The moment they returned to TC, they all had gone on their different ways. Biggs and CeCe took it upon themselves to find a safe home for Zero and her little ones. The four had found someplace to live and signed up to patrol TC. Alec and Max went to bed, being extremely tired and needing the chance to just talk to each other.
Max woke up to the feeling of a hand running across her stomach and she smiled. "Morning, Max," Alec whispered into her ear, as he pulled her back into his chest. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah, I had sweet dreams," she answered, as snuggled more into his chest. "I had dreams that we were free."
Alec chuckled softly, as his kissed her neck, ran his hand up to hers, and intertwined their fingers. "Max, we are free for now." He kissed her from her neck to her ear. "White is gone, and so is the threat he was giving us for a while." Max let out a soft moan as he kissed her ear and her smile got bigger. "So we can finally relax and sleep in."
"I have something I need to do." Max then got out of bed and began to get ready.
Alec watched as Max got dressed in a pair of black pants, black shoes, a black tank top, and her black jacket. "I have two questions for you. Where are you going?" he asked, as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "And can I come?"
"I'm going to tell Logan good bye," she said, as she turned into his arms and frowned when she saw that his smile was gone only to be replaced by a face full of anger. "You can come if you want to. I just need to say good bye once and for all. So you can come."
"Of course I'm coming with you." He pulled her close and devoured her mouth. "I'm not letting you any where near that bastard alone ever again. He's lucky that I didn't kill him then, or that I still won't."
"Alec, please." She placed a finger on his lips to silence him. "I just need to do this." He drew her finger into his mouth and gently sucked on it causing him to smile. "We can play later. I promise."
"That's good to know." His hands roamed along her side and stopped at her waist. "We should go, so that we can get back."
Logan opened the door with a shotgun pointed at them, causing Max to take a step back into Alec. "What the hell do you want?" he asked them, as he cocked the gun. "You're not wanted here, 452, and neither are you, 494."
Max was shocked to hear Logan referring to them by their designations rather than their names. "I've come to say good bye, Logan Cale," Max said, as she took a step towards him with ears in her eyes. "I hate to say this, but we have to say good bye. You're not to see OC or Sketchy ever again. You will not be allowed into TC either. Good bye." She then turned and was gone.
Alec shot a glance over at Logan and he frowned. "I'll see you, Logan," he said, as he started for the stairs.
"What about Max?" Logan asked, as he put down the gun.
"What about her?" Alec kept his eyes on the gun, as Logan looked over at Max.
"Do you think it's over between us?"
'Yeah, I do." He then turned and followed Max. "Bye, Logan."
When Alec got to the street, he saw Max's bike halfway down the street. He jumped onto his bike and followed her, knowing where she was going.
It had began to rain and Alec found a very wet Max standing on the top of the Space Needle looking out the city. "Ah, home," he said, as he came up beside her. "Nothing like it."
"When we were back at Manticore, we would always go to a high place to get away. This is just something I have that ties me to my past."
"Max, we're going to be able to locate the others. They're just in hiding, nothing more than that."
"I know." She then wiped away a few tears with the back of her hand. "I'm glad that you're here, Alec. It's good to have someone there to watch your back."
"I'll always be here to watch your back, Max." They then watched as the city came alive, as people went on with their lives. "Ah, home."
"Yeah, it's home."
Both transgenics knew that they would hear from White and his people again, but not for a couple of weeks. For those weeks, they would live their lives as normal as they could possible do.
