Hello! This is a blooming romance between Six/Rex. I do not own Generator Rex MOA does. If I DID own Generator Rex, it would go like this:

Note: I want this closer to "Realistic" so Rex isn't as uber powered and uninjurable as he is on the show. Also, Six will eventually become somewhat OOC but this is my vision of who he is without his stony stoic mask.

A couple of weeks had passed since Six took the girl home with him. Holiday frowned. He hadn't been to her lab since then, preferring to take the girl to Cesar of all people instead. Six didn't really trust Cesar that much to begin with; especially after Van Kleiss claimed that he was the one who triggered the nanite event.

'So why trust him with a little girl that's so precious to him? Why can't he come to me?'

Little Spirit had it in her head that she was scary. Holiday wondered if it was the lab coat or if her bedside manner was off putting in anyway. Was it because she was a more serious person and Cesar while was borderline insane?

While Holiday was lost in thought Rex was going stir-crazy... Normally he liked quiet times like this but it was getting too awkward for him. New feelings started to become more apparent as he began to see Six in a whole new light. Rex always admired the older man and often thought that his feelings were just that. Admiration. But now he wasn't so sure... The love and affection he thought that he had felt towards Circe and Holiday had faded drastically. It transferred to Six of all people.

But it was so much more than just mere hormones... It felt like a combination of a burning all consuming fire and something so much deeper.

Once upon a time Rex had thought of Six as an annoying father figure who wouldn't let him do anything fun. Now, he wasn't so sure how he saw the stoic agent. It really sucked but Rex started to avoid Six, afraid that his newfound feelings would surface and scare the older man away.

Rex sighed at how unlikely it would be for Six to return his feelings. The man was twelve years older than him for starters. He was also his opposite in a many ways, which was both infuriating and intriguing.

Rex's hormones would get the best of him and he would wonder how a man like Six would be like in bed. For some reason he pictured him as a gentle lover and while not particularly romantic he would certainly try to be. At least Rex hoped he'd care enough to try… Rex knew from his fantasies that he was fiery and passionate. He wondered how that would translate in the bedroom...

He glanced over at the older man as he worked on learning sign language with Spirit. For someone who's education didn't go beyond preschool she caught on fairly quickly.

Rex smirked, 'I bet she turns into a complete chatterbox.'

Since Spirit still disliked Holiday so much everyone else pitched in on teaching her. Rex was helping her with math. Cesar covered science. Six, as it turns out, was really into literature while Callan was a total history buff. They each set aside an hour a day with her. She really seemed to be enjoying herself.

Though the most amazing thing happened when she was introduced to music. Rex had a meeting with White and the others. White, surprisingly enough, had violin music softly playing in the background in his office. Spirit's eyes widened and she began to cry.

"Mija! What's wrong?" Rex asked.

"It's so beautiful," Sprit signed.

That's how she came to have Callan's old radio in her room. Now Spirit listened to classical music while doing her homework at her desk. She also seemed to like jazz or at least she didn't change the station or turn it off when it came on at night. Six smiled as he listened to the music through the wall. He was actually quite enamored with jazz having grown up in Louisiana and all. He even played jazz piano once upon a time.

Six wondered if she would like to play an instrument… Or learn to dance. As she grew stronger Spirit really began to live up to her name. She was a spirited child with a sunny disposition so long as you weren't the one who woke her up in the morning...

He smirked as he remembered Rex complaining that she threw her pillow and one of several stuffed animals at him. Apparently some of the grunts found her adorable and began to spoil her as well. It was more likely that they felt bad for her being locked up in such a horrid place. Six was personally quite proud of how resilient she was. Spirit kept trying to look to the future and forget her past. Though her nightmares made that impossible. She still snuck into his bed every once and a while. He still couldn't figure out how she did that without waking him.

The music grew louder and there was a knock at his door.

"Come in!"

Spirit came running in with her radio in hand. She sat down on the bed with him and put the radio on his bed stand. Spirit held up her book. She was having trouble reading something. Spirit needed to know how a word sounded and since she couldn't sound it out herself she often went to Six for help.

"Flamel," Six said.

Yes. He had her reading Harry Potter. It apparently ignited a love of reading in a lot of children and he wanted to ensure that she wouldn't turn into a TV loving vegetable like most children did.

Spirit sat next to him reading silently for the most part. When she got stuck she would point to a word and he would pronounce it clearly and slowly for her.

Spirit jumped when the alarm went off.

"Looks like we have an EVO to deal with," Six said, "I'll be home soon."

Spirit gave him a concerned look and hugged him tightly before diving under the covers and cuddling up with her bunny and her book.

Six smirked, "Alright. You wait right here for me."

The problem with this EVO? It wasn't an EVO, just as how the Chupacabra down in Mexico wasn't an EVO. It was a Chimera. A three-headed creature if you didn't include the snake that made up its tail. The goat was just plain annoying and loud while the lion had a sonic roar, the dragon breathed fire, and the snake spit poisonous acid.

