Title: The X6's surprise

Author: Gamegirl 452

Pairings: Max/Alec I would tell you the rest of them but that would spoil my fun!

Rating: PG-13 (for violence, swearing and sexual content that comes later).

Summary: What if not all of the X6's were not originals? Then what would they be? Where do they come from? And what will it do to the X5's who find out?

Disclaimer: I do not own Dark Angel or any of its characters. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this I would be writing the scripts for the fourth series because by now that's what we would be on because I would have never taken off air. I would have put Max and Alec together a looooooong time ago. Alec would have had a much bigger role in the second series. Alec would now be in my house instead of off somewhere.

But I don't own them James Cameron, Fox and the rest of those lot do. Shame.

A/N: This is only my second fan fiction ever so please read and review and please be gentle.

Outside the Healthcorp building.

Alec was stood next to Max they were dressed all in black. Alec had black fatigue like trousers on with tight fitting, long sleeved black shirt on and a black utility belt in his black backpack, but so as to stand out by wearing too much black when they entered the building next door he wore a denim jacket over the top.

Max was wearing a tight fitting black cat suit with matching utility belt in Alec's backpack. She was also wearing on of O.C.'s red jackets to deter people from noticing she also dressed all in black.

Max had her hair down so it covered her barcode, but had a black hair band in Alec's backpack as well to keep it out of her way while she was doing this job.

"Ready Mr Bradley Philips?" Max asked as she looked at Alec.

"Only if you are Miss Joanna Collins?" Alec asked, he thought of the names Logan had given them, they didn't fit either one of them, but that didn't matter they only had to be Mr Bradley Philips and Miss Joanna Collins for a couple of hours and then they didn't have to be them ever again Alec thought.

"Right remember that we are visiting from New York. We work for the New York health department and we are interested in Logan's friend supplying us with the stuff we need. His name is Mr James Johnson. " Max reminded him.

"Yeah, I remembered Max, we were trained to remember a detailed building plan for a ten story building after only seeing it for 5 seconds Max, I think I can remember a little detail like who we are suppose to be" Alec snapped.

'He was not in a very good mood' Max thought, 'I wonder what's been eating at him, he's been like this for the past few weeks and it's bugging me'. Max shrugged it off, probably some girl or something and she turned her attention to the job in hand. This was going to be one of the most difficult jobs that she had ever done because of all the anti-transgenic devices in there, she was staring to agree with Alec that an ordinary would be better and safer to do this job than her and Alec.

'Alec' she thought, she had forgotten about him for a moment,

"Come on, let's get this bitch over with" Max told him as they walked into the friends building.

They went through some automatic doors, very rare in Seattle because of the Pulse.

Max took the lead and Alec walked a couple of feet behind her looking out for any sign of danger or that their cover had or could be compromised.

When he didn't find any sign of danger he turned back to face Max's back and looked down, from the position he was in he had a very good view of her ass, and that cat suit did absolutely everything for her Alec thought.

Even thought he was enjoying the view Alec caught up with Max, he leaned closer until his head was almost touching her shoulder.

"All clear" he whispered so quietly only another X series within a few feet could have picked it up.

Max nodded, they walked up to the reception desk, which was dark stained pine, and there was only one receptionist at the desk. A young woman early 20's small with blond hair and green eyes. She looked very nervous.

Alec made a mental note of it but didn't show any of his concern on his face. Nothing had changed as far as anyone watching him could tell.

"Good Evening." The young receptionist told them.

"Good evening" Alec answered and flashed her one of his trademark Alec smirks.

After that the receptionist who's name turned out to be Kim, visibly relaxed and seemed to be more at ease with the new guests.

"Good evening, I'm Miss Joanna Collins and this is Mr Bradley Philips we're from the New York health department, I believe Mr Johnson left our passes here?" Max told her as she took control.

"Yes ma'am, to VIP passes access all areas passes have been left for a Mr Philips and a Miss Collins, but I have to check your ID to grant you access to these sorts of passes" Kim told them.

"I'm sorry about this but we have to check all ID's by company policy. Sorry for the delay." She apologised.

"It's okay, we understand these things, we have the same system set up in New York" Alec told her, "Here's mine." Alec told her handing over the fake pass that Logan had given him before they had left his penthouse apartment.

At the same time Max handed her own fake pass, her photo seemed to be one taken a couple of years ago where as his was just taken a couple of days ago. Alec had managed to get a quick look at the picture before Kim had taken them. Max had short curly hair that just barley covered her barcode.

He decided to save this bit of information locked up in his brain until they got back to Logan's.

