Well here is the sequel to 'Don't Die'. Started writing it as soon as a load of people asked for one. Hope that this is good enough. Alec wumping XD. Enjoy.

Complications

Max let her fingers run gently over the faint scars on Alec's bare torso. Her brow knitted together in a frown.

"Max that tickles." Said Alec as he looked at her, her face didn't change "You know if the wind changes, you'll stay that way."

"Huh?" said Max as she suddenly snapped back into reality.

"What's the matter?" said Alec as his pulled Max into a tighter hug.

"Nothing," she replied as she laid her head on his chest and listened to his heart.

"Yeah, its still there." He paused "Seriously Max. What's up?"

"It's just… White is still alive and he has made it his personal task to kill us both."

"Yeah, tell me something I don't know."

"But how did White get out when Logan and his men rampaged the place?"

"I'm thinking White left before Logan got there. He does have a habit of leaving before the real trouble starts."

"I don't know." She said as she moved her head to look into her lover's eyes.

"I love you, you know that don't you?" said Max as she placed a gentle hand on Alec's face.

"Yeah, you're scaring me Max."

She brought her lips to his; all the reassurance he needed was in that one kiss.

"Don't be scared." She whispered in his ear, causing Alec to shiver.

A small smile danced on Max's lips as her lips trailed along his face finding his lips again.

They sat in the war room of TC, a blue print laid out in front of them.

"We should enter and exit here, there is an old stair case here. We should be able to make it to the meds we need unnoticed." Said Alec as he looked up at Max, her head nodding in agreement.

"Ok, but if we do get spotted we need another easy exit." She said, as she looked him in the eyes.

"It is only a ten foot jump from the window to the ground. No problem for us X-5's." he said as he winked at her. A smile escaped onto Max's lips as she rolled up the blue prints and picked up her pack.

They slipped out of there home without the army noticing. They wheeled their bikes with them and mounted them as soon as they were out of earshot. The ride to the hospital took no time at all. They went round the back and found the entrance to the abandoned staircase. With some coaxing the door swung open to reveal a dusty, ramshackle stairwell. There was a thick layer of dusk upon the paint flaked steps. The air was stale, and caused Alec and Max to wrinkle their noses at the unpleasant odour. They made their way up the stairs to the floor they needed. Luckily for them the levels were labelled in big letters.

The store cupboard was not far from the stairs. Alec used his lock picking skills to get into the medicine cupboard. Max searched the shelves for tryptophan, whilst Alec stood watch.

That's when his body began to betray him. His hands began to shake and it soon spread through his legs until his whole body fell to the ground and began to convulse violently.

"ALEC!" said Max as she ran to his side "Take these." She said as she slipped two pills into his mouth.

He swallowed weakly. Max sat and waited for the seizure stop. When it showed no signs of stopping she began to worry.

"Alec, Alec baby look at me." His eyes rolled into the back of his head as the seizure began to peak. He let out a scream as the pain ripped through his body.

Max had never seen Alec have a seizure before. This wasn't right. Then all of a sudden the seizure stopped and Alec lay still. His chest heaving as he struggled to draw a breath. He cracked open his eyes and looked at Max. Tears rolling down his cheek.

Max pulled him up, his arm slung limply over her shoulder as she picked up the bag and made her way back to the staircase. Everything had gone right except for the seizure part. She new she had to get Alec down the stairs.

She pulled out her cell phone, she was glad now that Alec had convinced her to get it.

"Logan it's me." She said as she made it into the dark, dank stairway again. Shutting the door behind her she knew that they would be fine to get out. Or she was anyway.

"Hey Max, what's up?" said Logan.

"I need your help. Alec had a big time-o seizure and the tryptophan doesn't seem to be working."

"Where are you?" he asked, worry in his voice.

"The hospital outside TC." She paused "Logan hurry, Alec's barely conscious." She said as she noticed Alec's lids droop.

"I'll be there in five minutes." Said Logan as he disconnected the phone.

Max hadn't noticed they had been going down the stairs till she noticed that they were at the bottom. She made her way outside, the cold felt like needles prickling her skin. She paid no heed as she gently lowered Alec to the ground, his body beginning to shake again.

"Come on, Hold on a little longer." She said as she stroked his dark blonde hair "Logan will be here soon."

Logan pulled up into the ally were Alec and Max were. He could see Max knelt next to what looked like Alec. As soon as he stopped he noticed that Alec seemed to be convulsing on the ground. Max's hands were over her ears and she was rocking back and forth.

He got out of his car and made his way to the two X-5 sides as fast as his exo-skeleton would take him. He now knew why Max was covering her ears. Alec was screaming in agony as the seizure raged.

"Max," said Logan as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Max leapt up with utter despair in her eyes. Logan wanted to just pull into her into a hug and comfort her. Damn that stupid virus.

Logan didn't say a word. He just picked up the now still Alec and carried the surprisingly light X-5 to the car. Not knowing what he was going to do once they got 494 back to his new apartment.
