  Possibilities: Chapter 6
  Mulder's Plan
  by Bertie

  Mulder woke and found himself alone in his apartment.

  "Well, Alex did say he wouldn't be here all week." He took a shower and 
  dressed, a little glad that Alex wasn't going to be there all week. Mulder was 
  uncertain how to react to Skinner once he was at work.

  "As long as Alex leaves me alone for a while, maybe I can balance things 
  easier," Mulder thought to himself.

  Luckily, the first thing was a trip out of town with Scully in tow and only a 
  cursory briefing by Skinner before they left. In no time, he forgot his lovers 
  for the real love of his life-the X-files. The professional aloofness that 
  Skinner showed him helped to keep Mulder focused the rest of the week and only 
  his eyes revealed a gleam that seemed to wink at Mulder once in a while.
  Mulder wondered about Alex and this other man in Alex's life. "If only he 
  would confide in me!"

  Muder sighed as he entered his apartment, hoping to see Alex before he left to 
  Walter's for the weekend. Alex wasn't there. He shrugged and decided a run 
  might clear his head. He pulled on his sweats and T-shirt. He doubted Walter 
  and he would do much running, conserving their energy for major lovemaking. He 
  smiled as he tied his running shoes.

  The run was good for him. He came back to his apartment, spirits up, thinking 
  of spending a glorious weekend at Walter's. Just as he opened the door, a 
  190-pound ex-agent attacked him.

  "Alex!"

  "Baby, you're so sexy when you're back from your runs."

  "I'm all sweaty and I stink!"

  "All the better, I love you like this."

  Mulder sighed. He couldn't resist a seriously horny Alex. He ran his tongue 
  over Alex's lips as his lover's fingers ran down his back and into his sweat 
  pants. Mulder pressed himself closer to his black clad lover by gripping 
  Alex's firm ass. Alex winced. "Fuck, don't do that, baby."

  "Alex, do you love this man who does this to you?"

  Alex groaned and pulled away. "Fox, you know that I can't talk to you about 
  that."

  "Why not? I told you I love - my other man. Why can't you tell me if you love 
  the man who does this to you practically every time you are away from me?"

  Alex nodded. "Ok, baby. I did. I did love R-rico at one time but now--now I 
  wonder if he really loves me or just wants to have me as some sort of prized 
  possession."

  Mulder was shocked Alex revealed the man's name. He had never said his name 
  before. Maybe there was some hope...

  "Do you want to leave him, Alex?"

  Alex pulled away and put his hand up to his face, his truncated arm pressed 
  tightly to his body.

  "Yes, I think I do, but how? If I leave, he will send any number of goons 
  after me. Plus the Consortium will want a piece of me, too. If I leave, I will 
  have to leave for good."

  "Let me help you, baby."

  "You can't do that. Rico knows who you are. He wouldn't hesitate to track you 
  down even if the Consortium will kill him. I think he's a little off his 
  rocker."

  "I know of people who can help you."

  "Who?"

  "Well, my friends the Lone Gunmen-"

  Alex snorted. "Give me a break!"

  "What about Skinner?" Mulder said it before thinking and nearly cried out in 
  fear of revealing something.

  "My former boss who'd just as easily kill me as look at me?"

  "He's got some influence and he's bound to know some people who could help 
  you."

  "So you're telling me my options are the three stooges or an ex-Marine who's 
  liable to eat me for lunch as soon as look at me? No thanks, I'd rather face 
  what Rico has for me than either of those options."

  Mulder pouted then whispered, "Please tell me you'll at least think about it, 
  lover."

  Alex stared at Mulder's sweet pouty lip and grunted out, "Ok, I'll think about 
  it."

  He pulled Mulder to him and kissed the pout from Mulder's lips, then purred, 
  "I'd be more obliging if you stayed with me this weekend, baby."

  Mulder shook his head. "I can't do that to- to him, Alex. I will come back 
  early Sunday, I promise."

  Mulder knew he had to tell Walter something, he just wasn't sure what. To 
  reveal Alex as his lover would certainly screw his plans up. Mulder was 
  certain Walter could help Alex.

  Mulder pressed Alex to him. "Come on, lover, we have tonight at least."

  Alex smiled. "That's my sweet love monkey talking."

  *******************

  Alex felt the bed shake as Mulder got up. He rolled over and pretended to 
  still be asleep. Mulder meanwhile was dressing hurriedly and only stopped to 
  glance over at Alex on the bed for a moment before leaving. When he heard the 
  door shut, Alex rose and dressed quickly, leaving his prosthesis behind. He 
  had no time for it now.

