Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Dark Angel characters. They belong to James Cameron, Charles Eglee, and Fox. But Mackenzie, Benjamin, and any other character you are not familiar with are mine.

AN: Here's chapter seven. Hopefully it'll be better than the last one.

Mackenzie opened her eyes only to be blinded by light. As her eyes adjusted to the light she looked around the room she was in. "Ah, the lovely Terminal City infirmary," she said to herself as she saw the other beds, and medical supplies.

"Your awake." she heard Benjamin say as he walked over to the bed, she was lying in.

"Yes I am, Benji. I mean B.J." Mackenzie mumbled, looking at him.

"Nice save."

"I thought so to. I guess I gotta be more careful."

"Yea. So how you feeling?" Benjamin questioned sitting down at the end of the bed.

"Pretty good, considering I was shot."

"I guess that's good."

"So.... what's the scoop on mystery man?"

"I'm not exactly sure what the scoop on mystery man is yet. 'Cause he wouldn't answer me, so I kinda knocked him out. We're still waiting for him to regain consciousness. All we know is he's a transgenic. We think he's working for someone who wants Eyes Only dead. And Max and Logan are beginning to wonder how we knew he was there. Me and your dad are running out of things to say."

"You mean your parents. You know you could always tell them the truth."

"Like they'd believe it."

"My dad did."

"Well your dad... is your dad."

"Hey, you made me tell him the truth. So you gotta tell them the truth. It's only fair."

"Kenzie the world isn't fair."

"So? Your point is?"

"I ain't telling them."

"Fine then, don't tell them."

"Are you trying to use reverse psychology on me?

"No I'm not. You know I feel real special."

"Why? Because you got shot?"

"No. Because I'm the only one in this place."

"Not really."

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

"Well Shawn's here."

"Shawn is who exactly?"

"He's an X5. Runs the infirmary."

"Funny. A don't remember an X5 named Shawn running the infirmary."

"That's 'cause when we were growing up, you were scared to come within ten feet of the building. Unless you were with your dad."

"I was not scared! I just didn't like it."

"Whatever you say Kenzie. Well I think I'm gonna go. I want to see if mystery man has woken up yet."

"You mean your gonna leave me all alone here in the infirmary?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"Aren't you a nice friend. If it were you lying here, I'd stay to keep you company."

"I doubt that."

"Why do you doubt that?"

"'Cause you'd be just as anxious as I am to get answers."

"True..." Mackenzie trailed off.

"So I'll come back later, k?"

"Ok." Mackenzie sighed. "But you better come back."

Benjamin laughed. "Don't worry. I will."

"Good."

"See ya."

"Bye." Mackenzie watched as Benjamin left the infirmary. Sighing, she looked up at the roof, and began to count the tiles. After a couple minutes she got bored of it, and looked around again. Mackenzie was bored, and tired. Closing her eyes she soon managed to drift off to sleep.

"She's gonna be fine Alec." Mackenzie heard someone say as she slowly woke up. "Go say hi. She's probably waking up now, she's been asleep for a few hours."

Mackenzie didn't hear a reply so she opened her eyes to see Alec walking towards her. "How are you?" He asked as he got closer.

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Mackenzie questioned.

"Who's everyone?"

"Ok... not everyone. Only you and Benji."

Alec laughed. "You didn't answer my question. How are you?"

"I'm fine. I want to get up and wonder around. Oh, give me the scoop on mystery man."

"He's a transgenic."

"I know that much, I was already told that. Anything new? Or is he still unconscious?"

"He's conscious, just not telling us anything."

"You should let me talk to him. I could probably get him to tell us something. Please. I need to get out of here."

Alec looked at her, her eyes pleading him. "I guess... if Shawn says it'll be ok. I'll go talk to him."

Mackenzie smiled. "Kay." As Alec turned and walked in the other direction Mackenzie said to herself, "That look always works."

One Hour Later

"Mackenzie what are you doing here?" Max questioned as Mackenzie and Alec walked into the room, in HQ, that they had the transgenic in.

