Zoe has been awesome as usual not only going through over 8000 words but my "O" is being a pain and randomly not working (note to self no more eating cookies while on laptop) so I do apologise if there still is some missing o's.

All mistakes are mine and spellcheckers. They happen alot so I apologise for them now.

Disclaimer thing: I do not own any of the Grey's characters...really I don't if I did, mmm that would be scary :)

Chapter 16 The Disrupted Rapture

The noise was numbing, the sound reverberated around the inner ear causing the overwhelming dread that they would never be able to hear properly again. The occupants didn't know which was louder, the noise from the storm outside or the actual aircraft itself. It was hard to hear yourself think as the transporter copter continued on its rapid journey across the sand filled sky. The pilot cursed when the machine dipped suddenly as it hit an air pocket, bodies jolted against each other causing the men to grab the handles above their heads trying to steady themselves.

All lost balance except the lonely woman who didn't seem to flinch, she only grunted at the pilot as she continued to type furiously on the small touch screen in her lap. She was so engrossed in the keyed tongue lashing she was giving Kepner that she didn't notice that the men watched her under furrowed brows less than amused that they were even there.

"I can't believe we got stuck on this detail. The fucking war has kicked off and we're babysitting this fucking psycho!" the man said just loud enough so that the others across from him could hear him. The six men were dressed in Alliance 'ninja gear' as it had been named by regular members of the Alliance forces because of its all black lightweight Kevlar uniform and visor helmets.

"Ssh Harris, she'll hear you. It was direct orders from the President to go with and follow any order from Hahn as though it was from the man himself. I for one do not want to upset the great man." A younger looking soldier on the other side of the hold lifted his visor and started fidgeting with the microphone as though distorting what he was saying would stop the assassin knowing what was being said.

"Aw, no fear Roberts, she hasn't got her earpiece in. I watched her take it out or should I say throw it out when Mitchel started his lovely out of tune singing earlier." Harris laughed when he watched Mitchel stop assembling his rifle to extend his middle finger in the man's direction. "We're the fucking 'best of the best' and we're having to babysit Burkes toy, when the fuck has she ever needed help. Maybe she's slipping, a glitch…anyway we should be on the front lines teaching Robbins that it's not cool to switch sides and join the rebel scum."

"I heard that we have them pretty much contained to the outer limits of the belt. They haven't managed to break through the defence of the city. We still outnumber them. They thought they could do the whole divide and conquer thing by attacking at different positions, but it doesn't work if you just don't have the numbers." The young soldier Roberts smugly spoke up as the aircraft violently jerked again this time the boy's eyes shot toward the vehicle at the back of the large hold. "Seriously we better land soon coz that is wigging me out." Motioning to the heavy vehicle as it rolled back and forth in its restraints. The pilot's voice cracked loudly in their ears fighting the background noise for priority.

"Right lad's we'll be landing soon the storm is getting to dangerous to continue to fly in, many a pilot wouldn't have taken you this far in even with the new upgrades. We'll have to continue this on ground. I reckon we should get there in an hour and a half, we'll be moving pretty fast as I have to keep on the move to make sure that the sand has no time to set on anything vital...it's not going to be pleasant and will be as bumpy as hell knowing the scenery. The rig has been fitted with radar, so there is no point looking out the windows we're pretty blind down there so no hurling or there will be a soil charge. Thank you for flying Perry aircrafts." The man smirked as he watched Hahn finally lift her head from the screen and stare back at him unimpressed before she opened her mouth.

"Would you like me to hand out the inflight meals Captain Roger's? Stop spending so much time making sure their comfy back there just get a move on this is NOT QUICK ENOUGH!"

"The names Perry sir, not Roger's…I mean ma'am sir…I mean, I'm being quiet now. Oh ha-ha I get the reference, very funny, yeah definitely quiet now!" The man shuffled uncomfortably in his seat as his brain finally caught up with the Captain America reference. Seeing the face of the very pissed off assassin he realised it was better to concentrate on getting them landed so that they could continue the mission on the ground.

She swore she could see stars. It definitely hurt as she landed and the wind was knocked out of her. She knew she still had her eyes clenched tightly shut as she could feel how sore her face was, petrified about what had hold of her near her neck. Her hands still gripped her rifle tightly and when she tried to remove it from her chest she couldn't. The material of her t-shirt was tightly gripped and the hand kept her pushed down on her back, no matter how hard she tried to wriggle from its grasp.

