Max looks at Nikki
"What are you giggling about?"
Logan suddenly senses something and puts his hand out to silence Nikki then uses his enhanced sight to scan the rooftops out the window. He sighs to Max
"We have company."
Nikki crosses her eyes, looking at Logan's hand then points outside at a rooftop.
"Someone's present."
"Nikki go to your room. Now!" Logan whispered
Nikki ran to her room only to go straight to the window, looking around.
"Who is it babe?" Ask Max as she came up beside him
"Manticore soldiers…" Logan said scanning the streets with vision "NIKKI stay away from the windows. Just hide!" He yelled
Nikki froze then hid in the smallest place possible. Max makes sure Nikki hides then she looks at Logan.
"Let's go."
Logan looks back at her "We'll have to work our way up and take out as many as we can, they're dropping from helicopters, we have to think of a way to take the copters out, then deal with Manticore. Nikki, stay where you are don't move, you'll be safe there, we promise."
"Please be careful." Nikki said, nodding
"We will."
They head to the staircase up to the roof where several men flooding in, Logan grabs Max by the waist and jumps high onto the last set of stairs, flips two of them over the railing and takes their guns, handing Max one, then runs out onto the roof, immediately taking cover.
Nikki closed her eyes, a bit scared and worried.
Max helps Logan take them out then looks at the gun for a moment then takes it anyway "I don't do guns..." goes to the other side
"We need some way to take out those choppers Maxie" Logan said then he runs at three guys on the roof and takes them out in seconds, then fires at the first chopper.
Max watches then starts shooting at the chopper "we need to hit the motor and the blades" keep shooting as the chopper moves
Nikki shakes her head and runs to the window, only her eyes would be able to be seen. She looked around at everything going on.
Logan fires too at the blades jamming them
Max fires at the other two blades then she works on shooting to the motor. After 4 tries, she hits it causing it to crash into a building.
"Nice babe" Logan winked as they proceed to do the same with the other, causing it to blow and crash to the ground.
Nikki continued watching
They get the other one down. Max looks over at him "thanks" she winks back "now kicking ass I don't have a problem with."
He smirked and kissed her
Max kisses him back deeply "let's go" she smirks
Nikki got super bored and forgot about everything. She ran down to the door and opened it.
They headed back and bumped into Nikki "i thought we told you to stay hidden"
"It got boring." She looked at him. "I can't sit still hiding forever."
Max smiles "She's just like her mommy" walks into the kitchen "I don't know what about you two but I'm starving."
Nikki shrugged. "A bit."
"I'm starving too."
Max smiles "think you can whip up one of your culinary miracles?"
"Ah sure, a Cale culinary delight coming right up" walks into the kitchen and sets the oven, then prepares his famous chicken recipe "Niks, help your mom set the table."
Nikki nods and goes to start setting the table.
Max giggles then set the table "I give you a back massage after dinner." She winks
"Mm sounds nice, looking forward to it" pours two glasses of wine and hands her one, drinks from his own.
Nikki had this gross look on her face.
Max smiles as she takes the glass "to us" then she takes a drink
"Yes to us" Logan said clicking their glasses together
Nikki continued setting the table
Max smiles then helps setting the table, purposely bending over slightly
Nikki shook her head a bit; when she was done she went to the couch and started watching TV.
Logan chuckles at the sight and checked the chicken had started to cook, then makes a drink for Nikki and handing it to her.
Nikki takes it with a small smile.
Max's face reddens at a thought then shakes her head
Nikki stared at the TV.
Logan headed back to the kitchen to prepare the Cale family special dessert.
Max was leaning against the counter, sipping her wine.
Logan takes out the chicken and finishes the dessert, and takes them over to the table and plates up "dinner is served ladies" takes wine and sits at table
Nikki walks over to the table and sits down.
Max smiles "at least you didn't forget to turn the oven on" laughs then goes and sits down
Logan chuckles "True."
"I think you were right about freedom." Max said, eating.
"Really?"
"Yes. No matter what or how far I run, I can never get away from them. Never" Max sighs then sips her wine
Nikki continued eating then blocked all surrounding sounds out.
"Well we just seem to be a family running from two sides, Manticore and Ames White and his creepy breeding cult."
"Yeah.. I wish we could take out all of them. Just be done with them for a while."
Nikki blinked a few times then looked at both of them.
