Dizzy just sat there looking down at her hands in horror as the blood dried on her hands. "Why did you recommend me for this?" Dizzy asked Max who just sat there laughing at her disgust and horror.
"Because we need field meds and you have a lot of training in field med more so then others and you have a good bedside manner." Max said as Dizzy used the tweezers to pull the bullet out of an X5's shoulder, he twitched as she put rubbing alcohol on the wound, but when she blew on it he settled down.
"She is good." The X5 grunted and Max just smiled.
"Did I mention I do not like blood?" Dizzy asked making Max and the other X5 laugh.
"Blondie no one likes blood." The X5 said making Dizzy grumble more under her breath. The two of them still heard her and just smiled at her submission.
"Well I have to get back to the command center, take care of our boy Dizzy." Max said leaving the blonde girl to stitch up the male who just laughed at her defeated look.
Max took her time walking back to the command center as she took in all of the transgenic faces surrounding her, they had all come to accept her as a part of their family and she loved it knowing that she was beginning to fit in with all of them. They had all slowly become one big family always looking out for each other; no one was left behind or wanting. Alec and Max were their leaders and Max had become respected amongst the populace even by Mole who seemed to be Max's largest obstacle but she soon had won the heart of the big lizard man.
"Hey Max." Zero said coming up to Max making sure not to touch her, hey the guy was not stupid he knew Alec would kill him if he touched Max, even if the two were only friends. Alec was still not completely trusting of him.
"Hey Zero what are you doing over here?" Max asked laughing as Zero blushed.
"Well I was looking for you actually see I am having a major problem with Ralph and Fixit, they both like me and well I have no idea what to do." Zero said.
"I might not be the best person to ask about this I am not good with relationships because aside from Alec non of mine have been healthy, and even with Alec that did not start off too well. I think you should talk to Alec, Biggs or Rex about this they are the go to guys when it comes to women." Max said making Zero laugh.
"Alright I will ask one of them, it might be better having a guys opinion anyways." Zero said Max just laughed as he skipped away towards the gym where she and everyone else knew Alec was.
Logan looked helplessly at the front gates of Terminal City knowing that X series and anomalies were hidden watching him as he looked at the gates that separated him from his love. Oh how he missed Max, she was so close yet so far away, kept away from him by wire and wood. He knew Max did not want to be with Alec and that she was only with him because she was having his baby. He just had to tell her that it was okay and that the two of them could run away together and that they could raise the baby together as theirs, it would never have to know that it had a screw up for a father.
"Oh come on people just please let me in I need to talk with Max!" Logan said as he pounded on the fence. Several of the X6's were smiling knowing that this was what Mole and Dizzy wanted, they all wanted Logan to feel pain, pain like they felt; raw and full of gull.
"Sorry buddy we cannot do that." Rex said suddenly appearing on the other side of the gate; Logan stumbled backwards when he saw Rex. Logan was never very fond of the teen who thought he was better with a computer then Logan, he was Eyes Only for crying out loud no one was better with a computer then him.
"Just go and get Max I know she will want to speak with me." Logan said.
"No can do Logan, Max is occupied at the moment and will not be able to come down here just to talk with you." Rex said grinning from ear to ear knowing he was driving Logan up the wall.
"Like I have said before I know she will want to talk to me we love each other and I know this separation is killing her, I mean she has been away from me for over a day. She has not seen my face letting her know not to give up hope and that some day soon we will be sitting in our country house sipping wine as we watch our children play." Logan said.
"Oh make me yack, the day Max moves out to the country is the day I kiss Renfro." Rex said barks of laughter erupted around him, as the hiding transgenic's picture Rex kissing Renfro.
"Well then start puckering." Logan said making the laughter die off.
"Go away Logan she does not want to see you." Rex snapped.
"You do not know that you have no idea what Max and I have. Alec put you up to this didn't he? He has been trying to keep Max away from me for months, ever since he first met Max actually." Logan said.
"Right and none of that would have to do with Max being his breeding partner and he just wanted to make sure nothing bad happened to her?" Rex asked Logan just stared at him as if he had grown a second head.
"I know Alec hates me and all he wants is for me to suffer, I do not blame him after all Manticore did brainwash him into thinking I was the enemy and that I needed to be eliminated." Logan said he never saw Rex motion for one of the others to contact the command center.
