Chapter 2: Plans, Plans, Plans
Logans crib:
(the next morning)
Logan woke up the next morning alone in his bed. He didn't wake when Max got up and left a couple of hours ago. He was up late watching Max sleep and wasn't able to tear his eyes away from the sleeping beauty cuddled up next to him. He thought about what she had said earlier. That it's not all about sex. Even though he knew that she wasn't talking about them he still felt a little guilty. Since the virus was gone and they finally admitted how they really felt for one another they haven't had one romantic dinner. Not one game of chess or just one evening drinking a glass of wine and talk all night.
As soon as she walked in the door they practically pounced at each other, ripped off cloth and tumbled into bed or what ever was the closest thing to support them. After one or two rounds of wild, passionate and hard lovemaking they would go one or two more rounds of gentle and soft and caring but mostly those ended up just as urgent, hard and fast as the previous ones. There wasn't one night when she was over at his place that they didn't have sex. In fact this was the first time she came over after work when they just cuddled up and slept.
And not because he didn't want to. He wanted to and he could tell that she noticed too that he was just holding it back. What was wrong with him? He wasn't 17 anymore and they weren't leading a normal and carefree life. Logan sat up in bed and was intent to ask Max on a date this evening. Music, candle light, wine and dinner. They weren't just about sex. And he had to prove that to Max. He got up and got dressed. //That's a plan. But that's tonight. Let's worry about the day. I need to find Alec and see how close they are to get some action.// He thought while exiting his room and walk to the Headquarters to look for Alec.

Outside the Headquarters:
"Hey. Watch out", Logan yelled as he bumped into Alec who rushed out of the Headquarters.
"Oh, sorry man. Didn't see you. Talk to you later. Gotta go." Alec quickly said and rushed away. But Logan followed him asking him to wait.
"Wait. Where are you going?" Logan asked once he caught up with Alec.
"Nowhere. I just need to take care of some things", Alec said not wanting to discuss his plans with Logan.
"What kind of things?" Logan asked with a grin. Alec saw him grin and stopped rushing. He turned to Logan and exhaled loudly: "She told you, didn't she?" He asked.
"Who told me what?" Logan teased now grinning even bigger at Alec's discomfort.
"Look. Don't even start. And wipe that grin off your face. We both know why you run around for the last couple of weeks grinning like an idiot. Out of all people here you should understand what we need", Alec said slightly annoyed.
"Why me?" Logan asked.
"Jesus. For one because you're a guy and secondly you are the only guy around here getting laid. So back off. I got things to do", Alec said while starting to walk towards the abandoned building across the barracks. Logan followed him. Once there Alec stopped and turned around to face Logan. "What? Why are you following me? This is none of your business so get lost." Alec hissed at Logan.
"Well it is my business if you do something stupid and put me and everybody else in Terminal City in danger. Besides. I might be able to help." Logan stated not moving an inch. Alec gave up. He shrugged his shoulders and stepped inside where the other guys waited for him. Logan entered the building after Alec and closed the door. When the other guys saw Logan they let out angry groans and rolled their eyes.
"What the hell. Why did you bring the bosses lapdog with you?" Jesse asked confused.
"Hey. I'm not Max lapdog. I'm just here to help and make sure everything goes well", Logan said defensively.
"Yeah right. And Max has absolutely nothing to do with that", Mole remarked sarcastically.
"Right", Logan answered just as sarcastically and grabbed a chair and joined the circle the guys sat in. //How ridiculous. What is this the sexual anonymous?// He sat down and grinned at his own mental joke.
"What's so funny Cale? Why don't you share your thoughts with us?" Jesse asked clearly annoyed at Logans presence and the grin on his face.
"Nothing. Just ignore me and go ahead," Logan replied trying hard not to laugh at the picture of 10 guys sitting around making plans about how to get some horizontal action.
The guys just glared at him and did their best to ignore Logan. They sat around and talked for half an hour about whether they leave Terminal City or invite some "girls" over. Logan just sat there and listened – trying hard to hide his amusement. After they decided that it's better to leave Terminal City instead of bringing someone in they discussed how they would get out and in Terminal City undetected. The nomlies amongst them complained that they could not just walk around Seattle trying to pick up some girl - so the normal looking transgenics promised to bring someone in for them. That settled they searched the sewer system for possible routes to get out. After another hour they finally chose a route and everybody smiled and nodded in agreement. That was the plan. As they all got up satisfied with their plan Logan finally spoke up for the first time.
"Aren't you forgetting something here?" He asked loudly so everybody could hear him. The room grew silent and before anybody could make a move or say a word Logan continued. "You can't just walk out of the sewers and hit a bar. Not all 7 of you at the same time. And even if you go in groups of two or everybody alone – it's dangerous. An informant of mine told me that there are constant check ups in bars and public places. They check ID's and the back of the neck. How you gonna handle that? And what if they have girls waiting just for you to snap your neck at a point when you're not thinking coherently. And what.....", Logan wanted to continue but was interrupted by Alec.
"Fine. So this is not the best plan. But what are we supposed to do? This is as good as it gets. Or do you have a better plan?" he challenged Logan.
"I don't know. Maybe" Logan mused.
"Then spill it or shut the fuck up", Jesse spat in Logans direction.
"I need to think about it. I tell you when I got something. Just do not go with this plan." Logan replied not sure if he did the right thing by helping them. But he knew that the plan they had would fail and he could not let them run into a trap. He said he'd tell Alec as soon as he thought of something better and left the building walking back to his place. //Great. Now I'm the pimp. Better not let Max know what I'm doing. Nothing better to ruin a romantic evening then to tell your girlfriend you've become a pimp.// he thought and entered his place and turned his computer on to see what he could do.

