Out of the Future
Chapter 2: Who are you?
Crash was as it always is, kind of dark, kind of crowded, kind of everything. Max and Original Cindy were drinking and watching Alec and Sketchy play pool. Alec was trying not to beat the poor guy too badly.
"You're gonna miss!" yelled Max suddenly causing Alec to miss the ball.
"Thank you so much," he said looking at her sideways and walking over to her while Sketchy took his shot, "you're in a good mood tonight."
"I don't want to jinx it but we might have found a cure for the virus," she said.
"Those files we stole from White a few nights back huh?" he asked.
"Yeah, it'll be nice to stop worrying about killing him with the slightest contact."
"One less thing to worry 'bout Boo," said Original Cindy.
"Yeah."
"Didn't you just dump him?"
"Shut up Alec!" said Max
"Hey Alec," called Sketchy, "you're go."
"All right," said Alec smiling.
"Here we go," said OC

"Jesse where are we going?" Rachel asked the tall blonde in front of her.
"Foggle Towers," he said, "where else?"

Logan was impatiently waiting by his phone, to get the call from Dr. Carr. This could be it he thought, tapping his fingers on the arm of his wheelchair.
* ring * *ring *
Logan was on the phone like a starving dog on meat.
"Hello? Sam?"
"Yeah Logan, it's me," said Dr. Carr, "and I think we've found it."
"Tell me this isn't a dream or a very sick joke," said Logan.
"It's all here," he said.
Thank God he thought. Not only had Max and Alec crashed White's little 'kill the transgenic' party, but they had left with quite a bit more than some X8's.
"When can you have it ready?" asked Logan.
"I just need a blood sample to see if it will work."
"Thank you," said Logan hanging up the phone and dialing Max's pager.
^^^
"It's Logan," said Max, "he must have heard something."
"Well what are you waiting for girl?" asked Cindy.
"Catch ya later."
"Where's Max off to?" asked Alec coming over for a drink with Sketchy.
"Logan, he heard something."
"Hurt something?" he asked.
"HEARD something," OC repeated.
"Ah," said Alec looking over to where Max had just left.
^^^
Logan was sitting at his computer when Max found him.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," he jumped a little, "you surprised me."
"Habit."
Silence.
"Think this will work?" she asked him.
"He said he needed a blood sample to find out," said Logan, "this could be it."
"Yeah," she said quietly, looking out the window.
"Max," Logan started but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," said Max walking towards the knocks.
Max opened the door. There stood a tall woman in a black business suit. She had her black hair tied into a bun and had golden eyes.
"Max Guevara?" asked the woman.
"Yes?" asked Max a bit confused.
The woman answered by pushing Max back into the apartment. The force was so great that it sent her flying into the next room and rolling over her shoulder.
"Max!" Logan came running out at the sound of her hitting the ground.
"Logan stay back!"
She got up and ran towards the advancing woman and sent a roundhouse to her head. Max stared at her when she saw that the woman barely even moved.
"Nice try 452," she said hitting Max with her own roundhouse kick which sent Max to the floor eight feet away, "and by the way, the name's Koiohla."
"Don't move," said Logan training his gun on her.
"Whether you shoot me or not it doesn't matter," said Koiohla, "it doesn't hurt."
"What the hell do you want?" said Max standing up.
"To kill you."
Koiohla started to advance on Max once more, when Logan pulled the trigger. Blood trickled down her head where he shot her.
"Didn't I tell you?" she asked turning her head to face him, "it doesn't matter?"
"What are you?" asked Max, "and what have I done to you?"
"I am X38 and I'm here to stop what you will do in two years time."
"You're nuts you know that the next thing you'll be telling me is that you're from the future," said Max moving into fighting stance.
"2043 to be exact."
"You really are crazy."
"Shut up and die," said Koiohla rushing Max.
A tirade of kicks and punches were traded as the two were thrown into various things, destroying Logan's penthouse. Koiohla gained the upper hand and was on top of Max trying to strangle her. Max grabbed her wrists to try and keep them off her throat.
"Well if that's how you want to play," said Koiohla; her fingers then started to elongate into silver claws. Which made them only centimeters away from Max's throat.
Breaking glass was heard as a figure came through the living room windows where the two transgenics were fighting. The figure kicked Koiohla in the face to get her off of Max and then punched her.
"Get up!" shouted Rachel dragging Max to her feet and shoving her towards Logan, "Get out of here!" She kicked Koiohla in the stomach grabbed her hair and then pulling her down, kicked her over and into a wall.
A crashing sound was heard and the front doors came open.
"Move dammit!" he yelled grabbing at Logan and pulling him and Max towards the door.
"What the hell's going on here?!" said Max when they had gotten into the hallway.
"Now isn't the time for explanations," he said, "you have to get out of here."
"Who are you people?" asked Logan.
"Look my name's Jesse and that thing back there is what we're trying to stop." He said going down the stairwell, "I'm on your side, that girl that saved your ass back there is Rachel and we're trying to protect you." He looked at Max.
"But…"
"I told you I'll explain later, when we get out of here we'll head to Joshua's and.."
"How do you know about him?" questioned Max, "Who are you people?"
"Would you just…oh shit," Jesse stopped halfway down the stairs. A woman who looked just like Koiohla stood on the next turn.
"Wasn't she," started Max.
"That's Mezsima," said Jesse backing up, "her and Koiohla were twinned just like Ben and Alec."
"How do you know all this?" asked Logan.
"Can we get to safety first? RUN!" he said shoving them both back up the stairs. When they got back to the top and into the hallway, Jesse ran right into Rachel.
"Ow," she said bouncing off of him, "she went out the window."
"Mezsima's here," said Jesse.
"Wonderful two of them."
"We knew there would be."
"I have an idea," said Rachel spotting the fire alarm. She ran over and pulled it.
"They can't catch us in a crowd, too risky" said Rachel pushing the elevator button, "Let's go," she said waiting for them to climb in.
