Title: The X6's surprise

Author: Gamegirl 452

Pairings: Max/Alec I would tell you the rest of them but that would spoil my fun!

Rating: PG-13 (for violence, swearing and sexual content that comes later).

Summary: What if not all of the X6's were not originals? Then what would they be? Where do they come from? And what will it do to the X5's who find out?

Disclaimer: I do not own Dark Angel or any of its characters. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this I would be writing the scripts for the fourth series because by now that's what we would be on because I would have never taken off air. I would have put Max and Alec together a looooooong time ago. Alec would have had a much bigger role in the second series. Alec would now be in my house instead of off somewhere.

But I don't own them James Cameron, Fox and the rest of those lot do. Shame.

A/N: This is only my second fan fiction ever so please read and review and please be gentle.

A/N2: Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, special thanks to Riley and to Diamond*Princess and also to my Beta (sort of) reader Jessica.

"Who am I solider?" Alec asked, noting that Logan was still in his computer room and Max was probably having a lie down in the guest bedroom after her ordeal, Alec didn't want to look behind him in case he broke eye contact with the solider and she remembered that Manticore was no more.

Max was keeping very quiet at this point, she didn't want Alec to know she was there at this point, Max was even holding her breath to make sure he didn't pick up her breathing. Alec cocked his head but quickly turned back to face the new X6 obviously not noticing Max, which is what Max, wanted.

"Who am I?" Alec repeated

"You are the highest ranking solider ever known in Manticore history. No solider has ever achieved a higher ranking than you. You command all the X5 units as well as having overriding control on all other units both X series and nomalies." The solider told him.

Alec knew all of this; I mean it was about him wasn't it. If she knew he was the highest ranking solider then why wouldn't she tell him her designation?

This was troubling Alec, no solider in Manticore ever disobeyed an order from him because unknown to Lydecker and the rest of the ordinary commanders, the soldiers had their own punishment system which was no more painful be embarrassing, Alec had learnt that by embarrassing soldiers in front of their unit they wouldn't make the same mistake twice, this meant that there was less punishment the Manticore way for the solider, his/her unit and himself.

"If I am the highest ranking solider known in Manticore history, then why won't you tell me your designation solider?" Alec questioned.

"Because I don't want to reveal who I am until I have fulfilled my other mission. My own personal mission." The X6 answered.

This statement stunned Alec long enough to come out of his Manticore C.O. role and look behind him, there he saw Max sitting bolt upright just staring at him, he looked around back at the X6 but before he could get to the X6 a movement caught his eye near the door. Logan. Shit.

Shit. Alec had forgotten that they might actually walk in during the confession by the X6.

Alec didn't know why he had kept his Manticore position a secret from Max, Logan and the others. The only person who knew was Biggs and Ce-Ce. This was because Biggs and Ce-Ce had been chosen by the Manticore bigwigs to be part of a special task force made up of the best soldiers in Manticore. This task force was only called out when a normal team wouldn't be able to do the job, most of his old task team had either died on their last mission or they had died in the fire. There were only three of them left, himself, Biggs and Ce-Ce.

Alec shook his head; he didn't want to drag bad memories.

'Okay Alec, get back on track, it doesn't matter that Logan and Max are listening in, they already know this much. They might as well find out the rest' Alec thought.

"What was your mission after killing 452?" Alec asked.

"To report to my father and receive further instructions. Then I was supposed to follow him on his next mission and try and find out why he was." the X6 paused, like she was searching for the right words, "so spunky, as the guard had said." The X6 reported.

Oh shit Alec thought. He knew who she was now.

A/N3: You know what to do now! Review!

Just some answers to a few questions

No her designation isn't X5-946. Sorry.

I made these chapters this short because I'm updating daily and I'm writing about one chapter a day so, I thought you would want a small burst everyday instead of a big burst ever week? If not review and tell me and I'll try and make them bigger.

And again thank you to all my reviewers. THANK YOU!
