Summary: Set many years after AJBAC, Logan is ready come to terms with Max's death
The ceremony had begun, and everything looked gorgeous. Bling who was standing diagonal to Logan, leaned over and asked him "Hey man, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm better than fine, I'm about to get married! Why do you ask...?" Logan saw Bling motion towards Logan's leg, which was tapping so tenaciously, it almost looked like he was going to run a hole through the floor. "Ok, so my case of pre-wedding jitters is starting up again... what's your point?"
Bling leaned over and said to Jake "Starting up again? When did they leave?" Bling and Jake both snickered as Logan stared at them with cold eyes.
Logan heard the wedding march begin, and his body stiffened. Luckily, he remembered to keep breathing.
In Logan's eyes, Elizabeth couldn't have looked lovelier. And Elizabeth couldn't take her eyes off of her ruggedly handsome groom.
As Elizabeth never took her eyes off of Logan's, Logan's eyes remained at the entrance to the isle, where Elizabeth had just emerged from, and to where the door to the church was.
Not understanding why Logan wasn't looking at her, she quietly asked him, as the wedding march ended, and she idly took his hand. "Logan, what's the matter?"
Still Logan's eyes would not meet hers. They were fixated on something else.
"Guess my invitation got lost in the mail." The crowd of wedding guests all turned around in one great motion to look at the mysterious figure who spoke.
Bling exhaled loudly. "Oh good lord..."
Jake leaned in towards Bling and whispered. "Who's in the wide world is that great beauty?"
"That is the reason this wedding won't happen today, if ever." Bling answered, afraid to look at Logan.
Logan just stood motionless. It was as if his feet had been cemented to the ground, and he had been paralyzed from the neck down. He blinked several times, checking to make sure this wasn't all some big dream. "Max..." Logan gulped and took one step towards her, but Elizabeth stepped in.
"Logan, honey. Who is this girl, and why is she here?" Elizabeth tried to understand, and she didn't want the hatred in her eyes to show. How much she hated this woman, who walked into this room, and it was almost as if she could see Logan's love and passion for this woman. He had never looked at her this way.
Taking one look at his bride, all Logan could say was "I'm so sorry."
Max, however was already halfway down the church stairs when Logan caught up with her. "Please don't make this harder than it is."
"Max, is it... is it really you?" Logan took in the changes of her. Her hair had grown considerably long. She was much thinner than she was when he had last seen her, making her just skin and bones pretty much. She had minor cuts and bruises scatter on her arm, and one deep gash on her cheek.
"Logan, go back and get married." Max said, as if it were an order.
Logan was utterly confused. "Go back and get married? After seeing you again, after so many years. What the hell were you thinking, coming in, during the middle of my wedding! And then asking me to go back?"
Max's eyes softened, and her body relaxed. "I just wanted to see you. Just for a moment. I wanted to know that you were ok. You don't know what I went through! What Manticore put me through! I went through hell and back to get to you. All those years! I spent timeless hours thinking of you! And I hated it. I hated that when I should have been concentrating on fighting Manticore, and trying to figure out how to get out, my thoughts were on you. What you were doing, how you were. But most of all, if you had moved on. But it looks as if my worst fears have been realized. And I accept it, I guess I have to accept it! So before you make this any harder on yourself, and myself. Please, just go in there and marry her."
Logan easily saw the tears brewing on Max's eyes. He also saw her trying to fight them away. "You'll never know will you. You'll never understand how much I loved you, how much I still love you. Seven long years I grieved for you. I thought you were dead. I couldn't live the rest of my life, with the memory of you. I needed to move on, and I did. I love Elizabeth, so much. But she'll never compare to you, or what you and I had."
"I'm glad that you moved on. Really, I am. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury. It's not everyday you find a guy whose willing to fall in love with a genetically enhanced killing machine. Sure, every few times a month I'm great for sex, but you know, after that, I'm really no use to anyone. So, if it's ok by you, I think I'm just going to go. I've already caused enough pain in your life. Please Logan, just marry her, and give 'us' the closure that it needed." Max couldn't stop the tears that now flowed freely down her face.
As Max started to walk towards the street, Logan held out his hand and grabbed onto her arm. "Max, please don't leave." Logan begged.
Max released her grip from Logan. "Just leave me be!" She hollered as she ran out into the street. Not even thinking of where she was going, not even caring.
Neither Max, nor Logan saw the car coming until it was too late...
"Max!" Logan screamed as the cars in the street screeched to a halt.
"Oh no..." Was the only thing that escaped Logan's lips.
