Author's note : Ok so this one is really short...I decide to put this now...i was planning on posting this later but this is a little thing for HoneyOO...as you wanted more Max story.
The timeline is different, it takes place before she gets captured by White...she just had the cure...It kinda explains you why she doesn't aknowledge Logan.

Dory Shotgun--I don't hate Logan, it's just what i call a means to an end...i didn't wanted to use regular bad guys...so i used Logan...and i'm not really a M/L fan, but that's more because i don't really like Michael Weatherly (go figure)...

ally--Thanks for you review...so much passion in it!!!!

Max's POV, one day before her capture.

Alec just got the cure for the virus. It's been 3 minutes and 25 seconds that the virus is definitely out of my system. Logan is heading here. I should be happy. Well i am. It's just that... i don't know. I'm happy that the virus is cured. Really. But i'm not happy about what that implies. Because that means that me and Logan are finally going to be together. Then why am i not happy. Why don't i have the butterflies, the goose bumps...I should have them right? When you're in love, it happens 24/7 right? Right now all i can think of is 494, Alec. My CO. My friend. He is right? Is he more than a friend?

I was relieved that Alec was alive. I guess he's right when he says that he's always alright. He came back without a scratch which is unusual.

Usually, he always get shot one way or another. He must be a bullet magnet or something like that.

I was really happy that he was alive. Not that i'll tell him. Okay so now we're pretty close friends, but i still like our banters.

I know he wasn't obliged to do this. He got out of his way to get the cure. Especially as a CO here, it made him take a detour. He said that he was paying his debt to me. That tells you how much our relationship has evolved.

He has changed. He's not the jerk i met back at Manticore when he entered my cell and told me that he was my breeding partner, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Sometimes i wonder why i was so hard on him. Of course the fact that he has Ben's face didn't help. I mean, Ben is dead, and i'm the one responsible for that, and Alec, Alec is alive and well, and full of life. I guess i felt that in a way, Alec didn't deserve his life. Because he was 100 Manticore.

But i was wrong. Alec is not Manticore. He's a transgenic, an X5. He has been used just like we were.
It took me sometime to dissociate the two things. It's not bad to be an X5, when you're not hunted of course; the bad guys were Manticore...the TAC leaders, Lydecker, Renfro, the Comittee. All the peoples who used us.
And he's nothing like Ben. Of course he's tortured, but not in the same way that Ben was. But he wasn't trying either to deny those dark parts of himself like i do. Like i used to do should i say. Logan doesn't like it. When i blur to clean my house, when he loses against me when we play chess, when i can do things that quote a lady shouldn't do unquote.

I like the time i spend with Alec. I don't have to hide any part of me. I understand him and he understands me.
It's almost scary sometimes. We don't need words.
Alec's POV.

I just gave her the cure. And now i'm observing her. She's deep in thought. Probably thinking what she and Logan will do first.

I don't know why i did this? Maybe because you love her dumbass, said a little voice in his head. Not that you'd tell her! Coward, continued the voice.

Okay, so i love her. It's not like she'll return the feeling! She loves Logan. Look at her now, she's smiling! I have never seen that smile of her before.

You don't know that, said the same voice. Maybe she likes you.

Yeah, she do care, in her way. We're friends now. And i'm her CO. Everything is better between us since she got me out of jail and talked about Ben. We still have a little banter, but i think she likes it when we fight.

Anyway, all my feelings don't have any importance anymore. Because in a few minutes, she will be Logan's girl. Thanks to me! I'm really stupid!
Max's POV.

I know i'm smiling broadly right now. And i'm smiling because of him. All the memories that i have with him this last year. He's been great to me. He's always been there, watching my back.
I know i can be a piece of work sometimes. Ok, so yeah, i'm a bitch. But he put up with everything i did to him, and told him.

I'm pathetic, i just got the cure that we'll allow me to touch the 'love of my life'. Supposedly. But all i can think about is him.

In fact it's been months that the only thing that keeps me going is the thought of him. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if OC wasn't there during my last cycle. I wanted him so badly. I had a really vivid dream about him during that period, and to be honest with you, i still have that dream.

If i was honest with myself i'd tell Logan that i don't love him anymore...and i'd tell Alec what i feel about him.
But right now, i have to focus, we have a heist in a few minutes, and when i'll be back, i'll talk to them both. Maybe i'll have the courage to do that or not.

Not quite going to happen huh? I'm too coward for that.
Liked it? Hate it? Loved it? Suggestions? review...I love it...
