Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story, they all
belong to James Cameron's Dark Angel, of course! (Although I wish I could,
coz the show shouldn't have stopped after the 2nd season!!!)
Author's Note: This is my first fanfic, so please R&R!!!
~This story is based after the virus is cured. That's probably the only thing I based my story on from the show. The other stuff, I made it up, besides the objects the characters use in the story like the Ninja and the Aztec. It isn't set in a certain time period, I'll explain later the whole situation better when I actually have a better understanding of the story myself!~
Chapter 1
'AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!' a short, sharp, piercing scream shattered the stillness of the air.
Max woke up from her cat nap, the hairs at the back of her neck stood up as she made her way closer to the sound. She had come to an intersection and peeped around the corner, just enough to see a lone figure crouched up in a tight ball mumbling strange words as if gone mad. Max cautiously crept towards the figure.
'This must be the 5th girl I've rescued in the past few weeks. This is getting even more stranger by the minute.' thought Max.
The figure was a little girl, about 12 to 13 years old and had mattered hair. She wore a ragged cloth over her body and her feet had lots of blisters. Her eyes were bulging out of their sockets and there were tearstains on her dirty face. There were recent scars on her face which were bleeding and a big chunk of flesh on her right arm had been burnt off. Max winced at the thought of the pain and slowly crept in to comfort the girl, the girl started mumbling strange words and was obviously scared. Somehow, Max was able to carry the girl out of the sewers and take her to Logan's apartment in a matter of minutes to join the other four girls she found just a few weeks back. There was definitely something strange going on and Max had to ask Logan about it.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
"So, what do you think?"
Max was in Logan's apartment, leaning on the desk in the study area. Logan was sitting at the desk, typing ferociously away on the keyboard. As soon as Max had arrived at Logan's place, Logan had taken out the first-aid kit and fixed up the scars and burns, only the ones that he could do. Max called up Dr Carr and the Doctor soon had the girls arm in a bandage. They had tucked the girl in bed, with the other four girls Max had found, in the guest room.
"Huh?" said Logan slowly looking up into Max's brown eyes trying to put the most innocent face on as if he hadn't heard a word she was saying, but really, he was all ears.
"As I was saying." said Max, annoyed that Logan hadn't listened to her, "don't you think it's strange that I've happened to find 5 stray girls in the sewers in the past few weeks? I mean, its not everyday you bump into this sort of coincidence. Do you think that there's something going on out there," Max waved her hand towards the window meaning the city, "that we don't know of? Maybe we should question these girls and see if they have anything related to each other."
"I don't know. Don't you remember that these girls have gone mad and can't exactly speak proper English?"
"Maybe there's something out there scaring them? I found the girl just then because I heard a scream. Maybe someone or something is out there on the loose picking specific girls around the same age?"
"Maybe" Logan mumbled, deep in thought and typing on his computer again.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Logan couldn't think, not now. Not as long as Max was in the same room as him. He was sweating very heavily and was covering up his nervousness by typing stuff on the computer. Every time he looked at her, he felt this weird tingling sensation that he'd never felt before. He thought this was because he hadn't been going out that often so he dismissed it off his mind.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Max walked off into the kitchen wondering what was wrong with Logan. Was it stress? Logan usually wasn't this uptight. The only time she ever remembered when he was uptight was when they had found a temporary cure for the disease she once had and was sad because they had wasted their precious time kicking butt rather than 'getting busy' as Joshua would have put it. Max decided to make some dinner for both of them. Though she knew she was a hopeless cook, she also knew that this would amuse Logan very much. She set to work getting the cucumbers and tomato out of the fridge and started chopping them very slowly and steady.
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
Max had just finished the salad she had just made and some mashed potatoes when Logan walked in with his exo-skeleton on. They both got a shock. Firstly, Max hadn't expected Logan to come in just yet and Logan had thought Max had left his apartment ages ago and was going to fix himself a light dinner. But seeing Max standing behind the bench top with a knife in one hand a chopping board in the other topped up with a flowery apron tied around her waist and her hair tied up into a messy bun on top of her head to get her hair out of the way, all Logan could do was stand there and laugh. Slowly Max couldn't help but laugh too as she realised what a sight she must be to him. Logan had never seen Max in this get up before. She only ever wore tight black leggings and a tight black jacket, which she wore at night or her Jam Pony outfit consisting of a tight blue three- quarter legging, a black jacket and a cap put back to front on her head.
"Want some salad? I know it may not be that good but at least I tried." asked Max, holding out the salad bowl with a small grin on her face.
"Mmmm." mumbled Logan as he picked out a cucumber and popped it into his mouth.
"Here, try some mashed potatoes. Don't blame me if they taste a bit weird."
As both Logan and Max sat down and ate their salad and mashed potatoes, there was a crash in the guest room. Both Logan and Max had totally forgotten about the five girls who were meant to be sleeping in the guest room.
They both rushed inside to see the whole room a mess, but no sign of the girls anywhere
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
"Where could they be?" asked Logan frustrated, "Why would they even want to run away from us when we were the ones that gave them an actual bed to sleep in! It's just so impolite to do this!"
Logan and Max had cleaned up the mess, after trying top find any sort of clue like a message or just anything that would tell them why or where they had left. They were now in the study area with Logan sitting at his desk and Max leaning against the table. Logan was hacking into the police system for any sign of five girls on the escape.
"By the way, why were you in the sewers when you heard the 'calls of a damsel in distress'!" asked Logan, adding the figure of speech in to lighten the tense atmosphere.
"I was just, you know, walking about.getting some fresh air"
"In the sewers?"
There was a brief uncomfortable pause as neither of them spoke.
"Uh huh!" pronounced Logan proudly, "Five girls around the age of 12 have been seen in sector 5 around.there!" He points at a flashing red dot on a map of sector 5.
Before Logan could turn around and tell Max to be careful, as always, she was already off on her Ninja racing down the streets to sector 5.
"Gone to save more damsels in distress!" mumbled Logan as he turned back around and faced the computer screen with a picture of Max in a beautiful red velvet dress with a scooped neck and her hair in a fancy bun with a few strands of wavy hair, that had escaped, dangling in front of her face. There was also a tiara placed just on top of her head and to Logan, she never looked even more prettier than that.
Logan had never shown anyone or told anyone how or where he got that picture from, but he always kept it open under his documents on screen so that no one knew.
