Theme 028 - Flying (about 1,024 words)

Rex loved flying. He thought it was one of the best thing ever. Only a few other things were as cool and neat as flying was. Flying was awesome. He just felt so free when he was flying. The air in his hair the wind against his face. It was amazing. Beautiful. He could get out and do what he wanted. Go where he wanted. Leave providence behind. Sure he'd come back and or they would find him. Whatever came first. But still flying away with the boogie pack jet pack was an amazing awesome experience that he loved. It was one of his favorite thing to do. One of his favorite builds. He loved it when he trained with his jet pack. He felt free. He felt light. He felt invincible.

 He was doing one such training exercise today. He was flying around the providence keep with Six supervising his training, making sure that Rex didn't fly off and run away again. They needed him here today. They couldn't wast resources trying to get him when they had important things to attend to after this. Rex was smiling big and laughing a lot as he fly loops around the big ship known as the keep. The keep was providence's mobile headquarters and a home away from home for Rex.

Soon enough it was time for him to come in. Training was over for the day, at least morning training was. The fourteen year old boy complained. Rex whined and complained a lot. He wanted to stay out a bit longer. Six sternly told him to come back in now and that they had things to do. The boy complained more. Rex turned and flew away. Six yelled behind him to get back then called him on the ear piece communicator and told him to come back but the young boy ignored him and tossed the communicator away over the water.

Rex continued to fly off enjoying his flight. Not thinking about what and who he was leaving behind or what trouble he was in or more like would be in when he got home or was found. Flying high over a small down and over a desert. Rex loved it. Flying was amazing after all. He felt the wind slam against his exposed face and his goggles. It was a wonderful experience. He simply just loved it. And now he was free for the day too. It was so great. He knew he would have to go back sometime soon but that was oat because he was enjoying that day and free time that he had now. He knew it wouldn't last long or forever but he would fly as much as he could until he had to return home.

He flew to the mountains. The forest was just lovely. He love the forest more then the wind in his hair during flight. He enjoyed the peace and quite and the secluded of the forest. He laid back and relaxed for a long while , until it was about midday. At noon he woke from his nap and deiced that he was there long enough and took off for a flight again. He made the boogie pack jet pack once more and flew away.

He loved it. The cold rush of air on his face woke up his senses more from his nap as he went any way he wanted and felt like. The freedom that flight brought him. Again he thought about how much he loved flying. Flying was amazing. Flying was just wonderful. Really was awesome.

He flew loops and circles around what ever he came across. He laughed as he flew around. It was so much fun to get that rush as he dipped up and down and flew every which way. The wind swooshing all around him. He figured Six and providence was still searching for him and that he should get back home but he did not care he wanted to fly more and be free. Kinda like a bird. He didn't need wings , like real feather like wings. He had his own jet pack to coast the skies with. It made him feel like the sky was his and his alone.

As the skies got dark he decided he should head home and face his lecture. He turned into the direction of home, providence headquarters and headed home. He flew and flew. He relied how far he flew he had a ways to go before he got home. His flight was a long one. How he was not tired was bond him. Also how he was not found was a loss to him. His flight was finally over as he got home. He reached the front gates and landed. He was home. He tried to sneak in but he knew it was no sue and he was right.

Six was waiting for him and noticed when he came in. Here it goes he was going to get yelled at and worse of all he would not be allowed to fly for training for a long time to come.

"Go to your room , you're grounded Rex. I'm both mad and disappointed at you. We'll talk in the morning." Six said pointing to the direction of the boy's room. Rex sighed and walked to his room with his head hung low.

He loved to fly. It was true. Flying was amazing and was part of freedom. He tried to fly all the time. He flew as much as he was allowed to and had time to. He felt so free when ever he did. But he abused his privileges a lot like he did today and he would fly off running away took a new meaning and he would not come home for hours. Six would punish him but not letting him train with his boogie pack jet pack for months. The boy hated it. But Rex knew it was fair. He deserved such a punishment. But soon enough he would be back in the skies flying once more with a huge grin and the wind in his hair. Because flying was awesome.

Theme 027 - Safe in your arms (about ,1070 words)

He felt safe.  The ten year old felt safe now. Rex slept soundly as he snuggled close to his adoptive father's chest. The man's arms wrapped around the boy. He was safe now. The boy had quite a day. So did his father, Agent Six. Six had a very stressful day. Rex had been kidnapped and they had no clue where he was or who had taken him. It was very worrying. The sound of the boy's cry when he was grabbed was heartbreaking. Six was still kicking himself that he let his guard down and that he was not fast enough to stop this from happening but he was thankful to have his son back now. Rex always felt safe in his father's arms but now especially he felt comfort and secure.

