"Now can I get the bike? Cause I have to do other stuff"

"Like what?" Helena puts her hands on her hips, staring at Max, she still doesn't trust her yet, even thought they are kinda different

Max can't say she has to visit 'Eyes Only' aka Logan Cale, because lots of people in Seattle and worldwide wants him dead, because he is a underground cyber journalist that wants like evil stop. She can't just bring this 'Helena' to Logan's penthouse, because Max doesn't her well and she be a secret enemy, that is probably working with Manticore or god who knows, Max has to say something else, that is part of what she is going to do tonight, is to visit her biological sister, Liz, who is also a transgenic, somehow Liz has the same mother as Max, "I have to see my sister Liz to see what she is up to"

"Oh" she sort of feel stupid, after she heard what Max just said, "Do you need help getting the bike?"

"Probably, let me get in and I will hand signal to you" she pause for a second, "Can you understand military hand signals?" Helena shakes her head, "Ok, do what you normally do, but first we gotta pass the fence, without getting seen, if we do, we have to attack them, but not killing them, and soon we might be outnumbered, not a good thing, especially with people with guns"

"You don't like guns?"

"I hate it, I got my reason," Max flash-backs back to the '09 escape of Manticore, when her siblings were walking down the halls, and her sister Eva, 9, got shot and killed by Lydecker, a man that she and her "siblings" hate so much, also after when they escaped the building, her Manticore, "sibling" Jack, also got shot and killed, he wouldn't make it anyways because he is not a healthy X5, because he get a lot of seizures at Manticore, Max quickly ends her flash-back, "My sister and my brother were gunned down"

"Oh, I'm sorry"

"I'm over it now, it happened in 2009" Max turns to the fence, "You ready?" Helena nods, Max sprang up in the air, about 15ft and she lands onto the other side of the fence and she lands quietly onto her two feet. Helena jumps into the air as well and she lands onto her feet, she lands beside Max. "Let's go" as she whisper to her. Max and Helena started to walk and they are sneaking past few pit bulls and they sneak behind a guard and Max gives on of the men, a special move that puts him to sleep. Max runs into the garage and grabs a brand spankin new bike, she quietly grabs it and she and Helena takes off and they leave the place, without getting caught.

"Sleathy" said Helena

"Yeah, I'm so good," said Max, "Let's go to my place and put the bike away then we need to go to sector 2 to see my sister"

"Okay"

Max and Helena heads back to her apartment, so she can hide the bike and put it somewhere safe, "How old is your sister? I'm just wondering"

"She is 16" Max walks into the apartment with the bike, she goes up few flights of stairs, "She is my biology sister, its kinda twisted in a way, meaning hard to explain"

"So, she lives on her own?"

"Yeah, you can say that, she said its best for us to split up, so these people won't track us down and capture us, plus she is right, that is what Zack said, the night of the escape"

"Oh, your running from who?"

"These people that made us and trained us to be soldiers, really we were slaves" Max shoves the bike in the closet and she closes the door and bolt it shut, "Let's go see my sister okay?"

"Okay"

***

Liz walks around her apartment living room, she turns on the tv and she sits down on the couch. She is watching some tv and drinking some beer, beer doesn't bother her, because transgenics don't get drunk easily, like most humans, its takes an average transgenic to have 100+ drinks in order to get drunk. Liz leans back on the couch, while sipping on her drink. She is thinking she should call her Manticore friend "Ben" aka X5-493. She sits up and she puts down her beer down on the coffee table and she dials his number. She waits for him to answer, finally he does, "Hey Ben"

"Hey Liz," said Ben on the other line, "Can I put you on hold?"

"Sure"

Ben puts his cell phone down on the table and covers it, with some of his clothes, Ben walks over to the tied up man, he takes out this needle thing out, that let's you tattoo someone. Ben injects the needle in the back of the neck, of the innocent human, "Sit still, this has to be perfect" Ben grins evilly.

***

Liz hears a knock on the door, "Crap" she sense it was Max, she hangs up on Ben, because Max doesn't know Ben and Liz are in some kind of an relationship, even though they are from Manticore, and Ben is like Max 'sibling' but they really aren't related, they were just raised in the same place. Liz stands up and she unlocks the door and she opens it, she sees Max and this brunette woman, "Hey Max"

"Hey, remember I was stopping by?"

Liz scratches her head and she just remember, that she was coming over, "Yeah" Liz opens the door wide enough, "Come in, also you miss, can come in, let me, just clean up my mess"

Helena walks into the apartment living room and she sees a beer bottle on the table, "Your drinking already, what is the drinking age here in Seattle?"

