Curing history.
"So what you're saying is that-"
"Has anyone ever told you how annoying you are?" Max interjected.
"What? I'm just trying to be sociable."
She rolled her eyes.
"C'mon Max, we're in a bar having a few drinks. Not at Manticore, just the two of us-"
"And our backup." She added smoothly nodding at the two transgenics sitting by the bar- oh so not blending in. Not that anyone truly could blend in anyway. It was one of the most dismal places that Max had ever been in and they had been on some truly disgusting missions where the accommodation was nothing more than a flea pit. It wasn't that the place was dirty- oh no, in fact if you were so inclined you could eat your dinner off the floor- no what made it dismal was the fact that it wasn't really a place where you could imagine going socially…unless you were beaten up for your pocket money at school. Pre-pulse it would have been called a preppie bar; it was full of desperate suits who drank a working lunch whilst trying to forget that their ones and zeros had turned to big old zeros and their last pay check could easily just be that…their last. No such thing as job security when your contract was wiped out along with your bank records.
The décor was muted pink walls and light panelled wood. Dim Chinese lanterns hung over dark stained tables and there was a faint smell of incense under the overriding one of spilt alcohol and cigarettes. The whole effect of despondent drunks, suits and stale beer was a depressing one. It was the lat place you'd expect to find a soldier. It was also the last place you'd expect to find a snitch so it worked well as cover.
Max wasn't complaining.
"Can't you ever just relax and just be friends in a bar catching up?"
"Firstly- we're not friend's smart ass." Her grin took the edge off the words "Second, we have an informant to meet and third- I know how to chill out."
He sat back, his face a mask of disbelief "Please! You have the Manticore symbol tattooed as a no fun zone and you take it seriously."
Max frowned "I do?"
Alec hid his secret smile; he knew how to get to Max. Tell her that she was becoming too Manticore and she would bend over backwards to prove him wrong. It was a great way to get her to let her hair down and had worked wonders in the past few months to get her to spend more time alone with him and to get that little bit closer. They really had shared some memories this past year.
"A little." No point in letting her get all mopey about it.
"Well then hit me up with another drink." She gave him her best little girl smiled, knowing full well that he would succumb to it.
"What'dya want?"
She bit her lip "That sherbet Fritz looked nice."
"You're kidding right? That's not a drink. I can't go and order that frou-frou dessert, I'll be laughed at." He stared incredulously at her, knowing full well that he would end up doing as she asked anyway. It was scary how well she had him wrapped around her little finger.
"Is too a drink!" she poked her tongue out at him
"I don't call a Sherbet Lollipop dipped in Vodka a proper drink."
"It looks tasty."
"The lollipop melts!"
"Into the vodka- sweet drink. Please Alec?" she batted her eyes and he sagged.
"One beer, one scotch and one frou-frou alka seltzer." She smacked his arm as he went by.
"Smart ass!"
"Don't forget it." he gave her a heart stopping grin and she watched him walk away.
Max shook herself. What was wrong with her? Since his ridiculous question on their first mission about who her type was she'd started to have thoughts. Disturbing thoughts. She'd never given men any thought before, even in heat they were more a means to an end and she had never fixated on one particular person before.
Well who was there to fixate on? Lydecker- not even, Zack- hello brother! Bulli- don't go there. She'd been lucky that way and had reached her mid-teens without ever having been affected by the male sex.
Then Alec had reminded her of the fantasy that she had had during her heat and now she found her attention wandering to Alec more often that not. Things that she had no place thinking about; like how well those cammies showed off his cute… okay maybe she was a tad obsessed with his ass.
But while it was new and intriguing she found it vaguely disconcerting. What was she supposed to do with these…feelings? Telling him was out of the question and she had no idea how to act on them.
She knew that several of the female transgenics, as well as the male, had already had sex. They used the lax rules for Special Op's or off hours during missions to do it and as long as no one got hurt then all was well. It made heat easier when one of the females had chosen a male. That way the others knew that she was off limits and didn't try to get with her during her cycle. The one who had chosen her would make sure that she got to isolation in plenty of time. They didn't dare to copulate because females were supposedly more fertile during their heat, and the last thing they needed was a pregnant transgenic.
But Max had never been interested in that. In Wyoming, her choice had been pitiful and her focus on survival but here in Seattle there was so much more choice and their roles weren't so easily defined in her life.
Biggs wasn't her father figure, Zan wasn't her tormentor and Alec wasn't her brother. So she had no idea how to act and so she kept her mouth shut and pretended that everything was the same as before.
