A Max/Alec fic.
...
Disclaimer: still don't own Dark Angel, but apparently I missed an episode in the second season when I watched it the first time, so I got to see an entirely new episode to me ... woo hoo! (it was the one where Max and Alec fight, and she cans him).
...
A/N: So, this is taken from the first episode in season 2, when Max and Alec are made breeding partners. Let's face it, Manticore would not just trust them all to "copulate", they would have them checked for signs of sexual activity ... so this is where this story takes off.
As always, please read and review, I live for feedback.

Max barely had time to get back in her bed before her cell was opened and a male walked in.
It couldn't be. He's ...
"Ben?"
He gives her a strange look. "What?"
Max shook her head, knowing immediately that this is not Ben. "Sorry. You just look like someone I used to know."
"Well, my designation's 494."
"His was 493. You must be twinned," she told him.
"493 ... your fellow traitor. Went psycho," he nods, continuously checking out her room.
"What would you know about it?" she demands icily.
He fixes her with a heavy stare, and she has to stop herself before she squirms.
"I know that because of him I had to spend six months in psy-ops. They wanted to make sure it wasn't genetic. Looks like ten years in the world finally got to him."
Max replied, "It was this place that got to him." For some reason, she feels she needs to explain herself to this man. Her family. Make him understand that they weren't the bad ones. She had no idea why this was so important to her.
He shrugs. "Whatever. Well, let's get this over with, huh?"
She watches him remove his shirt, and her eyebrows immediately perk. Look at his face, not his chest.
"What are you doing?" she asks, taking several steps away from him.
"We've been paired off," he explains. "I'm your breeding partner."
She looks at him, incredulous. "My what?"
Wow, brains, not her strong suit. At least she's hot.
"We're supposed to copulate ever night until you get pregnant," he explained more slowly.
"That's sick!" she exclaims.
He scoffs at her. "Well, it's your own fault. If you and your friends hadn't blown up the DNA database, they'd still be whipping up embryos and putting them into surrogates. Now take off your clothes, would you?"
"Get out of my cell," she tells him, ignoring the fact that his offer, while gross in principle, gave her a warm feeling in her stomach.
"We've got our orders."
He walks close to her, and she raises her foot to kick him back, but he grabs it and spins her around, pulling her back flush against his chest.
"What the hell was that?" he inquires, purring softly into his ear.
"The only kind of physical contact you and I are gonna have," she said, trying to make her voice sound strong.
He chuckles from behind her.
"Well, I kind of disagree with that," he said, the hand holding her left arm moving slowly up to her shoulder.
Holding back a hiss, she pulled away from him, and moved back against the far wall.
"No way am I having sex with you," she said matter-of-factly. "Simple as that."
"You want to spend a week in the hole, fine by me 452," he said, and tapped on the door.
"My name's Max."
He was about to leave when Max called out to him.
"You got a name?" she asked.
He smirked. "My designation's -"
"Yeah, I got that part, I mean an actual name."
He shook his head.
"I think I'll call you Alec," she said. "You know, as in Smart-Aleck."
"I can live with that," he said.
"Good, 'cause my second choice was Dick," she said, causing him to grin.
He's out the door and on his way back to his cell when he stops and turns around.
Peering into her room, he says, "See you around, Max."
...
"Tell me, 452, is it the specimen that you don't approve of, or the act of copulation itself that has you turned off?" Renfro wondered.
Max was silent.
"I see," the older woman replied. "If I'm not mistaken, your mating cycle is coming full circle next week, is it not?"
Max's eyes widened, but again, she kept her mouth shut.
"Well," the blonde taunted. "While the other girls are locked away in solitary next week, I think I'll leave you in your cell. Have 494 call on you then."
Max clenched her jaw and blinked a few times. She wanted to hit the bitch, but she remained where she was.
Renfro smiled. "Yes, I thought you might like that."
