A/N: REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
The TC infirmary was packed with the odd transhuman and older X series but was mainly crammed with X6, 7 and 8s. Funnily enough, with all these people crowded in this building, only two beds were occupied.
Hazel sat on her bed with one leg bent up, blood soaking her borrowed trousers; whilst Max, sprawled on her bed, breathed with the difficulty of one who had been severely winded, in fact that was what exactly happened.
Flashback:
Hazel seemingly sailed threw the air. Her leap was amazing enough. No one in the crowd had ever seen anyone reach the dizzying heights that Hazel reached, but her landing was something else. After attaining the summit of her jump, she bent her leg in a kung fu move and crashed down at her clueless opponent.
Max stood on the mat, frantically turning round, trying to see where her annoying opposition went. It was only when she heard the many mutterings of "look up there!" her head shot up. And there she stood in shock as a determined Hazel kicked her with the power of, what seemed like, three mother elephants protecting their brood. The wind knocked out of her completely, she fell to the ground, wheezing horribly, as she tried to gulp as much air as she could.
Hazel's landing after kicking Max to victory, was unfortunately on the concrete ground. She slid 10 ft across the rough floor, which managed to, not only rip Alec's jog pants but also, sand paper of her skin; blood gushed from her severed capillaries.
Everyone stood shocked for a moment, at what just happened, but soon activity had begun again. Gem went to Max who was on all fours, still trying to devour as much oxygen as her lungs could take in; whilst Chloe went straight to Hazel who got up by herself but swayed slightly, the after effects of her time in the air.
The two impromptu doctors ushered their patients to the infirmary as Alec, Mole, the kids, and others followed quickly.
End of flashback
"I still don't get how you got that high, Haze." Said Alec as he sat on a chair between Max and Hazel's beds.
"Well, I didn't mean to go that high, it just sorta happened. The adrenaline took me, I guess." She said shrugging her shoulder. Blood was still seeping from her thigh. The ripped trousers were taken off and she was now wearing a pair of Alec's boxers that Joshua went and got for her.
"First you tear my clothes, now you're soaking my boxers with blood." Moaned the handsome transgenic.
"Will you shut up. I may die of blood loss and all you can do is moan about your clothes." Shot Hazel as Chloe came with more cloths to soak up the flowing blood.
"Jeez, you're both drama queens. I mean, it's just like old times." Said Kat smiling happily at her companions, just as she heard Max wheeze unhealthily.
"You okay?" asked Trigger.
"Yeah..(cough).I'm good.(cough)." Max managed to get out. Then after a minute at looking at the group by Hazel's bed asked, "Who are you?"
Alec jumped up from his chair a said, "You guys haven't been introduced yet have you?"
He didn't even wait for a response before saying, "This is Kat, Trigger and Ember. They are the last remaining X5s from my unit."
At his words, Max noticed the others host a far away look, but she didn't say anything about it.
"Tell me that you're not all like Alec." Said Max groaning.
Ember looked at Alec quizzically, Alec just rolled his eyes.
"Well they sure do make 'em fine." Said a new voice.
They turned to see Cindy. Alec had already introduced his unit to her and Sketchy so they were all acquainted.
"You girls know how to fight." Said Sketchy as he took a seat on the end of Max's bed.
"We just saw ourselves a goo' ol' cat fight. So ta speak." She said as she came up and sat on Alec's chair as he stood up for her, "You're jus' a gentleman at heart, aren't ya sweet fella?"
"You know it." Drawled Alec.
"You're all gonna need places to sleep." Ruffed Mole.
"Err.yeah.sure." Said Trigger who was still getting used to the green man.
"You want to stay together.? Or." asked Mole before being interrupted by Kat, who vigorously nodded her head 'yes'.
"Okay then.follow me." He replied walking out.
The three said their 'see ya laters'' and followed the transhuman.
"So.where's Log boy?" asked Alec taking over Chloe's task of mopping up the spilling blood from Hazel.
"Don't call him that." Said Max but the comment lacked its usual angry lustre and sounded tired.
"Yeah.okay.so where is he?" repeated Alec whilst carefully disposing of the soaked fabric.
"He got stopped outside the infirmary. He's not allowed in apparently." Said Sketchy who gave Cindy a knowing look. She nodded back subtly, fighting a grin.
"Why?" asked Hazel wrapping the bandage around her wound.
"Somethin' 'bout contamination. Wasn't really listenin'." Replied Cindy.
"So you two enemy's? 'Cos you sure fight like it." asked Sketchy nodding at Max, who they saw was now fast asleep.
Hazel replied saying, "Nah. I think it was more a fight to see."
"Who's queen bee?" added Cindy grinning.
Hazel rolled her eyes, "No...don't need that title. Just set things straight."
"You sure as hell did that." Commented Alec as he tied the bandage up, "So, when am I gonna get my clothes back?"
Hazel quickly slapped his head and said, "Stop your belly aching. I'll get you your clothes back soon."
She tried to get up but her legs were too sore. Her thigh ached with the movement.
"C'mon. Less go to the cafeteria. You must be hungry." Said Cindy getting up and hooking arms with Sketchy.
"Ravenous, actually." Said Hazel as she moved to get up.
Alec quickly got to her, "Lean on me.mmm.I can already smell Josh's cooking." This caused a few chuckles.
As they reached the door, Alec looked back at the sleeping Max. He placed Hazel next to the door as Cindy and Sketchy carried on leaving. He went back to his off the cuff partner in crime, gave her a kiss on the forehead, put a blanket over her, and watched her for a moment, a small smile playing on his lips.
Hazel looked on at the scene, with sad eyes.
Alec soon turned to Chloe in the office and nodded to her. She acknowledged his signal with one of her own and he walked back to Hazel giving her an earnest smile. She smiled back and put her arm back onto his shoulder as he put his around her small waist. They then met their friends outside. The day was still stiflingly warm as the air hung moist. Together, they made their way to the cafeteria, passing a pallid looking Logan, to have Josh's culinary masterpiece.
A/N: So you've finally seen a bit of what Alec feels. This is gonna be a long fanfic, so the lead up to the climax is gonna be a while although I think it'll come soon.
