"Wow." Max whispered as she looked at the building before them.

"It has to be at least twice the size of the Gillette facility." Jace mused. "It's huge."

"The better to hide at night.." Jondy smirked. "They can't possibly have enough guards to watch the halls at night."

"I wouldn't be surprised if they did though." Zack mused.

"Where are we exactly suppose to be going from here?" Manny questioned. "They basically opened the doors, kicked us out, and drove back to Gillette, Wyoming. They didn't tell us where to go, or what to do. Just because we're genetically enhanced doesn't mean we know what to do."

"Um, Manny, you're rambling." Jondy stated.

"Sorry." Manny muttered.

"Lets just head inside and see if we can find Director Renfro's office." Tinga suggested.

"Tinga, the smart one in the unit." Krit laughed. "Where would we be without you?"

"Lost? Confused? Struggling through life?" Tinga smiled. "But let's get going."

The group picked up their bags and headed towards the door, only to be met by a woman who they were guessing was Director Renfro. Max felt a chill go up her spine, something about Director Renfro wasn't right. They all stood at attention as Renfro walked by and looked at them, almost as if she was trying to read them.

"Dinner will be at 1900 in the Mess Hall. 2200 is lights out. Tonight's a leisure night for the X5's. Which will give you soldiers a chance to look around. But you have to be back in the barracks before 2200. Understood?"

"Yes ma'am!" They replied in unison.

"All of you will be starting training first thing in the morning with the other X5's at this facility. Any questions?"

"No ma'am." They all replied in unison once again.

"Good." Renfro stated. "Follow me. I'll show you where the barracks are."

Renfro turned and headed back into the building, the X5's following her once again in two lines. As they walked, the glanced around. The facility was definitely different then the Gillette one. There were more corridors and rooms.

The group soon came to a set of corridors, and Renfro turned to them. She looked at them and said, "Because of the heat situation that has aroused the past year, we've split up the males and females. Keeping units in corridors close to each other. Female's barracks are on the left. Male's barracks are on the right. Two to a cell, designations are on the doors. Once you have your things organized head to the Mess Hall. The guards will direct you there. You have ten minutes. Understood?"

"Yes ma'am!" They replied.

"I'll be watching all of you." Renfro said, before turning and walking away.

"Did anyone else get a weird vibe from her?" Ash questioned as she headed for the female corridor for their unit.

"Believe me Ash, you definitely weren't the only one." Max replied following her.

"Let me guess, the two of you are sharing a cell." Zane mused as Max and Jondy finally joined their unit in the Mess Hall.

"Yup." Jondy grinned. "Who are you with?"

"Me and Krit are bunking together." Zane replied. "It's gonna be a blast."

"Says you." Krit stated."

"And who exactly was the lucky female to get a cell to herself?" Manny questioned.

"Me." Tinga replied. "And it's great to be alone."

"A part of me is scared to ask who exactly got paired with who." Zack sighed.

"Nothing's worse then Maxie and Jondy sharing a cell." Krit stated. "Who knows what they'll come up with when no one else can hear them."

"Aw, that hurts Krit." Jondy pouted.

"I'm sure it does." Krit smiled.

Zack rolled his eyes. If it wasn't Jondy and Zane arguing it was Jondy and Krit. Glancing over at Max, Zack said, "You eat an fast and you won't have time to swallow or breath."

"Can you blame a girl for wanting to explore?" Max replied.

"What? You need more then two hours to look around this place?" Syl questioned.

"I need time to hang out in the rec room and talk to the other X5's here." Max replied.

"How do you know they have a rec room?" Jace questioned.

"Renfro said tonight's leisure night for the X5's. It wasn't just us she was talking about. There has to be a rec room. If there wasn't one how would the other X5's keep busy tonight?" Max rambled on.

"Not only are you eating fast, but you're talking fast too." Jondy laughed.

"But see I'm done eating now, so I can wonder around the facility while you sit here still eating." Max smiled, and standing up. "I'll catch you guys later."

They watched as Max turned and left the Mess Hall. "She's going to get herself into trouble isn't she?" Jess mused.

