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. Rating: R (Violence and disturbing scenes) 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 Ten

Jack sat trying to stem his sobs for ten minutes and kept apologising. "I'm so sorry, you're like a son to me, I've let you down..."

"No, Jack, it's okay. We'll just have to think of another way." Julian objected, but he knew there was no way out and he would execute his destiny tonight. He just wished he knew what that would be.

At ten to midnight Sydney and Sloane came for them and they struggled as much as they could, but were still dragged through stone tunnel ways and eventually out into an open garden with flowers blooming everywhere and a stone fountain positioned in the centre, but no water emerged from the fountain that was shaped as a large goblet.

They pushed Jack to his knees as Irina took Sark over to the fountain and that was when Julian noticed what lay in the stone of the fountain. Dotted around the fountain were holes that allowed Rhambaldi's artefacts to fit in snugly.

Irina took out a bottle from a brief case and stared smugly at Sark. "We found the Francium at your apartment. You really thought it would be safer there? You shouldn't have asked Marshall to give it to you." She poured the sweet smelling purple liquid into the fountain and after a few minutes of the sound of machinery moving the fountain sprung into life and the chalice began to fill.

"Now to finish it." Sydney grabbed Sark and submerged his head under the water. She took a small blade and sliced a slight cut on his forehead as the blood met the liquid it began to crackle with electricity and then it all went quite.

Sydney pulled Sark out of the water and drove the blade through his chest. He wheezed for a moment then went limp in her arms. She laid him gently on the floor. Jack screamed with pain and struggled against Sloane. He just let him go and Jack scrambled over to Julian. "Julian...don't leave me...please..." He whimpered, but his body was lifeless and had already started to grow cold in his fatherly arms.

Sloane, Irina and Sydney greedily lapped up the fountain water that contained Sark's blood like ravenous dogs and Jack grew furious. He pulled the blade from Sark's chest and charged at Irina. She laughed and let the knife sink in.

"Too late, Jack." She punched him and sent him sprawling to the ground. She pulled out the knife and threw it down into Jack's thigh.

"H-how?" He stumbled. Then he heard the most amazing thing his ears had ever had the privilege to witness. Julian took a breath! He sat up warily and rubbed his chest. The wound had completely healed, but it still stung when he inhaled.

Sydney laughed and ran over to him to help him up. "We're immortal!" She screamed giddily. Jack whimpered as Irina plunged the knife through his stomach.

"You're dying, Jack. Drink the water and we can be a family again. You, me and Syd."

"O-over my d-dead b-body, bitch!" He spluttered. Irina cupped the water in her hand and took it to him. She forced it into his mouth, but he spat it out in her face. "I'm not afraid to die."

"Fine. Arvin, Syd, Julian. Come along. We have work to do." Irina ordered.

"No!" Julian objected. "I'm not on your side." Sydney sighed and wrapped her arms around him.

"Then you'll have no one. We'll live forever and everyone you let close to you will die. We won't." She cooed. "Do the right thing Sark..."v

"My name is Julian!" He growled and tried to stop the severe blood loss from Jack's stomach. Irina sighed and grabbed Arvin.

"Bring him when Jack dies, or give Jack the water, either way will do. We'll wait in the jeep." Irina and Sloane left the garden and Julian began to weep, as Jack grew more distant.

"I love you, son." Jack muttered. "It's not your fault, but promise me, if it takes eternity, you'll kill Derevko and Sloane."

"You bet I will." He promised. "Please, don't leave me. Drink the water and we'll do it together..."

"There's a way to stop this." Jack gasped as a wave of pain shot trough every nerve in his body. "The sundial on the base of the fountain. Open one of your veins and let the blood seep in the chalice, then turn the sundial anti-clockwise. Keep turning until your watch date lands on the day Irina left. Stop her taking Syd, maybe then we can stop this and don't forget to destroy the Francium..." He coughed then wheezed for oxygen. When he lay still with his eyes open Julian shut them over and stood up.

He grabbed the knife from within Jack's stomach and cut the vein in his left arm. The blood dripped along the floor until he reached the sundial. He let a pint ooze in and went to turn the sundial, but Sydney stopped him.

"Don't do this." She pleaded. "We can spend eternity together."

"Another second with you is too much." He turned the dial and kept turning as Sydney and his surroundings began to blur. "Mom said he never cared about me," Sydney shouted. "Did he mourn me for a long time?"

"He mourned you for the rest of his life." He called out. "You were his little girl."

Sydney Bristow woke up in the morning when she heard her mother downstairs. She was about to leave when she noticed a fair-haired man standing in the corner of her room. He smiled and his blue eyes were filled with warmth and joy.

"Hi." Sydney greeted him.

"Hello Sydney. I'm a friend of your father's and your daddy asked me to play with you for a little while until your nanny comes, is that alright?" He asked.

"Um...okay, is mommy going out too?"

He swallowed and looked at the truly innocent little Sydney Bristow. "Yes, your mother is going out for a little while, but your father will be home soon."

He picked her up and tucked her back into bed. "Now you go back to sleep and wait for your father. He'll be home soon, but I need you to keep a secret. Okay?" The tired child yawned and nodded. "Don't tell anyone I was here. It'll be our little secret."

"When will mommy be home?"

"I-I don't know Sydney, but I get the feeling you're more of a daddy's girl." He smiled as she lay down and sunk into her pillow. Jack may not always be there for her, but at least she'd have a decent future.

Julian found the Rhambaldi fountain in the middle of the Alaska and once again opened his vein. It poured into the fountain and once again he travelled through time, but this time it was to his own time. He had no idea what future he would return too, but he'd convinced his father not to work with the CIA, he didn't want to loose him and Sydney would be one of the good guys. He would no longer be immortal and he would, just like Sydney, Jack and Irina, have no memory of the past life they had first lived. He just prayed he could be as good a man as he had been.
