Disclaimer: Still don't Mutant X...neither does Melodie568, who is co-writing with me (right Mel?) "Right!"
Thank you very much for all the reviews, they mean everything to me. Though to be honest, I'd write whether I got any, cause writing is an outlet for me.
Ok to continue the advancement of this story...
Chapter 3: Lexa/ Max
Lexa walked down the halls at Sanctuary, she was still getting used to it being there. She still could not understand, she saw it explode, they all had. Somehow, Sanctuary survived, she had an idea Adam knew more about that than he was telling. She would probably never get the truth out of Adam and she was just going to have to accept that. Yeah right!
She and the other members of Mutant X were still getting packed and getting ready to move to the large estate, Ashlocke had bought for Adam. It was to be called Xavier Estates and it resided in a town named Serenity. The biggest change there would be the fact that they would actually have neighbors.
She walked into the kitchen and walked to the refrigerator. She took out the pitcher of orange juice and put it on the counter. She walked to the cabinet and got a glass out, and proceeded to pour herself some orange juice.
It had been one week since the change at Haven, and the team had been split into two teams. She wasn't completely happy with the assignments either. Sanctuary's team had fewer people than the Haven team. However, the Sanctuary team was getting more of the assignments. She walked across to the computers and sat down.
She flashed back to one of the last times she was in Sanctuary. It almost made her laugh thinking about it. Jesse got milk out of the fridge, and swallowed before realizing it was spoiled. According to Brennan, Jesse did it several times in fact. Something to do with a time traveling mutant.
She pulled the drawer out in the desk, pulled out the aspirin, poured out two and popped them in her mouth, with her orange juice.
"Headache?"
Lexa looked up to see her fiancée Max standing there, she smiled slightly, "Yeah, what are you doing up at this time of night?"
"Feral, hello?"
Lexa laughed, "I forget you guys are nocturnal."
"There is another reason I'm up though," smiled Max.
"Me?"
"No, Rosalie and Dakota are making too much noise, if you know what I mean?"
"Do I ever," smirked Lexa. "Makes me sick."
"Me too, and they're not the only ones, Gabby and Zane."
"Aw man! Are we the only ones not doing it?"
"Yeah," said Max seriously.
"Max!"
"You brought it up," joked Max. "Do you have any idea what Dax did to me about an hour ago?"
"No, what did he do?"
"He called me up, talked about half an hour, and then started talking to Rosalie. He covered the mouthpiece, but hello, feral! He started talking sexy to her, and her back to him. He said bye, forgot to hang up, and proceeded to do "it" while I was suffering. I hung up of course."
"Yeah sure you did."
"What were we talking about?" he blushed.
"Max, I think we need to talk."
"No we don't, I'm cool waiting till we are married before having sex."
"I feel silly waiting Max. I've done it before, so have you, right?"
"Yeah...no."
"What?"
"I'm a virgin."
"Oh."
"I'm not ashamed of it. But I never felt like having random sex with strangers."
"I never had random sex!"
"I didn't say you, Lexa."
"Sorry, are you sure you want to marry me?"
"Yeah! I love you Lexa, always have."
"You hated me a few weeks ago."
"I thought Dax was dead."
"I betrayed you 4 years ago."
"For Leo, remember Lexa, I have a brother too."
"Yeah, a little brother, who is getting laid right now."
"Thanks for reminding me," sneered Max. "Are you having second thoughts about marrying me?"
"No...yeah..kinda."
"What?"
"I love you, but I don't understand how you could love me back."
"Cause love is forgiving those who aren't perfect. You're not perfect, neither am I, nobody is. I love you, because of who you are. No wait, that's not true."
"You mean you don't love me?"
"No, that's not what I mean. I love you, but not because of who you are. I love you, because of who I am, when I with you."
"You are who you are without me Max. Don't tell me I make you a better person."
"No, you don't, but you make me want to be."
Max walked into his room and closed the door. He walked to his dresser, pulled out his pajamas and placed them on the top of the dresser. He walked into the bathroom and turned the hot water on. He shed his clothes and walked under the steaming hot water. He felt his muscles relaxing, until his feral senses caught the scent of someone else near him. He opened the shower door and standing there was Lexa. She shed her robe and walked into the shower with him.
"Lexa?"
"Shh!" she silenced him with a kiss. She closed the door behind her.
