Summary: Max finds someone in the CIA who wants to help her. She's an old family friend of Logan and she also hates what the government did to Manticore and the escapee's. So she helps them by removing the barcodes and fixing their genetic sequencing so that they are normal and Agent White can't find them? What if Logan thought she ran away and he tried to find her but, failed? What if he moved on with Asha? What if, they both never moved on and she wants him back now that her virus has been cured? Will he love her, or will he act like he had moved on and he is in love with Asha?

Chapter 1: Going Home

"So you're sure that if I touch Logan, that he won't die or be hurt?" Max asked Anna at the genetics lab she was running.

"I'm positive, no one will ever know that you are a transgenic unless they know about your past or they followed you down here." Anna said to her.

"So, Logan doesn't know I'm here?" Max asked her questionably.

"No he doesn't, in fact you might want to know this if your going back to Seattle."

"Know what?" Max asked putting on her shirt.

"Logan is engaged to Asha. They are getting married in a week."

"No, No, No." Max yelled. "This cannot be happening. I can't lose him." She said and she left the clinic.

She got on her bike and she left everything behind. She pushed down on the gas pedal and she took off. Sure she left three years ago but, she left because she didn't want to hurt him. Because she didn't want to kill him on accident. She didn't want him to have a brush with death every time she touched him, or brushed up against his arm.

She was in love with him and she didn't want to loose him again. Manticore made sure that she was going to kill him. She even remembered her last words. "Your poison, everything you touch, you kill." Max knew she was right, she almost killed him and she didn't want it to happen again.

So that was six months ago. I guess he finally moved on and found someone new. But, she didn't think that it would be Asha. She didn't think that it would ever happen. Sure they had a chance at happiness before but, it never occurred to her how lonely she was without him.

So here she was leaving on a bike, with one shot to Seattle to get the man that she loved and hoping that he still had some form of love for her. She let the wind hit her face, and she felt it. It was exhilarating and she loved it because it made her feel free and it made her feel some ounce of normalcy.

She looked at the sign that said five hundred miles to Seattle. She knew it would give her time to think. Time to find herself. Time to find out how she was going to approach him. Time to remember their last conversation.

"Max, look you don't have to leave." Logan said to her in his hospital room. He touched her at the bar and he collapsed. He was in a hospital bed, and the only reason that he was alive is because Max was able to give him a blood transfer with Joshua's blood.

"I have to Logan. I can't keep doing this."

"Doing what?"

"Hurting you." She said with tears on her cheeks. He used hid index finger to wipe them away.

"See, nothing. Your not hurting me."

"I might not be now but, Logan just from touching my arm you ended up in the hospital. I can't take that chance."

"Yes you can. I love you. We can get through it."

"I love you too but, I can't risk your life again. It's too risky." She said and he grabbed her arm when she turned to walk away.

"Let me go." She said and he pulled her close to him and he kissed her hard on the lips.

She felt a sting of electricity run up her spine and Logan felt chills go through his back. He loved her, and he didn't want to let her go. She pulled away and Logan fell back into unconsciousness. She felt the tears on her face and she backed away.

Alec came in the room just as she was leaving.

"What happened?" He asked her.

"He wouldn't let me go. He kissed me. He needs blood." She told him.

"All right." He said before the doctor came into the room.

"What happened?" She asked looking directly at Max.

"He kissed me. Alec's going to give you some of his blood to transfer into Logan. I have to leave. Tell him I'm sorry when he wakes up." She said and she left. She got on her bike and she went to L.A. where she knew Anna was and hoping that she could help her.

She flashed out of her memory and she pulled off at an exit. She pulled up at a gas station to rest a little bit but, to her dismay X5-453 was standing at the corner smoking a cigarette.

"Can I not escape you?" Her twin asked her.

"I'm on my way home. To bad you're the one with a kid and smoking. Such a bad role model." Max said to her sister.

"They are in the bathroom, and we are on our way home. By the way you don't have a home anymore do you?" She asked her.

"Not technically because you ruined it."

"How did I ruin it. You left end of story. I didn't catch you before you left."

"Glad you didn't." Max said to her and she showed her twin her neck.

"How did you?"

"Friend in L.A. she helped me. I'm going back now to try and fix the mess that I left."

"Well at least you have guts. But, White thinks I killed you so stay low. I don't want him after me again." Her sister said to her and then she noticed her son and husband walked out of the door.

"Honey, who is she?" Her husband asked her.

"This is my twin sister Max. Max this is my husband and my son." She said to her.

"Nice to meet you both." Max said to them. "Sorry I don't have time to chat but, I have to jet and get back to Seattle." She said and she got on her bike and left. She turned her head to see them but, they were gone.

She once again felt the pain of that night, and she thought about it again. She couldn't believe that she left but she did and now with one hundred miles to go, she was going back to the one place where she felt at home.
