Author's Notes:
This is a sequel to "Kids Will Be Kids" so give that story a gander before you indulge in this lil fic. And…nothing from the XF is mine.

Introduction
He did the only thing he could think of doing after his parents had sat him down. After they had stared him in the eye and revealed all sorts of stories about his and their lives.
He called Dee. Why? He wasn't sure. He couldn't take the rational conversationalist Mel tended to be. Everything he was told was irrational and so unreal, so that was the way he was to handle it. Irrationally.
He brought Dee over to the new house he was living at. With his new parents. His real parents. He ignored their curious glances as he pulled his ex girlfriend back to his room.
She sat on his bed staring up at him, obviously not expecting what he was to tell her. Her eyes grew wide and her body tensed as he unraveled the convoluted truths of his past and his future. He knew he wasn't supposed to tell. He knew it was a mistake. And that's why he did it.
He stared her in the eye as his parents had and told her that he was part alien due to an injection his real uncle had obscured in him when he was a baby. He told her colonization had been put off from 2012 until the aliens located him. He was the link. He was the link that they wanted to kill.
She didn't react well to say the least. She assumed he was using metaphors to deal with the recent and unwanted changes in his life.
She told him she was sorry things weren't going well for him but no matter how pathetic his future seemed to be for him, she did not want any part in it. He walked her to the door and she left with a simple pat on his back and a sympathetic glance.
He could feel his parent's eyes on him but he didn't want to face them. Not yet.
He just wanted to be alone.
