"Family"
Summary: Missing scene from She Ain't Heavy (M/L)
Disclaimer: Do you really think I'd be writing this if I owned anything??
A/N: Okay guys, this is the first thing I've written in a few weeks (see author's note on Prodigal for reasons). As I was watching SAH on Friday, I got this idea, and it nagged me all day today. May I mention that it's late at night, and it's been a really bad week?
Please review!

The Abandoned Building—Logan
To anyone other than myself, the scene in the abandoned warehouse would have been a strange one: one girl tied to a concrete pillar while another who looked exactly like her stood above her with an angry, sarcastic look on her face. I want to run out to Max but know that this 'clone' would beat my ass down in a second, so I keep my distance until I can come up with a distraction. Clone Max starts to speak, interrupting my plans.
"This is my family…maybe you don't know what that means. Maybe you'd just run off and save your own hide like you always do. Not me."
I almost have to agree with her, and the anger at Max's betrayal with, with *him* is brought to mind. I see Max's face contort into a frown, and I know that clone girl has it coming to her.
"Listen, you don't know shit about me, so don't come in here with a few lies that White told you and pretend you know all about me. I'm sorry about your family, but that gives you no right to come in here and judge me like you know what my life is like."
I have to agree with her, although the thought of her and Alec makes me sick. Maybe she considers him her family. She continues, the anger still scarring her beautiful face.
"Maybe I loved my 'sister' Cindy too much to have her hurt, to have her get tangled in this horrible transgenic web. Maybe I love my friend Joshua too much to stay here and see him get hurt…"
Suddenly I see her face change from angry to sad, and a tear slips down her face as she whispers, "Maybe I'm too in love with Logan to tell him the truth, maybe he's better off without me."
Clone Max stares, at an obvious loss for words. Then I hear Max say, stronger this time, "But your right. What do I know about family?"
From a concrete pillar ten feet away, my face breaks into a broad grin. She loves me. She lied to me about Alec, and she loves me. And yeah, right now, times are dark, the transgenics are exposed, and life seems to suck, but she loves me. For the moment, that's all that matters. I pick up a piece of metal and through it away, ready to go play knight in shining armor and liberate the woman I love. I'll play it her way, but now I know the truth, and if I die this instant, I will die a happy man, knowing that the woman I love loves me enough to lie to me.

an: I know this is short, but maybe, if I get reviews, I'll write another chapter with Logan telling Max what he heard. Thanks for reading,
