Don't Know What You Got
Max let out a sigh as she felt his hands travel over her body followed closely by his lips leaving a trail of fire and passion in its wake. Max's eyes fluttered open to find a pair of hazel eyes looking back at her reflecting the desire she felt through every inch of her body. "Alec." Max said his name in a breathy whisper and was rewarded with a genuine smile before he proceeded to lean back down towards her. Max closed her eyes in anticipation of the feel of his lips on hers.
"Max!" Max shot up into a sitting position on the sofa and immediately began scanning the room for the threat that would have caused Logan to yell out her name like that. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary Max turned an annoyed gaze upon Logan. "What?" She asked not being able to cover up the anger at being awakened when it was the first time she had slept in over a week, thanks to all the EO missions she had been working on for him. Not to mention interrupting her oh so satisfying dream. (God knows that her dreams were the only place she was getting any sexual satisfaction these days.)
Logan sighed rubbing his temples like he was a parent getting ready to explain something to a bothersome child. "I was explaining to you about some information I got on a councilman that could lead to his dismissal, and I was asking you if you could go and get some more proof so I could do a hack about it. But you fell asleep." Logan gave her a pointed look that said he was disappointed in her. Max gritted her teeth and tried to push down the anger that threatened to rise to the surface.
"Logan, I've been doing Eyes Only stuff all week. I haven't even gotten a chance to go by TC in a couple of days to see if they're doing okay. I promised them that moving in with you wouldn't affect my duties as their leader. Plus I haven't had more than twenty minutes of sleep in the last week. I'm sorry. I just can't." Max gave him a pleading look, hoping he understood just how exhausted she was, and just how important it was to check on her family and spend some time with them as well. Not to mention that after the dream she just had, she felt an almost desperate need to see a certain X5.
Logan took his glasses off as he began to clean them and then addressed her. "Max. It's not like it's necessary for you to always be there. I mean Alec and the rest of them where trained for that sort of thing. You and I have more important work to do." Max felt her heckles rising. "Are you saying that getting food and supplies for TC isn't important?" Max ground out, trying desperately to control her anger.
"No!" Logan responded quickly, finally picking up on Max's anger and deciding back peddling was probably a good idea at this point. "I'm just saying that there are a lot of people in TC who would be able to do the same thing you would be doing. Plus now that there's that peace treaty with the government it's not as hard as it used to be. But I need you to help me Max. I mean I would do it myself, but..." Logan let his voice trail off and let his gaze fall upon his wheelchair for a moment before turning back to her. He could see the anger drain from her face almost immediately. "Besides.." Logan began realizing he needed a little something more to seal the deal. "I didn't want to tell you until I was sure but there's a chance that if we get this deal done, my informant might have some connections we could use to find some of your siblings." Logan chanced a look at Max and felt a wave of relief at the gratitude that filled Max's eyes all of the sudden.
Max felt almost euphoric at the thought that Logan might have a lead on her family, but as she remembered the thoughts she was having earlier about Alec she felt awfully guilty. As she met Logan's gaze she berated herself for letting her desires come ahead of her and Logan. "I'm sorry. You're right Logan. How about I do this job for you and then go to TC after?" Even though he would prefer her to stay far away from TC and a certain hazel eyed transgenic, he knew he couldn't push her that far yet. Maybe it was time for him to actually use some of the information he had on her sibling's location and bring a few of them to Seattle. After all if they were here maybe she would stop with this consent need she had to be around the transgenics in TC especially Alec. He gave her a small smile. "I think that's a great idea."

Original Cindy grumbled as she tightened the sash on her robe and made her way towards her front door, ready to rip the person who was pounding on the door limb from limb. "Someone better be dying for you to be poundin on my door on Saturday morning!" Cindy yelled out as she made her way to the door. Any further insults died on her tongue as she swung open the door to reveal a very delicious sight. "Damn Boo. If I'd known there was a fine ass licktey chick like you a knokin at my door, I wouldn't have taken my sweet ass time." Ari couldn't help raising her eyebrow in response to the forward woman. "Original Cindy I presume?"
