Fever: Party Crashed…

Alec's point of view.

From the second we left Crash I couldn't help but want to kiss her. I mean…how the heck was I supposed to be able to keep my hands off of her. She's stunning, and yes I know Manticore made us that way but Max is just…. Max.

No one could replace her. In every aspect she's beautiful, even when she gets pissed at me, or when she's upset about somethin'…. usually Logan, she still pulls off the effect of being powerful. So full of charisma and strength.

Ack…I'm goin' all Romeo…but it's true.

"Alec…" He rested his chin on her shoulder and trained his eyes on the clear road ahead of them.

"Hmm?" the feel of her shifting uncomfortably in his arms grabbed his attention. Shit…. she's not pissed at me is she…hold up. I haven't done anything wrong…ah, might as well ask. "What?" Her breath was ragged and heavy.

"Don't do that when I'm driving. Seriously. Unless you want to crash." The hell, I'm just holding her? He raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to say something when she cut him off. "And you know why…so…wait until we get somewhere less public." The smile on his face brightened and a laugh escaped his lips. Heh…I guess I did come on lil' strong…wouldn't wanna crash, that'd be bad. And did she just quote me? Huh…I'll be a good soldier…I have to have this woman as my own…I'll probably never get another chance.

"Yes ma'am!" He mocked and grinned triumphantly as they sped down the bare streets of Seattle. God she's…gonna kill us at this speed whoa! "Uh Max…. a little fast don't ya think?" The transgenic laughed nervously.

"You're a bad passenger Alec, where's the man in you gone?" She laughed. Nice blow to the ego there Golden Boy…hell she's got a point, it's just a little speed.

"You want me that bad you're willing to kill us before we even get anywhere?" Alec teased. Harsh but…so cute when she gets all…moody with me…heh.

"You have no idea." Her words called. Wow…okay…didn't expect that, but it sounds promising…

Max's point of view

You have no idea? You have no idea! I can't believe I just said that out loud. To him. Oh hell…now I look desperate…well I am, but not just for the sex…I want him. Alec. The person. God if he would only just let his hands slip a little lower…OH! No…damn, wait till we get to his place, now I'm just plain horny…he's making this happen…stupid good lookin' man.

Ten minutes later…

"Max…" Alec spoke clearly over the engine of the motorcycle. His breath tickling the skin behind her ear as she gently applied pressure to the brakes, clenching her jaw tightly with a smirk.

"Yeah?" As she pulled the bike up to the curb, Max turned off the ignition and propped the motor up with the kick of her foot. He's quiet all of a sudden. "Alec what's up?" Lifting herself from her baby, she stepped onto the sidewalk and turned to face him. His jaw tight, posture rigid and gaze firmly fixed in an unreadable glare on something further along the street, Max narrowed her eyes and followed his gaze curiously and almost doubled backed in recoiling horror.

"Logan…" Unsure of what to say, she turned to Alec and pleaded with her eyes for an explanation, groaning when Alec shrugged. "Has he seen us?" She whispered in hope that the cyber journalist hadn't. Sliding from his seat on the ninja to stand by Max, Alec rested a hand on her arm and smirked.

"Uh huh…maybe later yeah?" Max bit her lower lip and silently sighed as she nodded. "I'd bail if I were you…you don't look too comfy being here so, I'll cover for ya 'kay?" She let her mouth curl into a smirk and drew him into a brief hug before she hopped back onto her motorcycle, gunned the engine and sped out of sight much to the disappointment of both Alec and Logan who approached the male transgenic eagerly.

Stupid Logan crashed the party damnit...oh...shut up, he doesn't know, he couldn't know...shit i'm gonna have to tel him eventually...uh! Men!

Third Person...(that's me! 'tada!')

He'd contemplated shouting after Max as she left Alec on the curb, but realised that under the circumstances that had developed as of late, she would probably just ignore him. Recently they had just drifted apart, barely speaking. 'Hell we haven't spoken to one another for over a week' He inwardly grumbled.

His eyes narrowed on Alec but he let the pang of jealously that had teased at the back of his mind go, after seeing Max hug her supposed pain in the ass goodbye.

As Alec turned to head towards the door of his apartment building, Logan called out to him. Mentally the male transgenic felt like knocking the ordinary unconscious for interrupting what could have been an amazing turn of events in his relationship with Max. 'Well…can you call it a relationship yet?' He wondered. "Logan, hey listen I'm beat. Not really up for chit chat, so whatever it is I'm sure it can wait." Turning back towards the building Alec had to restrain himself from attacking the guy at the question that sprung from him.

"What's goin' on Alec? Why won't Max speak to me?" Logan dug his hands into his jacket pockets and glared impatiently waiting for an answer. "She's distancing herself more and more everyday from me, can't she see what she's doing?" At that Alec slowly spun on his heel and looked at the man before him with a mocking smirk.

"I dunno Logan." 'Maybe it's the whole 'where meant to be together forever, and ever, and ever, and ever Max but I like savin the world from evil even more' you know, the general kinda thing.' He laughed inwardly but outwardly shrugged. "Ask her, I don't speak for Max my friend." Logan scowled and stepped forward angrily.

"You know more than you're letting on Alec. What do you know that you're not telling me?" Alec raised his brow and shook his head as he stepped up closer to Logan, mimicking the ordinaries actions.

"Logan I'm gonna say this just once, and hopefully you'll get the message andpiss off back to your pansy ass apartment." Logan flinched slightly with anger as Alec continued calmly. "Number one, I don't know why Max isn't speakin' you. I don't make it my business to snoop into her business. Number two, you got a problem with her, go find a way of sorting it out with her instead of bugging me. Number three." He smiled wickedly and leant forward threateningly with his hands in his jeans pockets. "You confront me again like that, and I'll introduce your face to my knuckles, kay?" Logan visibly twitched as Alec turned and headed back towards his apartment, before throwing an accusing comment over his shoulder. "How the hell you can turn up here and interrogate me over your own mess is beyond me, especially when I didn't get a thanks for helping you earlier Logie." Seething, Logan bore his eyes into the door Alec disappeared behind and stayed there momentarily before he gathered himself and stalked off back to his car, muttering and whinging to himself.

A/N: Personally i think i could have done better on this chappie, but then i figured if it was that bad you guys would point it out and i'd slap myself to stop whining like a girl lol. R/R please! AnGeL