It was working so far.
She glanced around the crowded bar and decided to take his advice and relax. They were here to meet an informant who said he had some information regarding a certain Manticore beneficiary who was getting cold feet. Supposedly this contractor was about to talk to his friends in the senate regarding the Manticore project, this could prove awkward since Project Manticore wasn't supposed to exist. Renfro wouldn't normal send out Special Ops on a meet and greet but the informant had wanted to meet at this bar. Manticore soldiers would look like Preppie students aching to be "Cool" as they downed warm beer. Dressed in blazers and school ties, Max and Alec were every inch the Prep school kids.
The informant had said that if he was more than an hour late then he was held at checkpoints and so to come back the next night at the same time.
He was already 45 minutes late.
She leaned forward and peered through the crowds for Alec when someone familiar caught her eye.
She tumbled off her stool and to her feet moving through the crowds, her eyes on the figure standing in one corner nursing a drink.
"Hey, I heard that alcohol stuff is bad for ya."
"Yeah." was the mirthless reply. The figure looked up and his big brown eyes widened in shock and his mouth dropped revealing perfect white teeth set into his dark face.
"Max?"
"Hey Bill." She beamed at him and he stood up quickly throwing his arms around her.
"God Max! What the hell are you doing here?" he glanced around quickly.
"Top secret, hush hush." she whispered conspiratorially.
She gave him a once over recalling the last time she had seen this man who was more of a father to her than anyone had ever been. This man had been a geneticist in Wyoming and he had been one of the reasons that she survived. He had been there for her to talk to and to push her along and keep her sane. His dreadlocks still cascaded down his back, only they had threads of grey in them now and his big brown eyes were rimmed with red.
"Damn it's good to see you Max." he said holding her close.
"You too. It's been a while."
"Three years at least!" he pulled back and she flashed him a smile. "What are you now seventeen?"
"Eighteen." She corrected with a grin as he looked her over and nodded his approval at the fine young woman she was becoming.
"So what's with you boo?" she asked.
He laughed and then stopped, almost surprised to hear it come from him.
"Bill?" her grin faded as she picked up on the stress lines on his face.
"Things aren't so good Maxie."
Alec made his way with transgenic grace to the table and placed their drinks down on the hard wooden surface and grinned in triumph as he didn't spill a drop. But Max was gone. He glanced towards the bathroom- but it wasn't like her to leave her post, even to answer the call of nature.
He glanced around wondering if she had spotted their informant. Then he saw her, at the bar with her arms around some man and he felt like someone had hit him in the gut with a two by four.
She didn't think he was heat material but she had her arms around some Afro-American guy that looked old enough to be her father? Who the hell did this guy think he was to come in here and just take Max away from him? Ok so he hadn't formally claimed her as his mate basically because she wouldn't understand, she admitted to not having spent much time around the males of her unit as a pre-teen and it was during this vital early stage that they had first discovered about mating and conquests and it wasn't something that really couldn't be explained it had to be experienced, oh yeah and she'd probably try to kick his ass if he started talking about something as primitive as possession. But he had her marked out as his. HIS. Well…the guys knew that she was off limits anyway. He clenched his teeth and debated briefly about walking over there and bashing the guys head in with his stool but managed to rein in his temper and count to ten…hundred before he lost it.
He made his way through the crowds, them parting like he was Moses, and he didn't even notice keeping his eyes firmly fixed on Max and the man.
As he came up behind them he heard her say
"Bill?"
"Things aren't so good Maxie." The man looked down at his beer.
"Max?" she spun around to see Alec standing behind her but all her attention was on Bill.
"Hey." She said distractedly and then turned back again.
"What is it, what's wrong?"
"Laura." His voice cracked and he glanced back up, his eyes staring to fill with tears. "My baby girl is dying Max."
"Oh Bill!" Max didn't know what to say. She touched Bill's back.
He swiped at the tears in his eyes "She has some virus from pre-pulse but it mutated. She needs a transplant because her kidney's failed but her blood type is so rare that they can't find enough to be able to safely do the procedure." He laughed but it was a cruel and harsh sound "I'm a geneticist and I can't even save my own flesh and blood."
"What about Manticore?"
"Too much risk of exposure for them to help even for one of their own, if it gets out that genetically altered blood is on the market then all hell breaks loose with CDC and FEMA and god knows what else. They offered me more money to find another way to get the blood but," he dropped his shoulders "She's dying."