"Logan I am asking you to please leave we do not want any trouble." Rex said.
"No I demand to see Max, she loves me and she needs me!" Logan yelled not seeing Mole coming.
"Calm down Logan, Max is busy so she sent me out." Mole said Logan just huffed when Max still did not show up.
"Stop keeping her from me, you all probably have her tied up in there so she cannot come out and see me. You all know she will want to ditch Alec and run away with me." Logan said.
"Yeah we are worried about our pregnant leader running away with a norm." Mole grunted letting out a puff of smoke.
"You all just don't want to admit that Max wants a normal life away from all of you that she wants to have lots of babies with me." Logan said.
"Oh that is disgusting, my girlfriend is not having kids with you." Alec said brushing his shaggy blonde locks out of his eyes as he approached the gate with Biggs and Zero.
"Yes she will, she loves me." Logan said Zero frowned.
"Yeah I am having a hard time picturing Max touching you let alone sleeping with you." Zero said and Alec just laughed.
"Oh Max and I will have sex lots and lots of sex." Logan said waving his hands wildly about.
"No my PREGNANT girlfriend would not even touch you remember you might die." Alec said.
"Yes and she knows that it is your fault we cannot touch and that someday we will find the cure for it. Someday soon the two of us will be holding hands again." Logan said pressing his face against the metal fence.
"Okay then Logan please leave we have too much to do without you standing around messing things up." Alec said turning to leave.
"Hey I am a valuable member of Terminal City I help out all of the time. I am the best computer specialist you all have." Logan said not seeing Rex moving towards his part of the fence.
"No norm. Cherish was the best computer specialist we had." Rex spat before disappearing into the shadows around the gate as he went back to his post. The others left as well, all silent.
Logan seeing that he was not going to get in decided he would have to come back later, but as he turned to leave something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned and came face to face with Mandy who was smiling at him.
"Funny here I am their greatest enemy and I am here in Terminal City with them, but you the supposed love of Max's life are stuck on the outside. Funny how things turn out." Mandy said and Logan just stared at her in horror watching as the wind blew her maroon locks about.
"You. Somebody help a Familiar is here somebody help!" Logan yelled. Rex came out of hiding again this time very agitated.
"What are you yapping on about?" Rex asked nodding at Mandy who just smirked.
"She is a Familiar, kill her!" Logan yelled pointing to Mandy who just stood there with her hands on her hips. Logan shuddered when her saw humor flash in the steel gray eyes of the girl who was working with White.
"Yes I know she is a Familiar she is living here." Rex said.
"But she is one of the people who captured me!" Logan yelled and Mandy just snickered at him.
"Really you captured him?" Rex asked looking mildly pleased.
"Actually it was Ames but I was called in to play with him a bit." Mandy said making Rex smile, he knew that the girls definition of play involved blood and pain.
"Logan we have no problem with her being here so again run along now." Rex said and Logan just stood there with his mouth hanging open.
"But she is trying to kill you!" Logan yelled.
"Not at this moment." Rex said.
"I am going back in, later Rex." Mandy said strutting away and Rex just laughed as several males openly stared at her before he disappeared back into the shadows.
Alec walked back into the main gym followed by Biggs and Zero, the three of them had been sparing and training before they were called to the front gates by Dix saying Logan was bugging some of the X6's. Several of the others who were in the gym made room for the three knowing they were going to need room for the intricate moves they used, especially Biggs who liked to make fighting an art.
"So what should I do I mean Ralph on the one hand has been a great friend but Fixit has always been well attractive." Zero said blocking one of Alec's left kicks.
"Go for Ralph she seems to have it bad for you, Fixit was interested in Bullet the last time I saw her, at least with Ralph her feelings do not change with the wind." Alec said.
"From what I know about both of them Ralph seems like the better choice if you want a serious relationship, where Fixit is love-them-and-leave-them kind of girl." Biggs said doing a back handspring towards Alec, kicking the blonde in the chest making him stagger back from the blow.
"I don't want a girl for just one night I am over that." Zero said.
"So go for Ralph." Alec said. Zero launched himself in the air and landed a solid roundhouse kick to Biggs chest sending him flying. Biggs swung his legs towards his head and then swung them straight using the momentum to stand up, he circled the other two again.
