Disclaimer: I don't own Max or Logan either. Why would anyone WANT to own
Logan? I don't own White or Ben either. I sure do wish I owned Alec though.
Notes: Why do I bring Zack back in? 'Cuz I can. 'Cuz I had nothing better to do. 'Cuz I didn't feel like making Eva explain some stuff later on in the story. I think my laziness is the main reason. ::shrugs shoulders:: I'm over it.

Alec knocked on the door. Max opened it and scowled. "I didn't say to bring a date", she said. I laughed. "Now Maxie...Is that any way to treat your baby sister?" Max looked at me. "What the hell are you talking about? I don't even know who you are!" I looked at Alec and said, "Zack had a similar reaction." Alec laughed and said to Max, "She's an original Manticore. We worked together overseas." Then I turned around. "Check my barcode, Max", I said.
"How can this be though", Max asked. "How is it that you are alive?" I guess it was time for an explanation. "They revived me and I spent a year going through recovery and physical therapy. You would think a year off from training would be great but they made me take all sorts of Field Med classes. They wouldn't return me to our unit after I recovered. I think it was because of my unruliness. Then I heard rumors that you guys escaped. A few years later I was partnered with Alec for a mission over in Spain."
Logan wheeled into the room. "Eva, these discs...well, it's amazing. This information has helped solve a big piece of the puzzle. Max...I think there's hope for your virus" I shrugged my shoulders, "Not a problem...I have some more in my bag downstairs."
I gave the rest of my "borrowed" discs and file folders to Logan and I followed Max to the space needle. We talked until she had to go to work.
I found out about her and Logan. She also told me about Alec. Then I told her a little about him. I told her what they did to him back at Manticore. They tortured both of us in unimaginable ways. I told her that I couldn't believe he was still alive and sane. I didn't tell her what they did to me though...it was hard telling her about Alec.
In the weeks passing, Max and I became close friends. Alec became more than a friend, which disgusted Max but she was happy that I was happy.
After a long day of work, and a short night of partying, I was exhausted. Alec and I went back to his place. I had basically moved in, although I still kept some things at Max's. I quickly fell asleep beside Alec.
For some reason, I have trouble sleeping for longer than an hour or so. I lay silently beside Alec, not wanting to wake him. I was lost in thought until I heard a door open. I heard footsteps. I reach under my pillow and pulled out my Smith. It could be Max...it could be White...it could be fucking Santa Claus.
The door slowly opened and Zack stepped in. "Zack? What the hell are you doing sneaking through Alec's apartment in the middle of the night?" I stuffed the Smith back under my pillow, and waited for his response. "I wanted to make sure you were okay", he said. He glanced at Alec. "From the looks of things, you're doing pretty good. You know boyfriends are a hazard to you...sleeping with some guy you met at the bar is also a hazard."
Alec turned over. "What the fuck?" he said when he saw Zack. He had never met him before, so he had no idea who I was talking to. "Zack, Alec's not just some guy. He's Manticore." Then Zack saw his face. "You look like Ben", he said to Alec. "Probably because I'm Ben's twin", Alec said as he rolled over to go back to sleep. "Great", Zack said. "Just great. You're sleeping with a transgenic now...even more of a hazard!" I rolled my eyes. "Zack...Just go sleep on the couch and we'll talk in the morning."
Alec went back to sleep but I couldn't so I went to talk to Zack. "Want some coffee?" I asked Zack. He shook his head and I went back to making me a pot of caffeine.
Turns out, Zack was just passing through town. We talked till dawn and then he was on the road again. I gave him my new cell number and a picture taken recently of Alec and I. The good thing about Zack stopping by was I didn't have to tell him about Alec and I.

Due to an impressively short attention span, I got off track again. ::shrugs shoulders:: I'm over it.
