Six?"
Six tilted his head. He said in a very small voice, "How did you get so tall? Why do I sound like...like small?" He glanced at his hands and looked back at Rex, "How come my hands are small?" Six became very, very confused. He wasn't tall, he had a weird voice, and he had soft, small hands instead of large, calloused ones. Rex took a deep gulp. He thought, oh my god! He's a toddler! How...how am I going to tell him? Wait, I don't have to panic. Holiday will be able to fix this...I hope.
Rex bent down on his knee and hesitated slowly. "Um, Six. I think you just turned back into a five year old." Six's eyes widened, "No! I am not five! I don't want to be five." Six blinked back tears, "I want to be big! I don't want to be five again." Rex looked around worriedly then back at Six. The Mexican thought, Damn, Six was an emotional five years old.
Rex didn't want the other's to notice so he put his hand on Six's bare little shoulder. Rex said encouargely, "Don't worry Six. I'll get you back to normal." Six rubbed his eyes and looked up at Rex. He whimpered, "Really?" Rex smiled slightly, "Of course. We just need to get you back to Holiday and she'll get you to your good o'l self again." Six nodded slightly.
Rex just remembered that Six's clothes were now ten times too big on him. He doubts that Six could fit into that. Rex picked up the green jacket first and wrapped it around Six. He picked the boy up and covered more of him with his jacket. Six struggled, "I don't want to be picked up!" Rex growled, "We'll, I can't have you walk around nude. This is the only way I can cover you up, at least until I find you some clothes." Six glared at the ground and crossed his arms, angry that he couldn't break this boy's neck or anyone's neck at that.
Rex gathered the rest of Six's suit and carried the ball of clothes and weapons in his other arm. He glanced at the little Six, now to find him some clothes. He glanced back at the other agents. They didn't notice anything that had happened. So Rex silently walked away from the group.
Rex walked around the ally ways when he spotted a clothes line that happened to have little kid clothes. "Perfect." He placed Six down on a large crate, "Don't move..." Six crossed his legs and pouted about his dilemma. Rex turned around and brought out his punkbusters. He knelt down and jumped up. He managed to snag the small shirt and pants and landed back down on the asphalt. He walked over to Six and threw the clothes at him, just like how Six would do it.
Six caught them and looked them over. He crossed his arms, "I don't wanna wear it." Rex crossed his arms and hovered over him, "Yes, you will. There are no other clothes for you Six. It's either this or going commando." Six weighed his choices and decided to take to the 'borrowed' clothing. Once Six was dress in a light blue shirt and black pants, he stood in front of Rex. He glared at the floor, "Can we go home now." Rex tried not to laugh at how Six was acting, he never seen his protector be in a temper tantrum. Rex nodded, "Ya."
He bent down and picked the boy up once again. Rex set his goggled over his eyes and smirked, "Hang on Six."
Rex landed in the landing dock and ran inside. He put a finger on his 'com, "Um, Holiday. We have a problem with Six." Holiday replied, "What's wrong with him? Is he hurt?" Rex sighed and whispered to Six, "She is such a worry wart." Six just glared down, still upset about the whole thing. The Mexican replied back, "No, he's...well he's in one piece. It's too much to explain, you'll see when I get over there." Rex ended the transmission and kept running, dodging anyone when the teen had the chance.
He managed to make it to Holiday's lab. Rex opened the door and quickly shut it. Holiday was filling something out, but didn't look back. She said, "Wow that was..."She stopped once she turned around and saw Six. She raised an eyebrow, "Why do you have a toddler in your arms? You know Rex, just because Six found you don't mean you can go around kidnapping children." He shook his head, "This isn't a random kid, and this is Six. Take a closer look at him!" She was about to say something back but shook it off. Holiday focused more on Six, trying to see any resemblance to Six.
Rex gave an exaggerated breath, "Take a blood test then! It has his exact blood type, I know!" Holiday gave Rex a look like he just came out of an asylum. She went to play along, "Fine, I'll play your game Rex. Put 'Six' on the table over there." She pointed to a table. He walked over to the table and placed Six down. Six crossed his arms, "When will Holiday bring me back to normal?" Rex groaned, "Is that all you say? Don't worry, she will once she believes that you are, well, you." Holiday walked over to Six with a needle in her hand. Six's eyes went wide and looked away. Rex covered his mouth, trying not to laugh at Six's new fear.
Holiday tighten up his arm and stuck the needle in his skin, drawing out a little blood. She pulled back and placed a band-aid on Six's arm. Six smoothed the band-aid with his chubby little fingers.
After a couple minutes, Holiday gasped. Rex smirked, "I told ya it was him!" Holiday slowly walked back to the boys. She looked at Six, "How did this happen?" Rex rubbed the back of his neck. He thought long and hard until he remembered the pink mist that the crab sprayed at Six. He said, "Well, that crab evo that Six and I fought hit Six with this pink, mist thing. When I went over to him, he was just sitting in his clothes. As a five year old!"
Six spoke up, "I want to be big again Holiday!" She bent down and stroked his cheek, "Don't worry Six, I'll find something." She straightens up and glanced back at Rex, "Well, Six is starting to act like a five year old. Might be that since he is younger, his brain became younger. He still remembers his memories but his brain is making him act...more his age." Rex shrugged, "Can you cure him?"
She went over to the computer and typed around for a bit, "Maybe, might take a week or so. Till then you have to keep watch of him." Rex's jaw dropped, "Why do I have to watch him? Why can't you?" She glared over at him, "He protected you so now you protect him. Besides, I have to find the cure for him. Or do you just want him like that forever?" Rex glanced back at Six and groaned, "Fine, but you owe me!"
Holiday chuckled, "Fine." She went over to Six, "Don't worry Six, I'll find you that cure." Six smiled slightly then looked towards the ground, waving his feet.