This was it, all these years and she had stupidly let them get her. Managing to move her hand to the trigger she pulled it and grit her teeth as she waited for impact, when she realised that the gun had been pulled from her quicker than the bullet had released. She made a noise of panic when she heard the bullet hit the wall and her weapon hit the floor at the side of her. Taking one last deep breath gaining enough courage she looked into the face of her captor.

"Oh wait your pretty, and you are and you…you, not so much but still much more pleasant to look at than them!" The young girl quickly looked around the group who had now removed all visors so that their faces could be just about seen in the minimal light. Hunt grunted as he realised the last comment was directed at him when her eyes stopped at him for a longer period of time than anyone else before she worked back to Arizona where her eyes became fixed. "Are you here to rescue us…cause you're a bit late, I'm the only one left." The girl continued quietly as she looked sadly into Arizona's blue eyes who quickly but gently released the girl from her grasp.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean too…I thought you were them coming back. I was so sure you were them!" the girl pointed to a mutilated corpse which had one of her bullets buried in its forehead. Mark followed the girls point and had a closer inspection of the body realising that it was a Death Walker pretty quickly.

"Death Walkers have been here, going by the body only a few hours ago and you've been here all this time? How are you here? How are you still alive…Who are you, you're just a child?" Questions continued to spew from Mark's mouth in confusion as he squinted in the light to see the girls face. The girl ignored the questions and looked at Arizona placing her hand gently on her face watching a flick of silver glance across the blue eyes. It was really dark yet she could see the deep blue of the woman's eyes. Arizona watched as the girl continued to examine her face, the girl felt how smooth the skin was under her finger tips, it was not the rough scarred skin of them and this was obviously enough information for her brain to tell her that it wasn't her mind playing a cruel trick. The girl's serious facial features broke as she became excited, then she began to smile enthusiastically and began her fast paced ramble.

"You really are real aren't you…but how did you out manoeuvre that bullet because that was unreal. I know I have been by myself for a while now but I know what I saw and you freaking dodged a bullet and the velocity at which a bullet can move…that's like superman powers, though there's definitely no question about you being a man wearing that suit…can you breath in that? You're one of them aren't you, dodging a bullet and your eyes…" The noise of Karev knocking something from a countertop made the girl snap her head around and then she began acting nervously again. "Anyway they might be back soon it's not safe in the open…quickly you need to follow me in-case they come back."

Callie laughed as the girl finally managed to push Arizona to the side as the blonde had relaxed when the girl had started babbling. Even though she had let go of the girl, Arizona was still over the top of her gently keeping her from running but the speed that the girl moved surprised even Arizona as she shot up grabbing the rifle and ran toward the back corner again. She climbed up onto desks easily and eventually disappeared into the vent that Arizona had pulled her from. The group watched as her head poked back out of the darkness and she motioned for them to follow.

"One of what?" Arizona shouted after her still shocked that she had managed to get away from her.

"Oh hell no…who says that's not a trap. She has trap, written all over her pretty innocent looking little forehead. I bet when we get on the other side she chops us into a gazillion pieces?" Bailey grabbed Callie's arm and pleaded with her as the taller woman had started to follow.

"Oh come on Bailey, she looks…what like twelve? I really don't think it's a trap. I think she's alone and has been that way for a while and that's why she's a bit excitable. Okay a twelve year old who can fire a rifle but she was defending herself. Looking at the mess out here I can't see how in there, is going to be any worse." Callie tried to reassure her crew who all looked just as concerned.

"I'll go first, wait here I'll check that its clear and then you can follow." Arizona never waited for anyone's answer before she ran and jumped up without the use of anything, effortlessly lifting herself into the vent when her hands made contact with the ledge.

"I bet she doesn't even work up a sweat but tires you out, huh Torres?" Karev snorted as Callie hit the back of his head as she caught his passing comment. He couldn't help the grin appear on his face as he watched the blush work up his friend's cheeks. "Oh the throbbing head was worth it just to see that!"

"Zoe…time check please? 'cough'" Karev laughed as Callie whipped her visor down and talked to Zoe until she knew the redness had left her cheeks.

"Aye well going by my calculations of how quickly they have been travelling so far I would have tae say they must be in a copter an they haven't stopped yet but I'm sure they can't continue to fly in the weather…if they continue the speed they are coming in at right now you have at least an hour. Hey, is everything okay Torres yer temperature warmed up an yer heart rate spiked for a minute there." Zoe finished with a round of hushed laughter from the crew which left Callie sighing as Arizona's voice was heard.

