A/N- Hey, i'm new here and most of my fan fictions are posted over at ff.net but my friend wanted me to come post here so umm here I am. ldhi:
Summary: Sydney had become Julia Thorne, five years later she returns to the family she had long thought dead. (AU)
Background: Sydney wasn't taken after her fight with Francie, she and Vaughn got engaged in Santa Barbara that weekend and married soon after. She found Nadia in a similar way to Season three and Nadia and Weiss hit it off immediately. The rest of the basic plotline will be explained in the first chapter, so read and enjoy.
Disclaimer: Alias is not mine. If it was that whole two years thing probably wouldn’t have happened. (I say probably because I have no clue what I would do)

“Base camp this is Boy Scout, the target is in sight. Do we move in?”
“No hold it, we’ve been trying to identify their assassin for almost three years. We have to see if she shows up for this meet.”
“Yes sir.” Vaughn looked over to Weiss and they locked eyes for a moment before Vaughn brought binoculars back up to his eyes and looked into the parking lot across the street. Sure enough with in moments a black car pulled up and a blond woman got out. “I think we have the assassin in sight.”
“Get the picture, then move in on your call Boy Scout.”
“Yes sir.”
“Dude…” Weiss muttered looking through the telescope and clicking the button repeatedly as he took pictures.
“What is it?” Vaughn asked putting the binoculars up to his eyes and looking down to the small group in the parking lot. His throat constricted at what he saw. Other than the blond hair, the woman looked identical to his late wife. Seeing the woman hand a briefcase over to a tall man Vaughn lowered the binoculars, “Everyone move in.” He ordered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sydney stepped out of the car surveying the area before approaching the man in front of her.
“The job went well?” The tall man questioned.
“Do you have the money Kunis?”
“Show me the pictures.”
Sydney handed the man a folder and the man looked inside nodding approvingly.
“Is that the information?” He asked motioning to the case.
“The money first.” Sydney said holding out her hand. The man gave her an envelope and she checked inside briefly before handing the man the case.
“It was good working with you Julia.”
“You know how to contact me if you have another job.” She said as she put the envelope into her jacket. Just as she turned to walk back to her car the first shot was fired by one of Kunis’s bodyguards at an approaching CIA officer and immediately hell broke loose. Sydney quickly pulled out her gun and headed for her car but her driver had been hit by a tranquillizer.
“Damn it.” She muttered looking around her. “DAMN IT” She repeated seeing Weiss running down a fire escape followed by… no… no, he’s dead, it can’t be him. Sydney watched as Kunis was brought to the ground and then back at Weiss who was now running across the street toward her. “FREEZE” He yelled holding his gun out and Sydney quickly took cover behind her car pulling the driver out as she fired a few warning shots back, not wanting to hit Eric but keep him away. With in moments of the driver hitting the pavement Sydney was in the car and took off down the street. A few CIA cars followed but Sydney got away and with in the hour was up in her hotel room splashing water on her face. Normally this would be the time she would call Kendall and tell him everything she learned but she could bring her self the call him now. She wasn’t sure if she ever could. If the man she had seen was indeed Vaughn, then Kendall lied when she asked if what the covenant told her was true.
“Julia.” Someone called in, knocking on the door.
“One moment.” She called from the bathroom and quickly dried her face.
Sydney opened the door and Jared, her covenant contact walked inside.
“Wonderful job Julia, I just heard about the Kunis job. It went well for you at least.”
“Except the being spotted by the CIA part.”
“What makes you think it was CIA?”
“Just a guess. They all had American accents.” And one was my husband, who you told me was dead. She thought sitting down on the couch.
“Well you have another job Julia.”
“Where?”
“L.A”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vaughn leaned back in his seat as Weiss dialed his cell phone to call Nadia.
“Hey.” He said as she picked up. “Yeah, we’re on the plane… in about 6 hours… Yeah that sounds great…nothing too out of the ordinary, we got the man we were there for and got pictures of that assassin we’ve been trying to get… No we didn’t get her, the b**** did leave her driver for dead though… I know, what else would I expect from an assassin… She looked just like Sydney.” Weiss said this looking over to see if Vaughn would react. As expected Vaughn didn’t do anything, he hadn’t said anything about the woman since they saw her. “No check out the pictures when you get into work, the resemblance is freaky… Yeah, Vaughn is fine… She’s with you right now?... Yeah I’ll give the phone to him, put her on the phone.” Weiss handed Vaughn the phone “It’s Anna.”