Six was doing his matrix thing. He leaped into the air and just barely dodged both fire and acid as they sandwiched him chest to back. He frowned as his tie was burnt off and had had to rip off his blazer because acid began to eat away at it. Rex began wailing on it more or less. Most of Providence's "red shirts" were still miraculously standing and shooting at the beasty.

Rex let out a sharp cry of pain. His nanites failed him as the snake's fangs sank deep into his chest. He fell to the ground, bleeding badly as the acid began to eat away at his flesh. Six dodged fire and a sonic roar to get Rex to safety. He took the younger man's jacket off and placed it over his wound to try to stop the bleeding. Rex howled in pain. Six winced as the acid began to eat through to his hands.

Six wasn't an EVO... The poison affected him much quicker than it did Rex. He began to black out. Callan and some of his men grabbed the two and headed for home. The beast was too powerful and in a sparsely populated location so they had no choice by to initiate a bleach protocol to get rid of it. Six and Rex were both unconscious and badly bleeding.

No one could even bandage their wounds with the acid eating through things so quickly. Callan had radioed Holiday that Six and Rex were down as well as a couple of the grunts and they needed medical help ASAP.

"Get them to the med lab!" Holiday screamed.

Spirit woke up upon hearing that woman's unusually shrill voice. She opened the door and saw everyone zooming by with Rex and Six unconscious and bloody. Rex was literally dripping blood as the wheeled him to the lab. Six's hands were nothing but bone. Her eyes widened in horror and she ran after them.

Holiday tried to keep her out once she reached the lab, "This is no place for children."

Spirit mustered up what little strength she had and shoved past her. She placed her hand on Six's bare shoulder and the strange aura appeared, slowly healing his hands and ridding his body of poison.

She poured more and more of her power into it to the point where the room was spinning for her. Once her powers would no longer activate she knew he was fine.

Holiday rushed over and checked out Six's hands… They were perfectly fine! Not a scratch on them! She sighed as she remembered the one time he held her hand as they were dying under that nanite goop in Abysus. It was one of few times that he had ever reached out to her. His hands were so strong and warm. They were very reassuring…

Spirit began to heal Rex, his Omega Nanite was keeping him alive, but the acid began to eat away at his heart. As she healed him, a large wound appeared on her chest, blood began pouring down her shirt, as his wound became hers. She fell to the floor in an unconscious bloody heap.

Holiday snapped out of her thoughts and picked the little girl up off the floor. She quickly cut away the girl's shirt and was horrified to find her heart exposed just as Rex's had been. She quickly placed her in bed and put her under a hermetically seal quarantine curtain. She knew that Spirit's healing powers would likely be able to take on any germs she'd encounter but the girl was so weak…

Holiday watched, feeling slightly ill that she could actually see the girl's heart beating. There wasn't really all that much she could do for her but keep her covered and keep her safe…

She glanced over at Six who was still out cold. Holiday sighed, wishing that she could be closer to the mysterious man. Six was always so oblivious to her advances but it just seemed to grow worse now that this little girl was in his life. She waited until everyone was stable before finally retiring to her office/bedroom for a well-deserved rest.

Holiday had slept in when Six awoke a couple of days later. It stuck the older man as strange to not see her flitting about her lab at this hour. He looked to his right and saw Rex who had his back to him. The bed next to him was covered in plastic, indicating that whoever was inside was under quarantine.

"Who's that?" Six asked.

Rex turned, his eyes red and puffy from lack of sleep and crying, "Spirit."

"Spirit?" Six parroted, struggling to sit up.

Rex helped him up with a frown. He knew that Six needed his rest but wasn't about to point that out to the older man.

"Apparently she shoved her way past Holiday and into the med lab. But she bit off more than she could chew. That wound on her is mine. Cesar is working on something that will jump-start her healing maybe even fix her voice. Though he thinks that in her current condition it may just be best to wait."

Six sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Any idea when she'll wake up?"

Rex shook his head.

Six held his head in his hands.

Rex placed a hand on the older man's shoulder, "She'll be fine."

"I know. She's a survivor."

"It kind of sucks that we can't hold her hand..."

Six nodded.

Rex smirked to himself mentally. He knew it all along. Six really was a big softy on the inside...

Six was by her side whenever he could be. Rex, Callan, and Cesar would occasionally visit. Holiday had her under constant supervision. She documented her healing process and watched with morbid fascination as her skin knitted itself back together thanks to that ever-present aura.

It would nearly a week later when Spirit would wake up to a sleeping Rex. Six was at the bottom of her bed, reading her chart. She reached out and tugged on the plastic. Six looked up. A genuine smile lit up his face as he ripped aside the plastic and pulled the little girl into a hug.

Spirit was stunned that Six was being so affectionate but she didn't question it. It was nice to pretend that someone cared about her. She wondered if this is what it was like to have a real dad. She hugged him back as tight as her weak little body would allow.

