Authors Note; Okay first off I wanna say that the joke about the transgenic in the bar with the familiar was something that I pretty much thought was... lame, lol, that was sort of what I was aiming for but guess I was wrong! I also thought that it would seem weird so knowing now that you guys enjoyed it makes me feel really good :) So thanks lol :) Glad I could make you laugh even, cuz I gotta tell you, when I re-read the joke some days later I laughed too xD …. Is that bad? lol

The Awakening
Max felt safe, warm and peaceful. No thought of anything penetrated her mind and she hoped to whoever could hear her that she was actually safe and that her happiness was showing too, but if she was behind bars in some laboratory, she was so dead! Coma was a tricky thing and.. A transgenic and a familiar drinking together?! What the?!
She frowned at the images that sentence brought to her, was someone trying to tell her that they were now NOT fighting the familiars, but actually drinking together?! That thought made her want to die rather to wake up to something so weird as that.
"Yeah, I guess I suck at telling jokes, I mean.. What was funny about it?"
She frowned but also felt relief spread throughout her body. Wait.. it was a joke? Gotta be Alec, what an ass! Every sound she heard was distant and the only thing she could be sure of was if it was male or female speaking and right now, it sure was a male. Actually when she thought about it, there hardly were any females around, most of the time it was a single male.
"You'll pull through this, right Maxie?"
Oh yeah, that was definitely Alec! How many punches to the back of his head does it take to make him understand that I don't wanna be called Maxie?? Not that she'd ever admit it but if she could, she would've smiled affectionately at the irony, because here she was in a coma and who was giving her comfort, looking out for her? Not Logan, but Alec, the screw-up! But he hasn't been a screw-up for a while now, has he? How long had she been in a coma anyways? It's not like he could change that much because of her... In a coma? Right?
"I'm so tired, Alec."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"I'm so tired, Alec."
Whoa! Who would've thought that Max would actually answer his question!? Alec tried to turn their positions a little bit so that he could get a better look at her, had she actually spoken or had he gone mad after all this time spent watching her silently?
"Maxie? You awake?"
"Do.. ca.. me.. ma'ie"
"Good enough."
He reached for the phone he always carried and always made sure had enough batteries should this moment come, because he never doubted it would and dialed Gem. She had taken it upon herself to take care of Max as much as Alec would allow, which pretty much was everything he wasn't allowed to do, such as giving her a sponge bath. As if he was gonna take a peak.
Okay, maybe a little, but that was besides the point, after all. He was a guy and Max was hot!
"Gem? Guess what? Yeah, she is, but she's pretty slow on the speaking part."
"..."
"There's no one around and I won't leave her."
"..."
"I know that! But the toilet is like across the hall and I won't go, you hear me!"
"..."
"Well get Joshua to bring water, I'm sure he'll wanna see her ASAP."
"..."
"Good, thanks Gem and hurry, okay?"
Max started to stir a bit more and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not, the color of her skin had yet to return, still looking sickly gray and he could feel sweat covering the little skin he touched, she was going into fever and hopefully the good kind.
Before he could let his mind drift to dangerous territory, Joshua burst into the room with his arms full of bottles of water, even carrying a bag of crackers.
"Little Fella awake?"
"Seems like it, but she's still pretty out of it, hand me a bottle, would ya?"
Joshua put all the stuff down by the foot of the bed and then got Alec a bottle, the bag of crackers was placed close for him to reach.
"Little Fella probably hungry, but to tired to eat real food."
"Smart thinking, Josh, I didn't even think about that."
"Medium Fella tired too, should drink and eat too."
But Alec ignored him as he tried to unscrew the bottle without spilling anything on Max, after failing too many times, he simply bit down on the bottle cap and twisted his hand, then spit the cap on to the floor.
"These things shouldn't be so hard to open."
"Told you, tired and hungry too. You're weak."
"Guess you're right, Joshua. Wanna help me twist her body a little bit? So that I can give her water easier?"
"Sure."
Together they turned Max back onto her back, Alec's arm was, again, used as a pillow to make sure that no water got stuck in her throat. It unnerved him how limp her body was, easily following whatever they did to her. She would've been unable to defend herself if she had been caught by someone not so friendly.
Don't go there buddy, she's here and she's safe and she's waking up... I think.
"Okay, Maxie, I'm gonna give you some water, you hear me?"
There was no reply and he looked at Joshua, both had the same look on their faces; pure panic.
"Alright, lets do this, hopefully she won't choke.. "
"Not funny, Medium Fella."
"Yeah, I know."
He gently put the bottle to her lips and was happy to see that she opened them a little bit. One small opening for water, one giant step for survival. He grinned as he saw how the water touched her lips, some of it escaping and trickle down her checks. Normally he would've followed its path and pray it would end up between her chest, but right now he was too occupied to notice. She was drinking water, damn it!
Max was awake and Alec was there when it happened.

Authors Note #2; Max is awake! Yay! I hadn't planned on her waking up when Alec was around, I was gonna do it like Alec went away to grab a shower or something and Logan decided to visit her only to see her wake up and take all the credit for being there or whatever, you know, being All Mighty Logan... But... I wrote this instead.
I'll hand out reviews for cookies! Oh! I mean cookies for reviews! :) ...They're soooo addictive *puppy eyes*
