EPISODE 4: MAX'S ARRANGEMENT
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN Dark Angel and cause FOX don't want it any more, no one does. However credit should be given to CAMERON and EGLEE for the Quality Television they gave us for Two Seasons and the DARK ANGEL Creative Team for shaping the characters which I and many other's accepted and loved as our very own. Thankyou so much for that and hopefully (if it is at all possible), we may be able to see Dark Angel again.

Jondy sat on Alec's second hand leather couch and held Max's cell phone in her hands. The last month of torture she'd been in since being kidnapped, raped and manipulated had caused Jondy and her family so much heartache with her family, believing she could be dead. She never thought that she'd get to speak, let alone see or even hear anyone she loved again. But now she could and that all thanks to her Max and her sister Taylah.
"Are you okay sis?" Taylah's voice echoed in her ears, concern and joy evident in her tone that was obviously relieved to find out her sister was alive and able to speak to her at last.
"Yeah, I'm fine now. What about you, and how about the rest of the family?" Jondy returned the concerned and joyous tone of, which returned it with relief at the fact that she was going to be okay.
"We're all fine...when are you going to come home? Taylah asked the question that Jondy wasn't entirely sure about. Reality was that Jondy had only been completely out of shock for about ten minute's and Jondy wasn't at all sure what she wanted to do. She was having trouble remembering things, let alone making any kind of decision about what she did next.
"I really don't know. In fact I should probably talk to you about that..."

Alec opened the door to his apartment which had been occupied of late by Jondy and Max and was surprised top see Max in his kitchen where she appeared to be organising and Jondy, awake and talking on his couch. Alec had not expected to find what he'd done in his apartment.
"When did she wake up?" Alec asked Max from the door of which he closed upon arrival.
"Oh hey Alec, finally. She woke up less then 30 minutes ago and she's speaking to her sister telling her that she's okay and not to worry. Oh, and we're all going out tonight and I called Original Cindy and we're all going around to Logan's to celebrate!" Max shut the fridge and then she started heading to the bathroom where she would wash her hands.
Alec followed behind wondering what the hell was going on. Alec thought that it was kind of weird that only half an hour had passed and already Jondy and the gang we're celebrating at Logan's. It was also strange, as Logan hadn't ever invited everyone over to celebrate anything let alone Max's Manticore sister waking up out of her state of shock. "And what are we celebrating exactly?"
"Logan's got something to celebrate with all of us, even you cause we will all probably benefit from his latest achievement. He got a really cool job and plus Jondy's awake so we're all celebrating and your coming too!" Max walked out of the bathroom where she had washed her hands and pulled her leather jacket of Alec's couch where Jondy was talking on the phone still and Alec smiled at Jondy, and she returned the smile.
"Alright and have you asked Jondy if she is in the mood, especially after she hasn't come out of a coma but shock if she'd like to celebrate with people she barely knows?"
"Not yet, but once she gets of the phone cause she's been on it since she woke up we'll both go and ask her if she'd in the mood to celebrate!" Max went back into the kitchen and then she presented to Alec like the models on Wheel a Fortune would what she had done to Alec's kitchen.
"You do realise Max that I don't use my kitchen apart from my alcohol collection and my fridge so having a presentable kitchen isn't necessary!" Alec stated while looking in side a draw he didn't even know had cutlery in it.
"Yes, I noticed which is why while I was bored I decided to inspect the entire kitchen. And by the way, I'm taking you shopping so we can buy you some decent food cause pork product's and macaroni and cheese are sufficient food for Joshua, however he's part dog and you should be looking after yourself!"
"Max, are you trying to make up for the lack of a motherly influence in my life cause if you wanna wash my clothes and take me to football practise, your very welcome!"
"Don't mock, it's just you gotta look after yourself cause this ain't a way to live!" Max presented Alec with an article, which could have been cheese cause there was mould all around it.
"Max, seriously are you feeling okay cause, one your smiling and I'm around, two my kitchen is starting to look like an actual kitchen and three... you actually look happy?" Alec stated mockingly while pulling out a glass from an ordered cabinet and filling its contents with tap water.
"So I'm done on the phone and what's this I hear about a celebration and who are you?" Jondy took the opportunity to interrupt Max and Alec's conversation and immediately eyed Alec who quickly came out from the kitchen and offered a hand to Jondy.
"I'm Alec and this is my place, or at least I think it still is cause you wouldn't notice it after all the changes that have occurred since Max attacked it. It is very nice to meet you in person and not asleep and not on the phone!" Alec smiled and Jondy accepted Alec's hand, shaking it and smiled back at Alec.
"And the celebration is for Logan who you have already met and yourself cause your alive and here which has been quite a battle I can assure you. Two reason's to celebrate, plus I think you might prefer Logan's dig's from these anyway." Max scanned Alec's apartment and grimaced while Alec gave Max a dirty look. "Cause to make this place livable, I'm gonna need some major supplies."
Focussing his attention on Jondy, Alec switched to his normal 'Smart Alec' mode and decided it was time to inform Alec about himself. "So I think I should tell you a couple of things about myself to jog your memory. I'm an X5 like you and... "
Jondy and Alec began to talk and Max decided it was the perfect opportunity to nick home and change for Logan's celebration. She could also grab Original Cindy and some clothes for Jondy to wear as she still wore clothes from the hospital.
"Alec, I'm going to nick home and I'll be back with Cindy and some clothes for you and Jondy. You can borrow some of mine and then tomorrow we will get you some more!"
"No problem," Jondy responded and Max left the apartment leaving Alec and Jondy to talk and compare life stories. When Max closed the door she heard Jondy laugh and smiled. Jondy was okay and things were finally looking up.
