AN: Well Asha Bashing won by a landslide, so some Asha bashing then I move on with the story. Thanks for all of the reviews by the way.
Max walked into the apartment on time for diner, but did not smell any cooking. So she headed to where she knew Logan must be, the computer room. They both knew that there were only two things that make Logan lose track of time like that, Max, and protecting the innocent; and Max had been at work all day. Plus Max knew that Logan had been very frustrated with something with eye's only lately, she just didn't know what. As much as she hated it he still didn't like to be completely open with her about things he thought would worry her. Sure enough Max turned the corner to see Logan typing furiously and looking through some sort of documents madly. Then suddenly his computer screen froze up. "GOD DAMNIT!" He screamed slightly startling Max. She knew at that second that he needed a distraction, it became her mission to take his mind off whatever was frustrating him so much.
"Well if you tell you what it is I might damn it for you, but only if you ask me a little nicer then that." Max said leaning against the door with a smirk. Logan looked over at her his face instantly softening.
"A little full of ourselves today are we?" Logan replied with a similar smirk.
"Can I help it if I am just that good?" Max said trying not to laugh at herself.
"I guess not... so what's up?" Logan was just glad Max wasn't asking about what he was working on. The truth was that ever since Asha's death Logan had been looking into what had happened. He wanted to make whoever was responsible pay. The problem was that nothing was making sense with the whole thing. Logan had gone to some of her fellow S1W crusaders to see what she had been doing, but they had no idea. In fact they had said she had told them that she was busy for the next week or two and only come to her if it was extremely important. So Logan had figured that she was doing something on her own that was either personal to her, or that she thought they wouldn't want her to do because of the danger involved. But the more Logan looked into what she was actually doing the more confused he became. He kept finding these ties with her killers and this person that he knew very little about. He was known only by his initials JWS. The only other things Logan knew was that he was responsible for many deaths of good innocent people, and that he also seemed to be after eyes only. This JWS had been trying to track eyes only for a while trying to trace hacks and he had gotten close a few times, closer then anyone else. And somehow he was connected to Asha's death. This is what frightened Logan and drove him on. What if Asha had been found out as one of his informants and that is why she had been killed? That question had been plaguing his mind, he had to know. His thoughts were interrupted by Max snapping her fingers in front of his face.
"Hey you in there Logan?" She asked the concern for him showing on her face.
"Yeah sorry just thinking, so dinner right?" At her nod he walked into the kitchen to see what he could cook her for dinner. They simply reheated some food, and sat down to a comfortable dinner together. Max tried to keep his mind off whatever was bothering him, but when it was obvious that it wouldn't work she asked him about it. At first Logan denied there was anything going on out of the ordinary. But he realized that he was going to need Max to help with this, so he might as well fill her in now, which he did. To his great comfort she was nothing but understanding and offered to do whatever was necessary to help.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Max was breaking into what she thought would be some old warehouse, but instead only looks that way from the outside. Inside it was very high tech, tons of different computers and such more advanced then she had seen. Whoever this JWS was he was not there normal bad guy. She starts looking through files in one of the many offices, everything they do, even the illegal activities were so extraordinarily well documented and organized, it was almost scaring her. She doesn't even know exactly what she is looking for, she saw huverdrone footage of Asha's death and had a good look at the guy, so now she was looking through what seemed to be employee files of JWS, which all had pictures, to see if he was in it. She picked up her next file Russell, G and when she saw the picture she almost dropped the entire thing. It was a picture of Asha, this was probably a briefing of the target that they had given her assassin. Max grabbed the file and started to sneak out of there. Max was back at her place she wanted to get changed before taking the info to Logan, but really she kinda wanted to read the file first. She wanted to make sure that she knew if there was something bad in there so she would know how to break it too him. She sat down at the table with the file and opened it. There was a picture of Asha and information about her, but for some reason under the name it didn't say Asha but Gabbie Russell. This was odd, for such an obviously high level organization, it seemed weird that they would have her name wrong. Then Max flipped the page and was completely stunned.
It wasn't information about there target, rather there informant. Her name was not Asha, but Gabbie Russell. And she wasn't really a part of the S1W or an informant for eye's only, Logan, but it looked like she was some sort of spy. She was working for this JWS and only was pretending to fight for the good to get information about S1W and Eye's Only. 'That Bitch' was all Max could think. Other then that she was just beyond stunned. There were pages on Alec, and Joshua along with some of the other transgenics. There was also information about the S1W. And there was a great deal of information on Logan as an informant for Eye's only, thank god Logan never told her the full truth, or he would be dead. Mostly though it was information on Max. They seemed very scared that a great deal, almost half of the file in fact was information about herself. Then she went back to the first page about Asha and looked at the current status it said:
Current Status: Informant 1846 (Russell, Gabbie) has been terminated. It was a necessary precaution after it became clear she was no longer that great a value to us, and she knew too much about the identity of James White Sandman.
