Part 2
"I have to leave." Alec said once more, after detecting the first faint smell of Max's pheromones in the living room. He knew he had to run, run now, before they would permeate the rest of Logan's place, before there was no escape. "Now," he said defiantly and turning towards the door yet again.
"You can't," Logan said, moving to block Alec's exit.
"Logan, didn't you hear what I just said? If I stay I may not be able to control myself."
"Alec, she's hurt," his words though soft still had force to stop him from leaving. "I told you. I hit her with the chair. I had no other choice. She's hurt. She's bleeding. As she went into the bathroom she was bleeding. She slipped on the blood and fell against the mirror and shelf. I don't know how bad she is. Maybe she's cut herself more."
Alec looked to the floor for a moment, heavily considering what Logan had just said, before he lifted his gaze to the other man and said determined, "She's transgenic. She'll be okay."
"Are you sure about that? I know it's still possible for X5's to bleed to death. You guys may be transgenic but you're not invincible."
"No offence, Logan, but I doubt an ordinary such as yourself could hurt her that much, at least physically, anyway," he sneered ever so slightly.
"Are you willing to take the risk?" Logan asked.
"What is it that you want from me, Logan? Huh?" Alec suddenly barked out, both his temper and his own hormones beginning to get the better of him. "Just what is it that you think I can do for you here?"
"Just take a look at her. Make sure she's okay. A quick look. Now, before, as you say, things increase, get worse, whatever."
"I can't," Alec said through gritted teeth, wondering all the while, why the man before him couldn't seem to grasp the seriousness of their situation.
"You know," Logan started as Alec headed for the door again. "You're not as different to me as you might think."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Alec asked., damn this man for keeping on pulling him back.
"It means that if anything ever happened to Max because of something you'd done, you would never forgive yourself."
Alec stopped again at Logan's words. He would never admit to the truth in them though.
"Just one look, Alec," Logan said, again. "I need to know if she's okay. I need to know if I. if I hurt her."
Alec sighed. How was it possible that he could both hate this guy and respect him as much as he did at the same time. He constantly put Max in danger and yet here he was worried that he had hurt a revved-up genetically engineered soldier who could snap his neck in a heartbeat...
"I've never really asked anything of you before, Alec, but here I am, asking. Please," Logan pleaded.
Damn, Alec thought, as he looked to the floor, looked back at Logan's face and then at the floor once again. He really was between a rock and a hard place. Maybe there was a slight chance that he could get in, check Max over and then get out before anything could happen. And if that wasn't possible... well, he had warned Logan. This obviously meant so much to the guy that he was willing to take another risk other than the one of her bleeding to death. But did he really know what he was asking?
Shit.
"Okay," Alec said barely above a whisper. "But we gotta work out exactly what we're going to do, because I'm telling ya' Logan, things aint' going to be pretty in there."
End Part 2
Author's Note: Okay, I know this is short but I have no heat at home and it is 7 degrees Celsius at the moment where I live (Canberra, Australia) and I can't sit at the computer too long because it's so cold. I promise to make the next one longer.
As to coupling, well I don't want to give anything away. But it won't be slash! Sorry, I'm just not into that. Anyway, I don't really know what to designate the rest of the series other than to say it could go either way ie. M/A or M/L. I guess you'll just have to keep reading.
