A/N: Review please

Two days later, Max, Zack, Alec and O.C. were having breakfast when Max's pager beeped. She sighed, then hurried over to the phone and dialed Logan's number.

"Me hitting you back. What's up?" she said.

"I need you to get over here immediately," Logan said.

She exhaled slowly. "I'm sort of busy, can it wait?"

"No. It's about transgenics."

This quickly caught her attention and she said, "Be there in 5," then hung up the phone.

She turned to Alec and Zack. "We gotta get over to Logan's. He said something about a transgenic situation."

They quickly got up, threw on their jackets, and left.

Logan's door barged open and Zack said, "What's the situation?"

"Hello to you too," Logan said dryly. He beckoned them over to his computer and pulled up a mini video of lights flashing.

"These lights have been going for a while, and it's close to the Manticore site. Do they mean anything?" he asked.

"It's a signal from Manticore. We were taught to look for it in case the facility was compromised," Max said.

Zack quickly deciphered the lights. "Regroup. Echo Golf 427952. Friday. Today!"

All three X5s turned to leave but Logan got up and blocked Max's path.

"Max. This is dangerous. Are you sure you should go?"

Alec rolled his eyes. "Don't worry. We'll make sure princess gets back safe. After all, she is only a genetically engineered killing machine who knows how to kick ass."

Even Max couldn't help but get annoyed. "Logan," she said, trying not to let the impatience seep into her voice. "They tried to kill them. And now they want to finish the job. That's something I'm not going to let happen." Before he could get another word in, she turned around and left.

"This is the place," Alec said. "It reeks of bad guy hideout."

Max punched his arm. "Shut up."

Alec looked at Zack. "Could you tell your girlfriend to ease up on the bodily harm?"

Zack chuckled. "I'm sure she has good judgment."

Max stuck her tongue out at Alec then kissed Zack. "Thanks baby."

"Oh God, I'm gonna puke," Alec said.

"Shh," Zack said, as a guard came near their hiding spot. The guard frowned for a moment, then turned around. Max jumped up behind him and knocked him unconscious, while Alec picked up his gun.

The three X5s moved stealthily across the compound to the generator and turned it off. All the lights went off. Then they went to the laser and Max appeared out of nowhere in front of the man.

"What's up Doc?"

Alec came up behind him and knocked the guy out with his gun, then started typing away at the controls.

"What the hell is that?" White said. "Check it out and get the generator back on." The soldiers nodded and went towards the generator. They found the unconscious guard and radioed back to White.

"Sir. We've got a security breach. The perimeter's been compromised."

"Shit," White said. He left his tent and found one of his men looking at the sky. "Now's not exactly the time to be stargazing, you moron."

"Sir, that's not the signal to regroup. It's the signal to scatter and go to ground."

White turned on his radio. "White to all units. Disable the signal now."

All the transgenics following the signal in the woods stop and turn around back the way they came after seeing the new signal.

"It's done," Zack said. "Trash it."

Alec lifted his gun and started blasting the controls.

White heard noises coming from the laser. He started running toward it and stopped when he saw the transgenic from the DNA workup. He raised his gun.

Zack saw White coming and tugged on Max's and Alec's arms.

"Come on."

They started running but all of a sudden Max felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. 'What the hell?' she thought. The world started spinning and she stumbled and fell behind. Zack just noticed Max wasn't behind him anymore. He turned around to see her start falling to the ground. "Max!" He ran back towards her and Alec, seeing White about to fire, started shooting at him and his soldiers, covering Zack.

Max vaguely heard Zack shout her name, but she was already starting to lose focus. Her head was killing her and when she hit the ground all was black.

Max opened her eyes and was blinded by light. She blinked a few times before she realized where she was. They were at Logan's penthouse, Logan sitting at his computer desk, Alec leaning against the wall worriedly, Zack holding her hand and she lying on the couch.

"Zack?"

He smiled weakly at her. "You scared me Maxie. What happened?"

"I don't know." She struggled to remember. "I was running then all of a sudden I just got so dizzy. I was so tired and all I remember was falling to the ground."

"X5s don't randomly get dizzy Max," Alec said. "And you hardly ever get tired, with your shark DNA."

"I know." She looked at Zack worriedly. "Oh my god. What if it's happening, Zack? Could I be getting Progeria?"

Zack shook his head furiously. "No. You can't. You can't Maxie you just…" 'What am I going to do?' he thought. 'I can't lose her. It might not be Progeria but what else can it be?'

Zack tried to keep his voice as calm as possible so he wouldn't alarm Max. "How 'bout we go see a doctor?"

"But X5s don't get sick. If it's not Progeria what else can it be? I don't think I'm sick since we can't get sick so…" she trailed off, not knowing what to think.

Logan spoke up. "I can get Sam Carr to check you up. He already knows about you guys being transgenics, and he's trustworthy."

Zack nodded. "We need to get you checked up Max."

Alec walked over. "It'll be okay."

Max nodded, finally agreeing. "Okay."

On the way to the doctor's, Max kept getting dizzy.

"God Logan, stop the car. I'm going to throw up."

Logan quickly swerved the car to the curb and Max opened the door and puked for 5 minutes, Zack holding back her hair and rubbing her back. When she was done, she wiped her mouth and looked at Zack, the terror on her face.

"What's happening to me?" she wailed.

Zack, Alec and Logan all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Logan drove the rest of the way, with everyone in the car silent.

"Well, let's see what's wrong," Dr. Carr said. "You say that you've been dizzy on and off and you threw up for no apparent reason."

Max nodded, then stopped when the action hurt her head.

Dr. Carr turned to the three men. "Would you three please kindly wait outside?"

Zack, Alec and Logan left.

"Well, Max," Carr said kindly. "I'm first just going to do the standard checkup first, see if maybe it's something completely ordinary happening."

"But X5s don't get sick," Max protested.

"I know," he said. "Just to see."

"Okay." She lay back on the examination table and he checked various parts of her body. When Carr found out what was wrong, he smiled. Max looked at him, dumbfounded that he was smiling. Carr turned to the window and motioned the men impatiently waiting inside. They hurriedly came in and Zack asked, "Well?"

Carr didn't stop smiling. "Nothing out of the ordinary."

They were all shocked.

"With all due respect, Doc," Alec said. "But she just puked up everything in her stomach, and has been so dizzy she could barely walk. I think that this constitutes something as not ordinary."

"What's wrong with me?" Max asked.

Carr turned to her. "Nothing at all. You're pregnant."
