Come with me

Max, Zack and Logan are in Logans penthouse. Logan is at his computer while Zack and Max are talking over by the window.

"So why wasn't I given this contact number?" Max asked

"You know why" Zack reminds her.

"Because I haven't been a good little soldier and followed orders" Max guessed

"Something like that" Zack replied, Max started to watch the rain fall down the window.

"Your too reckless Max, I couldn't risk giving it to you, what if you got caught and Lydecker had gotten it out of you" Zack said looking right into Max's deep brown eyes.

""Oh I get it, I'm to much of a liability to be trusted is that it" Max retorted and Zack could see he had hurt her.

"If you wanna get on board with the way I do things it's not to late. First step though is leaving Seattle" Zack watched Max closely as she stares out the window and thinks about what he has said. Max doesn't respond.

"I didn't think so" Zack added as he turned to walk away.

"Okay" Max muttered

Zack spun around hoping Max would go with him. "You'll leave?" Zack checked

"Yes..No, oh I don't know" Max answered looking into Zacks green eyes.

"Max" Zack softly called her name as he walked towards her.

"I have to go think about this… Don't follow me" Max commanded as she passed Zack and headed out the door.

"Max…Max" Logan called to her but she didn't reply nor look back.

Logan looked at Zack but couldn't reveal what they had just been talking about. So he turned back to his computer screen.

Max took off in direction of the Space Needle, she stood on top of the space needle, without her jacket as she had left it at logans, in the pouring down rain thinking about what she should do.

"Where's Max going?" Zack asked Logan

"I don't know" He lied trying to hide the fact that he had been ears dropping on part of their conversation.

Zack reached over and pushed the switch on the wall, which shut down the computer. Logan cursed as he hadn't saved the work he had been working on.

"Why did you do that?" he asked looking up at the X5.

"For lying. Now where is Max?" Zack growled

"Look she said not to follow her so if I was you I wouldn't! Logan said as he got to his feet.

"I'm not like you and I won't loose her to an ordinary" Zack stated before in one fast motion he extended his arm to clench Logans throat. Logan held his hand over Zack trying to pry them off.

"She said she was going to think where?" Zack snapped.

"The…The space needle, Max will be on top of the space needle" Logan answered then Zack loosened his grip and Logan fell to the ground.

"She won't leave Seattle, Zack" Logan called to him but Zack blurred out of the large penthouse. Mounted Maxs ninja as she had ran to the space needle and followed after her.

Slowly Max walked in the space needle window and out of the rain. She strolled over to where she had secretly hidden a keyboard. She pulled off the thin material covering it and took a seat on the wooden stool next to it.

Zack sneaked in and hide among the shadows. Max was totally unaware of his presence. Max started to play the tune to Unfaithful by Rhianna and quietly sang along.

"Story of my life,

Searching for the right,

But it keeps avoiding me,

Sorrow in my soul,

Cause it seems wrong,

Really likes my company"

"He's more than a man,

An this is more than love,

The reason this guy is blue,

The clouds are rolling in cause,

I'm gone again,

It just can't be true"

"An I know he knows I'm unfaithful,

an it kills him inside,

to know that I'm happy with some other guy,

I can see him dying"

"I don't wanna do this anymore,

I don't wanna be the reason why,

Everytime I walk out the door,

See him dying a little more inside"

"I don't wanna hurt him anymore,

I don't wanna take away his life,

I don't wanna be a murder,"

"I don't wanna do this anymore,

I don't wanna be the reason why"

Suddenly Max could hear someone clapping their hands, Her head spun around to settle on a spot near the window which was covered in shadows.

"Who's there?" Max commanded an answer.

"Your good Maxie" Zack commented as he stepped out of the shadows and into the light.

"thanks" Max stated

"What are you doing away up here?" Zack asked.

"I come up here sometimes to think and clear my mind" Max answered softly as she walked towards the window near Zack.

"There must be something in our DNA cause we all seem to enjoy thinking up in high places" Zack stated as he stood behind Max leaning his arm on the same wall Max was leaning against.

"Yeah or it could be a feline thing" Max commented smiling as she looked up at him then back out the window to watch the rain fall.

"So who were you singing about in that meaningful song?" Zack asked

"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet" Max answered smiling slightly.

"I have a hunch" Zack stated looking down at her, Max turned so her back was leaning against the wall and she was looking up at him.

"And what would that be?" Max asked curious to know. Max waited for a few minutes for an answer from Zack, their eyes locked.

"That Logan has the hots for you, he could have possibly asked you out but you said no, he took it really bad. The he found out you like someone else and you hate to see Logan get hurt, knowing he see's you nearly every day but can't have you" Zack guessed

"You've practically summed up this whole dealio" Max commented looking out the shattered window.

"Max… who is this person you like?" Zack softly and quietly asked

"A friend, who I think just wants to be friends" Max answered Zack could sense she was hiding something as she tensed up.

"Really?" Zack checked

"Yes" Max answered after a few seconds, then her gaze fell to the ground.

"Max… Is it me?" Zack asked ever so softly only a transgenic would be able to hear him ask.

Zack began to regret asking Max as she didn't answer him for a while then she muttered "Yes" looking up at him. Zack smiled at Max who returned the smile. Then Zack began to close the space between them, he lowered his lips until they met with Maxs. Then they met for a passionate kiss and Zack smiled as he felt Max relax.

"I love you" Zack informed her when they broke apart.

"How did you know? Since when?" Max asked smiling.

"I've loved you ever since we were kids and Logan kinda let it slip" Zack answered.

"Logan?" Max was surprised

"Yeah, I kinda said something and he clicked on that I liked you then he went all mr protective and told me not to come find you, he said you wouldn't leave Seattle cause he's here" Zack stated

Max eyes started to water at the thought of leaving Seattle. " Zack I don't..I want..erm" Max striggled to get the words out.

Zack pulled her into a hug and she let out a sigh before hugging him back. They stood there for five minutes.

"Come with me" Zack asked breaking the silence.

"Sure" Max replied looking up at him.

"You look cute when your wet" Zack informed her before his lips gently brushed over hers. Zack tangled his arms around Maxs waist while she rested hers around his neck and fiddled with his hair before brushing his bar code with her hand.

"Max that tickles" Zack told her smiling and Max let out a little laugh.

"Before we go I need to say goodbye to Cindy" Max said

"No problem… lets go" Zack replied as his fingers entwined with Maxs and Max smiled up at him.
