Author: Ren201
Summery: The JTF is attacked and someone comes back from the dead.
Spoilers: up to season 3.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Alias!
Author's note: Ok, I think that this story might get a little confusing, and people are already asking me questions. I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this, because I didn't actually expect anyone to review. So on that note, I should really thank the people who did, I am really grateful and if they hadn't reviewed I probably wouldn't have carried on with the story. So thanks to Egyptian Kat, LilyoftheValley4, Miaka Summers and neptunestar. I hope I don't disappoint you!
Oh yeah, should also say that this chapter doesn't really acknowledge the fact the there are other people in the room. It centres on Sydney and Danny.
Please Review!! Thanks

As Sydney looked at her new attacker, she was so overwhelmed with what she saw that she couldn't move; she couldn't breath for fear of what she saw. As the cluster of CIA agents watched Sydney's reaction to the new threat, nobody understood what was going on. The only agent who recognised the man was Dixon. Sydney stood there in shock for another second as she let a single tear fall down her face. Suddenly Sydney felt the butt of a gun hit her across her temple.
Before Sydney past out, she looked into the eyes of the man in front of her and whispered painfully,
"Danny?"
~#~#~#~#~
As Sydney lay unconscious on the floor, the entire room's gaze was fixated on the man that Sydney had, only moments ago, revealed as Danny. Every agent in the room was completely stunned. They all knew about Sydney's fiancée and that it was this that had lead her to learn the truth about SD-6 and become a double agent, which finally lead to the fall of the Alliance. Now all they could do was wait for Sydney to wake up face what was waiting for.

As Sydney started to stir in her sleep, she was immediately hit with horrific headache that made all of her sense ache and every muscle in her body tense. Before she even attempted to open her eyes, she tried to remember what had put her into this state. Her first thought was of Eric, as she wondered if he had comforted her again over too many tequila shots and coffee ice cream.
Suddenly the events that had rendered her unconscious came flashing through her mind forcing her to let out a groan at the thought of what had occurred. Then she remembered. Danny was there. Her flew open she so quickly, that the man who had been watching over her let out startled gasp, which immediately got the attention of everyone else in the room.
As Sydney tried to move, she found herself tied to a chair in the middle of the JTF. As she estimated the damage that had been caused, she now saw that everyone in the room had been tired up and had their eyes focused solely on her. Although she felt shy under their intense gaze, she knew that now wasn't the time to feel self-conscious, and so instead she frantically looked around the room searching for the impostor who was pretending to be Danny. She knew that it wasn't him. It couldn't have been. Danny had died; she had found him in the bath. She had buried him; there was a body, he couldn't be alive, it wasn't possible. As Sydney thought about all the possibilities of what was happening, she noticed that the room had shifted their gaze from her to someone who was positioned behind her.
"Hey Syd. I'm sorry about the audience, but I think that we both know that you wouldn't give us the information we needed without some...leverage and lets face it, this is the best possible leverage I could get isn't it?" As 'Danny' spoke, she noticed that he had lost the edge to his British accent, and it had less sharpness to it. She found it almost comforting to hear Danny's voice again, but she knew that she couldn't take anything at face value, not in this business, if her years of training and experience had taught her anything, it was that.
"Who are you? Don't pretend to be somebody your not, Danny died. I buried him!" Sydney managed to choke out. She knew that she had to stay strong and not let the man, who was now in front of her, see how the situation was effecting her.
"That's actually quite an interesting story actually, but I have one question to ask you first. Didn't you die as well, from what I've heard; you had a memorial service? Or am I mistaken?" Danny asked, clearly amused by the scenario playing out in front of him, as there was a hint of humour in his accent, which made it stronger than before.
Sydney sat there, unable to answer. Everyone had known of her death and reappearance back into the CIA, she had become a legend with the CIA and it caused her life to become something that was gossiped about by the water coolers. Now Sydney felt herself starting to question what she knew to be true. Danny had died, hadn't he? The only words she found herself able to utter where "How? There was a body?"
