Summary: AU. This is an attempt at Arwendale's challenge: Max vs. Rachel. M/A

A/N: I liked this challenge so much, I just couldn't resist.

Dedication: To Toleda (aka MsJada) for having someone to talk to about Tupac. West sidddde!

This is the challenge:

OK we get to have a little fun shuffling events and time around in this one:

Max did not escape in 2009; instead she grows up in Gillette and is transferred to Seattle base - where Alec is. She sees first hand his charm, and what the frequent visits to Psych do to him - not to mention his excellent soldiering.

Manticore has special plans for the pair - they train together, go on a few missions together, are breeding partners (breeding program is more exclusive since she never burned DNA banks) etc...

They have feelings for each other, but impaired understanding and don't know exactly what they've got.

Max eventually becomes pregnant and they talk about escaping just when Alec is sent out on the Berrisford project and meets Rachel.
What is their special purpose?

Will Alec fall for Rachel again?

Will he leave Max and his child behind at Manticore?

CHAPTER 1 ( MEETING ALEC

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ MAX POV - 0400 hours

Today I'm being transferred to the Seattle base. I don't know much about it except it's a lot newer than this one. Everyone that was transferred from Seattle to Gillette say it's much bigger there, too. Whatever, I just have a strange feeling at the pit of my stomach. It's not necessarily a bad feeling, just a feeling.

I sense a tear come to my eye as I think about leaving behind all of my brothers and sisters. Usually they send a few of us at a time at a time. I was first out of my unit of course, but they'll probably going to be transferred too. They sent me way early so I can make it there in the morning, but I can't sleep anyway so I really don't care.

I see the van coming to pick me up, I guess I better go.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

MAX POV - 0730

I enter the building slowly. Trying to capture every little detail. It does look newer, but it's still Manticore so I can't expect anything other then what I've been doing for the last 20 years.

A short, bald man approaches me. I've heard about him from Lydecker. He's Sandoval. I immediately stand in soldier mode.

"X5-452." He exclaims.

"Sir!" I answer twice a loud.

"Welcome. I trust Colonel Lydecker has shown you the map of our base " He smiles.

"Yes, sir." I respond.

"Colonel has told me what an excellent soldier you are. We have very high expectations for you." He says with a smile.

"Follow." He turns around and begins walking through the narrow hallway, as I follow him. We stop at a metal door, Sandoval then pushes some buttons on the side remote, and the door opens.

We step in the shiny room, and something captures my eyes. A male, he looks just like my brother Ben, but I can't help and think that he's cute.

He's leaning on the wall, and there is an obvious grin is on his face. That is the only difference between him and Ben I realized. That sexy grin. I shake the thoughts out of my head.

"494. You are to show 452 around the building for the next week." Sandoval informs him.

"Yes sir." He finally answers still leaning against the wall.

"Your Cell number is A538. 494 Show her where it is." Sandoval nodded to 494 and left.

Max stared at 494. She had that same feeling in her stomach that she had felt earlier. He caught her starring at him and laughed.

"Come on are you just going to stand there, and look at me all day."

"I wasn't looking at you!" she exclaimed raising her voice more than she really meant.

"If I were you I wouldn't be talking to me like that, after all I'm your CO." he smiled.

"You're my CO?" she asked, inside she was screaming 'Yes!!'

494 cleared his throat. "I believe I'm supposed to show you to your barrack." He said in a British accent, and she laughed.

"I'm Max." she said innocently.

"I'm Alec." He replied while cocking his head a little to the side.

~*~*~*~*~

They walked through a series of hallways, 'What is this some sort of maze?' Max thought.

Finally they walked into a hallway labeled 'A', Max knew that stood for alpha. There were many barracks distanced from each other. They walked to a barrack that said on the side '538', Alec took a ring of keys out of his pocket and unlocked the barrack.

Max stood there with her eyes wide open, "You have the keys to all the rooms?" she asked.

"No, not all. Just a few." He smiled. 'There's that smile again.' Max thought.

She walked in, there was clothes on the bed and some other supplies.

"Get ready, I'll meet you in training." He left.

Max sighed and looked around. Not much to see.
