Disclaimer: I don't own Dark Angel, or any of the characters that have appeared on the show. If I did I would have been spitting mad at FOX for that stupid move to cancel my show in exchange for a show about cowboys in space. Go ahead and sue me if you really want, some of us have a few choice words for you. (Just stay away from my Beatles Box Set)

AN: Sorry this is taking so long but the dialogue is just not getting out of my head and onto the computer screen, though I do know what I want the major plot lines to be.


Chapter 2

"Thanks Josh, the Mac N Cheese was magnificent." Alec smiled patting the large dog man on the back.

Joshua smiled, clearly happy with the praise, "Alec stay, keep Joshua company see Annie again."

Max walked into the room, confusion and concern on her face, "Who's Annie?"

Shit Alec thought, remember you needed to remind yourself to tell her. Ah damn, she's gonna kick my ass. "Um a blind girl, her dog kind of honed in on Josh, she thinks my face in Josh's face." Well if she does kick my ass maybe she will kiss it and make it better afterwards. A slow smile spread across Alec's lips.

Over an hour later Max was kissing the top of Joshua's head, "I'm sorry big fella but she isn't one of us, she's not safe unless you stop seeing her."

"Joshua only want to be happy like little fella happy with medium fella" Joshua sorrowfully spoke, his face a mesh of emotions.

Alec stepped up from the doorway in which he had been listening, "Josh buddy, Max and I are both transgenic, it's different. Hey even Max couldn't see what a hot commodity she had in her own genetically empowered backyard."

Max shot Alec a venomous look, "You want to be going home alone tonight?"

Alec paled, "God no!"

Max rolled her eyes and turned to give Joshua a hug, "I'm sorry big fella it's just the way it has to be.

"You know I didn't appreciate you're little speech at Josh's." Max spat as they entered Alec's apartment, "You don't know all that much about me, like I know you think you think you do."

Alec shut the door behind them, shrugging off his leather jacket. "Max I know you better then you think I do."

Max continued on into the bedroom, shrugging out of her own leather jacket, "Just because you know what sexual position I prefer and my favorite spot on your body doesn't mean you know all that much about me."

Alec leaned against the door frame of his bedroom, "Actually I don't know what your favorite part of my body is, you will have to tell me later, or better yet show me." His seductively smart aleck grin spread across his handsome face.

Max scowled, damn it I can't think coherently when he smiles at me like that. "At ease soldierboy, you aren't changing the subject here."

Alec's grin got bigger as he took a step into the room towards her, "Ahh Maxie, you are losing your touch…you only call me soldierboy as a term of endearment."

"We really should talk about this Alec, instead of just always hitting the sheets." Max sighed, taking a step towards him.

"After…we'll talk after." Alec whispered, his mouth coming down to capture hers.

Max groaned as they fell back onto his bed, just as her beeper went off.
