As Ripley grabbed her cat, Danny was busy making sure that the escape pods were still in working order. When he heard the screams he snickered, thinking that Sliver was scaring them. He grabbed several large containers of water and coffee, before waiting for his friend to show up.

The large glossy black alien slid into place behind him, bloody red meat dripping from its claws. Danny led the alien into the pod and with a simple push of a button, they went flying into space, the pod sending them to the planet below, even as the large ship behind them was blown into nothingness. They watched as Ripley's shuttle flew off, and the boy and alien watched quietly as the planet drew nearer with every breath.

After about an hour, they touched down and Danny put his feet on solid ground for the first time in more than fifty years. He breathed in deeply, ignoring the poisonous air as his body became accustomed to it. Sliver watched the boy, before beginning to nudge him in the direction of a large shape in the distance.

As the alien led the way, Danny followed. He was free. Free of the Company, Free of the scientists and their experiments. Free of everything! A giggle left his mouth, before he descended into laughter. He flew joyously through the dense atmosphere, snow white hair being blown back by the wind.

It was only the odd hissing noise of his friend that brought him back to the ground. He smiled at Sliver and followed it into the bowels of the large and ancient ship. They made it to the egg room and Danny flew closer to the floor, unaware that one of the eggs was opening until a creature leapt at him, and attached itself to his face. Danny panicked as the spider-scorpion-hand thing shoved something down his esophagus, its tail winding around his throat, odd chemicals that were helpinghim breath made him pass out andd hit the floor, leaving a worried Sliver to watch and stand guard over his prone form.

A day passed, and the Facehugger released its hold on the male and skittered away to curl up to die. Danny woke a moment later, his ghostly healing kicking in and removing thte knockout gas from his body. He coughed and hacked, trying to dislodge whatever had been placed in his chest.

He made his hand intangible and drew out the oval shaped object. He panted heavily, getting his breath back, even as Sliver hissed in worry.
"I'm ok. Lets find a better place to go now." He rasped, keeping a gentle hold of the tiny creature in his hands, unsure of what to do with it.

Sliver crooned and followed its pack mate and queen to a different part of the ship to sleep and regain energy. It could tell that there were no life forms on this planet besides the two legged pack mate, the eggs, and the queen. Tiredness slipped over it and it curled into a ball underneath Danny's feet. He looked down and saw his sleeping friend so Danny hovered closer, the creature in his hands was fast asleep as well.

Danny let out a sigh and turned his body invisible so that other Facehuggers couldnt see him and curled up next to Sliver. He had been forced into sleep many times, so he was glad he could sleep now under his own power. His eyes slid closed and he slipped into a recovering sleep, his invisibility staying with how often he did it to protect himself from the scientists.

As he slept, memories entered his head and he could do nothing but watch.

Memory starts:
The Guys in White carried the too thin boy to the limo that was idling by the curb. A large man in an orange jump suit ran up to them, followed by a slim woman in a light blue jumpsuit.
"What are you doing with my son?!" The both shouted angrily, whipping out their ghost weapons and pointing it at the men.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, My name is Mr. Yutani and this is my partner Mr. Weyland. We are the owners of the Weyland-Yutani Space and Science division. Your son is the one the locals call Inviso-Bill. We are merely going to take him and see if we can't help him." The smooth talking man calmly replied, not giving the boy's parents any time to recover as they all piled in and drove off, leaving confused and concerned parents behind.
