2006

Officially, she was dead. The story was that she had been found shot in her apartment. The syndicate had found a patsy to blame for her 'death' and the FBI called it a robbery gone badly.

What a shitty way to die.

Diana thought to herself as she applied her make up. She was older now, the lines on her face were clear, but she looked good for her age. Her brown hair was straight and hung free around her face and she wore a yellow sundress. It was not really her style, but she knew that she needed to look her part.

Today would be her first day of her newest assignment and she was still not sure how she felt about it.

After she was taken and her death was falsified, she was forced to go through some re-education. It was not as bad as many because Spender had a soft spot for her, but he felt it was best if she was retrained and sent somewhere far away from Fox Mulder.

She had continued her work with the shadow government by helping them document and keep track of the abductees and eventually assisted with the Super Soldier project.

She had heard stories about the miracle child that Dana Scully had given birth to. She could not help but feel angry that this woman was given the life that she had wanted and there was a perverse pleasure that she got when she heard that the child had to be given up.

Agent Scully was no fool and Diana knew that. She had known that if the syndicate and groups like it knew where her son was, they would eventually use him. Unfortunately for Dana, the men against her and the men Diana worked with, had connections all over. The first social worker to take possession of William Scully was an enemy of Scully and Mulder. The social worker took the baby right to the men who wanted him. They did not want to hurt the child; they simply wanted to study him.

So they planted a tracker in his neck that would feed information back to them periodically. The trouble was that they also wanted to be able to watch the child's growth. They knew that Jeffery Spender had injected William with something that would stunt the growth of his powers, but they also knew it wouldn't last.
They wanted someone there when William's powers began to form.

That is where Diana came in. She had requested the assignment and they were all to happy to hand it over to her. To Diana, it was her way of being close to Fox.

She knew that she had betrayed him on many levels and she was sure that he would never understand that everything she had done, was done out of love. Yes, she used him in a way, but it was all for his own good and the good of mankind.

She had known giving her key card to Scully had been the right choice, but she hated it that Scully was then his savior. She had known of Fox's feelings for Dana Scully as soon as she had seen them, but she felt that she had put up a good fight. She had almost had him for a while there, but there was something about the short red head that kept drawing him back.

It had annoyed Diana to no end and the Smoking Man had assured her that eventually Agent Scully would be out of the picture, but in the end it was Diana who was taken out of the picture.

She reviewed her part in her head. She was a new member of the Casper first Christian Church and she was told to get close to the Van De Kamps. She pulled up in front of the church and took a quick look in the mirror. She ran her fingers through her hair and adjusted the sun hat on her head.

Perfect. She thought to herself.

As soon as she entered the church she had seen William. He was running around the small church building with a few other children playing tag. His light strawberry blond hair blew as he ran through the small crowd, dodging adults who laughed at his antics. She had seen a picture of him but she would have known him without a picture. He looked like Fox.

She sighed and scanned the room for Mr. and Mrs. Van De Kamp. Her eyes landed on the couple.
The woman had short dark brown hair and a petite figure. She wore a flowered dress that went past her knees and modest heels. Her husband was balding slightly but had a handsome enough face. He wore a shabby looking suit and looked like he would have been more comfortable in a pair of jeans.

Diana walked toward them trying to look aimless and out of place. She grabbed a bulletin and stood near them reading it and occasionally looking up. She saw Leah Van De Kamp noticing her out of the corner of her eye. The woman took her husband's hand and made her way over to Diana.

"Hello, are you new here? I don't believe I have seen you before. I am Leah Van De Kamp." The simple but pretty woman said as she smiled and held out her hand.

"You have a good eye! Yes I am new. New to town and new to the faith actually. Trying to start over you know? I am Diana Lewis." Diana responded kindly and shook Leah's hand.

"This is my husband, Daniel, we both grew up in this town going to this church. It is so nice to see a fresh face!"

"Mom!" William ran up to them out of breath, "Can I go with Talon's house after church?"

Leah looked at him with the look only a mother can give and then looked back at Diana, "Diana this is our son, William. Will…" she said his name warningly to tell him to focus for a minute.

William turned to Diana as if just noticing her and smiled holding out a small hand, "Hi. Nice to meet you."

Diana could tell that he was still distracted, but she thought it was so cute that he shook her hand. He was wearing a blue polo shirt with kaki pants and his hair was a mess on his head.

"Nice to meet you William." Diana responded taking his small hand in hers.

William turned back to Leah, "Mom? Please!"

"Did he ask his parents?"

"Yep!" William turned and pointed to another couple with a small boy that looked to be William's age. The boy tugged at his mother who turned and looked to Leah. She nodded her head and smiled silently communicating in secret mother language.

Leah sighed, "Fine. But I want you home by dinner. Be good!" She said the last part louder as William ran back to his friend yelling, "She said yes!"

The two boys high fived and resumed running around.

"He is adorable," Diana said sincerely.

"An adorable trouble maker!" Leah said affectionately as she watched her son.

A man stood up and asked the congregation to begin to find their way to their seats.
Leah turned, "Would you like to sit with us?"

"Yes, that sounds wonderful."

Almost too easy. Diana thought with a smile.

As the years went by, Diana was a casual friend of the family. She did not spend much time with William who was usually out of the house anyways. He was an active boy with an active imagination.

He and his friends would run around the house playing out one fantasy or another that was thought of by William.

Diana never saw anything too strange about William, but Leah would share some odd stories that had to do with William. She would share that William seemed to know what she was thinking sometimes and that it felt like he almost could see through people.

That had worried Diana, as he got older. She kept her distance from him in fear that he would figure out her real place in his life.

When William began to dream of Scully, Leah had shared it with her. Diana had fought a grimace as she heard about the detailed visions of his birth mother. She, of course, knew that the visions were real, but she tired to convince Leah that they meant nothing. She could tell that Leah didn't believe that.

It was only a few weeks later that both Leah and William disappeared to D.C.

Diana was in a panic as her bosses contacted her that the outbreak had started in D.C. and other major cities.

They sent a private jet to pick her up in the middle of nowhere. The jet ride felt like forever to Diana and when they finally arrived the scale of the destruction was amazing. She was able to make it to the hospital where Scully worked by pure luck and short cuts.

She hid in the shadows of the hospital and was not sure what to do as she watched Dana Scully move from patient to patient-running check ups. Finally, Scully left the room and turned down a hall. Diana followed behind from a distance and was careful not to be caught. She watched as Dana entered a hospital room and slowly moved closer as she stayed close to the wall. When she got next to the door, she was flat against the wall. She could hear soft conversation from within and could tell that Scully's back was to her. She moved her head to take a quick look in.

She saw Scully sitting in a chair next to Leah Van De Kamp looking at two hospital beds in front of them.

One held a defeated looking Mulder and the other an unconscious, but healthy looking William.

Diana felt her heart race as her eyes rested on Fox and she had to calm herself.

She was still not sure what to do. Her bosses were so distracted by the outbreak that they had only told her to follow the kid, but had yet to give further instruction.

Diana walked away from the room quietly so she would not be caught. She knew that she would be able to hide in the chaos of the hospital and keep an eye on William. She was not sure what she would do from there.
