With strawberries on top? (can you tell I have a strawberry fetish? Love them strawberries!!!!)
AaN: Okay, once you read this you'll think it's VERY similar to other stories, but I assure you, this has been written for MONTHS!! I'm just NOW putting it up because I got the guts to do it, but I've had this story going since the mommy came back so don't think I'm copying anything. I like to say that ALL GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE, but I don't think I'm THAT great like everyone out there so I kind of take that with a grain of salt. But you'll understand all of what I just explained when you get finished with this chapter.

The next day after Irina found out Sloane was looking into her family and going after them she headed into a session of regression therapy to try to remember her past. And in doing that, try to protect a family she has no recollection of.
Sydney and Jack watched on in the observation room as the doctor spoke calmly to Irina. And over the next hour, Irina's past came spilling out. She did have a little sister named Yelena. They are 1 year apart. She spoke about her father being an important figure in Russia..and VERY tall. And taking after him obviously, she was much taller for her age as a little girl, always getting people confused on how old she was. She remembered the day that tore her family apart.
Someone murdered her father right in front of her. When she ran to find her mother and little sister, their home was set aflame, her father's body inside. Her mother came rushing from the pastures, running into the house to find her loving husband. After waiting for hours screaming and crying for her mother to come out, Irina finally just started to walk away..in a shock state, never knowing where her sister had ended up. She believed back then that she probably died in the fire, but now looking at the memory, she knew her mother probably sent her away the second she saw trouble. For her protection.
Being high profile, their parents had always taught them to run when told to, never looking back. They thought it was a 'game' when it was to save their lives. It's probably the only reason she and her sister were alive now.
Irina ended up traveling for days on end, sometimes walking, sometimes secretly hiding in a sheep truck or a train cart, all in a complete catatonic state.
That's how she ended up on that street that day the school boy found her, hungry, exhausted, and all alone.
The doctor woke her up slowly and both Jack and Sydney went in to be with her. Sydney gave her a handkerchief from Jack to wipe off her tear filled face.
"Wow...I NEVER knew!?..I had no idea that was all hidden inside my head! I have a sister..out there somewhere!" Irina said in a hushed voice.
"And you might be younger than they actually thought..just tall for your age back then." Sydney mentioned, eyeing her mom to be sure she was okay.
"Not too many people get to SUBTRACT candles form their cakes, you know." Jack said, smirking. Irina giggled at that.
"Now we'll search harder..especially since you remembered your last name, Serapion, or what you believe it is." Jack said. Irina nodded squeezing Sydney's hand.
She and Sydney went about there little walk then, this time around the inside of the building's halls since it was pouring down rain. Jack was with them also, and two armed guards. But it was easily visible it was for no good reason, Kendall instantly noticed. Sydney and Irina were so engrossed with each other with Jack just off their shoulders, that Jesus himself could of walked by and tripped on his own sandal and none would be the wiser. Well...maybe Jack.{"hey, isn't that.."Jack would murmur, squinting as they passed out of sight.}
Kendall motioned to Vaughn.
"Tell the two guards to stand down." He mentioned softly. Vaughn looked takenaback a moment, then seemed to understand. He quietly went up to the guards as they slowly followed the 'prisoner' and called them off. Jack, Sydney, and Irina continued their leisurely stroll around the JTF halls, Irina pouring out her past now that the walls were knocked down. She just kept remembering little details of things that connected to quirks and habits that she would do in present time.
By lunchtime, Irina finally realized she wasn't guarded. It had been almost 2 hours.
"Where's the officers? Randi and Leon?" Irina asked, knowing them by name. Syd looked around the main room and spotted them sitting with Vaughn at his desk...reading the paper. Sports and comics to be exact.
"Ms. Derevko, it's come to my knowledge that..well, you don't need these guys anymore. We're cutting them loose, so to speak. Only when you go up on the roof we'll have 2 there, but anywhere around here..we'll just keep an eye on you ourselves. Oh..and get a good look at your cell." Kendall said smirking as Irina narrowed her eyes at him at the ironic statement.
