A/N: I realised I didn't do one in the first chapter, but yeah, this is just another MA fic, hope you guys like it. It's my first one, so don't sue me if it's not too good.

Chapter 2: Transgenic Trouble

Max came to a stop outside Jam Pony, and after parking her baby against the wall, walked inside to find Alec. She wanted to talk to him about getting some supplies for TC the next night. She saw him standing next to the lockers, talking to Biggs, an X5 that had been in Alec's unit back in the good old days. She could hear them talking, and realised that they were discussing their first assignment together. Just as she reached them, they said in unison 'Lola'. She looked up at Alec and said 'Who's Lola?' but he just grinned at Biggs, and said 'No one.' Yeah, no one, like I'm gonna fall for that. Just another of his many conquests knowing Alec. Or Biggs', if he's anything like Alec.

'Yeah, well anyway, can I talk to you? In private?' She added, looking up at him and then turned to walk into the corner. He looked at Biggs, who had a questioning look on his face, shrugged and followed.

'What's up Maxie?' he asked, which earned him a glare.

'I've told you, don't call me that. Anyway, do you have plans tomorrow night? Dix gave me a list of stuff they need, and I figured I'd do it tomorrow. Can you come?' She looked up him, and was suddenly struck by how beautiful his eyes were. Wait, beautiful? God, do I need sleep or something? It's only been a couple of days. She shook her head slightly, as if to clear it. 'Well?' she demanded, looking up at him.

'Sure, where are we getting the stuff…' he was interrupted by his cell ringing. 'Hang on. Alec' He answered.

'Hey, it's Luke. We got trouble, sector 5. White's already on his way.' Luke's worried voice came through the phone.

'On it' was all Alec said before he hung up the phone, and Max saw the concern covering his face.

'What's up?' Max asked, starting to get worried.

'A transgenic was spotted in Sector 5 a few minutes ago; Luke said White's men are already on their way.' He answered, already heading back out towards the main room, where Biggs was still standing next to their packs. He shot Alec a questioning look as he strode back into the room, picking his bag up as he went.

'We gotta get down there before White does. Let's go. Bring Biggs; let's see what he's made of.' She said as the walked back through the lockers behind him. Biggs, being an X5, heard her despite the fact that she was whispering.

'Bring me where?' He asked Alec as he caught up to him, a look of questioning covering his face.

'Got a little, uh, trouble in Sector 5, gotta go sort it out.' Alec answered as he walked past, and Biggs understood immediately and after picking up his back pack, he followed Max and Alec to the entrance of Jam Pony. All three had their motorbikes there, which was lucky as they it would have taken twice as long on a regular bike, and they all got on and headed off in the direction of Sector 5.

They jumped on their bikes, put them into gear in unison and sped off. They pulled up to the Sector 5 checkpoint in less then five minutes and they pulled out their Jam Pony passes.

'Jam Pony messengers' Max said to the sector cop.

'We got a pick up in Sector 5, Harbor Lights Hospital.' Alec added, and with a quick look at their passes, the guard waved them through. It took them a minute to locate the transgenic, and they saw the cops closing in on him.

'Ready?' Max asked them.

'I'm always ready' Alec answered with a smirk.

'Funny, that's what Lola said' Biggs noted, which caused him and Alec to laugh. They received a groan from Max, and Alec earned a smack up the back of his head.

'Come on, let's do this' Max said, and they all looked forward. Alec rode off first, picking up a metal pole as he went. He used this to knock out two of the cops he passed and Biggs followed suit. While they took care of the cops, Max drove forward to the Transgenic.

'Get on!' she yelled, and he jumped on behind her. Just then a black car pulled up in front of her, and White stepped out. 'Oh shit.' She turned her bike around, heading back to where Alec and Biggs were dealing with the last few cops. As she rode past she yelled at them 'Alec, Biggs, we got company.' Out of the corner of her eye she saw them glance up, and heard Alec's soft 'shit.' Then short started, and Max felt one pass close to her arm. She came to a stop and looked back at White. He and his partner were firing at random, hoping to hit them. She saw Alec duck a bullet as Biggs pulled out a gun of his own. She knew he wouldn't shoot to kill, but then she noticed a few sector cops moving towards their own bikes. 'Biggs' she called out, and when he turned his head to look at her, she nodded her head towards them. He understood, and took aim at their wheels. In three shots he had disabled their bikes and the four transgenics prepared to leave. Just as Biggs was about to drive off, he noticed that White was out of bullets and saw they were about to get in their car to follow, so he took aim again and shot out the front tires of their car. Then he turned around and followed Alec and Max back to TC

Later that day, Biggs was standing in a market buying lunch, when he noticed that he was being surrounded. He started to walk away, then broke into a run and went into an abandoned building. This was not good. He took a long, roundabout way back to his bike, and as he was walking down the street towards it, his phone rang.