“Hello...I miss you too… I’ll come right home once I get back… I can’t wait to hear about it… I love you.” After talking to Nadia for a moment Vaughn hung up and turned to Weiss.
“So you really ready to get married?”
“I’ve been ready since I met her, what I didn’t know was she was too.”
Vaughn smiled, “Sydney would have been so happy to see you two together.”
“That woman…”
“Let’s not talk about it.” Vaughn said quickly, turning to look out the window.
“Well, at least you’re not imagining women who look like Sydney anymore. I mean, you use to see her everywhere.” Weiss said putting his hand on Vaughn’s shoulder for a second.
Weiss was right; after Sydney died Vaughn could still hear her voice, see her in the line when he was at the supermarket. Once he went back to work and started missions he would see her in clubs sitting at the bar, or hear her voice in his comm. After a while though these visions had become less and less and though everyone thought this was good for him, it meant he was moving on, he missed it. He missed hearing her voice watching her sit at a bar drinking a martini. He missed everything about her, and it still stung as if she had been kidnapped and killed just yesterday.
Six and a half hours later Vaughn and Weiss walked up the steps to Weiss and Nadia’s house. Nadia opened the door immediately and Weiss dumped his bag by he door. “Remember to clean that up; I’m not doing it for you.” She warned, though still smiling that her fiancé was home safe.
“You sure you two aren’t already married?” Vaughn asked raising an eyebrow.
Nadia laughed before walking to the stairs and calling up, “Anna! They’re back.”
Vaughn positioned himself at the bottom of the steps and Anna came racing down jumping into his outstretched arms. “DADDY!”
“Hey sweet heart” He said with a laugh and a kiss on her head before putting her down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Mr., Mrs. Vaughn, I’m happy to say you’re pregnant.”
Sydney turned to Vaughn who was sitting next to her and kissed him.
“Congratulations.” The doctor said standing up and walking out of the office with the happy couple.
“Thank you doctor.” Sydney said once again.
“Go set your next appointment at the front desk and have a nice day.
After setting their next appointment Sydney and Vaughn walked slowly out to their car, as if in their own little world.
“I think we should name the baby Barbara.” Vaughn said looping his arm around Sydney’s waist.
“What makes you think it’s a girl?”
“I don’t know.”
Sydney smiled, “I don’t like Barbara.”
“But Syd, I asked you to marry me in Santa Barbara, we got married in Santa Barbara and I’m guessing this baby has a little connection to our trip last month to Santa Barbara.” Vaughn said smirking causing Sydney to smile.
“I still don’t like the name, sorry.” Sydney wrapping her arm around Vaughn’s waist.
“Okay, then… Anne.”
“Anne, as in my middle name?”
“Yes, after you.”
“Why not Michelle? Or Michael if it’s a boy.”
“Fine, not after us then.” Vaughn said with a laugh. “How about… Erica? After Weiss.”
“You know this poor child if it’s a boy. You’re so set on a girl.”
“If it’s a boy the names a given. William.”
“After your dad?”
“And it’s uncle Will.”
“He’s going to be so excited when he hears about the baby.”
Vaughn smiled, “Everyone will be. They got excited just to find out we were trying to have one.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“No hug for uncle Weiss?” Weiss asked kneeling so Anna could wrap her arms around him and squeeze as hard as she could. “I missed you too.”
“Her grandfather called, he wanted to take her to the park since he has the afternoon off. You want to take her down to meet him?” Nadia asked taking a sip of a glass of tea.
“Sure.” Vaughn looked down at his daughter “You want to see grandpa at the park?”
“YEAH!” She said a wide smile spreading across her face.
“Okay, go grab your sandals and we’ll go.” Anna immediately raced upstairs to grab her shoes and Vaughn sighed, “I’ll see you guys later.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sydney sat down at the bench in the park she had run through so many times in the past. Sydney watched as people ran past her and she inhaled sharply when she noticed a man waiting by the swing set across the field. He turned around and she knew who it was. If she didn’t know the covenant was watching her to make sure the familiar park didn’t spark her memory, Sydney would have jumped up at that moment and run over to her father. But if she did that now she would be shot.