"We're in the works to get you a .better place to be held." Kendall finished. Irina was truly awestruck. She got slightly teary eyed.
"Thank you." She said quietly, smiling at him.
"You're welcome." Kendall replied back. You jut plain respected the woman; that's what it boiled down to.
The search went out instantly for her sister. The mission was the next priority for Sydney, two days later they were on their way to Russia. The were to infiltrate this club, Sydney and Vaughn as a couple along with 2 other agents posing as a couple, friends of Sydney and Vaughn. They were Agents Jovana Becker and Raul Jacobson.
In the girls' hotel room preparing for the mission, Jovana answered Syd's cell since she was showering.
"Becker here?..she's in the shower..uh-huh..okay, I'll retrieve it for her. Thanks." She said hanging up. She poked her head in the bathroom door and yelled to Sydney.
"Syd! You got a package faxed from HQ. I'm gonna go down and get it from the front desk." Jovana yelled.
"K! Thanks Jo-vees!" Sydney yelled back, setting off a whirlwind of thoughts on what it could be that was so urgent they had to send it to her while she was in the middle of a mission.
She got her answer 30 minutes later when she finally was dressed to read them.
"They found her! My mother's sister! My AUNT!" Sydney exclaimed bewildered. Vaughn and Raul were there, along with Jack and Eric who were along to work in the van.
"Where?" Jack asked coming up to his daughter.
"Here! I mean, in Russia..but on the other side. Like..8 hours from here...she's in a small town...married..and she has a daughter! Lena! She's apparently part of a popular duo group that sings here! Well, in Moscow, but they believe that Yelena and her family are in danger already. Sloane could already know about them." Sydney explained hurriedly.
"They said for Vaughn and my dad to go to them now...meet 2 more agents at the meet point and bring them to the JTF..they'll be put under protection." Sydney read as she passed out the paper work to Vaughn and her father.
"Here's all the tickets and info..go!" Sydney stated, feeling the need for them to be gone already. They didn't take long to get out of there.
Syd's new date? Enter Eric.
"This has GOT to be the best day of my life." Eric said when he saw the clingy outfit Sydney wore when they gathered up to head to the club front.
"You nervous or something Syd?" Jovana asked, seeing Sydney pacing.
"I don't know. There's something about this place...I have this,.vibe or something. We're going to be her awhile..getting 'acquainted' with this place. Hopefully I'll figure it out by then." Sydney said as they headed out the door.
They easily got into the club, Eric loving his whole part in being the 'date'. As the two couples split and made their way around the room, Sydney felt an odd pull to go to the bar.
As soon as she got there, her and the bartender locked eyes.
It was like looking into the eyes of that one best friend that you have known you're entire life, since you were 'crib babies', and never went more than a days span apart. It shocked the both of them to the core. Sydney blinked away her shock when the bartender spoke to her.
"Hi. You're a new face to my little hole in the wall. Welcome, can I get you a drink?" the young women asked. Sydney blinked again and returned the grin that so easily matched hers.
"Yeah..nice place here. " Sydney started and for the life of her, she couldn't leave the bar all night. The two young women talked...ALL night long. Eric, her 'date' tried to get her to dance at least once, but since she was getting in close with the OWNER of the place so easily, who was he to jeopardize that.
Jovana and Raul got close to some regulars while Eric got bits of information by talking to any regular 'chick' he could. And a few bouncers to, even when he WASn't aiming to.
By 2 am, a slightly drunk Eric sat a table with Jovana and Raul. And Sydney, who was now sitting in a corner table, still talking away with the owner, who said her name was Anne. Her and Callie (Syd) had been talking all night about their lives, life in general, anything. Sydney could easily spill the truth..to a point, about herself. And found a LOT of similarities with Anne. Eric was leaning on Raul, squinting at the two of them before he spoke.
"My gosh!.they look like twins or something!? 'Cept for the different eye color...the dimples, mannerisms, face gestures...DIMPLES! All the same!" Eric said slurring. Jovana nodded at that.
"So, we BOTH lost our moms tragically at a young age. Yours died in a car accident?" Anne asked Sydney.
