recicup: I really like the language trip, you just have to write it the right way. Unfortunately ones that aren't well written aren't easy to follow. As for the fight scene, I enjoy writing those. I like to be able to visualize it as if it were in real time and not just words.

Sey77: thank you.

Thank you all once more! Please read and review.

Season 5 ep.16

Max POV

I arrived home later than anticipated. After my fight with the X5 I ended up playing escape and evade with the sector cops till I found my sector pass. Somewhere along the lines it slipped from my person as did my cell phone. The phone I had picked up, garbage. Shouldn't surprise me though, being in the scuffle it was bound to get stepped on or trashed.

Alec was on the couch, a pair of jeans, socks and a t shirt covered him, "Your late." He said, the remote to the t.v. in his hands, his eyes waiting for my explanation, "The X5 ran after sector cops came nearby, but not before she trashed my phone." I show him the remains, "She fought you didn't she?" he near questioned, "Don't bother rubbing it in." if he did he was really getting the couch tonight.

"Watch some t.v. with me." he stated, trying to sound commanding but at the last minute it came out sounding like a plea.

"Let me change…" I went to smell the cloths, "ON second thought let me shower, I still smell like the trash from the alley we were in." I cringe in disgust. I walk to our room, grabbing the t shirt I had planned for tonight and some cotton panties. Tonight as all about simplicity, and forgiveness. "Girls are asleep." He told me as I left out of our room to the bathroom. After a nice hot 20 minute shower I felt refreshed.

I didn't bother putting a bra back on, letting only the white t shirt of his cover me and the panties, my hair still wet from the shower I brushed it out and gave it a slight dry off so it wouldn't soak the couch. It was only enough to soak the shirt I was wearing.

Walking out, not bothering to put socks on I walk over to the couch where Alec is, "You into what you're watching?" I asked, evasively.

He had done his best to keep his eye glued to the t.v. not wanting to react to me coming out. "Not really." He looked to me and the remote dropped. "I've been thinking this last day…" I say smoothly to him, walking forward with the ease of a tiger.

His eyes drinking me in with love and passion, "Yeah…? What about?" he asked his breathing hitching a bit. I walk right in front of him, his eyes looking me over, "Perhaps make up sex would be a good idea." He nodded dumbly, his hands clenching and un-clenching with the need to touch me. I smiled at it. "Now since we've never truly had make up sex before and I've never had it with anyone prior to you before your gonna have to teach me a little."

My words making his eyes widen and I could smell the tell-tale of how aroused my words made him. "Come here then." He commanded in a low tone. I stepped forward and his hands came forward, his eyes on mine the whole time as he slow crept them up along my thighs, rubbed them back and forth till his fingers hooked behind my knees and pulled me forward to sitting in his lap, "First off we need to get rid of the space between us." He commented, his voice dropping an octave lower.

His hands now grazing up and down the sides of his shirt on me, "Maxie…" he rubbed his head into my chest, knowing I was putting his scent on me even before he himself could, "I love it when you wear my shirts like this….so damned sexy." He kissed my nipples through the shirt and felt them pucker beneath before spotting them through the fabric, "I think secondly, no secondly…" I giggled at his brain fart having had seen my nipples poke out.

The need to have his mouth near them making them beg for his touch again, "Secondly…" he looked back up into my eyes, trying to stay focused on speaking, "Secondly we let our bodies guide us." I told him, my words assuring and sultry.

He smiled and nodded like a fool. His hands running up and down the length of my sides repeatedly until finally he started to lift the shirt up a little bit. Just enough to get his hands under and play with the skin beneath. He looks up to me, the simplicity of the intimacy makes my heart pound an extra beat.

"Alec…" my voice has love, passion and need in it. For a moment he rises completely off the couch, hands on my hips where the shirt nearly ends. I gain my grounding and stand with him. I feel my feet against the floor. Barely touching his sock covered feet. His sudden height makes me feel like submitting to him. I look up and see the tender love for me in them. How he's unwilling to move further without me there with him. Hundreds of times we've made love, had sex, fucked…this level is new for us.

