JONDY POV
Damage Control
Part: Three
Author: Jacey
Rating: PG13 - R
Disclaimer: Krit, Syl, Max Alec, and known characters belong to James Cameron, Chuck Eglee, and FOX. The names of Jondy and Zane also belong to them, but their personalities and characters belong to me. The story idea belongs to me, along with any additional ideas.
A/N: I generally write M/L fics, (even though now I'm a total M/A shipper) but Lexie got me obsessed with Krit and Syl and I made myself obsessed with Jondy and Zane...The title of this fic, comes from the title of a Live CD.
Dedication: For Lexie and Ash who made me realise that there's more to DA than there seems, and that the other X5's are just as interesting, if not more so than the main characters. SO, for Lexie and Ash. May you both find your own Krit's. :) (btw - save me one ;) )
Characters: I modeled the character of Jondy, mainly off Lexie ;)
A/N: Every third part (i.e. Part's: 3, 6, 9, 12, etc..) will be a P.O.V chapter.
Jondy
Some people are happy with a pet dog or cat, but being a transgene, I like to think of myself as more than a little different. So when my dad turned up at work one morning with a lamb, looking for a home for it, I decided, why not? I mean, being part feline, I don't generally get on all that well with cats, and dog's just plain scare me. So a sheep seemed the perfect alternative.
Zanes reaction on the other hand, wasn't quite as accepting. Let's just say that it involved something to do with mint sauce and a spit roast.
Moxie (names after my favourite sister, but with an 'o' instead of an 'a') put an end to that idea. She hid under the stair until Zane apologised for the idea. Sometimes I think that Moxie's not a normal sheep, but then she goes and does something, so sheep like, like eat my washing, or walk around in circles in the back yard.
But you know, I get that feeling occasionally, that there's more to here than we all realise. Like I don't know, maybe she's a nomalie gone completely wrong or something... there's definitely something odd about that sheep.
Anyway, I mentioned that my Dad got Moxie for me. I know that most of us, ('us' being the '09 X5 escapees) don't have parents or families, and I guess I just got lucky there.
My Dad found me wandering around the back ally's on Los Angeles, when I was 10, just a little while after the pulse, took me home to his wife, and his son, and from then on I was a part of the Parker family. I became their second child. Their only daughter, Jessica Parker.
When I was 14, and Zane turned up, I ended up telling my dad the truth about what.. who I was. I guess I kinda had to after Zane turned up on our doorstep, in the middle of a seizure, and I wouldn't let them take him to the hospital, and then managed to 'fix' him with my trytrophan.
I got the life that most of us '09 escapees dreamed of. A house, a family, and most of all, being loved.
But enough sappiness. I went to high school, graduated, and blitzed my way through medical school in 2 years. An American record... that stayed out of the books, thanks to Zanes expert hacking skills.
It's been 13 years since I saw Maxie, my youngest sister, and now she's gone. Ben's gone, he got a little to into the Blue Lady. Tinga's gone, she gave up her life in exchange for her son's. Zack's missing.. probably dead, too. Brin's... well Brin hasn't been seen in a while. In all likely hood she's dead too.
But there's still some of us from the '09 escape left. Me and Zane, living in Los Angeles. Syl and Krit in San Francisco; Ash and Bram, in either Vancouver or Seattle. Lex, Tawny, Rai and Trey in San Diego, and Jace and her daughter Maxie, previously in Mexico, now at TC.
I wish Maxie, and Zack, and Brin and Ben, and Tinga and Eva and Jack could all see how far us Manticore kids have gotten. We have our own nation, in TC, but they won't. And no amount of wishing will bring them back.
And now, Zane, Krit, Syl and I are on our way to Terminal City, to find the rest of our family... at least, that's what we've planned. But when you're a rouge X5, things don't always go as planned.
