Sorry for the wait...
~*~
Max took a small step toward Alec who stood his ground, "Well if you don't fight let me do what I have to do."
Alec laughed at that, "You don't need to do anything, forget about me. I don't know who you were in my past but it doesn't matter at the moment."
"It does matter! I'm your friend and I can't just let you kill your self!" Max said slowly advancing on him.
"I'm dealing with my problems on my own, and as I said your not putting that damn shot in my arm!" Alec said as he looked away for an instant fooling Max into thinking he wasn't going to do anything.
As soon as he looked back at her he charged at her. She was not prepared for this so she landed hard on her back. Using her shocked state he jumped off of her and began running for the door. Ryan grabbed him before he made it through the door and held him tight. Max was up in an instant with the Shot fully exposed. Alec began to struggle and Ryan was finding it increasingly hard to keep him under control. Max did the one thing that she could think to do.
She punched him.
Hard enough to stun him so she could inject the fluids contained into he shot into his system. Alec looked at Max with hurt eyes then went limp in Ryan's arms. Max looked straight at Ryan alarmed, she lifted his head up and saw that his eyes were wide open but they did not respond to her presence, "What happened!" She screamed.
Alec barely heard Max scream, the burning fluid and memories rushed through him. This time he didn't even have time to witness what was going on. They were so fast they made his head hurt. He was so weak he could barely move his arms... he had no idea if he was... "Tell me about Ben..." Alec said so quietly that Max had to strain her ears to hear him.
"Tell me about the Blue lady?" Alec asked sounding like Ben.
"Oh God," Max let out shaking as the memories that hit her.
"The Blue Lady..." Alec began to say then shut his mouth.
Max knew what he was going to say next. They had gotten Ben. They had gotten his memories.
Ryan picked Alec up and ran him out to the car then went back for Max who still starred at the wall. "Come on," Ryan said softly as he lifted her up.
"Alec's gone..." She said tears falling down her face.
"No, no he isn't." Ryan reassured, "We can get him back."
"No we can't... he's gone... lost in his mind."

Alec opened his heavy eyes and slowly moved his head around so he could see Max sitting beside the bed with her head on his hand. Max... everyone loved Max. He forced himself into a sitting position and leaned against the wall on the other side of him. The cool tile feeling good against his hot skin, "Alec?" Max asked a little worried.
"Yes?" He answered his voice dry.
"How are you feeling?" She was scared that he would bolt at any minute and Ryan was so close to finding a cure to this she didn't want it to all go to waste.
"Tired."
There wasn't even an bit of Alec in that one word. he didn't know the power of that one word. It brought her hopes down so much. It nearly killed her. Because if they couldn't get THE Alec back including all of his soon to come screw ups she didn't know what she'd do, "I'm sorry..." She said as she moved her hand to feel his forehead.
Alec ignored what she said and asked, "How long have I been out?"
"A few days." Her heart was brought down an octave and she felt tears coming to her eyes.
Those few days were so bad, he had a high fever and couldn't stop shaking. They couldn't keep anything down him and the shakes kept them from putting in an IV because he'd just accidentally pull them out. At one point they had thought he was going to die... then it had been touch and go.
"Any idea why it did that?" He asked.
"No." She said silently disappointed that he hadn't told her it had happened before.
"Where's the doc?"
"Working."
"I'd leave but I don't think my legs can hold me yet."
That mad Max think, "Has this happened before?"
"No... just tired after them."
"Is that why you refused to let me give it to you earlier?"
"No."
"Then why wouldn't you?"
"Because I didn't want to see what I see."
"What do you see?" Max asked putting her hand on his cheek.
~*~
Well I wanted a more elaborate fight scene but I'd just make it corny so I decided against it... though if some one could help me in the part between where He tackles Max and runs for the door I'd be more the appreciative....
Well... against my will this is slowly becoming a Max/Alec romance... but the end is coming up soon.
Again, sorry about the wait, =-)
