Well lookie here, I think I posted another chapter. ^-^ Enjoy.

~~Crash~~

Alec had gone to Crash and was hitting the scotch pretty hard. Not that it would do much. Transgenics never get drunk. He had become close friends with the barkeeper; he knew he was safe there. Not that he couldn't take care of himself, but it's better safe than sorry. He usually called Sketchy, but he felt like being alone tonight. Alec looked around and he could see a group of girls looking at him, smiling and showing they wanted him to come over. He just smiled. Why not, he thought. Maybe it would take his mind off of a certain someone, and get him back on track. Alec got up from the stool and walked towards them.

"Hello, ladies"

~~Joshua's House~~

Isis was alone in her room. Max had left about an hour ago and she had been in her room ever since then. All she could think about was about Alec. Memories of the times they spent together, happy, came to her mind. But they were all crushed with memories of the pain he had caused her by pushing her away. Saying those hurtful words to her. She knew why he did it. Renfro made sure she did.

~~Flashback to Manticore December 13, 2019~~

Isis was tied down on a table with a gag in her mouth, to keep her from screaming. She had been here for two weeks. The Doctors have been running nothing but test on her. Trying to find out how it is she made it this far. She had been the first, and only Human Hybrid they were able to keep alive. They had given up after so many terminated fetus implantations. But she had been their little miracle. The only problem was she was more human, then anything. The scientist that had formed the artificial insemination by combining feline and human DNA had made a mistake in the other genes that were to be added. They had been carless when they created her and inserted her into a surrogate mother. They had added the right amount of feline DNA, but they had misdiagnosed the right amount of human DNA with the rest of the key abilities necessary for her to be a super soldier. They made her weak, with no super abilities as the X5-series. She was the first X6 and they had made a mistake. But after seeing how easily an X5 was able to grow comfortable with her. They had decided she was not an Anomolie anymore. She was useful. The only problem was the entire tests they were running on her to see just how useful she could be. But it was mostly Renfro who had demanded the examinations. As though she knew Isis was more important then everyone thought she was. They had kept her tied down so she wouldn't try to escape, but the gag had been added for a certain reason. As the sedatives they had given her.

Isis looked around her and she saw two guards walking in the infirmary ward. Followed by the Doctor and Renfro. The Doctor took the gag off and untied Isis. He helped her sit up. The two guards were at the door guarding it, as if Isis would be able to out run them. No super speed, how could she.

"X6-949, it's good to see your up," Renfro said smiling.

Isis just stared at her.

"I hope you understand the need to have sedated you?" she continued.

Isis knew. They have been doing this to her since she had bleed for the first time. When she had truly become a woman, in better terms, she hit puberty. The word they had used for better terminology was "Heat". Due to the feline DNA in her system, she was propone to a sort of heat cycle three times a year. Which was a bitch for her and for any female X-series. The other female X-series where locked away in their courters. Kept away from the male X-series to avoid any unauthorized copulation between them. But her, they always sedated her. Almost like they wanted to keep her from suffering like the rest. Sedated she felt nothing. The rest, they were locked away feeling and suffering till the heat went away.

"You have been a thorn on my side, 949. But now, with the new discovery we have made, you are once again, a soldier. No longer an Anomilie." Renfro said walking up to Isis.

Isis just stared at her. They had not used the lasers on her, afreard she might go blind. Instead they used videos, repeating them over and over again.

"You could leave us," Renfro said to the two guards and Doctor, who looked at her with caution.

"It's okay. She won't hurt me." Renfro said with such confidence.

The two guards and Doctor walked out of the room leaving both Renfro and Isis alone.

"949, you have come a long way. I still remember the day you were born. I also remember the same day it was diagnosed that you were more human than the rest. You were given feline DNA, thus you have enhanced eyesight, hearing, and night vision. Why you have good reflexes, coordination. The only problem was your strength, speed, agility. Amongst, other key abilities a X-series is to possess." Renfro said.

Isis stared at her. She knew all of this already.

"You are very smart, Isis. You have a high I. Q. just like the rest of my soldiers," Renfro said walking towards Isis.

"I just don't know if you were smart enough to know right from wrong."

"I don't understand," Isis finally spoke up.

"You see, you weren't smart enough to keep your secret meetings with 494 away from me." Renfro said.

Isis turned to look at her.

"You should do wise and remember who I am 949. I'm the Director of this facility and I have many keeping an eye out for you." Renfro said.

"Why?" Isis asked.

Renfro stayed silent and got up to walk away.

"Wait. Did…did you make 494 leave?" Isis asked. She needed to know.

"Your special, Isis." Renfro said confirming what Isis had suspected the night they had come for her.

Isis couldn't believe Renfro called her by her name.

"Sandeman was right. You were the miracle we have been waiting for," Renfro said walking out of the room. Leaving a very confused and devastated Isis.

~~~End of Flashback~~~

"What had she meant by Sandeman was right? What could I have meant to him?" Isis asked herself.

She thought about Alec then. He had been following orders to end his friendship with her. But, it still didn't stop the hurtful ache she felt inside every time she remembered that single moment. Alec's words still haunted her. She wished she didn't remember but, she could never forget it. Isis looked outside her window and saw it had started to rain. Miles away, Alec was just arriving to his apartment. He looked at his watch and saw it was two in the morning. He had just beaten the rain that was now pouring outside. Alec took his jacket off and dropped it on the sofa. He then walked towards the window and stared outside, looking at the droplets of water hitting the glass. He had tried to have fun with the little group of girls he had met at Crash, but he couldn't. Somehow, he'd end up thinking about Isis.

"Isis," Alec whispered.

"Alec," Isis whispered back in her room at Joshua's house.

Isis had made up her mind. She was going to talk with Alec. Let him explain why he hurt her. She was going to try and forgive him. Seeing him had awaken her feelings for him again. But this time, she wasn't going to be the innocent little girl who was dumb enough to open up her heart to him again. She had closed up her heart a long time ago.

~~Terminal City~~

Logan was in his office when Max walked in the room.

"Max?"

"She could read them," Max said standing in front of Logan's desk.

"Read what?" Logan asked confused.

"The writings on my skin, Isis could read them."

"How can that be?" Logan said not comprehending how this could be.

"I don't know. Maybe Sandeman had something to do with it. But, Logan, this is good. We'll finally be able to know what they mean. We'll be one step closer in solving Sandeman's mystery." Max said smiling with joy.

Logan smiled seeing Max smile. They had finally gotten some good news.

Ta da! What do you guys think? Getting good? Let me know what you guys think of this so far. ^-^
