Yeah, I really do own nothing. What a pity. But, „Thats the hard knock life." Lol
To the reviewers: Thank you so much. I never thought that I would get so many reviews. Love ya, guys!
Jo Harvelle: Yes, I really am a Max/Alec Fan, but I´m not sure yet, if this story is just a demonstration of their friendship or more…we´ll see.
Alec to the max: You´re right. Because of that I´m writing this story.
Max woke up and didn´t knew at first where she was. She felt kind of dizzy so she just let her eyes shut. Everything around her smelt so unfamiliar, so sterile. Finally she opened her eyes and found herself in a quite, almost empty room…a hospital room, she noticed. Suddenly everything came back to her. She lifted the shirt of the hospital clothing she was wearing and saw a huge bandage arround her gut. Max realized that the wound was still bleeding, when she saw that the bandage allready was soaked through with her own blood. Normally her genetical enhanced powers geared up her healing, so Max knew that this time she would need a few days before she could again threw herself into the fireline. She groaned a bit when she left the bed to look at her files. The wound hurt like a bitch. Max studied the files and realised that the medics had taken a blood sample. That means she had to get out, before they knew that she was not like any other of their patients. In that moment a nurse entered the room. „Oh, Miss Garzia…you should not be out of bed. You´ve been through a difficult operation just a few hours ago. By the way, you´re step brother is here to visit you. Would it be okay for you, if I send him in?" Max looked for a second kind of confused. Who would pretend to be her step brother? She already had given up the hope that Logan would come and help her out of her misery. But the nurse had called her Miss Garzia…that means the visitor had given her a new identity, which means he didn´t want her to be detected as a transgenic, which in turn means he knew about her secret and could help her to find a way out. Because in her current state she doubted that she would make it alone. Finally Max nodded and the sister sent her a small smile and left the room. Just a few seconds later- Max still stood next to her bed, still wondering who would visit her- he entered the room…
„Hey Lola!" Alec stood in front of her with his usual grin on his face. „Hey yourself" was everything Max could respond. She would have thought about anyone, but Alec to visit her. Alec just stood there arms crossed and looked at her with…yeah, Max wouldn´t belive it either, but his eyes showed concern and sympathy. „So, you´ve got shot again. Girl, that´s the second time in this year…you should be more careful." Max forced a smile. „Thanks for the advice. Next time I just let a small kid die, because I already reached my maximum on my being-shot-card." Alec´s grin grew bigger. „It´s good to know that the bloodloss didn´t influence your special kind of cynisism." Max was suddenly alarmed. „My blood. Alec, they did a blood sample…I´ve got to get out of here before they find out that my blood is not like they had expected it to be." Alec looked at her in disbelive. „Do you really think you can make it out in your condition? Transgenic or not…you just got shot in your gut." „Thanks for the reminder smart-ass. I almost forgot that I got a big hole in my stomach that hurts like hell. And, yes. I think I can make it outside, but not without your help." The last thing was very hard for Max to admit. Especially in front of Alec, in which presence she always played the hard chick who had no weaknesses and didn´t need anyone. But now she needed his help to get out of this damn hospital.
Yeah, I know. My chapters are pretty short, but so I try to keep the quality. You know. Quality is better than quantity. ;-) Best wishes. Lily
PS.: I really like to get more of these great reviews.
