I don't own DA or its characters, only the ones I have created.
Please be nice this is a story that has been in my head for YEARS and I finally decided to type up part of it.
Background: The hostage situation at Jam Pony never happened; Sketchy though knows that Max and Alec are transgenics. Still Max and Alec are helping out at TC with supplies and such, Alec is 25 and Max 24. Kris is 17
Ohh and max/alec romance will not be shown till later though they are friends now and also you see small gestures of romance! Enjoy
Max looked over at the bar, where was Alec, O.C said he was coming over.
She was sitting by herself, well Sketchy was next to her but he passed out 10 min ago.
She looked over to see Alec, and saw him with some brown haired girl hugging her and looking happy with a genuine smile not the Alecy smirk.
For some reason that stirred an emotion within her Why can't I be the one to make him smile like that, Wow where did that come from, am, am I jealous, no way, he can have any girl he wants.
Meanwhile Alec finally released her and said, "Where the hell have you been?"
He saw a flash across her face, suddenly he saw, anger, fear, and then it was gone and replaced with happiness, huh I wonder what that was about, I'll ask later.
"Me? Ohh I've been around what about you….." she said ending the sentence questionably waiting for his answer.
"Alec" he said as she raised her eyebrow and smiled," as in Smart-"Alec", a friend of mine named me when she first meet me" he said in reply to her reaction.
She smiled to herself, "She meet you for a minute and knew that? If I named you the first time I meet you it would have been ass or something" she sassed back at him.
"Oh, you wouldn't have wanted to hear her second choice" he said shocked, she reminded him a little of Max, oh crap Max most likely would want to know about …. Uh what was her name?
473 laughed at his last remark, god it was good to hear that laugh he hadn't heard for ages.
"Um what is your name?" he asked.
She put her hand out and said, "Kris. Pleased to meet you Poppy Alec?" she said using his new and old name.
He smiled at her name for him, "Hey I want you to meet someone okay?" she nodded and they both headed to the table with Max and a very drunk Sketchy.
Max watched as Alec and the girl continued to talk, wasn't she a little young for him? Great just what I need in my life, jealousy, of Alec she said laughing in disbelief.
The girl turned around, wow she'd not like the other blond bimbos, she had wavy brown hair past her shoulder, cascading across her shoulders, and back. She had caramel skin and eyes that reminded her of someone, just who? She had on tight jeans and a dark blue tank top on with a leather jacket and boots. The way she carried herself was different it was familiar. She looked, well perfect, and could see why so many guys including Alec were taking to her "charm", not that it mattered, she reminded Max of herself, but she most likely was some dumb girl looking for a guy to take her home.
Max was truly surprised when Alec and the girl began to walk, heading to her table. She was instantly jealous at the way he put his hand on her back, protective. Still she was curious, Alec wasn't one too introduce his "woman" to them.
Kris, was wondering who Alec was taking them and once they seemed to arrive at a table, with some scrawny looking passed out guy with brown hair, and a girl that was, well beautiful. She reminded Kris of herself.
She looked over at Alec wondering if this was the person he wanted her to meet, but his eyes were focused on the girl at the table with the pitcher of beer in front of her. She saw the way he looked at her and wondered if they had something going on, because it looked like Alec really liked her.
"Max, this is Kris. Kris, Max" he said introducing the two.
Kris deciding to play "nice" and not bitchy stuck her hand out "Nice to meet you", as Max replied the same.
"Hey my boos, that girl was one fine—who's 'dis?" the curly harried African lady asked pointing to her.
Kris deciding that this was a friend of Alec waved from the chair she sat in next to Alec and said "I'm Kris" and heard her reply she was O.C.
O.C seeing that she was with Alec, sat down next to the unconscious Sketchy and said
"So what's with you and pretty boy" when nodding her head in the direction of Alec.
Kris laughed at the name; Pretty boy, nice and he think Pops is bad. I gotta remember that one, instantly liking this O.C.
"Yay "pretty boy" Kris said while Alec rolled his eyes.
"Why is it you always find someone that can help you torture me?" Alec truthfully asked her.
Upon hearing this Max said," you two know each other before today I mean"
Alec realizing that he hadn't properly introduced Kris to them said, "We knew each other pretty well from Manticore"
Soon he saw the alarm in Kris's eyes and then knew that he then had to introduce the other to her. Kris was startled that he admitted to them where he was from, crap maybe he forgot and the name spilled out.
"No, no Kris see Max here is a transgenic, X-5 452, and O.C is an ordinary but she knows about us, and Sketchy there does to "he felt Kris loosen up next to him.
"I guess I shod properly introduce myself, X-5 473, otherwise known as Kris" she said
"You're an X-5?" Max said slightly surprised she assumed Kris was X-6, she seemed too young.
Alec seeing the discomfort in her, due to the upbringing of the subject that was the reason she always was out of place in the facility said, " Yay squirt here is one of a kind, she was the last X-5 made before the X-6's" he proudly said, causing Kris to slap him at his use of her name.
Suddenly Alec saw Biggs enter Crash and was going to call him over, but he knew Biggs would find him and wanted Kris to be surprised at seeing him.
Though in Manticore she had never been interactive, everyone in his unit knew her and she and Biggs were good friends, him acting like the big brother or uncle that spoiled her, while he was more the father figure to her, hence the name Pops.
Biggs saw Max, Alec, O.C, Sketchy, and some brunette at the table in the back so he headed to their table, wondering who the newcomer was.
"Hey guys" he said upon arriving at the table. And hearing a chorus of "Hey Biggs" from them all
Kris instantly knew that voice and looked up to him, her face broke out into a big smile when seeing the man that snuck in gifts for her from missions, and helping her gang up on Alec when he was annoying. Not that Alec didn't do the same but still.
Alec saw the delight on her face when seeing Biggs, though he looked slightly confused at her expression.
Kris no longer able to control herself launched herself at X-5 510, or Biggs. He was stunned at the newcomers actions but thank Renfro for his transgenic reflexes he was able to catch her before she feel, still unsure of what was going on.
Alec sat there laughing at his expression, while O.C sat there amused, and Max curious.
"God I've missed you, even more then Pops over their" Kris said once letting go of Biggs.
After her use of the nickname, he looked at Kris with wide eyes, and hearing Alec scold.
"Hey you missed him more than me? Squirt you sure know how to put a guy down," Alec said faking his hurt of his ego.
Kris just rolled her eyes at his attempt to annoy her with her name, while O.C and Max still were in the blue about well everything.
"How... When... Alec!" said Biggs trying to cover his disbelief that the girl he missed so much and knew as his baby sister, she would kill me if I called her that, was sitting down next to him.
Alec put up his hands in surrender "Hey I didn't even know where she was till 30 min ago when she walked into Crash calling me Pops, and smirking"
Biggs sat down next to Kris, "So how have you been..?" when hearing his question she replied" Kris"
"Kris, I like it" Biggs said.
O.C with Max had been watching the touching reunion and didn't want to interrupt but was confused, and decided to be the one to ask.
"So little boo, I've known you for a half an hour, an you already got Original Cindy's head spinning with question" she stated wanting answers.
Kris, Alec, and Biggs looked at her unsure of how to answer and so Kris decided to answer.
But Max interrupted.
