YOU'LL GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER LATER IN THIS STORY, BUT THE PERSON WHO PLAYS HIM IS A NEW ACTOR CALLED JEREMY RENNER. HE PLAYS THA BAD GUY IN S.W.A.T.

NOW, THERE WAS ONE QUESTION,

I THINK IT WAS WHY WAS MAX AFRAID OF ALEC. WELL THE REASON WHY SHOULD WAS SCARED OF HIM WAS THAT THE FACT THAT SHE NEVER BEEN NEAR A TRANSGENIC MALE WHILE IN HEAT BEFORE AND THE WASY THAT HE IS REACTING IS KINDA SCARING HER. KEEP IN MIND SHE HAS NO CLUE WHAT HER HEAT CAN DO TO ALEC SO SHE IS AFRAID THAT ALEC WILL TRY TO HURT HER AND THE FACT THAT HAVING SEX W/ ALEC WHEN SHE IS IN HEAT ALSO SCARES HER.

BECAUSE 1- SHE NEVER HAD SEX W/ A TRANSGENIC BEFORE AND SHE IS AFRAID OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND

2- SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE NEAR MALES PERIOD, B/C SHE IS IN HEAT AND SHE DOESN'T WANT TO END UP MAKING A MISTAKE ESPECIALLY WITH ALEC. YOU REMEMBER HOW MAX ACTED IN THE ONE EPISODE WHERE IT WAS HER AND LOGAN'S ANNIVERSARY AND SHE WAS ALL JUMPY B/C SHE KNEW SHE WAS IN HEAT. THAT IS KINDA WHAT SHE IS ACTING LIKE NOW;)

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS EITHER WHETHER YOU LEAVE IT IN THE COMMENTS OR EMAIL IT TO ME, I'LL TRY ANYTHING I CAN TO HELP YOU UDERSTAND THIS STORY BETTER, OR ANY 3 OF MY DARK ANGEL STORIES;)

OK THAT'S ENOUGH OF ME TALKING SO HERE IS THE STORY!

ENJOY!

LOVE ALL,

NaTaShA

Max walked to her apartment, finding some times it was very hard to control herself and others she nearly almost forgot she was in heat. She basically ran into her door, unlocking to as fast as she could and slamming it shut resting her back against the door. Max looked around, her breathing quickened.

Max then ran into the bathroom and ran cold water into the bathtub. Max fidgeted with her fingers as she shifted impatiently waiting for it to fill up. Finally the water was overflowing the tub when Max turned it off. She breathed hardly as if she couldn't get air as she threw off her jacket and boots and jumped in. Water poured over the tub soaking the floor as Max's head went immediately under.

This was relaxing to her, feeling the freezing cold water cool her blazing heated skin on her arms and face. Max shot up, into a sitting position in the tub, her cloths sticking to her and her hair soaked and running down the side of her face. The temperature of the room brought the temperature of Max's body heat back up and Max could feel her cold skin slowly fade into warm.

Max pushed back her hair and she ran her hands over her face, pushing water from her mouth and eyes. Max's breathing returned to normal as the freezing water 'snapped' the heat out of her for a little while. Max leaned back, resting her back on the tub, relaxing then before she knew it she was sinking back under. Max took a breath before her head went under with the rest of her body. The water was soothing to her as she just laid there. Suddenly her eyes snapped open.

She heard something, footsteps. Before she knew it she felt someone grab her shirt and yank her up. Max threw a right punch but felt it was caught.

"Max?" a familiar voice asked.

"Krit?" Max asked as water poured down from her face thanks to her long hair.

A confused look was on his face as he wore blue jeans with a blue t-shirt covered by a black leather jacket, his black hair spiked up.

"What are you doing?" Krit asked standing up, keeping a hold of her right wrist but also grabbing her right bicep and lifting her up and out of the bathtub.

"Nothing." Max lied as she felt Krit grab a towel and wrap around her shoulders.

"Sure doesn't look like nothing' baby sister." Krit said smiling putting his index finger under her chin.

Max laughed a little as did Krit and the next thing they knew, they were hugging.

"It's so good to see you again." Max said softly.

Krit grinned and kissed the top of her head. They parted and Krit looked down and saw the Max's cloths got his wet. Max laughed.

"Sorry." she admitted.

Krit chuckled as he looked at it.

"Nah, don't worry bout it." Krit said placing a hand on her back and ushering her into the living room.

"So what are you doing in Seattle?" Max asked talking a seat on her couch.

Krit took a seat across from her.

"Nothing." Krit said.

"Nothing?" Max questioned.

