~~~Right Outside Terminal City Entrance~~~
About two blocks away from the main entrance into Terminal City, a young man stumbled his way through the streets. He tried to walk straight as to not draw attention to himself. But he couldn't hide the pain he felt all around his body, his ribs being the worst. The taste of blood still stuck inside his throat. He was thankful for the dark night, hiding himself from everyones gaze. He was scared and nervous about what he was going to do. He knew if he didn't, he would die. Those bastards had inserted some kind of explosive into the nerve on the back of his neck, conected to his spinal cord, and if they suspected him of betraying them, he would die. He looked around the area and saw no one was in sight.
"I need to find someone, where are they?" he thought.
~~~Terminal City Command Center~~~
"Look here, looks like we got company." Mole said pointing into the T.V. screen.
"Friend or foe?" asked Jann.
"Well, one way to find out." Mole said cocking his shotgun.
~~~Right Outside of Terminal City~~~
The young man walked towards Terminal City but stopped, as he could hear movement coming from around him. He slowly turned to look behind him, but no one was there. He then looked to his left, nothing. He looked to his right and was greeted with the black hole of a shot gun to his face.
"State your designation?" Mole demanded.
"X6-954," said the young male transgenic.
Mole whistled and two other anomalies and two transgenic's appeared. One of which was Jann, who approached 954 and proceeded to check his bar code.
"He's one of us," Jann said.
"Well, then. Welcome to Trans City." Mole said lowering his shot gun.
~~~Joshua's House~~~
Isis walked back into the kitchen with the first aid kit, when she saw Alec's back. He had taken his jacket off and the back of his shirt was stain with blood. Alec heard her walk in and turned to look at her.
"You have blood on your back, I'll need to clean it," she said.
Alec nodded. Isis was walking towards him when Alec took his shirt off. Isis looked away, blushing. Alec saw Isis looking away and couldn't help but smile. She was still shy around him.
"You don't have to do this," he said.
"No…you're hurt and these cuts need tending to. They need to be cleaned, to avoid any infections, so.…just sit down." Isis said blabbering.
Alec sat down and Isis finally looked back at him. She tried to not think about how good he looked without his shirt. She took some of the cotton balls and peroxide. She walked behind Alec and gasped at his back. There was still some glass penetrating his skin. She reached for a tweezers.
"I have to take the glass out to clean out the wounds," she told Alec.
"I know the drill," Alec said taking a deep breath waiting for her to start digging the glasses out.
Isis reached for one of the broken glass and pulled it out. Alec winced. For the next five minutes Isis pulled out five broken glass pieces from Alec's back. Now came the stinging part. Isis poured some peroxide onto a towel and then placed it on one of Alec's wounds.
"Shit!"
"Oh, don't be a baby." Isis said.
"A little warning would have been nice," Alec said.
"Just sit still am almost done."
Isis finished cleaning the wounds and was finishing up patching his back when Alec said something.
"Just like old times, huh?"
Isis froze mid tapping a piece of gauze over one of the wounds. Alec realized what he had just said and wished he hadn't said anything at all. Isis tapped the gauze and started cleaning up the mess.
"I'm done. You should be good to go." Isis said.
"Isis," Alec said standing up next to her and putting his shirt back on.
Isis couldn't continue like this. She needed to stop acting this way and face what was right in front of her. Maybe, just maybe this was a second chance. He had just confessed to her why he had done what he did to her back then, and the way she just healed him, it was just like things were back then.
"It still hurts, to think about it. You were my best friend, my first friend. No one wanted anything to do with me, because I was a Half Breed. But you…" Isis turned to look up at Alec.
"You didn't care. I always thought you were different from the rest. That Manticore hadn't been able to break you into their little soldier."
Alec stared down at her.
"If what you told me is true, that Renfro ordered you to leave…."
"It is," Alec pleaded.
"Then maybe…maybe we could try again."
Alec couldn't believe what he was hearing, nor could Isis believe what she was saying.
"What do you mean by that?" Alec asked wanting to hear what she wanted them to be.
"I'm not saying we could go back to how we were. But we could cope, with being around each other and be…civil."
"Civil?" Alec said confused.
"Yes, civil. I need time, to be around you. I need to be able to trust you again." Isis said.
"All I ask is that we try." Alec said going to stand closer to her.
Isis nodded. They both stared into each other's eyes when they were interrupted by unwanted guests.
"You're not going to kiss again are you?"
Both Alec and Isis turned to see Chuck and Joshua standing in the doorway of the kitchen.
"How long have you guys been standing there?" Isis asked.
"Long enough to hear that you guys are going to be friends again," Chuck said with a big smile on his face, showing his dimples.
"I never said that, I said we would be…"
"Civil, I know. Meaning friends, although I don't think friends are suppose to kiss in the mouth like you guys did last time." Chuck said walking towards the table and grabbing a plate to eat breakfast.
Isis blushed at the memory. Alec smirked at the kid. He turned to look at Isis as she looked at him through the corner of her eyes. Alec didn't know what had caused him to kiss her.
"Isis red," Joshua said.
Isis blushed even more.
"I think I should be heading out." Alec said.
"Don't you want any breakfast? Isis knows how to cook the best scrambled eggs with bacon ever," Chuck said taking a fork full of bacon and eggs into his mouth.
Isis turned to look at Alec. He gave her a small smile.
"Maybe next time," he said.
Alec started to walk out of the kitchen.
"We'd like that." Isis said.
Alec's smile widened and Isis smiled back. This was progress. Alec knew he could fix things between them. The only thing now, he didn't know how he could control what he was starting to feel for her again. It was the same way he had started feeling with Rachel, and that scared him.
What you think? So Demitri is up to someting, but what? And who is this new transgenic? And will Alec and Isis be able to work things out and realize that they care about each other? Stay tune and find out. ^-^ I will try my hardest to keep up with this story. Working on the next chapter but don't know when I'll post it. Will be soon though. Sorry again for the wait.