"Isn't there anything you could do?" she asked desperately.
He shook his head "If there was would I be sitting here? Me and Kelly don't have her specific blood type, only a close family member could have and we've been tested."
"What about transgenic specific." Max said her voice clear.
Alec froze- she couldn't possibly be thinking what he thought she was thinking, right? "Uh Max?"
"Shut up." She said without looking at him.
"She can have my blood." She told Bill "Manticore made us to be universal donors, I could pretend to be a family member and no questions asked."
"They do a blood type and cross, they'd know your blood was different."
"So we get a Manticore doc to do the procedure on the sly and I hook us up with lifted transfusion detail."
Bill's eyes registered a glimmer of hope which he tried to extinguish "It's too dangerous Max, if Manticore find out then you'll be in trouble."
"My middle name." she sassed.
"Uh Max, not to be the bad guy here but this," Alec gestured between her and the man "Not a good idea. If Manticore catches you, you could be placed in Psy-Ops."
"Home sweet." Her tone dropped to cool and she turned to him "I'm doing this."
"But how the hell are you supposed to get a whole transfusion detail out of Manticore without anyone being the wiser and get back here to do the damn procedure?"
"I'll think of something." She replied "Just don't rat me out."
"I wouldn't." he said genuinely hurt that she would think he would do that.
"Good." She said firmly, just making sure.
"So how do we do this?"
"We?" she glared "I don't recall anyone inviting you on this little jaunt."
He grinned "Oh come on. Like I'd let you have this much fun on your own."
"Uh who are you?" they turned to see Bill staring at Alec with a funny look on his face.
Max sighed.
~~~~
"I'd just like to go on board as saying that this is a bad idea!"
"Noted and ignored." Max said as she placed the I.V and tubing into the inner pockets of her coat. They had broken into the med labs to steal the stuff that was needed to transfuse Laura. It was surprisingly easy. Manticore obviously didn't think that the transgenics would ever think of stealing from the place. Obviously Pix's little tricks hadn't taught them caution yet when it came to chemicals and the like. Max had tried to keep it as quiet as possible but it was a little hard with Alec yapping in her ear all of the time.
"I mean, okay his daughter is sick but who is this guy?" Alec moaned as he tried to fit all of the needed syringes and needles into his pockets without making them look bulgy.
"Shut up Alec."
"I mean it Max, I want to know."
She turned and faced him at the serious look on is face.
"I am risking my ass for you."
"Things in Wyoming were…tough." She wasn't sure how to say what she needed to without giving everything away, no matter what the rest of Manticore were like, even those like Alec there were still some things that she was going to keep a secret.
"After the escape things got bad. Bill helped me through that. I owe him a lot. That's why we're doing this."
As Alec looked at her he knew that there was a lot more than what she was saying but he decide to let it go for now.
"Alright, this guy is important to you, I'm on board with that."
Max just nodded and walked away, Alec following.
~~~
Alec looked around, it was a nice neighbourhood that they were in. it almost looked pre-pulse with its white picket fences and red brick. He half expected a dog to come running out from the yard and yip at him. He grinned at the thought and waited until Max rang the doorbell- an honest to goodness doorbell!
It was opened by a scared looking brunette with wide eyes and a tired expression.
"Yes?" she said around the crack in the door that she looked out of.
"Hi, is Bill at home?" Max asked with a small smile. It was clear that she didn't know who this woman was either.
"Depends who's asking?" the woman demanded looking annoyed. Alec could understand that, a guy's wife answers the door to a beautiful young girl asking for her husband it's bound to cause some tension.
"I'm Max."
The transformation was instantaneous, her eyes lit up and the door opened and they walked in. The door was closed behind them and the woman turned to them.
"I'm Kelly."
"Oh!" Max smile widened "It's nice to meet you finally."
The woman bit her lip and then threw her arms around Max.
Alec raised his eyebrows and smirked as Max stiffened uncomfortably.
"Hey Kel, Maxie doesn't do that mushy stuff." Bill walked into the room.
"Too true." Max pulled away and patted Kelly on the shoulder.
"Right, I just wanted to do that for years." Kelly straightened her clothes.
Max shifted on her feet and glanced at Bill who had the decency to look sheepish.
"Ok so I talked a lot about you."
Alec stared between them- what had gone on between these two? They had a level of friendship that he hadn't seen between Max and anyone, not even Zan who she was really close to. They seemed to communicate without saying anything, a whole world of smiles and casual touches going on. He envied the man at being that close to Max.
