Max cautiously flipped open the file and noticed Logan's eyes flickering her way, but he tried to concern himself with the file in front of him. It was hard, considering that he could focus on many thoughts at once so he had to try harder to keep one minded right now.

Max looked over the first page. It was just general statistics such as age weight and so forth. The second page showed a physical report when he first went there. Like how his vision was and how much weight he could lift and a bunch of nonsense like that. The next page however was another physical. It was one taken after he had undergone the changes. 'Damn!!' That was all Max could think. She looked over the file reading about how his performance had overall increased about 9.5 times than his previous state. She turned the page. It was a list of all the injections they had given him and a map of his new genetic structure. The injections included donations from X5's mostly but there were a bunch of other names of Manticore projects she could not figure.

'I suppose they thought they would create one super human instead of many little projects' she mused.

Some injections were from animals to increase the performance of his senses significantly. The last injection caught her eye. Feline. She looked back up to Logan.

'Oh boy. Logan in heat. That will be one interesting attribute should he acquire the male version of it.' He caught her looking at him and turned towards her.

"What?"

"Nothing I just…" She really didn't want to bring it up but she knew it would happen sooner or late. "I wanted to… well never mind I will talk to you about after you went over this." Now his curiosity was eating at his gut, but he held himself and promised himself he would go over it thoroughly later.

After the injections page there was a test and ops page. Generally reporting on his efficiency. All of his ops inside Manticore grounds were performed proficiently and quickly. She turned to the last page, which was notes on his performance and behavior from his officials. She looked through the titles of names giving the evaluations. She finally came to Renfro's comments. Max knew she impacted Logan the most considering she was the director now. Max scanned over it quickly not really caring what this bitch had to say about Logan but she knew she did something to Logan. Basically she wrote about how pleased she was with him and his improvements every day and how she planned to use him. 'Sick bitch.' But she also wrote about how he never went further with his opponent then he had to which made him untrustworthy and unreliable. It meant they still hadn't broken Logan Cale. When Max couldn't gather any more from the files she tossed them back to the counter. Logan's eyes fell to the file but he didn't reach for it. Max got up and walked behind him. He turned around to face her. He didn't know if she would react to what was in the file or him. She figured their lives were complicated enough already to even go there so she would talk to him about the feline DNA thing later. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he followed her example by putting his hands around her waist so she could rest her head on his chest. He was like one solid brick wall. But he was also a very warm and comforting one. They just stood there like that for a bit. They had been denied this way to long. Max pulled her head back and up to kiss him. It didn't really matter what else was going on just that they were right here in this moment just being together.

Of course all good things end. Alec came back in.

"Honey I'm home." Alec shouted as he entered the apartment. Logan sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Don't get to comfortable because I am looking every where to find you a place of your own."

"Nah it doesn't call for that I think I will just stay here with you." He walked into the kitchen. "Well then again I guess I don't think I could stand hearing you two every night doing your thing." Alec smirked.

"Don't think I don't know about you and your sexual frenzies you have when you are out on an assignment. I know perfectly well how good a time you have. And believe me that if I ever find out that while you are still here you bring a girl back to do your thing, I will break your wrist." Alec smiled an innocent smile.

"Me?"

"Yes you. And you know I would do it to." Alec's smile slightly lessoned remembering the time the put him against Logan in combat and Logan thoroughly whooping his butt. Logan thought Alec was too cocky so he needed to bring him down. Alec was mad as hell at Logan for a while because he gave him a broken pinkie. A small price to pay considering Logan could have killed him in under a second but he liked that pinkie. Alec decided to take the conversation to a more agreeable topic.

"So is that girl Asha gonna be around some more?" Logan raised his eyebrow and laughed.

"You know she may be a girl and she might be a norm but with the training and weaponry she has not to mention her temper she could kick your butt any day, and I think she is planning on doing it too."

"Now we all know that is a lie. I mean who could bet and X5? Right Max?" It was the first time he directed the conversation to Max. She rolled her eyes.

"Well based on my knowledge of your character, I think she has enough weakness to take you out." Alec pretended to look hurt.

"My personality? A weakness? I always thought it was a very attractive and addicting thing." Logan snorted.

"The only thing you have attracted were girls with IQ's below 5. I really wouldn't take that as a compliment if I were you." Alec replied.

"Yeah and like you have ever had creative sex with someone who didn't know anything else?" Logan rolled his eyes again.

"I am still shocked to death they didn't shoot you while you were back there."

"Yeah me to." Alec said with wonder in his voice but then put on a big grin.

"You kept telling me how you could cook, so now is your chance to prove your worthiness." Logan lifted an eyebrow.

"Why not." Max released Logan so he could get to work on preparing dinner for them.





A/N- Yes I know a really boring chapter and definitely not one of my best Alec Logan scenes huh? I need to go watch a Zack episode before I write any more scenes with him, and yes you all did it. Now I am officially obligated to write a Zack Kendra scene. Oh boy that is going to be hard to pull off. Ok I think you all know where I am going with the feline DNA thing right? I am keeping the possibility open that my next romance scene between Logan and Max might be umm (ahem, cough, cough.) in that context. Although I might want to save that situation for another story. ( I am curious, are there any M/A readers here? I realize that I have toned down the story a lot. More than I intended to. So I need little feed back here. I could either make this a ridiculously long story or I could make a sequel. Cuse I want to have Manticore taken down but with the action in mind I think we all know it will take more than one chapter. Who wants Lydecker back in this story?
