Chapter 7- Truth Behold

"So, what exactly were you planning on telling them," Alex whispered as we un-locked the Crashdown door. Watching as the others got out of their parked cars.

"I dunno," I answered rubbing my forehead. "Have any idea's?"

"The truth!" Alex replied.

"We can't you know that," I told him. Opening the door, and walking over to the counter then going behind it. "It's too dangerous," I said as the others walked into the room, Jim Valenti with them they must have called him asking to met them here.

"That's weird because I've heard those same words before from a certain alien," I looked into my brother's eyes hating the pain that was in there.

"Come on, I'll decide what to say later," I whispered already making my way around the counter and making my way towards the group. Taking a chair by a near by table and sitting down in it so I was facing the booths and the other table that was pulled up to it. "So, what's with your twins?" I asked, feeling Alex sit beside me. Max and Isabel looked at each other," You owe us an explanation," I replied.

"So do you," Michael cried.

"I know but why don't we try one explanation at a time," I say trying to keep my calm.

Michael tried to comment again, but Max interrupted. "They where but on earth just like us. Their pods are in New York and they where suppose to be our duplicates in case we couldn't do the job. We asked you to find the skins hoping that they where with them but then Ava, Tess dupe told us where they where. So, we went and the plan backfired."

"No, shit." I said under my breath, beside me Alex chuckled and took my hand. I looked up; and knew if I told another lie I would be hurting Alex as well and I couldn't to that, so I started softly telling them our story. "Alex and I are brother and sister we were designed to be super soldiers we were genetically engineered our DNA manipulated to have the properties of the best fighters. Speed, hearing, knowledge and other crap like that, most of the abilities we got by cat, wolf, or other animal DNA. The names were X1, X2 and so on, the projects wasn't going as well as they hoped until the X5 were created. Alex and I were part of the X5's but the found us excelling in our abilities, so they moved us to another part of the base and teamed us up together. The taught us fighting techniques, technology and other stuff that weren't allowed being taught to the others due they had more control over us, or so they thought. The others escaped and about a month after they thought they found most of them in one city so they send most of their soldiers to get them. That's the night we escaped. We traveled away from base we didn't know where to go, so we sneaked on a bus and the bus ended up in Roswell, we survived for a week then we were picked up and put in a orphanage. The Whitman's came first and was looking for a child, they wanted Alex and tried to take him but Alex wouldn't let me go. The Parker's where good friends of there's and just lost a child, so they came and saw me and you can figure out the rest." I finished quickly, Alex squeezed my hand and I looked up and him, a smiled covered his lips one I returned. I looked at the others, each one trying to digest what they just heard.

Kyle was the first one to speak, "Did you every see the other X5's again?"

"No, but we figured we would all be better off not knowing where each of us are," Alex answered.

Silence fill the room no one knew what to say, "I know we all have more questions but it's almost 3:00 and you kids need to at least look like you've had a little sleep when you face your parents." Jim replied. Silently we all stood up, walking towards the door Max, Jim, Michael, Tess and Kyle said goodbye and left.

Isabel and Maria faced us, surprising the hell out of me Maria wrapped her arms around me and after a few moments pulled away looking at me she said, "I don't care who you two are. I still count you guys as two as my best friends and I hope one day you will count me as yours."

I looked over at Isabel as saw her nod and say, " I know we were never friends but thanks for everything you have done and I hope in the future we will become better friends." Again surprising the hell out of me Isabel hugged me and the two walked out the door.

"What the fuck just happened?" I asked Alex.

"I have no idea, but they took it well."

"Ya, for know. They're going to go back to Valenti's and then it going to finally hit them."

"Ya, you're right."

"Of course I am, " Walking straight to the back room hitting the lights, "I'm always right." I say going up the stairs, Alex following behind me.

"Ya, Ya!!"

2 and half hours later

"So, what exactly was the purpose of watching that?" Alex asked putting his hands behind his head and lying back down.

"Because I wanted to, I thought is was nice and had good dance moves." I explained re-winding the movie then lying down next to him on the bed.

"Ya, okay so they had good moves but they where all ditizes," he said suddenly sitting straight up and getting of the bed.

"What are you doing?"

"The destiny book, I have an idea how to decode it." Alex said running around the room getting the equipment out of our hiding places.

"How?"

"I don't know why we didn't think of it before, but you remember when you told me you thought you saw some of those words before."

"Ya, but why does that matter?"

"Look," he said handing me the book and pointing to some words. "German, English, French, Italian, Chinese and Jewish."

"My god, there different languages of earth," I cried jumping up and running to the computer, putting the book in the scanner. After a couple of moment the screen started to fill with the scripted that was in the book. After typing the commands in, the words that I've spent months trying to understand in less than two seconds turned into English.

"'Well I'll be damned," Alex cried behind me.