"So do I get to meet Laura?" she asked ignoring the speculative glance that Alec was giving her.
"Oh yes." Bill gestured up the stairs.
Alec followed Max and took time to stare at pictures as they went up the stairs, they were family pictures. Mom, Dad and girl sitting in a park, Kid on dad's shoulders, Dad with big fish, Mom with Baby, Baby in fairy outfit, Kid walking. It was so homey to Alec he moved closer to Max as if searching for the familiarity and comfort that the pictures offered.
They walked into a room that was pink. Not just pink. Baby pink. With white fluffy pillows and lace border. In the centre of the room was a big bed with pink covers and a small figure lay in the centre clutching a furry rabbit. As Alec moved closer he could see that she had the same dark African- American colouring as her father and the soft brown hair of her mother.
"Meet Laura." Bill whispered trying not to wake the sleeping child.
There was another man in the room, a pale thin man wearing a stained lab coat and sneakers.
"Oh this is Gregory Walcott, he's going to do the transfusion. We were at MIT together."
"Hmm, yes…Bill told me about you." The guy hemmed, not quite meeting Max's eyes.
"Oh?" her gaze shot to Bill who shook his head imperceptibly.
"Yeah I had to tell him that the reason that you couldn't go to the hospital to have the transfusion was because you had a criminal record and were on the run."
Alec's lips twitched, Criminal record?!
"That's right." Max lied smoothly "I don't wanna go to prison again for doing a good deed 'kay?"
"N-no problem." The man stammered obviously nervous at being around a hardened criminal.
"Let's do this." Max pulled out the drip and bandages from her pocket. Alec followed suit almost laughing as the scientists eyes bulged.
"Where did you get that?"
"A little B and E never hurt anyone." Max teased and Alec scoffed
"Except that guard." He offered adding to her story.
"Hey I'm sure he was dirty, he deserved every broken bone." They watched the scientist pale out of the corner of their eyes and shared a conspirator's glance.
Bill's lips twitched, knowing full well that Max was just playing up to expectations.
They hooked up the I.V, the doctor staying as far away from Max as possible. A fact which amused Alec to no end.
Max hooked herself up to the other end and they all watched with some strange sort of fascination as the red liquid transferred from her to Laura.
~~
Bill touched Alec's hand. He didn't realize that he had been staring at Max for over an hour now in complete silence, just thinking about things.
He jumped at the contact
"Sorry what?"
"Come with me." Bill said and took him downstairs to the kitchen. Bill switched on the light and went to the fridge.
"You want anything to eat uh…sorry I forgot your name."
"Alec." He looked around the neat kitchen done in yellow colours. It was just like the rest of the house. There were mugs with "Worlds best Dad" written on them and pictures of Mom stuck to the fridge with magnets that declared they were from places like Italy and Mexico. A vase shaped like a gnome held carnations and Alec had a vague alien feeling. This house and its love and comfort were so far removed from anything that he had ever been exposed to that it disconcerted him and made him feel off centre, he wished Max was down here with him to smirk and shake her head at the weirdness with him but she was still giving her life to that girl.
He spotted something on the fridge and came closer to peer at it, unsure what the picture was supposed to represent.
"Laura did that a few months ago." Bill explained.
There was bright blob of yellow in the sky and three people standing under it. They were labelled with mom, dad and me. It was too cute for words.
"Why do you have that up?" Alec said "It doesn't look like you."
"Yeah but Laura drew it and she is proud of it."
Alec shook his head, really not understanding and Bill was reminded of a sweet transgenic girl who asked him why he was buying a soft rabbit for his new baby daughter "Doesn't seem practical," she'd said with a frown. "It doesn't serve any purpose."
"So Alec huh?" Bill handed him a beer "Let me guess, Max named you?"
Alec nodded "Alec as in Smart Alec."
Bill laughed "Good name, better than some of the ones she gave out in Manticore."
"Like what?" Alec wanted to know more about Max as a kid.
"Like Silt, Dredge. Or how about Simper, Sucker?"
Alec laughed "Really those were some of her ideas?"
The light faded somewhat from his eyes as Bill replied "Believe me, they earned every one."
"Yeah Max said something about it being bad back then."
"Bad?" Bill chuckled dryly, "She must have given you the abridged version."
Alec frowned, that was the second time that he heard something like that about Max and Manticore. Okay so the place was bad but her experience hadn't been that bad surely, they all had had it tough.
