Ben grabbed a knife out, it's silver metal reflecting the moonlight. "Ben, it's impossible. I.I killed him." Max replied tears forming in her eyes. "well once you ran off and left my body in the woods they did a few changes and now I'm back. Ben replied. "Ben, it's me, Maxie." She said trembling. "Maxie, you sure have grown up, pity my orders are to kill you and you know a good solider always follows his orders." He replied raising the knife above her.

Suddenly just as he was going to stab Max Alec grabbed Ben's arm and kicked in the side of the head. "Alec!" max yelled jumping up and running into Alec's arms. Alec rubbed her back soothingly. Soon Ben jumped up and Alec gently pushed Max behind him. "Ahhhhh, a pleasure to finally meet you 494. Now step aside." Ben warned. "I'm not going to let you hurt Max." Alec replied. Ben then tried to punch him, Alec blocked it and punched him in the face. Ben staggered back. Once he recovered the 2 clones began to circle each other. Ben tried punching Alec again, Alec grabbed it and spun around and kicked him in the face. Ben flipped over his head and kicked Alec in the back. Soon Alec caught Ben off guard and gave him a massive punch to the cheek. Ben landed hardly on the ground.

Alec then picked up White's gun lying on the ground and aimed it at Ben. "Drop it now." Ames ordered walking up to them, Max in his grip and a knife to her throat. Alec didn't move, except for his eyes. He saw max and let the gun drop the ground. "Get on your knees now 494 and put your hands on the back of your head." Ames ordered. Alec continued to glare at Ben as he slowly sank to his knees and put his hands on the back of his head. Ben then jumped to his feet and picked up his knife. Ben slowly made his way close to Alec. Alec closed his eyes, just incase he would bring the knife down on him. Suddenly max elbowed Ames in the stomach then punched him in the face.

Ben then lunged at Alec, grabbing his neck with his free hand. Alec gripped the hand with the knife in it. Alec fell on his back, with Ben hovering over him, determined to drive the knife into his face. Soon Alec's muscles began to burn and his hands were tired Alec knew he couldn't hold on much longer. "Give it up little twin, you loose!" Ben replied. Alec clenched his teeth as the end of the knife moved closer to him. Max jumped to her feet, ran up to Ben and kicked him hard in the face, off Alec.

Immediately Max grabbed him by the throat and shoved him up against the fence. Alec jumped up to help max, but White grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. Max looked angrily into Ben's eyes. "Max! Kill him! You have to kill him!" Alec shouted. White then stabbed Alec in the side with the knife. Ben smiled at Max. "You can't do it can you Maxie? You can't kill me. I'm your brother. Remember those old days back at Manticore? I was there for you when no one else was." Ben replied. Max's eyes glistened and the bottom of her lip trembled. "Come on Max, I don't want to kill you, I wanna be with you. Alec is the enemy. He might act like your friend, but he's just getting close to you then he'll kill you." Ben lied. "Max! Kill him! He's lying!" Alec shouted. Ben felt Max's grip loosen. " I cared about you." Max said ashamed, then snapped his neck. She shuttered as Ben fell to the ground.

White dropped Alec and began running up to max. Max flipped over his head and ran up to Alec, helped him up, then they began running. Before Ames could react the 2 jumped over the fence and got lost in the woods.

Once they felt like they couldn't run anymore they both sat down to rest. Max moved the hair out of her face and looked at Alec who was gripping at his side. "You did the right thing Max. If you didn't kill him, he would have killed you." Alec replied looking at her. "I might as well let him Alec. I mean, we're screwed here. We've been exposed, we don't have Logan, White some how finds us anywhere we go. I mean what are we to do. And he brought Ben back to life and turned him against me. That wasn't Ben!" Max warned. "Max, we have gotten through things without Logan before." Alec replied. "Yeah I know, but things were normal, now they are messy. People know now, and we at least had him on our side. But now he's hunting us, that genius brain is against us now." Max replied. "Ah, well, good point." Alec admitted. They sat in silence for a little while. "How about we go to Terminal City? As long as were around thousand of other transgenics he can't touch us, they won't let him." Alec suggested. "Maybe." Max answered. Alec sighed. "Max we don't a lot of options. We can at least crash there until we think of something else." Alec added. Max looked at him then collapsed in his arms. "We can only trust each other now." Max replied hugging him tightly. "Us against the world huh? I'm right beside you Max." Alec replied then kissed her on the forehead.

Max and Alec peeked around a corner of an alley. Max looked around. "Ok, it's clear." Max whispered to Alec. They got on the streets of Seattle and started walking to Terminal City. They walked 12 blocks in silence once they came to it, they sighed in relief. The 2 walked through a hole in the fence. "Terminal City, you sure we should stay here?" Max asked. "Max, were else are we going to go?" Alec shot back smiling. Suddenly mutants surrounded them, guns pointing at them. "It's ok guys X5." Alec announced to them. "What are you doing here?" One asked. "We need a place to crash for a couple of hours, we are running form White." Alec replied. Reluctantly, they allowed them to pass.

Once inside the building, Max began looking for Joshua. Once she spotted him she smiled, he was painting as usual. Soon Joshua noticed her standing there. "Little fella." He said softly putting down his brush. Max ran into Joshua's arms, Joshua hugged her tightly. "I thought I lost you, I got word that White caught you." He said. "Joshua, I'm so scared." She said softly, her eyes closed, close to Joshua. Alec walked up to them. "Alec." Joshua said smiling. Alec smiled back. Max allowed Joshua to let go of her and hug Alec. Alec closed his eyes and gripped Joshua's shoulders. Max could tell the pain in Alec's expression. "I thought White had you 2 for good." Joshua replied letting go of Alec. "We barely got out with our lives." Max replied sadly. "You can't stay here!" Mole said pointing at Max and Alec, who looked back confusingly.

"You say White's looking for you? You'll lure him right to all of us them will all be in trouble!" Mole replied. "There are too many of you to catch!" Alec said. "Not if he uses the connections he has. He can get every policeman within 200 miles here and trap us!" Mole shouted. All mutants looked at Max and Alec, some agreeing, most not sure what to think. "Hey, that's not a bad idea." An eerily voice announced. Max and Alec froze and slowly turned around, as did the mutants. "Hello freaks." He replied.
