A/N: Sorry, I know I said a couple of days, but blame it on the big project
that my science teacher dreamed up.

"Max . . ." Alec cried, beginning to fear the worst.
"Come on, now. She's not going to wake up." A new voice cut in, and the sound of high heels on the dusty linoleum floor announced the presence of Star.
"What did you do to her?" Alec growled, as he began to struggle against the ropes that bound him to a chair, using all his Manticore training to slowly untie the knots.
Star didn't notice Alec's hands working furiously as she plopped herself on his lap, and leant against him. "She was in the way. I had to get her out of the way somehow." She smiled to herself, seemingly proud of the way Max had turned out.
"You sick . . ." Alec started, but stopped as Star turned to face him, and, still sitting on his lap, wrapped her hands around his neck. She pressed her forehead to his.
"How is it you can resist me?" She wondered aloud. All her past victims had succumbed to her charm without any hesitations. Alec, on the other hand, was a handful to even get him to meet her places. She hoped that she wouldn't have that kind of trouble with anyone else. "It's her, isn't it? You love her." Star leapt up and pointed to Max angrily.
"I . . . don't know what you're talking about," he snarled, still desperately struggling with the large knot that tied his hand together.
"Liar!" Star screamed, and smacked Alec on the face with all the strength she could muster. "Why couldn't I see it before?" She asked herself, pacing back in forth in front of the still unconscious Max. "You always went to back to her no matter how many times she said she hated you," She counted the examples off on her fingers, "The constant visits to her place," She counted off another finger, "The hours on that, Space Needle, the hugging, the crying on your shoulder. You love her."
Star stepped in front of Alec, kneeling down to his eye level. "Well, Alec." She whispered, "She's going to die hating you." She put her hand on Alec's face. He flinched and pulled away, but Star just laughed. "Then you won't mind your death so much, huh?"
Alec's finger slipped through the middle of the knot, loosening it. Almost there . . .
A new idea formed in Star's mind. "Do you love her enough to die for her?" She asked.
Alec sat still for a minute, thinking over the question. Max . . . was she really worth his life? Would he give up his own happiness for hers? Yes, he would. He had tried more than once to tell Max how he felt, but his Smart-Alec attitude had always gotten in the way. He couldn't tell anyone all that, though.
"No." He spat. If he told her the truth, her twisted mind would probably come up with some horrible way to end more lives.
"Really?" It was obvious she didn't believe him.
Alec pulled his hands free from the ropes, leaving a burn on his wrist. Ignoring the sudden pain, he punched Star in the face.
She staggered backwards, dazed, as she tried to piece together what had just happened. That took enough time for Alec to untie his feet at Manticore speed, and he leapt up to face Star. One punch to the head, and she was out, all her cockiness and anger erased from her face. Alec tied her up to the chair he had previously occupied, taking care to do a better job tying knots than Star had done.
He turned to Max and ran over to untie her carefully, trying his best to ignore all the blood and bruises on her face and arms. She fell into his arms as soon as she was free, but didn't wake up.

A/N: Hiya ppl. Okay, not much, but I'm grounded and banned from my computer, and snuck on just long enough to type up this chapter, which I already wrote out during my Chinese lesson. I'll be okay again tomorrow, so I promise I'll write more then. This was just more M/A, too.
Angel452: If your reading this, I'm sorry but I'm not really sure if I'm gonna have more Logan in this story. I'll need him later for a small part, but he's not going to appear much in this story. Sorry.
I just read about the new Dark Angel novels. They're supposed to kick off where the series ended. The first one's Dark Angel: Skin Game. There's also supposed to be a serial killer, transgenic too, probably. Does anyone dare hope that it might turn M/A? (The novels I mean.) Oh, and if anyone knows more about when they'll be out, and any info about it all, let me know.
REVIEW!!!
