A/N: THANK YOU for all of the reviews! I wanted to post this sooner, but i had a BUNCH of stuff to do, so yeah, sorry!
In the Mess Hall
Max sluggishly walked over to the table and placed her food on the table across from 386, "Tough night?" She asked with a smile.
"Not particularly, I just couldn't really sleep, I got some stuff on my mind," Max said with a sigh as she pushed some mush around her plate.
"Or maybe a certain someone," 951 said as he joined the table, and at the raised eyebrow coming from Max, he continued, "Everyone around here can see it, so don't even try playing innocent 452, you're either trying to hide it, you're really dull, or you're in denial."
"I think she's the queen of it," came a reply from 386 as she eyed Max.
"What are you guys talking about!" she asked incredulously.
"Oh quit the crap, you know what we're talking about," 386 said in a playful tone.
"No, actually, I don't."
"494, our CO, your new training partner, hazel eyes, gorgeous body, ring a bell?" 386 said, ignoring the surprised look coming from 951 after she said that last little part.
"Ahm, I think we could have done without that last part," he said in annoyance.
"Yeah, uh, lemme think bout that, NO!" Max said then quickly tried to change the subject, "So, when are you two gonna come clean?"
"About what?" they said in unison, each sporting identical innocent looks.
"Oh come one, even blind people can see the googley-eyed looks you two give each other all the time," Max said, but they were saved, for now, the bell rang for them to go about their morning drills, which she was still going solo on.
Outside- training area
Max was getting ready to go on her daily run, when one of the trainers came up to her and told her to return with her unit, her solo time was all up. So she did as told, and jogged over to the assigned area and stood at attention as everyone was being told of the change in routine. Today, they were told that they were going to have performance testing, but as always, weren't told exactly why. The units dispersed once dismissed, and went to go collect their needed gear. Everyone in their unit was to be split up in threes and try to make it across a series of obstacles. Alec was splitting everyone up into teams, "386, 951, and 728 will be in a group, 215, 722, and 639 in another, and 511 and 452, you're with me. Everybody know what they're doing?"
"Sir, yes sir!" everyone said in unison. "Grrreat…I don't know what 951 and 386 were talking about, they're the ones that are in denial, everyone here knows they got something going on. Oh well, focus, here we go…" Max thought as everyone dispersed to their assigned locations.
"So, ya up for some more action tonight?" Alec asked, with his smug grin firmly in place.
"Yeah, you ready for me to wipe the floor with your ass?" Max spat back.
"And I thought he was lying when he said you were obsessed with his ass," 511 said with a smile.
"Whatever, now there's two of you! Can we please just focus on the task at hand?" Max asked in an exasperated voice.
"Yeah, yeah," Alec said as he handed Max her gear, "Need help changing?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"How bout help from me?" 511 threw in.
"No! And talk about hormones! Lets go!"
"Hey! Aren't I the CO!"
"Whatever pretty boy, lets just get this bitch over with!" Max said as she finished putting on her gear and walked off.
"I'm liking her already! That take-charge attitude of hers is kind of a turn-on," 511 said to Alec.
"Hey! I saw her first!"
"I know, but may the best man win," 511 then quickly added, "I was just kidding!" when Alec shot him a death glare.
In the Field
"Okay, our goal is to get to the assigned location without any interference. If you encounter anyone from an enemy unit, take them out. Stay close, and stay quiet, oh, and stay alert," he said that last part with a smirk towards Max, then under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear, "You're welcome to stay real close to me, Maxie."
Max had to hold back a moan she wanted to let out at the feel of his breath coming up next to her ear. "Yeah, I want to be real close to him- what are you thinking! Get your head in the game soldier! Get your head outta the gutter and FOCUS!" "It's MAX!" she said, a little too loud, and 511 turned towards her questioningly.
"What's Max?" he asked, looking between the two transgenics.
"Shit! Ugh, this is just what I need!" "Nothing," She said as she turned away to hide the reddening of her cheeks, then heard the stifled laughs coming from behind her. "What!"
"It's okay Max, Alec told me all about it, and I felt left out, so we came up for a name for me." 511 said rather proudly while Alec just smiled as Max let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, what is it?"
"Biggs," he said as he and Alec shared a secret look and grinned wildly.
"Nice to meet you, but I don't really want to know the story behind it, so, shall we start?"
"Sure," they said in unison.
They went the rest of the way using hand signals, and talking only when needed. The mission was to detain and capture any members from enemy units, the unit who is left with the most original, and has the most captured will win. It was a piece of cake. A few minutes into the trek, Alec crouched down behind a tree, and signaled the other two to follow suit. He saw some movement up ahead, and zoomed in on it, he could see 657, and two of her unit members, 367, and 489. The three of them stealthily, and quickly shortened the distance between them. As they got closer, someone stepped on a branch and the other team heard. Then hell broke loose, "Well, well, if it isn't Manticore's finest traitor." 657 said with a smile, "I haven't gotten the time to properly thank you for our last meeting," she said as she threw down her marking gun, signaling for Max to do the same.
"Hold it! We're suppose to follow orders!" Alec barked out.
"Aww, 494 trying to protect the little bitch?" 657 said with mock innocence.
Alec could feel Max growing even more angry with every second, and was trying to do everything to hold he back, "657, stand down-"
"What! You didn't get your ass kicked enough, you're coming back for more!" Max interrupted him.
"That's it bitch! Lets go! Right here, if you win, my team will surrender to yours, when I win, your team surrenders to mine."
"No, this isn't part of the procedures!" Alec was growing angry that no one was paying attention to what he was saying.
"See that 452, your own CO doesn't even have enough faith in you."
That said, Alec sighed and said, "Kick her ass 452."
"Sir, yes sir!" She said with a bright smile as she fell into a fighting stance and waited for 657 to have the first move.
A/N: I'm evil, aren't I? Well, actually, I already have the next chapter written, and the one after that planned out, but the next one is suppose to (obviously) have a fight scene in it, and i kinda don't like how it turned out, I'm not that great with that type of stuff, so, I'm going to play around with it, and in advance, I'm really sorry if it completely sucks.
