Disclaimer: Syl, Krit, Logan, etc. all belong to James Cameron and Co. Any other thing not mentioned in the series belongs to me but if you want it, go ahead and have it...blah, blah, blah. You know the drill.
Some Things: I'd just like to take this moment to explain why I've written the things I've written from Act 1 through 6. I pretty much tried to stay as true to the characters and the season as much as I can while writing this fanfiction. If you come across any terms that might not make any sense, it probably doesn't. A lot of it just comes to me either in the middle of the night or the middle of the afternoon.
Each chapter reveals some type of
Logan's the most difficult. As Max is a part of Manticore and everything involving Manticore, Logan is part of everything: Manticore, The Reds, and pretty much all the bad guys in the U.S., making his part even more complex in this story.
I have a lot more to say, but Ill do that next chapter.
Act 7: Why?
Warehouse
[Syl approaches Logan and attempts to have a conversation with him]
Syl: [Approaching Logan] Here are the cables you requested. [She hands it to him]
Logan: Thanks.
[Syl, who's clearly uncomfortable, isn't sure what to say]
Syl: Ummm... [She starts shaking]
Logan: [Notices her problem] Original Cindy [He calls out]
[Original Cindy looks at Logan]
Logan: Grab the meds in my car. Now! [Holding Syl]
[Original Cindy looks at Syl and gets the drift. She heads over to Logan's Aztec and searches for a bottle of Tryptophan.]
Krit: [Loud tone] Sis!
[Krit immediately comes to help his sister and Lydecker checks in to see what's all the fuss about.]
Syl: [Looks up to Logan as he cradles her in his arm] Why are you doing this? [Continues to shake]
Logan: Shhh. It's alright. We won't let anything happen to you. [Trying to calm her down]
[Original Cindy hands Krit the Tryptophan and he immediately places several pills into her mouth. Lydecker, trying to lend a hand, gives Syl a glass of milk to wash it all down.]
Krit: [Worried look in his face] She's not doing to good.
Lydecker: [Observing] It's seems like the older you kids get, the worse the seizures become.
Logan: [Concerned] How do you stop it?
Lydecker: We can't. The only place to go is Manticore but putting you into the hands of that "Bitch" is something I'm not considering.
Krit: Glad to hear that.
Logan: Renfro.
Lydecker: The one and only.
Logan: This isn't the right place for her. It'll take a few hours until the effects of the seizures calm down.
Krit: [To Logan] Where do you propose we bring her?
[Logan reaches into his pocket and takes out his cell-phone.]
Logan: Bling. Hey. I need you at the warehouse ASAP. Thanks.
Krit: Who was that?
Logan: That was Bling. A close friend of mine. He'll take Syl over to my place and watch over her until I get there.
Krit: No way. [Overly protected] I don't know this guy.
Original Cindy: Krit....It's Aiight. Bling is a good man. He won't let nothin happen to your sis. Promise.
Krit: [To Logan] Nothing better happen to her.
Logan: You have my word.
Cut to Manticore
Madame X: Initiate Phase 2 of our plans.
Dr. Ryder: You think she's ready.
Madame X: Are you questioning my choice in this matter Dr. Ryder?
Dr. Ryder: No ma am. I'm just con....
Madame X: Keep your concerns to yourself. If god wanted me to be concerned, I would have had a family with a white-picket fence, a dog, possibly a cat, and waiting for my husband to come home from work.
Dr. Ryder: I just want to let you know about the possible damages you are about to cause.
Madame X: I'm aware. Now, Phase 2. In or out Dr. Ryder?
Dr. Ryder: Here in Manticore, "In or out" is the synonyms for live or die. [Looks over to his assistant] Prepare to initiate Phase 2 for X5-452: Project Gemini.
Cut to Fogle Towers
[As Logan is preparing a sandwich for himself and soup for his guest, Syl wakes up and finds herself in unfamiliar territory]
Syl: [Looks around] Krit! [She calls out]
Logan: [Rolls in with a tray of soup and a glass of milk] He's back at the warehouse.