I think we were at soul mate level…

"Max…my Maxie…" he utters, going to kiss me, fully intending on his mission, but I have my own. I push him back down to the couch and take up my former place in his lap. He accepts it without missing a beat. His mouth decidedly attached itself to each breast, sucking on them through the fabric of the shirt. I whimpered at the feeling.

His hands caressing me more firmly around my waist as he held me close to him. It wasn't till both breasts were taken care of that he finally pulled the shirt over my head revealing nothing more than the cotton panties I was sporting. He took one look and cursed before nearly crushing me to his body, his mouth suckling on my breast, giving it a tried and true hicky. I smiled at the slightly rougher ministrations.

Both his arms crossed behind my back were tight for a while as I held him close as well. He then switched to the other breast giving it the same treatment. I let him have his lust filled needs as I knew this would play into it.

Finally having had his fill as they were now covered with his saliva and sporting different colors from his hickies, he left a hot wet trail up the center of my chest before coming to a stop. He made to move me further beneath him when I halted his progress, "Off." I pulled off his own shirt with the same pace as he did with the one that I wore.

He threw the shirt off into a corner, uncaring of its landing and soon went back to caressing every inch of my skin available, kissing whatever was in reach, my breasts, my nipples, the undersides of them, it was all done with such tenderness it made my heart skip several beats. I gasped and gripped his head by the hair and guided him where I wanted him but he refused to budge, content with where he was, "Alec." I warned.

"Trust me Maxie…" his right hand slipped below, teasing the skin above my panties before slipping to the side of my thigh and gliding under the fabric to tease the tender, aroused flesh beneath. "Oh god…" I bit out, feeling his hands caressing my center tenderly, as if the slightest increase in motion would send me over quicker than what he wanted. But damn it I wanted more, "IF you don't…" I warned again.

His thumb pressed down as his index pressed up making me spiral over the edge faster than I thought possible. It was a shock to my system, one minute I'm building and the next I crash head long into it. "Your breasts are really sensitive, when combined with others, it's all the build-up you need." He explained.

My hands caress his chest in a tender stroking motion, he remains passive wanting to savor the feeling. I lean down and press kisses along his jaw line, then trail them down his chest, earning a choked groan when I reach his left nipple. I caress it with a gentle motion before doing the same thing to his right one. However unfortunate, with me in his lap I cannot suck him down my throat but there are other ways.

Slipping my hand down I gently undo the button on his pants before un-zipping them. The sound loud in the living room. I can tell he is struggling with need as I know he wants to tear his pants off and give me what I want but this is not about speed this is about sensation, making up. He knows it to.

Once he's un-zipped I slip my hand down his pant, past his boxers and get a firm grip onto his member. He hunches over a little bit, holding onto me as my hand slowly pumps him up and down, a teasing, swaying motion that drives him nuts with pent up sexual need. But at the same time he feels the motions of gentleness, something that speaks of the passion within. He barely manages to calm himself down, wanting to savor the hand job I was giving him.

"Maxie…please…" he begs, his member hard as a rock and the head oozing pre-cum out already. I smiled and pulled him to me, shifting my center closer over his member. I shove him back so he can see what I'm doing as I pull away the side of my cotton panties and slowly lower myself over his aching member.

Maintaining eye contact the entire time as his heart rate starts to increase. I struggle to keep myself from slamming onto him. Half way down his hands go to my panties as he attempts to pull them down and off my butt. Eyes still making contact.

"Off…" he mutters a bit late. His brain only feeling and thinking of the growing need to get us both off. I gently slap the side of his thigh connecting to his own butt to halt his hands. He looks to me in slight shock, even as I know I saw pleasure flash through his eyes at the contact before I fully seat myself on him. He gives a guttural groan as he lifts himself back up and wraps his arms tightly around me.

