PhantomGirl12: Thank you! Thanks for replying so frequently!

General Zargon: You will like this chapter. A lot. In fact, you will love this chapter so much that you will give me your pancake launcher, swearing to never fire one at me again. LOL, loved your comments throughout this whole story! Thank you!

NararaHatake: :)

Crystal Peak: At first I thought about a fight scene, but I thought it would be a tad more dramatic if Rex was actually injured. And, yeah, it would be really unbelievable if Rex were battling White Knight while a bullet was lodged in to his shoulder. Your right when you guess why Rex didn't kill Van Kleiss. Rex is the hero of a story, and as another commenter pointed out (SkyfallenDreams) a hero is noble, and a noble hero doesn't go around killing people. Breach was mainly weird because I don't think she would forgive Rex for breaking her perfect world. And, I took your advice and had Rex ask Caesar about his past. I kind of like how it turned out. Van Kleiss is always going to be trying something, but not any more In this story. I may write another one after "Miztakez". Thank you for always being supportive during this story.

KaliAnn: Loved your comment (as always) and I agree that a stronger person refuses to kill. J Thank you for replying so often!

SkyfallenDreams: Aww! Thank you! Your comment made me smile! Thank you again, just because of all the compliments! I also wanted to thank you for replying, even though you once were a silent reviewer! It was very nice and super thoughtful of you! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and with that, here it is! The very last chapter in "Hijacked"!

Chapter 20: Beginnings and Ends

Rex woke up to the sweet smell of chemicals and disinfectants. His body was stiff and he grunted as he shifted his position. Feeling started to wake up inside him and he adjusted the soft white sheets. He was alone in a sterile white room, lying on a white hospital bed. Even though he was exhausted, Rex hadn't felt this comfortable, or relaxed, in about a week. He tilted his head forward examining his body. He saw his arm was wound in firm gauze and a bandage was wrapped tightly around his shoulder. Rex remembered he had been shot, and he grimaced at the thought. His memory flashed suddenly, and guilt floated into his chest, heavy as a stone, as images of Providence soldiers filled his head. Hoping to take his mind off of a grunt that had been wedged in between his giant mechanical hands, he glanced around the room, letting his eyes drift from object to object. An IV drip was nuzzled under the gauze around his arm, and Rex noticed a wonderfully cool liquid was steadily flowing into his arm. He saw a monitor with different stats on the screen, measuring his heart, blood pressure, and brain activity. It beeped occasionally, and Rex stared at the waving line scrolling across the black screen for a few minutes. Then his eyes swept over to a tall gray machine with blue and green lights that faded on and off slowly. He noted that a red light had burst on, and was probably signaling he was awake to some computer.

Within minutes, Caesar and Holiday poured into the room, followed by a stoic Six and Bobo, who was rubbing his eyes and complaining about his lack of sleep-but was following the adults all the same. All of them filed by Rex's bed, standing over him.

"Hey, guys," Rex said, surprised at how raspy his voice was.

"Hola, mijo." Caesar said a warm look of concern tracing his face and lighting his eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Holiday asked, kneeling over him slightly, clip board in hand.

"I'm fine-good." Rex said, clearing his throat.

"Good. Your arm may hurt later, and your shoulder as well. We removed the wireless transmitter that was in your arm, and the bullet from your shoulder. The bullet tore through some muscles, but they will heal." Holiday informed him Rex, eyeing him with her striking green eyes.

Rex felt a weight he hadn't known was there lift off of him, and he felt ten pounds lighter. The transmitter was gone and he was free. Rex relaxed visibly, sinking further into his bed, smiling.

Bobo broke the calm silence a few minutes later, as soon as Rex's stomach growled.

Bobo put on a sly smile, one that was recognized and noticed by all.

"Hey, chief." He said, "I seem to remember about a week ago when you were battling an EVO, Six promising a pizza." The chimp finished glancing at the agent and at Rex.

Rex nodded, and a huge smile broke across his face, a mischievous look.

"I think your right, Mr. Haha," Rex replied.

Six raised his eye brows.

"I seem to recall Rex sneaking out while he was under strict orders not to leave while someone hacked his body." Six said, clearly indicating that one cancelled out the other.

"C'mon Six!" Rex pleaeded "Please."

Six raised his eye brow even higher, but they fell, and he exited the room. Bobo followed close behind , raising his thumbs as he smiled wide.

Holiday gave Rex a knowing smile, and said "I'll be back with some pain killer."

Holiday grabbed her clip board and clicked her pen to start to jotting down notes as she walked out of the room. Caesar was about to follow Holiday when Rex grabbed his wrist.

"Wait," Rex said, pulling a little on his brother.

Caesar stopped and faced Rex, who had assumed a more serious expression.

"What is it, mijo? Are you okay?" Caesar asked, his edxpression a mix of happieness, concern, and confusion.