And now Sydney knew she had seen correctly back in Spain. Vaughn approached Jack with a little girl racing behind him the light brown ringlets of her hair bouncing as she ran. Sydney could feel herself begin to get woozy but she had to act like what she was watching didn’t affect her. Vaughn talked with her father for a moment before leaving the girl with Jack and walking out of sight. Sydney scanned her surroundings and almost immediately picked out three covenant agents watching her.
"Anna" Sydney almost jumped hear her father call sternly after the little girl.
"Get back here"
Sydney watched as the girl slowly made her way back to her Jack, emphasizing each step and letting out a, "grandpa..."
Many men had tried to get information out of Jack Bristow using every kind of torture imaginable, but Sydney’s daughter broke Jack Bristow with a simple "grandpa"
Sydney watched from her spot on the bench as her father smiled scooping Anna back into his arms. "How about we go get ice cream?" He asked wanting to make up for talking sternly to her.
"Okay!" She said a smile spreading across her angelic face.
Sydney’s attention was called away as a man sat next to her and said the phrase agreed upon "Do they still sell the Star?"
"The Star went out of business two years ago."
"What paper do you propose I buy?"
"The Current." Sydney said the name of the made up paper.
"Julia Thorne?" The man asked looking away now.
"Yes" Sydney replied as she looked back to the spot where her daughter and father had been. Realizing they had left Sydney turned back to the man beside her, he had slipped a picture of a man, and the mans information to Sydney on the bench. Sydney picked the papers up. "What are you paying?" She asked.
"It’s on the paper" Sydney scanned the paper and found the amount, which most would be pleased to work for.
"I don't think I’ve ever worked for so little." She said placing the picture back down and the man sighed before adding another zero on the end of the number. “That’s more like it. You only want him dead correct?”
“Yes.”
“Accidental death or do you not care?”
“Something that will seem accidental to the police, but send a message out to my enemies. Can you do it?”
“Of course I can. You’ve heard about me.” Sydney said c***ily. “I’ll contact you when the job’s done.”
“Thank you.” The man stood up and with in moments had disappeared. Sydney stuck the picture and information in her jacket before standing up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vaughn started to walk away after waving one last time to Anna before something caught his eye. That hair, then it was the same jacket. The assassin was sitting there talking to some man. Vaughn looked around seeing two men who were watching him and her closely, he would need back up for this. Vaughn called Jack on his cell phone and told him to take Anna out for ice cream because there was a problem. Vaughn then proceeded to get back up from the agents stationed in the park. Before running back to where the woman was. The man she was meeting with was gone and Vaughn was able to watch her for a moment before turning off the safety on his gun and yelling freeze.
The men who had been watching her immediately stood up and the three officers Vaughn had with him went to cover them. The woman stood up and took off into the woods, Vaughn hot on her trail. He kept yelling at her to freeze but she would shoot. What struck Vaughn as odd was she didn’t hit him, he knew there were plenty of times she had a perfect shot but she would shoot just short of him, as if trying to scare him away with out hurting him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sydney fired another shot, the adrenaline had taken over. She ran quickly but Vaughn remained on her tail. She couldn’t stop; if she stopped they could get her daughter. If they saw that she had betrayed them they wouldn’t hesitate the go kill Jack and Anna who probably hadn’t gotten out of the park area yet. Suddenly she landed face first in the leaves having tripped over a root and Vaughn was standing right behind her.
“Drop the gun, hands on your head.” He ordered, obviously short of breath but not wanting her to know that.
He watched her for a moment before picking up her gun and stepping back now both guns trained on her trained on her. “Stand up!” He ordered and Sydney slowly obliged still facing the other way, she didn’t know why but something kept her form turning around, even though all she could think of was jumping into his arms and kissing him.
“Turn around.” The dreaded order came and Sydney slowly started to turn.

A/N- Hope everyone liked that. I’m worried this is confusing so any feedback is appreciated (but please constructive criticism, not just that’s really bad) If you’re confused feel free to leave questions in your review or e-mail them to me. But there are things you aren’t suppose to know yet. Don’t worry most of your questions will be answered next chapter, which I plan to have a few flashbacks in it. (not sure how many yet).
