Chapter Three: The Truth…


Donna's Cell 8:15 pm

"Alex…?" Donna blinked her eyes twice staring blankly at Alex as if she was a ghost.

"How would you know then?" Alex repeated her question as Donna slowly rose up from her bed and walked towards Alex.

"Because I know you don't feel the same as I do."

"How do you know if I don't feel the same as you do?"

"Because … I'm your enemy. And besides… you won't like anything about me."

"How do you know that I won't like anything about you?"

Alex remained stuck with Donna's lonely eyes. And continued asking her why…

"I don't know." Donna turned her face to her back and forced herself to the words.

"Just go… I don't need your sympathy! And stop giving me false hopes…" Alex opened the lock silently and stepped inside the cell while Donna didn't notice it.

"Donna…" Alex whispered as she gently embraced Donna from the back. Donna blushed as she felt Alex embracing her and had to ask her.

"Alex… why do you torture me so?"

"Please stop forcing yourself to believe those lies…"

"Lies?" Donna faced her a bit and saw a glimpse of the worried expression carved on Alex's face.

"That I don't love you…" she simply said and smiled at her. Alex held Donna's red face and pulled her in.

"I love you Donna… just as much as you do." She kissed Donna lovingly and even though this had taken Donna aback she kissed her as well. After they broke up all Donna was able to do is smile at her.

"Thank you." She embraced Alex and caressed the brunette's raven black hair as this is all she can do for her love.

"Donna… there's still another thing why I went here." Donna pushed Alex away and they sat on her bed.

"What is it?"

"Why had you stolen the project?" Donna's eyes widened as Alex said it.

"Who told you I stole it? What made you think I'm stealing it then? I was merely returning it."

"Returning it?"

"Yeah, I was ordered personally by my father to return it to a certain professor whom was claiming it."

"But… the professor who did it had died already while conducting an experimental stage on those projects as the files said."

"Yeah that's what the files said but he was only missing… I don't know the reason but he hid himself and waited for the right time to reclaim it."

"Professor Juno?"

"No… his name now is Professor X …what a lousy name… anyway, you mean to say that my father was fooled by that old fool?" Alex nodded as Donna gritted her teeth angrily.

"All of us… he had fooled all of us. And another thing I think he's the old lady who helped us."

"How did you know that?"

"A wild guess."

"And Donna… what agency are you working for?" Donna smiled and took out a badge. Alex stared at it and at first she though it was merely a glass shaped like a badge then when she looked closer she saw two guns forming an x and a wolf on a cliff below of it.

"Top Agents Military Ensemble… a highly secret organization of the underground connections of numerous countries around the world. We specialize in securing important missions and objects. And our security have no match around the world even this Head quarters."

"Then why didn't you escape…?" Donna gave a shy smile and looked at her.

"I don't want to cause you any more troubles. If I really wanted to I could've escaped from here hours ago."

"As I was saying, our organization is so secret that even other secret world organizations don't know much about us."

"I think you're right there." Jerry suddenly appeared with Sam and Clover.

"So had the two of you talked things over now?" Clover grinned and gave Alex a meaningful look while the two blushed. Alex obviously wanted to change the topic as she turned to Jerry.

"Yes and Jerry, do you really have no idea about T.A.M.E.?"

"Not much…I had heard of them before but they were considered urban myths because either they really don't exist or their agents are that highly skilled that no one knows them even though they undergo serious missions. And sometimes I've heard that another reason why their agents are so skilled is because since childhood they're already trained everyday to be a professional agent. Is that right then Donna?" he gave a grim expression to Donna who stood up and faced Jerry.

"Yes… and each is very difficult indeed. But I'm a failure."

"But now we should focus on how capturing X…" Sam said as Donna smiled at her.

"Yes and that'll be the easy part."

"Huh?" they faced Donna's happy face with their blank ones.

"I've put a tracking device inside the first package. And I'm sure he hadn't opened it yet because if it did then my special wristwatch will alert me." All of them cheered as Jerry stepped out of the cell.

"Jerry… where are you going?" Sam asked as he grinned.

"I'm going to alert the agency that Donna isn't an enemy anymore but a spy as well. And girls… be careful as always okay?" he bid and left the place whistling.

"Now back to business… so… are you two ahem… on now?" Clover grinned at the suddenly red faced couple.

"Not yet… I haven't asked her yet."

"Oh… how cute… the two of you are blushing at the same time." Sam added as Clover just giggled.

"Stop it."

"So… Donna… when will you ask our dear friend Alex to be your girlfriend then?" Clover pressed on the topic as Donna blushed furiously. While Alex just glared at Clover.

"Clover…"

"Maybe…" the trio turned to Donna with bated breath as she paused and took in a deep breath.

