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.

"Full Inventory Solider" Alec commanded and waited. This command was meant to test a soldier's memory but it served another purpose. All soldiers were forced to keep all details about themselves locked away in a part of their mind. Only a higher-ranking officer could recall this information. This information could be recalled at anytime even when the solider had been away for ten or more years, but. If he said it to Max nothing would happen because she didn't know him as a higher-ranking officer. One of the only people who could recall it were Zack, who was currently away checking up on one of the others at the moment, or Lydecker who was somewhere doing something. Alec would rather not know at this point, but the fact was that it was still there and would always be.

"At ease solider" Alec told her just before she started, she looked really uncomfortable in that position and he knew how it was difficult to speak for long periods like that.

"Designation X6-473 aka Rachel"

Alec didn't know this and couldn't believe his ears when he had heard this but he didn't say anything, he let her carry on,

"Father X5-494 top ranking C.O. of all X5 units and had overriding jurisdiction over all solider ever created at Manticore. On the outside goes by the name of Alec McDowell. Has no junk DNA."

Alec knew all of this; it was about himself after all.

"Mother X5-452 was to be 494's second in command of Manticore. Wasn't made C.O. of her unit because she was one of the last to be born. Was to command over all X5 units and have overriding jurisdiction over all soldiers only can be overridden by X5-494 or ordinary officer of higher ranking. Escaped in 2009 with 11 others before she could take her place. She has no junk DNA."

Okay, Alec knew most of that as well apart from the fact that she had no junk DNA. How strange that they should both have no junk DNA.

"I'm meant to be one of the best Manticore ever made, I'm nearly everything my mother isn't. I don't have seizures but I do still have heat. I exceed in all my classes, but the others I most enjoy are computer systems" me thought Alec, Max was useless with computers, "Stealth" Max "Escape and Evade" both "and copulation" Alec nearly chocked, what the hell was she talking about, they didn't take classes in that until they were 18 years old. They had one such class that lasted about a month every night with your fellow unit but that's it until you start training for valentine missions, Alec knew that it wasn't a very pleasant but it was just something else we had to be taught at Manticore, nothing else.

"I am ranking CO for my unit and I have overriding jurisdiction over all X6 units." Rachel became quiet after that.

After a few seconds Alec stood in front of her, "Is that it solider?" he asked, disgusted at some of the stuff she had said.

"I had a six month period in phys-ops because of who my parents were and after that fortnightly check-ups of an hour and a half." Alec rubbed his face with his hand and Max covered her face with hers. "Also, once one of the guards told me I have a very pretty smile, half smile, half smirk and that I have a quick wit. Zero says I have a sharp tongue and a killer left hook." After that last statement Rachel started to blush.

Alec just stood in front of Rachel for what seemed like hours nobody talked, nobody dared get up and leave Max just sat there on the chair while Logan looked in a state of shock, Alec wasn't surprised, fancy finding out that your girlfriend has a 17 year old daughter with the guy that she hates made by their lovely 'friends' (he used that term very loosely) at Manticore.

Max looked in a complete state of shock, she didn't know what to do, or what to think about having a 17-year-old daughter cooked up by Manticore with Alec.

Alec thought of Biggs, and although he had promised his friend he knew that he might as well get all the skeletons out of the closet at once.

"Max, there's something else I need to tell you." Alec told her, Max didn't answer she was just staring out the window.

"It's about Biggs" Max still didn't answer

"And Jondy." This got her out of it,
