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.
Over the next couple of days Rachel, Max and Alec got to know each other a whole lot better. Biggs and Zero seemed to have bonded as well.
Tonight Max and Zero were excited because Jondy was coming into town, Max because she hadn't seen her sister in over four months and Zero because he was finally going to meet his mother, the thing was Jondy didn't have a clue about Zero and Max wasn't sure how she was going to take it.
That night they were all sat in Crash, Sketchy and Rachel were playing pool and Rachel beating his ass. Alec and Max were sat at one side of the table and Zero and OC were sat at the other side. Max kept looking at Alec's watch waiting for 10 because that what time Jondy was coming in.
"Boo will you stop looking at the clock 'cause Original Cindy gonna have to put a smackdown on your ass if you do it one more time." Cindy told Max who stopped looking at Alec's watch. It was 9:15 and they were leaving at half past.
Alec picked up his glass and emptied the contents of it.
"My turn for the next round." Zero told Alec and picked up the pitcher and went over to the bar, the age limit on beer had been reduced in America to 18 so the government could cash in on more tax to help keep the economy afloat.
Original Cindy turned to Max and Alec who were sitting side by side,
"So, what's the dealio with the sister coming into town tonight, 'cause Original Cindy wants to know whether she should be prepared for all the black helicopter stuff or not?" Original Cindy asked.
"Jondy, she is my sister, well not biologically but as close if not closer, she was the only other girl our unit with shark DNA so we would spend all night talking. We grew close, she is also Zero's mother." Max told her, "but she doesn't know anything about the X5's children, so" Max paused,
"Original Cindy gets you Boo. She'll keep her mouth zipped." She told them, Max smiled knowing Original Cindy would keep her word.
Zero came back just as Rachel appeared after beating Sketchy at pool yet again,
"Man, she is one tough cookie, are you sure she's not related to you Alec?" Sketchy asked, they hadn't told Sketchy yet because he let slip a lot of things when he was drunk and this was to precious to have being let slip, well until everybody else had been told.
"I wish" Alec said getting his point across to the others.
Much to Original Cindy's annoyance Max grabbed Alec's wrist again to check the time, it was 9:29,
"Max, will you stop grabbing my wrist, why don't you either ask for the time, or get a watch yourself?" Alec asked with fake anger but he couldn't stay angry with Max for long and he smiled, one of those smiles that made every girl in crash hold their breath. Max smiled back.
"Cause she likes having an excuse to get close to you Alec." Answered a voice from behind them, there was only one person in the world that had that voice and that dare cross Max.
"JONDY!!" Max screamed as she leaped from her chair and back flipped over the railing behind them to land next to her sister knocking the table as she went causing drink to spill all over Alec.
"MAX!!" Jondy screamed back, while everyone in crash looked from one to the other wondering what the hell had just happened.
Max and Jondy couldn't stop hugging each other, it was like this everytime they got together.
Alec walked up to them and put his arms round both of them,
"Come ladies, your causing a scene, I've got somebody I'd like you to meet." Alec told Jondy.
He led them up the ramp back to their table where Sketchy, Original Cindy, Rachel, Zero and Biggs was sat. Biggs had joined them during the screaming/hugging match.
"Hi, Original Cindy" Jondy told her,
"Hey up Boo." Original Cindy answered.
"Hi Biggs" Jondy told him and smiled, Biggs smiled back one of those smiles that communicated a thousand words between two people that only those two could understand. Alec looked from one to the other and then looked at Max who smiled and nodded.
"Hi, I'm Rachel." A girl told Jondy, and she held out her hand. Jondy took it and shook it.
"And I'm Zero." Zero stood up and immediately she notice the similarities between herself and Zero. She shook his hand and sat down next to Max and looked at her puzzled, why did Zero look so much like her.
"Right those are the introductions so far, but I think we should go back to my place to explain." Alec told everyone, they all nodded.
AT ALEC'S
They all managed to cram in somehow, Max, Alec and Rachel were sat on the sofa, while Zero and Biggs were sat on the other sofa with Jondy on the chair. They had left Original Cindy and Sketchy at crash due to the nature of this conversation.
Once they had all sat down and settled everyone became silent, the tension in the air could be cut with a butter knife, Jondy was the one who spoke first.
"Why are we here? Zack didn't tell me anything he just said to get to Seattle as quickly as possible and that you'd explain everything once we got here." Jondy asked.
"Right, I feel like I should explain this." Alec told her. "When I was at Manticore I heard a lot of things because I was the highest ranking officer."
"Of the X5's." Jondy interrupted
"No, I was the highest ranking officer of Manticore, I had control over everything." Alec explained, Jondy shut up then. "I found out that they had create two sorts of X6's, ones that were an advancement on the X5's, or they thought they were." Alec smirked and took a deep breath, "And the ones that were created purely from the X5's." Alec finished.
Jondy looked puzzled, "What are you saying, that these X6's are our children?" Jondy asked laughing at the thought.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying." Alec told her. Jondy stopped smiling, she just sat there with a blank expression.
"Maybe you should go out the room for this bit Zero" Biggs suggested,
"No, I want to stay, I don't want you to protect me dad. I can handle it." Zero told him.
Jondy looked from one to the other, 'dad', now she look at him she could see the similarities between them, but, she remembered what she had thought back at crash and looked at Zero again.
