Chapter 31:
"Ah shit." He repeats, looking around, he was scared, if all hell breaks loose, what was he gonna do?
"Aiden?".
He freezes, "Oh you got to be shitting me.". He turns around, and there she was, the monster that made him. "I really hoped of never seeing him again.".
But she ignored his comment, she couldn't believe how much he changed, he was so tall, she steps slowly forward, placing a gentle hand on his cheek, "You've gotten so big." She said, overjoyed.
Aiden pulls back, "Send me back, now.".
"Sweetheart, I traveled across the entire galaxy, just to bring you home.".
"I was home, back on Earth, now sent me back!".
"Can't do it kid.".
Aiden freezes again, that voice, he recognizes it, but that was impossible, unless.
"You didn't.".
He slowly turns around, and there, another copy of his father stood. "Dad?".
The copy of his father, who was frozen, is standing in front of him, "Hello, son.".
"No, this isn't right, YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!". Then, Replicator Jack slaps him across the face, "I am your father! Don't disrespect me ever again!".
Replicator Carter then pushes him away, and started checking on Aiden, seeing the mark on his face. "Oh, mg baby.".
"I am fine, just back up." He places his hand over the mark, and when he removes it, the mark was gone. He discovered his healing abilities when he was sixteen, it happened after Grace got a splinter in her finger when she was crawling around on the grass, the wound was gonna get infected, he placed his hand over hers and concentrated, he had no idea why, but when he removed it, it was healed!
Replicator Carter looks at him, she places her hand on the spot where the wound was. "H-how did?".
He merely sneers, "I grew up, fast.".
Back on Earth, the SGC was doing everything possible trying to find him. But to no avail, Hayes went so far to get the pentagon involved, even NNASA. But they had no such luck, until the gate activates and help arrived. "Greetings, O'Neill, I came as soon as I could.".
Aiden was fighting hard, he didn't know what to do, he needs to prevent the replicators from invading Earth. "Look, you have me, just, leave Earth out of this, please.".
"I can't, they kidnapped you.".
"I went to them out of free will, please, I beg you.".
"No! They destroyed us! We must claim revenge! Earth will be ours.".
"Please, what about Oscar! What about my little sister!?" he slaps his hand over his mouth, what has he done?!
"You're what?" she asked.
"I have a three-year-old sister, please.".
Replicator Carter looks down to her feet, there was no way she can convince him now to leave. "What else aren't you telling me?".
He remains silent, he refuses to talk, he was not gonna spill any more beans, he stands as tall as he can, towering over his creator, and rip-off for a father. "I would rather die, then turn on Earth.".
Replicator Carter looks at her son, a tear in her eye. "Aiden, please, don't make me do this.". But her plead was for nothing. Aiden stands tall and silent. "As I said, I would rather die.".
A sharp sensation goes threw his gut, looking down, he sees a blade going threw him, and blood coming from his abdomen, he looks at her, she had tears in her eyes, "I am sorry, son. I really am.".
Replicator Jack stands there, he was shocked as well, unsure of what to do.
Aiden steps back, the blade being pulled out of his gut, Replicator Jack jumps in, catching him, and there he was, dying in the arms of an imposter, looking at him, Aiden chokes on his own blood, he moves his hand to place it over his wound, trying to heal, but he couldn't, something was wrong, but what?
Looking back into the imposter's face, blood running down his cheek from his mouth, he tries to speak, muttering out a: "Please, safe them." Before closing his eyes, excepting an everlasting darkness.