  He watched Mulder get into his car then waited until he saw the direction he 
  was heading before getting into his own car. He stayed several cars back but 
  because of the lateness of the hour, there wasn't very much traffic and the 
  streetlights kept it bright enough for him to see Mulder's car ahead.

  "Where the fuck are you going, Mulder?" Alex wondered as he watched his 
  lover's car heading east. "You're not going back to the JEH are you?"

  But Mulder suddenly turned off and headed into Crystal City.

  Alex pondered it for a bit then groaned, "Fuck no, Mulder. Don't you dare go 
  and tell Skinner..."

  Alex couldn't believe Mulder would mess with his weekend to visit his boss on 
  a Friday night at two in the morning. Skinner would have a fit. Not feeling 
  particularly benevolent towards his lover at this late hour, Alex shrugged and 
  thought. "Fine, let him learn the hard way."

  He went around the block before going back and entering into the parking lot 
  that Mulder had just pulled into. "Well, he shouldn't be here too long. I'll 
  wait and follow him when he returns."

  **********************

  While Alex was in the parking lot, waiting, Mulder entered Skinner's apartment 
  with a key he was given earlier in the week. It was dark, but there was a 
  single lamp on, so he tiptoed up the stairs and into the bedroom. Skinner was 
  snoring lightly and Mulder was happy he was still asleep. He did not relish 
  waking the sleeping AD. There was only the dim light from downstairs to go by 
  so he went cautiously to the bed.

  "Might as well wake a sleeping lion," he thought wisely. He began taking his 
  shirt and jeans off. Setting his keys as quietly as he could on top of the 
  discarded clothes, he then turned and lay gingerly in the bed. He cried out 
  when the AD's big hands grabbed him.

  "Walter! You scared the fuck out of me!"

  "Never sneak up on a Marine, agent."

  "Yes, sir!"

  Walter snickered and kissed his shaking lover into quiescence.

  "Better?"

  "Oh yeah," breathed Mulder.

  As the big man continued to kiss his suddenly reluctant lover, Mulder tried to 
  speak, "Walt-"*smooch*"...I have to" *lick* "...speak" *kiss* "...to 
  you-Halt!"

  Mulder's hand covered Skinner's mouth.

  "As much as I enjoy your kisses, love, I need to speak to you about something 
  important."

  He pulled his hand away when he felt Skinner soften against him. Skinner 
  reached over and flicked the bedside lamp on.

  "Is it about your other lover?" he asked after turning his attention back to 
  Mulder.

  "Other?"

  "Don't play coy with me, Mulder. I know that there is someone else in your 
  life. It's kind of hard to miss when the evidence is right there."

  "Where?"

  "On your neck, Mulder. The other side of where I put my mark. I sorta figured 
  it out that you were with another. I don't blame you. You're young, 
  attractive...hell, I still can't figure why you picked me-"

  Mulder shook his head. "No, none of that. I am sorry I didn't tell you right 
  off. I hate games like that. My l-lover and I have been doing it too often 
  lately...I owe you an apology for that. But that doesn't mean you should 
  question how I feel about you, Walter. He was my first male lover but that 
  isn't really what I wanted to talk to you about...only partly. There is 
  someone who needs your help. Someone who needs more than just a safe home."

  Walter seemed to be paying close attention so Mulder continued.

  "Before I tell you who it is, I want you to understand the situation. This man 
  has proven to me that he is sincere in his desire to leave the Consortium-"

  When Skinner began to interrupt Mulder shook his head, "Let me finish and then 
  you can ask or say anything."

  Mulder sighed then nodded, "Yes, it is someone we both know, and it is someone 
  who I know you may not want to trust--It is Krycek."

  Skinner looked into Mulder's eyes. "If you didn't look so sincere, Mulder, I 
  would have thought you were pulling my leg."

  Mulder returned the look, gazing deeply into Skinner's warm brown eyes, "I am 
  sincere in this and so is he. I know he really wants to leave and I know that 
  he isn't playing a trick or trying to deceive me with some Consortium plan. I 
  don't even think he knows that I am going to you. I did mention you, but I 
  don't really think he liked the idea at all."

  Skinner put his hand to Mulder's face. "I believe you. But you must realize I 
  have to think about this. I have to be sure that he is not just playing 
  games...plus, I think we have at least all weekend for me to consider it. 
  Right now I have much better ideas in mind."

  With that they kissed deeply and all thoughts of Krycek fled.

  *******************************

  He waited. And waited. And waited. He couldn't believe Mulder would be there 
  for so long. Surely the gruff AD would have sent Mulder on his way the minute 
  he showed up for something other than work. Alex suddenly became suspicious. 
  Maybe Mulder had revealed that they were lovers and Skinner had decided to 
  kill Mulder or torture him.

