A/n: Okay, here's the deal. I really don't like this story anymore, and I don't even know if anyone's reading it. If you are still reading it, I apologize for my lack of writing in it. But the fact is, I'm sick of writing it and I have much better stories that deserve my attention. I have too many things that I'm working on, and it seems that this one has been greatly put to an end. For anyone still interested, I'll summarize what happens to finish off the story of my first Alias fic and my first Vaughn children: Jason and Mandy. Here it goes:

Sydney wakes up strapped to a chair with a pounding headache. She drifts in and out of sleep, but finally comes to and focuses on Sark. She demands information, and he tells her that's keeping Jason and their location on the island – True Love Island. He tells her that when Jason was a baby, he implanted a chip in his neck to later control him and draw Sydney to him. She asks him why he is telling her all this, and he declares that she is the Prophecy.

He adds that he rebelled from Sloane against his knowledge which was why Sloane got caught. As for Tracy, well, she was just stupid. He wanted to use different means to get to Sydney and Sloane thought differently.

Sark suddenly whistles sharply, and to Sydney's mixture of horror and delight, Jason appears. In a fit of hysteria, she struggles against the straps to get to her son, and he nears her. Sark shoves a needle into Sydney's struggling body and she cries out in pain as Sark tells Jason to carry Sydney away to her room. Sydney falls unconscious as Jason picks her up.

Meanwhile, back in the States, Vaughn is at Jack Bristow's house watching Mandy sleep. He has flashbacks of the day she was born, her first day of school, her interacting with her brother. He's been going crazy since Sydney was abducted. He cannot eat or sleep, and Mandy is all that keeps him sane. He remembers how after Sydney's comm. link went static he and Weiss barged into the house only to find miniscule drops of blood by the door and and a ripped ticket stub. He didn't tell anyone about the stub, he simply grabbed it and shoved it into his pocket.

Jack approaches Vaughn and he beckons him away from Mandy; he reluctantly follows. They go to Jack's office and discuss what information they have. Vaughn brings out the ticket, and he and Jack study it. As Jack organizes everything they know, Vaughn feels as if Jack knows just as much as he does, if not more.

On the island, Sydney awakens on a stiff bed. Hundreds of Rambaldi machines set before her in a large room. She rushes to the door as quickly as she can and attempts to break it open, but she cannot. She turns to the wall, surprised she had not noticed the single glass wall. Pressing her face to it, she sees Jason on the other side. His room looks like a depressed, gloomy bedroom. Jason notices his mother and walks up to her cautiously. His eyes are glazed over. He tells her she must assemble the ultimate Rambaldi machine; it is her destiny. Sydney refuses to, terrified at her son. It just isn't him. His voice is different. He seems robotic.

She spends days lying in the bed, watching Jason through the glass wall, and thinking of possible escape routes. Sydney talks to him occasionally, but it is not normal conversation. He is different, yet so is she. Once in a great while, she can hear her son's real voice escape the evil body pleading for her to build it so they can go home. She can sometimes see her real son in his eyes. But she worries it could be a figment of her imagination.

Vaughn, in his confusion, finally interrupts Jack during their discussion and asks him how he knows so much. And Jack finally admits, he is still CIA. Vaughn listens in shock to hear that Jack has been working form home all these years. Researching, mapping, contacting all from his office. He pulls up files on his computer and they research the partial name they have on the ticket stub. They find a boat company in the southwest Pacific. Jack alerts the CIA of this news, and Vaughn goes to check on Mandy.

She wakes up and they talk. He feels horrible for not being able to function properly without Sydney and Jason, but she understands. He holds her and they cry together, and he promises to get her mother and brother back home. Continuing to hold her as she drifts back to sleep, the image of the boat from the boat company website lingers in his mind. And suddenly it comes to him. He remembers the boat. He rushes to Jack and exclaims they have to leave for True Love Island right away.

After a while, Sydney can't take it. She wants her son back. She wants more food. She wants to go home. The darkness is getting to her, and slowly she follows the cryptic clues on the Rambaldi documents to assemble the machine. With every piece she lifts she tries to think of another way to escape. She thinks if she can trigger enough emotion and memory in Jason she can bring him back to normal. She hates how Sark is controlling him through a chip in his neck.

The door to her cell bursts open abruptly. The light is fierce and blinding, and she can only make out a figure edging towards her. She cowers in fright, then nearly faints of relief to discover it is Vaughn. He whispers his love to her, and his thankfulness that he found her. He inquires about Jason's whereabouts, and she tells him he's next door. Vaughn looks through the glass and spies Jason sleeping. He mildly weeps. He tells Sydney they have to hurry and get him out because they don't know where Sark is. But they have to get out.