Before he could ask, Kelly came down the stairs and touched her husbands shoulder.
He rubbed her hand in a gesture of comfort that made Alec feel slightly out of place again. He wasn't used to this much touchy feely stuff and it was making him on edge.
"How is she?" Bill asked anxiously.
"Laura or Max?" she seemed more amused than annoyed, accepting the transgenic's place in his life without question.
"Both." He grinned up at her and kissed her knuckles.
"Doc says they are both doing fine so far. Laura's stats are up, she's doing better Billy."
He closed his eyes and sighed in relief.
"I knew Max would come through for me. She wouldn't let me down."
"So Alec isn't it?" Kelly said with a smile "Max will be out for a few hours."
"You don't know her very well." Alec smirked, knowing that she would be up in a matter of minutes if she had anything to do with it.
"I do." Bill said "And Alec's right, Max will be up in a few minutes, waiting to kick ass."
"You sound like you know her well." Alec said and then hesitated.
"Yeah?" Bill prompted knowing that he had a question.
"It's just that we weren't allowed to fraternize with the staff or techheads, no offence. So I don't get how you and Max can be so close."
Bill half grinned "Me and Max had a special relationship, something that none of the upper at Manticore knew about."
"How special?" Alec's voice was flat and Bill looked amused at him.
"She's half my age kid, what do you think?"
Alec cleared his throat, almost embarrassed at the question and his implications.
"Yeah." he cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head.
Kelly picked up a big yellow binder that had been lying on the table and opened it, flicking through the pages.
"What's that?" Alec's curiosity got the better of him plus he wanted to change the subject.
"It's Laura's baby photo's we were just looking through them." Kelly held the book so he could see the grinning face of the thin young girl upstairs.
"She's pretty." He offered not sure what to say- looking through photos wasn't something he had ever done- unless they were blueprints to a building or mug shots of an informant. The idea that they could be used for recreation was slightly odd to him.
He flicked the pages with Kelly and sometimes Bill pointing out memories, the girl's first tooth, or her first play. Alec did his best to act attentive but he felt totally out of his depth here. He just wasn't used to this whole family thing that they had going for them, no one had yelled at him or told him "Eyes Front", it was unsettling.
Then they turned the page and he did a double take.
"Whoa!"
It was a photo of Bill in a white lab coat sitting in a lab with his arm around a young girl. She looked about twelve years old with short hair that reached just under her ears; she had big brown eyes and olive skin and a small grin. One eye was black and puffy, cuts littered her face and blood had congealed from a slit in her lip, she was wearing Khaki trousers and a grey t-shirt and she was familiar.
"Is that Max?" Alec peered closer.
"Yeah, the one and only time I ever dared to smuggle a camera into Manticore. The rest of the time we were searched coming in and out. Industrial espionage was a big deal but I wanted a picture of Max to stick in the family album."
Alec chuckled "Rough training day?" he gestured to the bruises on her face and neck.
"No." Bill's voice was quiet and they all looked up as Max dragged herself into the room.
Alec stared down at the picture. Not a rough training day? Looked pretty rough to him, of course he had only looked that bad after he had run the course in the storm and a branch the size of a car had fallen inches away from his crawling form, scratching his face with its sharp off shoots. Max's face looked like his did then but Bill had said that it was a normal day and his voice put Alec on the edge. Exactly what had Max done to look like that?
"Hey." She slumped into the nearest corner.
"Max you should be resting."
"I'm aiight." She declined his offer of a chair and leaned against the fridge "What'cha up to?"
"Looking at pictures of you Maxie." Alec teased, wondering if she'd tell him what she had done to look like that and offered her the book. She grinned and ducked her head "Lovely thanks for that, Bill. Like I don't have enough smart ass remarks from him." She slapped him upsides the head.
"You were cute!" Alec protested with a smirk rubbing the back of his head.
"One more word." She raised a hand in warning and he held up his in surrender.
"Whatever you say Maxie!"
Bill and Kelly exchanged glances and smiled at the teasing that the two of them expressed remembering their own courting days.
"So the doc upstairs thinks I'm a criminal but he also says that Laura is gonna be fine. Give her a few days and she should be right as rain."
Bill sagged "God Max, how am I ever supposed to pay you back?"
Max walked over to him and stared into his eyes for a few seconds.
"You did."
