This is my first fic!! Hope ya like it.




Sydney watched Cat from across the rotunda at the CIA. She had never talked to her even though she’d been back for more than a year. Cat just seemed like the kind of person that didn’t want to be bothered with human contact.

‘Something must have happened to her’, Sydney thought

I’m not your average girl,
I’m gonna show the world,
Just what it means to be,
The living, breathing me,
The wacky, crazy girl,
You don’t always seem to see,
Get ready or not cause here I come.

For some reason, Sydney found her self making her way over to the secluded person. No, ‘stop. Don’t do it’ had passed her mind before or while she walked hurriedly over. That was the only thing that surprised even her.

Throw your hands up in the air,
Get down and dance your heart out,
I’m the person you don’t get,
I’m the girl that doesn’t show,
The kind of stuff that is inside,
So get ready or not,
Cause here I come.

“Hey Cat”, Sydney greeted

“Hello”, Cat murmured back

“I’ve never personally introduced myself to you so….

“I know who you are. Believe me.” Cat interrupted

“Oh, well…. Maybe we could just….

“Sydney, I’m going to say this once and only once.” Cat announced, “Please do not bother me again. I do not like you. Now if you’d get out of my way so I can go the restroom that’d be appreciated.”

Sydney slowly moved out of her way to let Cat through.

“Thanks”, she whispered without smiling

I’m gonna save the world,
I’m gonna change the world.

Vaughn had seen what had gone on. He knew Cat well. She’d been working with the CIA since Sydney had disappeared. Four months after the love of his life had died he’d wanted to quit*. Cat had talked him out of it after hearing about Sydney and told him that Sydney would want him to stay with the job he loved.

*Vaughn never went to Europe.

Cat smiled happily at Vaughn. He had just told her that he wasn’t going to quit.

“This is so great”, she cheered

“I know”, he said

They stared longingly at each other for a few seconds and got closer. Their lips suddenly touched and an array of emotions spilled out.

Neither knew that Lauren was watching them from across the room. The NSC had found it necessary to send one of their own into the L.A. CIA after Sydney had died.

Vaughn and Lauren had gotten married a month before but she knew well that he didn’t love her.

She pulled out her cell phone and quickly dialed a number.

“Get that b**** out of here”, she ordered angrily

“Fine. But don’t think I’ll let you order me around like that again”, Sark stated

Chapter 2

I used to get away so much
now I can't get away
I even thought that it was simple
to say the things I wanted to say


Sydney was still in shock from the incident with Cat. She didn’t even know the girl but still Cat had made it very clear that she didn’t like her.

‘What the hell did I do to her?’ Sydney thought

She racked her brain for answers. Nothing came up. Cat was quite peculiar. She never spoke during briefings and went Dixon told her she was to go on a mission she just nodded. The first idea that popped into Sydney’s mind was that Cat was working for the Covenant. It was only a thought but still it nagged at Sydney for a while until she found that Vaughn was standing right next to her.

“I heard what happened with you and your father”

“Yeah”, she said quietly

|Flashback|

“Sydney, stop”, Jack ordered

“No. What the hell did you think you were doing?” Sydney hissed

“I was protecting you”, he answered firmly

Tears had started to form in her eyes. “How? By f***ing controlling my life?”

“You don’t un-“

“No, I do. All you ever cared about was yourself. It’s never for me, it’s always for you”

Sydney got up and ran out the room with the documents. Jack didn’t even try to stop her this time…..

That event had been over a month ago but still Sydney sat around at night trying to figure out what exactly had gone on. Jack had gone away after that and no one had seen him since. That was what scared Sydney the most.

and you told me
everything I wanted to hear
and you sold me
now I don't know how I should feel
I should know me
and baby you would think I’d know better


“Do you still have the documents?” Vaughn asked making sure to whisper at the end

“Yes. But the last four pages are in code. I’m guessing that they’re the most important parts”

“Have you tried de-coding it?”

Sydney made a face. “Of course I have”

‘That was a stupid question to ask’, she thought

I’m finding my way back to you
and everything I used to be
and waiting is all that I can do
until you find your way back to me

-Cat POW-
(Point of view)

I became sick as I watched the two of them giggle amongst themselves. Vaughn had loved me once until she came back. Damn Sydney Bristow. She already ruined my life once in a different form. I’ll get her back. I’ll inflict pain on her that should have been done a long time ago.

Buh-bye, Sydney. Hope you rot in hell.

|||||||

what if I said what I was thinking?
what if that says too much?
when everybody's got a reason
I feel like giving up

and you told me
everything I wanted to hear
and you sold me
now I don't know how I should feel
I should know me
and baby you would think I’d know better

Weiss had just been minding his own business, -while watching Vaughn and Sydney- when Dixon came up to him.

“I need you to tell Vaughn and Sydney something”, Dixon said

“What?” Weiss asked

“We believe that the Covenant has placed another mole in our ranks”, he told him without pausing once

“Do we have any idea who?”

“No. But we have an idea” Dixon stopped for a minute to take a deep breath and then continued “The agency thinks it is either Cat Jewel Vancom or….. Jack Bristow”

|||||||

I’m finding my way back to you
and everything I used to be
and waiting is all that I can do
until you find your way back to me


|Weiss POW|

I don’t know if I can tell Sydney. She’ll hate her father for this if his really working for her greatest enemy. It would make sense. Jack did leave a month ago. Right after Sydney found the documents he didn’t want her to find.

But first…. I’m going to talk to Cat. See what she’s like.

||||||||
I’m finding my way back to you
and everything I used to be
and waiting is all that I can do
until you find your way back to me

“Hey. Are you Cat?” Weiss asked

“Uh. Yeah”, she answered uncertainly

“I never really started a conversation with you”

“What is this? Talk to Cat for the first time day?”

“Uh”

“Weiss, I’m really sorry but I have to do things. See ya”

||||||

And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me

I used to get away so much

Weiss slowly made his way up to where Sydney was. “Sydney…”

“Yeah?”

“I have to tell you something”

She looked at him almost immediately. “What?” Sydney sounded worried

“The agency suspects that your father may be working for the Covenant”