"Hey guys it's all clear, it is just the girl. It's a bit tight through the vents and it's a pretty big drop on the other side so just be careful. I'll see you in a few."

The rest of the group looked at each other before Cristina raised her voice.

"Stupidity before intelligence!" she said with a smile and motioned for Callie to go first.

Meredith sat on the desk kicking her legs out as she watched her husband check data and pull out vials of liquid of different properties inspecting them like they were precious. She was finding his eureka moments extremely amusing and by her counting he had had about seventeen of them so far. Unfortunately everyone had resulted in the same look of dejection. He had been in his mad scientist pose for over 3 hours now and although she was helping when she could, her mind kept coming back to her dad.

"Do you think he just forgot about me? He just moved on, without a second thought like mother said." Meredith was analysing everything her mother had told her throughout the years in her head when she heard Derek make a noise that she could do nothing other than smirk at and raise her head to look at the man who was banging his fists against the desk in frustration.

"Firstly you know you could never believe what came out your mother's mouth, but who knows. I'm sorry Mer, truly. Secondly it could take me years to find a proper antidote and we don't have years. When I spoke with the Major he admitted that we still don't have enough people to even think about taking the city this isn't about just getting to Burke. The Major wants to make the people see that Burke is the bad guy and not what he has been painted as. The Major believes that I can find an antidote so that we can at least get the soldiers that are affected to stand down, he doesn't want any casualties. That's why he's making a big show at the city's edges…It's just a big distraction to buy us time he's hoping we can get the antidote and he's hoping that Torres and Robbins can get the information about all of Burkes indiscretions. He has no intention of invading the Central Belt coz he knows its suicide…but I just don't have anything tangible for the Major!" Derek blew the left over air from his lungs before he took another deep breath as he ran his fingers through his dark locks.

"Can you not just give everyone the heart medication and disrupt the signal or something…" Meredith started laughing at the fact she just said that out loud but Derek's eyes shot over toward her "I know…shut up it's not something you can just mess with like a satellite signal…can you?" she started to question herself when Derek's smile grew to cover his face.

"I can…I mean we can make a quick fix…your right I'm concentrating on an antidote, we don't need that right now we just need enough people to be affected by it that it will affect the quality of the XZn12, allow them to see their madness and give them a bit of clarity. Mer…you are a genius…we can disrupt the signal!" Derek grabbed a whole load of files off his desk that had been spread messily across it only seconds before.

"I hate to pop your pretty pink bubble you're bouncing around in right now but how do you expect people to take your pill. Oh hey people come take our magical mystery pill, our president has been controlling you all these years and us shady looking characters are going to make it all better…would you like a sweetie or do you just want to get into the ice cream van?" Meredith slipped off the desk and walked around looking at a shelf of books that caught her eye as she was giving her sarcastic opinion. Picking up one of the books she quickly flipped through shutting it over defiantly when she finished her comment. As dust wisped up and hit her nostrils she managed to throw a hand up just in time to catch the emanate sneeze which drew Derek's concentration back to her as he had half stopped listening when he had heard her sarcastic tones at the beginning of her ramble.

"Meredith…YOU ARE A DOUBLE GENIUS! Airborne we need to get it airborne!" and with that Derek grabbed the files and bolted from the room like a whippet leaving an amused Meredith grinning with pride.

"Genius…it runs in my family!" she whispered to herself smugly as she followed the paper trail of escaped file contents scattered across the white floor.

Callie moved slowly through the small space, it wasn't quickly enough for her liking as she was sure that every millimetre was getting tighter. The feeling of both her shoulders running along the cold metal vent walls drove her crazy. As she tried to keep her breathing steady she continued moving gradually toward the white light hoping that she'd reach the end soon. Every so often whoever was behind her kept bumping into her by mistake, well she gave them the benefit of the doubt as the only light was coming from the small glow in front of her which she was blocking out to everyone that followed. Finally reaching the end she looked down into the room to see that it was a typical clinical looking white walled large space filled with computer panels and wall to wall wires and flashing lights. Inspecting the ceiling just in-front of her she saw that there was a sprinkler that looked enough like a handle that she could hold onto as she lowered herself down onto the makeshift ladder of furniture that Arizona had placed.

Dropping herself to the ground, she felt Arizona's hands on her waist steadying her as she looked up to see Marks head poke out into the light…shaking her head at the smiling man, she realised that the bumping into her rear end was no mistake and looking at his face he knew exactly what he had been doing.

