A Road Not Taken

Disclaimer: Hey I don't own any Dark Angel Characters, including but not limited to Max, Logan, Asha, and Rafer.  They belong to James Cameron the man who re-sunk the Titanic and his friend Eglee.  I also do not own any quotes such as Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken or lines from songs by the Calling, Train, and even LeeAnn Rimes.

Summery: AU.  Results from a mistake drive Max away.  Logan learns to live again only to find that Max isn't as far away as he thought. M/L UST ANGST!!!!

Rating:PG-13 to cover my butt.

AN: Ok people, though this is a M/L fic brace yourselves and don't hate me too long.  You may not like this future I've created. It may be slightly disturbing to all of you who have Logan and Max married with 2.3 kids and a dog named Fido. But I promise you the end will be happy and should please all M/L shippers so don't give up prematurely.

AN2: ok don't hate me again.  Oh and please tell me what you are thinking; contrary to popular belief I am not psychic.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I too the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Prologue....

"Mom? Where are we going?" Hannah asked her mother once more as they tore down the streets of LA.  For as long as she could remember Hannah had been on the run with her mother.  At twelve Hannah decided it was time she ask where they were headed. 

Before it had always been an adventure but now, well now Hannah just wanted to have a normal life like all her friends.  Hannah wanted to have friends that she could count on, she wanted to talk about boys and get her first kiss, but with the way they were always moving around she never had the opportunity to get close to anyone.

It had always just been her and her mother, but now Hannah wanted more. 

Hannah knew that she was different then the others and not just because of her frequent flyer miles so to say, she'd always been smarter then the others and faster, and stronger.  And well just plain more then the other kids.  Like her mother.  But Hannah had learned early on that Mom's past was not a topic that they discussed, ever.

"I don't know Hannah.  I don't know," her mother offered quietly.