His head nestled on my chest his tongue dipping out to coat my breasts again wherever he could touch them, as he gently lifted his hips to move himself up with in me. I gently move my own back down and up over his to maintain rhythm as we slowly gain more momentum to get to that crescendo. For a small period of time I felt him take control, guiding me over him as I bent backwards, his hands holding me keeping me seated on him.

"Feel me baby…feel him caressing your inner muscles…" he groaned, voice low and seductive as he talked about his hard cock sending the sensations it was to my muscles. A hint of a growl in it. I bend over backwards, feeling him hit a different angle. It's sharper. "Oh god! Alec!" I whimper. I felt his other hand travel over my stomach, between my breasts. He tweek's each nipple when he travels over them.

At one point I feel his lips and tongue leave wet trails on my stomach. The sensation endearing and sweet as he covered various proportions of me. I looked down even as he was still guiding me onto him and saw his head bent over, saw his tongue licking me, worshipping me even. It brought a tear to my eyes. "I want to feel you." I mutter, launching myself back up, our faces kissably close.

His one hand leaves my hip to gently thread through my hair, holding me in place as he looked me over with such love. Conveying what his voice couldn't at the moment.

Alec POV

The moment she came into the living room I knew something was up, I just didn't know what. I knew…then she started this up and all I could think of was, tell me what to do and I'll do it. I'll worship you any way you want just let me touch you. She saw my need, my raw desire and gave in. I was oh so happy and grateful.

I couldn't believe how wonderful she had made this out of a situation and clothing wise so simple. I loved it. When she bent over I couldn't help but eat up the sight of her. I felt myself harden up in her even more so. When I kissed every inch of skin on her stomach I felt like I had everything I could possibly want in my life and I knew I had it. I had my mate to feast on, while our two beautiful daughters slept in bed, I was one very happy and content mate.

I caressed her body and I swear that no matter what I still get awed by her raw beauty. Whether she's giggling, yelling, kicking ass, mothering our daughters, or making love with me, she's the most stunning sight to me. To me she's perfect and I can only be grateful that she saw past how much of a cocky asshole I was and saw that I was just hiding same as everyone else. She saw that, no one else.

I thought to myself….for the rest of our lives I will worship you and your body…I wanted her so badly it was like my inner cat cried out for more of her taste. Before she looked up, with all the sensations going on I don't think she felt my hand momentarily dipping down to gather some of her fluid on my fingers before bringing them back up and sucking them thoroughly.

As much as I wanted more I could feel the unmistakable sensation of her clenching muscles around my engorged member. God she had me on the brink of losing what little control I had left. I was hanging on by a thread…like it was a life line to keep from pounding into her like there was no tomorrow. I wanted to feel this same as her, but our bodies were to full of passion to keep this up for extended amounts of time.

Max POV

I can feel the orgasm coming as the pace starts to move a hair faster. Despite the glacial pace we were at, the need to feel one another, we craved the need for more.

I could feel my orgasm nearly upon me and his to, the tell-tale signs of it were coming but he was holding off, "Come with me." I managed to utter in a voice that dripped of sex. His eyes met my own.

We were both desperate for more, "I love you." His voice was full of love, lust and a driving need that only I could sate. I nodded my head to give permission, my body dying for the conclusion now as well.

"I love you to." My voice near breaks as he hauls himself from his position and turns around so that I'm on the bottom. His lips sear my own as he only gives two more gentle thrusts, his hands holding my head and threading through my hair now to kiss me gently even if only for a little while longer. I give in and arch my neck giving him the kisses we both desire and want. "Alec." I utter, wanting to feel him in all of his strength.

The time for gentleness gone, the time for releasing all the passion we had built up, now. He gave one more gentle thrust, before giving in and slamming himself up within me as fast and as hard as his transgenic body would let him so far into the moment.

