Part 4
"Whoa- Okay then doc, I don't know how you came to that because I feel fine!" Rex exclaimed as he swung his legs over the small bed and flexed his muscles.
"I doubt Holiday would lie about something like this rex" Six stated stoically as he glanced back at the raven haired doctor, His face softening slightly as he met her in her eyes. "How can we stop it?"
"Like I said I need some more DNA to make a proper antidote, A sample of its poison would be ideal" Holiday muttered to herself as she glanced down at the anabolic gel which was resting lightly in her hands, Six nodded and turned to Rex raising a inquisitive eyebrow as the teen was once again attached to his communicator.
"Well whatever plans you had Rex are now cancelled-" Six ordered as he swung his green coat wide and began to walk towards the white door of the lab, His soul intent on informing white of the events which had followed.
"WHAT! Oh come on Six- we don't even know where the thing is! I have until sunrise-" Rex pleaded as he stood upwards; his hand clamped onto the side of the bed for support. Six stopped and turned to face the teenager, His head shaking in disappointment.
"Exactly Rex you need to find him first-" The man uttered as he watched the teenager intently. Rex frowned and was about to complain more when Holiday stepped in-front of his view of six, Her arms crossed tightly across her body as she watched Six sympathetically.
"We actually know where the E.V.O is, In fact its making its way here now- After Rex" Holiday muttered as she glanced back at the teenager, "Its probably better if he is out and about not expecting anything-"
Rex smirked and punched his fist into the air with success his face alight as he reached out and grabbed the communicator beside him. Holiday smirked as she watched the boy nod his thanks before walking rather pained over towards her, "What do you want me to do Holiday?"
"Take these-" The raven haired doctor thrusted three small glass vials into the boys hands, Along with a small bottle filled with the same liquid she had created before, "I will be watching your biometrics, whenever the pain returns take it Rex"
Rex nodded and accepted the vial, Clipping them onto his belt as he stretched his back once again; using his sleeve to wipe away the beads of sweat which had formed on his brow, Holiday smiled and turned back around to her computer; returning to typing away at the data, "Go now- Or you will be late for your date-"
"Its not a date" Rex stated blandly as he turned and walked towards the door, However before her could leave Six's arm shot wide and met Rex's body preventing him from moving as they exchanged glances.
"Listen I don't want that E.V.O getting too close to the city, When you see It take it out immediately. Ill be there for back up" Six ordered as he watched the teen nod frantically, Rex's arm pushed the older man back with a smirk as her clicked his wrists,
"Seriously Six you need to have some more trust in me-" Rex smirked jokily, However no smile graced the older man's face as the teenager began to build the mechanic wings from his back.
"Oh and Kid- You don't know her so well…. Don't do anything stupid" Six stated again as Rex pulled his goggles across his face, The teenager laughed as he started up his engines, Pieces of paper flying everywhere and stirring Holidays readings.
"REX!" The doctor scolded as she turned around,
"SORRY!" Rex shouted as he took off into the air and out a hole he had made earlier in the week, Holiday laughed as the wind in the small lab died down, Her knee's clicking as she bent to pick up the biometrics of the past week for Rex. Surprisingly as she went to stand a strong hand was offered for her, Looking upwards the doctor felt her cheeks blush as six helped her to her feet, His strong hands clamped tightly around her wrists.
"So who is he meeting?" Holiday asked with curiosity as Six released her arm, The agent shrugged and began to pick up some of the leftover papers scattered across the floor.
"Some teenager he met the other day" Six answered with hardly any detail, Holiday nodded and turned back to her computer, Her eyes monitoring the screen as Rex's biometrics continued in their steady rise and fall.
"Holiday-" Six began, The doctor turned and supressed a gasp as the man stared intently at one of Rex's biometrics, His eyes trying to read the scrawled handwriting in the corner, "What is this?"
"Um-" The doctor mumbled as she looked at the writing herself, Six met the woman in the eyes and raised an eyebrow,
"Holiday? These aren't Rex's notes-" Six uttered again, Holiday sighed and looked away from the man as guilt filled her,
"Look-" Holiday began, However at the movement of a camera in the top right of the room she paused. Biting her lip the woman grabbed the man's arm and began to lead him elsewhere, Her eyes constantly grazing over the cameras and guards as she went. And surprisingly Six followed without a question.
Elaine sighed as she held the basketball tightly between her hands, The cold wind whipping past her face and throwing her blonde hair across her vision. The teenager sighed and looked upwards into the sky from the bench she was sprawled across, Her eyes locking onto the cold dying light of the stars. Ever since she was little she always wanted to explore them, Always's wanted to see them. Afterall her whole family were stars now.
Allowing her head to dip the teenager pulled the hood from her thick grey hoodie tighter around herself, Hiding her from the cold wind which whipped through the air-
"Hayley?"
