Luv, in the broken world
Max's
2 am and she was staring out the window looking down at the street. Thoughts racing through her head. Mainly about Logan, but also about the safety of the transgenics. She turned her gaze back over to her bed were Logan lay fast asleep.
The virus is gone, she thought. But something still seems to be missing between us. She had to get out.
She slipped into a pair of blue jeans and put on a t-shirt and she snuck out of her house. Trying not to wake anyone.
Space needle
Max slowly crept to the ledge.
"Hey there." Max said.
"Hey," Alec said, sitting at the edge, which was usually occupied by her.
"When did this become your hang out?" Max asked taking a seat right next to him.
"A while ago." Alec said, "When me and you were going through our little thing. I would come up here and think of why you were treating me the way you do. And how I couldn't do anything about it. I knew talking to you was out of the question. But you really hurt me and I needed somewhere to go."
"I guess this doesn't change things..." Max said taking her hand and putting it on his shoulder. "I'm sorry."
Alec laughed, "Yeah your right. It doesn't change things."
"Well a girl had to try." Max said smiling.
"Max, what are we going to do about us?" Alec asked looking at her sympathetically.
"Us," Max said.
"Don't take it to seriously." Alec said. "I meant us in general."
"And you're talking about...?"
"Transgenics,"' Alec said.
Max's face turned red and she said, "Oh,"
"It's only going to get worse." Alec said.
"They know about us and I guess they're not taking it to light." Max said, "They can't deal that there are better species out there."
"And they're not." Alec said. "And they're never going to."
"I know." Max said.
"We have to do something about this."
"Can I ask you a question?" Max asked.
"Shoot." Alec said.
"Do you love Asha?"
"I have strong feelings for her." Alec said. "But I don't love her."
"Oh,"
"But I do love you." Alec said.
"Alec," Max paused. "You know about me and Logan. I thought you gave it a break."
"I did." Alec said, "But Max."
"Alec." Max said. "Don't."
"We can't be with them." Alec said.
"Why?" Max asked.
"They're not like us." Alec said.
"You know they know about us and accept us." Max said. "Logan and Asha are different."
"But don't you see." Alec said. "Sooner or later when we're ID'ed they're going to get caught in the crossfire and they're going to die. And we can't blame it on anyone but us."
"Well what are you going to do?"
"Asha and Logan need to be together, like in the beginning. Me and her were in one of those labor classes and I felt so out of place. This is Logan's kid. He needs to be there. And maybe with us out of the way, they could have feelings for each other besides the feelings of them sharing a child."
"Coming from your demented mind I never would have thought I'd be saying I agree with you." Max said. "I can't be with Logan."
"You know what?"
"What?" Max asked.
"Love sucks."
"I couldn't agree more."
Harbringers HQ
"Any news?" Cole asked Agent Jones as he stepped in his office.
"Yes," Agent Jones said, "We are getting more and more information from the Familiar's computers and they are planning on attacking the transgenics using a bomb of some sort that would take them out."
"And when is this going down?" Cole asked.
"Soon, sir."
"Well we'll have to front row tickets to see the fireworks go down." Cole said, "And news on the fleeting Reds? We need to take down those lying bastards."
"No sir."
"Oh well, keep on the mission of finding 452 ok?"
"Yes, sir."
Alec's
Asha awaken from her sleep to the sound of a zipper.
"Hey," Asha said Morning breath and all.
"Hey," Alec said putting a suitcase to front door.
"What's going on?" Asha asked.
"I'm leaving." Alec said.
"Why?"
"This isn't right, Asha." Alec said. "You need to be with Logan."
"But what about you?"
"You know I'm here for you and the baby but I need to be away from you." Alec said, "For your own safety."
"You talking about the exposure of the transgenics?" Asha said, "That's nothing."
"It is," Alec, said, "It's really big. And you need to be with Logan."
He headed out the door.
Max's
Max was taking a shower when she heard her front door open. "Who's there?"
"Alec." He said making his presence known.
Ok," Max said getting out and putting on some sweats and a Tee. "What's up?"
"You tell Logan yet?" Alec asked.
"When I woke up I found this." Max said handing him a note.
Me and O.C. went to the market to prepare for a fabulous dinner.
Love, Logan
"You need to let him know." Alec said.
Just at that, moment the front door opened and Logan entered with Original Cindy.
"Hey guys," Max, said.
"What are your bags doing here?" Original Cindy asked.
"Alec's moving in." Max said.
"And who's living with Asha?" Logan asked.
"You are." Alec said.
"Whats going on?" Logan asked looking at Max. "Are you two together again?"
"No," Max said, "It's a long story."
"I know when its my cue to go." Original Cindy said heading out the front door. "I'll go see Asha."
Alec and Logan took seats as Max paced the room. "Logan, me and you cant be together."
"Why?" Logan asked. "No more virus."
"That's not the reason." Max said. "We can't be together until this whole transgenic thing is dealt with. Plus you need to be there to build a bond with Asha."
"Max," Logan said grabbing her arm.
"Logan," Max said. "I thought about this long and hard. So, don't make this any harder than it already is. I can't see you. I think our relationship should just be on taking down the familiars and Harbringers not on each other."
Logan stood up. He realized what Max was saying was the truth and he felt bad. "Max, I wish things were different."
"So do I." Max said. "I wish I were normal."
"I'll get my things." Logan said.
Max looked to Alec who had a sad look on his face. "Cheer up, Max."
He went to the bathroom.
"Max," Logan said, it came as a whisper.
"Yes."
"You still my girl?"
"Always."
Suddenly in an instant there,their worlds changed forever as Original Cindy burst through the front door. "Guys come quick!"
They all headed outside to see a crowd of people gathering around the lamppost.
As Max and Alec made their way through Max couldn't contain herself when she saw what she saw. The tears came flowing out of her eyes.
"No," She heard herself whisper. "Not Joshua."
"This is what I meant." Alec said.
"We need to do something."
At the top of the lamppost Joshua was hanging. Strangled, bloodied and bruised. Dead.

Author's note: Sorry to Joshua lovers. I too love him, but this had to be a crucial element to the story where Max and Alec had to take notice that they are different from others. The story almost over so please stick around.