  "Maybe he is kidnapping him in order to get information out of me-whatever 
  he's doing, it probably ain't pretty."

  With that thought, Alex convinced himself that there was no time like the 
  present to find out precisely what the hell was going on.
  Once he was able to get into the building itself, getting to the 17th floor 
  was a piece of cake. He stared at the door to Skinner's apartment for a 
  moment, wondering what he should do. Knock, barge in, or sneak in? Sneaking 
  seemed to be the best option. He put his ear to the door and tried to hear any 
  noise. There seemed to be nothing but muffled sounds, as if from a distance.
  "Good. They aren't in the living room. Well that helps," he thought to 
  himself.

  He quickly picked the lock and entered the apartment. He heard nothing for a 
  moment and wondered if the sound he'd heard had been just his imagination or 
  maybe from another apartment. He shut the door softly, and then he heard 
  another noise. It was a muffled moan.

  "What the fuck is that bastard doing to Mulder?" he almost whispered that out 
  loud. He caught it in time, then looked up from the bottom of the stairs as he 
  heard another, louder, sound.

  "Oh God, yes!"

  Alex froze. He knew exactly what that was. "The little slut! Is he selling his 
  --" he stopped that thought. He looked down at his watch and shook his head.

  "No fucking way! That little slut has been boinking his boss?!" The thought 
  seemed to slither around in his mind and he wondered if there was a way to 
  shoot it.

  He then heard the squeaking of a mattress and the grunts of what could only be 
  a certain surly AD who was thoroughly enjoying himself.

  "Fuck, I gotta see this to believe it," he told himself and quietly began to 
  ascend the stairs. Once in the hall, just before the bedroom entrance, Alex 
  paused. It had suddenly become deathly quiet. He had not heard a cry of 
  completion.

  "Oh shit," he thought then said it out loud when a hand grabbed his wrist just 
  as he maneuvered himself in front of the doorway.

  "Krycek, what the fuck are you doing here?" it was a low bark, ready to turn 
  fierce if need be. His wrist was wrapped in a steel-like grip. Useless to even 
  try to escape. He turned his attention to the man who gripped his wrist: A 
  bare-chested AD in tight jeans that barely hid an impressive erection and 
  nothing else. His gun was smoothly removed by the AD who tucked into his back 
  pocket.

  "Well, now I see the attraction," said one part of his brain to the other.

  "Shut the fuck up!" groaned the other side.
 
  "Well?!" this time a much gruffer bark, tingeing on ferocity.

  "Walter, he probably followed me," said Mulder hidden somewhere behind the big 
  man.

  "Is that true?"

  Alex nodded then suddenly got very pissed.

  "Is this what you do on your weekends, Walt? Fuck your subordinates? Maybe I 
  should have stayed in the FBI."

  "As if."

  Those words coming from the burly AD seemed incongruous to his nature. Alex 
  caught sight of a very sheepish Mulder pulling on a T-shirt. His little hard 
  points of desire were quickly covered.

  "What do you think we should do with him, Mulder?"

  "Walter, you know what I was talking about earlier, about getting Krycek help 
  to leave the Consortium-you really think you can do that?"

  Walter's head flipped back to Alex, still being pressed into the door. Alex 
  smiled at him, then batted his lashes, sarcastically playing the damsel in 
  distress for a moment. Walter turned his attention once more to Mulder.

  "Wait a minute--are you saying that this is your 'first time,' Mulder? I 
  couldn't figure out why you would wanna help the rat bastard but now I'm 
  getting the full picture."

  "Walter, it's not what you think. Alex really is in trouble and he wants to 
  leave-don't you, Alex?" Mulder's voice was becoming whiny.

  Alex didn't say anything at first, then in a quiet, though hardly subdued 
  voice, he declared, "Skinner, Mulder and I have been lovers for a year now. I 
  think you should know that before agreeing to help me."

  Walter removed his hands from Krycek and folded his arms under his chest, 
  staring back and forth between Mulder and Krycek.

  "That's one impressive chest!" thought Alex then smiled to himself, 
  remembering another time when he'd had the chance to briefly glance at it. He 
  was frowning a second later as he then remembered the crippling blow the older 
  man had administered immediately after.

  Walter sighed. "OK. I will help you, Krycek."

  Alex stared at him as if he were an alien. "You really mean to help me?"

  "Of course. I do not play games with something like this, Krycek."

  Alex seemed to deflate, feeling he had someone to help him, finally.
