Logan finally got to the top and looked over the city. It was a broken city and despite his intentions and efforts he could never really change that. Logan took a step forward. The few cases that he had succeeded in were nothing. He took another step forward. The guys he put away would only be replaced. Another step. The system of police force that was built to protect the people had been turned against them. Another step.



Max got to the top of the space needle after driving the bike a long time. Hoping maybe she could go up there and clear her mind. What she found though surprised her. A male figure that looked a hell of a lot like Logan was practically on the edge of the tower. She looked closer. It was Logan. What was he doing here? He didn't like heights and he had no reason to be here.

Logan took another step towards the edge and if he took another he would surely fall to his death. Panicked by the thought he was slowly creeping to suicide she froze for a split second.

"Logan?" She asked shakily. His figure went stiff a second and then he looked up at the sky. She said it a little louder this time.

"Logan." He cocked his head to the side over his shoulder obviously perplexed although she couldn't see his face except an outline of his perfect profile. He thought he saw something behind him so he turned his head and upper body around slowly. He looked up into large brown eyes and a concerned by beautiful face. Shock over took him. He forgot to breath for several seconds. He turned around completely. His mouth slightly open and eyes creased in confusion. This had to be a dream or some type of apparition he thought.

Max stuttered slightly.

"Wh- what are you doing here?" she looked around her nervously. Her thoughts were originally filled with thoughts of him and that blond expressing their affection in more physical terms. His expression didn't change in the least and he didn't move a muscle. Max began to grow nervous at the closeness of Logan's body to the edge. She moved towards him and looked over the edge for a second before she put her hand on his arm and guiding him away from the edge.

Logan looked down at her hand as if not feeling it but just seeing it. Logan felt her hand on his arm. Maybe he was dreaming. But he wasn't. Her hand was really there and she was really in front of him and she really was standing in front of him. He looked hard into her eyes for a long time trying to detect any change in her. He pushed it out just to make sure.

"Max?" she smiled weakly.

"Hey." She said it for lack of something better to say. He moved closer to her looking down at her. He smiled a little still slightly unsure. He left an inch or two between their bodies. He lowered his head. His lips barely touched hers unsure and she pressed against him and he instantly pushed into the kiss. His arms instinctively held around her waist and her head. Max's arms went around his shoulders. She felt like she could have cried. They held onto each other tightly as if one or the other would flee from their arms. They kissed passionately.

After long moments they released their lips and rested their foreheads on one another.

"I thought you were dead." He whispered. She smiled.

"I was. For a minute or so but the loving people at Manticore decided they enjoyed my company. Unfortunately for them I was not pleased with the room they put me in so I left." He kissed her lips again briefly. Her smile half faded and she looked slightly uncomfortable.

"Who was that women at your pent house with you. The blond?" He smiled at her sympathetically guessing what she had thought.

"A colleague and friend. Just a friend." He emphasized to her and kissed her harder again. Her arms tightened on him as relief washed over her and she was so happy to be rid of the dread and heartbreak that had engulfed her minutes before. Of course longer explanations would be revealed later but for now they just needed to be together. They stood there for a long time holding each other.
