Chapter 8

Johnny and Max came walking out of the bedroom together laughing…

"So…I guess I've gotta go see a shrink now?" Max grimaced and looked down at her feet

"Sorry…" Johnny shook his head and laughed

"No I understand now anyway" Max smiled and lifted her head to look straight in his eyes

"No hard feelings?" Johnny's eyes widened

"Ha-ha…that's gonna be pretty down right awkward right torchie?" Alec was cracking up and patting Ben on the back

"Alec shut up" Ty pushed Alec away from Ben, and gave Ben an understanding smile

"Sorry wrong use of words" Max replied smiling gratefully at Ty

"No making fun out of a situation like this is actually gonna make it better…but I guess I had better go talk to Sue…imagine that…I'm going to go talk to my sister about why I almost slept with a younger version of her…I'm going to hell" Johnny said while slowly walking towards the Lab

"I've gotta see this" Alec was slapping his hands together with a devilish grin on his face

"No Alec…stay here" Ty grabbed Alec by the collar and firmly held him to the spot

"Awwww….Ty…that's not fair!" Alec pouted making Max smile

"I don't care Alec, go play table football or something, let Johnny speak with Sue, please" Alec's pout lifted and a knowing smile was placed there instead, Alec left with Ben, Ty turned to Max to see her looking at him funny, like she was trying to figure him out, Ty cleared his throat

"Max…shall we get the sample ready for Reed now?" this got Max's attention

"Yeah sure…come on"

later after Ty managed to get blood samples from Max he gave them to Reed who started to work on them as well as Sue, Johnny had his little talk with Sue and by the looks they were giving each other, they'd have to speak about it again…Ben was watching Alec beat Johnny at table football. Max glanced around and saw Ty walked towards the elevator, he looked deep in thought and sullen, Max didn't like the last one, no one liked seeing Ty look unhappy and torn least of all her, she needed to find out what was wrong and maybe she could figure out what was the matter with herself. Alec looked up at the last minute and saw Max follow after Ty, a small frown graced his forehead before he shook it of and continued to beat Johnny to win his 6th game in a row

Ty felt rather then heard Max follow so he held the lift for her.

"Max…why did Logan call you that?" Ty broke the silence and startled Max with the subject change

"He thought I was sleeping with you and Alec" she felt honesty was the only was to answer because of Ty's mood

"Where in the hell would he get info like that?" Ty was frowning and looked like he was about to lash out at something

"Seeing things and not actually understanding them."

"What?...what did he see?"

"Me and Alec hugging…me kissing you on the cheek while saying thanks…" Ty sighed and bit his lip, slowly shaking his head he walked out of the elevator has it dinged, Max followed behind him and linked her arm with his

"Guess he didn't hear the thanks part then huh?"

"Guess not…" Max wasn't very sure as to what Ty feels about this whole thing but has plenty of times before has shown her he always puts other before himself and he didn't let her down this time either

"You should tell Alec so he has full knowledge as to why Logan will want to kill us…"

"Yeah…you're right" Max looked at him and noticed a change, he was slightly smiling and had a playful look in his eyes

"Alec knows why you used him to push Logan away…so he'll understand"

"Yeah…anyway he's been looking at me strangely these past few days" Ty's smile widened

"I can answer that but I don't think he'll like me telling you" Max looked at him funny

"Tell me…I won't say anything" Ty looked unsure and bit his bottom lip has he silently debated with him self

"promise?" Max nodded and held one hand over her heart and another in the air, Ty noticed belatedly that the hand raised was her right, he raised an eyebrow and motioned her to sit on receptionists desk now that they were in the abandoned reception

"promise" Ty took a deep breath and decided to play things carefully

"Well…he is in two minds"

"What?" Max was confused

"He wants to do something but knows he can't"