Callie looked over to the girl, as she placed the rifle she had been holding against the wall and took off her jacket. Callie was amazed as the white short sleeved t-shirt highlighted an arm full of detailed tattoos that actually continued up under the clothed area and could be seen just above her collarbone and peeking out at the bottom of her neck. What was even more of a surprise to her and now Mark who had made it to the ground was that the "twelve year old" as Callie had predicted was obviously not a twelve year old…Her figure was definitely not that of a twelve year old.

"Fuck Me!"

All three women turned and looked at Mark as his mouth open dumbfounded as he caught a proper look at the brunette.

"Erm…I…eh. Wow what beautiful tattoo's you have, why only on your left side?" Mark quickly came up with the tattoo question, he was impressed by them, they were beautiful but he was so taken aback by the girl…woman in front of him that he found himself struggling to think straight.

"Eh I'm right handed, can't draw on your right side if you're right handed!" The brunette smirked and continued to look at the man. "Do you like, I have lots more in other more covered places…it gets rather boring down here so yeah they are quite addictive once you start. I could show you, if you want?" Mark gulped a huge mouthful of air as the girl brushed her hand over his chest and winked at him playfully.

'Oh please don't be twelve, that's' wrong even for me.' Mark thought to himself as he looked at Callie and Arizona with pleading eyes, they continued to laugh at the usually confident man as he was finally a loss for words.

Mark had no idea how long he had been staring at the woman as she continued to do whatever it was she was doing, he wasn't interested other than the fact that when she bent over those trousers she was wearing tightened brilliantly snug over that…

"MARK! Close your mouth your drooling sweetie, if you don't you're going to scare the poor girl…pervert." Mark turned to find Addison with a full on smirk across her face. She found it entirely amusing that the man had turned a neon shade of red as he realised she had seen him appreciating the finer curves and not on her body. As he closed his mouth and shook his head back around to reality he realised that Addison wasn't the only one now laughing at the greying blond.

"What…it's a good ass; come on every one of you can see that!" Mark's awkwardness quickly disintegrated as his brain finally caught up that all members of the crew were now in attendance. Karev nodded in agreement as he tried a not so subtle glance, a sideward grin appeared. Arizona realising that everyone was now looking at the girl for answers took lead.

"So…my name's Arizona Robbins this is Callie, Karev, Bailey, Tim, Teddy, Yang, Hunt, Addison and the pervert is…" Arizona was cut off quickly, just before the girl took her hand in welcome Mark stepped in-front of her.

"Mark Sloan, pleasure to make your acquaintance. You are…and you'd be what age?" Arizona rolled her eyes as her friend couldn't help himself but he did seem to make the girl relax if anything, one thing that had become apparent was that she did like flirting with him and that seemed to calm her.

"My name is Alexandra but I prefer Lexie. I'm twenty two and if I remember rightly Ted left about 8 months ago with the promise of rescue, just like the one before him and them." Callie watched the girl obviously going through some stuff in her head before she asked the next question.

"I don't mean to pry but when this place was operational you were just a young child unless you are a genius I doubt that you're a scientist?"

"A genius well yes I am but a scientist who was working here when the site was operational…no. My father was lead scientist on site and we moved here when I was three. Home schooled in a situation where you're teachers are geniuses, well it produced a genius…" Lexie was cut off by the laughter of Karev who then cut in as he caught the look of question from her.

"Your pretty full of yourself too think you're a genius coz what I see is a girl trapped in a cage waiting for a big strong man to rescue her, if you were such a genius you'da been long gone from this place." He continued to look about the well-kept room, lights still flashing on wall panels and monitors still on. He stopped at a monitor showing the perimeter of the building but the sand storm still raging on made it extremely difficult to see anything.

"Well I'm definitely more of a genius than you my illiterate chimp man!"

"I'll have you know my mother and father where married thank-you-very-muchly!" Lexie rolled her eyes at him and decided she wasn't even going to explain because he wouldn't have gotten the definition. Callie and the rest bit their lips trying to stifle their laughter.

