Please review and let me know what you think!!

A storm was coming, she could smell it, taste it in the air. Far out over the
ocean the clouds brewed, lighting flashed in the distance. Sydney Bristow's
hair whipped around her head as she watched the advancing storm. It was sixteen
years ago to the day that Sydney woke up in Hong Kong to find her world turned
upside down. The strange thing was, she didn't look a day older and was
in better physical condition than ever.
But as you know, life has a way of kicking you, in exchange for something
you don't even remember. Vaughn was missing, had disappeared, along
with Lauren, 10 years ago on a mission that the NSC had commissioned. That was
before they knew that Lauren was Covenant. The rest of the CIA thought that
Vaughn had deserted, but Sydney didn't think so. She knew that Vaughn
had trusted his wife and that Lauren had betrayed him. She had turned him over
to the Covenant, to find out all his secrets, and to turn him against his country
and everything he held dear. Brainwashing could do that to you.
Vaughn was now a French assassin working for the covenant, how does
Sydney know? Quite simply, he tried to kill her.
~~~Flash Back~~~ 5 yrs ago
Sydney had just returned from a mission with Weiss, where they had discovered
and destroyed a Covenant lab. It was hard work, and Syd couldn't wait to finish
up the paper work when she heard a shuffling noise outside of her bedroom, She
looked at the clock, 9:45, Michelle wasn't supposed to be home until 10:30 or
11:00, and she normally announced herself. Sydney was just reaching for her
gun, when the door banged open, a masked man carrying a gun entered the room,
"Put your hands up, and don't even think of going for your gun Bristow."
The man said with a slight French accent. Slowly Sydney did as she was told,
when she was standing with her hands in the air, the man approached and put
the gun to her temple, "Say good bye" Sydney squeezed her eyes shut
just for a moment before she swung her arm around, knocking the mans gun away,
following with hard kick to the chest, he fell back landing on his knees, winded,
but only for a moment Sydney took the opportunity to get her gun out and point
it at him.
"Who are you, and who do you work for?!" Sydney shouted although she
already
had a pretty good idea of who he worked for. When she got no reply, she tried
again, "Take off your mask" To Sydney's surprise he complied,
but what shocked her the most was the man under the mask, "Vaughn...?"
she was so shocked, that the gun wavered, but only for a moment, he looked up,
and his gaze made her shiver, it was not the gaze of a loving Michael Vaughn,
but that of a cold hard killer. A door slammed downstairs, "Hey I'm back,
just picking something up! How was your trip?" Sydney turned at the voice,
Vaughn took advantage of the momentary disruption and dove for her gun, he almost
had it when, it went off with a loud crack, shattering a window "MOM!?"
came the voice from downstairs once again, as the sound of feet running came
up the stairs, Vaughn suddenly seized the gun and hit Sydney hard in the temple,
she fell to the floor with a thud, "We'll finish this later Bristow."
he said and was gone.
~~~End Flashback~~~
"Mom!? Where are you? he's going to be here any minute!"
"Coming sweetie!" Sydney climbed back through the window and into
her room,
as Michelle, Sydney's' 17 yr old daughter entered.
"Come on, Paul's going to be here any minute and I really want you
to meet
him." Michelle said, dragging Sydney by the hand down to the family room.
"I really want to meet him too." Sydney said smiling, "But I
did have a
pretty good view from the roof, oh, and it looks like a storm is coming,"
there was a double meaning in that, "I want you to keep your phone on
tonight, and answer if I call, no matter where." Sydney looked at her
daughter seriously.
"Ok mom." Michelle said, looking a little worried, she knew her mom
worked
for the government, but all she did was translate documents, and go on trips
as an interpreter. Michelle thought that maybe her mom was thinking she
might have to go on a sudden trip and would want to tell her before she left.
The sound of a car coming up the driveway, interrupted their conversation,
and Michelle's face lit up in a huge smile, that Sydney couldn't help
but return. The doorbell rang, and Michelle jumped up to get the door.
"Hi Paul! come in, I want you to meet my mom. Mom, this is Paul, and
Paul, this is my mother, Sydney Bristow."
"Well, I would have guessed, that the last name was Bristow, considering
its
your last name too," Paul teased, which earned him a playful swat from
the
young miss Bristow, "ow!" Paul flinched back in mock pain. Then to
Sydney
"It's very nice to finally meet you Ms. Bristow" Said Paul with a
handshake
and a smile.
Sydney liked him already, "Sydney's fine, if you don't mind, and
it's very
nice to finally meet you too Paul."
Sydney, of course, already knew all about Paul Newhaven, how many speeding
tickets he had, what college he was starting at, and many other small facts
that you could only find out by being a spy. She also knew the
itinerary of the whole evening, thanks to Paul IMing his friend Steve all
about it.
"Well get going you two! You're burning daylight! Have fun and be safe."
Michelle came over to give Sydney a hug goodbye, "Love you sweetie."
Sydney whispered in her ear.
"Bye mom, I won't be out too late" Laughed Michelle, emphasizing the "too".
