"We need you find these people, "Gordon stated, handing Imre several photos.

She sorted through them slowly, memorizing faces. A stern, handsome black man in dress uniform. A young woman with short cropped auburn hair and aviator's glasses grinning from a hello cockpit. A clinical mug shot of twins, one male, one female. There was another picture that had obviously been aged electronically-an old man with long hair and a high forehead. The last two must have been lifted directly from a high school yearbook; one, a light haired boy with a nervous grin, the other a dark, teen with eyes strangely similar to her own... unusual she thought.

She looked up from the photos questioningly. "So," she asked. "Is it a hit?"

----

Sonia was hesitant. She sat on the couch, her light hands folded upon her lap. Doc was being persistent with his questioning, but keeping everything in a low key. Stark stood with Romar at the side of the room.

It had been some time since Phil had last meet Sonia. He remembers the exact moment when she rode up with Jim upon the Tyrusian bike. Even then he was unsure about letting her become 'apart' of the team. Still, she managed to save their lives and lead the Earth-bound Tyrusians away from the Shuttle Launch. And yet...there was something else that bothered Stark.

"Sonia, are you or are you not?" Doc was seemingly getting irritated. Sonia had prodded the question long enough.

"Technically I am, but I am no longer apart of the group. I have disbanded, so to speak."

Doc rubbed his forehead for a moment. This girl may get us all killed, he thought to himself. "Sonia," She turned her head up to Stark. Never looking into his eyes.

"You do know that some of us are still having some troubles trusting you?"

Sonia sighed for a moment and nodded her head. "That's a given."

"But, we are all still grateful for what you have done to help us out at Kennedy. I hate to speak for the group but...we do believe you and we will help you out, in what ever ways necessary." Stark took in a deep breath. The young girls eyes lit up and directed their gaze
towards him. She was about as shock as she was by his words.

If Angie thinks that we can trust her, than I will agree. For now through it would be best if we kept an eye out for her just in case something should happen to pop up. If Angie were correct, then I would agree with her. But, I don't. Not yet.

Angie grinned at Stark with relief to see him suddenly accept Sonia. "Well, we did say that we needed more in our group. Should we tell to Iris?"

"Yeah. We should tell her if there's someone else in the group, right? She is in it with us." Doc rose from his seat.

David jumped up. "I can go."

Doc looked over at him with a question on his lips, but he simply said, "Okay. Just take someone with ya."

"Great, Come on Jim." David grabbed Jim's arm and pulled him down to where the car was.

"Uh..." Jim started, "Do you have a license?"

"Jim," David sighed, "what little faith you have in me."

"I'll take that as a no."

“We’re here.” David parked the car in front of the hospital.

He glanced over at Jim, who was gripping the sides of the seat, his eyes shut tight, and tears practically coming down his face.

David sighed and left the car, coming around to the passenger’s side door. He opened it and Jim fell out, flat on his face.

“You could have driven slower.” Jim’s muffled voice came.

David grinned at his friend as he helped him up from off the ground. “Now what would have been the fun in that?”

They entered the building and went up to the front desk where Ilene sat. She looked up at him, “Welcome back David. What did ya brake now?” She asked with a smile.

“You’re funny.” David tilted his head towards her. “We have to talk to Iris. Very important.”

“Hold on.” Ilene shoved her paper work into a cabinet. “I’ll buzz ya into her office--”

“No problem. I know where it is.” David cut her off as he and Jim made their way down the corridor.

Coming to Iris’ door, he knocked rather loudly then opened the door. Iris looked up at him from the files on her desk. “Oh no, what did you brake this time?”

“Ha ha ha.” David walked up to her desk. “Actually, I thought I’d drop by to give ya an update on TFAO and a new member to the group.”

“Really?” Iris looked up with renewed interest.

“Sonia Lear.”

Iris looked at him with a shocked face and stood up in her seat, “Isn’t she the daughter of Doctor Lear?”

David shrugged, “I guess. Why? You know her?”

“I was a college of Sonia’s father once back in medical school. He was a good friend of mine.”

“He was a Tyrusian?” Jim asked.

“No. This was Sonia and Simon’s human father.” Iris corrected him.

“Human father?” David questioned.

“Yes. You see seventeen years ago, not too long after you were born David, Sonia and Simon came into this world. Doctor Lear and her husband were both in the medical field. Not only that, but Sonia’s mother was doing experiments to create alien hybrids to act as terrorists.”

“What’s this have to do with--”

“Doctor Lear couldn’t get pregnant with her own children, so she and her husband agreed to injected Tyrusian DNA into her womb. When Sonia and Simon were born, their human father grew especially attached to Sonia. Though she wasn’t truly his, he did love her as his own. To tell ya the truth, I think he loved her more than her mother ever did. Simon was the one that was experimented on by Konrad and his people. Sonia’s father won’t let them touch her, only to experiment with how much she could do with her powers...”

“No wonder why Simon’s so angry.” Jim sat down in a chair on the opposite side of Iris’ desk.

“Not to mention mentally screwed up.” David leaned against the wall.

“And that is why he also has this jealousy towards Sonia because she was their human father’s favorite.” Iris picked up the files on her desk and put them into the filing cabinet on the far wall. “I never knew you knew her, David.”

“Well, I never got the chance to talk to ya lately with all the running and hiding I had to do.” David chuckle a bit as he played with the sunglasses on his head. “Where is her father now?”

“That I don’t know.” Iris answered with a touch of grief. “He disappeared when Sonia and Simon were little children. Only their mother knew what happened to him.”

“She’s dead.”

Iris sat down. “I thought as much. Then the secret died with her.”

“Unless Gordon knows.” David suggested.

“Or Simon.” Iris looked up at him.