"I'm fine, really. I just had a few questions." Rex said, and Caesar sat down on Rex's bed.

"What questions, mijo?" Caesar asked.

"When I was with Van Kleiss, he told me my past, and our past, and about the Event."

"What did he tell about them?" Caesar asked as his expression hardened.

Rex told Caesar everything he had heard from Van Kleiss, starting from his parents, his accident, the splinter cell, and the Event.

When Rex had finished Caesar was still sitting on the bed, his head resting on his interlaced hands.

"Well?" Rex asked looking up at Caesar from where he lay.

"It's true-all of it. He described our parents very well, and your accident," Caesar sighed, "We really used to be very good friends with Van Kleiss." And he shook his head sadly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Rex asked, "It's not like you did anything. Why did I have to get captured by Van Kleiss to learn anything?" he asked, a slight anger showing, but it was stifled.

"I don't know. I just never wanted you to associate me with the Event, I was afraid you wouldn't understand. And when I had found you, you couldn't even remember me. So, the only thing you had have to go on was that I was there at the Event. I know I was wrong. I should have told you. I am sorry, mijo." Caesar said, glaning at Rex with an apologetic look in his eyes.

Rex chewed over it and said after a while, "It's okay. I forgive you, and understand. You reallyshould have told me though."

Caesar nodded, and suddenly, Rex's nose picked up an aroma that was so good and over powered the smell of medicine.

Six had walked into the room carrying three boxes of pizza, and Bobo grinning wildly behind him as he carried two.

Holiday came in with a pill, and made Rex gulp it down before he grabbed a thick slice of a supreme pizza, shoving it down into his mouth.

Rex smiled again, and with his mouth full, grumbled, "It's good to be back"

Rex happily tore into another piece, and started shoving it into his mouth.

(A Week Later)

"Oof!" Rex gasped as a basket ball slammed into his chest.

Rex was finally out of bed. He still had a thick bandage on under his jacket. Holiday had forbid him from fighting EVOs, but she had said that maybe in a week he could visit Noah. Rex had decided, however, that he didn't need another week to at least visit Noah and shoot a few hoops.

"Haha," Noah laughed, running up to the teenage EVO, "Serves you right for sneaking out. Your agro nanny would be proud of me." He finished, still chuckling.

"Very funny, Noah. You know, I get to sneak out, and I choose to spend time with you. The least you could do is side with me."
Noah slapped Rex on the back, causing Rex to drop his ball, and finished laughing saying, "You know I'm kidding dude."

Rex nodded, but seemed to cringe where Noah had slapped him.

"What's wrong, Rex?" Noah asked, suddenly worried.

"Nothing-you just hit where White shot me." Rex said, casually. He secretly loved Noah's expression of shock, and mentally patted himself on the back for saying it so calmly.

"Dude, what happened?" Noah asked, grabbing the ball and sitting down on the metal bench to the side of the court.

Both teenagers sat down and Rex launched into his previous week, starting with the hacker. He told about the piercing noise that had buzzed in his head, and when he had been a monster, and Van Kleiss catching him, and putting him in a cell. He told Noah about his past (which, he said, Caesar had confirmed), and the device Van Kleiss had implanted in Rex, and attacking Providence, and being shot by White, and finally waking up in the hospital room.

He also told Noah a bit about this week, but it was pretty un exiting, because he had mostly been in bed.

When Rex had finished, Noah, still sitting, bounced the basket ball on the pavement.

"Whoa." He said smiling and shaking his head, "Sounds like an exciting week."

"Yep," Rex agreed, "Pretty busy"

Noah nodded, "So, you worried about Van Kleiss?" he asked.

"Nah, Van Kleiss will show up again, but this proved that even when he has control of me, Providence can kick his sorry butt."

Noah nodded, and stood up, shooting for the basket. The ball swooshed through the net.

"Goal!" Noah shouted, raising his hand for a high five.

"That's soccer, Noah." Rex grumbled.

"Well, it sounded cooler than yelling "Basket!"" Noah reasoned, handing Rex the recently retrieved ball.

"Fine," Rex said light heartedly and he made a shot for the basket.

Predictably, the ball missed, and bounced off the concrete…and into Six's hands.

"Well, Noah," Rex said, stretching, "I gotta go. Good talking to you, and catch you next week!" he said, walking to a frowning Six.

Six threw the ball to Rex, and said, "Five minutes."

Rex smiled, and launched the ball at the basket ball gaol.

For the first time ever, the ball went in, swishing the net around.

THE END.

A/N: I am aware that "The End" is a little corny, but I liked it. Well, what did you guys think? I just wanted to tell everyone that this was a lot of fun to write, and thank you guys for all the wonderful comments. I mean, I just checked last night and I had 96 comments on my FIRST fan fic! How great is that? So, thank you, you guys, for encouraging me to keep going. I loved all the reviews, and helpful criticism. For the last time (on this story, anyway):
