"Government Involvement"
Chapter 06: Rescues R' Us
Summary: Dark Angel/Alias Crossover
Dark Angel storyline: Mid Second-season, somewhere around "Love in Vein" - Max burnt down Manticore and freed all the transgenics, including the extremely-hot-yet- playfully-annoying Alec (*sigh*). The virus is in effect, but it's really not relevant to this storyline.
Alias storyline: Mid second-season as well, after "Salvation." Although Irina Derevko probably won't play into the story that much. Sark hasn't come to work for SD-6 yet, though he may enter the storyline later ;)
Alterations.. The year is 2002 (Just pretend Dark Angel was set in that year). The pulse still happened, though the only place that was really affected was Washington: especially Seattle. Seattle is still like a third-world- country, sort of excluded from the rest of the U.S.
Enjoy the story, and DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!!!!

Next Chapter: Not a clue when it will be up!! Within the next few weeks, definitely. But I'm not sure how soon, since I just did three chapters in a matter of two days!! :-D
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Alec checked his watch. Midnight. Time to roll.
After adjusting his I.D. badge, he climbed out of Logan's SUV and walked toward the entrance of Credit Dauphine, less commonly known as SD-6. He swiped the card Logan had given to him and punched in a few numbers. The small light flashed green, and the doors opened to let him through.
Alec rode the elevator to his destinated floor and exited the contraption. He didn't expect to run into very many people; seeing as he doubted anyone would be around this late at night.
As he walked down a short hall, he was approached by a man who was obviously on his way out.
"Working late?" the man asked him with a friendly grin. The man sported an ID badge reading the name 'Marcus Dixon.'
"Just forgot my briefcase," Alec replied with a fake smile, motioning toward the room in front of him. "Why are you still here?"
"Sloane had me doing some research on the girl we captured today," Dixon explained. "It took a lot longer than I expected." He yawned. "Luckily tomorrow is my day off."
Alec nodded. "I guess I'll see you around then," he said. With that, Dixon nodded, a grin still on his face, and proceeded out the door.
As soon as he was gone, Alec made his way to Marshall Flinkman's office. He entered and began searching Flinkman's desk. He soon found what he was looking for.
He pulled out an envelope and opened it to reveal a piece of paper. The paper read:
"There are two men guarding Max in room 293. There's another door in that room that leads to where they're holding her. The ID card I gave you was programmed not to record into the SD-6 log-in server, so they won't know you were ever here."
Alec smiled. "Time to kick some ass," he said aloud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Everybody ready?" Sydney asked as she pulled on her black stocking cap. She, Jack Bristow, Michael Vaughn, and Eric Weiss were in a parking lot a few blocks from the Credit Dauphine building, getting ready to climb into a van and go rescue Max.
"Wait, can you guys explain the plan again?" Agent Weiss asked from his position of leaning against the van. "I want to make sure I know what I'm doing."
Jack rolled his eyes. "Again? We've gone over this several times, Weiss," he replied, his tone slightly annoyed.
"Give me a break; you organized this bust in less than an hour. Unlike all of you, I'm not some super-agent who is completely ready for this field- mission thing," he answered sarcastically.
Sydney and Vaughn exchanged a small smile.
"Okay, one more time, this is what's going to happen," Sydney began. "You and Vaughn will be going into the building. My dad and I can't in case we're seen by the security cameras, we risk exposure. You two will use this," she paused to pass a code un-scrambler to him, "to break in undetected. From there you'll have to take out two guards with tasers, then set Max free. You'll have to bring back down to where dad and I will be waiting with the van."
She stopped and looked around at the other three. "Everyone got it?"
Vaughn turned to her. "What if this girl puts up of a fight? If she really IS a genetically enhanced soldier; she could easily take me and Weiss out."
"That's why you have this," Jack stepped in to hand Vaughn a taser gun. "The girl's already been knocked out once today, I'm sure she won't mind one more time."
Sydney couldn't help but laugh. "All right guys, let's go," she said and they all then proceeded to pile in the van; Jack driving with Syd in the passenger seat, and Vaughn and Weiss getting their gear ready in the back.
After everyone was situated, Jack started the car and sped off toward Credit Dauphine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max sighed. She'd been sitting chained to her chair for two hours and 23 minutes, according to her genetic abilities. She had discovered that if she used her enhanced eye vision, she could see through the red mirror and into the room where they were watching her.
There were only two men in the room, and they sure didn't seem to be having any more fun than she was. One man yawned, as the other took a sip of coffee.
'How exciting,' Max thought to herself with an internal eye roll. She tugged on her handcuffs; knowing she wouldn't be able to break them. Even if she did, the guys in the room next to her would see and alert the security to come in and drug her up again.
Max contemplated whether it'd be worth it to try and escape now, or if she should wait until she had a better shot. Before she could make a decision, the door to her cell burst open and in walked, none other than, Alec.
"Happy to see me?" he asked with a smug grin on his face as he made his way over to her.
"For once, I can actually answer that question with a 'yes,'" she said lightly as he used his lock-pick to free her of the hand-cuffs.
"Aw Max, come on: you can't even be nice to me when I'm saving your life?" Alec asked with a mock pout.
Max rolled her eyes. "I would go that far," she said. "But let's get out of here before they realize that you're here, and I'm not."
Alec stood up and they quickly left the room. Passing through the security room, Max smiled at the two unconscious guards.
"Nice work," she commented to Alec with a grin.
He nodded. "I do what I can," he joked.
The two x-5's bolted down the hallways until they found the fire escape. After rushing down the stairs, Alec used his ID card to get them out of the building.