"I don't know." Jondy sighed. "You never know with Max."

"How about we change the subject." Manny suggested."Who's sharing a cell with who? We know Max is with Jondy, Zane is with Krit, I am with Zack, and Tinga has a cell to herself. What about the rest of you?"

"Me and Jace." Brin replied first.

"Jess and myself." Ash smiled.

"And last but not least, me and Syl are sharing a cell." Vada stated.

"They really know how to pick the cell mates don't they?" Zane mused.

"Don't say cell mates." Jondy muttered. "It makes it sound like we're in jail."

"We basically are." Zane mused.

"But you don't need to embellish that fact." Jondy replied. "I like to pretend that we're not."

"Jondy you crack me up." Zane laughed.

Max stared out the window at the fields below her. She had been wondering around the facility for the past fifteen minutes, watching for another transgenic, but there hadn't been any so far. Only the odd guard patrolling the halls.

"You must be from the Gillette facility." Max heard a vaguely familiar male voice say from behind her.

"Yea." Max replied weary about turning around.

"So how are you liking this place so far?"

"It's ok. Place is bigger, but it's not that different from the Gillette facility." Max replied deciding to turn around. Her curiosity getting the better of her. As she faced the male that had been talking to her, she felt her heart stop for a brief moment."

"Ben..." Max whispered.

"Sam?" The male that looked like Ben said at the exact same time.

"What?" They both questioned in unison.

"I-I gotta go." Max stated turning and hurrying down the hall.

"Was it something I said?" she heard the male yell after her.

Max ignored it and quickly walked to the cell she shared with Jondy. She hastily walked in and collapsed on her bunk. "You ok Maxie?" she heard Jondy question from the other side of the cell. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I...I think I did." Max whispered pulling her knees to her chest.

"What do you mean Maxie?"

"I... I saw..." Max trailed off trying to form the words.

"What did you see?"

"I saw Ben."

"Wh-wh-what?" Jondy stuttered.

"I saw Ben. Someone was talking to me, I turned around, and there he was. But he called me Sam."

"Maybe he was a clone or a twin or something." Jondy suggested.

"You think?"

"You never know with Manticore."

Max went silent and stared at the floor. If Ben had a clone, who else out of them did too? And why did it have to be Ben's clone to be the first to talk to her?

Jondy looked over at Max and asked, "So did you find a rec room?"

"Yea, but when I walked by no one was in it." Max replied, looking up from the floor and at Jondy.

"Well you wanna go see what they have in there?" Jondy questioned.

"I dunno." Max whispered.

"Come on Maxie don't let a run in with Ben's clone, or twin... whatever you want to call him, bring you down." Jondy sighed.

"It's just...seeing Ben's face again... brought back so many memories." Max whispered.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jondy questioned, sitting down beside Max on her bunk.

"No." Max stated standing up and walking towards the cell door. "So we gonna go to the rec room or not?"

"Yea, we're going to go." Jondy replied standing up. It had been over a year since Ben had been killed on a mission he'd one on with Max. Max still refused to talk about it. For awhile Jondy had thought that maybe Psy Ops had succeeded in making Max forget. But it soon became apparent that, that wasn't true. Max remembered it, you could tell by the look in her eyes.

"Jondy! Earth to Jondy!" Max said snapping her fingers in front of Jondy's face. "Anyone in there?"

"Sorry." Jondy replied. "I kind of zone out for a sec there."

"I'd say." Max smiled. "So I'll race you to the rec room."

"But I don't know where it is." Jondy complained.

"Then I guess you'll have to follow me. Meaning I'll win." Max's smile became a grin as she said this.

"And I'll just consider it cheating." Jondy mumbled. "How about next time we race there?"

Max sighed. "Fine."

"So lead the way sis."

"So the twin thing isn't a rumor." Alec stated as he walked into the rec room.

"What do you mean buddy?" Biggs questioned from where he sat on one of the rec room couches.

"I ran into one of the X5's form the Gillette facility in the hallway. She looks exactly like Sam. Except her hair's a bit shorter, and it looked like it was a tad darker."

