a/n: hi, there, jandl and angelgurl6905 here! This is our story, our first combined effort and we hope you like it. The first chapter is all Alias stuff to kind of get it going, so don't worry if you're confused in the beginning. Our favorite trio will enter in the second chapter. Just as warning here are the abbreviated pairings: h/hr, s/v, w/t, l/t, d/m, g/dr, g/n, r/lu, j/I, I/v.

Here's the first chapter. We hope you like it and please review!

Chapter 1: Bad Sydney!

Sydney sighed. Another debrief. It seemed like they were happening all the time lately. She wouldn't really mind going if it weren't for the fact that she'd have to see a certain someone. A certain someone with green eyes, and uber-sexy smile that could make a girl weak at the knees, and that adorably messy hair…okay, she was getting sweaty now…bad Sydney! Bad Sydney! Cold showers…Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day…wait…naked…Vaughn naked…Okay, mind going places it should not go…bad Sydney!

She forced her mind to think of nonsexual things and sat down in the operations room, waiting for Dixon to debrief her on her mission. She hoped it was long term so she wouldn't have to see Vaughn for a while.

She tensed as Dixon, Marshall, Weiss, and her father came in. She sighed in relief when no one else came in the door. Her breath hitched in her throat as the door opened again. It was Vaughn. Everything turned to slow motion, the lights dimmed around him, and the music started running through her head, making her feel like a bad teenage movie. Everything seemed to screech to a halt as a blonde haired woman followed him in, smiling slightly. Lauren…Vaughn's wife. The woman who had stolen him away after she had "died". That cooled her down even better than a cold shower. Vaughn in the shower…bad Sydney! Focus on the mission…focus on the mission…

"We've found the head of the Covenant," announced Dixon. That grabbed Sydney's attention. "The problem is: we can't find him. He has no credit record, no flight record, nothing. The only thing he's been known to leave is dead bodies.

"We're not exactly sure where his front offices are, but since he's of British descent, we can guess it's somewhere in the U. K. We've arranged a transport to England to a school where you can hide out undercover. There's only one little problem. Marshall?"

"Well," started Marshall, "the problem is that every person has a special gene code, which you all know, or at least, I hope you do, otherwise you wouldn't have passed elementary school, and then--"

"Marshall!" yelled Jack.

"Right…ummm…Well, all the children who attend this school, have a certain gene, one that isn't found in most people, made of a protein we've never seen before. This gene gives the kids special powers, kind of like Superman…only, unlike Superman, there's no Kryptonite, although I suppose that if you put Krypton in their blood, they'd probably--"

"Marshall," prompted Dixon, "try to stay on topic."

"Right, well, we've made a blood specific gene which we'll insert into your DNA, so you can enter the school. After that, you're on your own. They don't allow electronics on the premises."

Marshall sat down and Sydney stood up as Dixon dismissed them. She barely heard him as Dixon asked her father to stay behind for a moment. She didn't see the longing look Vaughn's eyes gave her. All she saw, was a way out of L. A. and a way to finally end what had started two years before. She had things to pack and thinking to do before she left for this strange school.

Suddenly, it dawned on her--Vaughn was coming on this trip…a month long trip with Vaughn. The two of them…away from Lauren for a month…what could happen? Vaughn could forget about his wife, she could settle everything from the last two years…she could see Vaughn the way she used to see him….bad Sydney! Bad Sydney!

a/n: well, we hope you liked that first chapter. Don't forget the story really takes off in the next chapter! Please review we'd much appreciate it.

Lots of love,

Alias: Mystic
