Alec got dressed soon after Max left and decided to head down to command to see if the arguments had begun. He walked down the gravel road, stepping over bits and pieces of junk as he went along. To the left and right of him he glanced at new arrivals making their way to the designated area they'd set up to handle all the new comers. Some of them were X series but a lot of them were anomalies. He smiled at a passing female X who looked like she was X6. She blushed slightly at the attention and continued on her way.

Alec sighed and kept on moving. He reached the command and walked in with a big smile on his face. Only to be annoyed by the fact that Logan was yet again in Max's face growling something stupid to her. Max was just sighing as she nodded to the crap he was saying to her. Alec was about to make his way up to them when he caught Max giggling at something Logan just said, he winced as Logan put his hand on Max's lower back and started rubbing.

Mole walked over to where Alec was standing; he stood next to him with a pen and clipboard in his hands. Mole caught the look on Alec's face and sniggered silently to himself.

"Looks like Logan's taking full advantage of those gloves." He said in his scruffy voice. "She doesn't seem to be minding much either." Alec growled from the back of his throat before he could stop himself.

"What business of that is mine? If she wants to start up again with her 'not like that' boyfriend then it's fine by me." Alec said starting to walk off. Mole hurried back over to his side and smiled smugly at Alec's attitude.

"We all knew you had something going on with Max, it must piss you off just a little bit to find out that she's back with Mister Latex Gloves himself." Alec shook his head sarcastically and pulled Mole into a small gap between the computers that they had approached, in a sort of alleyway.

"Princess Max never had a thing with me. She was using me so that she could put distance between her and Logan. I suppose I shouldn't have let myself be pulled in, because, SURPRISE SURPRISE, she was all talk. I don't care that she's with him, but I'm sick and tired of being her puppet." He was right in Mole's face while he spoke, holding him by to collar. He let go after a few seconds of glaring and walked off. This time Mole just walked away. Except this time, Mole left pissed off at Max. He was good friends with Alec and the fact that she was being so high and mighty was annoying him.

Mole walked over to the computer monitor that Dix and Luke were sitting at. They were pointing at an aerial view of Terminal City that had been taken by the government a few days before.

"Well these areas here and here are being used by some of the X series, and here," Dix said pointing to an area at the opposite side of the picture, "is where the anomalies are." Luke nodded slowly and looked at a piece of paper he was holding in his hands.

"Well we need to get them all together again if we're gonna be telling them our plans." Luke turned to Mole and smiled at him. "Did you speak to Alec about the Logan situation?" he raised his eyebrows at the sheepish look he got from Mole.

"Well I didn't actually have an opportunity to speak to him about it. It seems Alec is a little preoccupied at the moment. You know how it looked as like him and Max were into each other for that little while before Four Eyes came along? Well turns out she was using our little Alec. He's pretty pissed off." Dix and Luke nodded, and turned back to their business when they saw Max approaching being followed closely (or as close as he could get) by Logan. Mole scowled as he saw them approach and Dix and Luke just laughed at his behaviour.

"Hey guys. I just thought I'd check up on how plans are going." She smiled at them but her smile faded when she saw all of their expressions. "What's wrong you guys?" They just smiled and kept doing what they were doing. Mole turned around and took the cigar out of his mouth.

"Ohh nothing's wrong. We're just trying to organize things as quickly as possible so we don't like interruptions." He turned so his back was facing her and looked into the computer screen. Logan got in front of Max and metaphorically climbed back onto his high horse.

"I don't really think that a check up by your leader is an interruption. Why don't you crawl back to where ever you came from and let Max do her job!" Mole turned around and grabbed Logan by the collar, putting his face so close to Logan's that his cigar was singeing the stubble on his chin.

"I'd appreciate if you keep your rather large nose out of other people's business. Let us transgenics do what we can do better then any human." He growled through the corner of his mouth. Logan stood gaping like a fish out of water. Usually one of his snobby comments would have been inserted among the gaping, but for once he thought better of it and did not say a thing.

"Mole let go of him!" Max said grabbing his arms. Mole didn't move and just glared harder at Logan. Alec came up the steps to where they were all standing holding a pile of papers in his hands.

"What's going on here?" he asked continuing to approach them. Mole let go of Logan and looked down at the ground, which had all of a sudden become rather interesting. Logan stood rubbing his neck where the material from his shirt had irritated.