"… After the mission and when all things had cleared out then maybe…" Donna took Alex hand and faced her sweetly.

"… I'll ask you to be my girlfriend…?" Alex blush deepened to a darker hue.

"Oh… she's so sweet Alex… you are so suited for each other." Clover joked as Sam suddenly frowned.

"Hey guys sorry to interrupt but umm shouldn't we…"

"Oh sorry I forgot. Let's go follow the tracking device then Sam," Donna seriously said and let go of Alex's hand.

When the two left the other two looked at them.

"Donna really is serious when she's on a mission don't you think. She and Sam have a lot in common; intelligent, serious thinker and a good agent." Clover said wonderingly as they followed them.

"Yeah…I suppose,"

Then they took out the WHOOP jet plane and headed for the signal the device shows on the special wrist watch of Donna.

"Northeast of here. In Canada? Is that where your headquarters are?" Sam asked as Donna shook her head.

"No…? We're a bit near Washington."

"Oh… then why did you put a tracking device in the first package Donna and how did you know that X won't open it yet."

"It's because he told me something he shouldn't have before I left for the mission."

"What is it?" Alex asked as Sam nodded.

"He told me that he wouldn't be able to operate it alone with out the other part yet so he needs the other and enough time to concentrate on what's he's planning."

"So what's so suspicious about that then?" Clover cut in as Donna smiled.

"He only told us that he want to get it back but he made a promise with dad that when we return it… he won't use it for at least a year because dad suspects something about him as well. Then when he was giving me the layout of the NURL building he told me that he's planning to use it so… in short."

"He accidentally slipped that he was going to use it and thus breaking a promise to your dad." Sam murmured finally realizing what made Donna betray the orders. Donna nodded and continued.

"So… suspecting him as well I slipped in a very small tracking device inside it when I was handing it over to him."

"That's amazing. So how small is the device… do you have an example?" Clover asked while Alex just watched her love took out a very small box then carefully opened it to them.

"But that's just an ant…" Clover said as they saw the black dot moving inside it but for some reasons it can't get out.

"Look more closely Clover…" Donna took out a hand lens and they peek through it.

"It's a robotic ant. Wow… your agency seems more advance than ours." Sam exclaimed quietly as she stared at the ant.

"Yes… but we don't rely on gadgets that much. My father believes that a true agent don't have to rely on an object just to finish a mission. And that knowledge and power is needed more than that." She paused as she saw that they're getting nearer to a big mansion.

Professor X's Hideout (Mansion) 11:45 pm

"That mansion looks like a page torn out from a horror comic book. Honestly, I don't know why our enemies have such bad taste in picking up their houses." Clover said as they landed on the damp forest ground.

"Okay, I don't know much of the mansion's map since I've been there for only one time and I've also been blindfolded. But my tracker can help us in it so all we have to worry about is the traps and evade the laser detectors X readied for intruders And also the big bodyguards he always had." She knowledgably said as Sam look at Donna's device and smiled at her.

"Well I think that'll be the quicker method for us in getting in won't it Donna?" Donna grinned as they all sprinted towards the high wall surrounding the huge mansion. After they climbed the wall wearing the stealth jackets Jerry gave them they were halfway to the tracking device when Clover sneezed behind a big bald guy who automatically saw her because when she sneezed her hood feel off her head.

He tried to grab Clover but she jumped out of his grasp as Alex tripped him and gave him a powerful blow behind his neck.

"Good going Alex! Thanks" Clover exclaimed as they continued to run. Alex grinned but blushed when she saw Donna smiling at her too.

"No problem."

"Wait! The tracking device is moving… X must have decided to use it even without the other part… we have to hurry!" Donna exclaimed and notioned to them to follow her.

"Where is it heading then?" Sam asked as Donna looked at it again.

"On top of the north wing tower of the mansion. Probably planning to board a helicopter. What the! Clover!" Clover grabbed Donna's arm and shook her head.

"If you said he's going to ride a helicopter then these might help us." She pointed to the Jet Pack Bag Pack behind her then grinned. Then she and Sam stepped on the window and waved.

"Alex we're going now you'll be the one to carry her see yah!" and with that Sam and Clover pressed a button then they took off.

"Well…" Alex started but Donna is way ahead of her.

"It's okay… Let's get that creep now shall we?" Donna smiled at her comfortingly as Alex smiled as well. She embraced Donna and then they headed for the tower.

But when they got there Sam and Clover is having a hard time fighting X. Since X seems to have an army of droids that were especially designed for fighting.

"Alex, Donna, we can use a little help here!" Clover yelled as a droid almost ripped her hair off "HEY! I've just gotten it styled last Saturday!" and then she kicked that droid and sent it flying over Donna's head.

