Max was making the most of her speed as she rushed around her apartment. Clothes were thrown onto her bed then, if they passed inspection, into the large bag she had chosen for packing. T-shirts, jeans, normal things, clothing she could move in, mostly black. Just incase Alec decided to pull any stupid stunts that, knowing him, she was sure would happen. "OC, have you seen my jacket? I was sure I wore it today!"
Original Cindy was standing in the doorway, a bemused expression on her face, as she filed her perfectly manicured nails. "You did, Max. Probably left it at Roller-Boy's."
"Ohhh," Max moaned as she grabbed the necessities, like a toothbrush, "shit! I did leave it at Logan's."
Original Cindy smirked slightly, she was greatly enjoying Max's somewhat frantic packing. Since the moment Max had, literally, hit the door on her way in, she had been running around like a chicken with her head cut off. "OC just told you that, right, Boo?"
Max successfully seemed to have gathered her belongings, and she zipped up her bag quickly, smiling as she turned to her roommate. "I think I have everything. Time? Alec said he'd be back in ten minutes…"
This, of course, was Max's reason to try out for the world's fastest packing Olympics. Both transgenics had decided that every moment they waited to leave was a moment totally wasted. Original Cindy put down her nail file on Max's ransacked dresser and held her arms out wide. "Guess this is goodbye, huh?"
Max laughed as she hugged her best friend, having caught sight of the clock and realizing that she had exactly two minutes to spare. "Never goodbye. Besides, this is just a quick trip!"
Original Cindy nodded, releasing her friend and motioning towards the door, "Unhuh, OC believes you, Boo. Now get your ass out that door before Alec comes up here looking for you, and OC has to put the smack-down on both your asses!"
Max laughed, but humored her roommate as she always did when Original Cindy threatened to take her down. As she rushed out the door, bag banging against her hip, Max called back fondly, "I better jet, catch ya later!"
Original nodded as she watched the door shut, listening to the rapid sounds of Max barreling down the stairs. Everything else be damned, Max is gonna go get her momma. And heaven help anyone in her path.
Max got outside only to find that, despite her efforts, it had officially been eleven minutes and Alec was already waiting on his own motorcycle. "Ugh," she swung onto her Ninja, haphazardly parked half on the curb, "sorry."
Alec chuckled slightly as he revved up his bike, which was a relatively new acquirement and he loved it almost as much as Max loved her Ninja. "What took you so long, Maxie?"
For his efforts, Max graced Alec with a steely glare, tempted to flip him off and shout 'none of your business!' Instead, she settled for the truth. "Lost my jacket."
Attention having been brought to Max's infamous leather jacket, Alec did notice that she wasn't wearing it, and heaved a sigh. "So, did you find it, or are we going on some wild goose chase?"
Having successfully secured her bag of belongings, Max started her bike and turned to face Alec This is HIS fault! "I left it at Logan's when you called me."
Alec sighed, Of course, she somehow manages to make this MY fault, when she was the one being scatterbrained. Muttering half under his breath, "Sure this isn't just some excuse to say bye to lover boy?"
"No," Max replied, her voice in that sickeningly sweet tone that always told Alec he was going to regret being born, "this is an excuse to get you and Logan in the same room. So you can explain how your hacking into the wrong database jacked up Manticore's security and is keeping Logan from finding a cure."
Max had that 'no nonsense you WILL apologize,' look in her eyes that made Alec groan. "Shit, Max, do I have to?" At her happy nod he almost growled, "Fine. If Logan thinks he's getting an apology though, he can kiss my-"
"Alec, shut up so we can get moving," Max called out as she kicked her bike off and roared down the road, leaving Alec to catch up.
