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.

"And another thing Max." Zack was saying when Alec put the cell to his ear.

"One, I'm not Max and two will you shut up." Alec told him in his I'm-very- pissed-off-at-you voice.

That shut Zack up long enough for Alec to get his wits together, he had never met Zack, but from the pictures that he had seen Zack was a huge tower of pure muscle and even Alec knew he couldn't beat Zack even if Zack wasn't 100%, because Zack was huge.

"Right, listen. You need to get your big ass along with the rest of your old unit down here to Seattle right now." Alec told him.

"No, I won't." Zack told him, "White would have the biggest field-day with all the 09er's in Seattle wouldn't he."

"Well, there will be enough of us to out power most of America's army." Alec told him, "So I wouldn't worry about being overpowered okay." Alec told him, and he paused, while listening to Zack go on about ho it would be to dangerous Alec looked at Max who was frantically shaking her head. When she saw that Alec was looking she signed, (don't tell him, he'll never come if you do. Make something up.) She signed.

Oh shit Alec thought, now he was going to have to come up with an excuse to get them all down here without telling Zack about the fact he had a daughter named Tinga.

Think Alec think. Then Alec came up with an idea; not a very good one but he didn't have very much time.

". And will you tell me why we all have to get down to Seattle?" Zack asked.

"Earth to Zack, Max couldn't tell you because we wanted to keep it a surprise. She wanted it to be something special do you really want to spoil the surprise and all the hard work Max has done these past few months?" he asked trying to sound as sincere as he could.

"Yeah, I don't like surprises so just tell me." Zack demanded.

"No, I can't go against my promise to Max, you'll just have to come down here yourself, but be warned if you come down alone you will never find out." And with that Alec closed the cell and cut the line.

"Is your brother always that pigheaded?" Alec asked Max who by now was sitting in on of the wooden chairs that Logan kept in the kitchen.

"Yeah, pretty much." Max told him.

"Do you think he'll come?" Alec asked.

"Yeah, he'll come, he's too much of a C.O. and protective big brother to not want to be out of the loop for long. Plus as well he doesn't want you going through with your promise so hopefully he'll call the others but to make sure I'll phone Jondy later tonight to see if Zack has contacted her. She'll be the last person who he calls because he knows that once she knows I want her down here she'll drop everything and rush down here." Max told him.

She was tired very tired, but she couldn't go to sleep yet. She walked through into the living room followed by Alec carrying Rachel's sodas. There they found Rachel sitting on the couch with Logan deep in discussion about something.

Not wanting to disturbed them Max waited at the door but Alec being Alec strode up to Rachel and handed her a soda, took one for himself and motioned for Max to take the other one.

Max walked up and took the can out of Alec's hand and opened it. She took a long drink and stood next to Alec.

Logan looked up at the two X5's, "Hey, did you call Zack?" he asked Max.

"Yeah, he wasn't having any of it until Alec had a little word with him and now we think he's coming and bringing the others but I'm going to check with Jondy tonight." Max explained.

"Are the rest of them coming?" Alec asked Rachel.

"Yeah, I managed to contact at least one of them in each location so they all should be coming but I'll still try and contact the others and Zero should be here." Rachel paused for a few seconds

A/N2: Two chapters in one day, well I thought I'd load these both up together because of the phone call to Zack.