"My father almost with her. I was 6 years old." Sydney said.
"I was 6 when mine died too. We were in trouble or something I guess. I don't remember but apparently whoever was after her started shooting...I got hit..she got hit...I survived BARELY...she didn't." Anne explained, self consciously touching her stomach.
"Some..BAD people were after your mom? Who, the mob or something?" Sydney said, playing along someone naïve.
"Yeah..something like that." Anne said, getting quiet.
"My mom..the 'Great Irina' they used to call her...they STILL do when they come here. But they never tell me what she did to deserve such a title." Anne said off handedly. She looked up at Sydney and startled at Syd's froze/shocked face.
"W-what did you say?! WHAT'S you mother's name?" Sydney said loudly.
"Irina." Anne said slowly, her face looking at Sydney curiously.
"Callie..what is it? Did you know who my mom was?" Anne asked, getting a little girl voice suddenly. Sydney glared her down.
"Anne...HOW old are? Exactly...You're not 23 like you said, are you?!" Sydney asked, warningly. Anne's eyes bulged then she looked down.
"No...I'm almost 21." She said softly.
"oh my..oh my..oh...this CAN'T be true!? She.she.would have SAID something! But look at you! You're a spitting image of BOTH of them! You've got HIS eyes even!" Sydney said loudly to herself.
"WHAT!? What's going on here? What are you TALKING about? Who's 'he'?" Anne said, getting upset at this person she just met accusations.
"What happened to your father?" Sydney tested.
"My mother always told me that he was a wonderful, loving, caring man. But that he was gone. That's all she'd say. I just figured he had died or something." Anne explained quickly.
"Ohhh..I NEED to speak to that woman...listen..are you going to be here tomorrow?" Sydney asked, holding on to her girl's hands.
"uh, no..I'm leaving. My employers are back after their long leave and told me it's urgent to leave with them tomorrow." Anne said, relaying what she'd just been told that morning.
"But the KGB's crumbled!" Eric sputtered out. Anne's head whipped around and she gasped. She jumped up from her seat taking cautious steps back.
"HOW do you know who they are?! Who ARE you people?!" she said desperately, her eyes scared. Sydney glared at Eric then stood to try to calm the girl.
"Listen...we're not here to hurt you. We're here to help. We know about the KGB.who they WERE. You're employer/partners..they toppled a few months back. Whoever spoke to you about this urgent matter..they're trying to hurt you. Possibly kill you if they've put together who I think you might be." Sydney explained calmly, the pieces clicking together.
"Who's that?! And who ARE you? Answer THAT one for me, I think you own me that much!" Anne said. Sydney breathed out.
"My name's Sydney. That's Eric, Jovana, and Raul. We work for the CIA. We're her to infiltrate this club..is this a front for the KGB?" Sydney asked, knowing the truth.
"They only use my club to conduct their meetings. They're business people..I'm not sure what kind, they don't share that. I just do my job so they can do theirs and they help keep this place open." Anne said. Sydney nodded, relieved that she didn't know. And that she wasn't a part of it all.
"And..and your name.it's not Anne, is it?" Sydney asked softly. Anne looked down again.
"Only here. Everywhere else..it's Sytory. Sytory Anja Derevko- Bristow." She said softly.
Well that sealed it. Sydney's eyes watered. Eric bout fell out of his chair and Jovana and Raul gaped wide-eyed.
"Oh my gosh." Sydney mumbled.
"My..my mother's name..is Irina Derevko." Sydney whispered.
"WHAT?!" Sytory yelped.
"My mom...well, at the time she was Laura BRISTOW...we didn't know she was a KGB agent sent to infiltrate the CIA. She seduced Jack Bristow a CIA agent. They fell in love, married, and had a daughter. Me. When I was 6 years old my mom supposedly 'died' in the car accident..that I told you about. Only, come to find out, she was a KGB agent..Irina Derevko." Sydney quickly explained.
"I'm 26. Twenty years ago she 'left' us. Me and my father, faking her death in the car accident." Sydney finished rushing out. Sytory sat stunned.
"We're..we're sisters?!" Sytory whispered out. Sydney could only nod over and over again.
