WARNING: Swearing!

8 – Revenge

"It's the middle of the night, Luxie. Don't you think they'll kick us out?" Blaze asked as Alec parked the car. The three of the sat and looked up at the farmhouse.

"Okay, is it time for me to know what's going on?" Blaze shook her head.

"Sorry, bub, ain't none of your business," Luxie said and Alec sighed. "This is strictly girl stuff." She turned to Blaze. "Not you, they won't. Come on." Luxie jumped out of the car and then dragged Blaze from her seat. Alec got out and leaned on the car. They didn't tell him, so he had to see it for himself.

Two looked angry and Zack was quite sure that this time it wasn't his fault.

"What's the matter?" he began saying but at the same time Styl was asking the same question.

"That's real smart," Two growled. "Someone's coming." The three of them were standing behind the house not wanting to wake Delilah and Trent. Zack and Styl looked at him. It seemed like he knew something.

"What?" Zack asked.

"You bastard," Two growled. He went into an offensive position. "You fucking bastard." Zack reverted to defensive mode. If Two was going to attack him, he wasn't going to take any chances. Two jumped and Zack easily dodged the punch and slammed his elbow into the wolf's back.

"Zack!" Styl gasped as Two staggered forward.

"Aww, you gotta do better than that," Two said with a smirk across his face. He stood up and rolled his shoulders. "Broken my back twice already." He slid forward and mock punched Zack. Instead he slammed his knee into the other X5's stomach. Zack doubled over and when his first leg was down Two used his second to kick Zack in the stomach again. Zack fell to the ground and Two went to kick him but Styl held him back.

"Stop, Two!" she yelled. Two wrenched his arm free from her and pushed her aside. Zack stumbled up and punched Two in the face. His second hand came around and hit Two in the shoulder. Two growled as he felt his arm suffer under the blow.

"Two," Blaze said her eyes wide and began running around the house.

"What?" Luxie said. Alec watched Blaze run off and then turned to Luxie who shrugged. "Must be super-nose." Then the two of them followed the wolf-girl.

Zack was sitting on Two punching him. Two had no way to move and blood was already coming out of his mouth.

"Zack!" Styl yelled. "Zack, stop it!" She turned seeing Blaze arrive who was gaping at the scene before her. Despite his face being pounded on Two was grinning, he'd experienced worse.

"Two!" Luxie exclaimed when seeing the boy on the floor. Zack looked up at the arrival of a new voice and Two took the opportunity to push Zack off himself and stumbled back. He was in a bad condition but he'd survive. "Whee, blood. Popcorn anyone?" Luxie said sarcastically. Zack and Styl gave her a sideward glance, the others had already come to learn her strange use of words.

"Zack," Blaze muttered slowly. He had blood running down the side of his mouth as well and the way he held his stance, Two must have broken a rib or two. Blaze turned to her brother. "What did you do?" she yelled. She looked angry, she smelt angry and it seemed like she'd attack him any moment and possible break some more bones. Two breathed out deeply. He couldn't tell her why he'd done it. She'd never understand. She didn't love him the way he loved her.

"Zack? The Zack?" Alec said slowly. Zack's eyes widened when he saw the clone of his brother.

"Ben?"

"Oh, no. I'm his normal, non-homicidal clone, Alec," he said with a smirk.

"Er…" Luxie said slowly. "How about we introduce each other quickly, so there will be more name saying with a question mark behind it, kay?" She got a few looks. "Okay. Hi, my name is Luxie and I'm a transgenic." The others continued looking. "You're supposed to go 'Hi Luxie'," she said with a grin. Nothing. "Okay. That's Two, I suspect that's Zack. Blaze. Alec. And strange girl whose name hasn't been mentioned yet."

"Styl," the small girl introduced herself. "What's going on?"

"Good question," Alec asked. "Luxie, care to elaborate?" he asked with a glare at the girl. Luxie grinned and glanced at Blaze.

"I wanted to see Zack," Blaze said hanging her head low. Zack looked at the girl in confusion. Blaze could feel her brother's anger rising. She knew Two had never been the most supportive of her decisions and she knew that he could do a good deal of damage if he had too. But she smelt the strength that Zack possessed and if Two were to try and attack Zack, he'd be the first to go.

"Why?" Alec asked. He knew, but he just wanted to hear if from her.

"Because," Blaze said still not looking at anyone. Luxie glanced at her nails. The six of them stood in silence for a while.

