DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of these characters; they are the brilliant
creation and property of James Cameron, FOX etc. I do own Faith and some
minor characters, but you know the rest.
SPOILERS: Takes place after Freak Nation - the imaginary season 3.
Chapter Four:
"So what do you think?" "I think it's a good idea. When can you get it happening by?" "The building can be up and running by the end of the week. It was just an idea we had so that if X's go into heat, there is a degree of protection - a safe house." Alec nodded at the suggestion by the two transgenics and smiled, that sorted that. He hoped that was all they wanted, "Great. Well go ahead. Whatever you need, let one of the guys here know. I'll bet Joshua will love to help you out. Paint the place or something. You should ask him." "Thanks 49...Alec.", Rye replied as he and Cece were ushered out of the room, having the door closed tightly behind them. Alec wedged a chair under the handle - he would put in a lock tomorrow. He turned to face Faith, who was staring out the window. He crossed the room and planted an arm around her waist, his other hand stroking her hair away from her eyes. "Where we were?", He murmured against her soft skin. "Nowhere. At least we are now. It just probably isn't the best time for us to be doing anything. Well definitely not the right place...I better go." Faith moved to the right, but he blocked her. She stepped to the left and he followed. He laughed and she rolled her eyes at him, "Tag. You're it." "I don't feel like playing games Alec." She stepped to move, but he deterred her again. She eyed him and shrugged, before pouncing on him, knocking them both to the floor. She sat on his chest, leaning in and kissing his with heated yearning. His hands fell to her ass and one continued along the curves of her body.
The doorknob turned, but the door seemed to be jammed, it wasn't opening more than an inch. "Alec?" Max's voice called out through the gap. Faith smirked smugly at the magnificent X5 and brushed a quick kiss on his lips, "Now what did I say?" She removed the chair and smiled at Max, before leaving headquarters. She glanced over at Luke and Dix, who were staring at the stunning transgenic. Dix winked at her, "Trying to move up in the ranks?" She laughed, shaking her head.
"Thought I told you to get some sleep." "Did. I had about an hour. Plenty." "So what's up?" Max arched her eyebrows at him suggestively, "You tell me..." Alec looked down at his crotch and quickly moved behind the desk. Why on earth hadn't he noticed? "I'm bored Alec. I'm restless and I want something to do." Time was when he had felt for her, many of his fantasies had started off this way. Alec mentally sniggered and shook the thought away, "There are lots of things to do around here Max, just find something you want to do and so be it. I'm not going to tell you what to do. You just got back, why not spend some time with Logan?" He knew that last comment was a shell crusher, but Max just pouted in protest, "But you're my commanding officer." "Not to you I'm not." Max sighed and pushed back her long brown hair. Her chocolate eyes regarded Alec warily and he evenly met her gaze, "Why don't you head over to the training centre and give the kids some lessons on battle moves.", Alec told her finally. "Yeah okay. Thanks Alec." She turned and left. Alec was disorientated. Time was when if he had given her an order, he would have been slaughtered. But now, she was craving the orders. She was being nice and he really didn't know what to make of it.
"Hey." "Hey, I think I'm on the right track for this. I'm getting really positive feedback results.", Faith told Max earnestly, her body encased in a white sterile lab coat. "Really?" "Yeah, I'll have to play around a little more, fine tuning, but it looks like I should be able to contain the virus and eliminate it. For good. But Max, it's only a chance, not a definite thing." Max nodded. Faith was smart, she had been puzzling over the virus for the past fortnight. Max knew that Alec was moping around, she had heard him complain to Briggs about how he hadn't seen Faith since that day in the office. She had tried to tell Faith to take some time off, it wasn't urgent; but typical Mantecore, she was determined to finish what she had started. Max left and walked over to a pouting Alec, sitting on the steps of headquarters. "She wont budge. Stubborn." Alec continued staring flatly ahead. "I'm sorry this isn't convenient for you.", She sarcastically shot at him. He eventually grinned at her and leaned his head back, his face feeling the splash of cold water as it started to rain. They continued sitting there, both enjoying the icy feel of the water. "I don't blame you Max. When she is ready to see me, she'll see me. I can't push it and so if she is prioritising your virus, so be it. The sooner she finds a cure, hopefully the sooner we can all get busy. I'm willing to wait...There's my imparted wisdom my dear. The wise man has spoken." "I believe he has." She smiled sadly and Alec draped an arm around her shoulders, "She'll beat this bitch, Max. I have no doubt of that. In case you hadn't noticed, she was built smart. She is without a question, the smartest transgenic here. I'll bet she knows more than Brian did." "Brain.", Max corrected, momentarily leaning into him, before removing his arm off her. "Whatever."
