I don't know about you all, but I was really frustrated and unsatisfied 
by the ending of Friday's Strange Luck...so I thought I'd set down some 
scenes from a crossover, the way I'd like to see it.  And now that I've 
written it, I feel better.  So these are SCENES, not really a story.  
There's no ending...be warned.

Disclaimer: Mulder, Scully, Cigarette Smoking Man, Krycek = Chris Carter's.
Chance, Angie, Eric = Karl Schaeffer's.  (Spelling?)

Feel free to email me - but I'm not expecting a lot of comments.  
Surprise me.  I'd LOVE to hear from any Strange Luck fans out there.

The Strange File

	Mulder and Scully left the diner and walked down the street in 
the warm sunshine.  "So what did you think?" asked Scully.  "He seems 
like a sweet guy."
	"I felt sorry for him," said Mulder.  Scully gave him that look.  
"No seriously...but he reminded me of a guy I saw in a UFO movie."
	"Really?" said Scully.  "He makes me think of ice skating."  She 
shrugged.  They walked on.

	"I know a way we can get some answers," said Chance Harper.  
Mulder and Scully watched as Chance grabbed a roll of masking tape and 
put an X on his window.
	Scully raised her eyebrows at Mulder.  "I have seen some familiar 
faces lurking about town," said Mulder.
	"Chance?" said Scully.  "What's this?"
	Chance turned to them.  "There's this woman...she gives me 
information about my brother.  This is how I get in touch with her."
	"Looks like cell phones are a thing of the past," remarked 
Scully.  "Now we have tape."

	Angie took the trash out behind the restaurant and shivered.  It 
was starting to get cold at nights now.  And she thought she felt someone 
watching her.
	She stiffened as she heard the sound of a familiar cigarette 
lighter and turned.  The man remained in the shadows as he lit his 
cigarette.  "Angie." he said.  "Long time no see."
	"Oh you!" she cried, throwing herself into his arms and kissing 
him.  "I've missed you."

	The warehouse was dark as the two men met.  "Krycek."
	"Vandenberg."
	"You have the tape?" asked Eric.
	Alex (Krycek) nodded.  "How do I know -?"
	"We go way back, don't we?" said Eric.
	"Yeah-" Krycek hesitated.
	"I'll get it to him." Eric said.
	"Not till I'm out of the country."
	"Of course not." promised Eric and Alex handed him the DAT tape 
with the hacked MJ files on it.

	"So where is your Ms. X?" Mulder asked dryly.
	"She'll be here." Chance stated nervously.  "She will."
	Scully patted his arm.  "She's late," she said kindly.  Chance 
turned his blue eyes to her and she forced a smile.  Chance liked her and 
while she thought he was nice, she was working on a case.
	Chance jumped up.  "There she is."  The woman in all black with a 
veil over her face turned and approached them.  "She - uh - uses an 
electronic voice.  She had anthrax."
	"Anthrax!" cried Scully.
	"Don't bug her about it," said Chance.  "They - uh - experimented 
on her."
	"Oh," said Scully, a shiver going through her, memory-visions of 
experimentation flooding her mind.  Mulder put his hand on her shoulder 
and she glanced at him to thank him for his support.
	The woman reached them.  "Hey," said Chance.
	"My God," she said.  "Fox."
	Scully's eyes widened.  Chance's gaze whipped from Ms. X to 
Mulder and back.  "You know him?" he asked Ms. X.
	"I - I - I - Fox."  She said, then turned and ran.
	Mulder turned to Scully.  His face was white.  "Tell me I'm 
wrong," he pleaded.  "Hit me with your logic."
	"Abductees...experimented on...Mulder, I'm sorry." Scully said, 
unwanted tears blocking her throat.  "I think...it's her."
	"No, Scully.  Not like this." Mulder said, his voice breaking.  
He turned cold eyes to Chance.  "You got your brother back.  I lost my 
sister.  And she's not coming back."  He turned and walked away in the 
same direction the woman had gone.

XXX - End.

That's all I wrote.  I couldn't think of any resolution.  If anyone else 
wants to pick this up and have a go, be my guest.

I want to believe...a Strange Luck/X Files cross is coming.

Now I return you to your normal fanfic.