At that second only two thoughts were in Max's brain. The first was 'I can't believe I mourned her, the bitch got what she deserved.' And the second was a lot scarier, 'James White Sandman, oh god it can't be a coincidence, it has to be Ames White is JWS.' Finally the phone rang and a new thought was added to the previous two 'Oh god how can I tell Logan this?'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Max, howd it go?" Logan asked as Max walked in the computer room later that night.
"You were right they killed Asha." Max said in a quiet voice, "I couldn't get it out of there but I saw this file about her execution....I was right it wasn't your fault she was killed." Max had intended on telling Logan the hole truth, being completely honest. "It was mine, JWS is James White Sandman, it's Ames White, it has to be. He killed Asha because she knew me and wouldn't help him get me." Max had looked into Logan's eyes and knew that she couldn't tell him. All that would do is hurt him and there was really no point to it. She hated Asha for what she had done and tried to do, but she was dead now, it didn't matter. She could pretend that Asha was a good person and that she had liked her if it would make Logan a little happier.
"Max honey it's not your fault." Logan said pulling a glove on and taking her hand in his. "It isn't your fault Ames is after you, and it isn't your fault he did this ok?" Max nodded trying to act reluctant to agree though like she would have really acted in such a situation.
"Can we just not talk about it now?" Max asked knowing that would probably be the best way out of this for her. He nodded and led her to the kitchen. He cooked her a big meal and they are and talked and even joked around and neither brought up Asha again that night.
Max later told Alec the same story she had told Logan, only this time emphasizing that it was Asha's connection to Max not eye's only and especially not Alec. She couldn't let him think he was in any way responsible for the death of someone else that he loved. But she didn't want to hurt him with the truth either.
It was hard for Max at first whenever someone would mention Asha, and how wonderful she was, what she had sacrificed for the cause. It made her want to gag, but she would nod and smile and agree knowing the entire time what a bitch Asha really was and keeping it to herself. finally she couldn't take it anymore and she told Original Cindy.
"That Bitch! I swear boo if she wasn't dead already I would lay a smackdown on her ass!" Original Cindy had just listened to the hole story and was now settling into a nice rant. "I never liked that bitch, knew there was something wrong with her. The way that slutty ass bitch used to look at your boy I always knew she was one not to be trusted. You know the only thing they did wrong by shooting her was not making it painful enough!" Original Cindy noticed Max's smile. "What?"
"Nothing it's just nice to hear something other then how great she was. And not have to hide how much I fucking hate her."
"The skank got what she deserved if you ever need to hear that or say it you know where to turn girl." Max laughed and they spent a while just bashing Asha, including making a dart board out of a picture of her, but then decided that the bitch wasn't worth it and moved onto more important topics.
"Hey boo how are you two doing with the tests?"
"We find out any day now, any minute now maybe, Sam will page us, and thank god." Max said a small smile leaving her face. "Lately it seems to be getting to us some not being able to touch, I mean we are talking more and we are doing ok I guess but it's just so..."
"Draining?" Original Cindy finished for her.
"Yeah I just hope I can touch him kiss him, I could die happy if I could just kiss him." Max was going off into the world inside her mind, but was brought back by a beeping noise. She looked down at her beeper, expecting it to be Logan about diner, but it wasn't. She knew that number, that was Sam's office number. "Oh my god." She said in an almost whisper. She ignored whatever OC was asking her ran over and dialed the number in a hurry. "You paged?"
"Yes Max I just left Logan a voice mail, because I have the tests back about the virus..."
AN: I know I am evil for ending it there. I really am not happy with the way this chapter came out and am thinking of rewriting it let me know what you think. As for the next chapter I am leaving the choice up to you guys whatever gets the most votes wins should:
1: The virus is not cured and they decide to stop trying.
2: They think it is cured touch and they were wrong and Logan dies (but doesn't regret the choice cause at least he got to touch her one last time.)
3: The virus is not cured they stay together and keep looking for a cure.
4: The virus is cured for now, but Logan will reject the cells soon enough it isn't a permanent cure.
5: The virus is cured and they kiss but decided to take it slow.
6: The virus is cured and they 'celebrate'(would not be descriptive, but would make a reference to it)
I know there are a lot of choices, that is why I am having you guys decide for me. And as soon as you guys do I will post the write and post the next chapter.