Vaughn rampages to find a useful Rambaldi device to break the glass between the rooms as Sydney explains about the chip in Jason's neck that's programming him to act as Sark's minion. Vaughn chucks the machine at the glass in rage and it breaks open. They maneuver through the shards to Jason, who is still oddly sleeping. He is unconscious; Sydney and Vaughn worry about this, but their main objective is to remove that chip.

They cut open his skin along the scar on his neck, but unfortunately stop upon hearing a gun click in the doorway behind them. Sark tells them the broken glass sounded a silent alarm, and Vaughn and his men had sounded one as they came upon Sark's facility. He controlled Jason's body to fall unconscious.

Vaughn clenches his teeth as he remembers he left his gun in Sydney's room amidst the many devices, and neither Sydney nor Jason are obviously armed. Sark says that Vaughn can take Jason and leave, but Sydney must stay and finish the machine. And she will, or else Sark will kill her children. Sark laughs to himself and mentions, At least they'll be able to say he had his father's eyes...

Sydney and Vaughn are startled upon this statement. He couldn't possibly mean that Jason is truly their son...? However, Sark is correct. Biologically, Jason is their son; their DNA, but created in a lab and programmed with the chip.

With this new knowledge, Vaughn becomes protective. He says that Sark will not kill his children, and that Sydney won't finish the machine. Vaughn steps in front of Sydney and Jason despite Sydney's protests for him not to.

A gunshot sounds.

Sark falls to the floor, blood pooling around his head. Dixon appears in the doorway with a gun much to Sydney and Vaughn's relief. He makes sure everyone is all right before Sydney tells him about Jason's chip and how he's their son.

They try to plot a way to leave, but the facility is heavily guarded and their are more men than they expected. Ex-Ascendancy leaders are there, and most of the CIA crew is dead or wounded.

Dixon forms a plan as Sydney works on Jason's neck, she manages to get the chip out. Vaughn slings Jason over his shoulder as Sydney and Dixon attempt to navigate outside. They meet several bad guys, but Dixon shoots them and they run away from the house with the remaining living agents. They blow up the house as they get back to their boat, and Jason wakes up. Sydney explains everything to him, and tells him they're finally going home. Sydney, Jason, and Vaughn exchange a meaningful bonding moment as they are all reunited.

Later, Mandy and Jack greet Sydney, Vaughn, and Jason at the CIA. Mandy and Sydney cry in glee to all be together safe again. Mandy stays with Vaughn as he settles paperwork and tells stories. Sydney sneaks off with Jason to a place he'd only been once before. They head up to the roof where they spy an older woman laying on the cement, basking in the sun. She turns and grins as she hears them approach. Sydney tells Jason that she'd like him to meet his grandmother. Irina is more than pleased to meet him again, and she and Sydney share a deep hug. Irina smiles as she tells Sydney she knew they would meet again.

Jason and Syd keep the grandmother visit a secret as they all go home. They are cheerfully greeted by the Weisses, Tippins, Dixons, Russells, and Flinkmans. A welcome home party follows and Jason and Chloe reunite alone in the backyard. She hugs him tightly at first, yelling at him never go away and get kidnapped ever again. He holds her hand as he assures that he's not going anywhere for a long time. They talk for a while, sitting on the porch swing. She finally asks about what really happened back during the dance and why he made out with the school whore. He admits his jealousy of her going to the dance with Brian, and tells her he told him to go suck yourself and followed up by punching him. He says he stupidly made out with Emilia for revenge. They both apologize at the same time, and they chuckle. Finally, Jason leans in a kisses her.

Later that evening after everyone leaves, Mandy and Vaughn have gone to bed but Jason and Sydney remain talking in the kitchen. She is surprised to notice thousands of features and gestures of heredity that she failed to notice before. Vaughn's eyes and charm, Jack's nose, her ears, Irina's cunning abilities...

Sydney: You're amazing, you know that?

Jason: Nah, you're the amazing one. How many people can say they've successfully broken into the Vatican?

Sydney: I've told you that story!?

Jason: Well, you just did.

Sydney: Why, you little spy!

Jason: (smirking exactly as Vaughn does) What can I say? It's in my genes.

A/n: Again, I'm sorry I just couldn't write it out normally. This fic lost it's fire long ago and with it disappeared my love for writing it. I hope this ending was acceptable due to the situation. But here is the final goodbye. Watch for my original characters elsewhere... Who knows when I'll decide they need a comeback ;)