"Good thing you're here now you traitor! What will your father just say to you then huh? What a pathetic excuse for a daughter." A snickering voice called as the droids stopped attacking and their heads turned to the voice's direction.

Then they saw a white haired guy with a black eye patch over his right eye and a huge noticeable scar across his face.

"I've heard from your father that ever since you were born to this world he made you to be the most perfect agent in the TAME. So that you'll make up for his mistakes but you… you failed his wishes and betrayed the orders given to you directly by your own dad." He sneered. Alex turned her head to Donna and she saw Donna gritted her teeth in anger.

"SHUT UP!"

"Give us the project or else…"

"Or else what? You are in no position to give orders Donna. Or else your dad just might get angrier with you." Then he opened the helicopter's door revealing a man with the same hair color as Donna. And with the same eyes as Donna but only it's with fiery anger.

"Dad!"

The man stepped out of the copter and walked straight to his daughter.

Clover started to walk but Sam held her hand and shook her head.

"It's none of our business Clover. Let's leave them alone." She nodded in reply and watched the pair.

"You're a shame to the whole family!" he yelled as he slapped Donna on the face forcefully as she regained her stance.

"I have my reasons why I disobeyed your orders for the first time! What does it matters anyway! I've tried to be the best for you for ever since I can remember! Why does it matter now that I've failed just one mission!" she yelled back as she kicked and punched her father's abdomen. He backed away but continued to attack as well.

"Because one mission is as important as it matters because the whole world's fate relies on it! And you! You've endangered other people's lives the moment you decided to fail it! NO REASONS ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR ENDANGERING THE WORLD'S SAFETY!" he punched his daughter on the face causing her to let out some blood.

"DONNA!" Alex exclaimed as she felt a cold shiver went throughout her body. She started to run towards her when Donna noticed this she tried to stop her. But she couldn't because her body is still succumbing to the blow she have just received.

"NO ALEX DON'T!" Alex protectively embraced Donna and glared at Donna's dad.

"It's not her fault why she failed at her mission, it was my entire fault. I was the cause why she failed at it. If I weren't there then she would have delivered it with no problems whatsoever." She argued stubbornly as Donna's father merely looked at her as if she was just a mere speck of dust on his new shoes.

"So you're saying that Donna just let herself be taken by you? I don't believe my daughter had been defeated by a frail girl like you!" he scorned as this made Donna strong enough to stand on her feet.

"I wasn't beaten by her, we hadn't even fought yet."

"Then how the heck did she became the reason why you failed!"

She hesitated to reply for a second then took her courage and held Alex's hand. Then bravely faced her father.

"I loved her. I saved her during the mission and that's the reason why I failed." She just finished her words when her face received another powerful blow from her dad's fist.

"Donna…" Donna stood up again and took her fighting stance and grinned.

"I'm alright Alex. Don't worry."

While they were fighting over there however, X is trying to get away with the package. Sam noticed this and she caught his arm and sprayed him with the Freezing Perfume without getting Donna's dad's attention.

"Good job Sam, but what should we do with him? Should we call Jerry now since now that we've finished the mission…"

"no… the mission is not finished yet Clover."

"Huh?"

She pointed to the Donna and her dad then sadly smiled at her.

"Yes… she should explain everything to her dad as well."

"So you're a damn fucking lesbian is that it then? The girl I brought up is a traitor, a disgrace and a lesbian!" he growled in anger as he gave another sidekick heading towards Donna's abdomen but she jumped quickly and prepared for a powerful combo for her father.

"So what if I'm a lesbian! I'm not a robot to be controlled all the time! I have a soul dad! And…" she kicked her father's stomach "IT'S-…" Then punched him on his left cheek "-MY-…" then a chop on his neck to make him unconscious. "-LIFE!" she shouted at him as he dropped on the ground unconsciously.

"It's my life and I'm going to do what I want with it but I'm still very sorry for my failures dad. Sorry to be a disgrace." She panted a bit tiredly and then turned her head towards the three who is now waiting for her to speak up.

"I'm alright but I think we'll need Jerry to explain everything to my stubborn and foolish heck of a dad."

"Good thing too… I was starting to worry where your fight might end up." Sam sighed as Clover phoned Jerry. And while they're talking to Jerry, Alex and Donna are talking about something.

"Donna… I'm so sorry…"

"What do you mean sorry? Look… it's not your fault. My failed mission, my dad's anger… it's all my fault so don't take it. In fact I should be the one who's sorry… I shouldn't have let dad and me be fooled by that old crackpot anyway." She shrugged as she sat on the edge of the tower.

"But what about your dad Donna? Even after Jerry explained that situation to him… he might not still even try to understand our relationship. He might not even accept you as his daughter anymore." She frowned and sat beside her as well.