"So Biggs how is Hawk?" Alec asked stumbling back when Zero nailed him in his left side. Biggs just shook his head laughing as Alec looked at Zero with wide eyes, the kid sure packed a punch or a kick in this case.
"She is better, she has come out of the bathroom and just locked herself in her room now. She only lets her unit members, Max, Mandy and I in. Mandy actually is pretty amusing when she is not threatening to off all of our kind." Biggs said.
"She does have a morbid sense of humor but at least she is more fun than White who is all work and no play." Alec said.
"Yes I am starting to think the two are exact opposites, she seems to hate working." Zero muttered and the two X5's nodded in agreement.
"Yeah I got that impression when she first got here her presence just screamed I will kick your butt so fast and hard you will be feeling my foot for years to come." Alec said jumping out of the way as Biggs sent punches his way followed by a spinning kick, which landed.
The three continued to fight for hours Zero took the most hits overall and it was Alec who landed the most hits overall. Many had stopped to watch the three who were considered three of the best Manticore had. Alec was known for his deadly accuracy, Zero for his speed, and Biggs for the flash and glitter of his fighting.
"Wow I am impressed Biggs those flips were killer." Max said from her position at the door, everyone else was smirking knowing she had been there for over an hour. Alec of course knew the moment she entered the room, which made him fight harder wanting to impress her.
"Thanks." Biggs said smiling.
"Hey what about me?" Alec asked pouting, Max just laughed and gave a sweaty Alec a hug.
"But Zero man had the speed thing going on you were slaughtering them when it came to speed." Max said making Zero grin like an idiot.
"Hey I was fast." Alec pouted.
"Yes you were but everyone already knows you are the best." Max said.
"So you admit I am the best." Alec grinned wrapping his arms around Max's middle making her squirm to get away from his sweaty body but Alec just held on to her tighter.
"Yes, but try getting me to say that in front of people again." Max said, Biggs and Zero just laughed. A large X5 male walked into the gym then looking pained.
"Hey Scar how does the shoulder feel?" Max asked.
"Well Blondie sure does hate blood but she did a good job stitching me up, she made it all pretty look." Scar said showing off his red stitches. Max just laughed at the odd color.
"Why red?" Biggs asked.
"She said that it was the grisliest color they had and after all the bleeding I did I deserved the pretty stitches. I think she did it to get back at me for bleeding." Scar said scratching the back of his head.
"She does hate blood." Max agreed.
"Wait an X6 is afraid of blood?" Zero asked.
"She is a tech with medical training and I think blood brings back some bad memories." Biggs said.
"She threatened to kill me if I got injured again." Scar said.
"She would go through with it too." Alec muttered knowing Dizzy's temper.
"Max, Captain America just left." Mole growled.
"Now he left? That is four hours later." Max groaned Biggs just patted Max on the back and Alec kissed her forehead.
"Well as far as ex-boyfriends go Logan is bordering on the best one ever." Biggs said in a sarcastically cheerful voice, the ex of his best friend's girl would not leave her alone so yeah he was upset.
"Oh yes with his constant "Max and I are meant to be together" and "Max just has to believe that someday we will find a way to touch again without having to wear gloves." Alec said making his voice all whiney like Logan's.
"Ah but who can forget my all time favorites "Max loves me not Alec" oh and the new one "We are going to have lots and lots of sex." Biggs said making Max groan.
"I have no idea what I ever saw in him, he is just so…so…" Max tried to come up with the perfect word to describe Logan.
"Old." Biggs suggested.
"Spooky." Zero supplied.
"Weird." Alec said.
"Normal." Mole grunted.
"Yeah normal he is too normal for me." Max said shocking those around her.
"I thought you wanted normal?" Mole asked.
"At one time I did but after I got recaptured normal just did not feel right anymore and I did not want normal. I do not want normal I am so not normal and proud of it." Max said the others in the gym cheered, Max just turned her head into Alec's chest to hide her blush.
"Welcome to the freak family Max." Biggs said and everyone else just chuckled.
"Okay so how am I going to get rid of this Logan problem?" Max asked Alec and Biggs but everyone knew she was opening the question up to the entire gym.