"21 and over," replied Liz, she walks over to the beer bottle and she picks it up, "Don't worry, it won't harm us, me and Max" Liz walks into the kitchen and she pours the beer down the sink and she puts the empty bottle in the trash and she walks out of the kitchen.

"You're lucky to be genetically engineered, Max"

Liz looks at Helena, "Who are you and what do you know about Max?"

"Liz, its ok, she knows, also she isn't Manticore," said Max

"How you would know? You won't know if Manticore brings down a plainclothes officer or whatever those are called"

"She is like us"

Liz circles around Helena, "Are you X5? X6?"

"None, I'm a metahuman," said Helena

"Oh" Liz walks away, "Sorry about that"

"Its okay," said Helena, "Your so cautious about Manticore and genetically engineering thing"

"Yeah, I was 5 when I escaped, after the escape, I had trouble trusting ordinaries, ya know?" Helena nods in sort of agreement

Max beep suddenly goes off, its Logan, "Hey, Liz, can I use your cell phone?"

"Sure" Liz takes out her cell phone out and hands it to Max, "Helena, do you want a drink?"

"Sure, do you have any beer?"

"I have plenty, let's go in the kitchen, while Max is on the phone" Liz heads to the kitchen and Helena follows her.

Max dials, Logan's number, "Hey"

"Hey you, can you come over?"

"Sure" Max hangs up and she walks into the kitchen, "I have to jet, Liz, can you entertain Helena?"

"Sure" Liz turns to Helena, "You're a crime fighter eh?" Max walks out of the apartment and she heads to Logan's place.

"Yeah, a really good one"

"Cool, sounds fun, I fight baddies a lot, it kind of helps me, to get more advance, with my special ablities, because I wasn't in Manticore for too long, Max was there longer, cuz she older than me" Liz picks up a beer bottle and she takes a sip on it and she lowers it, so she can speak, "When I fight bad guys, mostly with men, the funniest thing, they always run away"

"Yeah" Helena starts to laugh, "I'm still don't understand, why they always run, men usually continues to fight"

"Unless, they are afraid to get beaten by a girl, if I was a guy, that would be another story," said Liz cracking up laughing.

***

Max walks into Logan's apartment, "Hey you"

"Hey, Max, your late"

"I know, I met a girl and I was visiting my sister, why?"

"Oh, I'm just wondering, because you usually come in like really quickly, everything alright?"

"Yeah, its all cool, anything you want me to do?"

"No, not at the moment, I had Matt Sung to take care of it, don't worry, this crime stuff wasn't like serious"

"Sorry, next time I will come ASAP"

"Max, its alright, how is Liz by the way?"

"Good, she is always well and she is always on guard, like ready to pop someone if they are like Manticore"

"That's Liz for ya, she is smart"

"Yeah, she always is, weird enough, Lydecker even liked her, not only she is one of 'his' kids, she seems so smart"

"That's because, she is your real sister, your smart as her as well, you still searching for your 'siblings', you are avoiding Manticore very quickly, and the rest is hard to explain, you should go home and get some rest"

"Yeah" Max turns to Logan, "True, I got work tomorrow, so does Liz as well"

"Okay, bye"

"Bye" Max exits the penthouse and she heads back to Liz's place and she walks into the place, "Helena, we need to blaze, its kind of late"

"Okay, bye Liz, next time we will chat some other time" Liz nods, Helena walks out of the place with Max, "Max, your sister is really cool"

"Yeah"

"Let's play a game," smiled Ben, "Your remember the rules? If you get out of the woods, your free, if you not, your back here, got it?" the man nods and Ben unties the man, he hands him a crossbow and he made him put on a necklace that has a symbol of the blue lady, "run" the man nods and he runs out of the abandon building and he starts to run really fast, to get away from Ben, he loads up the crossbow. Ben smiles and he starts to use his flash-like speed and he starts to chase the guy, the guy stops running and he looks around for Ben, Ben steps on a twig and the man shoots the arrow, where the sound was coming from and he quickly grabs the arrow, without hitting him. The man smiled for a second, thinking he got him, he runs off and Ben charges at him and he kicks him in the back, knocking him down, he grabs his neck and he snaps it. Ben kneels beside the dead man's body, and he starts to pull out two teeth out of the man, he places the teeth in this white blanket and covers it. He also takes off the necklace off and he walks away from the dead body, "Mission complete"