Krit chuckled.

"Now don't start that Maxie, I'm not Zack, I just came to check on you, no exposure they sky isn't falling, don't need your help or putting you in danger, just a friend brotherly visit to see how my youngest sister is up too." Krit said leaning back into the couch.

"Oh" Max said in a good way, thankful nothing was wrong this time.

"Well I am doing fine, everything's fine." Max said.

Krit nodded his head as he listened.

"And what about this Ames White guy?" Krit asked.

Max looked at him.

"How did you know about that?" Max asked.

Krit laughed evilly as he ran his thumb and index finger around his chin.

"Big brother has his ways." Krit said.

Max continued to look at him and eyebrow raised.

"Ok, ok, Logan told me." Krit settled.

"Thought so. He's a pain, worse than Lydecker." Max admitted.

Krit's eyes widened slightly.

"And he's a lot more powerful, I have fought this guy before and he's a familiar and they feel no pain so it's hard to beat him, he either gives up or I run. He would kill and he wants too I know he does." Max said sadly.

Krit sighed.

"Well, just keep being strong Max, I'll be here for a while so I'll help you anyway I can." Krit said.

"No, I don't want to bring you into this." Max said.

"I know but I will no one messes with our little Max." Krit said.

Max smiled and looked down, not bothering to argue, she knew him long enough that the one thing, out of the many things, they had in common was their stubbornness and when he wanted to do something, there was no stopping him.

"Thanks" Max said.

There was a long silence between them. Krit looked out the window, and then back at Max.

"Don't you have a job Max? Why aren't you at work?" Krit asked.

"I have a problem I work with a transgenic and well I need to stay away from him and you for another 4 hours." max said.

Krit grinned, understanding what was wrong.

"Don't worry Max, you're in heat, I know, I knew before I walked through that door, I don't give in to that temptation, Zack taught us not to do it and to fight it, so far I have. But good reason why your not working." Krit pointed out.

"Thanks." Max said.

"Well since your not going to work and you need fresh air to get your nerves flowing, why don't we go out for coffee?" Krit suggested. Max smiled.

"Ok, sounds good. But let me change first." Max said getting up and walking into her room.

Krit laughed.

"Yeah that would be the best idea." Krit said.

The two walked down the street together and watched numerous people walk by. Max could tell Krit was keeping a sharp eye out for trouble. After 15 minutes of walking Krit stopped and looked at his sister.

"What do you want?" Krit asked.

"Coffee with sugar and cream." Max answered.

"Comin' up." Krit said then crossed the street to a small coffee stand.

A figure stood leaning up against a parked car, eyeing Max. His blonde hair was spiked up and he wore a black shirt the stuck to his body tight with blue jeans and boots. His icy blue eyes glared at her and then at Krit, neither one of them noticing he was staring at them. He grinned as he approached Max.

Once he got close enough he clutched her throat tightly and pushed her back into the alley. The man pushed her back first into the wall and a fence. Her back made the fence rattle and her right hand hit the concrete wall, making it burn. Max made a notion to push herself off the fence and run but the man stood right in front of her and put his leg up to his right, bending it slightly, blocking her and completely trapping her in a corner.

"452, DAMN you have grown into such a beautiful woman." he said looking her over.

"What are you talking about?" Max hissed her hair falling in her face.

"Don't tell me you forget me." he said hurt.

Max studied him for a while then her face went blank.

"Pryce." she said.

"The one and only." Pryce said evilly.

Max had to pull all of her self control to keep herself from panicking, or crying.

"Aren't you suppose to be back at Manticore torturing them?" Max asked smartly.

"Well, yeah but I took time out of hectic schedule to come visit my long lost student. We all miss you, you know?" Pryce asked evilly.

"You mean you miss beating the crap out of me." max corrected.

Pryce smiled wider.

"Well you were always loosing on the training field 452, I was trying to make you tougher." Pryce said.

"To hell you were." Max said not buying any of it.

"HEY!" Pryce shouted almost in a growling mood.

Max jumped and made eye contact with the man. Pryce glared at her. Max tried hard to let her memories haunt her. Where was Krit? Max's bottom lip trembled, where was KRIT!? Pryce saw the action and grabbed her throat, right below the jaw.

"What are you scared 452?" he asked bringing his lips close to her ear and whispered it into her ear.

Max clutched his wrist that held her throat. Pryce then kissed her neck and threw her to the ground, running her into trash cans. Max groaned in pain.

"Tisk, Tisk, Tisk," Pryce said.

"Get up solider, NOW! Or you'll be sorry." Pryce said walking towards her.
