Notes from Author: First and most importantly This is dedicated to a fellow ficker and friend of mine, that special someone knows who she is, this is for you! It is set in a completely fantastical Post Pulse Seattle, with most of the characters found in this series. This is what I reckon should have happened before the Last few episodes of Dark Angel (Let's picture this as after the episode where Max finds the temporary cure, and where Alec gets close to banging Asher.)Well any tip, notes, e-mails that you feel like sending my way are more than welcome. I'm not sure if I'm actually up to adding more to this story (But I'm all for democracy, vote!) So let's rock it!
Jam Pony, was jumping there was a funny 'I could care less' mood surrounding everyone (who were mostly directing it toward Normal). Max strolled in heading for her locker and trying to look as if she hadn't noticed Normal's beady 'Where have you been and why are you late?' eyes glaring at her from behind the dispensers counter. Then she swung to face him with a rather annoyed twisted face and gave him a loud-
"Whatcha lookin' at !?"
"Where have you been for the last few days? We were down 6 people!"
"I was brooding, gotta problem?"
"You listen here little missy one of these days that attitude is gonna get you into deep trouble. You're lucky I'm not gonna fire you. Hot delivery fifth and main!"
"OOH! I'M SOOO GREATEFUL!"
She edged towards Normal with an evil psychotic stare in her eyes Original Cindy Skid behind Max after she noticed people stopping to watch as Max was moving with a slow creepy walk and began to speak in a hushed tone.
"You know what Normal, I really want to-"
OC grabbed her by the arms and attempted to move her aside but Max was putting up a fight.
"Normal, I think Max needs a personal day...no maybe a week or two."
Max was bobbing up and down angrily in OC's grip making her seem as though she was at sea. She was also trying to get to Normal, words such as disembowelment, ripping, tearing, and severely maiming could be faintly heard over OC's very loud voice tone trying to muffle out Max's threats. Normal had his blank look on.
"She can take a personal day."
OC's looked relieved and a bit astounded at Normal's decision.
"Thanks, Norm-"
"When she delivers all he packages, and I die of shock."
OC wasn't pleased, just then golden boy waltzed in looking very chuffed. He shoved between Normal and OC.
"Morning Normal."
"Hey there Champ! This is what you all should aspire to be "
"Oh, Gosh no, you're making me blush. Normal you see today I can't stay."
"Ah, aren't you feeling well?"
Normal looked him up and down (you have no Idea how much this look questioned his sexual status, that and his tongue practically wiping the floor till it was spotless).
"Well not exactly I have a very important, ah... I supposed you would call it meeting."
"Take the day off or however long you need."
"Thanks Norm."
With this Alec smacked Normal's upper arm, Max stopped jumping and instead stood watching Alec leave with a very disgusted look on her face. OC escorted her away from the desk and sat her down.
"What's eatin' you Boo?"
"Nah, it's just this thing with Logan. I feel like it's never gonna work and the universe is trying to tell me to just give up or suffer."
"Listen the way I see it is tha-"
Just then a messenger who look significantly pissed off came banging in tossing what looked like two halves of a bike. He walked in totally and picked up one half and strode over to Normal holding it at his heads length. Normal backed away slightly thinking that having a bike wheel and handle bar lodged would be a tad awkward (just a tad)
"Who's that?"
Max asked with a naughty smirk on her face, thinking that Normal was gonna get what was coming to him and this person was some what familiar with his dark mysterious eyes piercing Normal with some hectic daggers.
"Do you know what happened to me half way to my delivery. I just rode past Sector six and this bike splits in the middle of the sodding road. AND I LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC! BESIDES THAT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAR SECTOR 7 IS FROM HERE?"
By now he was very heated and panting hectically, he jumped the counter and moved close to normal, Max ran to get a look at this.
"Two screamings in one day, how much more of this can Normal take?"
OC's said with a very amused look on her face. Max seemed impressed as this guy hovered significantly above Normal as he was quiet a bit taller. Everything went quiet for about 10sec then he just threw the 'bike' on the floor and left out the back, Normal slid down the wall holding his chest.
"AND I'M TAKING A PERSONAL DAY!"
Normal just sat there and mumbled something that resembled a 'yeah' as this mysterious guy made for his locker the crowd split like the Red Sea, nobody wanting to get into his way. Sketchy jogged up to him very approvingly.
"Hey, Blu nice show man."
He tapped him on the shoulder, Blu gave him a bit of a death stare. So Sketch turned on his heel and left, Max approached and leaned on her locker that was next to his.
"Trust, me Sketch you don't wanna mess with me right now."
With that he shut his door and turned to face Max.
"You are definitely not Sketchy."
"I think you gave Normal a minor Heart attack."
"That's a pity."
"Don't tell me you feel sorry for him?"
"Hell no, it's just sad that it wasn't worse."
Smiles and a better mood were in order at this point.
"I'm Max, Normal's first screaming."
"I'm Blu. And I guess that makes me Normal's second screaming, what was yours about?"
"Letting off steam I guess."
"Do you need a day off cause I 'm on a serious roll?"
