Chapter Three: The Beginning…AKA The Beginning…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So, this is Seattle – still the hole it was four years ago. Though, I can't think of a liable reason it would have changed for the better at this exact moment. Agh.

So, my life in LA I went to medical school (oh * Yay* that was fun) and then just moved around a lot – the whole plan was to have a doctor Zack could trust and who better than an X5.

I wonder what they've got mixed up in this time – a relative of Renfro? The surviving committee? Evie has the chicken pox? LOL. I'm far too bitter for a woman of 26. Which would make Zack…29…Max…27…Logan …snigger. I'm a horrible, horrible person.

Luckily for us, X5 blood has regenerative purposes; basically, if we manage to live a long life without dropping dead, we appear young. I'll probably look like this until I'm 80. Which is why Manticore had so many problems with that aging disease – we live a long life looking young or we age quickly and die of that disease that almost claimed Brin and managed to kill Max's X7 clone.

Details, details.

Sector Nine looks better than I've seen it – cleaner and nicer. A happier aura about it.

I pull my motorbike over to the side of the road and look up at Foggle Towers. All my associate doctors think it's disturbing that a doctor rides a motorcycle. Maybe I should have stuck to my photography and left Alec to be the doctor. Wonder how Alec is.

Okay, I know I'm putting off seeing my sibs. So sue me. God, why did Zack have to make it so hard for me? Because of that stupid obsession with Max.

I'm going to go in there and behave like the adult I am. I'm going to help with whatever needs doing and then I'm going home.

You know what they say about the best laid plans…



AN: The whole aging thing is a theory of mine – kinda gay, but I can't imagine Max or Logan aged into grown ups – you know what I mean. And that excuse Zack gave Jondy was gay, I agree, but this was meant to be a one chapter vignette sorta thing and then I thought of a plot. I'll post the next chapter later today ( Only if I have a grand total 15 reviews. I am evil
