SUMMARY: Set after Freak Nation. A miss understanding turns into some truth telling and decision making for our transgenic pair.
SPOILERS: Everything!
DISCLAIMER: All Dark Angel characters belong to James Cameron, FOX, etc. etc. etc.
FEEDBACK: Always makes me smile! :)
DEDICATION: To all the Nuns at the Church of Jensen, the Blue Lady, and of course Jensen!
RANT: Okay… I did the stupid thing and watched Freak Nation with the commentary. Can I actually say I'm HAPPY that DA was canceled? Seriously what Cameron and/or what the writers wanted to do…. UGH! So, with that annoyance in my head, I just had to correct a few things, or I couldn't live with myself, whatever this will be (obviously, writing this, before I write my fic) is the result of this huge annoyance. SO… let's see how it goes. ;)

Her ear rested against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, feeling his hand caress her back. "How bad do you think it will get?"
He sighed, "I don't know Max. I really don't know."
_______________________________
He still couldn't believe it, even as his eyes roamed over the person next to him. Her dark hair was spread out on the pillow. Her tanned skin barely covered by the sheet over the two of them. Her eyes closed in peaceful slumber.
She was in a deep sleep. That fact alone still had him in awe. She was doing something, that she barely ever did, and right next to him. She was sound asleep, at her most vulnerable, lying right next to him. His hand gently moved over her shoulder, and her body turned towards him, curling up to his side. His smile got bigger. The knowledge that his touch had her unconsciously move closer to him. That his movement didn't wake her.
His lips kissed her forehead softly. His hand reached for hers that had moved over his chest, and held onto it. Yep. He had decided. He could stay like this forever and be perfectly happy. He wasn't sure how it had all changed. He wasn't exactly sure as to why. But it didn't really matter. All that mattered is that it did, and now he was happy. She was there in his arms, and if he had anything to say about it, she would stay there.
Her leg moved over his, and her nose nuzzled into his side. His grin grew as he felt her start to stir next to him. Then her eyelashes began to flutter against his skin, and his body squirmed from the slight tickle. A small giggle came from his side, and the tickle happened again. His body twitched once more, and he looked down at her. "Oh you think that's funny do you?"
She giggled and her fingers lightly moved over the same spot, and his body jumped to the side. His hand came to her wrist, pulling it to his chest with the other one. Her dark eyes sparkled back at him. "Ohhh Alec's ticklish!" She struggled against him, trying to get her hands free.
"Oh no you don't." He said holding on tightly to both her wrists as she tried to get leverage and pull away. He just pulled her closer.
She laughed and rolled with him, over him. Looking down into his eyes, her hands trapped between them. An evil look coming over her face, she started to move her fingers, and they played over his chest. He jumped slightly, making her laugh more. She soon found her arms moving up, going over both their heads, and her body stretched out over him. Her face inches from his, his warm breath on her cheeks.
Max moved her hips slightly over him, and he let out a soft groan. He pulled her arms higher over him, pulling her down further. He saw her dark eyes grow wider, her pupils dilating, and his head tilted up capturing her lips with his. Her tongue snaked its way into his mouth, and hips moved up against hers. A moan came from the woman above him, and he did it again to hear more. He wasn't disappointed.
He broke the kiss, and her eyes slowly opened, looking down at him. He swallowed at the hungry look she returned. "If I let you go," he said as he lightly pulled on her wrists again, "Will you be good?"
The temptress above him, licked her bottom lip, and then spoke as she moved her hips, "Define good?"
Alec groaned as he released her wrists, his arms going around her, as his mouth attacked hers once more.

{{And while sixty some more cases have been reported in…}} The news anchor stopped abruptly, putting her hand to her ear.
This got the attention of the two transgenics watching.
{{This just in. Can we switch to the live feed?}} Seconds later, the image turned into the pressroom at the white house. A group of reporters and others all standing around waiting. {{We just got word that in about five minutes, the president will be giving a…}}
Mole looked at all the people in the room, and then seeing one person in particular…"Oh crap!"
"What?" Luke asked.
"Get Alec here." He replied, and Luke hesitated not understanding. "NOW! Right NOW."
Luke ran over to the phone, speed dialing one.
Mole shook his head, looking at the man standing to the side of the podium. "This is not good. This is soooo NOT going to be good."