"But it doesn't take a genius to realise I was safer in here than trying to survive out there. It's a horrible feeling being trapped, that need to try anything to make it feel like you're in control of your own destiny…makes you crazy, makes you think it's a good idea to leave, to try…anyway that's why I'm left here on my own because people were stupid enough to go out there. Why would I leave, I have everything I need in here, entertainment, target practice. I also have food and water until I'm 90 but I'd already decided that I didn't want to live that long, the thought of climbing when I'm ninety doesn't sit well with me. I have a bullet saved for the day whether I do it out of its time or if I'm finally to slow and they get me hence my little attempt earlier I was so sure they had hold of me. I've seen what they do to you, especially the women!" Callie's memory flashed back to the night in the dark as she very quickly remembered everything, that feeling of shear panic and fear. The way she was grabbed…the look in his eyes, not human…a monster.

"So you have no idea what is going on out there then?" Callie shook herself from the darker thoughts back to the present.

"No I can't get a signal out because of the sand it screwed with the antennas. We did try to fix them a few years back but it was just too dangerous to keep trying to go outside. To be honest I thought we were the only ones left when the Rapture came. The older I got I wanted to know what had happened so I got nosy. I hacked the system and found out what that bastard had done. Experimenting on people, trying to take regular people and mould them into what he wanted…it isn't right. I didn't talk to my dad for a long time, then I realised that he was just following orders he promised me he didn't know anything other than what was happening here…and look that bit him on the ass. I had just took it they had taken over…I'm alive in here can't say I would be if I left." Lexie stretched out her muscles as the group continued to listen to her, captivated in her story.

"The Rapture?" Bailey, Yang, Teddy and Tim all stated at once wanting to know what had happened when they realised she wasn't going to continue talking.

"That's what my father and the other's called it. It happened before I was of any age to understand it but old Horace the crazier he got would re-tell it over and over again always starting. 'I saw the rapture. It hit everyone in that room all one hundred…I watched through the glass as heaven took some peacefully, the ones pure of soul fell to the ground serenely but the majority changed, they didn't lie down like the rest…they weren't allowed home! They were banished to live in hell, but even the devil did not wanted them so they remained…they stayed to bring death to everyone in their way.' He used to scare the shit out of me, I thought he was making it up but you should see the footage." Lexie sighed.

"There is footage! That's what we came for Lexie, we need proof of what was done to people in the camps, these changed he spoke of they have come to be known as Death Walkers and there is life once you get past the Deadlands, it's not great but we are working on rectifying that. We really need to get our hands on that information and anything else that will expose Burke for the heartless power driven monster he is. Could you show us where that information is so that Teddy can upload it. Teddy, could you get that to the Major from here?" Teddy looked at her computer quickly checking that the signal was clear.

"Yeah I can re-route the information back to the transporter and Zoe can get it back to the Major in no time at all." Teddy smiled before she heard the optimism in her own voice drop when she saw the look on Lexie's face.

"That information is contained in the lower vaults and there is no signal down there so you actually have to manually go down extract the information you need and then get back up here to send it…and looking at your faces that's more time than you have. Once we go through those doors there will be no contact with your transporter it's a failsafe to stop people stealing information." Lexie pointed to the doors.

"Really, fuck that could be like looking for a needle in a haystack…we haven't got enough time to go through hunting for the stuff before Hahn's on us like a rash." Mark tried to sound calm as he looked over to Callie and Arizona who were casually leaning against a work desk. They looked at each other before Callie sighed and pushed herself from her position.

"Okay, Zoe how long until Hahn gets here?"

"Appro…mately 30 min…tes. Th…res sand…places…there sh…n't be sand" Zoe's broken voice struggled to be heard.

Arizona looked at the monitor showing outside, all that could be seen was a wall of sand. "Looks like the sand storms picked up even more outside and because we've moved deeper into the building the signal is struggling."

"We are going to have to just face facts that we are not going to get the information we need before she gets here." Running her hands through her hair Callie brought her hand to rest over her forehead rubbing her brow forcefully hoping for a plan to formulate. Hahn wanted her so did she just wait there for her, take the fight to the woman and let the rest of the group go down and look for the information. Maybe she could hold her off long enough, but then that was assuming that Hahn would be on her own which was doubtful. It was the only way to keep everyone else safer the only problem was that she would be right in the middle and blocking her guys when they wanted to exit.

"Callie…Callie!" the brunette was stirred from her thoughts by Arizona's voice, "You are not doing that on your own, I'm not leaving you to take on Hahn yourself…"

"Are you insane Torres, that's just twelve kinds of stupid, really that woman is crazier than a shit-house rat! There is no way we're letting you do that yourself…I am Bailey and you will listen to me this time Callie Torres, my words final!" Bailey voice roared to life cutting off Arizona. Bailey had already lost her adoptive father to that woman, she certainly wasn't going to lose her sister. They might not have the same blood running through their bodies but blood was red and that was good enough for her it tied her little family together.

