Title: Unexpected
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. First thing, I have NOT seen season 3, so there is some stuff that I know about others that I don't.
So, just to clarify, Dixon is Director, Jack is out of solitary, Will is in Witness Protection and is not in this fic, Francie was an evil double, Sydney knows that the Covenant is behind her missing two years but not that she was Julia Thorne (yet). She also met her torturer who told her that she was his favourite and that she never broke. But that's it (I think). Oh and in this story Kendall never spoke to Sydney or told her anything, as far as this story is concerned, Kendall is gone. And hopefully won't come back, but who knows! I think that's it.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please review, or email me: Ren201@hotmail.com
Thanks.

"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.
~#~#~#~#~
As Sydney watched the man walk towards her, she couldn't help admiring the irony of her situation. She found it almost humorous to think that her quest to seek revenge for Danny had lead her to her first 'encounter' with this man. Now, it had been Danny's request that she met him again. For a split second, she wondered if this would have happened if her life had been normal. Feeling herself vulnerable to her emotions again, Sydney quickly closed her eyes to prevent her eyes betraying any of her emotions, as she thought about the 'what ifs' and what her future could have held for her, if only she hadn't accepted the offer at SD-6. When she opened her eyes again, she was greeted with the sight of her torturer, who simply smiled at her in return and said:
"I see that you are well. I must say that I'm glad we have the chance to 'talk' again. I must say that I am quite impressed that you escaped my grasps last time, although..." He paused while he emptied a clear fluid into a syringe before he continued,
"I can assure you that that won't be happening again, you pretty, little girl." With that two men came from behind Sydney and tried to hold her down. Sydney struggled against the man as she was injected the liquid from the syringe into her neck.
As the men backed away, Sydney felt light headed and as her big, brown eyes began to slowly give in to the temptation of sleep; she looked at the faces of the people who had been brought into the chaotic mess that had become her life. She saw fear and desperation in most of their faces, with the exception of her father, Dixon and Vaughn. They sat patiently waiting for Sydney's signal for them to fight back. As she scoured the group but found her eyes stop at one person. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the deep green eyes that stared back at her filled with concern. As her eyelids became too heavy to contend with, and she fell into a darkness that she had fallen into so many times before. The only difference was that this time, the darkness was filled with the image of green eyes, which always seemed to follow her wherever she went now. There was never an escape from them, instead there were memories.

~ Vaughn ~
As Sydney's intense gaze finally extinguished, and Vaughn sat in silence, as did the rest of the CIA agents, including Jack. He was honestly shocked when Jack allowed himself to be tied up and didn't utter a single word, as he guessed that every agent other agent in the room was. Vaughn knew the lengths that Jack would go to, to protect Sydney, hell, he know the lengths that he would go to, to protect her.
Vaughn knew that there were only four agents in the room who could protect themselves from the danger that they would encounter if they launched and attack. He also knew that, with the exception of Sydney, the reason that none of them had fought back was because they knew that we had a duty to protect those who couldn't, especially Carry, who was already heavily pregnant and still out cold from her conflict with a guard. Vaughn knew that Sydney would have put up more of a fight if she knew that the people she cared about were safe and away from danger, would the rest of them.
If he were to be completely honest about the situation, he would have to admit that every agent was thoroughly intrigued by what they were seeing. Everyone had heard about Daniel Hecht, and in this office, it was hard not to hear about it. Vaughn was completely shocked to discover that Sydney's fiancée had, in actual fact, not died, but had instead faked his death and worked with the Covenant. Then he found out that Danny had stolen the love of my life and they were together the whole time. He felt completely devastated. How could someone treat someone they claimed to loved that way, taking away their choices in life? Vaughn suddenly knew how Sydney felt when she found out he was married, and only hoped that Sydney would be able to cope with the new information she had found, and the revelation that her fiancée hadn't actually died and was now back to torture her for information.
I looked around the room quickly, trying to find an escape route of some kind or a weapon that I could use against the guards. That was when I saw it, they must have been too busy with Sydney when she attacked them, because, they hadn't bothered to pick up Sydney's discard gun. I decided that I would wait until the guards were distracted, then I would attack. But until then, I had to do my duty, and protect Lauren. As I looked into her eyes, I saw the worry and fear she felt as she watched Sydney being drugged. I pulled her into my arms and did my best to comfort her. It was something I had to do. If I couldn't comfort Sydney, then I would have to settle for Lauren.

The room silently looked on as Sydney's head fell forward and she woke. She looked up into the eyes of the man standing in front of her. Suddenly Sydney let out a hysterical laugh that lasted a few seconds before she abruptly stop, which had made most of the people around take a small step back, in fear that she had gone crazy and was about to jump up and resume her attack on them.
Sydney cocked her head to the side and smiled, as if she were trying to calculate an important detail. It was then that the Sydney spoke.
"Strong stuff... what did you put in it?" As Sydney said that the man in front of her, who let out a small chuckle before replying,
"You should know Syd, it's your creation." Danny said as he looked down at her with a hint of humour in his eyes. "So anyway, back to the information." Before he could continue, Sydney let out another laugh, only this time, it was softer and ended quieter than the last.
Danny gave her a look of confusion before he continued, "Well, I must admit that I don't really believe that you don't remember your missing years, although you have put up a good performance so far. Now lets get down to business shall we Julia?" With that, Sydney looked up with a small smile and replied,
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know anyone named Julia." Danny smiled at this comment and continued,
"I think that we both know that that isn't true, I know that you remember. As I said you've put on a good performance so far, but you have to remember that I've spent the last two years working with you. I know you as Julia and as Syd. They are both so similar that it's ludicrous to deny it. I must admit though, was a good idea to hide out from the Convent by pretending to lose your memory and returning to the CIA. I played along at first, but now... well..." Danny paused as he looked down at his watch.
"Now I really do have to get that information." He looked over at the rest of the people in the room and watched how their expressions changed from fear to confusion then back to fear, as they realised that maybe what he was saying was true and Sydney had known about her missing years the whole time.
"You know exactly what's at stake if I don't return with that information Syd. It's the same threat that made you leave to destroy the Convent. I won't let them hurt her, even if that means hurting you." Danny looked into Sydney's eyes pleading for her to help him.
"How is she? How long do you have before they take her again?" Sydney asked seriously, now knowing that her cover was blown anyway, now that Danny had discovered that she remembered everything, so she might as well find out how she was, she had been with out her for long enough.
"Fine, she misses you, I don't blame her though. She's still with your mother and Sark." Danny replied his British accent becoming stronger again as he replies to her question, without getting over emotional. "I have 6 hours before they find her and sent a team to recover her. It's only so long before they find the place Sark rented; they're getting close. We needed to hurry."
"Ok, untie me and get a pen and paper. I'll still need to come with you, you won't be able to access the volt with me. My cover's blown here now, we'll have to take the Convent down together, like Sark had planned." As Sydney said this, she turned to the people who, were still tied up and were watching her intensely, afraid of what her next actions might be. She gave them a small look of sympathy before her hands were released, and she moved to pick up her gun.
Before she had chance to stop him, Vaughn jumped in front of Sydney, grabbing her gun and pointing it at her temple. Now this was not what she had expected.

What do you think? Should I re-write the ending?
