I don't own Dark Angel, and I don't know or own any actors that starred in the series, although that would be cool...

"Alec?!" Max said with a mix of shock and anger.

"Oh, hey Max." Alec said almost incoherrently before laying his head back down on the pillow. Max just stared at him, trying to gather her thoughts when Alec apparently realized what was going on. He popped one eye open and looked around the posh hotel room. "Max?"

"What?" she asked, still trying to search her memory for any clue as to why her and Alec were there...together.

"What-"

"I don't know." She answered before he had time to complete his thought. "The last thing I remember was walking out of Jam Pony on Thursday. What's today?"

Alec looked at his watch and shrugged. "Friday." He sat up again. "I remember Jam Pony too. I looked at the clock before I walked out. It was 3:00."

Max folded her arms. "Why can't I remember anything?" She didn't want to admit it, but Max was scared.

Alec got out of the bed and walked over to where Max was standing. It was then that they finally got a good look at what they were wearing, but it didn't make Max anymore confident. She was wearing one of Alec's t-shirts and Alec was in only his boxers.

"We didn't..." Alec started.

"No..."

"Are you sure?"

"No."

"This can't be good."

"No..."

"Okay, so let's backtrack are you sure-" Alec stopped in the middle of his sentence. "Uh oh."

"Uh oh?" Max asked impatiently. "What do you mean 'uh oh'?"

Alec pointed to the slip of paper on the nightstand next to Max. Max picked it up and read it. "Oh no." She suddenly became dizzy, but Alec caught her before she hit the floor.

Flash Back

The plane landed in Las Vegas. He slowly led the two drowsy X5's off of the aircraft. They'd been asleep for most of the trip.

"Lydecker?" Max asked as she realized who was holding her. She'd recognize his voice anywhere. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Max, I care about you. I'm trying to save you."

"Save me? From what?"

"From White. He thinks I've taken you to kill you. You can't go back to Seattle."

"But Seattle's my home. I'm leaving." Max tried to jerk out of Lydecker's grip but she was too weak. The effects of the drug weren't starting to wear off just yet. Max sighed. "Please just let me go. I feel like I'm suffocating."

"Just a minute."

Lydecker led the blindfolded X5's over to a secluded area. His grip on Max was tight.

'Those strong arms.' Max thought before she had time to stop herself. "Oh God." She said outloud.

"Okay guys. I'm leaving now. Count to ten then you can take the blindfolds off."

Alec knew what was going on with Max. He smirked and began counting down the seconds in his head.

'10.'

'This can't be happening.' Max thought.

'9.'

'Not now.'

'8.'

'And on top of all of this...'

'7.'

'...I'm, stuck with ALEC.'

'6.'

'Of all the people to get stuck with...'

'5.'

'...In a city I don't know anything about...'

'4.'

'...while I'm in heat...'

'3.'

'...it had to be him.'

'2'

'But I guess he his kind of cute...'

'1'

'...in that "I want to kick your ass kind of way."'

Alec took his blindfold off then took Max's off too.

'He'll have to do.' Max thought as she look into his eyes. As she kissed him the drug began to wear off which wasn't neccessarily good news for the X5's.

When the drug was first injected back at Jam Pony it knocked them out for a few hours and left them weak. When it began to wear off, they regained all of their strength, but also left an euphoric feeling, basically turning them into two drunk transgenics, but with Max in heat, it did much worse. It turned them into two HORNY drunk transgenics.