"The one and only. And who might you be?" Cindy replied. Ari held out her hand. "Names Ari. Otherwise known as 432. I'm a friend of Alec's." Cindy shook the X5's hand. "Well any friend of my baby boo is a friend of mine. But what brings you to Original Cindy's door so early this fine morning?" Ari winced. "Yeah sorry about that, but military training is a bitch to try and get rid of. And I sort of had something important to discuss with you." It was Cindy's turn to raise her eyebrows in surprise. What in the world would this X 5 need to discuss with her. Ari could see Cindy was trying to figure out what in the world they would have to talk about. "It's about Max." As fun as this banter with Cindy was Ari was getting restless. Ari watched as Cindy's eyes changed from confusion to realization. Cindy stepped back from the door allowing Ari to enter. "Well come on in. I'll make some coffee. Original Cindy thinks she's gonna be needin it."

"So that's your plan to get my boo and hot boy together." Cindy asked handing Ari a cup of coffee and taking a seat on the stool opposite her at the kitchen counter. Ari nodded her head in conformation. "You know as well as I do Cindy that Max needs a wakeup call." Cindy nodded her head reluctantly in agreement. "So you gonna pretend to be hot boy's new one and only." Ari nodded. "You sure you not after Alec and just usin this as a way to get your claws into him?" Cindy questioned suspiciously. Ari's expression turned into a mixture of horror and disgust. "EW! That is so not funny. Alec's my best friend and I love him, but as a brother!"
"Just checkin' boo. You know I gotta have my girls back and make sure there aint no ulterior motives a foot." Cindy said as she laughed at the genuine look of horror still present on Ari's face. Ari smiled back at Cindy understanding perfectly well the protective feelings Cindy had for Max. "I get it. I feel the same way about Alec. That's why I need to make sure..." Ari trailed off not sure how to question Cindy without getting her upset. Cindy put her hand over Ari's. "What is it?" Cindy asked softly noticing the change in direction of the conversation to something much more serious.
Ari let out a sigh. "I know Alec is convinced Max loves him, but I need to be sure she is. And if she is I need to know why in the world she would give him up for the ordinary. I know Alec said something about her feeling guilty for him being paralysed, but I can't understand how she could give up the man she loves." There was a small undercurrent of anger in Ari's voice that Cindy decided to push aside for now. "If there's anything in this world I'm sure of, it's the fact that Max loves Alec."Cindy let Ari take in her words before she continued. "As for roller boy." Cindy's lips thinned out as she pressed them together. "That man is a pricky, creepy, manipulative, using, jerk-of-the-world, who needs-to-be-kicked-repeatedly-in-several-vulnerable-areas-and-then-shot-in-the-head TWICE." Cindy let out in a huff.
Ari laughed. "So I take it you're not a fan of the great Eyes Only." Cindy snorted. "Puh-lease. If it weren't for my boo and hot boy there would be no Eyes Only. And between you and me Original Cindy don't trust that pansy ass white boy. I know he's not on the up and up with my boo."
Ari gave Cindy curious look. "Haven't you ever shared this opinion with Max?" Cindy sighed picking up her coffee cup and taking a sip. "When it comes to Logan Max has a serious case of hero worship goin on. He's got her stretched so thin emotionally I don't know half the time if the feelings she's having are her own or the one's she thinks Logan thinks she should be having. Logan was the first person who knew she was a transgenic and as she puts it accepted her. Unfortunately what she seems to fail to see is since day one he's done nothing but use her for her abilities and try and mould her into his idea of what she should be."
Ari let the anger she had been feeling towards Max drain out of her. It was understandable after all. Max had spent so many years on the outside trying to hide who and what she was; it had probably been a great relief for her to finally share who she was. Unfortunately for Max that person had turned out to be Logan Cale.
Cindy turned back to Ari. "So, when are we putting this plan of yours into action?" Ari smiled at Cindy. "Well I hear Max is coming into TC today, there's no time like the present." Cindy smiled back at Ari. "You know what boo, I think this is the beginning of a very beautiful friendship."
