Summery: Alec forms a maternal relationship with someone new

Gotta thank my beta reader Whisper =) couldn't fix nearly as many tenses without ya.

Note: Yes I know I'm going for the heat story line.please don't kill me. ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

"Alecccccccccccc!" Max squealed as soon as he entered Crash. He couldn't help but freeze at the sound, not knowing whether the squeal was out of anger of excitement. He soon learned it was excitement when she ran up to him, placing a single hand on his chest. "You're finally here! There's someone I want you to meet. Can you guess?" He only stared back at her, thoroughly confused. "Come on guess." She goaded.

"Um, the tooth fairy?"

"No silly, Jondy! My sister, Jondy!" He couldn't help but notice the fact that her hand was still lingering on his chest. "Yo Jondy, get your butt over here." Soon a lovely blonde beauty approached the pair. "Jondy.. Alec; Alec... Jondy." She announced proudly.

"Wow, she said you looked like Ben.. but wow! I guess that's what the whole twin thing does though. Nice to meet you." They shook hands.

"Isn't it great after all this time trying to find her and she finds me?" Max was still overly animated with an unusually large smile on her face. She even appeared to bounce slightly as each second passed. He couldn't help but think how beautiful she looked like this. Happiness is something rarely seen in Max.

"Oh, how did Joshua like meeting Jen? Did she run off screaming?"

"Uh.. that would be a negative. I think they really hit it off. Turns out Jen is a real art connoisseur. They talked about art the whole night. I was bored to death though."

"Oh well. Can't win 'em all right? Hey come dance with me." Then she dragged him out to the dance floor, where they spent the most of the evening.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ Later that night

"Bye Max," Alec and Jondy both said in unison as Max departed.

"So Jondy, do tell. What have you been up to since the escape? Something interesting must of happened in the last 11 years."

She laughed at that. "So what, you want the whole story or the condensed version?"

"Whatever floats your boat." She spent a fair hour telling her condensed story. It most likely would have been shorter had Alec not continually interrupted.

"I can't believe you said that to Zack of all people! I mean I may have only met him for a day or two, but still wow. Your one crazy girl, you know that?" 'Wow she looks beautiful.'

Her eyes were blue, but they seemed to have the same depth and desire that he usually saw in Max's chocolate brown eyes. Before he knew it, she was kissing him. Drawing him closer to her. 'Woah wait this isn't what's supposed to be happening' he thought.

After a few more seconds he managed to push her away, "Wait we shouldn't be doing this. What about Max?" 'Why can't I seem to make myself care?' Before either could be consider the answer he was delivering a bruising kiss to her. "Wait you're in heat aren't you?"

He didn't really need to ask he already knew the answer. Soon they were on their way back to his place. He couldn't help but be extremely happy that his place wasn't any farther from Crash then it was. As they approached the building on his motorcycle, he could feel her moving behind him. Feel her hands as they moved to regions farther south than needed to hold on. They were barely in the building before his jacket was on the ground. "We really shouldn't be doing this," he managed between kisses.

"Shut up Alec," was the sole reply.

As they reached his apartment both jacketless, Alec was pushed against the wall. They were still kissing either other. They struggled to find the keys and get the door open. Fumbling they somehow managed to locate them. Once the door was open they proceeded to remove more clothing. Separating only long enough to remove Alec's shirt.

"Oh my!" came a voice from the still open doorway as she shielded her eyes a deep flush exploded over her gentle facial features. Going unnoticed Jen proceeded to utter, "Um I guess I'll be going then..Yeah." She left heading for the stair only to run straight into Max. "Oh hey Max, what are you uh doing here?"

"Oh hi. Just came by to talk to Alec about something." She moved to step past Jen. But Jen countered.

"I wouldn't do that. He. he has a girl with him."

"Oh," she said quietly then added "Oh well this it a tad more important then him getting laid." She left before Jen could stop her. For some reason she couldn't just leave.

"Alec..." she called out as she entered, spotting him and another figure on the floor still working on removing their clothing. "Whoa." was all she could say when she noticed that the other was none other than Jondy. 'Wait, what's that smell? Pheromones. Damn! This is not good,' she thought.

"Hey!" she said as she pulled the underwear clad Jondy off of a similarly clothed Alec. She growled at being pulled from her prize.

"Down girl." Max replied, only to barely catch the punch that came straight at her head. "Now is not the time to get territorial! I'm gonna get you home ok? Just snap out of it."

Jondy managed to calm down a little; obviously still feeling like there was an itch to be scratched through. She turned her head just in time to see Alec come at her and get a solid punch from Max to the head. That put him down for at least a few minutes. It was enough time to get Jondy out of there.

As they turned to leave Max grabbed the clothes the couple had shed on the way in, and passed them to Jondy.

As they passed Jen in the hallway she had enough time to give a minor explanation and told her to stay with him. Keep him there.

Jen was startled to say the least to learn of yet another error made in Alec's engineering. 'Did these people even know what they were doing when they made him?' she contemplated.

"Alec? Hey how are you feeling?" She asked the still underwear-clad boy before her. He didn't even bother to respond he simply pulled himself up and sat on the sofa. A slight buzz still going, a need to go after her. Damn Pheromones just had to stick around didn't they? The lingering effects would take a while to wear off. He knew that from prior exposure to X5 heat.

It wasn't more then a few seconds before he made a beeline for the door. Luckily Jen was prepared, ready for him to try and run; Max had warned her. She stood in his path her hands resting strongly on his arms.

"No, Alec your not going anywhere. You're staying here tonight." She stated authoritatively.

"I have too." He stated the pleading look in his eyes almost broke her heart. "I can't fight this." He continued to struggle.

"You have too, because you're not going anywhere. You hear me? You're not going anywhere. I won't let you." She felt his weight become heavier as he lowered himself to the ground at her feet. Taking her down with him.

His words came while tears slowly flowed down his cheeks. "It's too hard. It's not fair. Why does this have to happen? I hate it.. I hate it so much. I hate all of this! Why did they do this to us?" He sobbed.

"Shhhh." That was all she could say as she tried to sooth him. She stayed just as Max had ordered making sure he stayed the entire night.

Meanwhile in an apartment not to far away, Max did the same. Keeping Jondy safe from herself. Keeping her at home no matter how much she begged or pleaded. The whole time wishing she were with Alec, helping him and knowing at the same time Jen was the one taking care of him, protecting him from himself.
