STORY: A hole in the sky.
DISCLAIMER: The characters of dark angel don't belong to me.
SUMMARY: What would happen if the virus that wasn't supposed to affect Max suddenly started to.
Max walked in the entrance of Jam Pony and walked to her locker. She was less than aware that Normal was ranting to her about her tardiness. She leaned against it for a while. She felt tired.
" Hey Max," Alec said, coming next to her.
She looked sheepishly over at him. " Hey."
Usually she'd roll her eyes at him when she first saw him. " You okay?"
Max stood up straight, " Yeah, I'm good." The last think she wanted to so appear weak in front Alec. He had to have a constant fear of her kicking his ass at any given time.
" Okay, then." He left her standing there and went to the dispatch counter. " Hey Normal."
Normal distressed as always handed Alec a package. He took up another one, " Give this to Miss-Late as- Usual."
He took the packages and carried them over to where Max was. He handed her one.
She looked at the package and saw that it was in sector eleven, she wasn't in the mood to go driving all over the city. " What sector is that one in?"
" Eleven," he said observing her sluggish manner. " I'll come with you, they seem to be close by.
************************************************************************ On their return from delivering the package Alec was taking as usual and Max, was peddling her bike silently. He knew she wasn't listening but he thought she would be annoyed at the fact that he was talking so much. Alec never passed up an opportunity to annoy Max.
Max was beginning to feel really drowsy. The only thing keeping her awake was the fact that Alec wouldn't shut his trap. She never thought there would be the day when she would welcome Alec's bragging.
" You should have seen how she jumped at me, I could have sworn she was in heat or something. I had to pull her off." Nothing annoyed Max more than him talking about his achievements in the dating felid. He always thought that she didn't like to hear it because it made her miss dating. She was tied to Logan.
As they walked into Jam Pony, Max, still wasn't talking, she was just so hurry to find a place to sit down. She walked by the dispatch counter and Normal bellowed her name. She stopped with Alec close behind her. " What?"
" Don't 'what' to me missy. You didn't get a signature yesterday." She was silent and she looked sheepishly at him. " I don't know why I pay------."
Normal speech seemed somewhat slurred. She wanted a bed and suddenly felt like one was behind her. She fell backwards.
Alec who was standing close by looked at Max as she was falling. He moved quickly to her and caught her before she hit the ground. " Max," he called. He touched her face with the palm of his hands. " Maxie."
She heard someone calling her form her much needed sleep. She opened her eyes and found herself staring into the worried hazel eyes of Alec. " What are you doing in my bedroom?"
He knew something was wrong with her. " This isn't your bedroom Max."
Max looked around. She noticed she was on the ground and Alec was holding her. There was also a crowd of people surrounding her. " I'm fine," she immediately said. She started to get up but Alec held her down.
" Don't get up, you'll just fall back down."
" Alec, let me go." He did what she said and Max got up and two steps later she fell back down, only this time she knew falling and she knew Alec caught her again.
" Max, just sit for minute." His voice sounded bothered.
OC came to their side. " What's wrong Boo?"
" I'm just a little sleepy."
" I thought you said you didn't need sleep." OC and Alec said together.
Normal pushed his way through the circle of people. " Is she okay?" She wasn't exactly his favorite person but the last thing he wanted was an employee to drop dead in his establishment.
" I'm fine."
Even thought she said she was, Steveie Wonder could see that she wasn't. " I'll the call the ambulance."
" No," Max, Alec and OC said in unison. They all knew what happened the last time Max was in a hospital. There was CDC, there was White, and hole lot crap went down. " She doesn't like hospitals." Alec explained. The other two nodded. " Max, I'll take you home and don't argue with me about this."
She nodded. She did want to go home and the last thing she wanted to do was collapse in the road and have people swarming around her. " Okay."
Alec helped her up and let her transfer her weight to his body. He walked her outside and OC was close behind them.
Alec looked at his options, there was a red ten-seed bike and then there was a blue ten-speed bike. It made no sense. They both couldn't fit on the bike. They'd end up having to walk. His place was closer. " Max, can I take you to my apartment? It's closer."
The way she was feeling she wouldn't mind if he took her White's house, as long as it had a bed. " Yeah."
******************************************************************
Twenty minutes later he rest her down on hid bed. She took off the jacket and pulled up the blanket. " You can go back to work, I'm fine." She didn't need Alec there watching her sleep.
He really didn't want to lave her. He didn't like this new need for sleep but since she wanted him to go he went along with it. " Okay, don't hesitate to call me if you need anything?"
" I won't." ******************************************************************
Alec arrived home from work some time after five. He put his jacket down and went to his bedroom to see if Max was still there. He could see her form from under blankets. He moved closer so he could see her face. She wasn't asleep, she wide-awake. " So how long did you sleep for?"
She didn't answer, her eyes just looked up at him. He observed the way the blanket was brought up to her neck and he could see that she was trembling. He moved the blanket away from her. She had on her jacket. " Are you cold or something?" she nodded. " You're sweating," he pointed out.
Max pulled the blanket up to her and quickly. " I'm still cold."
When someone was cold but sweating that usually meant something bad. He put the back of his hand o her forehead. " You have a temperature," he said. " A very high one."
" Good, it's just a fever."
" Yeah, it's just a fever." He actually was praying it was just a fever. He had a bad feeling about this since X5 didn't get fevers. " Can I get you anything?"
" No, thanks."
" I'll be outside if you need me."
With that he left the room, whishing he could make her feel better in someway.