I gasped in need and scratched at his back as he plowed in me only half a dozen times before I flew over the edge, my scream muffled by his shoulder as I bit into it, renewing my bite mark. In his own pulsating release, he did the same thing with my shoulder. I could feel a tinge of skin breaking as I briefly tasted a droplet of blood myself. Our bodies calming from the shock we put them through. I could still feel my toes tinge form the aftershocks as we laid there basking in the warmth provided.

It took us a few moments to regain our breathing, "Should I ask?" he questioned, "Your in bed tonight as long as you carry me there." I breathed out, my legs not wanting to obey any commands right now. He smiled and 30 seconds later removed himself from me and carried me into our room. Laying me down he shucked off his pants having forgotten they were still partially on his butt.

Only seeing his boxers on I felt more strength and raised myself from bed, panties still on as I crawled in front of him to the edge of the bed. My cat like grace calling out to his own inner cat, "You know, if you really want these panties off…." I grin, a hand reaching down to touch them before dipping a finger in to caress the surrounding area, "You're going to have to remove them yourself." It was a challenge he knew.

The smirk he had darkening his features told me of the many ways he was coming up with to do so. "Oh darlin', there are so many ways…" he warned, his predatory cat wanting to come out and play with his mate. Make up sex apparently had different variations.

Alec POV

I saw her pose on the bed and swore my inner cat growled in approval. Her breasts swayed, still aroused and puckered from my ministrations from before while her hair was now mussed up, her cheeks glowing, legs spread beneath her, her panties somehow had managed to stay on through our ordeal out there. Her lips, looked thoroughly kissed yet they begged for more even as she bit at them. Lastly her eyes, wanting more of what only I could offer her.

All in all her entire look making her appearance like that of a literal sex kitten. I would make her beg for mercy of orgasm by the end of the night, or at the very least hoped that we didn't wake the girls by the end of the night.

She leaned forward, an enticement. I lunged for her, she ducked and dodged me but I wouldn't relent, and I certainly wouldn't let her off the bed. I finally managed to pin her under me, our inner cats fighting for supremacy, though hers was more or less struggling beneath me. I laughed before smirking and held her down with ease. "Give up yet?" I asked. She went to hit me and I grabbed both hands, pinned both over her head.

She defied me but it merely turned me on. My one hand reached down and in a single fluid movement ripped the cotton panties from her form. She gasped. I smelt her scent getting stronger from the action, "You want me? Want my cum?" I demanded, pinning her legs to the bed with my own, though I doubt I needed to now.

"Need you." She whimpered, her body sending out waves of arousal, taunting my inner cat for more. "Need what?" I bent forward, right next to her left ear, nibbling on it, my breath hot on her skin, as my hand – not the one hold her hands but the other one – slid into her hair and got a decent yet smooth grip before growling, "I wanna hear you say it." she bucked up at me I response, "Want your cum." She muttered out.

She almost sounded delirious with need, "Whatever you want…" I stated smoothly, before aligning myself to ram into her tight, moist heat. I wondered if I would ever grow tired of this. I doubted it. I mean it's like a fucking wonderland every time I'm in side of her. Her muscles grip me like a vice and I know that in the end, I'll never tire of her. How can you tire of what you love more than anything? Of what makes you want to live? Breathe?

"Alec?" she begs, needs me to move.

Who am I to deny my mate? My Max? I begin gently easing back only to slam forward in hard punishing strokes. A punishment perhaps for denying me even though she was just making me work for it.

The strokes and positioning had me able to push her through another orgasm, the intensity had both of us slightly dazed, before I slipped out. I barely contained myself from coming on that last one. "Alec…where are you going?" she saw my movement away from her before I flipped her over onto her stomach.

She made to get on her knees but I pulled her back from doing so. Now I knew she was a tad confused. "Something new Maxie…" I caressed her backside, loving the feel of her soft skin beneath my fingers and palms. I then caressed her ass. Her perfectly shaped ass that had me leaning down and kissing it, before trailing soft kisses up her back. My one hand gripped her hip to keep her in place as my other one left her back to play with her nether lips. She arched at the touch, her center still sensitive.