As the automatic doors opened, Max and Alec stepped into the parking garage, only to find themselves face-to-face with a security team of six men.
"Not so fast," the one standing in front, holding a gun, said as the doors slid shut behind the two.
"We radioed the two agents in the security room to check up on you," he pointed his gun toward Max. "Suspiciously enough, they didn't respond." He paused to look directly into Alec's eyes. "Now we know why."
Max looked at the group in front of them. There were six men, and only two of them were armed, at least as far as she could tell.
Another man stepped forward. "Turn around and drop to your knees," he commanded forcefully.
Max and Alec exchanged a hesitant look, then tentatively obeyed.
"Hands on your head," the same man commanded as he brought out a pair of handcuffs. Once again, Max and Alec slowly obeyed.
The man stepped closer to Max. As soon as he reached up to clamp the handcuffs around Max's wrists, she spun around and punched him in the stomach.
Simultaneously, Alec jumped up and spun around to kick the gun out of the first man's hands. Max jumped to her feet and took her guy out with a clean punch to the face.
"Hold it right there!" the other armed agent brought his gun up to point it at Max and Alec.
Max rolled her eyes. "Yeah, like that's going to do a whole lot of good," she said sarcastically before kicking the gun out of his arms and into the air. She caught it with ease and had it disarmed in 2.5 seconds.
The five remaining men suddenly tensed up, preparing themselves for a fight.
"Now, this is the part where you guys attack us, and we take out you anonymous henchmen one by one," Alec explained sarcastically. As soon as he said this, the five men came rushing at the two of them.
Alec elbowed one guy in the stomach before kicking another in the chest. He then grabbed their heads and smashed them together, knocking them both out.
Alec grinned smugly at their unconscious bodies. "That's one of my favorite moves," he said to no one in particular.
Meanwhile, Max kicked a guy in the chest, sending him flying into a nearby wall. She then jumped up and performed a spin-kick to knock out another man.
"Three down, two to go," she said with confidence, the adrenaline from the fight getting her pumped up.
The man she had sent into the wall was back, ready for some more ass- kicking. She smiled at him, before giving him an uppercut to the jaw and a left jab to his side.
While Max toyed with her last victim, Alec sent two punches into an agent's stomach and another to the face. One kick later, and the man was out. As the guy slumped to the floor unconscious, Alec turned just in time to see Max take out the last agent with a powerful punch.
Max dusted off her hands and looked at the unconscious men on the ground. "Well that was fun," Max said.
Alec smiled at her. "Too bad they didn't even put up a fight," he complained.
Max and Alec were too busy celebrating to see one of the agents stand up and point a gun at them. Too busy in fact, to notice a large black van pull up behind them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the air. Max and Alec whipped around to see the agent slump back to the floor, blood splattered around his arm. A couple hundred feet away stood a black van with the door open, and a man was standing outside of it, the gun still pointed in this direction. He quickly jumped back in the van, the door still wide open.
As soon as Max saw the two people sitting in the front seat, she groaned. "Great, it's Sydney and her pal, Jack," She complained as the van drove a short distance to pull up beside them.
After seeing Alec's puzzled look, she explained. "They work for SD-6; they're two of the people who brought me here."
"Come on!" the Jack called to them from the drivers' seat. "We're here to help you escape."
"We don't NEED your help," Alec said. "But thanks for the offer."
"You do if you want to get out of her alive," Sydney joined in, her voice slightly panicked. "You have to come with us. NOW. Back-up will be here any minute, and they're starting to seal the perimeter. If you want to get of here alive, you'll come with us."
Alec and Max looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe them or not. Suddenly an alarm began sounding, and red lights began to flash.
Sydney and the man in the back of the van both grabbed their ears, startled by the sudden noise.
"See, they know you've escaped," Jack. "We have to go," he repeated.
"Fine, but no guns," Max said as she grabbed the gun from the man in the back and tossed it to the floor.
The guy shrugged. "Fair deal."
With that, the pair of x-5's jumped gracefully into the van. As soon as the door was slammed shut, the van sped off, away from the building.
"So who's the rest of the gang?" Alec asked as the van barreled out of the Credit Dauphine parking garage and onto the street.
"I'm Vaughn," the man who earlier held the gun introduced himself. He motioned to another man sitting in the van, furiously typing on a laptop. "And that's Weiss."
Agent Weiss, wearing a headset, paused a moment to smile at the two genetically enhanced soldiers. "How ya doin?" he said as a greeting, then went back to furiously typing. Unbeknownst to the x-5's, he was alerting CIA headquarters that they had completed the mission and were on their way back.
"That's great, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure, blah blah blah," Max said sarcastically. "You guys can let us out now." She was growing impatient, and wanted to get as far away from Sydney and Jack as possible; she didn't trust them at all.
"I'm afraid that's not going to happen," Jack said from the front seat.
"It will if I have anything to say about it," Alec refuted as he reached for the handle to the door of the van.
Vaughn reached over to block his arm. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," he threatened, motioning towards the window. The van was pulling about 90 mph down the empty streets; objects were whirling by, barely recognizable.
Max shrugged. "We'll take our chances," she replied.
Jack then slammed on the breaks, causing the van to screech to an aggressive stop, and for everyone to fly forward.
"You aren't going anywhere, but with us," Jack said.
He then turned around in his seat to face Max and Alec. Without warning, he brought out his taser gun and fired two shots at the x-5's. Max was hit in the arm, and Alec in the chest.
After a few seconds of violent shaking, the two slumped to the floor of the van, unconscious.
