I have to make a correction: they didn't saw each other since almost 20 years and not only 12. I've made a mistake writing it. :-)
This chapter is for take a look on what happened to Alex. I wanted to gave them a sort of interaction without make them talk because I want that they'll have a chance to see how they're changed. How Addison became "Satan" and how Alex became "Evil Spawn."
I hope that you'll like it! Let me know. :-)
"Let me see it." Izzie demanded him, speaking about his dark eye that George gave him. "No laceration, it's a little swollen. George really knocked you down."
"He's a light weight. I could have knocked him down too." Alex smirked, putting some ice on his eye.
"Seriously? Why you didn't?"
"Are you kidding? I want to be a plastic surgeon. I can't afford to ruin these babies." He kissed his left hand while he was checking his face in the mirror. "Definitely not for someone like O'Malley."
"You deserved it." She said in a matter – of – fact, opening the on-call room door.
"That dude punches like my sister." He said leaving the room from the other door.
"So…a girl knocked you down." She smiled.
He simply looked at her with an annoyed smile and then left the room.
Alex made his way for the pit but he then stopped, overhearing Dr. Shepherd talking to someone that, surprise, wasn't Grey. He was already pissed for how bad was his eye, no way that he wanted to let his boss see him like that. He wasn't in the mood for some scolding. So he waited, hiding in the corner, so no one could see him and he couldn't see anyone.
"What are you doing here?" Alex heard Dr. Shepherd says.
"Your hairs are different." The woman replied.
"A lot of things are different."
"They're longer, I like it. It's very Russell Crowe."
"What are you doing here?" Derek raised a little his voice.
"What are you doing here? You just pick up and leave everything? Your house, your practice, your friends? You had a life in Manhattan." Alex was listening with more interest. That woman was from New York too. Just like him. He shook his head, not really wanting to think back on that time of his life.
"Had." Derek said coldly.
"And now you have a girlfriend in Seattle." Alex noticed the hurt in that woman's voice. But also noticed that she didn't make a scene like a lot of chicks do. Addison swallowed and then raised an eyebrow. "She seems..." she pretended to think about it… "..Sweet."
"She's young." She raised her voice because Derek was leaving.
"Are you here to try to have me back?"
"I am. I flied all across the country to make you look at our wedding photos, get drunk, fall on the bed and make you realize that you can't live without me. Relax, Derek. I'm here for work. I'm on the TTTS case that has been admitted last night, and Richard…"
"Richard knew that you were coming?"
"He didn't tell you?"
"No, he didn't."
"Oh..surprise." Her tone was sarcastic. "The hair…you know that I always had a thing for Russell Crowe…" she whispered against Derek's ear, but loud enough for Alex to listen it. And then she left. Alex didn't hear her voice again so he poked his head from the corner and saw Derek's stand alone. Trying to forget what he just heard, finally he made his way to the pit.
"Dude, problems are coming." He thought amused.

"This is the last box, babe." Alex said carrying the last one of Addison's boxes inside her College room.
"Shoes." She read on the box. "Can you please take it over there?"
"Yes, ma'am." He smirked and did what she asked. "So…" he cleared his voice, feeling his heart heavy.
"You have to go, right?" Addison asked grabbing his hands.
"Yeah..I.. I…" Alex swallowed and then took a deep breath.
"I miss you already, honey." She threw herself in his arms and he hugged her tightly.
"Me too, babe. Me too." He whispered kissing her ear. "Me too."
Addison felt her cheek wet and not only for her tears. She whipped Alex's eyes with her thumbs and managed a smile.
"I hate see you cry, Alex." She kissed him.
"Same here, babe. I don't want to see you cry. It hurts here." He grabbed her hand and rested it on his heart. And then he kissed her slowly. He wanted to make that kiss go on forever.
"I'll phone you when I'm home." Alex whispered against her lips. "I promise." She nodded.
"I can't wait." She managed to say with a lump in her throat. "Stay away from problems. Please, Alex."
"I'll try. I will." He nodded and kissed her again. "I love you, Adds. I love you so much."
"I love you too, Alex." She hugged him, not able to let him go and he laughed softly, kissing her temple.
"I'll talk to you soon. Kick ass, babe." Alex kissed her once again. "Bye, babe."
"Bye, honey." She whispered and he left the room.

