The day passed quickly and without interruption. Not even a single Evo attack. Noah had all ready gone home and the rest of Providence has fallen asleep hours ago. Only Rex stayed awake as he snuck out of the building. Looking back once to make sure no one had followed him Rex's nanites formed the Boogie Pack on his back and he flew up into the night sky, the nearly full moon laminating Rex's way.

Meanwhile Circe rubbed her hands nervously at their usually meeting place. She didn't like doing this, especially with her feeling towards Rex real. She sighed as she continued rubbing her hands. The pier from which she stood on wasn't really a big pier like one you would see by an ocean. It was just a simple lake pier where younger kids would jump off screaming and laughing during the summer heat. She whimpered slightly as she yanked away her hands from their consent rubbing. "I mustn't let Rex see my nervousness." She told herself aloud. Almost immediately she laughed. She sounded like an olden day person who would speak using the words 'thou' and 'milady'. Her short laughter quickly faded as she heard the machinery of Rex's mechanic wings from the distance. Her heart gave an all too familiar skip as she realized Rex, her Rex, would soon be beside her. Before he arrived a single thought crossed her mind; I can't believe we have been secretly dating for the past 2 years.

He landed before her and his Boogie Pack went back into his body. His mischievous smile was casted towards her as he moved his goggles from off his eyes. "Circe…" He whispered softly, he himself almost didn't hear him call out her name. It's been months since we hanged out alone… The sad thought crossed his mind as he watched her smile grow.

She giggled and all plans of her mission dissipated from her mind, at least for the moment. "Rex." She ran to him and he immediately took her in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they shared a soft and passionate kiss. "I've missed you." She muttered after they broke apart.

"I've missed you too." He bent and gave her another small peck. They broke apart from their hug but remained attached by their hands. "So, what do you want to do tonight?"

Circe shrugged and shot him a sweet smile. "I really don't care, as long as I'm with you."

He mimicked her smile. "Same here." His smile then slightly lessened. "Do you think we could just walk tonight?"

She nodded. "Sure Rex." They started to walk down the pier and towards the dirt road that was only wide enough for one vehicle to pass at a time. Their hands that were still held swung lightly between the couple as they walked silently down the dirt road. It was at this moment Circe's mission once again slipped into her head. She can remember the order Van Kleiss had told her only hours before. She looked down at the ground and then at their clutched hands. She sighed softly and looked up at Rex who was staring at her. She felt herself blush a light shade of pink as she starred into his brown eyes. "So, how have you been? We haven't talked like this in months."

Rex nodded. "It's been ok."

Circe started to feel a bit frustrated from his answer. Sure she loved him, madly loved him, but if she didn't get what Kleiss wants, God help her. She then swung their hands in a more wild way as she shot him an innocent look. "Oh, um, nothing new? Not even with your friends?"

He thought about it for a moment while he forced their hands to go back to its calm soft swing. "Nope." He simply answered as they walked on. Circe was mixed with so many emotions that she could practically feel herself being pulled apart in all directions. She felt love, frustration, happiness, relieved, anger, and fear. She was about to say something else when Rex asked her a question. "What's new with you and the Pack? Still going to stay with them?"

Ah. She thought numbly. The conversation topic that always arises every time I see Rex. Two new emotions were thrown into her brewing pot then, annoyed and lightheadedness. She sighed, something she always does before answering, all ready Rex new her answer. "Rex, I'm sorry but, I can't. I can't leave. Not now, not ever." I'm too far into their plans. She silently added. His smile turned into a frown and he looked ahead once more. Circe too looked away as the tension between them grew. When they first started dating what fueled them was their strong love for each other, now that they've been dating for at least 2 years that strong love slowly became a soft love in which it's difficult to keep because of their different sides of the battlefield. She then was filled with determination as she turned her head to look at Rex. "You know what? Let's not worry about it. I just want to be with you Rex." She snuggled closer to him and placed her free hand on his arm.

Rex looked down at his girlfriend and smiled softly at her. "That'll work well for me." He placed his head gently on hers and the two walked down the cement road at the end of the dirt one towards the town.

About 15 minutes of walking they reached the small town that practically had nothing entertaining. All it had was a post office, a farmer's market store, a general store, 1 chain restaurant, 2 non-chain restaurants, one is a karaoke bar the other is a country restaurant, a vehicle repair shop, that handles any vehicle from huge semis to little row boats, and one small residential area where everyone in town lives in. They entered the town, street lights the only thing illuminating their way. They looked around since they never really gone inside the town itself, all they did was look at it as they went to the nearest city with something interesting to do. Everything was closed and it gave the town a very eerie feeling. The two slowly moved away from each other as they looked around the practically black town.

Rex then spotted a bench positioned under a street light that wasn't as bright as the others. He tugged on Circe's hand as he walked faster towards the bench. They sat down and that's when their hands released. Circe looked away from Rex as her mission stilled nagged at her. Her stomach did flips whenever she thought about it. Rex watched her silently and sighed. He wishes he could tell her about what happens in Providence but he always has the fact that she's a Pack member in the back of his head. He can't fully trust her and that is a major bump in any type of relationship. His irrational mind screamed at him. What are you talking about you fucking idiot? Circe's your girlfriend! You have to trust her! Why in the hell did you ask her out? To coax her to coming to Providence? No. Rex answered to himself as he continued starring at Circe. He had asked her out because he loves her, she's beautiful and kick ass, literally. "Circe, I uh, there's nothing really new." He said quietly. Circe looked at him in question. Then realization hit her face as she remembered their previous conversation. "Same old same old." He added with a chuckle. "Well, not really. We uh, have a new Evo in our midst. Um… Her name is Elise Salvador." He stopped there, nodding his head absently, not completely sure if he even should be telling Circe this.