"So…?" she offhandedly said as she stared at an annoyed Alex.

"Don't you care if your father disapprove of our relationship?" her supposedly angry voice starting to fail her because of the careless expression etched on Donna's face.

"So…?" was the same reply. And this just made her more frustrated.

"So why don't you care about it!" she finally yelled. But Donna suddenly took her and embraced her.

"Donna…?" she faced Alex and touched her face comfortingly.

"I don't care about what he'll think of us because all that matters to me is that you'll be safe and that I'll still be allowed to love you… to hold you like this… and to kiss you like this as well…" she finished as she kissed Alex.

"Alex, Donna…! Jerry just told us…" Clover was about to say what he just said but blushed as she saw the two kissing each other intimately.

"Clover! Don't look at them like that!" Sam sermoned as she jerked Clover's head with hanging jaws to another direction.

"Don't you have manners when someone is doing that! Come on let's help those guys in carrying Donna's dad to the helicopter." Sam continued as Clover sweatdropped and followed her.

"What's important to me is that you'll be fine Alex. For whatever I do you'll always be first that matters." Alex closed her eyes and rested on Donna's chest.

"Thank you Donna. Thank you just so much."

"You're welcome Alex. Now let's go to the others… I think they're finish calling Jerry by now." She let goes of Alex and stood up quickly.

"Yes I think you're right." Donna offered her hand and helped Alex stand up then they walked to the two with their hands together.

When they saw the two a helicopter was taking off then they also saw two more copters next to the Sam and Clover.

"Those guys are gonna take him to WHOOP then Jerry will try his best to explain everything to him. And Jerry told us that we have a weekend off so he's given us these helicopters as a reward for the mission. So…" Sam started to smile as the two of them looked meaningfully at the couple.

"Have fun you two!" Clover grinned annoyingly as they boarded the copter and took off.

Donna and Alex entered the copter then both were silent for a while until Donna tapped Alex's shoulder.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong…? Alex?"

"Donna… promise me that no matter what happen… we'll always be there for each other and that we'll always love one another… and also that you'll never ever leave me" Donna smiled and took her hand.

"Why suddenly say such things Alex?"

"Just tell it to me please." She rested her head on Donna's shoulder and gazed upon her eyes.

"Of course… hey look at the horizon Alex… the sun is starting to rise…" she murmured as they both watched the sun rising up from the thin line separating the sea and the skies.

(Yes… I just wish we'll always be together as well Alex… I also promise you that no matter what happens… I won't let you go from me… and I won't ever leave you alone…)

A year after, Alex was killed by an underground agent Donna's dad sent… Donna wasn't able to live without Alex and so she suicided by letting herself be killed by an enemy during a mission a week later. Donna's dad realized his mistakes and lived his remaining days on earth with regret and misery.

"Alex… where are you?" I looked around me but all I saw is a lot of snowy mists.

"I'm here waiting for you Donna… welcome back…" Alex appeared besides me and so I embraced her… she wasn't dead… she's warm… does that mean I'm dead too?

"Had you been waiting for such a long time now? I'm sorry…" I apologized but she just simply kissed me tenderly on the cheek and smiled.

"It's alright… I knew you'll follow me and that we'll be together again Donna… so come on…" she raised her hand, offering it to take me somewhere.

"Why?" I looked at her hand then back at her face.

"We'll go somewhere…"

"Where?"

"To a place where we'll be together forever…"

"So will you come then Donna?"

"Of course Alex… any where as long as I'll be with you" we both smiled at each other as I took her hand… then a bright shining light came upon the two of us… Alex… I felt her hand slipping away from me so I embraced her.

"Don't worry Donna… I won't leave you again."

"Neither will I let myself be lost from your arms again…" and so I kissed her… from that point on I didn't know what happened… all I know is… I won't be parted from her ever again… we'll be together forever…

But because I want Donna and Alex to at least enjoy the happy life of being together, I made it a year. Aren't I such a good person huh? (just kiddin, remember… I'm still at your mercy)

And that's all I want to say, thank you also for waiting for the continuation of my fic (for those who were waiting I mean) and for those who had sent such good comments and reviews to me. For I'm still a good servant here to satisfy you (reader's name) with the fanfiction I can at least write for you. SO BYE!

P.S. Really hoping you won't flame me… so please don't… huhuhu… +;

P.S. 2 Just some words of advice (to sound wise or something) we never know when the dear lord (name your god) might take us away from the people we so dearly loved (enter name of specified person or persons) So let us cherish each second, minute, hours and days of our lives as long as we live and so that we should go with the flow of time until we breathe the last air of life we'll ever had. That's all and thank you. BYE AGAIN!

A person can have but one life and one death,

One heaven, one hell.