Alex was back after an year since he joined the Army. Addison, though, was still at Yale for her lessons. He told the cab to stop in front of his house. He paid the man and then walked to the front door. Listening a lot of yelling coming from his house, he stopped. He was about to turn his back, calling another cab and run away from there when a voice snapped him. His sister was crying loudly, so he opened the door. Alex was shocked. They parents were fighting and, as always, his father was beating his mom. He couldn't stand it anymore. His mind went blank and the next thing that he did was beating the crap out of his dad. Alex was furious. Full of angry.
"How's when someone beat the crap out you?" Alex snarled an inch away from his father's face. His father left the house and no one saw him again.
Xxx
Alex left the Army the next day. His family needed him and his mother's situation got worse.
"My father wants to see you." Archer knocked on Alex's room door.
"There's something wrong with Addison?" Alex asked ready to leave. Addison asked him to stay with her for the night. She didn't know what happened between Alex and his father.
"Sort of. The Captain is asking you to not see her again."
"What…why?" Alex stammered.
"He knew what you did to your father. He has some concerns."
"He thinks that I'm going to hurt Addison." He said angry.
"Yeah. He doesn't want that you see her again. He send your brother to tell her that you went missing during a drill." Archer looked away from Alex that remained silent.
"The Captain talked to some doctors, your mother is admitted in a nursing home in Iowa." Archer handed him some documents.
"I'm not by his side. I love my sister and I want her to be happy. With you she's happy."
Again Alex remained silent, staring back at Archer.
"What I'm going to do now?" Alex hissed moments later.
"I can help you. I can pay you the College, and you can build a decent future. You can repay me when you have the money."
"Can you pay me the Med School too?" Alex asked surprising himself.
"But you have to promise me that you'll not see Addison again. The Captain's orders."
"I promise. Whatever. She'll think that I'm dead thanks to your father."
"I'm sorry."
"I couldn't even say her goodbye." Alex looked away and Archer saw his cheeks wet.

They move to Iowa. Alex wasn't the same again. He worked some years to make sure that his family could make it without him and then he left for College. His internship at Seattle Grace Hospital began two months before Addison Forbes Montgomery came too.

"You're eating while you're watching a surgery?" Alex smirked to Izzie, making his appearance in the gallery. "And you call me insensible." He sat down next to her.
"It's not a snack, it's my lunch."
"Whatever…so she's the She-Shepherd?" he nodded toward Addison that was operating with Meredith.
"You heard?" Izzie asked surprised.
"Yeah..I overheard she and Shepherd talk last night. He left her." Alex shrugged, smiling cocky. "She's hot. How can you dump someone like her and screw someone like Meredith? It means no sense to me."
"Doesn't it suck? Wake up in the morning and realize that nobody likes you? That you're an ass even with your friends?"
"Oh.. Yeah..that hurts me so much." He laughed sarcastically. "Plus since when you're my friends?" Alex smirked and Izzie ignored him going back to watch the surgery.
"And how you can tell that she's hot? You can't see her."
"I have a radar for the hot chicks." Alex smirked.

"Woah Adds. Put that knife down. I'm not going to play doctor with you if you have a real freaking knife." Alex said panicked.
"Coward." She mumbled, putting down the knife.
"Crazy woman. If a 15 years old can be called a woman…" he smirked cockily.
"Do you realize that you're really an ass?"
"Whatever, you like me anyway."
"Only because you're my best friend."
"But you like me." He grinned and that made her more annoyed.
"I do. Whatever, don't flatter yourself now." She growled and he laughed out loud.

Alex was walking while he was reading some charts when he saw Meredith standing near her patient's door.
"She's in there?" he whispered, wanting to see the She-Shepherd.
"Yeah.." Meredith sighed exhausted.
"Dr Shepherd can you please put your intern out of my case? She reminds me of my husband dirty mistress. You know what I mean." The patient asked to Addison.
"No…" Addison spoke slowly. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"She's sleeping with your husband."
"Let me get this clear. My husband didn't cheat on me, I cheated on him. You owe to Dr. Grey an hell of apology." Addison swallowed, without lose her fierce and left the room, crashing right in Alex.
"Sorry.." he mumbled not looking away from his charts, but she didn't even noticed him and walked away.
"Dude, she has ball." Alex smirked looking at Meredith.
"She's like Satan."
"Hell, yes. She is." He laughed walking away too.