"I managed to convince Alec to let me come here, 'cause I think I can get some answers." she replied, glancing across the room where Benjamin was yelling at the transgenic. "B.J. let me take over, and show you how its done."

Benjamin shot her a glance and said, "Fine take over if you want to."

"Thank you." Mackenzie walked past Benjamin and shot him a smile, before pulling a chair in front of the transgenic and sitting down. She looked at him briefly before slightly lifting the shirt she was wearing to look at the large piece of gauze that now covered it. "You know this is your fault right? Because it is I think I deserve a couple answers here. First off, what series are you? You look like X5, maybe. Am I right?" The transgenic looked at her, but didn't say anything. "You're lucky we don't just start off with torture. Well I could. I think it's only fair that I shoot you, because after all you shot me." Mackenzie said taking in his pail complexion, light brown hair, and green eyes.

"You weren't the target." the transgenic said in reply.

"And he speaks." Mackenzie smirked. "So who was your target then?"

"Eyes Only."

"Who sent you? White?"

"No."

"Then who?" There was no reply. "Who sent you." Mackenzie repeated through gritted teeth. Again there was no reply. "Fine back to my first question, what's your name? Mines Mackenzie."

"Larry."

"Nice to meet you Larry. You're X5 right?" Larry nodded.

"So you gonna tell me who sent you? Or am I gonna have to shoot you to find out?"

Larry looked at her intently, unsure of what to do. "His names Albert Sian."

"Now I have a name. You gonna tell me how you ended up working for this Albert Sian?" Larry didn't reply, all he did was look away from Mackenzie. "Fine. Don't tell me. But I think I talked myself out, so I'm gonna go lie down. Don't think you've gotten rid of me. I'll be back. And you'll tell me everything I want to know." Once said Mackenzie slowly got up and walked over to where Max, Alec, and Benjamin were standing. "By any chance is there somewhere I can lie down here? I'm not feeling to good anymore. And I don't feel like trying to walk all the way to the infirmary."

"There's a couch in my office." Alec replied.

"Great. Lead the way." She smiled, and quietly followed Alec out of the room and to his office.

She lied down on the couch as soon as they got there and closed her eyes. "How did you do that? We've been trying to do that for awhile now. " Alec questioned her when he closed the door.

"Why didn't you just torture him? Would of got answers out of him that way sooner or later."

"Max didn't want to risk it. So how did you do it?"

"It's a talent of mine. I think I got it from my mom."

"Oh." Silence filled the room for a minute before Alec said, "I'm gonna go see if they managed to get anything else out of him."

"You do that. Try not to yell... might work better."

"Yea. Think I'll try that."

"Mmm hmm. I'm gonna sleep. Oh next time you come back this way, can you bring food?"

"Sure." Alec said leaving the office.

"Thank you!" Mackenzie called after him.

AN: Ok, I think that was worse than the last chapter. O well. And the reason why is I wanted to get this chapter up fast, because, this is the last update for probably a week and a half... or maybe two weeks. See my mom's planning on bringing the computer tower in to get cleaned... and she keeps telling me we won't get it back for a week, which makes it kinda hard to update...lol. But we'll see, maybe when I get the computer back I'll have a chapter waiting for me to type out, and post. You never know. Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Newly Human- I think I'll use different nicknames for baby Benjamin and future Benjamin, if you think it'll make it easier. lol. I'll just start it in the next chapter, if I remember to. I'll most likely stick with Benjamin for little Benjamin, and use Benji for future Benjamin. Does that sound good? Or I could always do it the other way around. But anyway, thanks for the review and I'm glad you liked the chapter.

serenia-sd- Here's my update. lol. I don't know why I didn't love it as well. I think it might be because I feel like I could of wrote it better. But o well, at least you enjoyed it :). Thanks for the review.

Cat- I've been told by a lot of people that I have a great imagination. lol. If I do end up writing a prequel, I probably won't post it till I'm close to finishing this one.

Katherine- Want to hear a funny story? I had been planning on writing who killed Logan and why in the last chapter, but it wasn't till after I posted it that I realized I forgot to answer the questions. Hehe. Anyway, I hope this chapter answered those questions. Thanks for the review.
