Ok, Chapter 4 Thanks for the reviews.
Remember: I don't own any of the Dark Angel Elements. Also this story is set during LATR, so some element you saw on the show.
The next day at Jam Pony Max waited for Alec to show up. He had been so emotional the night before and she was worried. Was he going to push her away today? She knew he took pride in being a good soldier and didn't know how to let himself give into emotion. Suddenly she looked up to see him enter Jam Pony. He was the old Alec cracking jokes and giving flirtatious glances to the ladies. He walked over to Normal and she watched as he leaned in to talk to Normal, probably about Becca. Normal nodded then Alec smiled and walked over to his locker, by Max. "Hey" Max said. "Hey Max, what's going on?" he replied. "You talk to Normal about Becca?" she asked. "Yeah, he'll hire her, she should be here soon".
Just then Alec stopped talking and nodded to the entrance, Max turned and in was walking Becca. Her hair was up in a pony tale and she wore black jogging pants with a white shirt, and a gray sweat jacket. Her green eyes landed on Alec and Max and she walked over to them. "OK, where do I sign up for team Jam Pony?" She asked with a smile. She nodded towards Max, "Hey Max, sorry about last night, stressful times" before Max could answer, Becca turned back to Alec. "Will he hire me?" she asked. "Yeah, I talked to him, let me go introduce you." He replied. He looked her over and noticed faint circles around her eyes and that her smile seemed a little forced, but she was covering great, keeping up conversation.
Of course Normal hired her, she charmed him with her interest in his management skills, and before you knew it he sent her on a run with Max. He watched them leave wondering how that would work out. He was sure it would be fine as long as Max didn't push her.
Max and Becca rode out to the first run. "Nice bike" Max said when they stopped, "Where did you score that?" "Over of 8th, I got it with my discount." "Discount?" Max asked. Becca smile mischevioulsy, "Yeah, my 10 finger discount!" and laughed. Max wasn't sure what to think, Becca was acting fine, and she knew from experience that this meant nothing, but it was weird. She didn't know if she should say anything, but then again she was worried. She was sure that Becca and Biggs were lovers, but it seemed as if Biggs had never existed. "Hey, Becca" Max started hesitantly "if you ever need to, you know, talk. I am here." Becca stopped fiddling with her bag, and looked at Max "I am fine Max, don't sweat it" she said quickly "Look, lets split up theses last pick-ups, I'll meet you back at base" she didn't wait for Max answer, but peddled off. Max stared off after her, wondering what Becca was really thinking.
Later at Logan's.
Logan looked up a distracted by the knock on his door. He was even more surprised when he opened it to find not Max but Rebecca. "Rebecca?" he asked "What are you doing here?" " Hey Logan, look I was just going to offer um, if you need any 'Eyes Only' stuff done, I have some free time that popped up. I should you know, give back and all" she replied, smile on her face. "Actually, I do have something, I haven't figured out how to get it worked, it's dangerous even for you guys." Logan said hesitantly. "Come in, and see, I didn't run it by Max yet, to see what she thought" "I'll take it!" Becca said eagerly walking in, too eagerly Logan thought but he needed the help. He closed the door, and followed her to the plans he laid out in the kitchen. **************************************************************************** ******************************** Crash
Alec sat drinking at the bar, swirling his scotch, and thinking. He decided to stop by Beccas he had checked her address on the application and decided that he owed it to Biggs to stop by and check on her. He looked around Crash and looked eyes with Max; he swallowed the rest of his drink and walked over. "Max" with his usual grin, "what are you doing out and about, no secret mission for your 'we're not like that' boyfriend?" "Shut up Alec, We still awkward, it is too weird, not that it's your business." She said with a scowl. "Fine" he rolled his eyes "have you seen Becca? She showed up at Jam Pony gave Normal her slips and walked out. Though maybe you knew what was up". "No, she ditched me, and took off." Max replied harshly, then she softened "She is not talking to me much; I have no idea what is going on with her". Alec stuffed his hands in his pocket and was quiet for a second, he wanted to tell Max it wasn't her, and he knew she cared, but it wasn't easy opening up. He swallowed and looked at Max to find her looking at him quizzically. "Its cool Max, she will be fine" he said and turned away. Max looked back to her beer, feeling like her emotions were spinning out of control. It's not like I don't try to understand, I just keep getting shot down. -- Alec walked down the hallway to Beccas apartment, it had only been 24 hrs since Biggs had died, he knew Becca was hurting and but he didn't know how she was really handling everything. He stopped at 34c and knocked, when there was no answer he used his enhanced hearing but didn't hear anyone inside. He frowned, it was 12:48am where was she, he wondered.