At the infirmary:
"What do you mean 5 pregnancies? How did that happen?", Max asked in disbelief. There she thought she and Logan were the only people who had sex in Terminal City and the others just craving for it. Now 2 X4's and 3 nomlies were pregnant.
"Well Max. The natural way of course", Sam Carr answered. He agreed to come into Terminal City and check on the sick transgenics 3 times a week. The police and the military force outside agreed to give him free access to Terminal City as the government wanted to make sure the trapped freaks did not have any contagious diseases that they could spread on the outside.
"God. What is it lately?" Max sighed.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked confused.
"Nothing. So what do we do now?", Max asked. No need to fill Sam in on the sexual needs of some of the Terminal City inhabitants.
"I don't know. I'm no expert when it comes to transgenical reproduction. But I'm convinced that it's not the best thing to have babies her in Terminal City. The contamination here is to strong and if the babies are no transgenics then you'll have a problem here", Sam honestly replied. He did not know what would or could happen but he knew it wasn't good.
"Tell me about it. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens", Max answered tiredly. As if everything wasn't bad enough the way it was. Now she had to worry about having babies at Terminal City. She felt weak and defeated.
"Just make sure there won't be more pregnancies around here until we figure out how to deal with that. I bring a load of condoms and stuff in. Make sure they use them. I'll be back tomorrow." With that he turned around and packed his supplies and left, leaving Max with her thoughts.

Logans place:
Logan was sitting at his laptop trying to figure out how to get those guys out of Terminal City and save back inside without them being detected. There were just 7 guys but he guessed that once the word was out there would be plenty more. Jesus. As if they had no other problems he thought when he heard the door open and saw Max step in.
"Here you are. I've been looking all over the damn place for you", Max said sitting down on his lap and hugging him tight.
"What's wrong baby? You seem exhausted", he softly said hugging her back and placing little kisses on her neck. Max lifted her head to look him in the eyes and sighed deeply before starting to speak.
"We have 5 cases of pregnancy. No idea if the babies are going to be normal or not. Sam comes back tomorrow to bring a truckload of condoms in tomorrow. And I of course have to make sure that they use them. God Logan. What's going on her. Since when did Terminal City turn into an amusement park. I don't get it and I'm so sick of this." She explained sounding defeated and burying her head back into Logans shoulder. He gently caressed her back. He was surprised and he didn't know what to say. He could tell that Max had no idea what to do so he wasn't going to ask her.
"We'll find a way to deal with this. We just need to make sure they use the condoms." He just said.
"And how do we make sure they use them. Put one under each pillow with instructions. We're not in a fucking hotel. God. I don't know." She said getting up and pacing around his little crib.
"Well. I guess as Alec and his friends are so eager when it comes to sex we just have them distribute the condoms around Terminal City and have little sex-talks with them." Logan thought out loud.
"And why would Alec and the rest of his gang do that?" Max stated.
"Well", Logan started, shifting uncomfortable in his chair, "I guess they owe me a favor or two."
"And why is that if I may ask", Max asked not sure if she wanted to know the answer to that question because she already had a slight idea what it would be.
"I went to their little conference today and it turned out that their plan sucked and that they would definitely get killed, captured or even worse. So I told them not to do anything and that I would think of something save – for them and us." He finished waiting for an answer and expected something unpleasant.
"Right. How could I forget. You're just a guy yourself", she answered defeated. Why did she expect any help after all. Everything turned sideward. Why not this as well. She's alone on the front again. Maybe always has been. She turned to walk out of the door when Logan stopped her and turned her around so he could look into her eyes.
"Max. It's not like that. You know I'm not like that. But they are really going to do it. And as we cannot stop them I figured we should at least make sure they don't get hurt on get other people hurt in the process. You know I care about you. You know I love you. It's not about sex – or at least not just about sex. I just thought about it this morning. We really were very physical since the virus is gone. But there is more to us. Way more", he pleaded. He didn't want her to feel alone and hurt.
She leaned into his embrace and closed her eyes. "I know Logan. I'm sorry. I just don't know why all we talk about right now is sex. Like we had no other worries. I know we're more than just about sex. I'm sorry and I love you too", she softly said against his chest. He hugged her tight and was relieved that she wasn't mad at him.
After 2 minutes just hugging Max broke the embrace. "Great we talked about it. But what is your plan for them?" She asked staring in his eyes.
"Well I haven't figured that out yet. But I'll think about it. And when Sam arrives tomorrow I will have figured something out and Alec and Co. can go on their safe-sex mission in Terminal City." She just smiled at him gave him a quick kiss on his lips and opened the door. "I guess I will let you work on that now", she stepped outside and closed the door. Logan took a deep breath. That worked better than he imagined, he thought when he heard Max outside of the door: "Pimp!" He laughed and sat back down staring at his computer screen not sure what he was looking for.
