Title: Feelings All Wrong

Disclaimer: I don't own them although I would like to they belong to fox blah, blah woof, woof.

Summary: Max Realizes Something And Needs To Tell Someone But Will That Someone Want To Believe It? MA. (Sorry for the Logan bashing people but this is a MA…sorry again.)

Time: It's after freak nation but every one has accepted them and they are allowed to walk around, the virus is still there. So I guess it's an AU.

Chapter 4 – Will this help?

Max wondered into TC and into the control room where Joshua, Luke and mole we're arguing about when and where they were going to move out of TC, with no luck. Max stood listening to them for about two minutes before Joshua caught a glimpse of her,

"Hey little fella, you okay?" he asked seeing her looking like she'd just saw a ghost.

"Yeah josh has got a point Max, you okay?" Mole agreed.

"Yep, you look like you just saw a ghost." Luke joined in at the last minute, her skin which was usually dark, was now very, very pale she looked as if she'd been ill for a long time and only just managed the strength to get out of her bed. All three of them were worried for her and the news that was coming.

"Um…guys listen…" she trailed off trying to control all her emotions so she wouldn't break down 'Come on max, there gonna' help get him back!' The little voice in the back of her head reminded her. Now Joshua, Luke and mole were even more worried she could tell by the looks on their faces they were trying to urge her on. She couldn't cry in front of them she didn't want to so she took a deep breath and continued,

"So…um…Where was I…Oh yeah…Listen guys we got a big problem…White is back" She took another deep breath "And he has Alec." The looks on their faces hadn't changed it was like they didn't care almost. Joshua's expression changed the first then Luke's but for so strange reason the lizard man's face didn't change yet he was the one who spoke first.

"So you know where he's holding him? I mean has he taken him out of the country 'coz max if he has you know we can't go get him we're not even aloud passed the boarder…how did he let this happen. Pretty boy must of' got caught up in something eh?" Mole raised his eyebrow then seeing the look on Max's face he put his hands to his head his and scratched, frustration clearly visible. Joshua let out a little cry, like a lost puppy. Max stood up and was at his side in a nanosecond,

"Joshua we're gonna' get him back and when we do I'm gonna kick his ass" Max said yet sadness and uncertainty was in her voice. She hugged the big dog man and he began to cry harder. Luke was just stood in shock his leader, one of his best friends had been captured by their adversary, he couldn't believe it but he knew he had to.

"When are we gonna' tell the rest about Alec, we need as much help as possible. Don't we? We are going to tell them aren't we?" Luke asked now fully aware of the situation. He was looking at Max for an expected answer, one she just didn't have. She knew that they needed as much help as possible but she also knew she didn't want to be the one telling everyone that one of their leaders had gone missing and into the arms of their enemy.

"Yes we do need as much help as humanly possible; we need people doing searches on computers in all sector checkpoints, surveillance camera's anything that can help us track down where white might be hid…"

"Max?" Some one from behind her interrupted her speech she turned around to come face to face with Zack.

"Zack?" she looked at him a smile formed on her lips then faded when she thought about what had happened, to him, and to Alec.

"What you not happy to see you're big brother?" Zack asked playfully. This was a completely different guy he was so much cheery but she liked it. She walked over to him and drew him into a big hug he acted on instinct and his arms wrapped around her tiny form protecting her.

"Maxie, what's wrong?" he asked gently rubbing her back soothingly as little sobs racked her body this wasn't like her. He motioned for the three nomlies to leave them to talk for little while. She felt Joshua rub her back reassuringly over Zack's before he left. Zack pulled back so he could see her properly but before he could see the tears that were dripping from her eyes she wiped them away quickly, seeing that Zack pulled her to him again tighter. All sorts of thoughts were running through his head he thought maybe Logan had died or maybe she'd just found out some really bad news, hey wouldn't Logan dying be bad news, nah. He tried again hoping he'd get more out of her than crying this time,

"Maxie are you going to tell me what's wrong or do I have to ask some one else?" she pulled away looking into his eyes, finding it difficult because her eyes were shimmering with tears not yet run down her wet cheeks.

"There's this man called Ames White he's kind of like Lydecker but worse, he was sent out to kill the transgenics after I burnt down Manticore he's been after us in Seattle for awhile now. After we got the license to walk around freely from the government he seemed to disappear but he came back we've been avoiding him since h…he came back about 2-3 weeks ago but late last night I found out he'd got one of our men.

He's called Alec and he's my second in command." She broke down completely then if Zack wasn't holding her she'd be on the ground in a ball crying. Joshua, Luke and mole were watching from outside through the gap in the blinds and to be honest they had never seen any-one ever react to loosing a man like Max was. Failing missions maybe, but not likely, not ever loosing one man. They all knew why she was acting like this it was a shame she didn't know either, they didn't know that she did know. Zack took her hand and led her to a tatty coach that was in the control room, he sat down and she followed resting her head on his shoulder while he made soothing circular patterns on her back, like when they were children after a seizure.

"So…Max what's got you so hooked on finding this one guy…why can't you just let him go?" There was the Zack she knew. She smiled when she remembered how he used to act before he died and came back. She really did love the other Zack she just like this one's attitude better, being on that farm for a year or two must have done him good. 'Just tell him straight max he is you're big brother how bad can it be?' If you can't tell you're brother who can you tell?

"Because I'm in love with him" she stated very quietly if he hadn't of been transgenic he wouldn't have caught any of that statement. He felt what he thought was jealousy hit him, he wasn't completely sure. Outside she could hear lots of people saying 'I knew it!' or 'Why didn't she tell us early I mean we already knew' she chuckled and Zack just looked confused.

"Are you sure…" he saw he nod her head, "Just for that we'll get him back. I'm leading!" Zack announced, and then looked down at her with what looked like a sort of worried expression. He had really changed since the whole farm dealio.

"If that's okay with you?" he added quickly after she didn't say anything, Max chuckled again he was really trying to help make her smile again but no one could do that better than Alec. She fell asleep in the control's room on Zack that night, dreaming about 'her angel'.
