Chapter 15
Disclaimer: I do not own ALIAS..don't sue me...this is all from my head based on my love for the show. This goes the same for Jason Bourne from the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum and which ever production company that has rights over it, they are not mine.
Without looking behind him, he knew the footsteps on the sand belong to Sydney. He always knew they had a connection but he never knew it was potentially as close as being twins. When he heard the words out of her mouth during the briefing, he did not dare hope that finally he had something to hold on to, even if he was not with these people in his entire life. At least he has this potential connection that would pull him back, that would give him a sanctuary to start over with. He did not dare hope, but now with Sydney just a few feet behind him, obviously there to tell him the results, he could not help but hope.
"Weiss told you I am here." It was a statement that startled Sydney, she knew she was one of the best spies in the world, she had walked the sand path towards Jason, without making a sound, and there he was talking to her telling her he knew she was there all along.
"I heard your car." He eased her bruised ego.
Sydney took a seat beside him, but he did not turn his head to look at her, instead he looked straight towards the ocean, "The results were released."
"I figured that would be the reason you are here, so what was it."
Sydney smiled, "It seems like you are my big brother by four minutes."
"Four minutes is a lot of time, which means I get to boss you around."
She laughed, "I don't think so, Mr. I-Am-Afraid-of-the-thunder-but-I'm-too-macho-to-tell-my-twin-sister-about-it."
Jason turned to her and laughed, "What?"
"A few days after I learned that I had a twin, I had this dream wherein we were younger and it started out when you were calling my name while I was asleep, when I woke up finally, and asked you what was wrong, you just climbed up to my bed and went to sleep. I sat there thinking what just happened when I heard the thunder and saw you wince. It was a pretty cute memory actually, and I remembered feeling that the bravest big brother ever was afraid of thunder, and that, that should stay between us, bad thing for the bullies to know."
Jason laughed, "That's a great memory, I hope that I remember things too, about you know my life with you and Jack…I mean Dad, do I call him Dad? He might scowl at me."
Sydney laughed, "You should go ask him, you know talk to him."
"You should too, you know, I saw the way he looks at you during briefings, it's like he is finding something inside of him to get you to talk to him."
Sydney sobered up, "Jason, I'm tired of the lies that he has conjured up my whole life, keeping the fact that I have a twin was the last straw. I know I should be more angry that he has surveillanced my whole life, but not mentioning that I have a brother that I subconsciously do not remember was like cutting a piece of myself as compared to putting my life out to the whole CIA to see and know."
"I understand."
"But my experiences with him should not stop you from getting to know him as your father."
Jason looked towards the ocean, finally seeing something in his life to anchor to one place, to give him to hang on to even if he did not have any memory of his past; there is something to solid in his future. "You're not bad to have as a sister, you know. Not bad in giving advices."
Sydney laughed, "I'm just hoping you don't beat Vaughn up too much, now that we know you are my brother, you might go do the Don't-hurt-my-sister-or-I'll-kill-you thing. 'Cause you really might kill him."
Jason laughed, "Nah, Vaughn shouldn't be too scared, I can see he loves you."
"I love him too."
"But I'm gonna have a talk with him soon though."
"I'll mention it to him later, to make him prepared."
"You do that."
With that they sat there looking at the sunset, enjoying each other's presence and getting to know one another finally knowing who they really are to each other.
Sydney could help the little skip that she has as she opened the door to the apartment she shared with Vaughn. Everything just fell into place as she and Jason talked, there were no awkward silences, no I cannot believe you are my sibling type of feeling, it all came natural, and it made her feel great.
"Syd?"
Sydney smiled, it never fails to amaze her that she and Vaughn were living together, it was too good to be true considering what they both had been through to get to that moment. "Yeah, its me, I know it's kinda late, but I was talking to Jason."
Vaughn came out from the kitchen, and smiled at her in understanding, "I know, its okay, so you got yourself a brother huh."
"Yeah I do, and he wants me to tell you that he will have a talk with you soon about us. As my brother he said he had to scare you a bit."
Michael laughed, "I was hoping we were well past that."
"It was the first big-brotherish thing he wants to do." She laughed with him, as she moved closer to where he was standing to give him a kiss.
"I know I keep telling you this, but thank you, for putting up with this crazy life and family that I have."
"Well this crazy family and life that you have makes you, you; and I wouldn't exchange it for anything, I love you too much."
Sydney smiled as she leaned in for a passionate kiss that undoubtedly will make them miss their dinner again, "I love you too much, too."
Jack is once again in the warehouse he was in just a few days before, walking once again briskly towards the person standing the empty crates, waiting for him.
"What has happened Jack? You sounded urgent."
"I just learned my son is alive."
Irina sucked her breath in, emotions pouring out of her eyes, if only Jack would notice, "He's alive, but how?"
"I do not know, Irina, you tell me."
