AN: Thank you sassycanuck, serenia-sd, and Black Rose9 for your reviews. Well here's Chapter Two, hope you like it.

Mackenzie turned a corner, lost in thought, and collided with something, or someone. "Ow." She mumbled, as her ass hit the ground.

"I'm so sorry." a male voice apologized from in front of her. He extended his hand, and she took it getting up.

"No. I'm sorry. I was thinking about something, and not paying attention to where I was going." Mackenzie quickly said.

"It was my fault, just as much as it was yours. Names Dalton."

"Mackenzie."

"I haven't seen you around here before. You new?"

"Yea got in last night."

"Cool. So where you staying?"

"One of the apartment buildings."

"Can you be anymore specific?"

"No." Mackenzie laughed. "I better get going. Gotta find some stuff."

"Need any help?"

"Nah I think I'm fine."

"Ok. Talk to you later." Dalton said walking off.

Mackenzie started walking again, this time paying more attention to where she was going, rather then the thoughts flowing through her head. She glanced around and saw the person she was hoping she would run into. "Max!" She yelled.

The brunette turned to face Mackenzie. "Hi."

"Where's Benjamin?"

"He's at home with his dad."

"Cool. Um... I was wondering if you knew where I could find some clothes. I kinda forgot the bag I had somewhere, I'm not sure where though. So all I've got is the clothes on my back."

"Well I'm sure I've got something I could give you. And if you ask around, you'll probably find someone who could give you something they don't wear or want any more."

"Thank you. You're a life saver."

"When I go home I'll grab some stuff. Then I'll find you and give it to you."

"Kay thanks." Mackenzie smiled gratefully, and then walked away, to leave Max to whatever she was doing. She walked the streets of Terminal City once again. Not sure of what to do with her time.

Slowly she made her way back to the apartment building she was now staying in. She climbed the stairs and walked to the apartment. Opening the door she sighed, looking around once again. The apartment was a dump, and it kinda smelled. Mackenzie closed the door behind her and walked over to the sad excuse for a couch. She lied down on the couch, her arms supporting her head, and once again she started to think about her mission. It was going to be one tough one, she knew that much.

Mackenzie closed her eyes, only now realizing how tired she truly was. Once again the world of sleep claimed her. The sound of the door to the apartment opening woke her up. Mackenzie jumped off the couch and looked at the figure that had just entered her apartment. "Alec what the hell are you doing here? And how did you know I was here?"

"I asked around, someone told me you were in this apartment. I'm here 'cause Max asked me to drop this stuff off here for you."Alec replied putting a bag down beside the door.

"Oh. Well thanks. You can leave now."

"Why are you so anxious to get rid of me?"

"Why are you so eager to stay?"

Alec and Mackenzie looked at each other. Alec sighed. "See you around." he said, leaving the apartment. Mackenzie picked up the bag and walked back to the couch, sitting down. She began to look through the bag, there were a couple pairs of pants, and a couple shirts. Mackenzie knew she was going to have to some how acquire money, so that she could buy other things she needed. She also knew her stay in Terminal City was going to be one long stay.

A week later

"Why do you keep avoiding me?" Mackenzie heard someone ask from behind her.

She turned and smiled at Alec, "I don't know. Am I avoiding you?"

"It appears to be that you are. Every time I walk into a room your in, you make a quick escape out of the room. Why?"

"I don't know what your talking about, Alec. You just enter the room whenever I'm about to leave."

"Everybody else has noticed your attempts at avoiding me."

"Why do you care what I do? I'm just an X6. I don't see you going crazy about other X6's leaving a room when you enter it."

"So you admit your avoiding me."

"I didn't say that. I was just trying to make the point that your treating me differently than other X6's. Why do you do that?"

"I don't."

"Sure you do."

Mackenzie looked at Alec questionably. "Ok, maybe I do. It's just you look so familiar."

"I've been told that a lot. Maybe you know me from Psy Ops or the infirmary."

"Maybe. But you haven't answered my question. Why do you keep trying to avoid me?"

"I don't. Now if you don't mind. I got to get to Max's place. I promised her and Logan I'd watch Benjamin tonight, so they could go out."

"You're doing it again."

"I am not. Having something to do is not avoiding someone." Mackenzie mumbled, turning back in the direction she had been headed. She ignored Alec, and kept walking, heading out of Terminal City, to one of the buildings on the outside of the fence. It was a large apartment building that had recently been renovated, and looked similar to Fogle Towers. Mackenzie took the elevator to the top floor, and knocked on the door, when she got to the apartment. "Hey Logan." She smiled, when he answered the door, and let her in.

"Hi. Thanks for doing this for us. Benjamin has seemed to take a liking to you."

"I'm a likable person." Mackenzie laughed. She looked around "Now why can't TC have building's like this."

"Because the government doesn't want to pay to get those buildings fixed up. They'd rather have transgenics do the renovations themselves."

"Well they're losers."

"Glad to see you're here." Max said walking out of Benjamin's room. "He just fell asleep, but he might wake up in a few hours."

"That's not a problem. You two have a fun night, and don't stay out to long."

Mackenzie watched Max and Logan leave and then walked over to Benjamin's room. She looked in and smiled. "Benji," she whispered, knowing that she was pretty much talking to herself. "I want to tell my dad everything, I want to be able to sit in the same room with him, and not have to lie. Everyone has a weakness, and he's mine. It's been ten years, since I saw him, since I got to hear his voice, since I got to hear him laugh.

"This mission of mine is killing me, Benji. I was six years old when he was killed, and I still remember everything about him. Why did I have to be sent to do this? I was fine sitting at home looking through photo albums, pretending that one day he would walk through the door and be home. I was fine, sitting around and joking with you, well the future you. Why did my life have to get so complicated." Mackenzie sighed, and turned away from Benjamin's room. She froze in her tracks, and looked at the door. "How long have you been standing there?" Mackenzie questioned, the figure that stood before her.

AN: OK.. I'm leaving it there. Kind of a cliff hanger. Please give me any ideas you have for a title, I still can't think of anything. Oh and tell me what you would like to see happen, and I can try to incorporate it into the fic. I pretty much have everything planned out, but I'm always open for more ideas.
