Alec shot up and left as quickly as possible going into the coffee store and through it to the back door.

"Alec." Cindy called out wanting to know what was wrong.

Pryce shook his head, sighing as he darted down the alley. Alec pushed the back door to the coffee store open and ran down the stairs as quickly as he could just in time to run right into Pryce. Alec bounced off him and landed on the wet concrete.

"Hey 494, old buddy, where you runnin' off to in such a hurry?" Pryce asked smiling taking his sunglasses off as he watched Alec land on the ground.

Alec stood up and looked at Pryce.

"No where important." Alec lied.

"Good then you have time to… sit and chat with me." Pryce said smiling putting his sunglasses in his pocket.

"I never said that, I just said I wasn't going anywhere important." Alec pointed out grinning.

"Umm smart ass huh?" Pryce asked not liking his attitude.

Alec shrugged then looked him dead in the eye.

"What'd you do with Max?" he demanded.

"Oh don't worry bout her 494, I would be more conserved about yourself. But if you MUST know, Max is fine. At Manticore." Pryce said glaring back at him raising his fists.

{I can't beat him}

{Yes you can you're stronger, you can take him, you're just scared}

Logan's words floated inside his head. He's right. Alec thought then spun around and kicked out his leg and attempted to hit him in the chest. Pryce lifted up his left foot and blocked it with his shin. Pryce immediately ducked as Alec's fist flew over his head and shot back up once it wized over him. Pryce caught the next punch Alec threw, and kicked him in his right side with the left side of his foot. Alec winced but recovered quickly.

"How did you catch my fist?" Alec demanded glaring at him.

"Manticore scientists." Pryce began throwing a punch at him which Alec blocked then kicked at him which Alec blocked with his foot as well.

"Made a serum." Pryce continued as he blocked one of Alec's punches and grabbed his arm throwing him into the wall.

"That gave me the powers……..of an X7." Pryce finished as Alec ran at him but once Alec got close enough, Pryce put his hands on Alec's shoulders, and flipped over his head and kicked him in the back, causing him to fly chest first into the wall.

Pryce smiled in pleasure, trying to catch his breath, sweat running down the sides of his face. Alec groaned in pain as the wall made a long cut on his forehead. The cut felt as if it was on fire it burned badly.

"X7, but that's-"

"Stronger, than X5 I know, WHY do people keep saying that? Do they think I am dumb and don't know that?" Pryce complained and blocked his punch and punched him hard in the face.

Pryce then grabbed a teaser from his coat pocket. Alec widened his eyes slightly as he looked at it and then raised his eyes to Pryce's.

"Your trying to take me back to Manticore aren't you?' Alec realized.

"Trying? No." Pryce said then elbowed him in the face and stuck him with the weapon.

"So I am thinking if we take the existing X6's and move them next to the nomilies, then it might make the nomilies adapt to being around the X series." Renfro suggested to Ames as he sat in the chair in front, nodding at every word she said.

Suddenly Pryce busted through the door, scaring Ames and Renfro. Pryce glared at both of them and threw Alec down in front of them.

"It didn't work at first. 6 times! 6 times I had to hit him with the freakin' thing!" Pryce shouted in anger, wiping blood from his lip.

Renfro looked at Alec's unconscious body then at Pryce who was heaving.

"Good job. You earned your paycheck this week." Ames said smiling.

Pryce shook his head.

"Thanks." he said then walked out of the room, leaving Alec there.

"UH PRYCE, one more thing." Ames called out.

Ames saw Pryce stop in frustration then walk back in the room.

"Yeah I know, I know." Pryce mumbled as he grabbed Alec's ankle and drug him on the floor down the hall.

********************2 months pass************************

Max sat in front of Ames's desk. The scenery hasn't changed, she has been in this seat many times and most she regretted it. Though she possibly couldn't think of why she was now but she prayed she didn't do anything wrong. Soon Ames entered the room.

"Congratulations 452, you are going on your first mission." Ames said throwing a file on the desk.

Max looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yea, it's kinda test mission, to see how you behave, if you follow orders, complete the mission, etc. The man that will be grading you on this and accompanying you and teaming up with you on this mission, is none other than Pryce Martin." Ames said taking a seat.

Max's heart stopped. NOOOO WAY!!

"What, no I can't do this, someone else, please anyone else!" Max blurted out, begging.

"It's not my choice 452, Pryce is required to go with every transgenics first mission. He has to, so that's that." Ames said.

"Please Ames." Max begged.

Ames shot up and walked over to her grabbing her throat. Max clutched his arm that had her throat and looked into his eyes.

"I SAID THAT WAS THAT, no more!" Ames growled then let her violently go.

Max clutched her throat, coughing and breathing in deeply. Ames glared at her as he retook his seat. Max looked out of the window onto the field where she saw X5s fightening and Pryce shouting at one and beating him down. Great Max thought, wanting to cry.
