Logan smirked as he watched Alec practically run out of the room. He liked
that fact that Alec was avoiding him, he was still really mad about what
happened. He had thought that Max and him were together again after the
whole heat thing. Max had told him that Alec had thought that he had
intended on Alec sleeping with her but he had just put on a hurt expression
and asked Max if she thought so too. She had immediately apologized for
even bringing it up. He grinned, she was wrapped around his little finger.
Then he turned and looked at her. She was so beautiful. He remembered when
she had accidentally touched him. He had arrived at her apartment the next
day only to see Alec leaving. He had confronted her about it and she didn't
deny it. She was back with that bastard again. He sneered, he didn't know
what she saw in him, he was just a screw up. He had heard her tell him that
so many times and yet she said she was with him. But now after he, Logan
had saved Alec's life from that Familiar bitch last month, he was sure that
he could win her back. He knew that Max was still really in love with him
and not Alec, there was no way she could love him. He was sure that no one
else believed that they were together either. They sure didn't act like it,
he knew it was just put on and he knew that he would get her back. He
smiled and strolled over to her, he had a surprise for her.
Max saw Logan come in and Alec leave. It was probably obvious to anyone with eyes that they didn't like each other, she sighed. She didn't know what to do, she had told Logan that her and Alec were together to keep him safe. He just didn't understand that she didn't want to be with him. She just didn't know how to tell him without hurting his feelings. He done so much for them and he was also hunted because everyone had seen him jump over the truck shooting at the police outside Jam Pony. He was stuck here and it was all her fault. She just couldn't tell him to get out now that he was also hunted by the public. She sighed again, he was walking towards her with that goofy smile on his face. She pasted one on hers.
"Hey Logan, what's up?"
"Nothing Max, but I've got a surprise for you."
"What is it?" she asked him, curious.
"Come over to my apartment tonight and I'll show you ok?"
"Please God, don't let it be pasta," she murmured under her breath.
"What was that?" Logan asked.
"Oh, nothing," she replied hastily. "I'll be there at like 6 ok?"
"Sure."
She watched him walk off, really irritated. She yelled out to Mole but he just kept walking. "Dammit," she said. She needed him to do a job. She looked around to see if anyone else could help her but everyone's eyes were studiously turned away. She had a feeling that these people didn't really like her, they never said anything but she just sensed a general hostility towards her. If she asked them to do something then they would just look at her for a while and then comply. Usually they only did what she said when Alec was there. She noticed that today. She was trying to get Conner to and get some more supplies and he had told her straight out to do it herself, then she noticed his gaze rest on something behind her and then he said that he would be right on it. She had turned around and saw Alec standing there giving her an innocent look but as she had learnt with Alec, the more innocent he looked the more trouble he was in or about to get into. She didn't understand it, the other day she walked around a corner to see a group of new X6's calling him Sir and him telling them not to ever do that again. She guessed that maybe he was someone important back at Manticore but didn't quite believe it herself. He was always screwing everything up, how could he have done anything right back there. Oh well. She'll ask him about it tomorrow. She looked around and smiled at Luke, Dix and Joshua. They were the only ones that treated her with respect and had given her their friendship. None of the others talked to her at all unless they had to, she didn't know what to do, she was supposed to be their leader but how could she when they would listen to her. She'll talk to Alec about it tomorrow. She had a lot to tell him, she still hadn't told him that she had told Logan that they were supposedly together, she hoped he wouldn't be too mad about it.
Mole had also seen Alec's hasty exit the moment Logan came into view. If he had things his way then Logan would be gone by right, if he had things his way Logan would be dead by now. That human scumbag was so damn whiney it was annoying everyone except their fearless leader, who also happened to be whiney and stupid. He looked at Max, she was nothing but a rogue and had cost them so much pain back at Manticore, he and her fellow rogues could all go to hell as far as he was concerned. She walked around like she owned everything and like she knew what to do when all the time it was Alec who was actually convincing everyone. He didn't know what Alec just didn't tell her to shut up and take over. Everyone would work better if he did, they were used to following his orders, I mean that was what the X's did back at Manticore. Follow Alec. He was the best, well one of the best anyway. The best soldiers at Manticore were always kept apart, they didn't want people fighting over who was going to be alpha. It was pretty obvious Alec had always been that, well obvious to everyone except Max. He was pretty sure that Max was an alpha as well but she isn't as highly ranked as Alec. The system at Manticore had been pretty easy to understand but since Max hadn't been there she probably didn't know it. He scoffed, she didn't know anything. He watched the human approach Max, nobody wanted the human here but Max said that he was safer in here and that they needed his help. That was stupid, a five year old could do the hacking that Logan does. Another thing Max doesn't know. He wished that Alec hadn't placed that protective band on Logan but it had been a direct order and he was a good soldier. He obeyed orders, as hard as this one had been. He knew that everyone else felt the same way. They all hated Logan, they all resented Max and the only reason they were here was because of Alec. He remembered the human saying that he had saved Alec's life and bragging about it to everyone that he had seen. Mole was sick of it and longed to end the endless spin about how he had saved Alec but the only way to stop him from killing him was to stay away. Alec had been shot, the bullet lodged in next to his bone, the human would have died from the pain alone and Alec had stayed to fight. He was mad to think that his friend still put up with the human but he knew he couldn't do anything about it. If Alec was gonna let the human stay then let him stay, maybe the toxins in this place will do they job for us he thought with a grin.
