Title: The Early Escape
By: messymissy
Notes: As you all have probably all guessed, Thompson was Zack's new last name that he got in the show. I'm using the other X-5's that I know the names and maybe numbers of from the '09 escape, keeping the 12 as the number of X-5's in the unit even though I know that there were some who didn't escape or were killed just to make things easier to keep track of, made up the X-5's parents' names and some of the X-5's names, and instead of having more transgenic groups, I've decided to make this fic have only this X-5 group instead of more.

Silence filled the car.
After about five minutes Rick asked, "Well, aren't you going to answer our questions and tell us what we're going to have to go through with to get our daughter back?"
"Of course," Drake replied. "I was just giving you time to think things over before I told you anything. So what do you want to know?"
"When we were talking by the bench, you mentioned something about 'our secret place' and when you asked us if we wanted our baby back, you also said 'also' so that kind of made me suspect that there are others like us. Others that have had their children taken away from them by Manticore and want them back. Is this true? Because when we were their I always thought that their were more babies because of the way they talked while they thought I wasn't listening," said Lily.
"You're right. There are others who want their child back, and I'm one of them. My wife and I are the parents of the oldest child there. They called him 599. They called your daughter 452 right?"
"Yes, they did," replied Lily.
"They had numbers? Why didn't you tell me Lily?" asked Rick.
"I..I just forgot. I was just so distressed about them taking her away that I didn't tell you. I didn't think it would matter. To think, our child has to be just a string of numbers! They don't care about her or the other!"
"I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to upset you. I understand, it's horrible thinking that children are just referred to as numbers there."
"Yes it is," replied Drake sadly. "The people who I was referring to before are most of the X-5's parents. Most of them were taken away from parents who really wanted them and loved them while a pair of twins were just given to the people at Manticore by their uncaring parents."
"That's horrible!" cried Lily. "I can't believe that they willing to gave their child to Manticore for those scientists to experiment on!"
"Mr. Thompson, you said that there are a bunch of parents at the secret location you were talking about, but I don't see how that's going to help get our children back and you haven't told us what we are suppose to do either. By the way, why did you call the kids X-5's?"
"Mr. Guevara, just call me Drake. I haven't explained to you what we are going to do because I've been answering your questions and giving you all the other information that you want to know first. After I answer them, then I'll tell you so you can pick if you want to do it or not, but from what I can tell to far, you sound ready to do anything to get your daughter back. And to answer your question about calling the kids X-5's, it's just what they call them there so we decided to call the whole group that because even though they are our children, they're different than normal children and as much as we hate to say it, it's what they are."
"Oh, so that's what they are, huh?" said Rick understandingly. "They have to be something don't they?" he smiled sadly. "X-5's. At least they weren't named something like The Human Monster." Lily shuddered. "By the way, you can call us by our first names too, Drake."
"Okay, any more questions?"
"Yes. This has been bothering me for a long time now," said Rick. "Why did the nurse help us? Isn't she suppose to be on their side? Who is she?"
"She told us that you might ask about her. You already know that her name is May Rolland, right?" Drake asked. They nodded. "Well, she just so happens to be my wife's sister. She was a nurse too before she went to work at Manticore and the only reason she wanted to take the job there was to help us get our boy back after they took him from us. She worked there to find out more about Manticore and what they are doing there, and to watch him for us. She told us that we couldn't get him back by ourselves even with her help because there were soldiers all around Manticore guarding it from strangers and to keep their prisonors in. We realized that it would be too dangerous for him and us if we tried to get him out so May stayed there with him ever since. Not long after she started to work there, she discovered that we weren't the only people that they were taking babies from. She learned that for what they were doing they needed babies that were still in the mother's womb and it was so hard to get willing mothers that they had to kidnap them. So the result of that would be a bunch of broken-hearted parents. That was when she came up with the idea of getting all of the parents who want their children back to team up with each other after they leave Manticore to devise a plan to get them out and to stop Manticore from hurting any more families and experimenting on any more children. She's been working undercover there to get information for us ever since. We have been gathering parents and working on the plan for nearly three years now and now that we know that your child is the last one they are going to take for now, all we had to do was wait for you to come so we can finish up our plan and train you for the attack on Manticore. Now all we need to know is do you want to be involved in this and that you realize that if you do go through with this it's going to be hard and dangerous."
Lily and Rick looked at each other for a minute. Then Rick answered for them determinedly, "We'll do whatever it takes to stop Manticore and help get all of our children back no matter what the risks are."
"Glad to hear that. We all thought so from what May told us, but we had to make sure you understood the danger in what we're going to do." While he was saying this, Drake turned off the road into a forest. "We're almost there. You'll get more details on what we're going to do when we reach our designation. You'll get a room all to yourself for living and if you want to help plan things or do anything, you can, and you're going to need to learn how to use some equipment, weapons, and some fighting skills just in case. It's for your own safety when we take Manticore down. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of people to help you. We're all still practicing and working on things," he said with a reassuring smile towards them.
Just then Drake stopped the car. They were in a cleared-out section deep inside a forest. In the middle of the spacious area was a one-story, fairly large in length and width cabin.
They got out of the car and walked towards the cabin. When they reached the door Drake said, "Welcome to our base," and opened the door.

Did this turn out okay? I hope it wasn't confusing or very boring. I hope that this was enjoyable to you!