"I- I think so. Boy, we need to talk to my mom...OUR mom, apparently!" Sydney said to Jovana and Raul.
"That's impossible! She's dead!" Sytory answered back confused. Sydney froze, covering her mouth. She saw that Sytory was completely serious. She had no idea. Sydney just slowly began to shake her head.
"No..no she's NOT. She's alive! She's back in LA..California, under US custody. She turned herself in a few months ago. But she's VERY much alive!" Sydney said adamantly. Sytory got teary eyed; covering her mouth just like Sydney did when she became upset.
"Mamashka?! She's...alive?! They told me she DIED! This WHOLE time..she's been alive!? Why didn't she try to FIND me? I was soo messed up! I nearly died myself! I had so many surgeries and all the physical therapy I went through! Why didn't she find my then?! I was in so much pain!" Sytory sobbed out, remembering her dark past. Sydney finally pulled who was probably her little sister into her arms and consoled her.
"We're gonna find out. I promise. Now, you're coming with us. Pack a bag, get whatever you HAVE to have. You might be in danger." Syd said.
{A little while later}
"So..the KGB..they're the ones responsible for what happened to me when I was 6?" Sytory asked that afternoon, after they brought her back tot he hotel, got some sleep, and now were heading to the airport to catch their flight home.
"Yes. That's who Irina worked for. Since she was a teenager." Sydney said, the two girls hands clasped together. Just then Eric came up with an update on Vaughn and Jack's progress. His face looked grim.
"What is it? Is my father and Vaughn okay?" Sydney asked worriedly when she saw his face.
{#}
An: There, another little cliffy! Do you like where I'm going with this? I hope it all makes sense and fits in. Just keep in mind this is an AU and it should all work out. Also, in reference to the name Sytory, I know it's familiar to another story's title, but this is a name my sis has had for years since an old show called 'The Others' where a girl there's name was called Satori. I just changed the spelling and used it, from her suggestion. It fits well with Sydney and I like it, so no copying here!! Just a common name! Please review and tell me what you think about the past that I made up!! Or just say hi or something, anything, PLEASE!!!!???? Thanx!
An: Thanks sooo much for those of you who reviewed! They totally made my hellish week better what with all my finals and such. But guess what?.I'm going on vacation for Memorial Day with my family!! First time the whole families together in like 5 years or something!! Okay, here's an update for you, hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day and I'll get back to an update as soon as I get back!! Don't forget to review, pwetty pweeze?? With strawberries on top? (can you tell I have a strawberry fetish? Love them strawberries!!!!)
AaN: Okay, once you read this you'll think it's VERY similar to other stories, but I assure you, this has been written for MONTHS!! I'm just NOW putting it up because I got the guts to do it, but I've had this story going since the mommy came back so don't think I'm copying anything. I like to say that ALL GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE, but I don't think I'm THAT great like everyone out there so I kind of take that with a grain of salt.

"We're gonna find out. I promise. Now, you're coming with us. Pack a bag, get whatever you HAVE to have. You might be in danger." Syd said.
{A little while later}
"So..the KGB..they're the ones responsible for what happened to me when I was 6?" Sytory asked that afternoon, after they brought her back tot he hotel, got some sleep, and now were heading to the airport to catch their flight home.
"Yes. That's who Irina worked for. Since she was a teenager." Sydney said, the two girls hands clasped together. Just then Eric came up with an update on Vaughn and Jack's progress. His face looked grim.
"What is it? Is my father and Vaughn okay?" Sydney asked worriedly when she saw his face.

An: There, another little cliffy! Do you like where I'm going with this? I hope it all makes sense and fits in. Just keep in mind this is an AU and it should all work out. Also, in reference to the name Sytory, I know it's familiar to another story's title, but this is a name my sis has had for years since an old show called 'The Others' where a girl there's name was called Satori. I just changed the spelling and used it, from her suggestion. It fits well with Sydney and I like it, so no copying here!! Just a common name! Please review and tell me what you think about the past that I made up!! Or just say hi or something, anything, PLEASE!!!!???? Thanx!
