A/N: Thank you to everyone for reading, reviewing, and enjoying! Oh and a special thanks to Nina430 for reviewing on all of my other chapters that she's read.

In the gym

"You just can't wait to get your hands on me, can you?" 494 said while blocking a left hook from Max.

"Enough with all the smart-aleck comments already, can we just fight?" Max asked in annoyance, meanwhile becoming distracted and getting punched square in the jaw by a smiling 494.

"I thought you were here long enough to learn one of the most important lessons, ALWAYS be alert," 494 said, while Max looked at him in shock, "I guess I'm not the only dirty fighter around here, well, he wants to fight dirty, we'll fight dirty," Max thought, while rubbing her cheek and feigning pain.

At the look of pain on her face, 494 instantly felt bad, and went to her, "You o-" SMACK! He got hit square in the face with a very mean right hook, which was closely followed by a left.

"Rule number one, ALWAYS be alert," Max said with a smile, then she went for a roundhouse, but this time he was ready, and grabbed her leg, and swung her into a wall.

"I just thought I'd let you feel good and get in a couple hits."

"So you knew I was faking?"

"Totally."

"Mmhm, suuuuuuure," and with that, she blocked a punch, and quickly followed with one of her own jabs. "He's a good fighter, most likely better than me, plus he also has pure size over me. But I'm not a quitter, odds aren't gonna stop me from kicking his ass."

"For her size, she sure packs a mean punch," 494 thought, giving her a roundhouse kick that was too powerful for her to stop, so it may not have connected with its mark, but it made her stumble back, and he quickly kicked her feet out from under her, and to his surprise, she did the same thing back, and they were both on the floor. For some reason, she started laughing, more like giggling, and it was so infectious that he started laughing. Furthermore, he had no clue why. In between fits of laughter, he asked, "What's sso fu-funny?" After she calmed down, she said,

"Nothing particular, just the situation, ya know?"

"Or maybe you just couldn't wait for us to be tangled up together?"

"I knew it wouldn't last."

"Knew what wouldn't last?"

"You going five minutes without mentioning any sexual innuendos."

"Can I ask you something?" he said, suddenly taking on a serious face.

"It depends."

"On?"

"On whether or not I want to answer it."

"Okay, why did you leave? Back in '09, why'd you escape?" he could see that he struck a nerve and mentally kicked himself, "good going! Now she'll probably just get mad and hit you."

A/N: I already have the next chapter written, but I think I want to have the one after that written before I post it, that way, in case anything comes up, I'll be ahead and can regularly update. Also, I'm thinking of starting another story, but want it to either be during the second season, or after, or hell, maybe an altogether AU, but yeah, if anyone has any specific requests (ie: you want specific characters in it, or whatever…of course it'll be Max/Alec!), let me know!
