The True Escapee Part 6
Disclaimer: You know the deal, there not mine, blah blah blah (god I wish Alec was thou)
Summary: Final chapter but depending on the responses I might do a squeal!!!!! Rating: M15+ ????????? Don't know how American ratings work Authors Notes: Sorry this has been a long time coming but this was my final year of school and things kind of got hectic. Also a really really big thank you to all writers at Nuns with Pens, you keep me inspired and a special thanks to Kerr for the greatest Max/Alec fanfiction ever, aftermath (can't wait for the new chapter) and for you support when it comes to people with attitude problems. And of course REVIEWS ARE MOST WELCOME! Don't forget to keep hassling FOX, Breeders - it was going to be our season! ---------------------------------------------------
Max sighed as she pulled up next to a payphone, she needed help. She had been cruising the streets for the last hour. So much for the need for training. She hadn't been able to find any trace of Tia.
Alec was sitting at home with a textbook when Max rang. Quantum physics had always interested him. Now that he had no one telling him what to do and more than a little spare time he found himself drawn to the subject. The idea that in a parallel universe Max could be his was highly appealing.
Alec quickly shifted through the papers on the floor to find his ringing phone
"Alec"
"It's Max, we have a problem, meet me opposite Crash in ten"
"I'm busy"
"Tell her to go home this is important"
Alec knew he should correct her but right now he didn't have the energy to start an argument with her "Fine, see you in ten"
Alec ended the call and couldn't help smiling. Max needed his help, not that she had said that but she might as well have.
***Fifteen minutes later***
"You're late"
"Sorry I had a shower" Max just rolled her eyes "So what do you need my help with" Max glared at him
"Tia knows I'm an X"
"What the chick from work, how the hell did she find out!"
"Logan told her and I..."
"That's it, after we fix this Logan is finally getting that bullet to the head" Alec yelled
"Hey Alec, calm down! I mentioned Manticore and I told Logan to tell her, I wasn't going to"
"Ok, now I'm completely lost"
"She's an X-5, but she only just found out, that's why she ran, that's why we have to find her before she does something stupid" "Ok, why do you need my help"
"Because I've been looking for that last hour and I can't find any trace of her"
"Fine then, if you just found out the reason you were made, where would you go"
"Somewhere away for others, somewhere safe"
"So were is that?"
"Well she is new to Seattle so somewhere she has at least seen before"
Both stared at the ground thinking of where the X-5 could possibly run to for escape. Both suddenly snapped their heads up
"Spaceneedle" they said in unison.
----------------------------------------------------------
She heard them coming, she had always been able to sense things before others, now she knew why. There was two of them, by the sound of them one bigger than the other. Tia silently jumped up to the ledge above the window and waited for them to show themselves. -----------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe we got it wrong" Max said
"I don't think so, she'll turn up. But right now I need some air." ------------------------------------------------------------
Tia was waiting for them, she hadn't been able to hear their conversation but it was clear they were taking their time. Her mind quickly calculating her possible actions.
A man, about her age dressed in dark denim stepped through the window below her and made his way towards the ledge, only the flicks of blonde in his hair made him stand out to a normal eye. He stood for a while enjoying the view his back towards her making it impossible for her to get an ID on him. She carefully moved along her ledge trying to get a better look when she saw him tense.
"Damn it" she thought, he had heard her
As he began to turn she readied herself. This was going to be hard but it was the only way to deal with the person still inside at the same time. Tia counted to two in her head and pounced.
She landed on the man and held onto him as he lost his balance. She held her grip as they slid closer to the edge. The man was kicking out at her while trying to stop their continuing slide. At the last moment Tia released her grip and used her momentum to pull herself into a standing position, just inches from the edge of the Spaceneedle. The man continued to slide head first down it's smooth surface. Tia grabbed out at the last second and caught him by the leg as he went over the edge. She held him there as she heard him swear.
"Don't move" she yelled pointing over her shoulder at the person that had climbed out the window at the commotion "and give me one good reason why I shouldn't drop his sorry arse!"
The man went to reply but before he could say anything his was interrupted by the sound of laughter coming from the person behind them coursing Tia to turn.
"Because he's with me" Max managed to choke out over her laughter, tears now streaming down her face.
Tia narrowed her eyes before lifting the man back on to the ledge.
"That was impressive, who taught you to do that" Max asked approaching Tia
"No-one, I thought myself. I've only ever had to drop one"
Tia looked back to the man getting to his feet and her eyes widened before narrowing into a glare
"You, if I had known it was you I would have let go, no questions asked"
This statement only served to send Max into another loud round of laughter
"This is Alec, he's one of us too" Tia just continued to glare at Alec
"I think I'm going to like you" Max told Tia as she whipped her eyes "Do you have a place to stay?"
"Not really"
"Well, I've got a friend that wouldn't mind a room mate. What are you like with dogs?"
"Great, I love them"
"Good, come on it's been a big day, come on pretty boy your hair is fine"
Alec glared at Max and headed back inside, Max turned back to Tia
"I've wanted to do something like that to him for months, you'll have to show me how you did it" Max whispered
"I heard that" Alec yelled back at the two girls
Tia couldn't help smiling, she was finally where she belonged.