The room erupted into a squabbling noise filled with many voices trying to fight each other to get their opinion heard.

"ENOUGH…WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME FIGURE OUT A PLAN THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE MASS SUICIDE…PLEASE!" Callie exploded stopping everyone mid-argument she wasn't one for pulling rank so to speak because there actually wasn't any authority in the group. Callie generally just had the louder voice and she had brought them altogether so she kinda through time just grew to fit that leader role.

"I'm still waiting!" After a few moments of silence Cristina couldn't help herself.

"Em, excuse me!" Lexie quietly asked she was quite careful when approaching the older brunette, especially after watching the look that the woman had just given her friend. Callie had raised her voice and it had slightly startled the younger woman as she hadn't been used to interaction with other people in months. "What exactly are you looking for…information about the Rapture or the mind control or the camps out west way oh or the super soldier project which I gather Arizona was part of?" Lexie smiled in relief when she watched Callie's eyes widen in confusion that she knew so much about everything. There was being nosy but that place held a shit load of data and this young girl apparently had all the information they were looking for.

Lexie got a fright when Teddy came up behind her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Do you know all about that? How do you know about Arizona?"

"You never let me finish earlier…Yes you'll need to go down and manually extract the information out but you won't have to go searching for it. Just tell me what you're looking for and I can show you exactly where to find it but all I ask is that you help me…take me with you, let me come with you? I have been here nearly all my life and I really don't want to die here." Lexie relaxed when she saw Arizona smile and nod before she felt the soothing touch of the blonde which instantly had a calming effect.

"I know that the way you moved earlier is just insane plus…you can see in the dark can't you? I caught the silver. The scientists say that the affected have a silver reflective glow in their eyes when working in the dark…it's faint and not entirely noticeable unless you know to look for it and it can be mistaken for a light reflection. When I saw it earlier that and the bullet dodging triggered a memory about reading about it."

"You mean you know exactly where to pin point the information we need…that must be thousands upon thousands of files over a very difficult network, firewalls and numerous passwords to breach?" Teddy stood shaking her head in wonderment at the younger woman.

"Yeah well hello…genius like I said before and I happen to have a photographic memory so all the information is stored up in my head. That and I have my father's key card and passwords, joys of being one of the lead scientists' daughter. Ask and you shall…well receive!" Lexie smirked as she turned and said the last bit to Mark as the man turned an even brighter shade of scarlet than the one earlier. "Plus I have jammed the doors mechanical structure so it will take them some time to break into here, why we went through the vents. I knew about them they don't so that should buy you the time you need. However this is the only exit. This is the last section above ground level so there will be no avoiding your uninvited…unless, this place can get very dark when the lights are shut off. The building is like a maze and you lucky people have the only person around here with that kind of knowledge, I mean I can manoeuvre through this building with my eyes glued shut…I can help you, let me help you?!"

"Okay then, it looks like the little one has got the best game plan here. Teddy could you tell Lexie exactly what information the Major needs? Sloan, Karev go and make sure those doors are secure. Yang can you and Hunt go through you're hologram doodah and map out a route in case we get separated. Addison can you…actually just stand there and look pretty, touch nothing!" Callie smiled cheekily at the red head as watched her as she stood not really paying attention to anything other than the reflection of herself in one of the monitors fixing her make up.

"Arizona, Bailey, Tim can I speak with you all a minute?" Callie motioned for the threesome to step to the side while the rest of the group went about their allotted tasks. "Look Hahn doesn't know that Arizona is alive, it's me that she's interested in so I can distract her enough that you can lead the rest to safety, if need be you can come back and get me once you've gotten everyone else out…"

"Callie, this is not up for discussion anymore you are not taking on Hahn again yourself she nearly…no I get what you're saying but no, I'm not letting you do it alone." Arizona remembered the mess Callie was the last time she had come one on one with the assassin.

"She won't be alone Robbins, Callie's right you are our best hope at getting everyone out of here. Hunt, Karev and myself will be with her…You got it Callie, we've got your back don't even start coz this is the way it's going to happen." Bailey stood arms crossed just giving Callie that stare that always broke the other woman's resolve.

"Guys my cal..lations…show tha…assassin's creed is now 30 min…tes away as the st…m is slowing her down." Zoe's broken voice filled their ears again.

