Title: Daddy's little girl.
Summary: What if Irina had included Sydney when she'd faked her death? What
if Sark worked as a double with a mourning Jack at SD-6?
Disclaimer: I don't own alias or anything related to it, I just get bored a
lot.
Spoilers: Sark's first name, but the rest is mainly AU.
A/N: This fic really messes with the whole show this means some characters
aren't identical to what they were. I've changed the destinies of some of
the characters, but some remain the same.
Chapter Six
Jack left the hospital in the morning after Sydney had woken up. She'd smiled at him and he'd kissed her forehead, just like he had all those years ago when he'd left that morning to go to work and returned to an empty house and police officers telling him his wife and child were gone.
"I love you sweetheart." He muttered. "I am proud of you. No matter what mistakes you've made, or are going to make, I will always love my little Syd." She surprised him by the genuine tears in her eyes.
"I love you too, dad."
Then he left and didn't look back as he got in a taxi and headed to the CIA base of operations. Weiss, Sark, Kendall and Marshall were waiting for him.
"I examined the liquid...which by the way wasn't perfume...well anyway it's what it was that was so fascinating...I mean it's impossible, but it's there...so I guess it's not..."
"What is it Marshall?" Sark asked before Kendall lost his patience.
"Well, um, the simplest way would be...liquidised francium."
"That's impossible!" Weiss objected. "Even I know there's only over six grams of Francium in the world at one time and even then it's so reactive that it doesn't stay in form for long, it's impossible to collect, especially in a liquid form."
"Well, Rhambaldi performed a miracle, but this stuff will probably only last another year at most...I mean it's already been formed for over five hundred years."
"What would Rhambaldi want with something so reactive?" Sark asked the question on everyone's mind and then Jack gave the answer that sat on everybody's tongue.
"A nuclear bomb. Sloane and Irina will have their own powerful nuclear bomb and could effectively hold the world to ransom..."
"But Francium!" Sark objected. "They'd die from the fall out too."
"Actually it gets worse." Marshall interrupted. "I mean...do you guys remember that virus that Julian contracted a few months ago? Well, imagine that, but aimed at one specific ethnic group, or family. I think from what intel we have that the Francium could power a machine that could pump the disease into our atmosphere and it could be targeted at one person, or an entire race."
"And Sloane, Irina and Sydney almost had their hands on it..." Kendall muttered.
"With all due respect director Kendall. Sydney is the way she is because of Irina. Who knows how she could have turned out? Perhaps she would be here now trying to stop Sloane..."
"I highly doubt that Jack. Now I want that Francium handed over to the lab boys at the Pentagon. This is a major scientific break through. Then I want you and Julian to go to SD-6 and find out when they plan to activate the device and we'll make sure we have a task force in place to meet them. Understood?"
"Understood.' Jack mumbled bitterly. It wasn't Kendall's daughter who would be arrested, or shot in three days time.
After the meeting Julian followed Marshall back to the lab. "Marshall. We've been friends for three years now. It was Jack and I who got you out of SD-6. So I need a favour..."
