Nick (Pov)
My brain blanked when I saw my mom repel down the ropes. What the hell is she doing here, why is she with the CIA, why, why is she alive?!
"ick...Nick...Nick!" I looked down at Judy who was calling me. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out, I just kept staring at my mom. Nothing makes sense right now.
"Nicky, it's good to see you again," giving me her motherly smile that could soothe anyone.
"I...me...Olivia and I buried you I saw your corpse, how are you here!?" Barking at her with a distressed angry howl.
'sigh'
"Nicky, it's hard to explain. Why don't you and I go sit over there and talk." Not even waiting for me to respond she walked towards a longe area. Hesitating not sure what to do I just froze on the spot, this was too much information to handle. Feeling a faint squeeze I looked down at Judy.
"Go talk to your mother, I'm sure you are angry, confused, and happy all at the same time, but right now just go and listen to what she has to say," she said giving me a light push towards my mom.
Alice (Pov)
Well, this just keeps getting better and better. Although with Nick's mom being in the CIA I might be able to mend some of the wounds that have happened in the past 24 hours. I bet that is exactly what Jax is thinking as well. Glancing at his face I could see the same thoughts racing through his head confirming my suspicions.
"Jax, be very careful with your next words. It's obvious Nick and his mom haven't seen each other in a long time and I will not have you use the relationship between a mother and her pup against me. Understand?"
"I admit I did bring her here for a better negotiation but I would never do anything to hurt her, she's my wife." He said with a loving tone as he glanced in the direction of Vivian. Well, that's a surprise not totally unbelievable though and it didn't really matter at this point.
"Congratulation. Now let's get to why I brought you here. I'm sure after you left the agency you tried to contact other agencies around the world and found out you couldn't, you could only radio the team that was at the safehouse 50 miles north of us. You even asked agent Savage to call the other agencies but he was unable to get any calls through as well. Isn't that right?" Staring at his face as it got paler and paler at every sentence.
"Yes that is correct, I assume that was you're doing?" Seeing me smirk he carried on.
"Ok, well I'm here in the requested time now let my agent go and then we can talk. That was the deal."
"Yes that was the deal previously but Skye and I have made our own deal. She will come with me of her own volition and I will give you your data back. Then you and I can talk about your pitiful attempt at trying to get me to come to your agency."
"WHAT?! Skye, are you truly doing this of free will?"
"Yes Director, Alice, and I have some stuff we want to work on and I do want to go with her. Plus this will hopefully get us on better terms than what I had done previously at ZNN."
"Ok then, Alice what do you want to talk about?" Still giving a questioning gaze towards the canine next to me.
"Well, first of all, I want to ask why the fuck you sent Skye in the first place? I told thousands of mammals I was afraid to come out into the open, and then you prove my 'fear' with the attack at ZNN. Secondly, I would like to know more about the Phoenix project."
His face paled considerably at my last question.
"Yes that was my error to send in Skye, she is more of a militaristic animal than a liaison, no offense Skye."
"None taken."
"The answer to your second question is much more difficult to explain. It definitely involves you but we shouldn't be talking about it in the open."
"Fine, then onto my next question. If you truly do want a peaceful relationship with me than I have some requests. Obviously, I need citizenship and... wait a second I can just do this myself." Rasing my paw back up to the portable laptop I started entering code.
"Wait what are you doing?" Jax asked again but more with a tone of actual curiosity and not fear.
"I'm inserting my name and credential into your system and giving myself a backstory as one of your high priority MIA agents. That way you and I will have a better way of integrating me into the world. Only the 7 of us will know the truth. Don't worry everyone here will get the full story of myself when we get back home. However, I felt this was easier for everyone if you just say I was an agent that went missing. I know your government will be asking questions as to what I am and how I was apart of the CIA so I have put myself under the..." I glanced at the other mammals here. They shouldn't know that the CIA was, in fact, working on genetic manipulation and trying to 'make' the perfect agent. The operation is codenamed Cerberus or CB1. In actuality, that was just a front for the Phoenix project which I hadn't had time to read through yet.
"I put myself under the CB1 project." Causing Jax to gasp with surprise.
"Are you sure you want to do that? That will only cause us to keep a closer eye on you." He was right but it's the only thing I can think of, the government will be watching me closely, but probably as close as they would have been even without the 'information'.
"Yes, I'm sure. It will also make those bureaucratic asshats feel safer if they think that I'm one of their own."
"Well ok. This will make things easier and I'm guessing with your skills there are no holes in the paper trail or backstory. So all we would have to do is get your official citizenship here in Zootopia. However, with the background you have given yourself we would want a detail to watch you... So I'll just have Skye keep an eye on you. I'll also set you up with a house and some cash to keep you going until you get a job. Does that work for you?"
"Yes, that sounds good. Now that we have my fake life out of the way I'm sure all of you want to hear the real story. If you would follow me in your Falcon we could get there in about 10 minutes. That good with you?"
"That work's for me." He then reached into his pocket and grabbed a radio to contact the Falcon which arrived within seconds. Everyone boarded while I walked over the Nick and his mom.
"Hello you must be Vivian, we are about to relocate to a more discrete location. Do you want to follow us or would you like to stay here?"
"Thanks for asking Alice, but I think we will stay here. Mom and I need to talk we also need to call Olivia."
"Ok, we will talk later tonight then." With that, I launched myself into the air and headed for Mr. Big's place with a chopper following behind.