He felt lips press feather light kisses to his shoulder and he slowly opened his eyes. Beautiful dark ones looked back at him. He leaned down and kissed her, and then rolled them both onto his back. His hands started to caress her bare back as she stretched out over him. He swore he could almost hear a purr come from her as she settled her head on his chest.
She sighed in contentment, but then a wicked smile played over her features. Her hand moved to his side, and one finger lightly grazed over his side, and his whole body jumped making her giggle.
"Why you little…" he barely got out before she did it again. His hands instantly tried to capture hers.
Max laughed again as she tried to dodge his questing hands and hers tried to continue to find his ticklish spots. They rolled around the bed, the sheet wrapping around them. Laughing and gigging was soon joined by a phone ringing.
"Give up?" He asked. Her body pinned under him. Another ring.
"Never!" She yelled, using the leverage of her foot on the bed to roll them both over. Another ring.
He let her have the momentum and she went to far, dragging them both over the edge and into a heap on the floor. Both groaned at the contact with the hard surface as the persistent phone rung again. They both sighed, their attention moving to his coat under the bed. He reached into the pocket and grabbed the ringing cell phone. He pressed the button and put it to his ear, "This better be…" He stopped, "We'll be right there."

The door swung open and the two quickly ran over to the television. "What the hell is he up to?"
Mole shook his head, "Not sure, the press conference is about to start. But it just can't be good."
Max shook her head, and wrapped her arms around herself, "Whenever White is involved… it won't be good." Her eyes narrowed at the man standing off to the side on the screen in front of her.
The reporters quickly started finding their seats as the person at the podium started to speak.
She looked up at Alec. "What do you think he's done now."
He swallowed, shaking his head, indicating that he had no clue.
The President was soon at the podium and began to speak. {{Ladies and Gentleman. I am pleased to inform you that through government intelligence we have learned where this virus originated from…}}
Alec briefly closed his eyes, already knowing where this was going. His brain already trying to process where to go from here as the man continued to talk.
{{The escaped transgenic population has spread his disease upon the population…}}
Max gasped slightly, her arms tightening around herself. Anger shot out of her eyes at White standing to the side with a small smirk on his face.
{{But with the help of the CDC we can fight what these monsters have brought upon us.}}
All eyes watching the television widened.
{{While the virus is generally not life threatening. There have already been twelve deaths reported, and that number is likely to grow if not stopped.}}
Her head lowered at the number, and she felt his hand lightly rub against her back.
{{Ladies and Gentleman I am proud to tell you that we have a cure.}}
"No…" Max started, "No. No, no no no no." This couldn't be happening.
{{The cure is being produced at a massive rate. It is already starting to be shipped out all over the world.}}
Alec snapped his fingers and Luke got his signal and ran over to his computer, while dialing Dix's number at the same time.
{{We can stop this epidemic before it gets anymore out of control.}}
He looked over at Mole. "I want a sample of that 'cure' over to the lab tech's… Yesterday!"
The reptilian nodded pulling out his cell phone as he walked to the exit.
Max watched the triumphant face of White on the screen, and her arms dropped to her sides, her hands in fists. "This can't be happening…"
Alec shook his head, "Oh… it's happening." He ran his hand through his hair. He should have known. He should have known White and the breeding cult would have had something up their sleeve.
She looked over at him, and watched him go and sit on the couch. She sat on the coffee table in front of him, her hands resting on his knees. He leaned his forehead against hers. "You don't think it's possible that this 'cure' would also work on the virus from the comet do you?" she asked.
His eyes looked into her hers. The answer to her question stared back at her. She swallowed and spoke, "Didn't think so."
Alec sighed, his brain trying out multiple scenarios in his head. The ending of each one not something he liked.
"What are we going to do?"
He took a deep breath. "We are going to wait and see what our lab guys say."
She nodded, "But we already know what they are going to say. So then what?"
He closed his eyes, "We stop it from going out."
Max sat up, "If we do that… they will KNOW we did."
He nodded in confirmation.
"The government will come in here after us… or worse… just bomb us off the map."
He closed his eyes nodding again.
"We'll be making a war between humans and transgenics because they won't realize that we are actually trying to save them from the familiars"
Hazel eyes opened again as his head continued to agree with her.
"We can't let that happen!"
He reached out, took her hands from his knees, and held onto them. "If we don't… the rest of the world will die."
