A/N: Wow. It has been almost two years since I have even looked at this story. Recently I received a comment and it took me a while to realize that this was my story. That's how long its been. But I have decided to continue with the story and see how it unfolds.
Here we go…
'Wow! She looks incredible…' thought a young handsome man as he lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. He was wearing his usual, a dark wash jean slouched low on his hips and a black tank top that showed off his toned shoulders and arms, not to mention his tanned skin.
He was lightly throwing a basketball in the air and catching it. His way of thinking and clearing his mind. But right now there was only one thing on his seventeen-year-old mind, and that was that gorgeous blonde he bumped into earlier.
Of course, being a teenage boy there was nothing with breasts that didn't catch his attention, but there was something special about this one. Besides the fact that she was transgenic.
But then again he had not been around that many transgenics in his life, pretty ironic since he is one. He wondered if all young transgenics are as beautiful as her, and decided that probably not.
The door of his room slammed open as Tony stopped the ball just before it hit his face. "What do you want?" he asked without even looking at the intruder, he knew it was his pesky little brother. The age difference between the two brothers significantly contributed to their constant bickering. The fact that their parents always let the Zack get away with a lot of things didn't help either.
"What are you doing?" asked the little nine-year-old boy. Obvious that he was bored.
"What's it to you?" questioned Tony again not paying any attention to him.
"Are you gonna come look around with me? I want to see what goes on around here." Zack replied.
Tony was becoming very annoyed for no apparent reason. "Why don't you go make some friends? Why are you always bothering me?" he asked harshly. It was pretty embarrassing however having to drag your little brother around every where. It was only worse when they bumped in to Tony's schoolmates and friends. Trying to pass his little brother off as a lost child he was helping to find his parents didn't work either.
Zack turned around and left the room, he knew that there would be no way that he could get Tony's ass off that bed so he left the apartment they were staying in by himself.
Max and Alec walked back to their apartment after deciding to stay for a few more days because of Biggs and Cece's arrival. They thought they would stay up all night reminiscing about old times but they collectively agreed to retire to bed and continue their conversation the following day.
Max sighed as they reached their apartment. "It was so great seeing them." She said and Alec smiled and nodded.
Alec had grieved his friends death for a long time, so the shock was especially great for him. He would have never expected to see Biggs or Cece alive, let alone together.
"Why are you so quiet?" Max asked her husband. He was usually very talkative.
He shrugged. "I think that I'm still trying to make my self realize that this isn't a dream." He explained. "The whole time we were talking I kept thinking that I'm gonna wake up."
Max smiled. She knew what he meant. "Where are the kids?"
Alec shook off his thoughts. "Naturi and Ben are in their room, and Kiely was still at the pub when we left."
Max disappointingly laughed at neither of their knowledge of Adrienne. "And Adrienne?" she asked Alec just to make sure.
"I don't know she took off a little while ago." Alec said as he wrapped his arms around Max and kissed her cheek trying to soothe her worry.
Max shook her head. "That girl will be the death of me." She said.
"Hey, you used to say that about me." Alec said, finally putting a smile on his wife's face. "And look at us now."
Max laughed at him. "I guess your right." She admitted as she walked into the bedroom leaving Alec in the living room.
"I always am" he replied conceitedly after which a pair of rolled up socks hit him in the face. Something's never change.
Adrienne found herself walking around Terminal City aimlessly. She encountered a few very strange looking transgenics a long the way. 'There really are all kinds of people here' she thought. Walking down Oak street she remembered someone mentioning that it was a particularly tough part of Terminal City. 'I've been to worse places' she thought as she looked around the dilapidated buildings. As she walked farther she saw some transgenincs working on an old SUV and then saw some fixing a roof.
'Why are they working so hard for this place? It looks like shit.' She wondered to her self nodding her head.
She looked at her watch and thought she should probably head back, as she turned around she saw a little boy standing behind her. She jumped a little as she got scared for a second.
"Do you always sneak up on people?" Adrienne asked the innocent looking dark haired boy.
He nodded. "No, I just cant find my way back to where I'm staying." He added hoping that she could help him.
Adrienne figured that he wasn't from here. "Alright, where are you staying at?" she asked.
"I'm not sure." He said trying to think.
Adrienne sighed. "Well, is it close to HQ or far away?"
He remembered. "Close, I think."
"Come on." Adrienne started walking toward HQ and he followed trying to keep up with her. Adrienne knew that she could ask at HQ where he was staying if they couldn't figure it out on their own.
"What's your name?" Adrienne asked trying to make conversation with the boy.
"Zack" he replied. "What about you?"
"I'm Adrienne." She said as they got closer and closer to HQ.
Zack stopped. "Wait, I think that's our building." He said pointing at a building not far away.
"Are you sure?" Adrienne asked looking at him. "I'll go with you." She finally said as they made their way to the building.
Cece and Biggs walked into the apartment they were staying in. After such an eye opening day they just wanted to get to bed. Seeing Max and Alec was both shocking and great and they couldn't wait to see them again the next day.
"Tony! Zack! We're back." Cece yelled as they walked through the apartment.
Tony came out of his room. But Zack was no where to be found.
"Tony? Where's Zack?" Cece asked him.
Tony shrugged. "I don't know. He left a couple of hours ago." He said in a melancholy tone.
"He left?" Cece asked. This got Biggs' attention too.
"Yeah, he wanted to check out the city." Tony replied.
Cece and Biggs couldn't believe that he would be so irresponsible. "Why didn't you go with him?" Biggs asked as he was getting very mad.
Tony was also getting pissed. "He's fine. I don't need to babysit him all the time."
Cece was getting very worried about the fact that her nine-year-old son was missing. "He's nine Tony! Did that ever occur to you?" she yelled as she went to reach for the phone to call HQ and see if anyone has seen him.
"What is wrong with you?" It was Biggs' turn to yell.
"What's the big deal?" Tony yelled back. He couldn't see why his parents were getting so mad. Zack would show up soon.
Just as Cece dialed the number for HQ the front door opened and Zack walked in.
"Oh, thank god." She sighed in relief and went to hug Zack. They saw Adrienne walk in after him.
"Are you okay?" Cece asked Zack before talking to Adrienne.
Zack shrugged her off. "I'm fine mom." He said as he walked passed her. Everyone suddenly looked at Adrienne.
Adrienne noticed Tony standing in the corner of the room. "He said he was lost, so I helped him find his way back." She explained.
Biggs and Cece smiled. "Thank you." They said almost in unison. "I'm sorry. I don't know how this happened." Biggs said looking at Tony who rolled his eyes.
Adrienned shrugged. "Don't worry about it. Anything for an old friend of my parents." She said.
Biggs smiled. "It was great meeting you and I hope I we get to meet the rest of family tomorrow."
Adrienne nodded.
"This is my oldest son-" Biggs was cut off my Adrienne.
"Tony." She finished for him with a smile on her face. "We bumped into each other today." She explained.
"Literally." Tony added and Adrienne laughed.
"Oh." Biggs said looking at his son. "Already."
"I have to go now." Adrienne said. "We'll see each other tomorrow." She added and waved bye to Tony.
Tony smiled and waved back as she left. His dreamy moment of staring at Adrienne as she left was broken by his father.
"So that's what you were doing while your little brother was wandering around in the city?" Biggs asked him.
Tony shook his head in disbelief. "It wasn't even like that." He just said and went to his room.
Cece looked at Biggs after Tony left. "Something is different about him." She said and Biggs nodded agreeing.
A/N: Woo! So this was a spur of the moment chapter but tell me what you think!
