Chapter 17

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.

"Jason"

Jason had just returned from a relaxing lunch with Sydney, Vaughn and Weiss, and was about to put time on the bunch of paper work the CIA seem to think he needs to do, when he heard Jack Bristow call him from behind.

He turned and faced the man that is his father.

"Jason, can we talk?"

Jason guessed it was finally time, to see where the relationship with his father would start or end.

"Sure."

Jack lead him towards the small room that he had seen Vaughn and Sydney slip into whenever they think no one is looking. He turned expectantly towards his father, waiting for Jack to start.

"Sydney has told you about the results of the DNA test."

Jason nodded, "Yes, she followed me to the beach when she found out about it."

"Good."

Jack sighed, "Look, I know that you have noticed how Sydney has regarded me in this office, and from the time you spend with her, I assume you also know why."

"Yes, she has mentioned it in passing, but I promised her that I will not get in the middle of it, what happened between you and her stays that way."

"Thank you."

Jason once again nodded, knowing why Jack started with that train of thought in this conversation.

"From what you have said, I would think that you do not hold what I have done to Sydney against me."

"To be frank," Jason started, "I do not exactly know what happened and what the specifics are, Sydney was more concerned that I get to know you on my own."

Jack looked relieved, "Then I will be honest with you too, because I know that Sydney would not tell you this herself," Jack took a deep breath and started his sort-of confession to his long-lost son. "I was not there for Sydney when she was growing up, for years we were like strangers, our relationship had just became more of a father-daughter relationship until only recently when she has finally learned of my real life."

Jason frowned at him, obviously puzzled why Jack was telling him this, "I understand, in some way as a person who have come to love Sydney, you were protecting her when she was growing up."

Jack nodded, "Yes, I am glad you understand. I protected her because I love her, even now, in everything that I do, I do them for the protection of Sydney because she is my child." Jack looked at Jason in the eye, where Jason saw the sincerity of only a father can have towards his child, "Now that you are back where you belong, I promise you that nothing will harm you or your sister as long as I am alive."

Jason's eyes threatened to fill with tears, but like a man that he is, and that is like his father, he concealed his emotions well and he offered his hand towards his father, "Thank you. I look forward in getting to know you."

"Me too."

Jack turned to go out the room, "Wait, do I call you Dad?"

Jack smiled, "When you were younger, you had a lisp, so it always came out as Rad, but Dad is okay."

Jason smiled back and nodded, feeling great with what he has with his life right that moment.

Sydney watched from her desk her father and Jason talking for the first time as father and son in the 'make-out corner' as she likes to call the spot. She knew how nervous Jason was in talking to their father, but from what she can see, it is turning out to be great.

She was happy for Jason, having a new start with a new family within reach, albeit the family is a family of spies, still they can be assured that one would kill for the safety of the other.

She then was pulled from her thoughts when she heard her name being called, "Sydney" she turned to find Dixon striding towards her.

"Dixon, what's up?" her good mood of seeing her father and brother evident in her voice.

Dixon's face was very serious that Sydney was sure, something happened that is not going to be her liking. "I just came back from our main office here in LA, yesterday they had a walk-in."

Somehow Dixon's words gave Sydney a sense of déjà vu, when her mother walked into the CIA reception area three years ago, only to betray them and escape.

"It's your mother's sister, Sydney, Yelena Derevko."