"Lexie where is the main system control, is it possible to make them go a route we want them to go?" Cristina scrunched her eyes as the younger girl didn't catch on to what she had been meaning. Jumping down from her seat she had taken on one of the desks she scurried across to where the tattooed girl had been talking with Teddy. "If we can recode some of the doors to open after a certain amount of attempts, lock others then we can control where the rats are going…That means we can keep her away from us and stop her from kicking Torres ass again."

Arizona watched Lexie's eyes widen and her head nod in the affirmative enthusiastically, she liked that idea as it would keep Callie away from Hahn. "Right can you two and Teddy go set that up as quickly as possible we need to move in the next few minutes, set the visors to night vision…it's not ideal to be in the dark, they'll probably have them too but hopefully we can stay out of their range. I doubt she'll come alone and I'm sure she'll be well prepared."

Cristina watched the girl carefully from the other end of the large control panel. Lexie had told her to stand there with Teddy in the middle and not to touch anything until she told them to. Lexie typed furiously on the keyboard but she could see the girl's brain working overtime. "Just spit it out already we don't have all day doodles!"

Lexie turned to face Cristina and scrunched up her eyes thinking about how best to ask before she just blurted it out. "Is it really okay out there and it's not the zombie apocalypse then?" Lexie reached into her pocket and took out two key cards and threw one in her direction. "We have to swipe together and you need to put in the pass code 31068 when it asks, that will allow Teddy to make the changes to the door codes."

"Well not so much wanting to eat your brains zombie's but Burke definitely made over half the population act like it. You said you moved here, I take it…well what happened with your mum and dad." Cristina actually felt awkward asking which wasn't sitting to well with her, normally she had no filter but she did have a moment when her brain thought about not asking the question. "Do you have any family that you want to find on the outside, the Major's a sour faced git but his hearts in the right place I'm sure he would help you find family for helping us." Cristina spoke as she had a look at the face and name on the key card she had just been thrown.

"They both died of natural things don't worry." Lexie smiled at Cristina when she realised why the woman had faltered slightly. "Mum died of hiccups, of all things…the medical staff didn't have a clue and Dad well he decided that the answers to everything could be found at the bottom of a bottle. Other family members outside I'm not sure anymore…I know I had a half-sister. My dad had an affair with my mum, he left his wife but she refused to divorce him until she found out my mum was pregnant with me. He was in the process of trying to get my sister before we came out here. She was ten at the time. He told me that him and her mother where going through a bitter divorce and he was going to pick her up once we were settled here, her mum was just being awkward because she knew how much my dad loved my sister. Then the problem hit here and we just got swallowed by the sand. Some of the scientists tried to get signals out while the others continued the work they were doing and then the 'Death Walkers' where created and we were trapped inside. I hope I can find her, I never met her but I have a picture that my dad carried with him…she's all the family I know about that is left." Lexie held up the picture which Cristina pretended to look interested in until she took a second glance at the girl in the photo then looked at the name on the key card.

"Was this your father?"

"Yeah it was…Why?" Lexie watched as Cristina started to laugh.

"You're a little Grey? Oh my god, that is just crazy…Did you happen to know your sister's name…It was Meredith wasn't it…Fuck, Teddy look its little Grey!"

"You know my sister?" Lexie looked surprised.

"Yeah we go way back, we're best drinking chums…I only met her last week, but Christ you just know when someone can drink that much tequila, soul-mates…you'll be best friends for life. When we get out of here we'll take you to her." Cristina smiled at the girl when a bright smile warmed her face.

"Right let's get on with this coz I really want to get out of this place. On the count of three insert the card. One…two…"

As the machine ground to a stop the solid doors opened and heavy tread boot prints marked the blank canvas of sand as one foot moved the disturbed sand was replaced by another layer returning the unblemished surface. The men worked quickly together securing the large protective material over the vehicle to stop the inner workings getting clogged up and them being stranded.

Hahn scanned the area under all her protective wear. Spotting the makeshift entrance that obviously Torres group had created she motioned for her men to follow.

Zoe watched the red bleeping signal on her monitors continue to produce a very annoying noise next to their position. "Oh shit! Come on, come on…work damn you signal send you must! . Torres, Bailey, Robbins any fricken one answer me….Entered the building, the crazy has. Hmmmmmmm…Hellllllllllloooooooooooo mother fucking titty suckers!"