Syl: [Surprised] Logan. Where am I?
Logan: [Calm as a mouse] I believe it's the guest room.
Syl: Yeah, I get that. This your place.
Logan: Yep. The warehouse isn't exactly St. Jude's Hospital. It was better off if you rested here.
[Syl continues to look around amazed with the beautiful art displayed throughout the room, then she notices Logan in the wheelchair]
Logan: Hungry?
Syl: [Grabs the milk] No, but thanks anyway. [Looks at his chair] What's up with the chair?
Logan: [Avoiding the subject] I'll put the soup back in the pot. If you get hungry, I'll heat it up for you.
[Realizing he's not up to talk about it she starts something else.]
Syl: [Drinks the milk] Why are you doing this?
Logan: Doing what?
Syl: [Stunned] Helping me. Us. Krit and I.....and......Max?
Logan: [Looks out of his window] Is it important for you to know?
Syl: [Noticing the sadness in his eyes] Not a lot of peeps out there willing to put there necks on the line to keep us genetically-engineered soldiers from getting captured.....or killed.
Logan: [Turns back to Syl] I'm not most peeps.
Syl: [Faint smile] I've noticed that.
Cut to Warehouse
Krit: She's gonna be okay right? [Still worried] I mean, Logan is going to take care of her?
Original Cindy: Boy, you don't have to worry about your sister. Precious won't let anything happen to her.
Krit: [Weird expression] Precious, do you mind if I ask you why you call him that?
Original Cindy: Cuz that's what that man is.
Krit: Precious.
Original Cindy: Yeah.
Krit: Why?
Original Cindy: It's complicated...too complicated that Original Cindy ain't even gonna go into it. Now, not to be rude or anything, Logan's precious. My "Precious." So don't be go out there callin him that cuz that's my name for him.
Krit: [Smiles] Don't worry, I wouldn't dare dream of it.
Original Cindy: [Satisfied] Good. You're alright. [Krit continues to smile]
Cut to Fogle Towers
[Syl walks around Logan's penthouse admiring everything from his furniture to his choices of art. She's been here before, only once, but she didn't exactly stop and take notice.]
Syl: [Looks at a piece of sculpture] Wow
Logan: [Noticing the sculpture] What's with it with you X5's and cats?
Syl: What?
Logan: [Takes the sculpture from her hand] Goddess Bast. The Goddess that comprehends all Goddesses. [His eyes saddens] Eye of Ra, protector, avenger, blah, blah, blah. [His voice trails off]
Syl: [Clearly impressed, she suddenly sees a sketch of Max in an exquisite gown on his couch] She meant a lot to you didn't she?
Logan: Who?
Syl: My sister Max.
Logan: She meant a lot to a lot of people.
Syl: But you the most.
Logan: Where is this going?
Syl: Lydecker told us something. Something that kinda took me off guard. He told us you were...I mean...you are in love with her.
Logan: Am I that transparent?
Syl: So he was right?
Logan: The sketch is actually from memory. [Flashback to when Max exits the ladies room in her gown at Jam Pony] Max and I attended my cousin's wedding a few months ago. She wore that dress to fit in with the crowd. As hard for me to admit, she was stunningly beautiful with or without the need of fancy clothing. She is beautiful as is.
Syl: You're right. She is beautiful. [Looks towards the kitchen and then to Logan] You know what? I'm kinda hungry, I think I'm ready for that soup now.
Logan: Be back in a few minutes.
Syl's POV.
Lucky sister. Yeah Max, I'm talkin to you. You got it made. Cool friends, steady job, a roof over your head, and to top it all off, you got a guy like Logan. Honest for the most part. Caring. Completely and utterly devoted to you. I'm glad you have him, but I can't help but feel slightly jealous. But it doesn't matter. We're gonna get you out. We just have to.
End of Act 7: Why?
Writers Note: Syl and Krit are very unknown characters to us that I had to come up with some type of personality we might come to expect from them next year. Krit trying to be a good 'big brother' while Syl is trying to understand the strange and rare relationship between Logan and Max.
