'Ha I remember reading the first one.'
She stayed at his house, reading for almost an hour before, a whimper caught her attention. 'Alec', she walked across the small apartment and into the bedroom where Alec slept. She could see him even in this dark, tossing and turning lightly. 'Must be a nightmare' she thought. She gently touched him shoulder trying to bring him out of it. Shaking him lightly "Alec, come on sweetie wake up." It wasn't more then a second later that his eyes flew open and he sat up straight in his bed.
"Hey, you ok? Nightmare?" He could only nod, his eyes still wide with fear. "Do you want to talk about it?" Still unable to speak he managed to vigorously shake his head no. "Are you hungry? Because I brought that chicken over earlier. I'd hate for it go to waste." Her smile freed him from his nightmare trance.
"Yeah I'd like that."
He sat at the table silently. Watching Jen as she heated up his food, and brought it to him. Before he managed to eat his first bit he said, "Thanks..thanks for taking care of me." He flashed her one of his rare, true smiles.
