A Family Reunited.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the ALIAS characters. They belong to someone other than little ole me so please don't sue, me I'm just borrowing them.

Story Info.: This is an AU story that starts 6 months after Sydney disappears at the end of season 2. While her family is coming to terms with Sydney's (supposed) death someone shows up who might be able to help them. Oh, and for the record Dixon has just been made the director in charge of the Joint Task Force.

****************************************************************************

Things had returned to something resembling normal in the last few months since the death of Agent Sydney Bristow. However, the lives of the people was about to be turned upside down again.

" Good Morning Jack." stated Director Dixon with sincerity.

" May I ask why you called me into your office?"

" Alright I wanted to introduce you to our newest operative who is joining us from Langley. Since Sydney's death we've been operating short handed, but this new operative should even out the numbers again."

" What does this have to do with me beyond common courtesy?"

Instead of answering Jack's question he hit his intercom button " Nancy please send the agent inside."

Slowly the door opened and a young woman in her early 20's entered the room oozing confidence and self assurance. " Sir, you wanted to see me."

" Yes, Anna I'd like you to meet Agent Jack Bristow."

Anna turned looking at him with an outstretched hand " it's a pleasure to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you."

Then Dixon started talking again " Jack I'd like you to meet Agent Anna Derevko."

" Excuse me?" asked a slightly bewildered Jack, who was trying desperately to keep his emotions in check.

Turning towards Jack again, Anna spoke this time " You heard correctly, my name is Anna Derevko, I'm the daughter of Irina Derevko and yes the CIA new this when they hired me a year ago. Oh, and incase your wondering I'm also your daughter."

" I'm supposed to just believe?" Jack asked incredulously.

" I didn't expect you to" she then reached into the purse she'd been carrying and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him " that is a copy of my birth certificate. That states I was born in Moscow, July 16 twenty years ago. And if you still don't believe me and think that this document is a fake, how would you feel about doing a paternity test."

" Very well. But what makes you so sure I'm your father?"

" My mother has been telling me about and Sydney since I was a little girl."

Jack then turned to Dixon " Who else here at the office knows about this?"

" Just myself. I've already scheduled and appointment for you with medical services. For 1300 hours, so I would advise you to leave now.

Together they left the office and headed to the medical services building in downtown L.A., the ride was silent and very tense since neither knew what to say to the other. By the end of the day it had been determined that Jack did indeed have another daughter and that she would also be working with him. The news quickly spread through the office, many people wondered if she would betray them like Irina had or if she could ever be as good as the legendary Sydney Bristow.

****** ( 1 ½ years later)******

" Dad!" Anna yelled running up to her father who in the middle of a conversation with Director Dixon, Marshall and Agent Weiss " Sorry to interrupt, but I just received a message from the call center in Langley, and you'll never guess who they found." Anna exclaimed.

" Calm down, and tell us." Jack stated his voice laced with frustration at the interruption.

" Yeah, what's the big deal?" Eric inquired glad for the interruption to what he considered and extremely boring meeting.

" As I was saying they received a phone call from someone claiming to be Freelancer needing retrieval."

" Are you sure?" Jack asked not sure what to believe.

" YES!" Anna yelled letting her frustration be known.

Over the next couple of days there was a lot of commotion at the JTF due to Sydney's return from the dead.