"Cool I have a twin." Sam smiled sitting down beside Biggs on the couch.

Before anyone could say anything the rec room door opened an a girl about fifteen with shoulder length dirty blonde hair, and bright blue eyes walked in. Her eyes immediately drawn to the pool table. "Maxie there's a pool table I so wanna play you." she said excitedly.

"Jondy you know perfectly well that I'll kick you transgenic ass." A voice was heard saying from outside the room.

"You wish Ma-" That was when Jondy realized there were other X5's in the room. Changing her wording Jondy said, "You wish 452."

"Jondy what has gotten into you?" Max questioned as she took a step beside Jondy. "If you were trying to cover up the fact that you said my name I think you blew it."

"Um...hi..." Jondy trailed off glancing around the room. :either I'm going crazy or some of you look like some of those in my unit. 'Cause I could of sworn they were still sitting in the Mess Hall. I definitely don't think they would of come here first, 'cause they were going to check out everything. I-"

"Jondy." Max said cutting Jondy off.

"Yea?"

"You're rambling."

"Oh..."Jondy trailed off.

Sam got up from the couch and walked up to Max and Jondy. "Huh, you look like Max." Jondy mused.

"My name's Sam." Sam stated extending her hand out to Jondy.

Jondy shook Sam's hand and said, "I'm Jondy. You're mirror image is Max."

"Nice to meet you Max."

"You too Sam."

"See Maxie your theory was wrong." Jondy stated as she turned to look at Max.

"What do you mean?" Max asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You thought they'd be mindless drones." Jondy replied.

"Twins sure think a like." Alec mused turning around to face them. "Sam thought you guys we're going to be the mindless drones."

"No." Max started. "I think the right term is great minds think alike." Max then turned to Jondy and said, "I'm gonna go se if I can find the other. I'll give you time to warm up before I play you."

"Max." Jondy said in a protesting manner.

"What Jondy?"

Jondy looked at Max and sighed, "Nothing."

"Ok, I'll be back later." Max said as she turned and left down the hall.

"Why is it that every time she sees me she turns and leaves?" Alec questioned.

"Ever think that it could be your face?" Sam questioned.

Jondy laughed. "That would be something Max would say. Bu that's not why."

"Then what's the reason she keeps bolting on me?" Alec questioned.

Jondy sighed, "You're the twin of one of our dead brothers. Ben. To say the least Max was close to Ben and it killed her inside when he died."

"So she looks at me and sees your dead brother." Alec mused. "That's always comforting."

Shaking her head Jondy said, "I don't see why thought. I've met you once and I can tell you are a completely different person.. You seem some what full of yourself."

Sam laughed, "Yea that's him in a nutshell. But I'll introduce you to those from my unit that are here."

"Sounds like fun to me." Jondy grinned.

AN: Ok, I know I promised their reactions would be in this chapter, well you got Max and Jondy's as well as Sam's. The chapter just took a different turn that's all. Hope you liked it anyway. As for the whole twin scenario here's who's twin, Max/Sam, Ben/Alec, Zack/ Lane, Tinga/Jewel, Eva/Emma, Jack/Erin, Zane/Kade, Seth/Luke, Krit/Devon, Brin/Keema. Oh the confusion that is sure to come. Before I forget, if you've read my story Changing Fate, I'm thinking of writing a prequel, but I need suggestions for a title, so if you have one for me do share.

meri24: I'm glad I'm forgiven. Hope you liked this chapter as much as you did the last.

Angel Of Darkens231: Yes Lane is Zack's twin. Lol. I'm glad you're into Alec's history. :) You'll have to wait to see who the CO is. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait till the next chapter to see the rest. It might be rather comical.

calistra: No problem, I love your fic, I just have to become a better reviewer myself. No, Max's unit isn't expecting clones. Which just makes it more interesting.

Alana84: You're gonna have to wait for the others meeting with the clones.

Sarah: Everyone can't wait to see the reactions lol, I got a few down, more to come.

Dory Shotgun: I'm glad that we can make each others days. lol.

AngelKougaeri: I'm glad you like it, Is this soon enough?
