Chapter 1: Back in hell
Manticore
It's been nine months since Lydecker turned them back into Manticore. Max and Zack have both been separated, after Max had the baby of course. They wanted to keep the couple together as Max went through her pregnancy because they wanted to see the affects it would have on Zack. Yet after Max had the baby they didn't hesitate to take him away from her.
He hated it, the only time he ever saw Max now was in the training yard in the morning. He hasn't been able to see his baby yet, but Max did get a chance to tell him that it was a boy and she named it Ben, after there brother who didn't make it outside Manticore. She thought it would mean a lot to him because Ben was the one sibling he couldn't save.
Zack was sitting alone in his barracks at the moment; he was waiting for the guard to come let him out so he could go into the yard to see Max. This isn't what he wanted for them, he wanted their son to grow up in a world where he could do whatever it was that he wanted. But no, they were here in the hell that him and Max started out in. He just hoped that he didn't end up like his brother Ben.
The guard came up to the door and unlocked. "Report to that field 599," the guard said.
"It's Zack you jack ass," Zack said as he walked by and out into the field where he once again saw Max. She looked even better then the last time he saw her. Yet the only problem was that she looked like she turned back into one of those mindless soldiers that they tried so hard to escape.
She looked straight ahead like all the others and she talked when they said to talk. But what hurt the most was when they called out 452 she answered as if she had been answering to that her entire life. "That's it," Zack said as he took of toward Max. There was no way that he could continue watching the women he love subjecting herself to this kind of torment anymore.
He wasn't going to take it anymore; he was going to get them out of her if his life depended on it. He stood in front of her and all he saw ahead of him was a toned face. No emotion for him and that was defiantly not the women he loved.
"Max snap out of it," he said. "This isn't you; you've fought your whole life to get rid of this part of your life." The guards came up behind him and started to drag him away, no doubt for re-indoctrination. "How are you going to let your son live through this," he said. And then he saw it, the slightest move of her eye that said she was still in there and all she was doing was playing around.
From that time on he let the guards take him away without any struggle. Because he knew that Max wasn't gone and that she was going to get out of her whether or no she made it because she did want her son to have a better childhood than she was able to.
"452 eyes front," the guard yelled and Max had a little smile on her face when she turned back furrowed. "What's so funny 452?" he asked her.
"The simple fact that when I get the hell out of here I am going to make sure that I kick you ass first," she said and then took off after Zack.
Before Zack knew what was going on the guards that had been holding him are no longer holding him and when he turned around he saw Max's smiling face looking back at him. "Miss me?" she asked him. He took her in his arms and swung her around. "Now what do you say we get our son and get the hell out of here?" she asked him and as soon as they stopped the started in again. The headed toward the medical wing.
Medical Wing
All the doctors had been working on the child from 452 and 599, because with all honesty they were not supposed to be able to producing an offspring because there DNA was too closely matched. Yet here was the baby that everyone was curious about.
452's mate was supposed to be 494 and identical twin to 453 because they were the two that had been made for one another. From the beginning of the breeding program every single X5 had been paired off with another that would make the perfect offspring that could work towards Manticore's advantage. The offspring from 599 and 452 was not that offspring and that had everyone worried.
Just as the doctor was about to take out 4599 and start experimenting with him again the doors burst open and in walked two very angry parents looking for their son. Zack went right over to the doctor and grabbed him by the collar before through him up against the wall making sure the impact knocked him out.
"Grab Ben," Zack told Max as he went to the two doors in the back of the room. "All clear," he said and then he, Max and Ben made there way out of the medical room where their son had experienced more horror than he needed to at his age.
As the med doors closed behind then all the doors locked down and they were no longer able to go anywhere. Zack was in attack mode in an instant. He was going to protect his family even if it cost him his life.
Zack saw a window at the end of the hall and he noticed that it was one of the only windows that didn't have bars on them. Yet before he could start moving he felt his whole body go numb. And when he turned around Max was on the floor to and the baby was in Lydecker's arms.
"Where did you think you were going 599?" Lydecker asked with a sadistic look on his face as he looked down at the baby. Zack couldn't speak, which meant he couldn't scream out as he watched Lydecker take off this his son in his arms.
Zack's barrack
Zack was lying in his bonk staring up at ceiling. He wasn't disappointed that he didn't escape because he finally got to see what his son looked like. And he had to agree with Max, Ben was the perfect name for there son.
He couldn't believe that finally he had something to look forward to. Before all he had to look forward to would be Max and their future together, but now he could look forward to watching his son grow up. He just hopes that he will be able to live without always having to look over his shoulder.
He rolled over in his miniature little cot that they have given his to sleep on. He had to find a way out of here, if not for him then for his son. Because this was one life that he didn't want his son to grow up in.

AN: I know I said before that it was going to be long like the max/alec on I have going but I thought it would be better if it was shortened and was so drown out. Anyways it might be awhile before my next update because I have some many more stories going on and I won't be home for awhile so I don't know when I will be able to update next.
