Summary: Max comes back from Manticore to find things have changed.
A/N: So far it's a one shot but I could continue with it if you want me too. Please review and let me know how I did in my first Dark Angel Fan fiction.

The first place Max could even think of going was to see Logan. She had just escaped from Manticore and knew that she had to see him. Logan had told her he would wait for her and that was the only thing that had kept Max going throughout her time she was forced to stay at Manticore. Now as she descended into Logan's apartment through the skylight she knew that they could finally be together. It had never been the right time for them. Each time they had come close to being together another obstacle was thrown at them. Though just before their last fight against Manticore they had revealed their feelings for one another. Logan was going to wait for her and Max had waited for him as well. She quietly slipped through the apartment after she had landed in Logan's bedroom. As soon as she slipped out of his bedroom she had a view of the room where Logan normally was working on his computer. Before she spotted him she could hear faint voices. Her entire body froze when she spotted Logan. He wasn't alone. A woman with blonde hair stood over him massaging his shoulders. Their backs were to her and she hoped that she could slip out just as quietly as she had come in.
"You've always been so distracting," Logan told her.
"You say that like it's a bad thing?"
Max heard Logan laugh. She never would have thought that waiting for someone could end so quickly. She had stayed away too long and now Logan had moved on. It felt as though someone stabbed her in the heart twisting the dagger to make her feel the pain quadruple. Max slowly backed away not really paying attention to where she was going. She knocked over the very statue that had brought her and Logan together. She dashed into the shadows just as the woman and Logan spun around She watched his eyes fall on the broken statue before turning back to the computer.
"I'll clean it up," the blonde offered.
"Asha," Logan told her firmly, "We can take care of that just as soon as we finish up here."
Logan was still focused on the mission as ever. She just wished that she could be his mission. With one last look at Logan she quietly said goodbye before she scaled the wall and disappeared the same way she had come. As raced towards her old apartment that she had shared with Original Cindy she couldn't help but think of how that shattered statue was just proof that she and Logan were over. Her heart was just as shattered as that statue was and she doubted it could ever be fixed. She slipped into the apartment her and Original Cindy had shared before she had disappeared an hour after leaving Logan's. She knew it was late and that OC was probably sleeping. But at that moment she needed her best friend more than she ever had before. She slipped through the curtain and found OC sleeping in her bed. Max didn't want to wake up OC since she knew how she was when OC was woken up in the middle of the night. She only laid down next to her hoping sleep would keep her heart break off of her mind.
"Max?" Original Cindy whispered.
"I'm back," Max told her quietly.
Original Cindy took in Max's appearance and saw the look of pain in her eyes. She realized that she had probably been to Logan's. She had seen him a few times since Max had 'died'. She knew he had been torn apart by Max's death. Then a month ago he had started hanging out with this girl Asha. Even when he denied that they were anything but friends Original Cindy now knew that he had been lying to her the whole time. Max had never been one to let heart show on her sleeve.
"I'm sorry Boo," Original Cindy told her.
"I just want to forget him," Max told her as the tears silently slid down her cheeks.
Original Cindy didn't know what to say so she just pulled Max into her arms and let her cry until she couldn't cry anymore. Max cried herself to sleep and for once it was Original Cindy that couldn't sleep.
