A/N this is an idea that I've been toying with for a while. Note this is Bourne books, not the movies.

Van Kleiss is not evil in this fic. He and Rex will have more of a platonic relationship than I've seen done.

There is a possibility of a Six/Rex relationship. If I do this as a relationship it will not be until much later in the fic. They will have a lot of issues to work out.

Set after episode four.

Rex's POV

The night sky above him was littered with bright stars. They were a lot brighter than what he was used to seeing in the city or in Providence. The brightness blocked out most of them.

Rex laid sprawled out in the grass far outside of New York. He had ditched his usual clothes for a plain black shirt and black pants. In his backpack were the goggles that Six had given him.

Money was his main issue. He couldn't do any drastic changes to his appearance without it. Rex didn't like stealing but to avoid Six it might be necessary.

Part of him couldn't believe what led him to this point. White Knight had paid Noah to be his only friend. The sting of that betrayal caused him to lose what little faith in Providence that he had.

The worst wasnt even Noah. Six had lied to him and helped White Knight in handling Noah. That hurt worse than the betrayal itself.

Before Noah, Six and Holiday were the only people Rex felt he could trust. Six more so than Holiday. Six was the one who found Rex when he lost his memories. Saved him when White Knight tried to kill him. Yet he betrayed Rex.

It wasnt something he could forgive easily. So here he was waiting for Van Kleiss to show.

There wasnt any trust between him and the Abyss leader. He was out of options though. The man promised to get him a new life away from Providence. The only stipulation is that he was not to return to Providence.

With everything that happened, he had no problem agreeing. It would be a miracle if he ever spoke to any of them again much less worked with them.

Soft footsteps broke him out of his musings. By his count, there were three. One of which he recognized immediately as those of Van Kleiss. The other two were completely unfamiliar.

Sitting up in the grass he faced where the footsteps were coming from. Van Kleiss and two dark-haired men came into view. Kleiss's brown eyes met Rex's lighter brown.

He greeted slowly gaining his feet, "Van Kleiss. Is this them?"

The taller of the two unknown men stepped forward. He had cold grey eyes and dark black hair. His eyes were like when Rex first met Six.

The second man had brown hair and hazel eyes. There wasnt any warmth in them. Just cold and calculating.

The older Evo answered, "This is David Abbott and Alexander Conklin. They will set you up with a new identity and life as per our agreement."

Rex shook hands with both men and said, "Rex."

The men nodded carefully. He could tell they were considering him.

Van Kleiss asked carefully, "Are you sure about this, Rex? There's no going back if you go through with it."

"I won't go back to Providence. Not after what they did," he sighed.

The betrayal of trust wasnt the first issue. Calan had snapped at him when he was training with Six. It happened just two weeks before Rex found out the truth.

Flashback

Painfully he picked himself up off the ground. Six was training him in hand to hand combat without the use of his nanites.

They trained twice a week on it in order to improve Rex's abilities. It was slow progress but progress nonetheless.

Calan had come in halfway through their training. The blond watched with a smirk as Six threw Rex into the mats again and again.

It wasnt until Six was safely out of the room did Calan snarl, "At the rate you are going you will get one of us killed. Obviously, you are not putting enough into this."

Rex snarled, "I'm trying! Give me a break!"

Calan snarled back, "Trying isn't good enough Rex! Every time you go out there and screw off instead of doing your one of my men get hurt. At least one! They have friends and family that may never see them again because of you. Because you cannot do your job right. You will never make it as a soldier!"

With that Calan turned on his heel and left. Rex was stunned by the normally stoic man.

End of flashback

The CIA was going to give him a new life. In exchange, he would serve two years as an intelligence officer. As soon as he left here they would test him to find what part he best fit in.

Rex was not looking forward to being stuck doing tests for a few days. Or that he would likely not be seeing action for awhile.

It was all for a new life, however. If he played along he would get to search for who he was before. All he had to do was play along for a little while.

Abbott said holding out a file, "This is going to be your new identity. The family has agreed to sponsor you. Currently, you have nothing but a first name. They have agreed to give you a new name entirely. You can still walk away and go back."

Rex stepped forward and took the file. He replied his eyes cold, "I have nothing to go back to. All I can do now is keep moving forward."

Conklin said, "Well said boy. If you can prove true to your word then you will find life with us easy."

Six's POV

Three whole months had passed since Rex's disappearance. Finding out that Noah and Six had been lying to him broke something in the teenager. It only took him ten minutes to pack a handful of clothes and disappear.

Since that night White Knight had been practically frothing at the mouth. All he saw Rex as was a weapon to be used. Nothing more or less.

Six didn't let his emotions show on his face but he felt the loss of his partner. Rex had begun to work harder than before in training. Instead of practicing half-heartedly Rex put everything he had into their training.

If he was honest with himself Six would admit he had been a little suspicious of it at first. Rex didn't try hard in training. Not for as long as Six had known him.

By the third training, Six had begun to enjoy the change. Rex was learning slowly but surely. His change of heart had been true as far as the man could tell.

Then Rex started losing control over his powers. The training was beginning to show. Not in the control over emotions but in the ability to fight and hold his own.

Six let Rex walk out of Providence to cool off. He assumed that in a few days Rex would return. Or at least send for the monkey who they could track.

After the first month of no contact with anyone monkey or Noah, he began to worry. The second month had White Knight ready to strangle Rex. Now at three months they had all but given up hope that he would return of his own free will.

Reports of Evo's were on the rise and without Rex, they had no way to cure them. Many were being killed simply because Providence didn't have the room for them. Extra bases were being built but there was only so much they could do.

Only now that he was gone did they realize how much they relied on Rex. Six for his part half expected to turn a corner to see standing there with a goofy smile on his face. He never was there though. Providence had become a lonely place. A place that was just like before Rex had stumbled in on their lives.

Even Bobo was worried about the kid. The monkey continually went to their usual spots to hide. There was no sign of him.

Holiday was taking it the worst out of the agents. She blamed herself for being unable to track him. That she like Six had let the boy leave. They could have tried to stop them but they didn't.

Noah had become colder in the last month. He started taking extra classes in order to graduate early. He told Six that he wanted to join Providence early. Join so that he could make a difference and help search for Rex.

Where are you, kid?