"Well obviously the whole you having someone else's baby did not stop him, the beating him to a bloody pulp has not stopped him, and the letting the enemy capture him and sending no rescue did not work so you all are going to have to get inventive." Mandy said leaning against the wall with Karl behind her.
"She is right none of the obvious reasons have deterred him from his love of Max." Alec said.
"What about a visual?" Zero asked.
"What do you mean?" Max asked looking at the X6.
"Well has he seen you and Alec together? I mean has he seen you kissing and hugging right in front of him?" Zero asked.
"Not that I know of." Max said and Alec nodded his head in agreement.
"So basically Logan has had no real visual only rumors and words and a few healthy beatings?" Mandy asked.
"Yes." Alec said.
"So give him a visual, it does not have to be the two of you doing the nasty. It could be a sweet moment or some jazz like that." Mandy said.
"The evil witch does have a point." Mole said letting out another puff of smoke.
"See even the giant lizard agrees with me." Mandy said earning a hefty whack on the back of the head from Mole.
"I don't feel pain remember." Mandy said slapping Mole on the back of the head making him wince.
"Wow the witch packs a punch, she smacks hard." Mole said.
"Okay I want to pause our Logan discussion here because something has been bugging me all day." Max said.
"Okay what?" Alec asked.
"We have not seen Mandy or Karl fight." Max said and Mandy's face lit up and she started jumping up and down.
"Who do I get to hit? Oh can it be the lizard man or better yet lizard man and blonde boy?" Mandy asked pointing to Alec.
"Sure." Alec said letting go of Max, Mole grudgingly went to the center of the mat as well as everyone moved to the perimeter of the large open gym. All three took fighting stances, Mandy's eye color suddenly changed.
"Oh crap what the heck is that?" Alec asked staring into the teens now black eyes.
"Oh just a little perk of being me." Mandy snarled. Mole initiated the fight trying to punch Mandy in the face; she easily grabbed his hand before he had a chance to pull back. Mandy pushed his arm back while it was locked sending waves of pain up the lizard man's arm.
Alec right kicked with a left punch and Mandy pushed Mole in front of her making him receive the painful blows. Mandy pushed Mole out of the way as she jumped in the air, did a 360 with her right leg extended and nailed Alec in the left side of his face with a hideous crack.
"Oh that had to hurt." Biggs said watching in fascination as Mandy then kicked Mole in the stomach while she head butted Alec.
"She has a great strategy, she is taking out the stronger of the two first by going for the head, and Mole she is just holding off while she gets rid of the challenge." Zero said.
"The transgenic hardly posses a challenge for her, none really do except another member of the Conclave." Karl said. Mandy grabbed onto both sides of Mole's head using his as leverage to swing herself in the air as she landed a windmill kick to Alec's head sending him to the ground. Seeing that Alec was down Mandy head butted Mole, kneed him in the face-forcing Mole to his knees where she delivered a roundhouse kick to the side of his head making him grunt in pain. She then did a 540 triple stunning many of the people as they heard a gorse crack when her feet collided with Mole. Alec managed to get back up but he was pleasantly greeted with an axe kick followed by a 720 sending Alec back down.
Alec got back up and flipped over to Mandy who flipped into the air and the two stood facing each other. Soon the two were just a blur of limbs the only sound was flesh hitting flesh and no one knew if it was them landing punches or blocking. Alec suddenly went flying through the air and Mandy lazily raised her right hand and flicked her wrist.
"Stay." Mandy said in a firm tone, Alec stopped in mid air. He moved his head from side to side as he looked at his current predicament.
"Oh this cannot be good." Alec said when Mandy flicked her wrist again. Alec went shooting up to the high gym ceiling and crashed into it with a bang.
"Oh I am so out of my league on this one." Alec gasped out. Everyone just stared in shock as Mandy threw Alec around the room with just a flick of her wrist she even changed hands.
"Hey look no hands." Mandy said sitting down on the mat with her hands folded in her lap. Soon Alec was being viciously thrown from the ceiling to the floor to one wall and then the next before she finally stopped.
"Oh that hurt." Alec gasped wincing as he got up off the mat.
"She just flew Alec around the room." Zero said Max just stood there with her mouth open, for once speechless.
