Title: Coming to Terms

This was all my her fault. If she had just a greed to go with him, they would've been able to fight their way out. She knew there was no way Alec would be able to tackle White and a bunch of his goonies by himself though. So here she stood, the last line of defense between Alec and god only knows what. There was no way she was going to let them take him back. Or worse. As much as she hated to admit it, Alec meant to much to her. 'Of course he means to much to you. He's the world's best punching bag.' Oh god if only that were it. As much as she hated to admit it, Alec was growing on her. 'Yeah growing like a fungus on a rock.' Unfortunately there were virtually thousands of reasons why she would never be able to admit it to him. He was right. She wasn't the same person she was before Manticore burnt down. 'God. He hadn't even known me then, and yet he can read me like an open book. Creepy.' Maybe that should of told her something though.

'What is taking them so long.' She knew what it was though. There was no way Alec would go down without a fight. He was pure Manticore. She must have been hiding in this tree for at least two minutes. Far too long in her book. She was directly above what she could only assume was the van they would try to load Alec in. 'They'll never know what hit them' she thought to herself. Too bad. It'd be great if Alec was conscious when this all went down, but she doubted he'd be coming out of there walking. As if right on cue, the doors to the museum flung open and she could hear White barking orders to his lackies.

"Put it in the van. We don't stop until we reach the loading zone. I want everyman in the back with him. He doesn't get unshackled for anything. Keep him sedated."
br
'That answered one question. Alec's out like a light. But alive.'

While two of White's mean opened the back doors to the van, two others hauled Alec over to it. One was walking behind them, armed with what she assumed would be a tranquilizer gun. Tow of the others had already gotten in the cab of the van, and one had presumably left with White. She jumped out of the tree, landing on the two at the van doors,. She quickly reassembled herself and while the other two tried to get Alec in the van for a quick getaway, she disabled the armed guard with a roundhouse kick to the stomach. This left the two in the van and the two guarding Alec. Grabbing the two in the van from behind, she threw them out of the van and shut the door on her and Alec. Just as she was turning around she noticed the two up front aim at her from inside the cab. She blurred towards them and heard a loud klunk as their heads came in contact with the dashboard. Fitting through the small window, she discarded the bodies out the doors and turned on the ignition. Shed have to come back for her baby later. But it was safe. Looking into the rear view mirror she could see Alec's unconscious form rolling around in the back.

"Idiot deserves a couple of bruises after what he put me through tonight," she chided quietly to herself.

It wasn't that far to her place, but she couldn't very well keep the van. White would undoubtedly be tracking it somehow. Still two sectors from her place, she pulled over in front of an apartment complex. While leaving Alec in the van she looked around for an easy steal. There was an unlocked blue SUV a couple of cars back. She reached under the hood and after connecting a couple of wires, the engine roared into life. She ran back to the van , and opened the back doors. He was still there, not moving, but completely shackled. There still appeared to be no one around so she simply pulled him out and dragged him to the SUV. Lying him in the back seat, Max shut the door and jumped behind the wheel. She could ditch this later once she got Alec back to her place and out of harms way. As long as he was in his drug induced state of dreams, he was no help to himself.

"You owe me. Big time."

And with that she sped off into the night.
