Chapter 4: The Cure

After that fiasco Alec had called Normal to tell him that they wouldn't be in today. As soon as he hung up with Normal he looked at Max.

"Are you sure?" he asked, knowing she would know what he was talking about.

She smiled, "I am completely positive." She said walking towards him and kissing him softly on the lips.

When they finally pulled apart, Alec whistled loudly. Which was responded to by Max hitting him in the shoulder. He tried to fake pain, but she could see right through him. Alec still had one question though,

"When?" he asked slightly confused.

Max simply shrugged, and replied. "Since the moment you walked into my cell back at Manticore, I knew that you would never be out of my life."

Alec smirked, "I guess I am pretty hard to get rid of." Which was responded to with a punch to the shoulder.

*******

Alec and Max had talked for a while now. They had talked about work, Manticore, and other significant things in their lives. They both wanted to get to know the other. When, in the middle of the conversation.

Beep.Beep.Beep.

Max looked down at her pager. "It's Logan." She simply said.

"You can use my phone," he said handing her his cell.

She dialed his number.

"Hello." She heard his voice. He sounded like he wasn't even paying any attention, besides to his computer.

"It's me, what'cha ya need?"

"Could you come over, I need to talk to you?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll be over soon." Alec heard this and thought she had changed her mind. Now she wanted to be with Logan. He bent his head down into his hands.

"Alec, wanna come with me to Logan's?" she asked smiling at him.

He looked up and saw her smiling. She wasn't changing her mind, she just need to go and see him.

He quickly stood up and took her offered hand.

They walked hand in hand to Max's motorcycle. Max stopped and motioned for Alec to climb on. He looked at her questionly, but still got on and once he had, he felt her slip on behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he gunned the motorcycle, taking off towards Logan's penthouse.

When they got their Max slid off and took Alec's hand in her own. They rode the elevator up, when they reached Logan's they just walked in, like usual.

"Logan, what'd ya need?" she asked calling through the empty apartment.

"Hey Max." Logan said as he walked around the corner smiling, but his smile quickly fading once he saw Alec.

"Max, I need to talk to you, alone." He added with an icy glare pointedly at Alec.

"Okay," she said shrugging, "Alec, do you think you can give us a minute?"

"Sure."

He walked into the kitchen, so he was away, but he could still hear them talking.

"Max, I found it."

"Found what?"

"The cure." He said holding up a vial of bluish liquid.

Max was in a haze, she sat down and Logan injected it into her.

Logan put his hand on her cheek and started to caress it.

This was too much for Alec, he opened the window, and climbed down the side of the building.

He didn't get to see the part where Max slapped Logan's hand away from her face.

"What are you doing?"

"Max, I love you."

"I'm sorry Logan, I love someone else." And with that she stood up and went into the kitchen only to find it empty, with an open window.

She ran out of the kitchen, out of his apartment, down the steps and out the building.

"Alec!" she called.

She felt her eyes well up with tears, it wasn't fair. She was just going to start having a normal life with Alec, when again, Logan had to butt in again.

She got on her bike and rode to Joshua's.

She opened the molding door. "Joshua!"

"Hey little fella."

"Is Alec here, has he been here?" she asked hopefully.

"No, Alec not been here today, or yesterday." He said looking confused.

"I gotta go Big fella." With that she too ran out of Joshua's house.

She got on her bike and went to Jam Pony, he wasn't there. She went to his apartment, he wasn't there. She searched all day. She was so stressed out she needed to think. So, she went to the only place she could think, the Space Needle.

She trudged slowly up the steps, when she walked out the door to the outside she felt the wind. It felt good, it was so free. She looked out to the horizon, and was surprised to see a figure sitting here already.

In a small voice she asked, "Alec?"

"What do you want Max? You have Logan, what more do you want?" she could feel the hatred in his voice.

"Alec, the only reason I took the cure-"

He cut her off, "I don't want to hear it Max, I thought we had connected." He said standing up and turning around. He walked past her into the Space Needle, and that easily gave up any hope for anything between them. Or so they both thought.

AN: Hey! Major thanks to everyone that reviewed! Also, I wanna thank Zille she helped me a ton! She helped form the direction the story is going in. I think it will be 1 or 2 more chapters. But, don't worry I'm going to write a sequel. It has something to do with Alias. One night I was bored so I watched it, and I thought up a good story for DA. Well I gotta go! Review!