Circe's blinked. She hadn't expected him to tell her. He never usually does. "Um… So what can she do?" Of course she all ready knows this answer but it would be weird if she just went out like 'what is she doing there.'

Rex cleared his throat. "She's a centaur." He nodded once. "She has these weapons," he looked at her then, "that can change what they do. I think she has like 4 different types of like, power." He mentally slapped himself, he can't describe this he's only seen her in battle once. "But she only has a bow and daggers and a sword but you could never tell because it's just the handle, sort of like Six's but it has the 4 different powers instead and she runs pretty fast. She also is very athletic." He chuckled once, thinking about the way Elise had kicked his and Noah's asses in basketball. "She's different, but she can revert back to human. She practically is like us."

Circe nodded and smiled. "She seems cool." She evilly, in her opinion, indulged Rex in how great his new teammate is.

"I would agree with that. She's smart too. She came here from across the world to help us find a cure for Evos." He realized then that he said too much. Telling her about Elise, fine, telling her about what they're doing? Not fine.

Circe couldn't believe it. A cure? She felt both happy and surprised. She could get cured. She could live a normal life. She could be with Rex with no worry. She could leave the Pack. She had to tell the Pack about the cure. That's when her happy surprise changed into pure self-loathing. "A cure?" She asked, her voice shaking.

"Uh, no. Fo-forget I said that." He turned away from her.

"No, Rex, really? A cure? Like a true and real cure?" She etched towards him. She didn't have to fake her enthusiasm. She has always thought of a cure and how she would live if she took it. Plus I could tell this info to Van Kleiss. She added sadly. Rex shook his head and didn't look at her. "Rex, please just trust me. I won't tell Kleiss or the others. I always wanted to be cured." She hated the bipolar-ness of her own words. Lie and then truth and probably back to lie.

He looked at her then. "Are you serious?" He sounded as if she had just slapped him.

"Yes. Rex, I hate being an Evo. Always have." Back to lie. True she hated being an Evo but if she wasn't an Evo then she would have taken the Pack's test and met Rex but most of the time, she hated it.

"But Circe," he took her hands in his, "being an Evo is what makes you different. True I'd love you no matter what you chose but I love you the way you are, can't you just stay?"

"Oh Rex." She pulled her hands from his and turned away. "I, no… I-I don't know." She almost whined. She rubbed her arms with her hands, feeling the weight of everything on her. "I just don't know." She repeated. She then absently starred at the watch around her wrist, the watch she wears only when she sneaks out at night to see Rex. "I have to go." She said quickly as she abruptly stood.

Rex stood as well and grabbed her arm. "Circe, don't go."

"Rex I have to." She looked into his eyes. "It's 4:56 am."

Rex looked surprised. He looked up at the sky and say that the sun's light was just starting to peak. He looked back at Circe who continued to look at him. "All right." He sighed out. He reluctantly let go off her arm.

"Rex…" She placed one hand behind his head and pulled him in to a strong kiss. She released him and looked over at him once more. "I love you Rex, and I promise I won't tell Kleiss or the Pack. If I do, I hope to die." She smiled sadly at him.

He mimicked her smile. "I love you too Circe." She then swallowed, turn and ran. He watched as her form slowly disappeared in the disappearing night. With a sigh he turned and his jetpack formed on his back. With just one look back he flew up slowly starting to regret everything he had just told Circe about Elise.

-*- Abysus -*-

Circe panted as she ran into the kingdom. She walked into Kleiss' throne room. He sat in his chair, toiling with his glove that is on his left hand. She starred silently at him. Then Biowulf came up from behind her. "Did you get what Van Kleiss want Circe?" He growled at her.

She placed a hand over her heart and glared at Biowulf. "Well," she said in one hard breath, "if you waited till my breath caught up with me then you would have heard everything I got from Rex." She spat at him.

"You insolent girl!" Biowulf raised a hand as if to slap her.

"Biowulf!" Kleiss yelled. Biowulf growled deep in his throat and walked away towards Breech and Skalamander. He stood before them and in the middle as he always does, his arms crossed over his mechanical chest. Circe turned and walked closer towards Kleiss. "Now Circe, what did you discover?" He asked her in his very calm and luring voice.

Circe sighed heavily and her hand dropped from her heart. "The centaur Evo's name is Elise Salvador. Her weapons are a bow, daggers and a sword. As we could tell from the video, her power is that she changes the blades and arrows to 4 different attacks types. Her speed and agility is also very high."

"Yes, yes." Kleiss said impatiently. "Why is she there? That's what I sent you out for." Aggravation clear in his voice.

Circe remembered the promise she couldn't keep and suddenly felt really sad and drained. She looked down at the ground. She starred at the ground and as seconds passed she heard Biowulf growl at her. "She's there to help Providence come up with a cure for Evos." She eventually says.

"Hmm…" He began to tap his fingers together, an evil smile on his face. "A cure huh?" He chuckled. "Well that won't work. Not with my need for nanites." Circe held back tears as he continued talking. "We should try and get Miss Salvador to join us that way the cure won't be found."

Biowulf walked forward. "A great idea Van Kleiss. She would also be an asset to us with her power and strength."

Skalamander nodded awkwardly in agreement. "Yes, she would be very useful."

Breach who hardly speaks a word hissed out just one word. "Yes…"

Circe's emotions started to really let loose. She quickly blinked away a tear that was starting to fall. "Yeah." She muttered. "Perfect idea."

Kleiss smiled at his Pack. "Then our new plan shall start today. Let's get to know Miss Salvador a bit more shall we?" He pulled out a remote from inside side of the chair and pointed it to a TV. The video captured of Elise's fighting played on the screen in a never ending loop.

So there we are. The first Rex and Circe moment in this story and a bad guy infected chapter. Sort off. Please review.