"Most of the children were from the 09er's, but a few had another X5 parent. Zero is Biggs son." Alec explained.
"But does that mean." Jondy stopped she couldn't finish the sentence.
"Yeah Jo, Zero is also your son." Max told her. Jondy got that blank look on her face, she looked from Biggs to Zero and back again.
"I have another child with Biggs." Jondy asked, and she immediately knew she had made a mistake.
"What do you mean another child?" Alec asked, he wasn't hearing this.
"Er, Max could I talk to you in private?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure." She said and they headed for the bedroom, Max shut the door.
When they had gone in Alec just looked at Biggs.
"How could you have a child and not tell me?" Max asked,
"I don't, well not anymore." Jondy told her as she started crying.
"What do you mean, not anymore?"
"Well, I miscarried, I lost her when I was six months pregnant, and they couldn't save her." She told Max who was now cuddling her trying to will the tears away.
"I'm so sorry Jondy." Max told her,
Jondy nodded, she had never really mourned the death of her little girl.
"Chloe." Jondy whispered.
"Pardon?" Max asked.
"Chloe, that's what I named her, it seems that after a certain time if you miscarry you have to name them and give them a proper burial and everything, she's buried in the hospital graveyard in L.A., Chloe Maxine Alexia. That was her name. She was so beautiful." Jondy told her.
"Do you need some time?" she asked.
"No, I mean, I've got Zero now, don't worry about Biggs, he knew. I called him as soon as I found out I was pregnant, he was there when I miscarried." Jondy told Max.
Something clicked in Max's head, "So that's where he went in such a hurry a few months ago."
"Yeah. He was the one who put the Alexia in the name." Jondy told her.
"Alec will be thrilled with that." Max joked trying to make light of the situation.
"Do you want to go back?" Max asked,
"Yeah, I've got to face them sometime, I mean they will have heard the whole conversation, the walls aren't that thick. It means I don't have to explain anything." Jondy told her. Max nodded.
They walked back into the room and everybody was silent.
"I know you all heard that." Jondy told everyone and she went over and sat next to Biggs who hugged her. Zero was stood in the corner of the room.
"Do you want to know about your little sister Zero?" Jondy asked, he nodded.
Jondy patted the spare place on the sofa next to where she sat.
Jody spend the next hour telling everyone about Chloe Maxine Alexia, Max was beside herself that they had named her after her, and Alec grinned when he learnt about the Alexia bit.
After an hour Jondy became quiet, she was now sat cuddled up to Biggs trying to find comfort with Zero now sat next to Rachel hugging her.
"Jondy, I'm really sorry to spring this on you as well but we have more news to tell you." Alec told her. Jondy sat up.
"What news?" she asked.
"Well, Zero isn't the only one." Alec told her.
"What do you mean, not the only one?" Jondy didn't get this at all.
"There was a reason we were called the 5's brats." Rachel answered
"You're an X5 child as well?" Jondy asked.
Rachel nodded, "But not just any X5 child." She told her and pointed to Max.
"She's yours Max" Jondy told her, more of a statement than a question.
Max nodded, "Yeah she is, she's also Alec's." Max told her and then smiled at Alec, they had been getting close these last couple of days due to the fact they had just found out they had a daughter together.
"Alec's." Jondy echoed.
"Yeah, but that's not it." Max told her and looked at Biggs.
"No, Jondy Rachel and Zero are two of ten." He stated clearly so that she would here him correctly.
"There's another eight children." Jondy asked weakly, this had been a lot to take in.
"Yeah, there also Tinga, Ben, Adam, Cass, Leather, Speedo, Bullet and Firewall." Rachel told them, "Tinga is Zack and Ce-Ce's, Ben is Krit and Sly's, Adam is Tinga and Zane's, Cass is Jack and Jace's, Leather is Ben and Eva's, Speedo is Brin and Casey's, Bullet is Zero and Lee's and Firewall is Shaun and Mia's." Rachel explained.
"Okay, how do you know all this?" she asked Rachel.
"I was CO of that unit and had overriding control over all X6's, I knew all about who we were, and who you were and I put numbers to names." Rachel told her.
"Krit and Sly. Tinga and Zane." Jondy echoed, "I believe those two, but Ben and Eva. Shaun and Mia. Those pairs just don't mix at all."
"Yeah well, Leather and Firewall are actually very good kids and they are a good laugh." Rachel told her.
"Wait, does Zack know about these children?" Jondy asked.
"No, he doesn't. He's called all of you to come down here and all the children are coming as well, the kids know but the adults don't." Max told her.
Jondy nodded still taking everything in, her hand started to shake.
"Not now, not now." Jondy said. Biggs knew what was happening and ran over to one of Alec's cupboards where he kept his stash of Tryptophan. He got the bottle and ran back to Jondy, he took out two pills and put them in her mouth.
"Come on, swallow them sweetheart, that's a good girl." Biggs told her as she started to have her seizure.
The pills started to take affect and the seizure became less violent, Biggs just took Jondy and sat her in his lap and rested her head on his shoulder. She fell asleep.
Max looked at Alec and nodded, Zero and Rachel went back to their own apartment downstairs and Max and Alec went into the bedroom, it was going to be a long day tomorrow and even with Max's shark DNA she wasn't going to get much sleep in the next week.
They got undressed in silence, got into bed and went to sleep getting ready for a long day ahead of them.
