Max Guevara, also known as X5-452, was a soldier training in Manticore until she managed to escape with a few others. Living all alone in Seattle, the beautiful transgenic works at Jam Pony during the day and specializes in burglary during the night, eventually meeting up with Eyes Only and— much to her dismay— Alec.

Alec McDowell, also known as X5-494, was a soldier training in Manticore until he ran away after a mission gone awry— the Berrisford mission. A transgenic on the run with black-clad soldiers after him, Alec meets up with the fiery X5-452 and the two bicker as if there was nothing left to do.

Two transgenics running away from the same enemy— a sassy, fun, and humorous Max meets up with the cunning, mysterious, and sarcastic Alec— it's just a recipe for disaster or love, perhaps even both.

*Even though the show ended more than a decade ago, I still had the idea that Max and Alec would have ended up together eventually, but I didn't like what the writers had done to Max in Season 2. It was like her personality was completely reversed and I did not like it— Season 1 Max and Alec would have gone along perfectly, they had the same mindset and their dynamic would have been so much cooler to see! And so, this is my way of doing them "justice".
