Max rolled her eyes and threw off her leather jacket and hat. She had no time for this, and if fighting her not so deceased brother was going to be her ticket out and to go see if Alec was ok then she was going to do it. "What's it going to be Ben?" she asked, clenching her fists again. "I don't want to fight you, but I will if I have to,"

He smiled sadly at her, but nonetheless they began to circle each other. "I won't be easy to fight. It would be easier if you just came with me,"

"Like hell," she growled, and next thing she knew he had dived towards her. She blurred out of his reach and then cracked her knuckles. "Let's go brother," she said, and then she threw out a kick hitting him full on the chest.

"You have been back to Manticore," he commented as he stumbled backwards, smiling wickedly.

"Didn't you get the memo?" she growled, "I took down Manticore, and I am not going to be stopped by you,"

Whilst Max was dealing with Ben, Alec was having trouble of his own. White's men clearly wanted him back, and he didn't understand why. He couldn't seem to shake them even with all the turns and crazy out of the way maneuvers. This was classic, he groused to himself, the whole divide and conquer routine. Alec let out a growl, and gunned for one of the sectors. He was betting the Clave wouldn't be willing to cause a scene in front of the normals. As he skidded to a stop in front of one of the sectors, he noticed that the Clave had disappeared.

He handed the Sector Guards his pass and it was approved and they let him in. Before any more could be thought, he found that his phone was going off. Not bothering to look at the caller ID, he answered, "Max is that-,"

"Its…Logan," Logan Cale's voice appeared on the line. His animal instincts wanted him to be on the attack towards Max's ex.

"The hell you want?" he growled, not in any mood.

"Max is in trouble," he informed him.

"No shit," Alec snapped back at the human.

"If we wanna help her we have to work together," Logan said to the male X-5. As much as it angered Alec, he knew it would be better to get to her sooner than later.

"Ok," he relented, "Where is she?" he asked, getting ready to gun it towards her location. He wasn't going to let anything happen to her. Logan iterated the coordinates to him and he slammed the phone shut and zoomed off towards Max's location.

"Son of a bitch," Max murmured to herself as she barely blurred/ducked from a right hook from Ben. She jumped and let out a kick towards his chest. The male easily slapped it away.

"Give it up Maxie," he said, smirking at her. She glowered at the X-5 and hated that he was emulating Alec that well. She rolled behind him and swept his feet out from under him. He landed hard on the ground with a thud and she sprung back up on to her feet. He glared at her, and blurred back to his feet, pulling out a gun.

She was on him in a flash, forcefully gripping his wrist and twisted it painfully to the side until he gave up his hold on it. She kicked it away from him, and narrowly dodged a backhand from him. She knew that he remembered how much she hated guns; he may have seemed a little more sane on some levels, but whatever was done to him he was not remembering that much about her or their time together with their siblings. "Ben come on, give it up," she begged. "I don't want to do this…" He leapt up into the air and nearly landed a fierce kick to her head. He wasn't going for killing moves, but he was trying his best to incapacitate her.

"I'll stop if you just come with me," he challenged once more, as he managed to land a fist across her face, splaying her down to the ground. Max let out a groan and spit out blood from her mouth. Clearly Ben didn't remember how to fight dirty, she thought to herself as she grasped a wicked looking rock, and shot up and power punched him to the right temple. "Damn it Max," he growled, and with more speed than he should have blurred over to her and wrapped his hands like a vise around her throat.

As much she started to struggle against the male she couldn't get a hand, foot, or anything to fight against him. As her vision started to fade in and out, out of nowhere Ben was thrown off of Max. She gasped as oxygen finally was able to enter into her lungs. A van roared up next to her, and the doors opened up to reveal Logan. She glanced towards Ben and saw that Alec had came and saved her from whatever Ben was going to do with her. "Get her out of her Cale!" Alec growled at the non-transgenic.

"Like hell!" Max snapped at him, smacking Logan's gloved hands away from her as she scrambled out to her feet. She zoomed past him and jumped and let out a kick which landed hard on to Ben's chest. Alec shot her a look, but then focused his angry glare at the Transgenic.

"Nice to finally meet the defective X-5 that put me through hell," Alec growled at his clone.

"Boo hoo," he shot back just as snottily. Next thing Max knew she was being blurred to Logan's van and the door slammed shut.

"God damn it Alec!" she shouted as the van started to go. "Don't you even let this van go any further Logan Cale," she groused at him. He didn't make any movement to stop the vehicle so she pushed him back and opened up the door and launched out. This was going to end right now. As she strode over towards the fighting males and bent down to grab the gun. She saw it was a tranquilizer gun.

Both males raised their eyebrows in surprise. "Max don't!" they both said at the same time. She rolled her eyes at the cliché that Ben was currently pulling; shoot one and it could be her boyfriend.

"Sorry Ben," she said, aiming towards the correct male. Scents don't lie, and she fired two tranquilizers into his chest. "You ok smart Alec?" she asked as she dropped the tranq gun to rub her sore neck.

"Damn Maxie," he said, open mouthed in shock for a moment that she actually used a gun. Then he took a look at the forming bruises on her neck. He flipped around and snarled at the unconscious body on the ground.

"Alec," she said, and he turned back and softened his look on his face and approached her. He gently rubbed his thumbs on where they were and let out a sigh. "You alright?"

"I'm fine," he let out a sigh. "Just glad that you aren't hurt too bad," the transgenics turned to see Logan out of the van. "Thanks," Alec begrudgingly grumbled to the human, "Wouldn't have gotten to Max in time if it wasn't for you,"

"No problem," he said awkwardly.

Max looked down at her fallen brother and then started to dig through his pockets in his jackets. She pulled out a notepad and along with her name and Alec's name was the names of all of her fallen squad and their designations. "Why does he have these?" she asked, in shock. Could it be that her siblings were actually alive still? And what did White want with all of them?

I hope you guys enjoyed this small blip of an update!