Rex sprung up, "Mija!"

He hugged her tightly, even slinging an arm around Six's shoulders.

"What did I miss?" She signed.

Rex laughed, "Not much. Just Six and me losing sleep as well as sanity."

Spirit automatically began to tear up. She looked down and shied away from them.

"What's wrong?" Six asked.

"My dad was right. I really am nothing but a burden. He used to tell me that all the time. I'm sorry," Spirit signed while trying hard not to cry.

Six frowned. Rex could only imagine all the horrible things Six wanted to do to that man.

Six sighed and held her, "You aren't."

That only made her cry harder out of relief. She was afraid that Six would make her leave like her father did.

Rex grinned, "Cesar makes the best ice cream sundaes. Want me to go get him?"

Spirit nodded shyly as she wiped away her tears.

Six waited until they were alone before sitting down at the chair the Rex had occupied.

"Spirit. You will never be a burden to me," Six said simply.

Spirit smiled and hugged him. Six smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. He smoothed out her tangled hair. That was how Rex and Cesar found them. The Salazar brothers were stunned into silence upon seeing how caring Six was towards the little girl.

Cesar coughed, "Sundaes are here."

Cesar had brought a small sundae for Spirit and larger ones for Six, Rex, and himself. Six looked at the sundae warily, he was never all that fond of sweets. Rex looked at him expectantly, after all had made that one himself… He even added heart shaped sprinkles.

Six sighed and ate his sundae. He raised an eyebrow as Rex's cheeks turned a slight tinge of pink.

"Mija. Want to meet my friend, Noah? We're going up top to shoot hops," Rex offered.

Spirit looked to Six who frowned, "After a bath. You'll feel better."

She nodded and tried to stand. Spirit wobbled and would've fallen had Rex not caught her. She gave Rex a terrified look.

"Don't worry mija. Your legs are fine. You just spent too much time in bed."

He picked her up effortlessly, "Hey Cesar. How about putting her on a diet? She's not gaining anything."

Cesar nodded, "I'll draw up a plan now that her stomach is better. That reminds me..."

Cesar pulled a pair of nicely made silver framed glasses from his shirt pocket and place them on her, "How's that?"

Spirit grinned and motioned for him to come closer. Cesar raised and eyebrow and did so. She hugged him from Rex's arms.

He grinned and messed up her hair, "Glad you like them mija. Come by tomorrow for some blood work and I'll write up a diet plan, okay?"

Spirit nodded.

Rex set her down and Six took her hand, slowly getting her to walk. She winced as tears of pain ran down her cheeks. It felt like her nerves were on fire! Six frowned and picked her up.

"A nice warm bath with loosen you up and sooth your nerves."

An hour later and Spirit was on the roof in black ballet flats, tan jeans, a fuzzy white turtleneck sweater, her new glasses, and a burgundy conductor's hat. She was still in Six's arms. While the bath made her legs feel better it still hurt quite a bit to walk. It was something that they'd have to work on…

Rex looked up and ran over to Spirit, "Hey mija. You're looking better."

Noah followed him, bouncing the ball as he went.

"This is my best friend, Noah. Noah this is Spirit," Rex said.

Noah frowned, "I thought you said that she was Six's girl."

"She is."

"I was expecting someone... Older."

"Nah. Spirit's his daughter of sorts."

Noah smirked, "She's cute. She's going to have all the men on their knees when she grows up."

Six frowned and held her a little tighter.

Spirit frowned and signed, "Does that mean I'm going to be this short forever?"

Six smirked in amusement at the little girl's innocence.

Rex laughed, "No. He means something else. I'll tell you when you're fifteen okay?"

Spirit frowned at that but reluctantly agreed. She was too sleepy to protest right now anyway. Rex took his shirt off after playing a while. Six raised an eyebrow when he saw the scar.

"Dude! Where did you get that from?" Noah asked.

"Huh? Oh. We had a mission against a real chimera. I got careless and was hit with poisonous acid. Six tried to help but ended up nearly losing his hands. Spirit can heal but she started to get really weak and sick healing me so I was left with this scar," Rex said.

"Bummer."

"Not really. It's like a reminder of how much mija loves me. She just woke up tonight."

"Geez… Providence better pay well that's all I have to say."

"What? Afraid of betting your funny looking face melted off?"

"That's it! You're so going down!"

Noah and Rex played for the next two hours. Spirit had long since gotten bored and fallen asleep on Six's lap. Six sat there and watched them play with an impassive look on his face.

He eventually picked up the little girl, "Rex!"

Rex stopped and looked over then checked his watch. It was late, "Dude it's midnight. Your parents are going to freak."

"Shit! Gotta go!" Noah said as he ran off the court.

Rex ran over to Six and the pair of them went inside. Rex went for a shower while Six put the little girl in her own bed only to wake up and find her next to him in the morning.