"The trick to fighting her is not give her the chance to use her other abilities just keep going at her, your mistake was giving her the opportunity to control you." Karl said as he pulled off his shirt and walked into the center of the mat where Mandy stood. The two just stared at each other and then they both threw their arms up and screamed. A huge pulsating wave of energy appeared before them like a huge wall of blue and green. The two seemed to be pushing at the wall forcing it toward the other.
"They are telepathically creating a wall of energy and trying to force it on each other." Scar said as everyone stared transfixed as the two started to sweat, the two screamed again as the barrier went down and the two flew at each other, the physical attack had begun.
It was insane to watch, the two were merciless with each other, head butting and biting to gain the upper hand. Karl picked Mandy up and slammed her down on the ground with a nauseating crash. Mandy jerked the lower half of her body up towards Karl's head as she wrapped her
thighs around his neck and she squeezed hard before she jerked again and pulled him to the ground.
"Oh that is so cool." Biggs said, as the two Familiars became a blur as they fought.
"Now that I what I call a tough chick." Max said rubbing Alec's sore shoulder unconsciously as she watched the fight, Alec noticed though. The fight lasted for a long time and ended with Mandy stepping on Karl's windpipe ending their fight.
"That was great." Scar said.
"Yeah I am impressed, White sure did not fight like that." Max said and Mandy just smirked.
"Well I am just special." Mandy said and Karl snorted at that.
"Yeah special compared to me, your brother can take you down pretty fast." Karl said then he swore under his breath realizing his mistake. Mandy's eyes changed back to black, Karl went flying through the air.
"I am better than him." Mandy growled dropping Karl from his position on the ceiling, everyone watched as he fell to the ground.
"So then why is he always beating you in fights?" Karl asked Mandy just looked at him.
"Well if you had bothered to check you would have realized I did not want to hurt a family member. You on the other hand are being insolent." Mandy snarled.
"Wait you never pull that I am in a higher position then you crap." Karl spat out angry that she was being such a brat.
"Well you never challenged by authority before now. I am in line for the head of the Conclave not my brother. Don't ever challenge me again." Mandy said walking out of the gym.
"Hey no one in a position of power likes to be challenged I can feel for her there." Max said.
"Yeah especially when you can wipe the floor with the other person." Alec said looking at a brooding Karl. Alec, Biggs, and Zero grabbed their shirts before they followed Max out of the building.
"So when are you two going to give Logan a floor show?" Biggs asked as they enter their apartment building, Max said Zero could use their shower because it was closer.
"Oh next time we see him definitely, the sooner he is away from Max the better I will feel." Alec muttered.
"I want a pickle." Max said suddenly, the three guys just stared at her the two X5's were smirking.
"No not that kind of a pickle I want a real one a nice and salty one, oh that sounds so good." Max said licking her lips.
"Dude go get her a pickle." Alec said staring at Max's lips.
"You're her mate you go get her one." Biggs said.
"Right I will go get her one." Alec said blurring away, Max just smiled knowing she was soon going to get the pickle she wanted.
"You have him whipped Max." Biggs said as the three headed down the hall.
"No I do not, Alec is not capable of being whipped." Max grumbled and Biggs just laughed knowing Alec really was whipped, Max just did not realize it. Max let Zero into her apartment while she stayed out in the hall with Biggs.
"Max the guy just went all the way to the mess hall to get you a condiment. I think it is safe to say you have him whipped." Biggs said.
"That is not whipped that is just Alec not wanting to listen to me whine." Max said leaning against the wall while she waited for Alec, she did not want to go inside her apartment without Alec for some reason.
"Want me to wait with you?" Biggs asked and Max nodded.
"Do you think Mandy will be okay? She seemed really upset." Max asked.
"I think she will be fine she was just mad that someone she thought stood behind her was really rooting for someone else. It sounds like her relationship with her brother is less than stellar." Biggs said.
"That is an understatement she was livid at the thought that he was better than her. I know sibling rivalry exists but man that is taking it to a whole new level." Max said remembering how cold she was.
"Here is your pickle ma'am." Alec said giving Max a mock salute.
"At ease solider and thanks." Max said biting into her desired treat she loved the salt. Max then walked into the apartment followed by Alec just as Zero came out of the bathroom freshly showered.
"Alright I get to shower now!" Alec yelled running into the bathroom.
