Chapter 1 Some Protection in Hand.
~*~~*~~*~~*~
Joshua's house early morning:
Logan puts the bottle of bleach on to the table and picks up a box of surgical gloves.
I hate wearing gloves but Beverly gave them to me...

Flashback Dr Shankar's office
"Here, Logan, take these gloves. They might come in handy one day."
"What, are you expecting me to become a doctor after all the times I've been in and out of this place?"
"No, Logan, you don't have the patients."
Both laugh at the joke.
"But if you ever need them...you'll know when, they could come in handy."
Logan smiles.
"Take care, Logan....don't be hard on Max, she's scared. If your friend Joshua hadn't come through we would have lost you."
"Yeah. I'm feeling great now...I never blamed Max for this virus, you know. See you soon."
"I hope not."
»»»»
Well Beverly things are different now. It's over between Max and me now...She has Alec, so I guess your present will never be used. I still miss her and love her though.
Well, better check over the exoskeleton, make sure everything is working. Never know when it might come in handy again to smash wood. Wish I could tell Max I can walk, but that would sound like I am trying to compete with Alec.
It's funny, when I thought Eric was Max's boyfriend I was jealous, glad when she said they were never together. Of course she had to notice.

Flashback Logan's Apartment Twenty months before:
"There's no reason for you get jealous."
"Of course there isn't. You and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Right. Thanks for this."
»»»»
When you said that 'Right,' Max and I saw the look on your face, I was puzzled. Could somebody like you love me. I was still wrapped up in the fact that I was in a wheelchair - how could you want a relationship with me? Now, I wonder if you ever did. Then I was pushing you away. I'm jealous again and it hurts just as much knowing you are with somebody else. This time, I let you go, but it doesn't lessen the feeling.
Your suggestion that I go up the Space Needle with you - I thought you were only joking, but we made it that once together and then I lost you. Well, you cured me of that phobia - all those nights when you were gone, I sat up there, remembering the times we had together and the opportunities we missed. Another one of my secrets. Wish you were here so I could tell you about it and that I can walk...despite what you think, this virus did some good this time.

Max on her motor bike heading towards Joshua's:
Well, Logan, here I am, wanting to see you...needing your help again. I remember telling Hannah there was someone here who needed me.
»»»»
Flashback to slum alley somewhere in Seattle:
"Thank you. What about you? It's not safe for you here, either."
"I can take care of myself. Plus, there is someone around here who needs me. Good luck."
»»»»
Funny thing, every time I've tried to leave I've justified staying around by thinking you needed me. But it's me who's needed you most of the time. First trying to steal the statue of Bast for money to pay Vogelsang, helping with my family, all the times I had seizures. How can I forget the Reds? The number of times you saved me from Lydecker? Even that time with Hannah. Eric told me you scored him the boat - but I figure you screwed their radios as well. Even when I thought I had driven you away - you came back for me, when White and the CDC were on my case you came and pulled me out. I was so glad to see you that day in the hospital – my husband...what were you trying to say? Even after you're thinking I don't need you anymore you turn up and help get me away from Sam and White. Now I need you again for these runes, you are probably the only one who can figure this out. I can take care of myself when kicking butt but without you it would have been a lot harder.
~~~~~~~~
Joshua's House:
Logan has just finished putting on the exoskeleton. He senses someone else in the room. Turning, he sees Max standing in the doorway with a puzzled expression on her face looking at his legs.
"Hey, you."
"Hey."
"Thought you didn't want to be near me?"
"Logan--"
"Forget I said that Max...It's great to see you here."
"Yeah, well I need your help and I figured it would be better to do it in person. Have you got any gloves?"
"As a matter of fact I do...a whole box of them courtesy of Dr Shankar."
"Whatever...because I have some new runes coming out on my back...thought...if you actually saw them it might make more sense."
"Maybe...grab a seat and we will get started."
Logan pulls on one pair of gloves and tapes them to his sleeves then pulls on another pair.
"Basic CDC procedure."
"Yeah, to protect you against your biohazard girlfriend...I didn't mean that."
"It's okay."
~~~~~~~
Joshua's House: Max has just left. Logan looking at his gloved hands.
Well, Beverly, you were right, they did come in handy and at the right time.
I was finally able to touch Max after all these months, and despite the awkwardness we both felt, the spark between us was still there, even through the gloves. She actually let me touch her and hold her hand - tried taking her arm as I walked past but she managed to pull away pulling up her shirt. The look in her eyes - those eyes that suck me into their depths so I can't let go - the want there. I hope she saw the same thing in mine. Did it not work out between her an Alec? The comment about being my biohazard girlfriend made me smile...it gave me hope. As I held her hand it was if she was about to say something then she did her typical Max duck and cover and left. Yeah if you had X-ray vision, you would have seen my spine is better, I wanted to tell you, Max but you and I are not ready yet...Still, having you here, touching your hair, your back, holding your hand, looking into your dark angel eyes, it's a start. To hell with Alec!
Well with these new runes we might be closer to the answer...maybe even something in there to cure this virus. Thanks to Beverly now I can literally have you and your back.
Smiling Logan strips off the gloves and undresses to take off the exoskeleton.
~~~~~~~~
Max on her bike after leaving Logan:
He must have been testing the exoskeleton because OC said he didn't need it much now. Here I am trying to keep you safe by telling you I'm with Alec and hurting you, then I go and say something about being your biohazard girlfriend - so lame - how I wish it true without the biohazard thingy. He said it was okay when I said I didn't mean it, but it's not okay, I meant it...thing is, I think he believes I meant it too.
God, given the givens Logan looked so hot. I miss him so no regrets going to see him but if I had let him hold my hand one second longer I'd have told him the truth. He must suspect something is wrong – I could see it in his eyes behind those sexy glasses – he still loves me. He's just waiting for me to admit what I feel for him. I can't, Logan. I have to keep you safe and this is the only way I know how. Now I know what you meant when you said, "I'm not sure anyone really gets over their first love." Not even my family can replace you in my heart.
A/N: Stick with me there is more.
