Summary: Max and Alec didn't meet in Manticore (Kinda Alternate Universe) Will this change how they feel about each other? M/A

Chapter TWO

"So Logan, what are we gonna do with that mermaid?" Max asked. She noticed the perturbed look he was giving her and Alec and had decided to change the subject.

"Well there is a lake about twenty minutes away, it leads to the ocean. She should be alright once you get her there. First I think that we should just give her a couple minutes to recuperate." Max nodded.

Alec had wandered off to Logan's kitchen in search for food. Their conversation was just too boring for him to listen to. "Max... who is he?" Logan whispered noticing his absence.

"I am 494 X5-series, Max called me Alec" Alec said while emerging from the kitchen with a sandwich. 'He is eating a sandwich that is MY sandwich' thought Logan. He only nodded at the response.

Max noticed the tension "yeah just another puppy dog following me home...when did you get away anyways? You're not a 09-er."

"You would know. Don't you recognize me?" Max shook her head. "What is it you called me? Ben?"

"You're twinned... I got that part I meant when did you escape? I didn't know that anyone else did escape. I thought we were the only ones."

'What does he want me to kick his ass... Alec suits him just fine... How come I didn't notice how hot he looks?' Max realized that she was staring, he was grinning and she tore his gaze from him, to look at her shoes.

"I escaped about two months ago, a lot of Manticore projects did. I am not the only one; I mean look mermaid girl escaped didn't she?"

"Good point..." 'I let some out?'

"I am surprised you don't recognize me, I mean you did punch me out." Alec grinned again.

"That was you?" Max started to laugh. Logan was scowling. 'What the hell are they talking about? Right inside joke... I hate being on the outside.' Alec eventually joined in.

"Well now that everyone is all introduced how about we get the water woman out of my bathroom?" Logan interrupted.

'Is he jealous? Now that has got to be a first... I thought I was the only one to get jealous of him... stupid Asha... not that it is her fault...'

"Max... Max..." Alec tried to get her attention. 'Strange girl.'

"Uh ya let's deal with that huh?" Max turned to the bathroom, and went to signal to the mermaid. Alec walked in behind her. "Yeah uh... ya know you don't have to help... I can do the rest." Max told Alec.

"Nah got nothing better to do. Sides you can't get rid of me that easily" Alec whispered the last part so Logan couldn't hear. Max frowned, though the smile was threatening to prevail.

"Well look at that she is a mommy..." Alec said while watching the mermaid swim around with the little tadpoles and the merman. He was a tad bit disappointed; he was hoping she would be single.

It wasn't difficult to get the mermaid to the lake, no run ins with White. Logan stayed at his place reluctantly. Max insisted that Alec and her could take care of the issue. Also taking into consideration that Logan and Alec didn't seem to like each other.

"Look at that." Max said without very much amusement. Then she turned around and headed to the car that she had stolen earlier.

"So what are ya gonna do now that you saved the day?" Alec quipped.

"Ya know... I don't know..." She paused "I am gonna go get a beer." Max grinned at the thought of drinking her favorite foamy drink and sitting down at her favorite hang-out.

"Where are we going?"

"Wait a minute who gave you an invite?" Alec grinned; she turned the other way and started walking.

"Hey come on, I helped you the least you can do is buy me a beer" he prodded. 'Man is she stubborn or what? I like it.'

Max stopped and turned to him. "Uh... no!"

"Please Max?" Max wouldn't give "I will buy."

Any traces of her previous moodiness faded away "Ok."

"Can I drive?" Alec grinned.

"Now you're pushing your luck." Max grinned back and jumped in the driver seat.
