A/N: Sorry I haven't updated, I've been REALLY busy, and the past two weeks have been CRAZY! But yeah, forgive me if this isn't the best, I'm all hopped up on medicine…and thanks for the reviews!

In a Hall

"So there's some cult loonies out there that are bent on ruling the world?" Alec asked with a furrowed brow as he and Max walked over to get their supplies. "Sounds like something outta some cheesy sci-fi movie."

"And genetically enhanced soldiers being bred from test-tubes, growing up in a military facility, being tortured on a daily basis doesn't?" Max asked with the arch of her brow.

"Point taken," and with that they grabbed their stuff and headed back to the dorms.

Dorms

As Max and Alec walked in together, all eyes were on them, and they saw 386 and 951 quickly turn around and hush the fellow transgenics around them. "That wasn't so subtle," Max thought.

"Whatcha talkin' bout?" Alec said with his trademark smirk.

"Nothing," came a reply from 386, a twinkle in her eyes, "What's up with you guys? Training take a lil' longer today?"

"No, Deck summoned us, we're heading out for a mission tomorrow morning."

"Ooh, long term?" 951 asked, a hint of jealousy, "Why couldn't they send me and 386?"

"Probably," Max answered with a shrug. And that was the last of the questions, everyone knew they weren't allowed to talk that much about the specifics. And Alec walked over to Biggs to let him know he'd be out for a while.

"So, what do you think the chances of you getting any are?" Biggs asked with a smile.

"High…almost did if the guard hadn't of showed up," Alec said, meeting Biggs' raised eyebrow with a cocky smile.

"Okay man, good luck."

"Don't need it," and with that, a guard passed by and called for lights out. Within a matter of minutes everyone said they're 'good-nights'.

Alec was too excited, and had trouble sleeping, he didn't know how things were going to play out for their mission. And he knew that Max wasn't sleeping either, she hardly ever did… now if only there weren't so many people in the room! Alec shook his head to clear out the images that were quickly passing…

Max knew he wasn't sleeping, then wondered what that rustling sound coming from his bunk was, so she turned on her side to see, and he did the same. They sat there and stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Max was the first to break the contact, and gave a small smile, even in the dark Alec could see her blush. Alec smiled back and mouthed a 'good-night Maxie' to her and she mouthed a 'good-night Alec' right back. They both closed their eyes, both drifting off to a land in-between consciousness.

Deck's Office

Max and Alec stood at attention as Deck gave them some last-minute info, and reminding them to not use their special talents, they might get caught. And to make sure that they remove their barcodes weekly, they don't want to compromise their mission. They have no clue how to recognize familiar from ordinary, so they have to be very careful. "What does he think we are, three! We've known to be suspicious of everyone, and everything since they could remember," Max thought as she listened to Deck drone on. "Well, at least it'll give me some time outta this shit-hole, and some alone time with our favorite transgenic," another voice said, and that made Max blush a little, but Deck was too busy to notice, but it was just her luck that Alec had glanced her way, he gave her an all to knowing smile, then put his mask firmly back in place.

"And remember, failure is NOT an option, you're not only doing this just for your superiors, it's also for your fellow transgenics, as well as the rest of the ordinaries. Also, over time, we will be sending in other transgenics, giving them various covers, we'll notify you as we do so."

"Sir! Yes, sir!" The two transgenics said in unison.

"Dismissed!" and with that, they exited, and made their way to the roof, they'd be flown to a secure location, then given a car, then they go to the airport to be flown to Seattle.

In a car

The helicopter trip was silent, they didn't want to fraternize in front of the guards. Max was surprised Alec could stay silent for so long, "that must be a record," she thought to herself.

"So, Maxie, how do you think we should go about this whole thing?"

"Huh?"

"You know, with our covers being husband and wife, should we play totally in love, all affectionate and stuff? I mean, we are suppose to be happily married."

"We're also suppose to be professional, so I don't think that playing all lovey-dovey is gonna get us anywhere, so get your mind outta the gutter."

"Aw…Maxie, you wound me!" He said with mock hurt, holding his hand to his heart.

"Just drive pretty boy," Max said with a smile as the airport came into view.

"I guess from here on out, we call each other by our aliases."

"Okay."

"So…Victoria do ya wanna let me in on your secret?" Alec said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"I'm not even gonna respond to that," she said with the roll of her eyes as she opened the door to get out, she then walked on ahead, leaving Alec to get all the luggage.

"Hey! Isn't marriage suppose to be a partnership!"

"Yeah, I lead, and you follow, partner," she answered with a smile as he struggled with the baggage, it wasn't that it was at all heavy, just bulky. "Besides, it wouldn't look realistic if I carried any of that, I'm suppose to be an ordinary, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!"

"Just shut-up and follow me!"

"Aren't husbands suppose to wear the pants in the relationship!"

"Keep thinking that if it helps you sleep at night!" and with that she walked through the doors, not even holding it open for Alec, she just smiled as he struggled with the bags and the door. "What took you so long?" Max asked with the raise of a brow.

"You try opening a door without the use of any arms!"

"Whatever pretty boy, you'd think that with the extra training you have on me, you'd be fine, but I guess not…"

"Ya know, you keep being so mean, I might ask for a divorce!"

"That's all I had to do!"

"Would it really kill you to be even a little, teensy, weensy bit nice?"

"No, but this is just SO much more fun!" She answered as she checked them in and got their boarding passes.