"Thanks for letting me use the shower I need to get going. Later Max." Zero said leaving.
"Later Zero." Max said.
Over across the hall Biggs had just gotten out of his shower, he quickly threw on some fresh clothes and went to go see Hawk. Since the X6 was in the other apartment complex he had a ways to walk, about six blocks where most of the X6's and X7's stayed. Most of the X6's and X7's stayed two to an apartment where X5's usually had their own place. It made Biggs grumpy when he thought about Hawk's roommate, Bubbles. Man that girl could talk forever but her and Hawk were great friends so he had to put up with her. Biggs walked into the large apartment building and walked up to the third floor where Hawk was he knocked on the door.
"It's open." Hawk said and Biggs walked in. Hawk was hanging upside down on a metal bar she had hanging in her bedroom doorway, it looked like she was doing sit-ups.
"Should you be doing those?" Biggs asked.
"Heck if I know, all I know is I am stressed and this helps relieve it. It was either this or sparing and I think that is now frowned upon." Hawk said. "Even if there is technically no baby yet, I don't even think sperm has met egg."
"I know but we both know it is inevitable and I would prefer that you not fight and risk injury."
"I will not fight even if it works off the stress." Hawk grumbled making Biggs smirk. Hawk grabbed onto the bar with her hands and let her legs down before she let go of the bar.
"I can think of a better way to reduce stress." Biggs said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Not gonna happen." Hawk said smiling and Biggs gave her a fake pout.
"Okay so humor me here come out with me tonight to Crash. I know you are not legal but with a baby you cannot drink anyway and you could pass for a twenty something so please come with me?" Biggs asked getting down on his hands and knees making Hawk laugh.
"Alright I will go, I need to get out of here anyway." Hawk said heading into her room knowing Biggs was following; hey he just slept with her seeing her room was not a big deal.
"Okay so which top the red halter or the black bikini top?" Hawk asked holding the two up. Biggs eyes sparked with anger.
"No way are you wearing either of those, a baggy T-shirt will do just fine." Biggs said going over to her dresser.
"So that mean the purple tank top and low rise jeans got it." Hawk said much to Biggs's relief.
"Now that I can live with but just a warning Max, Alec and I have this friend Sketchy and he has an obsession with women so he will hit on you just ignore him." Biggs said pulling Hawk with him out of her apartment as the two made their way over to Biggs's bike. Biggs got on and Hawk got on behind him wrapping her arms around his well-toned waist.
It did not take long to get to Crash from TC and when the two got there Hawk let her long black hair out of its holder and straightened it out so that it looked windblown and sexy. The two walked into Crash and Hawk got a lot of male and female stares to say the least. Once the two got over to the crowded table in the back Hawk was greeted by several happy squeals as Max, and Gem hugged her while Alec, and a few other X5 males shouted greetings.
"Okay Hawk this OC, Sketchy, and Normal they work with us and are great, guys this is Hawk." Max said noticing the happy expression on Sketchey's face.
"So Hawk want some bear?" Sketchy asked.
"No thanks I can't have the stuff." Hawk said and Biggs just patted her on the back smirking.
"Why not? Come on just a little?" Sketchy asked.
"She can't because she is pregnant man." Alec said and OC spit out her beer.
"Oh please tell me it is not hot boy's." OC said glaring at Alec.
"No it is his." Hawk said pointing to Biggs who was grinning.
"Oh man you all get all the hot girls." Sketchy whined and Scar just smirked patting the other guy on the back.
"We sure do." Alec said.
"Are you sure you want to be with him? I mean I am great in bed." Sketchy asked much to Hawk's horror.
"Ah Sketchy Hawk is an X6." Alec said and the other guy's eyes widened in fear.
"No way." Sketchy said.
"Yes way." Hawk said smirking her eyes glittering in her amusement.
"I don't think I have ever met an X6." Normal said.
"Yes you have you met my CO Dalton." Hawk said and OC's mouth popped open.
"Shorty was your CO?" OC asked.
"And her breeding partner at one time." Alec said smirking at Biggs's irritated expression.
"Oh no they did not." OC said and the others nod.
"They actually made teenage kids breed?" OC asked.
"Not many of us just the oldest of us I think about twelve X6's had been put into the program no copulation ever happened." Hawk said.
