Disclaimer: I don't own anything relating to Dark Angel, that's those poor fools from Fox who found it necessary to cancel it in the first place.
A/N: This story is just flowing out of me right now, probably do to the fact that DA S1 has taken it's place as my current video obsession. I can't stand S2, so you'll have to forgive me if I tend to gloss over many of the characters from that season. Also, please forgive me if any scenes I write with Original Cindy are kinda short. I can't write dialogue for her, and I'm not gonna ruin a great character by writing crappy dialogue. Any suggests are welcome, and please review. Oh, and thank yous to idlehands452 and M/L Only for the reviews and encouragement.
Alec knocked loudly on the door of Logan's apartment, Max and Logan's apartment. 'That's gonna take some getting used to,' he thought. Normally he would have just picked the lock and walked in, or just walked in if the door happened to be open, but since Max and Logan had just recently discovered that the virus was gone, he wasn't going to take any chances that he might see something that would scar him for life. The last thing he needed was to walk in on Max and Logan "gettin busy", to put it as Joshua would. Nope, that defintely wouldn't do.
He knocked again. 'Where the hell are they, pull me away from a perfectly lovely blonde, just to leave me staring at a door. It's not enough that they talked to Lydecker without me, now they're just jerking me around.'
It was then that Logan opened the door. "Sorry about that, Max has been kind of upset since we saw Lydecker. She's on the sofa." Logan glared at Alec just a bit. "So, be nice okay?"
Alec smirked, "Am I ever anything but?"
Alec walked into the living room area of the apartment and saw Max curled up on the sofa. "You ok Maxie? Heard you had a talk with Deck, find out anything good."
"My mom's name is Sarah Frantz. She's at a mental hospital just outside Gillette, and has been since I was born. Lydecker has known the whole time." Another tear escaped Max's eye. "I've spent my whole life wondering about her, and the whole time, she's been so close."
Max wiped the tears away and stood up. She paced across the room and back, coming to a halt in front of Alec. "Logan and I are heading out in the morning. We have no clue how long we'll be gone, we're gonna try to have her moved to a hosptial here in Seattle. You're in charge until we get back, no matter how long it takes. Got it?"
"Yeah, sure. Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean.."
Max cut him off, "Yes, it's a perfectly fine idea. Manticore is gone, White is dead, the Conclave is hiding in the hills. Now is the perfect time to do this. If I wait, something is liable to go wrong and I'll never get to see her. Hell, Lydecker even took the time to have me listed in her file as her daughter under one of my aliases. It's perfect."
"Ok Max, I'm in charge. Not that it matters much. Since the war ended, everyone pretty much does what they want, but it'll be good practice for when I win the election and take my council seat." Alec winked at Max, making her smile.
"Good, you're dismissed then. Tell Joshua where I went, and tell him not to worry. Logan will take good care of me while we're gone." Max smiled her first real smile since she had gotten back from her visit with Lydecker. She knew Alec could hold down the fort here, no matter how long she had to be gone.
"Sure thing. Bye Maxie, don't stay gone to long." Alec walked away, stopping for a second to whisper something to Logan before walking out the door.
Even with her super human hearing Max couldn't understand what Alec whispered to Logan. She looked at Logan expectantly as he shut the door behind Alec, locking it.
"He said I was a lucky man and took take care of you, since you're obviously curious. He's right you know. I am lucky. Still kind of pisses me off though, that we were cured for six months, but didn't know it. You know what that means right?" Logan had that smile on his face that always made Max's heart jump into her throat.
"I think I can come up with something," she said as she pulled him into the bedroom.
Five hours later they emerged from the bedroom, both glowing, carrying their bags for their trip. They'd finally gotten packed and now there was nothing left to do but wait until morning to leave.
Logan was still in awe at the things Max could do to him with her body. He'd wondered many times over the past two years if he'd even be able to perform, but apparently he did well enough for Max. Logan just wished he could feel some of the things he'd watched her do. She didn't seem to mind though. Just thinking about earlier made him smile and his skin flush. 'Damn, two days with her and I'm acting like a teenager again.' Logan heard Max shuffling around in the kitchen.
"Hungry Max? Want me to whip something up?"
"Yes please. I was going to fix a sandwich, but we're out of bread. No need to run to the market if we're leaving town tomorrow. Looks like we have some steaks in here, better eat them so they don't go bad. No reason to waste a perfectly good piece of meat." Max giggled when she said that last sentence. 'Damn, I'm acting like a teenager.'
"Do we have veggies for a salad? Steak and salad sounds good to me."
"Yeah, I see lettuce, a tomatoe, and some mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms with the steak. I think that'll work."
Logan headed into the kitchen and went to work. Forty five minutes later they were sitting at the table, devouring their steaks.
"This is great Logan," Max said with a mouth full of steak. "You never seem to fail when it comes to cooking."
"A man has to be talented with something, lucky for you, I can cook. Otherwise, we'd probably starve, since you can barely boil water."
"I keep hoping maybe some of your talent will rub off on me. Guess something just don't rub off."
"No, but luckily some things do," Logan said with a grin. "You gonna call Original Cindy before we go? Don't want her worrying about you, now do you?"
"Ya know Logan, I totally forgot about her, I should have called her yesterday when we got home and let her know all was well, I'm suprised she hasn't been ringing my cell to death by now. I'll be back in a minute and wash up the dishes, I should go call her."
Max got up and went into the bedroom. She came back twenty minutes later, laughing to herself.
"Well, I know why Cindy didn't call me. She figured since this was the first time we could be alone together without you dying that it was in her best interest to leave us alone till I called her. She's cool with us being gone for a while, but she wants me to check in and let her know how it's going."
Logan laughed, "Seems Cindy and everyone else had the same idea. Haven't you noticed that neither of our phones have rung in the past two days? I hadn't until you mentioned not talked to Cindy since we got back. Guess everyone figured if we were here alone trying to call was a moot point."
"They're good friends, and I'm betting they've figured out we aren't being stupid anymore. Cindy's exact words were, 'it's about damned time boo.' I told her she was right."
Logan smiled and walked over to Max, who was now washing up their dinner dishes. He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. "She's right you know." Logan released her and picked up a towel to start drying the dishes she'd just washed. When they were finished he took her hand. "Let's go to bed, we've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