'Yeah?' he answered.

'Hey, it's me. Look, you gotta get back here now' Alec said through the phone. But before he could answer, he saw someone holding a metal pipe coming up behind him.

'Hey, wanna contribute to the trannie-free city?' the man asked. Biggs shot him a look and said 'Not today, sorry.' And he was about to walk away when he saw the man raise the pipe to hit him. He moved out of the way, and moved behind the man, knocking him unconscious before he noticed the guy's friends heading his way.

'Alec, I'll be right there.' As he said this, he saw the T.V. screen with his picture on it, along with a warning informing the public that he was a transgenic. Fantastic, just what I need. Well, this explains a lot, like the group of men in trench coats. I need to move. 'Shit' he said into the phone.

'I take it you've seen the news?' Alec asked, trying to sound like his usual self, despite his concern.

'Yeah, I gotta go. I'll be there soon. But this is so not good.' And he hung up, threw his bike into gear and sped off towards Terminal City.

'The gates to TC opened as the guards recognised Biggs. He rolled through, giving them a nod, and headed to head quarters.

When he got there, everyone was standing still, no one talking. He shot a questioning look to Mole, who simply indicated a room off to the side that was, for lack of a better name, Max's office. This, and the noticeable absence of Max and Alec, brought Biggs to the conclusion that the two of them were having an argument. He moved towards the door, and could hear them as clearly as if they had been standing next to him. Ah, the beauty of having heightened senses.

'What do you mean, you haven't got it yet? You said you'd have it by TODAY AT THE LATEST!' Max was practically screaming at him.

'I know Max, what can I say? My guy was late. I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow. Relax, will ya?' Alec replied, and then mentally kicked himself because he knew that last bit was gonna earn him a smack up the head or another verbal thrashing. Either way, he was prepared.

'Relax? Did you just tell me to relax? Are you KIDDING ME? How can I relax Alec? We've got new trangenics arriving every day, ordinaries gathering by the hundreds outside, White and his familiars and now this thing with Biggs. How are we gonna explain THAT to Normal, huh? All you had to do was get a supply of Tryptophan in for the X5s. A simple job really. I should've just asked…' but she was cut off by a pissed off Alec.

'Who? Logan? I know how much is going on here, and I know how careful we need to be right now. Geez Max, you act like I'm two. I said I'd get it and I'll get it. As much as you might like to think, not everything that goes wrong is my fault.' Max was so stunned by his outburst that she could only stand there and stare at him as he walked towards the door. He reached for the door handle, and before he turned it, he turned his head and said as an after thought 'Oh, and don't worry about Normal. I'll deal with it. Unless you don't think I can handle it' the last bit was coated in sarcasm.

She opened her mouth to reply, but he was gone through the door. He was moving so fast he barely noticed Biggs standing there. 'Hey, you made it back. Run into any more trouble? Well, I guess you're gonna be stuck here in TC for a while. Haha. Don't worry, I'm sure you and Mole will get along just fine.'

Mole, who like everyone else in the room, had been listening the entire time, looked over at this last bit and glared. 'Hey, I take offence to that'

Alec grinned at him. 'What? Come on, you know you're not the most easy going guy.' This got everyone laughing. But the room fell silent again as Max's voice cut through saying 'Biggs. How did they make you as a transgenic?'

He looked over at her and shrugged. 'No idea'

'Well then, we'll need to get an idea. Luke, Dix, see if you can hack into the FBI's database, figure it out. And soon'

A/N: well, there's chapter 2!! Hope you liked it, sorry for not killing Biggs, I just couldn't do it. I'll try to update at least once a week. I've written the whole thing, I'm in the process of typing it up and fixing it up – I have a tendency to leave words out when I'm in a rush, or even stop mid-word, as my friend pointed out to me. Please review!!