Hahn took off her visor and looked around the dark room, surveying the mass off bodies scattered across the space. Moving toward one of the doors she tried her key card and code, when nothing happened except the access denied she looked to the two other men who had made their way to the other doors to try also. Both had the same result. "Perry, Harris go deal with access to the lower levels, get us in there quickly."

The group looked up at the large monitor in the darkened room deep in concentration, the eerie flicker from the security camera's added to the horrors that they were watching. The room was filled with men, women and children with a glass partition between them and the scientists on the other side. The video showed that from the ceiling a gas was released into the room but the occupants didn't realise as they continued to huddle together in there groups. Watching the timer in the bottom corner they could see that within minutes some started to convulse and rip at their faces and skin as though on fire. Others just stood looking up with expression void of anything before they eventually just lay down and stopped doing anything.

The gang stood opened mouthed at what came next, when the scientist realised that something wasn't right the door flew open and five men in bio-suits hurried over to check people and that's when the people that had been clawing at themselves pounced on the men as they started punching, kicking, beating them to a bloody mess before picking them up and throwing them through the glass and climbing threw. The video finished as the room emptied and screams could be heard from where the scientists had been only minutes before, safe behind the glass.

"What the fuck just happened?" Karev looked at Lexie as she bit her lip trying to remember where the next video was she wanted to show them was. Typing in a number code, password and then another passcode she pressed enter on the keyboard and again the screen was filled with a woman's face in which she smiled slightly and sighed.

"Six days after the failed release of the air-born XZn12 test, we managed to lock ourselves in lower level one pretty quickly…luckily all our families were already down here. We have control of everything under us but the ground level and exit is overrun with them. There were many casualties and we lost all of security who tried to fight them and also the ten scientists that where in the room. We had told Brian not to do everyone at the same time but he had wanted to see the different reactions…he was heartless he just kept saying they were lab rats and there were plenty more rats about. Thatcher tried to talk sense into him but, nothing could stop him…he got what he deserved I suppose. He wasn't happy that he had been questioned and that's why we weren't in the room with them, which I am grateful for. The thought of leaving our daughter here without us to look after her is unimaginable." Everyone in the group looked around to the brunette as she had her head toward the ground, she didn't need their looks of pity now that they realised that it was her mother talking.

"I am making this video so that one day if this is found people will know what went on here. The XZn12 was a form of control…It was meant to make people easier to suggest certain things, it was a calming thing…I suppose it's hard to explain but anyway some people it affected too well and they just didn't care anymore, they just lay down…they didn't move, they just accepted death. The majority however it took an adverse reaction and made them incredibly irritable and the aggression…Thatcher had joked that he just kept waiting for them to turn green as they hulked out. The worse aggressors where actually a group of 30 ex-soldiers, they had failed the super soldier programme. I had said not to include them because they had already been driven crazy by a lot of the experiments already done to them. They seem to have formed a leadership. Anyone who has tried to leave haven't got very far before their tracer stopped moving not very far from the compound so we don't know if they got them or the elements…" The screen flickered as an explosion from above them sent vibrations down the walls interrupting the feed.

"Fuck looks like Hahn didn't want to play guess the door code anymore? Guys looks like we're back to plan B, get the information you need Teddy…Arizona get them out of here, and be careful." Callie grabbed Arizona's waist and locked their lips together in a fiery connection hoping to pass every emotion that she was feeling through her touch. As they separated another blast shook the foundations bringing them back to reality. Touching foreheads Arizona whispered for Callie to be careful before they gave each other another kiss, Callie pulled away begrudgingly as she ran out the door with Bailey, Hunt and Karev in-tow.

"You made three mistakes!" Callie's voice filled the room as she stepped out of the darkness bringing the largest grin from the taller woman.

"Oh hey Callie…I've been looking for you." Hahn smirked. Callie continued without flinching.

"First you accepted this job. Second, you've come light, 8 people all for me that's insulting and it shows that you definitely don't know me…but the worst mistake you made. YOU MADE THIS PERSONAL and attacked my family and that is unacceptable."

"Oh Callie Callie, you know what my mistake was…that I thought we could ever be anything!" Hahn pulled her gun from her holster and aimed it at the brunettes head. Callie watched as a flick of silver flashed across the grey eyes. "I'm done playing babe!"

"Oh fuck" Callie managed to shout as they ducked for cover as the eruption of gunfire flashing lit the room every couple of seconds. The groups own firearms added to the lightshow as Hahn's group moved for cover also as the room was decorated with bullet holes.
