A/N: Hey evry1. I no i've been taking ages to update. I really am sorry but I'm back at school and dnt really have a chance to write.


Max exited her cell and headed towards the showers. It had been a month since the night in the gym where she had named everyone in the unit and she had been in a great mood since then. After her shower she went to grab some breakfast.

"Hey everyone" She greeted as she sat down at unit 3's table, beside Marco.

"Why'd you get here so late?" Biggs asked sounding suspicious.

"I had another training session with Alec yesterday" she glanced at Bec (738) "and then some other stuff after lights out, so I needed a shower this morning".

Max and Bec had been training every other night for the past month, Bec had insisted they make the training sessions more frequent so she would show more of an improvement sooner. Max taught her to the best of her abilities and it showed. Bec was getting better and better at sparring but she was still no match for Max.

Bec had not only improved at sparring but she was also becoming more confident. She had been socializing more with her unit and as well as X5's in other units too.

As unit 3 chatted away Max glanced at Vad who was staring intently at Bec. Max watched him curiously until he caught her eye. She gave him a questioning look then inclined her head towards Bec, silently asking a question. Vad blushed and quickly looked away. Marco watched as Vad dodged Max's gaze with steadily reddening cheeks.


As Trainer Barnes stood at the front of the room lecturing Unit 3 on the proper tactics for undetected infiltration, Marco watched as Max stared at Vad with a small smile on her lips. He frowned slightly as Vad turned and blushed when seeing Max. Something was definitely going on.

Marco waited until Unit 3 was walking down to the shooting range to approach Alec.

"Hey Alec" He said a bit uncomfortably.

"Hey" Alec answered not detecting the unsure waver in Marco's voice. "What's up?"

"What would you if two people in the unit started-" He looked at Alec with his eyebrows raised, Alec just looked puzzled.

"Started what?"

"You know.. ... like dating or something" Alec stopped walking and turned completely to face Marco. He knew that Marco had a thing for Max and he still didn't know how he felt about it. Dating on the other hand, was another matter.

"Why do you ask?" Alec replied carefully, trying to appear nonchalant. Marco shrugged.

"Just wondering" Marco said, walking towards the shooting range.


Alec walked into the rec. room and slumped on the couch. He closed his eyes for a second, composing himself.

"Hey man, what's with you today?" Biggs asked sitting beside him. Alec ran his hands over his face and sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"You missed a target at the shooting range, you haven't missed a target since you were like ten"

"So, I was a little off" Alec replied, his voice rising with his increased frustration.

"Then in history you couldn't answer that question"

"I wasn't concentrating"

"Exactly! Why weren't you concentrating?" At that moment Max entered the rec. room, chatting to Lyn. Alec looked up, staring at her, completely ignoring Biggs.

"Oh. that's why" Biggs rolled his eyes. Alec watched as Max walked over to Marco and whispered something in his ear, causing him to laugh. They seemed so comfortable together. Alec stood up and made his way over to Max.

"Training. Now" He said angrily. She looked at him confused.

"We just had training yesterday"

"And we're having it today too" Alec said it as if he was talking to a little kid "Be in the Gym in 5". Without giving Max time to answer he walked off. Marco, who had been standing beside Max the entire time, exhaled loudly.

"What's up with Alec?" Axle asked walking up to Max and Marco.

"I don't know" Marco said quickly, walking off to join Biggs on the couch.

"I'm going to find out. Later" Max smiled at Axle and exited to rec. room.


Max marched down the empty corridor, heading for the Gym. When she finally reached it she slammed open the door and stomped into the large room.

"What was that Alec?" She stood with her hands on her hips and a very angry look on her face.

"Don't know what your talking about" He replied, not looking up from the mats he was putting on the floor. He felt so much anger towards Max and Marco and a little voice in his head told him he was jealous. He ignored the voice and decided he was angry because he was their C.O. He couldn't have a couple in his unit. It would interfere with their training not to mention missions.

"C'mon, you've been acting weird all day"

"Let's just get started, okay?"

"Not until you tell me what's with you"

"Just get on the damn mat 452" Alec yelled angrily. Max was surprised, but she complied. She walked onto the mat and stood opposite Alec. Alec looked at her face but he refused to look into her eyes. He knew what was going to be there and he didn't like it, he just needed to blow off some steam. If he saw the fire in Max's eyes he probably would've reconsidered doing it this way though.


Alec walked back to his cell with a slight limp. He made a metal note never to spar with Max when she was mad, especially with him. As much as he hated to admit it he had over reacted a bit, not that he'd ever say it out loud.

"Wow! What happened to you?" Biggs chuckled as he watched Alec limp towards his cell. He did not look happy.

"Let's just say I had a run in with the the Hulk". Biggs raised an eyebrow, clearly not knowing who or what the Hulk was.

"You know, the green, muscly guy" Alec sighed as Biggs shrugged "From the movies and stuff"

"How do you know? We are never allowed to watch movied, unless it's for a mission or something"

"I had that mission at the comic convention a couple years back" Alec opened the door to his cell and stepped inside. "Anyways, I'm stuffed. Good night"

Biggs put his foot inside the cell before the door closed.

"What a second, why was it angry?"

"Who?"

"The Hulk?" Alec sighed, not wanting to tell Biggs, relunctantly he opened his cell door wide and gestured for Biggs to enter.


Everyone filed into the conference room silently. Director Renfro sat at the head of the long table impatiently, she ahd plans for this unit and she wanted them to start now.

"Unit 3. You have proven that you are the best unit in this facility. But even the best unit can be imroved." Renfro abrubtly stood up, almost making them jump.
"We have decided to create a new unit, it will be made up of the best soldiers of all three facilities. Every soldier in all of the facilities will be put through rigorous testing, the soldiers with the highest scores will be put into Special Forces."

Unit 3 sat there, perfect posture, taking in all of this new information.

"The reason I am telling you all this is because you will not be present during the testing."

A small murmer erupted in the unit, they didn't understand.

"We are sending you on a mission."