"Just spit it out will ya" Now she was just getting annoyed

"He wants to sleep with Sue…and you….not together mind…it's driving him crazy…he's attracted to you but he can't have you because you're friends…and he can't have Sue because she's married and reminds him to much of you…complicated huh?" Max noticed that when he mentioned Alec liking Sue, his fists slightly clenched and he shifted his feet, but that was only short lived because the rest of his statement penetrated her head. Shocked, she replied

"Whoa…that's….whoa" Ty frowned and sat down on the chair in front of her

"See I shouldn't have told you"

"No it's ok…I'll pretend I didn't hear it" Max was actually happy, inside she was dancing and loving it, Alec liked her, sure she knew he found her attractive, he said so before, but to know that she was driving him sexually crazy was heaven to her, but it brought her back to her own feelings regarding Alec, finally realising that he was doing the same to her, being deep in thought none of the transgenics noticed Sue's presents until she spoke

"But I did…so Alec likes me huh?"

"Sue how long have you been there?" Max was silently cursing herself

"Not long but long enough to hear about Alec"

"You can't say anything to him…either of you ok?" Ty was looking back and forth between Max and Sue, worry stated clear on his face, Sue walked behind Ty and placed her hands on his shoulders, squeezing them lightly she leaned forward so Ty could see her face.

"Got our word" Ty smiled

"Alec's gonna kill me"

"Alec won't lay a finger on you 'cause he'd have to go through me first…" Max smiled at that, she shook her head

"Thanks Sue" Max was just about to tell them to get a room when someone did it for her

"Would you two just kiss or something…I mean you obviously like each other in that way…it's so clear, it's actually painful for most of us to see it!"

All three of them whirled round to see Ben and Johnny standing behind them smiling, Ben had drafted Johnny to help him on his little self given mission of getting Ty and Sue together, but it looked liked they were already well on their way to getting there

"Ty…Johnny's right…I do like you but it's too soon…I can't just walk into something straight away, I mean I'm still married to Reed" Sue looked crestfallen, Max jumped off the table and slapped her hands togetherlooking straight at Sue

"Sue…you don't have to go straight into a relationship with Ty…and this whole thing with Reed, it's gone Sue…go see the sights of New York…but you really do need to kiss or something…I can feel the sexual frustration coming offa you two"

Suddenly Max's cell phone rang and she sighed…Logan was calling her…she didn't tell him where'd she be or who she'd be with…Wait that would work…she could make him jealous by telling him exactly who she's with…yeah…

"Hi, Logan what's up?" barely containing her laughter has see was shaking with silent laughter

"MAX WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" this sobered her up though

"Where do you get off?" Max was pacing making Johnny sigh and sit down

"What!?"

"You're interrupting me…I'm busy…with Ty" Max smiled at Ty to show him that she was just playing with Logan

"What do you mean you're busy with Ty?"

Sue and Ty were busy tryin not to laugh at the high pitched whining they heard through the phone

"What else?"

"You're in bed with him aren't you…I knew it, you are a whore…a dirty little transgenic whore…"

Upon hearing this the mood of everyone in the reception changed dramatically…Sue was actually trying to hold Ty back but was unsuccessful as Ty managed to get the phone off Max

"Logan, you're a dead man…talk to Max like that again and I will kill you" Johnny stood up at that and looked sheepish, only Sue's smile of comfort stopped him from bolting out of the room or hiding behind Ben

"Ty…so it is true…you are with Max…"

"Well duh…I'm talking to you on Max's cell right?…you can't run Max's life for her"

"Ty…I don't care what you say…Max is mine not yours"

Now everyone that knows Max knows that Max hates it when someone treats her like their property…she was tryin really hard to restrain from throwing the phone on to the floor and smashing it with her foot…instead she took the phone off Ty and in a controlled voice she spoke to Logan

"LOGAN…I…DO…NOT…BELONG…TO…YOU…we are over…I'm with Ty now, oh and Johnny and don't forget Ben, Alec later and then Reed"

"I thought you were with just Alec?…What, you with all of them?"

