This chapter is set up in a series of fractured moments. It was just easier to convey everything I wanted to without having to retype everything that happened in this episode.

Alec rode his bike through a burning X an angry mob had raised outside Terminal City. Then he jumped over the boundary fence. He rode it into the headquarters with a smirk on his face.

"Did you guys see those ordinaries scatter?" He asked, smiling. The smile faded however when he saw the expressions of those around him. "What happened?"

The ordinaries flinched and the transgenics readied themselves when something smashed through the main window of Jam Pony. Then they relaxed when instead of the hail of rocks or gunfire they were expecting from the mob outside, they saw Alec astride a hoverdrone.

"Anyone order a pizza?" He stepped off of the crunched machine. He walked over to Max and kissed her cheek. Then he placed a hand on her belly. "Hey honey I'm home."

Max rolled her eyes. "Always the grand entrance huh Alec?"

"Of course baby." He kissed her lightly on her lips.

"Wait!" Normal looked between the two transgenics. "My Golden Boy is a mutant?"

"We prefer the term 'genetically empowered.'" Alec replied, brushing of Normal's shocked expression. "Now Maxie, what's the plan?"

Max, Alec and Cece with their 'hostages' led the group out to the fuelled up van Clemmente had delivered outside.

Some idiot screamed "Freak!" and shot at the transgenics. Mole returned fire and a gunfight between the police and the transgenics inside Jam Pony followed.

When the smoke cleared and the group was back inside, the aftermath was devastating. Cece lay on the ground, eyes staring blankly upwards and Max was examining a gunshot wound on Alec's bicep.

"You're bleeding!" Sketchy told Alec after he dragged his gaze away from Cece's still form.

"Yeah, bullets'll do that to you." Alec replied glibly.

OC looked on helplessly as Gem went into hard labor. Cindy dabbed at the younger woman's forehead with a rag.

Alec and Max watched from across the room as Normal nudged OC out of the way and began to attend to the laboring woman. They were sitting on one of the benches in the locker area, Max leaning back against Alec, his arms wrapped around her with his hands on her belly.

Max looked over at Alec, her eyes sympathetic for the other pregnant transgenic. Alec watched Gem's face contort with pain, and then he kissed Max gently. When he pulled away, it was with a smiled after he felt his hand get kicked.

When Normal the self proclaimed transgenic hater delivered the daughter of two transgenics, he had a huge smile on his face. After cleaning off the squalling baby, he handed her carefully to her mother.

Gem looked at the back of her daughter's neck. When she found it bare, she beamed up at OC and Normal.

"No barcode. She's free."

Clemmente fumed outside Jam Pony. Some dumbass Washington D.C. bigwig had given jurisdiction over to some suit.

Right now the fed and his six colleaegues were suiting up to raid the building. He knew that this guy was one cold piece of work and didn't seem to care all that much about the hostages inside.

Max and Alec climbed into the back of the ambulance along with Gem and her daughter Eve. Alec pulled off the helmet he was wearing and gave his mate a wide grin.

"If our kids have half our genius minds, watch out world!"

"Kid." Max corrected automatically. "As in singular."

He wrapped an arm around her as the ambulance moved forward. "This was a brilliant plan you know."

She smiled and shot him a look. She couldn't help noticing how sexy he was looking in his stolen SWAT outfit. "Are you saying that because it was brilliant, or because you thought of it?"

Alec and Max watched Josh raise his flag on the tallest building on TC's border. They were joined by a crowd of transgenics, all hoping to move into the light. Alec wrapped his arms tighter around her as he stood behind her.

What do you guys think? There's more to come, don't worry this isn't the end.

Afterall we still have to see who wins the bet ; )