Kim took the passes and then took them into the adjoining office. Probably to check they're not the fakes that they actually are. Thought Alec. He was now getting a bit jumpy, he just wanted to get this over with so he could get back to his flat do a couple more hours and then crash into a dreamless sleep for a couple of hours before having to get up and go to work and start another day of meaningless work. Alec had a bad feeling about this job, like something was going to happen that would change his life or something like that, Max called it the spider sense and a few of the X5's in her unit had it, and apparently Ben had had it as well.

Alec was so looking forward to Sunday, the day of rest where he got more than a couple of hours sleep before he got up to do a good day's work on it.

It was the only day of the week that Alec actually didn't feel exhausted by midday, yeah Manticore had training him to live on two or less hours of sleep a night, but not for a solid month and also when he was trained his mind was on constant alert he didn't have time to be tired because people's lives depended on him. The battlefield was a place where you had to have all your senses on alert all the time because you were constant danger of death all the time.

'Jam Pony isn't actually danger around every corner thrill a minute kind of place' Alec thought.

He was jarred out of his thought by Kim coming back with their fake ID's and what look like two pieces of card strung on two very long pieces of black thread.

Alec used his enhanced vision to see that they were the VIP passes which was good, not so good was the fact that it had their photos on it, which meant they had those photos on file.

Alec didn't like the fact that they were using passes with their photo on it and he really didn't like the fact that his photo was paired with the fake name, which could now, with a photo be traced back to him and Max. Something just didn't feel right about this job and Alec couldn't put his finger on it.

Max and Alec thanked the receptionist when she handed the passes over, they put them round their necks like they had seen Kim wear hers and they walked over to the first lift they could come to.

They both swiped their cards in a special reader that allowed you to access the lift.

The doors opened at once like it was their waiting for them, they both got in and Alec pressed the button for the 9th floor, Max looked puzzled.

Alec looked around and spied a tiny security camera in the corner that was almost undetectable, but then he had been trained for over 20 years to pick up this kind of stuff.

Alec walked closer to Max and started to put his arms round her waist, she tried to resist but not much, Alec held her firmly in place. He brought head closer to her face and when it looked like they were going kiss Alec moved and started to kiss her ear. Max then understood,

"There is a small camera in the wall so look like your enjoying it." Alec whispered, in X series range.

"They will track were we are going, and even if we changed elevators they would still track us. It would look a little strange if two VIP guests suddenly went striate to the roof, which is why were are getting off at the 9th floor, which happens also to be the floor that Mr Johnson has his office on. We will get out, and you start to feel sick, I will explain that you get monition sickness but not normally this bad and you just need some fresh air. We will go out onto the roof and continue okay?" Alec told her all the while kissing her ear, sometimes going down her cheekbone planting little kisses as he went and then came back up to give her more instructions.

"Yeah good thinking" Max told him in the same X series range.

"Was that praise Max?" Alec asked and he brought his hands up from her waist bring them over her breasts and brought them up to circle her face, he looked down at her and gave her one of his trademark grins.

"You must be hearing things" Max told him, but that obviously a lie because right after she bit her lower lip, which Alec knew she only did when she was worried about somebody, about something, or about being found out, it's a wonder she doesn't constantly bit it Alec thought, what is that smell?

'I hope he doesn't see right through me, and why is it so hot in here?' Max thought.

Alec shrugged and then mentally went over the plan again in his head, keeping his hands locked around Max's head, just so not to arouse suspicion her lent in with the intention of give her a quick kiss.

That thought went striate out of the window when his lips touched hers, they were so soft under his, and they tasted like cherries and sex Alec thought.

Max was shocked when Alec brought his lips down on his, he tasted of beer and sex and smelled musky (cologne), fruity (shampoo), and something that she couldn't put her finger on, something that only Alec could taste of and it was something that nobody could ever could fake, it was just pure Alec.

She was shocked when she herself bent forward and tried to deepen the kiss, it was getting very hot in the lift, even thought it was very airy and spacious for a lift. But Max knew it wasn't the lift but Alec that was making her temperature raise a couple of hundred degrees.

Before either of them knew it the lift pinged to tell them that it had reached the 9th floor, the doors nearly closed before Alec gained some sort of motor control and walked out of the lift dragging Max with him.

Max then remember where they were and what they were supposed to be doing, also most immediately she started to fake feeling sick, this was hard because she felt sick about what she had just done, she couldn't believe that she had just made out with Alec in the lift of one of Logan's friends. Oh God, Max thought, Logan, he would have seen all that because he had hacked into the cameras of this building as well as the one next door.

Max was doing such a good job of 'faking' her illness Alec actually stopped when they got onto the roof to check that she was okay.

Max suddenly stood up and it looked like the bitch was back as Normal had put it once.