She remembered how he had kept her sane all of those times that she had come to the lab broken and bleeding, the time he got the Tryptophan for her and when he covered her seizures for her. But most of all when he had sat up with her all night in the med lab when she had been beaten to a pulp by Bulli and had helped her regain herself before being shifted to Psy-Ops. It was because of him that she was still alive and Max rather than some mindless automaton.
He stared back and then nodded slowly a soft smile showing his understanding.
"Thank you!" Kelly threw her arms around Max again, breaking the intense moment.
Max laughed and pushed her back "Geez Lady, you don't know your own strength."
"Max. I hate to be the one to break up the party but we have to go. We need to get back to barracks before they find us missing."
"Yeah." Max nodded and grabbed her jacket "Gotta blaze."
"Will you come back and see us?" Kelly wanted to know as they headed for the door.
"Not sure, probably not a good idea." Max said with regret in her voice "They'll be keeping tabs on you and once she gets better..."
Bill nodded and finished her sentence "Plausible deniability, they don't know we know you and we don't know you."
"Hey we just have to wait until it's strategically tactical." She threw out the phrase and watched him smile at the memory of her saying that a lot back in Wyoming.
"Karma making a comeback." He answered and then held his arms out.
Max walked into them and hugged him back.
"Thank you." he whispered so that only she could hear.
"Back atcha." She pulled away and nodded. "Later."
Bill held his hand out for Alec to shake.
"Take care of my Max." his eyes held something that made Alec take him seriously.
Alec glanced back at her as she walked away and grinned at Bill.
"Always."

La Vito- M/A action? Of course there will be. Is Max going to meet Logan? Yes. Will she be attracted to him? No. As for the rest I'm not saying just yet okay?
SGOU- Glad you think so, I didn't think it was too slow but I'm just the writer. And he is just a teenager isn't he?!
Kim- Yeah, it was set about a year or so in the future and this one was set that bit furthur- don't get confused. I know I was!
Ting- oh you have no idea how complicated I can make it- but no virus- I promise! LOL.
Ganko- Thanks for the long review, its great to know what you liked. Pix and Biggs will have to have long chat soon won't they?! Max and Alec had perfect togetherness in that ddint they. He was so nervous bless him!
Elizabeth Annette- Who is in Seattle? No one right now, I don't want to give the story away but hang on in there. Promise.
Sigma1- It had to be said. They need to fight some to get rid of UST, when its ST then we have kisses instead of punches…for the most part.
Raven- Hope he isn't acting too sappy. I like the way eh is over Max and her being cluesless!
GivenAlias- Never get sick of always replying to reviews. Sometimes a review will spark me off in a different direction and I get a new idea. You guys are my muse and what kind of person ignores their muse? Plus it would be rude to ignore all of eth wonderful things that people say without saying thank you. What can I say I was bought up polite!
Athena80- More expressive Max? I'll try but she is very closed off. Lemme see what I can do with her. Thanks for the Review!
Jynx- Yeah had to have a dig at Logan. As for the other X's? Soon very soon.
Et- Who is gonna give first? Um a hint, what like who'll realise it first or say it?
Freedom Angel- I am so glad everyone liked that line- I know I did.
Messymissy- No feel free to write as much as you want, I love it! Glad you like the M/A bits. Max and motorcycles- great idea, thanks for that I totally forgot about her ninja! They'll be money savvy for missions but being rich? I don't know about that yet. Well see.
Lyndsay- feel free to review Moving Alongside too! Pix really does need to watch out for Biggs, he is very overprotective.
JG- Hey there! Glad you liked it and the dance line was also a fave of mine. I hope the missions sound realistic.
Brynnmissy- thanks I was a little apprehensive about the infamous Kezmezikstan mission but I think it went okay.
Cloudburst- No that's fine- I told you that long reviews were okay. M/A in formal wear so adorable! Biggs gets more screen time in Moving Alongside. And I had to write something about Max in heat! Every one wanted it. LOLA!! I hope I continue to exceed expectations.
Elfie- I know big jump but I wanted to bypass a lot and get to the juicy stuff, romance is better at 17 than at 15, makes it less ishy for some reason. Oh they are soooo like that, they just don't know it yet. Are the Wyoming lot on missions yet? Meeting up? Can't answer that. Sorry. Do you think Manticore is too soft on the Seattle lot? Should I add more punishments? Some one found Drew for me (she was actually in an episode of Dark Angel-doh!) but I'm currently Tara less.
Acb- if its still cut off email me and i'll send it to you.
Natasgi- UST is fun! Glad its not too slow!
