AN: Sorry for the bad English. I have a beta-reader working on it, but it can last still some time. I was dying to know your opinion.
I haven't seen Dark Angel for about two years so I don't remember the story exactly. But this is mine fanfic and it goes this way. I also haven't seen all eps of NCIS, since the first season is about mid way down in Germany.
Second Encounter
"Look what you have done!" Logan said to the woman next to him, Max Guevara. The both of them were looking down at a place where transgenetic beings were having a party. Max, being one of them had built this place for them. A place where they could live without hiding and being just themselves.
Max, a woman in her twenties was born in Manticore, a lab sponsored by the Government to build the perfect soldier. At the age of nine about twenty of this "prototypes" broke out of Manticore. Max was one of them. Since then all of them were followed by Lydecker, the leader of Manticore.
In the journey of her life, she met more of those transgenos and tried to make life better for them. Now she had built this place, "Terminal City".
But Logan wasn't sure if Max was going to live among them. She needed the space for herself. She had her job as bike messenger at Jam Pony and all her friends. Perhaps she could now do what she wanted her whole life long. Find some love and live without fear.
"Thank you for your help, Logan. I owe you one." Max said.
"You are welcome, but it was most of your doing." Logan answered. There they stood; looking down at the folks, holding gloved hands. It would have killed Logan in no time when Max had touched him since she carried a virus which was deadly for him. Only the guys of Manticore had an antiserum, but it was destroyed while burning down Manticore. There was no hope for them.
Logan met Max about two years ago, while she was stealing a statue from his apartment. He tried everything to find her and he did it. They had an agreement. She was going to help Logan with his work and he tried everything to find some of her family. They felt in love but then Max was captured and poisoned with this virus.
"Logan, can we go? I want to be alone."
"Sure, where would you like to go?"
"Your apartment, if it's okay with you?" she said.
"Max, you know you can ever come to me. I like having you around. And I think there we will have the best opportunity to speak." So they went slowly back to his car. Logan wasn't really that fast on my feet since he was shot into the back and forced to take a wheelchair due to a broken spinal cord. They had tried a blood-transfer with Max' blood what had a part-time success but not in the long run. Only because of some kind of machine, the exoskeleton, Logan was able to walk.
The ride back was in complete silence. Back at his penthouse Logan opened a bottle of wine and poured each of them a glass.
"How do you feel, Max? You are some kind of god for them?"
"I don't know. I just tried to make life better for them. But what's with me now? My whole life I tried to find Zack and the others. Now I have found them my life seems so worthless. No goal to reach anymore."
"Are you sure? Now you can have a normal life. No-one is looking for you to take you as guinea pig."
"I am as 'normal' as I can be. I mean I have still this gene cocktail in me. So what should I do as normal woman?"
"As far as I know most of the normal women want to have a family with a guy they love, a job they like and a house with white fence in a nice neighbourhood. Does that sound good for you?" he asked hopeful.
"A guy I love? Sounds good but the only man I care for will die if I touch him. Not the best prerequisite to start a family!"
Max looked a kind of lost. "Max, we will find a way. All you have to know is that I love you. Don't forget that. I love you with all your gene-cocktail."
"Why do I think there is a 'but' coming?" Max asked.
"There is a 'but'. I think you need some time to find out what you will do with your life. I need to find a doctor who can repair my spinal cord and find a serum for the virus. Tomorrow I will leave Seattle. When you are ready for me, you will find me. Until then, Max. I will always love you."
