~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Quick get up here!" Alec yelled to Max who was following him, as they climbed up the side of the slippery building finally reaching the top.

"Out of all the days it rains in Seattle. It had to rain today!" Max yelled leaping from one building to the next.

Alec felt like telling her to shut up, but this was no time to fight about something stupid. After all sector cops were chasing them.

"Where do we go now?" Max asked looking around the rooftop of a building.

"Logan's." Alec declared looking over at Fogle Towers not very far away.

'Oh great!' Max thought. 'Now I have to pretend I'm with Alec. This is going to be uncomfortable. Maybe I should just tell Alec that Logan thinks we're together. Or maybe I'll tell him after we leave.' She thought tentatively.

Alec could still see the sector cops on their tails right down the street. Bullets were shot in all directions and Alec ran as fast as he could while the rain drenched him, which made it even harder to run.

Small and large puddles covered the street and Max cursed silently, hoping that her favorite pair of jeans wont get ruined. Meanwhile, they were getting closer to Logan's and Max was getting more and more nervous.

~*~*~*~

Logan sat at his desk reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. 'I wish Max would let me help her with this.' Logan thought as he looked through all the articles with headings such as 'FREAKS ON THE LOOSE!' and 'CAN YOU PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM MUTANTS?' and of course 'HELP ELIMINATE THE MUTANTS'

"She's so stubborn." Logan whispered to him self as he turned the page, but something interrupted. The door came retreating as Max busted through looking hotter then ever.

Logan stood up in surprise. "What happened Max?" he asked and noticed Alec tagging along. And how her tight, wet shirt was clinging to her form.

"I can't explain, sector cops are chasing us." She said quickly grabbing Alec's hand and dragging him to the closest bedroom and shutting the door behind them.

Logan stood in the middle of his living room in awe. Just then a man walked through the door, a sector cop.

"Sir, if you don't mind we are looking for two mutants we caught them sneaking into this building. Do you mind if I take a look around?" the man asked.

"Well actually-" Logan was about to oppose but the man was already looking around and began walking down the hall to the bedrooms.

The man cautiously walked the hallway, careful not get killed. He opened the closet door and took out his gun checking inside. Logan just followed him.

He opened the first bedroom door and there on the bed were Max and Alec laying and kissing passionately. Logan's mouth dropped.

"Daddy!" Max yelled jumping off of Alec. "You didn't have to bring the cops in here if you don't like my boyfriend!"

"I'm sorry Mr. Cale." Alec said like a teenager who was just caught by his girlfriend's parents. "I swear. I didn't do anything."

'I can't believe Max is pretending to be my daughter! Am I that old?' Logan asked himself insecurely.

The sector cop started laughing. "I'm sorry for the intrusion sir. I'll be on my way." The cop turned around and began walking out the door still laughing.

Max and Alec sighed in relief. 'Here comes the awkward part.' Max thought.

"I'm sorry Logan. We had to hide somewhere." She began.

"It's okay." He said sadly, he hadn't really accepted the fact that Max and Alec we're together. until now.

"No, it's not okay. I promised my self if we pulled this off I would tell you both the truth." She said.

"The truth?" Alec asked.

"Yes. Alec, I told Logan we were together." She admitted.

"What? Why?" he asked.

Logan stood in shock not really understanding what was going on. "Because, I didn't want to hurt Logan so this was the easiest way to push him away."

Alec didn't say anything. He turned around not wanting to look at him. "Why didn't you just tell him the truth Max? Huh? Why? Why do I always end up being the bad guy! I am sick of this Max! Your twisted little games that I do not want to be a part of anymore." He stopped briefly looking at Logan, the Max. "I'm out." He said and began walking out the door.

Max caught him. "Please Alec. I'm telling him the truth now. Please just hear this and if you don't ever want to speak to me again, I'll understand."

Alec decided to hear her, but he was still pissed as hell!

Max knew this was going to be hard, but it had to be done, for the sake of her love. She turned to Logan trying to find the words, but once she started talking the words just poured out like liquid.

"Logan, It's over. I don't want to be with you anymore. And I am sorry that it took this long for me to realize. I have wasted two years of my life and yours."

Logan just stood there and let the words hit him like hard concrete. "Somebody once told me, that we don't belong together, that humans and transgenics can't mix, and I've fought him for along time trying to make him realize that it's not true. But the more I fought him; I started slowly accepting the fact. And realizing what he meant." 'Where are these words coming from?' she thought.

"I fell in love with this man." She said glancing over at Alec. "And I know I should have told you sooner, but the truth is I didn't believe my self. I wanted our relationship to work out so bad. But it didn't. I hope you understand." She finished and walked toward Alec.

"Max." Logan called after her and she turned around. "Take care." He said with a smile. 'Oh well, I still have Asha.' He thought.

"Thanks." Max replied and entered Alec's embrace. "Come on let's go home." He said.

"Yeah I'd like that." She smiled at him and he smiled back.

~*~

They walked out side and Max felt like a thousand pounds had just been lifted off her shoulders. She took a deep breath as the sun started once again coming out after the storm.

"You know." Alec began. "I dreamed about you dumping Logan for me, and now that it finally happened I don't feel that same victory I thought I would." He confessed.

"Maybe because there is a decent human being, somewhere inside of you that actually makes you feel sorry for him." Max offered.

"Oh Max, that just made my ego boost up to a ten." He said grinning.

Max shook her head. "You and your ego."

"Did you really mean what you said in there?" he asked now seriously.

"Every word." Max replied still with her arm wrapped around him she leaned until her head rested on the side of his muscular arm. She closed her eyes briefly. 'Damn life is good!'