Six remembered how the day started. It was going so well. Rex completed his training without complaint the father and son ate breakfast together and he allowed Rex to have sugary cereal for once. There were no EVOs to fight. They had a morning off. He decided that Rex needed to get out and get some fresh air so he took the boy out to the city for a walk and lunch at his favorite pizza place. A rare treat and a rare act on Six's part. Now Six wished they just stayed home at the headquarters. They would have never had such a traumatic day... then Rex would have been safe all day.

They had finished their walk and were heading to their next destination of the pizza shop, Rex happily and excitedly rambling on and on about what kind of pizza he would get.

"I think I'll order a slice with extra cheese! Hey can I get a root-beer float with it? I'd really like a float. Maybe I'd get pepperoni on my pizza."

Six simply nodding to the boy's ramblings.

"Maybe you can get a float , we'll see" He managed to get in.

Their conversation was stopped when a man approached them. Six was on guard , like always but not as high alert as he should have been. The man was not that suspicious and no one was worried. He ended up only asking for directions

"Excuse me but do you happen to know which way to the Nella's restaurant?"  He asked.

"Go that way until North Baker Street and turn left it will be right there" Six guided.

"Thanks stranger" The man said.

Then the man walked off when they told him which was to go. Six and Rex got to the pizza place with out incident but as they got into the door Rex cried out as someone grabbed him from behind.

"Six help!!"

Six was quick to react and even then it was not fast enough. The kidnapper was to fast. Way to fast. Rex was gone. Damn it.

Six raced out of the pizza parlor and back to his jump jet, he already had Providence informed on his communicator ear piece.

"Holiday, Rex has been kidnapped! I need you to try to track him down!"

He quickly and anxiously made his was back to headquarters to help figure out who took Rex and how to get him back. Good thing the tracker they placed in him was still functional. Doctor Holiday was able to track down the coordinates of where Rex was taken.

"I found him Six, I've got his coordinates."

Six quickly got to the jump jet and headed for the location given to him. He got there and landed. He climbed out of the jump jet and sneaked inside. Inside he found the same man that stopped them on the streets and Rex tired up in the corner with a rag shoved in his mouth to stop him from yelling. Tears ran down the boy's face and bruises lined his face. Blue nanite lines kept appearing and disappearing as the nanites tried to heal him and he tried to use his powers. Neither one was working for some reason.

Six felt a seething hatred for the man. Why would anyone do such a thing to a child? Not only that but to Rex. His son. Someone purposely kidnapped and hurt his son. The man still didn't know that Six is there. Rex didn't notice him either. Which was good. He might give Six away to the man. Six slowly pulled one of his swords. In one quick motion he sliced at the back of the man. Then man turned as blood dripped down him onto the floor. He pulled a weapon of his own and a fight broke out. Rex's eyes widened in happiness as he saw Six. Then they filled with worry and fear as he saw the blood and the fight broke out. He calmed down and watched as the two men fought. He calmed down enough to use his powers again and broke free of the rope. The bruises healed and he raced to his father's side to help him fight. Although he needed no help.

They took out the mystery man and the ten year old boy jump up and hugged his adoptive father.

"Oh my god that was so scary!" The boy cried as he was hugged back. "And painful...Six it hurt so bad he batted my face when I wouldn't answer his questions." Rex sniffled and pulled away from his father even though he didn't want to. He felt safe in his arms. " He wanted to know about providence's secrets. But even I don't know most of them...He wouldn't take no for an answer"

Six shushed and comforted the young boy. "Shh Rex it's okay. It's all over. The man is gone now. Gone for good. You are safe in my arms. I won't let nothing bad happen to you now." He held the boy close once more. Hugging him close.

"Don't leave me , okay?" The boy said still sniffly and upset.

"Come on let's get some pizza and go home." Six offered as he ruffled the boy's short black hair. The bot hugged his tight once more before they set off for the jump jet to get the pizza and then head home. They got their pizza and Rex got a rootbeer float. Then they headed home. Rex still a bit upset and tired he got ready for bed and Six for once tucked him in. Holding him close. He wouldn't let this happen ever again. Rex was safe with him.
