Peace. That's what Max felt when she woke up that morning. Total and complete peace. White was dead, and maybe with some luck Lydecker was going to help her find her birth mother. Then she remembered where she was, that little motel on the side of the road on the way back to Seattle.
She roled over and held Logan close to her. It was all over. Her enemies were gone and she was finally free to live her life. Max had finally gotten her man. She stared at Logan while he slept and all she could do was smile. Two years it had been since they'd met. Two years of so much tension you could cut it with a knife. They were finally together though, and in this end, that's all that really matter.
Max felt Logan start to stir. Before his eyes even opened a smile appeared across his face. Unlike her, he knew exactly where he was and what had happened the night before. Two years of tension and love had culminated in the most passionate night of love making. It had been damn near a religious experience for the both of them, a moment in time neither of them would ever forget.
"Morning. Did you sleep at all last night?" Logan asked as he rolled towards her and kissed her gently.
Max felt him shift so he could turn his lower body towards her along with the rest of him. His exoskeleton allowed him to walk, but without it, he was still very much paralyzed.
Max smiled and reached her hand out to Logan's face, running her index finger from his forehead to the tip of his chin. "Yes, I slept. I slept like it was the last sleep I was ever going to get. I sense I'll be sleeping alot more now I suspect, if you're able to keep that up." She giggled a little as she said that.
"We should probably get out of here soon and get back to Seattle and Terminal City. The war may be over, but we still have people to protect. Besides, now that we have all the time in the world, I'd like to enjoy this at home." Max startled herself a little with that last word. Home. Where was home. She'd spent the past year of her life trying to stay as far from Logan as she could for fear she'd accidently kill him if they touched. Now with the virus gone they were finally together, but home may have been too strong a word to use, seeing as how they didn't actually have a home together.
Logan must have picked up on her thoughts because he shook his head a little and smiled. "Home is right. As soon as we get back and make sure everyone's back safely, we're gonna move you out of terminal city and into my apartment. That is, if you want to."
Max leaned over to Logan and kissed him. Softly at first, then a little more passionately. "Believe me, that is most definately what I want."
With that she hopped out of bed and started looking for her clothes. They'd definately seen better days. She may have had a shower the night before, but they'd have to get back to the city for her to finally feel clean. Max didn't take her eyes off of Logan the entire time it took her to get dressed. She was afraid if she quit looking that it might all vanish.
"When you're done getting dressed can you bring over my exoskeleton?" Logan asked as he pulled himself up in the bed. Normally when he went to bed he left it within reach but he'd been in a hurry last night and it was just out of reach at the end of the bed. He felt kinda stupid for doing that, since it left him basically left him helpless.
That thought actually made him smile even bigger. He sure hadn't seemed very helpless without his exoskeleton last night. With a little help from Max, he's done things he didn't even know where possible anymore. "I love you"
"I love you too, Logan. I always have. I'm just sorry that it took me so long to tell you."
"Forget the past Max, it's over. We're together now, that's what matters. Now hand me that exoskeleton so we can get out of here.
About 3 hours later they were safely back in Seattle, more specifically Terminal City. They were now in Max's room packing up what few things she had there to move to Logan's apartment. They'd been given a standing ovation by a good majority of the residents when Logan pulled his Aztec through the gate. Everyone else had driven straight back last night, except Max and Logan. No one was really worried when they didn't arrive, since it was pretty obvious that they had things that needed to be settled, and for all that the Terminal City residents were their friends, being around them tended to interupt them, even if b accident Now, they were surrounded by their friends. All of the transgenics were talking about the fight the night before. It had gone amazingly well. The leaders of the snake cult were gone, only a few members had survived, and everyone was pretty sure they wouldn't be hearing from them again any time soon. White had met a particularly bad end. Joshua had ripped his head right off his body. They'd left him there to burn with the asylum. A fitting end.
"So, it looks like we're done here. Who's carrying boxes?"
Joshua and Alec raised their hands.
"Well then, lets get this done so we can celebrate."
Max, Logan, and the two other transgenics made their way to the entrance to the tunnel that connected Logan, and now Max's, apartement to Terminal City.
"I kinda feel like I'm abandoning them Logan, moving out of Terminal City. I know I'm still gonna be right here, but it feels like I'm betraying them by moving outside of the fence."
"You're not abandoning them at all. I'll bet pretty soon they'll start moving on. Maybe not some of the stranger looking ones, but I can see most of the X-5s moving out soon enough. Besides, you're only a couple minutes away, especially with the way you guys can move"
Logan leaned in and kissed her. He was so happy he could barely contain himself. Finally, they were together. Now she was moving in with him. He wondered if he'd pushed her to fast, moving her in with him basically on their first date. He shook his head, trying to clear that thought.
"What is it Logan, something wrong?"
"No, for once nothing is wrong. I'm just trying to not over think or over analyze anything. I'm happy, happier than I've ever been in my life. I have almost everything I could ever ask for."
"And what don't you have?"
"I think you know. But we'll talk about that later. Right now, you're going to unpack, then I'm going to cook you our first dinner together in OUR apartment."
