Max didn't wait to see if Alec was going in to work the next day, she took vacation. She didn't know where she was going to go but she'd figure it out, she always did. Maybe she'd meet some guy, start a family like Sam did. She could only hope.
"Show me the money upfront. Hurry up!" Max sighed, no matter where she went, the dealings went on.
"Break it up boys, this is a public park. There's children at play." Max mumbled, clearly unaware of the gun under the mans waistcoat, or the fact she said 'children at play.'
"You a cop?" One of the men asked in his gruff voice, hand on a pocket knife.
"Never."
"Then no ones gonna miss you." The other man smirked, no teeth were apparent either. Both men had scruff, and both were in baggy, tattered bits of clothing. Max smiled. This should be fun.
The man raised his knife, before he could blink, the knife was the girls. She kicked him in the stomach. He flew into the clubhouse on the other side of the street. The dealer shot a bullet. Max watched as he pulled the trigger, smiled, and did a back flip over the vile piece of steel. She threw the knife, it landed in his knee. He was permanently disabled.
For weeks, the little town of Rose Park knew fear. Fear of the dark warrior, of the girl who moved faster than bullets, who was stronger than a body builder. For weeks that town was monitored by a savage warrior who stopped at nothing to enforce justice. Only did she leave when a man named White nearly caught her, but her job was not done. Rumors of a trangenic were on the loose, just like she was, but he was preventing justice. He had to be stopped.
"You've been caught. Time to give it up. You've murdered people, that's not what we're meant to do. Who are you, anyway?"
Max had been tracking down this trangenic who had killed so many. The way he did it, she wanted to cry and scream at the same time. He did it just like Ben did. Memories flooded Max, whoever this was, he would pay. They both had nearly been caught. Time for the truth.
"Max, I can't live with you, but I can't live without you." Oh god, no... Please, no....
"Alec?!?"
"Max..." His face was grim. Destiny was unfolding.
