A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a long while. Been kinda busy writing a
bunch of new ideas and reading all of yours. Thanks to all my faithful
reviewers who don't want to hurt me!

Alec quickly blurred out of the room, only to run into Joshua.
"Hey, Josh, what's up?"
"Little Fella in a jam. Medium Fella and Terminal City going to help. That's the plan."
"What do you mean, Josh?"
"Crazy marks mean something. Sandeman needs to be found. Sandeman still lost. And. . . We need to find protector. Little Fella body say about protector. HQ need Alec. Go."
"Protector? What? Fine. I don't think Maxie will like this protector business, but fine, I will go." Alec slowly wandered in the general direction of HQ, trying not to think of that one word and who had said it. "Us? US? Us..? It's just US, baby. It. . ." Alec was caught, making faces and trying out the word to hopefully figure out what Max had meant, by a blonde X6. He shrank away as he heard her snicker and decided this would be a good time to go to headquarters.
***********************************************************
Joshua knocked on Max's door. "Max? Is Joshua."
"Hey Big Fella. Come in, I'll be out in a second." She called as she rushed around trying to find more decent clothes. She settled on black jeans and a red turtleneck and coolly walked out to meet her visitor.
"What's up?" she looked at the worried dog man on her couch with concern.
"Little Fella need help. Must mind Maxie protector."
"No, Josh. I can take care of myself; I don't need someone to protect me. And did you just call me Maxie?"
"Yes. Alec does, so Josh does. And Little Fella NEED protector, arm says." Max gasped. They had figured out some of her runes?
"Come on, Josh. We got to get to HQ."
***********************************************************
Alec looked puzzled when he walked into headquarters. *Why is every single X5 male in headquarters??? * "MOLE?! What on earth is going on?"
The reptilian man turned around coolly and said one word, "Max."
"Why does Max want every X5 male in HQ?"
"She doesn't, but her body does."
"SHE'S IN HEAT???"
"No, dumbass." and mumbled, "if she was, you certainly wouldn't be here now." A glare from Alec made him clear his throat and start again. "The runes. They say her protector is one of her kind; a male and we need to find out whom. We got Josh to go get the both of you. You need to help us judge who is the protector. After all, you know her just as well as the rest of us."
"What about Cindy? She knows Max better than I do." At that, OC walked in.
"Damn straight. My boo needs at least one person with good taste up in here." Everyone looked at OC. "What, can't a girl get some respect?"
***********************************************************
*Whoa. Why are so many X5 males in HQ? And do I hear . . .? * "CINDY!!!!" Max gave her best boo a hug. "Boo, what are you doing here? And what is with all these guys?"
"I'm here to help your body pick one out."
"Wait, what was that? Am I in heat or something???"
"See! I am NOT the only one to think that!" Alec finally spoke up. "Sorry," he mumbled after getting a weird look from Max and OC.
"Max runes want protector. TC find protector."
"Me, Dog man, Mole and Ya boy here are gonna help ya pick one out. So, lets get this thing started. Slimy, do the honors."
Mole stood up on one of the desks in HQ and tried to gain the attention of the room. "Hey! HEY! We are going to run a series of trials in order to find Max's selected protector. You will get a number and we will begin testing and questioning tomorrow. Got it? Good."
Everyone started to file out of HQ. When only the 'judges' and Max were left, the expected tantrum began.
"Who said this would be okay with me? WHO? Why wasn't I informed about the whole thing? What made you possibly believe that I would agree to anything like this? Why didn't I know you had decoded some of these things?" Everyone rolled their eyes. Only one person was brave enough to approach the angry X.
"Look, Max, we're trying to help you here. I suggest that you shut up and help us figure out your little symbols." To everyone's surprise, she listened to Alec.
"Sorry. Well, while I'm here, what do we know about these?" Max looked around at the astounded faces. "What?"
"Oh! Umm . . .that's all we know so far. Yeah." Mole said, making a quick recovery.
"Let me know about any updates. Right now, I'm gonna kick it with my boo." Both girls walked off farther into the toxic city to catch up on lost gossip and stories of OC's latest lickity boo.