"Good." I murmured. With her legs back behind even me, I slipped into her hot, tight, moist center, slowly. I wanted to savor this feeling. I felt up and down her sides, and back side with my hands before bending over and once more bestowing kisses on her back. Sitting my on my own heels I felt her adjust herself, propping herself up on her elbows since the sensation of my knees in her stomach might not be so pleasant.

I began to move smoothly in and out, enjoying this new angle. Her butt perked up, wanting to feel everything I was offering her. "Alec!" she begged, my staying still was teasing the hell out of her I knew. "You sure?" I had a feeling we were both going to need something use as a gag right now. Her previous scream had been soundless but now…she grabbed the sheet beneath her, shoving it in her mouth as I looked frantically at the nightstands for something to grab.

Not seeing anything I figured my gag would just be the back of her neck. Wouldn't be the first time…nor the last. I began giving her short yet hard jerks, angling myself just right from this position before seeing her arch once more, my inner cat had had enough of her bodies un knowing teasing.

Bending over my hands took each hip before plowing into her with the force of a matador. I heard her cry into the sheet, the side of her face was etched in bliss. I kept going, not wanting to stop or frankly even able to stop, the pleasure was to intense. "Oh Max!" I went faster the position hotter than I thought it would be as it was raising some instincts that usually only come out when in the need to mate during heat.

My hands briefly left her hips to slap down on her ass, the shock of it making her clench tighter around me in pleasure. I grit my teeth in agonizing pleasure, giving her a few more slaps before I felt myself getting close to the brink. Easing off I returned my hands to her hips, needing to try and make this last a little bit longer.

I couldn't believe how tightly her muscles were clenching about me. "Fu – oh god!" I moaned, "Feel's like a vice grip is on me!" I couldn't help it as I lost all sense of control and repeatedly slammed into her over and over again. I was so lost in the pleasure that I was barely keeping my loud moans in to prevent our girls from hearing it.

At this point Max sounded like she was about to hyperventilate, her breaths getting short, her body building up to a consuming climax as mine was. Feeling her body start to convulse I saw her back arching one last time, her head turning to the left, her face telling of the bliss I was giving her. I wanted more. Falling forward, I looped my arms around her chest and waist from beneath, give her short but hard rams to her already shaking body, my face next to hers as my head was on her shoulder.

The strokes were now bordering on brutal, I feared now that I might be hurting her with them as I felt like I had no control. But instead she reached behind us both and pulled at my own butt for more. I growled low in my throat, almost as if she had elicited a primal animal. I gripped her tightly and repeatedly shucked her tight wet heat on my aching member as if nothing else mattered in the world.

I felt her clamp on me in an unmistakable grip before I buried my teeth into the back of her neck, right beneath her barcode. She bit deeply into the sheets, tearing them even as I tasted a tinge of her blood. She pulsed around me. It triggered my orgasm, the intensity was astounding and even more so was when I felt a new bout of tremors as she climaxed again.

I kept pumping into her, not wanting or caring to stop as she continually shook beneath me. Once her body started to calm down I gently slipped from her, but only to gradually turn her bodily around. Her form still shaking from the intensity of her orgasms. I went to touch her face, cupping her tenderly when I saw how even I was shaking. We both smiled, "You're everything to me Max…" I brushed our lips together before bestowing little kisses and tender nips along her neck line.

It was all I felt I could do. We had seriously wiped on another out with that last bout. "What was that three rounds?" I asked, kissing her collar bone. "I think so…." She breathed, "Sleep." I murmured, kissing back up her body again. Her hand gripped my head and pulled me in for a loving kiss, her tongue dipping in and making love to my mouth before licking my lips, "As long as you stay where you are okay."

