Pairing: MA eventually, CA friendship
Max, meanwhile, was sitting in HQ praying that a breeze would blow her way while fanning herself with a paper fan she made with some list she found on her desk. Throughout the course of the morning, she had been bombarded with many transgenics wanting to talk to her for no apparent reason, but what she didn't notice was that all of these transgenics were male.
Alec walked into HQ and could straightaway smell someone. He followed the scent to a large group that had gathered around his desk that he shared with Max, to find Max seated on a chair, skin glistening and a permanent seductive smile playing on her lips, being fawned over by both male X series and transhumans alike.
"Urgh, why do the women in my life have to do this?" he said to himself and promptly picked her up and carried her out of HQ. Or that was the plan. As soon as he had picked up growls could be heard from behind him which made him stop.
OC chose this time to walk in and see a sight she thought she'd never see. There was Alec carrying Max, who was sitting comfortably in his arms whilst stroking him in a somewhat provocative manner, surrounded by most of the males inside HQ at that moment in time. Growls of anger and predatorial looks that are only seen on animal documentaries could be experienced in waves. She decided that she should intervene or at least see what all the commotion was for, so she made her way through the crowd and finally reached the epicentre.
"Alec, sugah, what are you doing?" asked Cindy in a conversational tone.
"She's in heat, and needs to get out of here. Can you believe she was just sitting here with everyone 'round? You'd think she had more sense." Said Alec carefully watching the other transgenics furtively.
"Err, should you be around her if she's, y'know, in heat?" asked OC trying to slowly moving Alec and Max from the crowd.
"Trust me, Cindy, I'm sick of women in heat." He said with a sigh making Cindy wonder why a man, an X5 man at that, would be so down about ready women.
"Don't think we're gonna be able to lose da crowd, sugah. Why don't I take her?" said Cindy as she instructed Alec to put down Max.
"D'ya know where Hot Row is?" he asked whilst still pinning down the males with a steely glare.
"I heard of it but I'm sure I can get instructions." Said Cindy holding Max, who was trying her best to get physical contact with Alec and continued to purr enticingly which kept arousing the gang of male species that had formed. "Will you cool it gurl? Original Cindy does not wanna put the smack down on ya but she will if you carry on." This seemed to subdue Max for the moment.
"Okay, but make sure you only ask the fairer sex for the directions. And I'll follow you to make sure you don't ambushed." He whispered the last bit.
"Don't ya think you're bein' kinda melodramatic 'bout dis?" asked Cindy who had gone back to keeping Max away from, what she assumed was, Alec.
"Cindy, X5s will practically tear their own kin apart to be with a female during heat. It drives us wild. The pheromones screw with our heads." Said Alec glaring at the crowd of transgenics that had just got bigger.
"How come you're not getting' all flustered then?" asked Cindy curious.
"Some can hold their heads." Said Alec and then to himself, "And I've had enough of women in heat to last a lifetime." Cindy heard this again but didn't say anything. Instead she dragged a grudging Max out whilst Alec held off the furious transgenic males in HQ with a few jabs and roundhouse kicks he was off following them from afar.
As Cindy arrived on Hot Row she saw a tiger transhuman come out of the buildings. "Hey, Shy. Which rooms are free?"
"Sorry Cindy, they're all full." Replied Shy.
"Damn." Muttered Cindy.
"Sorry."
"S'okay, sugah."
As Shy walked off, Alec seemed to replace her.
"What are you doing outside?" he asked her whilst quickly keeping his distance again when he saw Max struggling against Cindy.
"No rooms left." Was her only reply.
"Please say your joking." Whined Alec.
"Sorry sugah." Said Cindy whilst looking back at the building. "You think she can share wit someone."
"She's not exactly the most popular of transgenics, Cindy." Said Alec backing further.
"Hey, I resent that." Yelled Max but then quickly smiled suggestively saying, "But if you come closer I'll forgive you."
Alec's hand quickly went into his pocket and retrieved his tranquilliser gun. "Okay, I know who she can bunk with." He said as he walked ahead of the two towards the building.
After Alec had left, Hazel had been sitting in her delegated room with her activities alternated between staring out the window, having a cold shower or figuring her way on the piano.
So when her door burst open with Cindy, Max and Alec barging their way in and closing the door quickly behind them she quickly jumped up ready to mash the people who spoilt her peace.
"Hey sugah." Said Cindy as she dumped Max on the couch and promptly sat on her.
As Alec closed the door, a series of thumps could be heard with strangled cat calls and scratches against the door.
"What the hell are you all doing here?" said Hazel quickly backing up into the farthest corner.
They seemed to ignore her at first as Alec gave Cindy the tranquilliser gun and said to Cindy, "If I lose my cool, hit the girl with one of these."
"Heloooo. This is my room. What the hell are you all doing here?" repeated Hazel louder.
"All the rooms are full." Said Alec without looking at her but trying to hear what was going on behind the door.
"So, why is she here?" asked Hazel again.
"Please Hazel. No one else is gonna share with her without harming her." Said Alec this time facing her.
"So I have to fucking share with her?" shrieked Hazel striding towards him but quickly moving back again.
"It's only for a few days." Said Cindy carefully, understanding there was a bit of a situation.
"How do you know I won't hurt her?" asked Hazel breathing heavily.
"'Cos I know you." Said Alec taking a step forward, with Hazel, simultaneously, taking a step back.
"Why me?" she ended up muttering.
"Please, Hazel." Pleaded Alec.
"Fine, just leave." Relied Hazel turning around.
Alec moved towards the front door again with Cindy right behind him while Max basked in the breeze that entered the room from the open window.
"Is there any out there?" asked Cindy.
"Dunno, can't hear no one." Said Alec listening hard again.
"There are people there." Said Hazel quietly, "Your best bet's out the window."
Cindy moved towards the window and said, "It's a drop. Can you jump that?"
"Easily." Said Alec as he looked as well, "What about you?"
"I'll go the stairs. None of them will jump me, right?" she said.
"No." said Alec as he quickly jumped the safety bars.
Cindy soon made her way out as well.
"So," said Max, "I guess it's just us."
Hazel just rolled her eyes and went back to the piano.
"Boo, you sure it's cool to put those two together?" asked Cindy as both Alec and her walked back to TC central.
"Yeah, they need to get along at some point. Just call it a bonding experience." Replied Alec shrugging slightly.
"You believe dat?" asked Cindy looking at Alec doubtfully.
"I'm hopin'." Sighed Alec.
"Dat's wat I thought." muttered Cindy.
