Reliving Manticore

Disclaimer-I don't own anything that can be found on Dark Angel. The only things I own are some of the transgenics and the parts of the storyline that I make up. So don't sue!

Summary-Max was captured at the end of season 1 but in my story she wasn't shot in the heart and Zack didn't shoot himself, but he was captured as well. And Max never escaped or burned Manticore down. So basically this story is about Max being back at Manticore with missions, transgenics and all. M/L at first but it will become M/A.

Chapter Two-Eyes Only Grieves

Eyes Only sat in his usual spot, in front of his computer equipment. His usual spiky hair was without gel. He had dark circles under his eyes. He was staring intently at a scene on his computer. He froze the picture and reached out to touch the screen. Even though no tears fell, you could tell they wanted to. Eyes Only was grieving. It was obvious to anyone who knows him. Especially the young blonde woman that was watching him now.

He hadn't acknowledged her yet so she figured he was just absorbed in feeling up his computer. "Hey Logan," she said as she set the box she was carrying, down. Logan whirled around.

"Oh, hey Asha," he said as he rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing here?" Asha just looked at him. Then he remembered. "Oh right, getting the ration cards. Sorry, I forgot."

"Right. Care to share?" Asha asked as she sat down on the couch, expecting an answer. Logan sighed. Oh well, he thought. Might as well explain this to her, in case I need her help.

"You know that Eyes Only hack that was on yesterday? About the secret Government facility, Manticore?" he asked. Asha nodded.

"Yeah. He said that 12 kids escaped back in 09," she paused. "You knew one of them didn't you?" Logan stiffened.

"Her name was Max," he sighed. "I watched her die. Right in my arms." His voice cracked slightly.

"They killed her didn't they?" Asha asked, her voice full of sympathy for what the man had lost. Logan nodded.

"The thing is, I can't really believe that she's gone. I don't. I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help feeling that maybe...she's still out there. At Manticore."

"And that's why Eyes Only is giving 'em hell. As a favor to you," Asha concluded. Logan didn't say anything. "If you need any help, I'll be glad to give it to you. I just want you to be happy." No matter who it may be with, she added silently.

"Thanks. That means a lot. You sure S1W would go along with it if you asked?" Logan wondered. Asha nodded yes. Logan smiled. "Well alright. Can't be grieving all the time. Let's go expose corrupt cops." Asha agreed and they left Logan's penthouse with Asha pushing Logan in his wheelchair.

Don't worry Max, Logan thought. I'll get you out soon.

A/N-Short, I know. But I had to fit this in somewhere. Hope you liked it. Review please!;o)

lakergirl08-Thanks for the review. And don't worry, she doesn't leave him. I'll explain it more in the next chapters.

Angel Of Darkness231-Thanks for the review. I'll try to keep it fair in the fights. Max is supposed to be a great fighter though...Maybe I'll do the whole 'holding back' thing...

greentrees-I'll try to fix that, thanks for the advice.

XxInsanityxX-Thanks, I plan to. ;o)