481 stepped to the edge of the roof; she just had to into the building and into the file room. It didn't seem as dangerous as Logan said- yeah there were a lot of guards but she could handle that. She checked to make sure she had the memory chip; she had 2min to search and download what Logan needed. She used the roof access to get in and snuck through the building; she found the file room and proceeded to download the information. There was a weird noise coming from the computer, that's when she noticed the blinking red light, a silent alarm. "Damn" she listened but didn't hear anyone coming yet; she finished downloading and put the chip in her back pocket. She opened the door and slipped out. Suddenly she heard movement and there were guards everywhere, she knocked out the light and starting taking out men, she felt something connect with her head, and her vision blinked, but she shook it off just as one of the guards just started firing, she smirked, 'Moron, he taking out his own men!' She turned to take off down the hall, but just as she reached the end of the hall, she felt a searing pain in her side, she kept running and jumped through the window to the street below, she got up and ran into the alley, then she ran toward Logan's apartment X5s are trained to ignore pain and finish the mission and she was doing that. She stopped suddenly feeling dizzy, disoriented she looked around, how far was the apartment? She leaned against the wall of the building, it was so hard to breathe, her side hurt, her head hurt, she reached for her cell phone, but couldn't think who to dial, the mission; she felt for the chip, it was there. Suddenly panicked she was on a mission, she tried to concentrate it was so hard, she was tired, she focused, she had to get the chip to the guy in the apartment. She pulled away from the wall, she couldn't stop now. She stumbled, then looked around seeing a car coming she stepped into the road stopping it, walking to the drivers side she grabbed the door. "I need your car-get out" She pulled her gun out and pointed it at the driver, a young very scared woman, who got out quickly. 481 got in the car; she pushed the gas, and drove away. ****************************************************************************
Logan heard the sound behind him and turned from the computer, his eyes widened. "Rebecca?" he asked the figure standing there. "uh-yeah, look I finished the mission, I didn't mess up" She mumbled, "need 494, He is around here, right?" tremors doubled her over, and Logan moved towards her. "Stop!" She leveled the gun at him with a shaking hand. "I need....Crap! Call my partner. I have partner..... I always have one..." Logan stepped toward the phone, "You need help, I can call Max, or Alec, but you need a doctor." He reasoned with her, "Let me call them" She reached her hand to the wall for support "If you mess with me I will kill you" she managed to get out. Logan was calm as he dialed. "I am a good soldier, I completed the mission" 481 kept mumbling, sagging against the wall.
Alec woke up to the phone, "Logan, its late" he said, "Alec, you need to get over here, its important," Logan's voice replied. "I have someone here who needs help" "Is Max ok?" replied reaching for his pants. "It's not Max, but if you could get her and get over here its important." Logan's voice lowered "it's Rebecca and she's hurt" "We will be right there" Alec said as he rushed out. He hung up with Logan and dialed Max. "Max you need to get to Logan's, Becca is there and something is wrong." "On my way" Max replied.
Logan watched as Rebecca leaned against the wall. She was pale, and shaking. He could see she was hurt, but not sure where, he was concerned. "Rebecca" he said, taking a step. She looked up, he could tell she was weak, "I didn't fail" she pushed out. She was shaking, "No one can be angry... No Lasers" She pointed the gun at Logan, a determined look on her pale face.