Elaine looked upwards, A large smile filling her features as the Espanic boy walked forwards and sat next to her with a large sigh. The blonde turned and looked at him in detail; A thin layer of sweat rested on his forehead, while his normally tanned skin seemed slightly pale. Elaine gasped as the sensation of his nanite's filled the air, They were all active; Every single one. Almost as if they were working in unison to take something out inside him. Refraining the need to absorb his nanites the girl controlled her breathing and pulled a smile back onto her face, "Are you alright?"
Rex glanced at her and sighed, A small smile of his own appearing, "Yeah just ran here give me a minute that's all" Elaine laughed and shook her head, Ignoring the strange worry that worked away at her own nanties.
"Keeping fit then are we?" Elaine questioned with a small laugh, Rex nodded and showed off his muscles with a smile.
"Yeah can't you tell?" He questioned back, Elaine laughed and leaned back against the bench more relaxed than before now she had someone else here.
"Well if your working out is as bad as your basketball…. Im surpised!" Elaine uttered back causing the two of them to start laughing. Rex sighed as his hand rested against his chest and eyes began to scour the sky, Very much the same as what Elaine had been doing previously. Allowing her head to dip the girl fiddled with the fraying edge of her jumped,
"You know if your busy we didn't need to meet up" She uttered catching the boys attention, "I only felt the responsibility of helping you improve your basketball" She finished with a smirk, Rex laughed slightly.
"Yeah Although you do need help with cheating-" Rex finished, "Anyway- You must have real relaxed parents if they let you out now with someone you hardly know?"
Elaine glanced up at the mention of her parents, Smiling sadly as the faint memories filled her mind of them. "Oh I don't have any parents-"
"What! Come on you must do- Everyone does" Rex joked as he elbowed the girl in the ribs, Elaine laughed half-heartedly, Rex frowned as it died in her mouth.
"No I mean my parents are dead" She finished with a small smile as she turned to the boy, Rex gawped before closing his mouth, A stoic expression filling his face.
"Oh im-"
"Sorry?" Elaine supplied, "Seriously it doesn't matter, I barely remember anything about them" She answered honestly, Sending a small smile onto Rex's face.
"Same as me then" He muttered back, Elaine raised an eyebrow inquisitively as the boy sighed and leaned further back, "I don't remember or even know who my parents are-"
Elaine nodded and smirked, "Im sorry"
"Sorry for what?" Rex asked again as he glanced across, Elaine shrugged.
Rex laughed and clapped his hands flying to his feet as he signalled for the two to start playing basketball, Elaine laughed at the ridiculous actions of the boy and stood upwards slowly, Her eyebrow raising as she spotted three vials attached to the teenagers waist. "Um Rex?"
"Yeah?" The boy asked as he took the ball from Elaine's hands and began to bounce it between his palms,
"Why have you got vials?" She asked as she pointed towards them, Rex froze and glanced down laughing aloud as he unclipped his belt and threw the vials and white phone to the side and onto the bench.
"Oh Its…. Um… from a science experiment?" He supplied as an answer, Elaine rolled her eyes and jumped forwards, Her hand snapping outwards as she stole the ball from Rex and began to bolt towards the hoop on the other side of the paved court.
"That sounded more like a question-" She shouted back as she performed a set up, Relishing in success as the ball slipped through the hoop. Rex sighed as he caught up and pressed his hands into his knee's panting from exertion, "Than an answer"
"Don't start me with that-"Rex complained back. Elaine laughed however before the two could continue the sudden ringing from Rex's phone or rather communicator from the other-side of the court echoed through the air, Elaine frowned as the wind around them began to pick up and the floodlights light flickered. Gasping aloud Elaine fell inwards on herself as another source of nanites pulsed through the court.
"HAYLEY!" Rex exclaimed as he bent down and placed her hand on the back of the teenagers back, his arm wrapping protectively as he looked around the court perimeter, "What's wrong?"
"Something-" Elaine panted as she looked upwards, Her eyes wide, "SOMETHINGS BEHIND US!" She shouted as she pushed her body into Rex, Ploughing him out the way and onto the ground just as a large flying creature crashed into the spot they had just been in.
"What the hell?" Elaine questioned as she moved backwards, Her feet and hands clambering at the ground.
"How did you know!" Rex asked as he did the same, Elaine glanced at the boy and opened her mouth to answer when the creature jumped forwards again, This time however it was Rex who pushed the two out the way of its jaws.
"I just sensed it I guess!" Elaine answered, The boy shrugged and stood upwards turning to the creature as he flexed his neck and closed his eyes.
"REX WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THIS IS NO TIME TO SHOW OFF YOUR MUSCELS!" The teenager complained, However her voice died as Rex's arms transformed into metal, large fists growing as the fingers flexed and rose upwards to face the monster. Elaine gasped as she watched; His nanites pulsing with power as they transformed and obeyed to his will.
Rex wasn't who she thought he was.
