Comments: Okay, as far as Aveta knowing about Max without touching her, If I remember right she can sence vital signs with out touching. (she did when Logan was sick) So she could tell about Max's eart beat and I'm thinking maybe Max gave off some sort of indication about the rest. I hope that clears it up.
Thanks to everyone for all the responces. Wow! I really didn't expect any.
Command center
Max walked into the command center and looked around. It had been quiet lately and she wondered how long it would last. Max noticed Alec and Mole talking by the computers, once agian Mole was saying how he would do things different if he were in charge.
"Look Mole," Alec began, "Max has been living with the ordinaries longer than either of us. She knows how to handle them."
"Yes," Mole countered, "We all know how much Max loves to handle the ordinaries."
"Thanks for the vote or confidence Mole." Max said sarcastically. "Nice to see your on my side of the fight." Mole and Alec turned toward Max.
"Max, I'm just saying that your not equipt for this anymore, living out with these ordinaries," He said the word as if it were a nasty taste in his mouth, "Has made you soft. They are willing, no they want to kill us and you still want to make some kind of peace with them. Come on Max, your fighting a lost cause."
"So what do you suggest we do." Max asked. Mole was really close to ruining her good mood.
"Leave this place, go find someplace that we can live without all this."
"And where exactly is that Mole?" part of Max wanted to beleive that was possible, but she knew there would never be any safe place until people understood that the transgenetics were no threat.
"I don't know, somewhere." Mole sat down turned to one of the computers surveying the security cameras.
"Look Mole," Max said as she walked up to him. "I know this all is frustrating, but I need to know we're on the same team here. If you're not up to all of this just say so and you can go do your own thing. I would hate to see you go because I need you here, now more than ever. Most of all I need you to trust me." Max paused for an answer, when she didn't get one she continued. "I know I can count on you Mole, question is what can I count on you for? To be with me or agianst me?"
"I'm with you, for now."
"Not for now Mole! There is no for now, I need a yes or no, for as long as this takes."
"I can't give you that answer, not now. But for the time being, I'm on your side." Max sighed, this was a battle she didn't need. It was one thing to have issues with the people outside the walls of terminal city, but fights within could destroy everything they've worked for.
Max looked at a loss for how to respond to Mole's admission. "Alright." She said finally.
Mole got up and walked out. "I need a beer."
Turning back toward Alec, Max caught him staring at her. "what?" She asked.
"You, normally you would have threatened to kick Mole's butt. And then you would have threatened mine for staring at you. What's going on?" Suddenly Alec's face widdened in shock. "You did it didn't you?"
"Did what?" Max acted like she didn't know what he was talking about.
"You had sex! S. E. X. Sex!" Max let out a small smile. Alec couldn't beleive it, "About time! So where's Logan, did ya tire him out?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Max responded with a cryptic smile and seeing that every thing was fine she left Alec with a silly grin on his face. She knew it wouldn't be long now till all of TC knew, but suprisingly Max didn't care.
Logan's quarters
Logan had managed to get most of the festivities from the night before cleaned up. He was about to fold his blanket when there was a knock at the door. He opened the door and smiled when he saw that it was Max. "Hey"
"Hey yourself," she replied, "We need to talk about what's happened."
'This doesn't sound good.' Logan thought, but all he said was "Okay."
He led her to his bunk and they sat down. Logan found himself almost scared to hear what she had to say, everything was finally starting to be perfect between them.
"I don't think we should tell anyone just yet." Max started. Logan felt a wave of releif come over him.
"What ever you think is best Max, I won't say a word. But you know," He placed his hand on her flat, tone belly, "After a while someone's bound to notice the little bulge."
Max placed her hand over his and sighed, "I know, we'll deal with that when it comes. BUt right now I don't need to give anyone a reason to say I'm unfit because I'm carrying our child." She looked into Logan's eyes, "Our child, I like the sound of that."
Logan smiled, but then he turned he conversation to a more serious tone, "Mole giving you a hard time?"
Max broke the eye contact and looked to the floor. "He doesn't think I have what it takes to handle everything. He says we should find some quiet uninhabited place to live, out of the way of the 'ordinaries'," she made quote marks with her fingers to emphasise the word. "But that would only work for maybe a few years, and then we'd be running agian. This needs to stop."
Logan new there was nothing he could say right then, so he just gathered her up in his arms and held her close.
"Logan, the virus." Max reminded him.
"I don't care." And he held her closer.