"Ah human speak please." Sketchy said.
"They never had sex fool." OC said.
"So you and my Golden Boy's best friend are an item?" Normal asked.
"I guess I mean technically I am his mate now." Hawk said and Biggs just grinned.
"Well yes seeing as how you are carrying his baby and all." Scar said sarcastically, Hawk just made a bunch of hand gestures that only the transgenic part of the group understood.
"Oh that was harsh." Gem said and Hawk just grinned.
"Ah she already smells of Biggs." Scar grumbled Max leaned over and sniffed Hawk who just blushed.
"Wow Biggs I am impressed." Max said and Biggs just stuck his tongue out at her.
"Oh hey guys check it out it is Mandy and some older guy." Scar said pointing to the Familiar and the other male; soon three others joined the two at their table one had a military buzz cut.
"Hey I recognize that guy he is a three star General in the army." Hawk said as two more people joined the table.
"What are they saying?" OC asked and all of the transgenic's listened in.
"So Mandy how is TC treating you?" a man with dark brown hair asked with a cheeky grin.
"Well Michael it is better then the last place I stayed." Mandy said.
"Hey that was my place!" Michael yelled and Mandy just grinned.
"So what have you got wiz?" the man with the buzz cut asked.
"Well I keep having this reoccurring vision about a warehouse and a fight but the warehouse is not in TC I checked. In the fight I die." Mandy rushed to get it all out.
"We will look into this I am not letting my kid sister die!" Michael yelled looking panicked.
"I know you don't want me to but Michael look into it I think there is more to the fight I am just not being shown what." Mandy said and Michael reached across the table and put his hand on top of her head and suddenly pulled his hand back as if he had been burned.
"What did you see?" A tall well-built blonde man with green eyes asked looking worried.
"No I cannot loose you!" Michael growled his eyes flashed black.
"What did you see?" The General demanded.
"She goes into the warehouse because I was there with Karl. Some of those acolytes attacked and mobbed her and they killed her. It was a trap." Michael said.
"Wait why were you there?" Mandy asked sounding suspicious.
"I don't know but I am going to warn brother White of this and demand he not go anywhere without consulting me or another member here today." Michael said.
"Moving on it has come to our attention Mandy that your current partner is incompetent the Conclave has decided that you are in need of someone with a genetic boost." The General said.
"Wait, what?" Mandy asked.
"Mandy the guy is a dope you need someone who is strong, we recommend someone from either the warrior breeding line or the Conclave." Michael said Mandy looked terribly upset.
"One question with whom will I loose the least amount of children?" Mandy asked looking ready to cry.
"With someone from the Conclave." The blonde man said.
"I choose someone from the Conclave." Mandy whispered, those at the other table could tell she did not want to be having the discussion.
"Good we have someone in mind, Nate here." Michael said coldly pointing to the blonde and the two just nodded in understanding.
"When should she be pregnant by?' Nate asked the transgenics shivered at how cold that sounded.
"Three years from now." The General said much to Mandy's relief. She was young and with her impending death she did not want to have her family suffer a double loss.
"I sensed yesterday that you were upset, why?" Michael barked at Mandy.
"Well Karl seems to believe you are stronger and a more capable fighter." Mandy ground out; at the other table they could see the small muscle in her jaw pop out.
"Do you want to exchange him for another?" Nate asked.
"No I trust him, but in the middle of a room full of our former and possibly future enemies I do not need him questioning my strength and ability to do my job." Mandy said and Michael nodded.
"I will talk with him about it." Michael said but Alec could see that the guy looked pleased.
"If there is nothing further this meeting is adjourned." Mandy said and they all clasped arms and departed. Michael suddenly turned when the others were out of the bar and looked at the table full of TC residents and their friends. He smirked evilly at them before creating a fireball in his hand discreetly and flashed it at the group before he made it disappear as he exited the building.
"I now know why Mandy is so against her brother." Hawk said.
"Is it just me or did anyone else get this evil vibe from him like he is just bidding his time until he will kill us all?" Max asked as Alec pulled her closer, he must have sensed it as well.
"No he is definitely a bad apple." Biggs said pulling Hawk closer as well. In the future they were going to have to watch that guy and hope to get on Mandy's good side otherwise they were screwed.
