A/N: I am sorry that this took me awhile to write, but I was working on other projects and a way to make this story work with the way I planned the ending.
Max and Alec walked into the restaurant with far away looks on their faces. Aw the power of love.
The restaurant was sparsely filled with early risers for breakfast. Either that or it was midmorning Max wasn't too concerned about the time. The two sat at a table in the corner.
"What do you want?" Alec asked. They used their super cat eyesight to see the menu from over the counter.
"What do you mean? Are you suggesting making the order all by your lonely self?"
Alec made a make gesture of being hurt, "I'm appalled at the idea that I'm lonely, because I never am when I'm around you."
"Cut the act, lets just get the food," Max said. Damn why did I have to fall in love with him, she thought.
Once they had their food and were eating Max and Alec had slipped into silence. Alec looked up to Max who was staring across and out the window.
Forget this, he thought. "Max?" She didn't hear him. "Maxie," he said with a kick to her shin.
"Ouch. What was that for?"
"I needed you to pay attention. Listen we need to talk about something, okay?" His eyes held a look of sincerity.
"Yeah, okay. In fact I need to tell you something too."
Later that night---
The lights were out exceptfor in the kitchen. Earlier Alec had bought a live chicken- dinner. It was cooking on the stove filling the air with its flavoring aroma.
Max and Alec where sitting at the counter. The "talk" was just beginning.
"Okay. So you want to go first?" Max asked.
"Nah that's okay," Alec said trying to hid the fact that he was nervous.
Taking a deep breath Max began, "Today, at the restaurant I say a Red." There she laid it out bluntly.
This statement took Alec by surprise. It was far from what he wanted to tell Max. He was about to spill his guts when the Red issue came up. Those Reds have to get better timing, he thought.
"Uh, Max, what are we going to do? I mean we can't exactly fight them there stronger."
"Yeah, I know. I was thinking that maybe three of us against one of them, though, might have a chance." A confused look crossed Alec's face so Max explained, "Pam, my clone."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot her."
Both transgenitics were quite for a while, deep in their thoughts.
I just have to tell her, he thought. Just tell her that I love her and hope she doesn't kill me then we'll work on the Red issue.
Just as Alec was about to spell his love the main door slammed through with Pam on it. It slammed onto the coffee table in the living room breaking it into thousands of tiny fragments.
mikka: Thanks and cliffhangers are so easy to use that it kinda becomes a habit to have them.

guest type person: thanks and Pam has a reason for being here. All in due time will it be revealed though.