As soon as the words left her mouth she heard a laugh erupt from Danny's mouth. "And I was told that you were a genius" Danny said while trying to control his laughter before continuing
"Well, I guess we should put your naivety down to your concussion and the drugs that are still in your system. Well, it's actually quite a funny story really. I was recruited just like you were, but not until couple of years after you." Danny stopped to watch Sydney's reaction before continuing. "So anyway, we did actually meet by chance. I kept you from my superiors and when they found out, I was forced to leave you. They decided that it would have been best to fake my death, so that I could carry on working in the field without you becoming suspicious about my status. They thought that a clean break was best for everyone. I had no choice Syd, they would have killed you if you found out" Danny said with a hint of sadness in his voice while he thought about the irony of the statement.
As Danny continued, he began pacing the room. "It wasn't until you became a double that I found out that all of this was actually planned, and they knew about you already. They told me that you were an important player. They actually told me that you were a classified project. I was told to leave you alone otherwise they would... terminate... the project. I couldn't leave you like that Syd, so I watched you. I followed your missions, your progress and watched you carry on with your life. That was until I started to rise within the agency, that I was given the chance to be part of your life again, and I took it." Danny stopped, unsure of whether or not he should continue with his explain, but before he could continue, a confused Sydney interrupted his chain of thought.
"What do you mean? You never came back to be part of my life." Sydney said, now oblivious to the fact that she had a room full of people watching their every move in complete astonishment.
"You have to understand something Syd. I loved you, and I still do. I really did want to marry you and live a normal life, but it wasn't possible. So, I had to... change that. It was the only way that we could be together." Danny said while looking into Sydney's eyes pleading with her to understand what he did.
"What did you do? Please... don't tell me that it was you who...no, you wouldn't have done that. You couldn't have done that, you don't have that kind of power." Sydney managed to say. Then a sudden realisation hit her.
"You're part of the Convenant" Sydney muttered as more of a statement than a question. "I was with you for those missing years wasn't I?" Sydney stated, demanding an answer as she could feel the anger rise up in her throat.
"Yeah, you were. It actually didn't take long to persuade my superiors to 'recruit' you onto our side, even if they had to take certain 'measures' to protect themselves. I did it for you Syd, I did it for us." Danny said, while trying to justify his actions to Sydney.
"I had a life here Danny, and it was a pretty good one." Sydney paused as she took in the new information that she had been given before she gingerly said, "There was a body, if it wasn't me then who...who was it?"
Danny turned his head slightly to avoid Sydney's gaze as he said, "Your body was faked the same way as mine. Project Helix. I know that you thought that you destroyed it, but started long before anyone knew about it. I was used as a prototype to start with, and they decided to see how reliable it was faking my death. They did the same with you Syd. But you need to know that Francie had nothing to do with us, Syd. I could never do that to you. That was Sloane, and trust me when I say that he will pay for what he has done."
Sydney sat dumbfounded by the new development. She now finally knew who she with during her two missing years, but the one thing she still didn't know was whether or not Danny could be trusted, and why had he come here to tell her that. There must be another reason he was here. Then she remembered, he had said that he needed information. Did he know that she couldn't remember anything from her two missing years? He must know.
"What do you want Danny. I know that you didn't come here just to tell me about my two missing years. It's not worth the risk, even for the Covenant. What do you want?" Sydney asked, as apprehension rose in her chest. She knew the lengths the Convent would go to, and it worried her that the people who had been caught up in her life could be the ones to suffer.
"I'm actually quite glad that you asked me that Syd, because we need some information, and well, to be quite frank, we need it now. Information that only you know." Danny said as he stared down at Sydney with a menacing look that she had never seen before.
"And as you can see, we've been given the appropriate equipment and authorisation to extract that information. I think it's about time we called in the expert in this matter, I think he'll enjoy seeing you again Syd." As Danny spoke, he nodded towards the door and Sydney saw someone she recognised. As the Chinese man walked closer she saw the man who had extracted two of her teeth in an attempt to get information from her, back when she found out the truth about SD-6. From the look in his eyes, Sydney could tell that he was going to enjoy the torture he was about to inflict onto her.