"Where are the others?" Luxie asked looking at Two. Everyone looked at her again. She asked the strangest questions at all the wrong times.

"Lost 'em. Got hunted."

"And… why are you running your face in Zack's fist?"

"Felt like a good idea at the time," he said with a shrug. Blaze was quite confused at the sarcasm she heard in his voice because she wasn't accustomed to it. Luxie nodded in agreement with the statement. She didn't mind the sarcasm, because she ws the one who taught him.

"Zack, why are you doing the opposite?"

"He attacked me," Zack defended himself. Luxie nodded and Alec looked at her sideways. Clever girl was trying to find out what was going on.

"Girl. What's your side of the story?"

"It's Styl," the blonde girl hissed. She was quite upset that this stupid girl couldn't remember name. "My side?"

"In your own words, what happened?" Luxie asked slowly. She felt that Styl was being stupid although the two of them were the same age. "From the top."

"We found Two last night and offered to let him stay here. Last night I felt people coming for Zack and we decided to fight you. Two got angry and attacked Zack," she said.

"Short and simple. Good girl. Okay, Two. Why?"

"It's none of your business," he hissed. Luxie nodded.

"I understand," she said slowly. "I thought that was the case."

"What?" Blaze asked impatiently. Why was her idol beating on her brother? And why had Two started this fight in the first place?

"Oh, it's really none of my business," Luxie said with a wide grin and received several glares. "Cept… nah."

It was almost an hour later when everyone had finally calmed down and they were sitting by a large field. Luxie still hadn't said anything and everyone else was still clueless as what to do.

"Okay," Luxie said slowly. "Since I'm the genius in this relationship. Let's do some partner work."

"Luxie," Alec growled. "Can you just tell us what's going on and we can get this over with?"

"Shush. Two, please come with me," she said with a sweet smile. He glared. "Blaze, Zack, you go talk." Two rose angrily and before he could object, Luxie grabbed his hand and skipped off.

When they were far enough from the group so that not even super-hearing would be of any use, Luxie stopped and looked at Two.

"So?" she said with a friendly smile. Two glared.

"What the hell is your problem?"

"Language," she said. "Look, I know you love Blaze and all but there's no need to be beating on Zack for that. She's still the person she was back at Manticore except that she's experienced the wonders of freedom. Zack gave her that and that's that."

"Stop using the word 'that' please," Two said rolling his eyes. Luxie grinned at him.

"That's that. If you want to beat on anyone, beat on Alec. Cept, don't," she reconsidered. "Two, she'll never like you the way you like her. You're her brother, albeit her strange almost-homicidal brother, but that's all you are to her, and that's how much she'll love you."

"You're a freak."

"One of the best."

Zack had lead blushing Blaze away from the group, but not far enough so that Styl and Alec couldn't hear the conversation. She said nothing and stared at the ground.

"So…" Zack said slowly. "How do you know me?" Because he sure as hell didn't know who she was. She was obviously related to Two somehow and most probably the reason he'd gone all psycho, but where was Zack in this.

"I… It started back in '09," Blaze muttered. "When your unit ran."

"I remember," Zack said because none of the '09ers would ever forget that night.

"Before that, when I found out that your unit had names, like real people, I did the same. I was the alpha, the leader of my unit, and I gave the others names too. When you ran, I ran."

"You've been out of Manticore for all this time, too?" Blaze looked up and nodded. "How come no one ever mentioned it." Blaze smiled a little.

"Because 12 kids in one unit running is far more dangerous than one from an assassination unit. They trained them to kill me, so that was simple enough," Blaze said with a shrug. It hurt talking about it, but it was the truth and she had to get over it.

"I'm sorry," Zack said. "And Two?"

"He was second in command, he's the alpha now. I met him sometime ago but he left. I thought I'd never see him again."

"And me?"

"Luxie made me come and find you. She's weird."

"I noticed." He looked over to the group and saw skipping Luxie and sulking Two return to Styl and Alec. "He still gonna try and kill me?"

"He'll want to but I'm sure Luxie messed with his mind a bit. She's an expert." Zack smiled.

Awww… yeah, like anything happened there rolls eyes I'm very sorry…

Anyways, Zack and Two are all bloody and no one's really happy, cept for Luxie but she's weird and freaky and an expert mind-messer, so… yeah. I was kinda hoping for a Zack/Blaze kiss there, but that never happened… I should kick the author… oh, wait…

Next chapter there's more Heresy, White and Hunter stuff…
