As Mulder was confronting CSM, Scully awoke to an empty office. She tried
to stand up, but fell back down every time she roused. She felt dizzy and
confused. She knew she was still at work, but what she was doing on the
floor was a mystery.
She hung her head low and cupped her hands around her face. She didn't feel well at all, but she couldn't get up. She called out for help, it wasn't like her to be so easily scared and worried, but she didn't have any recollection as to what had happened.
"Hello!!!! Can anyone hear me?! Is there anybody out there?! I need help damn it! Gees, there's never anyone here when you need a hand, yet any other time we'd have all sorts of crap hanging around outside."
"Talking to yourself Agent Scully? That's one of the first signs of madness."
"Oh and you'd know all about that I'll bet."
"Having trouble with your feet?"
"Damn it what the hell have you done to me!! You know I can't stand up."
"Oh dear. Well, there won't be a need for anymore shouting. No one will come to you. You're in Fox-Spooky-Mulder's basement office."
"Actually it's our office. Didn't quite get that far with him when you were on the X-Files did you Fowley? Never had your name above the door next to Mulders."
"I don't need to share a door with him, I've shared more than enough with him already. I'll always be the one Agent Scully. He'd never pick you over me."
"Oh yeah? Well we'll see."
"No, I don't think you understand. He knows you're in danger, but he's gone to meet me at his apartment."
"And you don't think he'll come straight here afterwards?"
"Why would he? He wants to be with me."
"And you're here."
"I'm everywhere Agent Scully."
"What the hell are you talking about? You shouldn't be anywhere!! You were dead, people were safer with you out of the picture."
"You were you mean, because you had Fox all to yourself. Well, not everything is how it seems to be Agent Scully."
Diana turned around and opened the door. She shouted out some numbers and four more people joined them. Scully tried standing up and managed to get to her feet, but she had to keep herself propped up by the wall, she tried reaching the chair, but could hardly move. She didn't even have the energy to look up at Diana, who had been joined by her accomplices.
"Agent Scully these are some friends of mine. We're close, you could say we were like family."
Scully lifted her head to see not one, not two, but five Diana Fowleys standing in front of her.
"What the hell's going on? How are you interfering with my vision? What did you inject me with?!"
Diana laughed at Scully's attempts to still deny what her own eyes were showing her.
"Even when the proof that you always beg Fox for before you'll listen to his stories is shoved right in your eyes, you won't accept it."
"Accept what?"
"The truth Agent Scully. The truth is we are not alone. The truth is extraterrestrials have inhabited our planet longer than any other life form, they created everything, we're here because of them."
"I think you're full of crap Fowley, and I don't trust you for a second. Aliens are crap, stories to scare young children and make movies about."
"We are not all the same on the inside Agent Scully. In this room we are all different."
One of the clones turned themselves into the alien bounty hunter and took a small injection out of his pocket. He looked at Diana and she nodded at him. He pushed Scully to the floor and again injected her. After just a few moments she was out cold.
"We must leave before Mulder arrives, he will want to check on her after his meeting with smoking man."
"I know. I just have to leave something for her first."
Diana leaned over Scully and slipped a small piece of paper into her pocket. She smiled to herself and followed the others out. She'd got to Scully, now she'd meet up with her other clones and see how they'd got on with Mulder at his apartment.
All she needed was one piece of information, one small fact that her life depended on. She held Scully's life in her hands, but CSM held hers. And no matter what happened she wanted Mulder, and she was personally going to get Scully out of the picture for good.
She hung her head low and cupped her hands around her face. She didn't feel well at all, but she couldn't get up. She called out for help, it wasn't like her to be so easily scared and worried, but she didn't have any recollection as to what had happened.
