Spoiler: hello goodbye


Logan was so surprised that he did not answer. "Logan what were you doing at the warehouse?" Max yelled at Logan. Logan finally snapped out of his surprise and said,"Why did you follow me Max?" "I followed you because I thought something was wrong."

Max said in a little lower voice. "Now answer my question Logan." Max yelled at him in a loud voice. Logan moved passed Max and into his workout room to get out of his exoskeleton.

"I will tell you about it after I get out of the exo Max." Logan said. "You know what forget it Logan I'll call you in the morning." Max said as she headed for the door. "Max wait." Logan yelled as he got out of the exo and into the wheelchair.

"Logan I said never mind I don't care what you were doing at the warehouse." Max said as she opened the door. Max was about to walk out when she heard Logan yell. "Max I found a cure." Logan yelled. Max froze at the door.

Max stood there for a few minutes until she heard Logan's voice. "Max are ok?" Logan asked as he wheeled up to her. Max turned slowly around and looked at Logan. "Max." Logan asked with concern in his voice. "Did you say that you found a cure?" Max said in a very low voice.

"Yes that is what I was doing at the warehouse." Logan said looking into Max's eyes and she was looking back. They stood like that for a few moments then Max got enough courage to talk. "How much money did it cost you?" Max said in a little louder voice.

"It did not cost me anything Max." Logan said as Max walked passed him to his window. She always went there to think. "If it did not cost anything how did you get it?" Max asked as she stared out the windows. Logan wheeled up infront of her.

"The man that you saw in the warehouse with me his name is J.C. and he gave it to me for free because he had a lot of it." Logan said and Max turned her head toward Logan. Then she looked at him and asked,"How long does it take for it to start to take affect?"

"It takes 12 hours and then the virus will be gone for good and if it does come back he has antidote for it." Logan said as he looked into Max's eyes. "So it does work?" Max asked "Yes he garnered it to work. Max you aren't scared are you?"

Logan said. "Yes I am scared that it might not work and when I touch you you will die." Max said as she looked back out the window again. "Max I promise it will work." Logan said. Then he left to get the cure.

When he came back he was walking without his exoskeleton but Max was still staring out the window so he got back in his wheelchair and wheeled over to her. Max turned and looked at him. "Do you what me to give it to you or do you want to do it yourself?"

Logan asked, "I'll do it myself." Max said as she carefully took the syringe out of Logan's hand. She injected it into her arm and then put the syringe on the table. "I fell tiered. I'm going to go to sleep ok."

Max said as she got up and headed to the guestroom and went to sleep. Logan took a shower and then went to bed he could not wait for tomorrow when he could finally touch Max without dyeing.

The next morning

Logan was up before Max and was cooking breakfast. Max got out of bed to the smell of eggs and bacon. She walked into the kitchen and saw Logan cooking. He was standing up but he was not warring the exoskeleton.

"Logan why aren't you wearing the exoskeleton?" Max asked. Logan turned around. "I don't need it anymore my spinal cord has recovered thanks to Joshua's blood."

Logan said as Max sat down and Logan handed her a plate full of food. "When will 12 hours be up?" Max asked before she started to eat. "It is up in 15 minutes." Logan said as he started to eat.

15 minutes later they were in the living room playing chess. When the game was over Logan sat next to Max. "The virus is gone now." Logan said as he outstretched his hand to Max.

Max took it and looked into Logan's eyes and could see nothing but love. They kissed. "I love you Max." Logan said. "I love you to Logan." Max said.