Hearing that Logan wasn't getting Max's message, Sue motioned for Max to pass her the phone…

"Hi…Logan right?...I'm Susan Storm, a friend of Max's…you might want to hang up…I don't like it when people start saying bad things about good people"

"Susan Storm!?...you can't be…"

Sue put the phone down on him…she couldn't stand him

"How could you put up with that?" Sue asked with a grimace

"Logan was the first person who found out what I am…"

"oh…"

All of a sudden, Reed's voice echoed the intercom at the desk…

"SUE…MAX…EVERYONE I GOT NEWS"

Everyone raced upstairs to see Reed pace the living room with a mass of printouts in his hands, but the thing everyone saw straight away was the huge smiled across his face

"What is it Reed?"

"Sue…your Max's mother…her genetic mother" Sue stood stock still clasping onto Ty's arm in clear shock

"I knew it…I could just smell it" Ty proclaimed

"OHH MAN!!...I really have to see a shrink now" Johnny groaned

"Maybe a stint in Psy-ops would do you good?" Alec joked

"Sue is my MOM?…"

"Max is my daughter?" Max and Sue looked at each other in astonishment

"How strange would that be huh?...i mean Max only looks around 5 years younger than you…I guess you could call each other sisters…Guess Sue is officially a MILF"

"ALEC…don't talk about my mom like that…"

Max started to chase Alec all around the Baxter building until Ty grabbed Max and asked her to calm down…Max did just that and hugged Ty

"Well they've become touchy feely…" Alec frowned and snarled at that

"Alec I traced yours too…"

"Sue's not my mom too?"

"No, Johnny's your father…of sorts, it seems that when the made you the used a few of Johnny's key DNA features, so in all your made up of a few pieces of Johnny"

"WHAT!?...that's just whack" Alec shouted

"Man…I can't believe I was having sex with my niece…this is so screwed…"

"We didn't know about any of this before hand so we gotta be careful"

"Well It seems like you were right Ty…we do have a deeper bond than we realised" Sue looked deep into Ty's eyes

"My nose never lies Sue…"

"Does this mean that Max's last name is Storm…and so is mine?...Max Storm…Alec Storm…huh…cousins..."

"No Alec…a part of you is made up from Johnny…that in now way makes him your full father" Ty knew that would kill him put he also knew that it would kill Max to find out that the guy she likes turned out to be family

"Maybe your right Ty, but still…"

"Yeah maybe you're a little related to Johnny but I don't think that you're related to Max or Sue that way" he is trying his hardest to try and get Alec to see that he could still be with Max

"Does this mean that Reed is my Step Father?...What would I call Ben?...Uncle?"

"Yeah Maxie…you could call me Uncle Ben if you'd like"

Max smiled at the fact that Ben, Sue, Johnny and Reed were welcoming her with open arms and not running for their lives like most…she hugged Ben…who was clearly shocked but hugged her back…she hugged Johnny…awkwardly mind…she hugged Reed and she finally hugged Sue with all the emotions she felt towards finding her mother

Ty couldn't help the pleased smile from forming on his face until Sue and Max both rounded on him…

"You…if it weren't for you non of us would know about this…Thank you Ty"

Sue hugged Ty while Max looked on with a loving smile on her face…after Sue let go of Ty, Max walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek…Max looked at Sue and smirked making Sue blush…but her words from earlier crept into her headSue…and this whole thing with Reed, it's gone Sue go see the sights of New York…but you really do need to kiss or something…I can feel the sexual frustration coming offa you two…Max grabbed Ty and Sue dragging them out to the elevator…

"Max…what are you doing?"

"Shut up Ty, you two go out, don't come back until…well just until!" With that Max beamed a smile at them and closed the elevator doors, Ty turned around the smile sheepishly at Sue only to be met with Sue's full lips, Ty deepened the kiss making Sue moan, the only time they stopped were when the elevator stopped and someone coughed, they broke apart to look at the intruder and were met with tazers pointing at them from all angles
