Sorry about the formatting I didn't realize that i had posted it as one lump sum hope this is easier to read.


The first thing Alec found was the black leather jacket with little brass buttons. He knew it was hers she had been wearing it not two hours ago at command. He continued on down the street headed towards their apartment.

All he wanted to do was take a long hot shower and fall asleep. They hadn't gotten the water heater working yet so he knew he wasn't getting that. At the entry to the apartment building he found the deep gray sweat shirt, with black graphics it smelled like her. He picked it up and held it in his arms with the leather jacket.

He opened the door and started into the building. On the first floor landing he found the baby blue tee. He had watched he put it on this morning, he added it to the pile and continued up the stairs. Why were her clothes strung about Terminal City? Well whatever the reason he knew that if he didn't pick them up then she would be more than pissed in the morning.

When he reached the second floor the noticed a boot, black with laces to the top, yeah she only wore on special occasions when she was planning on having to kick ass, it was one of those days today. He found the other boot on the third floor, gathering up the items Alec walked down the hall toward the apartment and his bed.

He found a sock just out side the door that was still partially open. His senses on high alert as he pushed the door open the rest of the way. There was no one here but her he could feel it, but he checked the rest of the apartment any way.

He dropped the pile that he had collected on the shabby couch that they had managed to find in an old warehouse, and then shut the door. He started to take his jacket off and his sweat shirt, next came his boots and socks, he left them on the couch as well and headed toward the bedroom. He pulled his shirt over his head as he entered the room and threw it into the hamper, unlike her he didn't leave his clothes all over the city.

As he reached the bedroom door way he saw her sprawled across the bed face down asleep. He had to laugh when he saw her, she had her jeans still on, and her tank top was half way over her head and she only had on sock on. Alec slowly made his way over to her and removed the sock, and started work on the tank top. Then he started on the jeans since he knew that she wouldn't sleep as well with them on.

Once she was more or less ready for bed Alec removed his jeans and sat on the edge of the bed. He tapped the back of his hand against her leg hoping she would get the hint even in her sleep and move over so that he could lay next to her. She understood and rolled over. Alec laid down and pulled the blankets up over them as he snuggled into her.

As he kissed he on the head she whispered, "Night Alec." And he whispered back, "Night Maxie" and kissed her head again and closed his eyes.