"I was introducing Logan to my cigar," Mole said as Dix and Luke sniggered. Mole smirked and backed further away from Logan and closer to the monitors. Alec shook his head and walked over to Dix handing the papers over to him. Logan stood with his eyes wide at the apparent respect all of the transgenics had for Alec. 'What freaks' he thought and shook it out of his head, max was one of them how ever much he wished she wasn't.

"What ever, just make sure that you keep on setting up the meet. We need to get this place operational. I have sent out some Xs to pick up some supplies. They should be back soon with food, medical supplies and Gasoline." Mole nodded sheepishly and turned to look at the screen. Luke smiled and then grunted as Mole punched him as hard as he could in the arm. He mouthed 'Ow' and rubbed it.

Alec walked away checking the clipboard he had grabbed off Mole. Max went after him and Logan as always was not far behind. Alec heard Max's footsteps and started walking faster. She caught up to him after a minute of him walking out of command and grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.

"What the hell was that? And why are you pissed off at me all of a sudden?" Alec saw Logan walking down the street after her and pushed her into a near by building and closed the door. He shoved Max against it and she tried to get free of his hold but she was truly stuck in it.

"Listen Max. Although I love your little chats, it's about time that you get something into your head. We have a city to run for these people. I'm sure that you and Logan have big plans for this place but at the moment we have to do what needs to be done. We have more people arriving every hour and you're not doing anything about it." He by now had some how grabbed her hands and put them above her head. His knee was in between her legs and she kept struggling trying to get free. "Don't bother trying to get free Max. You don't really think that with Ten more years of training under my belt you could actually win against me. I'm stronger, faster and better trained. I never want to actually fight you. And if you ask me kicking a guy in the balls is cheating."

"What are you organizing here Alec? I want to know. And that's no reason to be pissed off at me." Alec sighed and backed away from her. Max stayed backed up against the door and when there was a knock she knew it was Logan and stayed against it. "Just wait a second Logan. We'll be out in a couple of minutes, just go back to command for now ok?" when there was no reply she'd figured he'd gone so she went over to stand near Alec. She looked at him expectantly and he sighed again.

"You're not doing your job Max," he said deciding not to tell her that using him pissed him off. "Do it and I'll be happy. And I mean actually do it," he said interrupting her as she went to speak again. "None of this Logan as Puppet Master shit. You can do the job much better then he can. And the fact that I'm organizing shit is because I was made for this sort of thing, it's what I do. So trust me," he said pushing the clipboard he had been holding into her stomach. He walked to the door and opened it, sighing yet again as he walked out. He shook his head as he looked to the left and kept walking.

Max followed after shortly and when looking to her left saw Logan standing right beside her. She sighed and smiled at him. He smiled back and looked at the clipboard she was now holding.

"So what was that all about?" he said with that patronizing voice that only he could manage so well. Max shook her head as she spoke. "Oh nothing really, just a miscommunication." As they walked back to command Logan grabbed her hand casually and she accepted it.

***

Logan sat at the monitors while the transgenics talked on the platform below. Max was out getting things from her old apartment to put in the one in Terminal City. They were laughing, chatting, and joking with each other like they were all old mates. Joshua's laugh rang louder than the others did and it sickened Logan that they were so nice to each other.

Logan was checking some of the security camera's they had set up around the perimeter of Terminal City and was watching a main gate that was being patrolled by sector police. He saw a big Ute come rolling up that was connected to a large trailer behind it. 'Alec wouldn't be so stupid as to tell the supplies teams to come barging through the main gate would he?' Logan thought as he typed to get a close-up on the window of the Ute.

"Alec would you come up here for a bit, I need you to check something." Logan kept watching the screen as Alec came and looked over his shoulder. "Do you know who that is?" He said pointing to the face now peering out the window. She was chatting to the police casually as they asked what she was doing there.

"No I don't, but I wish I did." Alec said looking at the screens. The girl was pretty, and she was smiling at the cops with such an amazing smile. "Hey Mole come up here and check this girl out." The girl was nodding to the police and smiling at them largely. "Zoom the Camera out." Alec said and Logan nodded, typing in the command to zoom out. To their surprise, the police were unlocking the gates and letting her pass into Terminal City. The girl looked up at the camera and smiled again. She shaped her hand into a gun and pointed it to the screen. She mimed shooting at it and as Mole came up the steps, the screen went fuzzy and turned into static.

"What the hell!" Logan said wheeling his chair back from the computer screen in shock. He lifted his hands off the keyboard in surprise. Alec took his place and punched in a command to get the screen back. When it came back to the gate the car and the girl had disappeared.

"What did you call me up here for?" said Mole Angrily at Logan. Alec shook his head unbelievably and Logan ran his hand through his shortly cropped hair.