"Nah, but thanks for asking how are you feeling after you run in with traffic?"
"I've had worse but I could use a beer."
"Well this evening OC and I are gonna be at Crash if you drop by."
"Ok, I'll spot you."
And with that Max was off feeling rather smug she wasn't sure why,, but she still had a nagging feeling that she had met him before.
Later that evening Blu entered the bar and found himself a seat next to...wait drum roll...Bam! Alec, who was looking very content, began talking to Blu.
"Hey, don't you work at Jam Pony?"
"Yeah."
"I'm Alec.'
"Blu."
"So you waiting for someone? Or just here to kill time?"
"Meeting someone."
"Do I know'em?"
"Yeah, probably ah... Max, brown hair, nice brown eyes I think she-"
"Yeah, yeah I know Max."
Alec gave a little chuckle and took a deep sip of his drink then swerved back on his bar stool to face Blu.
"You know I just realised something, you look strangely familiar. Have we met before this or work, I mean I never forget a fac-"
Just then Max walked in, her eyes wondering over every table and then reaching the bar. She approached smiling slightly trying not to look desperate, and then she saw Alec and twisted her expression. Alec and Blu turned her way, Alec grinning arrogantly (noting unusual about that) and Blu checking her out with a very impressed look on his face.
"Hey you!"
"Hey Max how are you doing long time no sewer trudging, how's Logan, my old buddy, old pal?"
Alec intercepted Max's greeting and brought on the painful subject of Logan, hoping that Blu would split. He was just getting Max back for her interrupting his little evening with Asher, he had the whole sweet and caring thing going on when Asher fell asleep (he was hoping that the next morning she would think he was sensitive and decide to bring out his inner Alec), then Max bursts in and drags him on yet another sewer quest. Max gave him a look that swore he was going to pay for that, but surprisingly Blu didn't seem curious by who on Earth Logan was and what his relationship with Max was.
"Well, Alec if you must know...I don't know how Logan is."
"That's a shame."
"Life goes on. So came, you wanna get a table?"
"Yeah, sure."
They left Alec alone and headed for the back room. Blu dipped his head towards Max as they walked and rather subtly asked.
"So, should I care about who Logan is?
"Just some guy, it doesn't matter honestly. OC will be here soon, in the mean time wanna shoot some pool?"
"Sure it's my favourite...I guess."
Halfway through what seemed to be a highly satisfying game of pool, some one arrived.
"Excuse me but, which one of you is Max?"
"Who wants to know?"
"Oh, the bar tender told me that's who I should ask, I'm looking for Alec."
"Oh, in that case I'm Max...I guess, why are you looking for Alec?"
"Well we were supposed to meet here earlier but I got side tracked, and couldn't reach him on his phone. By the way I'm Megan."
"I'm Blu."
"Well I don't know if you would find him here now but check and if you don't find him, I would personally recommend not trying in the first place but if you really want him check his apartment. You do know where he lives?"
'Oh, yes it wads the first thing he gave me, along with his number. Thanks, bye."
Max and Blu were just about to return to their game when a very special some one walked in a very 'I rule the World' kind of way.
"Logan what are you doing here?"
'I came to see you."
"Oh."
"Hi I'm Blu."
"I'm Logan."
The three of them then resorted to a very awkward silence; Max felt strange having Logan around now just wasn't the same anymore. She felt nothing when she saw him usually there were butterflies and roller coaster emotions you know the drill. Had she gotten over him I mean she was in the presence of a very tall dark and handsome guy that she could touch, and who seemed to like her and didn't waste any time keeping that fact hidden. This was it the breaking moment you could say.
"So did you have any thing specific to speak to me about, coz we were playing pool and I'd like to get back to that."
She gave Logan a look that he only saw her give some one that was annoying her.
"Can I talk to you, please in private."
He said as dipped over the pool table to make her shot, the urgency in his voice didn't seem to worry her. Max made her shot and turned to him.
"Spill it!"
'Alone, please!"
"Nah! I'm out with some one right now, we are on sort of a date right?"
She turned to ask Blu who was rather content given the situation. He gave her a very enthusiastic nod followed by a heart-melting smile.
"So if you don't want to tell me here and now could you move over for my friend over there to make his shot?"
She sounded almost arrogant, Logan a tad disappointed just left. Max turned to Blu and laughed.
"Wow that felt a brilliant, like some thing I've wanted to do for a long time, even though I haven't.'
"Well I'm glad you're happy, after this do you want to go for a bite to eat? I'd take you there but I don't know how you feel about hanging on to the back of my bike, if you don't want to come I won't hold it against you."
"If you don't mind I'd rather not ride with you."
"Oh, well-"
"I have my own bike."
And they were off, leaving their rather interrupted pool game behind."
Back At Alec's place there was a knock at the door, he answered.
"Oh! It's you."
"Can I come in?"
'Sure."
The door closed behind her.
Well that's it, and once again a mention of the person who this is dedicated to and thanks must go to her for inspiring me. If I do write more, by all means tune in to see what's up with the rather vague Megan. What does happen to Blu and Max, why is this guy so familiar?
All Might Be revealed....
Abientot!
