Logan ran up behind Ames and was about ready to hit him over the head.
Ames then grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back. "Logan, what
are you trying to do?" Ames asked. Max looked around panicky. Then she
bit his hand. Howling in pain Ames threw her to the ground. She then
swiped his legs out from underneath him with her foot. Once he hit the
ground she crawled up beside him and pinned him down. Ames smiled and in
the blink of an eye, he got up and had her pinned down the ground by her
throat. Max clenched her teeth and the kneed him in the back. That didn't
do anything. Max started to see spots but she didn't give up.
Suddenly Alec tackled Ames off her. She rolled to her side grabbing her throat. Logan ran up to her to see if she was ok. Alec punched Ames in the face and lifted him up by the throat. "Max you ok!?" Alec shouted, glaring at Ames. "Yeah." Max managed to yell. Alec then threw Ames on to his car. Soon some of Ames men showed up, clicking their guns, letting them know that they were ready to let bullets go. Logan stood up and pushed Max behind him. "Logan, you are NOT being my shield." Max said. "Max, he wants you, we got you." Logan said. Max sighed, she felt safe yet like a big whimp. Logan and Alec slowly moved back closer to Max. Max looked around and smiled. She tapped Alec and pointed up at the roof, but no one saw her point. Alec shook his head as he grabbed Logan's arm. Max grabbed the other and they both jumped as high as they could. They landed on the roof and ran out of their range of fire.
"Come on, this way." Max declared. "Max, why this way?" Logan asked. "Cause they will be expecting us to go to Terminal City, we'll take the long way." Max replied. Logan shook his head yes, the 3 ran the way they had came before until the roof ended. The next building was close enough you could jump over to it. They ran across 3 roofs and then they went down the latter. Max looked both ways and they signaled Alec and Logan to follow her. Max ran into a club, with Logan and Alec following her. She pushed through the crowds of people and walked clear to the back. Max pushed the heavy back door open. Logan and Alec also came outside. "What, was that about?" Alec asked.
Max smiled and looked down at the ground. She was looking at a sewer entrance. She then pushed the heavy lid off the entrance and went inside. "Max, are you sure you know where you're going?" Logan asked as they climbed down the latter. "Trust me, I used to take this route all the time." Max replied walking down south. They walked for what seemed hours, rounding corners and going up and down latter's. Finally she came to on and walked up the latter. She pushed the heavy lid up and aside and the then climbed out. Logan and Alec did as well, they were in Terminal City building.
"Wow, Max, how did you find out about that route I mean we took so many lefts and rights." Logan replied. "I have a lot of spare time." Max said smiling then walked into the main room where all the transgenics were. Mole looked at Max then at Alec. "I'm sorry guys, my temper got the best of me." Mole said hanging his head. "Hey it's over, everybody is ok, we are all here and nothing else we can do to change the past." Max replied. Max then walked into the room where she had talked to the policeman. Logan watched her mope in the room, he sighed and followed.
Logan walked into the room, closing the door behind him. "Max, what's wrong?" he asked. Max didn't say anything she just looked down at the desk then looked up at him, tears in her eyes. "Logan, I don't know what to do." She said sadly. Logan looked at her in a confused way. "Logan, we can't run and hid forever, there are only so many places. Ames is going to catch us, it might not be today, it might not be tomorrow but I know he's going to sooner of later. Like you said Manticore's technology is amazing and...how can we out run it?" Max asked him. Logan didn't know what to say, she was right. "It's just so hard to live this kind of life, I hate it." Max said feeling her forehead.
Logan walked over to Max and touched her face, he still had his gloves on. Max looked into his eyes. "God I wish I can kiss you now." Logan said quietly. Max smiled but pulled away. "Thanks for listening Logan." Max said then walked out of the room. As Max walked out, everything slowed down. She looked around at all the mutants, some where smiling and laughing at each other, most where just talking. Max turned around and saw Logan looking at her. She sighed and looked down at her feet. This sucks, Max said to herself.