"There was a girl on the monitor in a Ute with a trailer behind it. The cops let her straight through without any questions and for a moment there it looked like she shot out the monitors. Wait a second I'll get what we were taping." Logan went closer to the Screen and typed in some commands. "What the fuck is going on!" He typed again and nothing came up on the screen. "Alec did you stop it recording?" he said still trying to get the play back screen up.

"No of course I didn't. Do you think I'm stupid or something." Logan raised his eyebrows sarcastically at the question and Mole growled at Logan's misconduct.

"Well it wasn't recording we didn't get anything," Logan said shacking his head.

"What did the girl look like?" Mole said at a growl, pointing the question to Alec and choosing to ignore Logan from now.

"Well she had blonde hair from what I could tell. She had a nice smile, blue eyes I think. I don't know apart from that. We could just see her out of the window of the car." Alec said scratching his head. Mole smiled through his cigar and turned to leave when Logan asked, "do you know who she is?" Mole turned quickly again.

"I'm not sure." Mole said still smiling. He went down to where Dix, Luke and Joshua were standing and clapped Luke hard on the shoulder as he whispered something to them. Alec walked away from the monitor and out of command. He was standing at the entrance when he heard the approach of a car. He looked up to see the Ute pull up right in front of him. The girl he'd seen on the monitor now wearing sunglasses was now looking right at him. She smiled and turned the engine off.

"Well well well," she said to Alec still smiling. By now he'd started smiling back, what could he say, that smile was infectious. "If everyone here's as cute as you I know I made the right decision to move here." She said very matter-of-factly. It sort of freaked out Alec to her a girl say something so like what he would say. He smirked at the thought and she kept speaking. "Do you know where I could find a guy called Mole.? If you know him that is," she finished nodding. Alec was about to say something when from behind him he heard a big laugh.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in!" Mole said making his way up to the car. The girl in question opened the door quickly and ran over to Mole and swung her arms around him. He hugged back just as strongly and she pulled back to whisper something in his ear. He laughed again and Alec took a moment to look at the girl in full view. She was wearing very baggy pants and a large hooded jumper. When she put her long hair behind her ears, he saw that she had weird earrings.

"Well where are they?" the girl said grabbing a rubber band from her wrist and tying her hair up. Alec glanced at her barcode shortly before he saw Dix, Luke and Joshua come out of the door being followed by Logan. She saw Dix and Luke, gave a squeal of delight, and hugged them both around the necks possessing quite a bit of strength. "You guys have been so busy, I'm so proud of you guys."

"Harva, Long time no see," Joshua said smiling largely when she looked at him. She grabbed him and gave him a hug just as big as the ones that he always gave. Alec watched in disbelief when he looked at her neck. The moment she touched Joshua her barcode faded away until her neck was bear. She stopped hugging him and pulled back gently, a tear coming down her cheek.

"I'm sorry Joshua, I'm so sorry." She said, more tears falling down her cheeks. Joshua lifted a finger to wipe away her tears. She ran a hand to the back of his neck and started scratching there softly. He laughed and bent his head back. She then moved her hand to his cheek and he looked into her blue eyes as she spoke. "You've done well Josh." She lowered her voice to a whisper that only transgenics could hear. "Father would be proud of you," she bent his head down and kissed his forehead. Joshua pulled her in for another large hug, tears now streaming down his face as well.

Logan and Alec both stood silent and confused. Alec was wondering who the hell this woman was and how did she know Mole and everyone. Just as he was about to ask a familiar Ninja pulled up and Max hopped off. She smiled at everyone but soon shared the same confused look that Logan and Alec had on their faces.

"Hi everyone?" she said walking up to the small group of people now assembled. Joshua stopped hugging the woman Harva and pulled her over to near Max.

"Max. you have your family. Now I would like you to meet my sister. Max this is Harva." He said and Harva held up her hand for Max to shake.

"Might as well meet my new leader." She said smiling her big smile. Max took off her glove and shook the hand in front of her. Harva's eyes for a couple of seconds had a strange look in them as she shook Max's hand and then she smiled nervously as Mole grabbed her around the shoulders and pulled her into command. The others followed shortly after and Max stood outside with Logan and Alec who were still confused.

"Who is she?" Max whispered to Alec, who shook his head and walked after the group heading inside. Logan came up beside her and glared at the new arrival.

"I don't like her," he said catching up with Max who had started to walk as he talked. 'I don't like her at all,' he thought as he watched all the transgenics get acquainted.
