Outside the warehouse the rain had begun to fall hard. Dana began to walk back to her apartment in the moonless night, she had no worries of any attack despite the fact that the neighborhood was bad. The only thing that kept her dry from the downpour was her jacket, but the cold rain didn't effect her, little did.
Sure Ana, he'll understand. Understand that his partner is a freak of nature, an experiment that went wrong as far as her creators are concerned. My own family didn't understand, it was only my father who kept me from being thrown out, so yeah of course he'll understand, she thought bitterly.
She walked through the park near her apartment, her hair sticking to her face; her make-up was beginning to run down her face. She sat down heavily on a nearby bench. How do I even begin to tell him anyway? She could just see the conversation now:
"Mulder, there's something you need to know about me."
"What?"
A sigh, "During the Cold War the government began to experiment on children, trying to develop a supersoldier to fight in the war. They recruited the top doctors, even enemy doctors to achieve their goal. They gave them telepathic abilities, increased agility and strength. Heightened intelligence, among other things."
"Like the Eves?"
"Yes, but these were successes. My father was recuited to transport the scientists that participated in the project; he wasn't told what they were doing, just that it was to help save mankind. Ever the man bound to duty he agreed..."
"Until he found out what they were up to."
"Yes, and then he was punished... by being forced to watch me undergo the experiment."
Scully laughed aloud at how corny the whole thing sounded. The information may have be serious, but who would believe it. Perhaps it was the only way that the Syndicate could assure themselves that their true plans would never be revealed. Make them so only the crackpots would believe and spread the word, then again Mulder was far from a crackpot.
"Maybe you should give us "crackpots" the benefit of the doubt with your secrets."
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. The idea for Scully's situation was kind of inspired by the Dark Angel TV series. I know this chapter was short, but I promise they'll be longer next time.