I smiled in agreement and settled my body partially over hers, my arms firmly wrapped about her waist as we slowly drifted to sleep. Even if it was only for an hour or two. It would be all that was needed till round four. TC could talk to Daniel and Cece, right now was some much earned time with Max.

Max POV

After we were done with one another, the next morning we got up and headed to HQ. Wonders of what would happen today since White's plan didn't work. "Hey Dix, anything new?" I asked walking up the steps, Alec's arm guiding me up. At the moment it was more of an excuse to have his hands on me than anything. Retaining the physical contact after such explosive make up sex it was needed.

"Nope, if anything it's been really quiet. Ross's base has dispersed except for an insurrection group of soldiers." I frowned, "What?"

"Yeah, I saw their body heat signatures. There's still 100 or so left. Ross had a good 200 transgenics there." Dix informed us.

"So why are they staying, their masters dead?" I questioned. Dix replied, "They might not have anywhere to go." I nodded, "Or someone's keepin' 'em there." Alec supplied. I looked to him, "Lane's there remember. He could be trying to be big man on campus and his goon's are doing his dirty work for him." I sigh at his words, "Great. We take away White's trump card and leave them in Lane's care." I spat.

I think long and hard on my next course of action with it, "Maybe...I could go over there now...with back up. I know how Lane's guys work now, I can take 'em on in a fight...with back up." I saw Alec's direct look of 'not without back up'. As much as I disliked the need for help since I had been solo for so long in the field, I'd need it for Lane's group. Too many transgenics versus one.

"I'll go with you, the base isn't to far from here and I know Lane's back ground and defensive capabilities better than you." it sounded close to a dig but he was right...a little bit, "Tell Daniel and Cece they've got watch on the place till were back. We'll take a few others with us for back up." Dix nodded. Alec and I began walking out, "You think he'll budge on letting others go?" I asked him.

"Not a chance. Bright side..." he started, I looked, "What?"

"I'm gonna hand him his ass if he starts something up." I roll my eyes, "Male pride." I respond, "No, alpha male pride." I laughed at his smirk.

"Let's grab Mole and Krit." I advise. His hand touches my hand in a stopping motion, "We might need Joshua to." my eyes widened, "He's been training in fighting with Mole for a few months, he's already scary in size to the average X series, well other than the transhumans. He's abnormally stronger than even an X5. He's been learning control with it so he can avoid hurting anyone." he tried.

I was shocked, "Are you nuts? Joshua's a gentle soul, and unless his family was being threatened he'd never hurt anyone. I wouldn't want him to be a part of that - " he cut me off, "This is necessary, plus he'll mostly be there for show, not growl." he smirked.

"Not helping." I near whined. I bit my lip in thought wondering if he was right to have Joshua along when we heard, "Joshua want to go to. Need to get out." we both looked back to see him. Dressing a bit better than when I first met him he was finally managing to find clothes that fit him right and didn't have too many tears in them, "Joshua want to go help. Bring in more X5's." he said.

"Max you know he can handle himself. He did at the JP siege." Alec cajoled, "I know that but this is multiple X5's. I just..." I looked to Joshua's sullen face, "If you get a broken bone no whining." I guess the big guy needed to get out every now and then. He smiled, "Joshua will help." I kept walking. I knew Joshua was capable of a lot but I just knew that if Lane sent his goon's on us they might be in to many numbers to take down.

Checking my bike once in the garage I made sure the tank was good for there and back before mounting her. I watched Alec mount his as Joshua hopped in the van with Mole and Krit following behind him.

With all the buildings we were busy converting for living spaces I knew we'd be able to fit at least another 50-75 people. It was just a matter of them filling it full of furniture. The project had been ongoing for a while now and we hadn't heard much of it in months. The X5's wanted to get sounder proofing while the transhumans were fighting over control of AC and heat. We figured we could renovate those buildings for it since the ones in use would take twice as long with the residents within.

Revving the engine up we speed out of TC and towards the recently departed Ross's base.

Less than two hours later we find it half empty and with hardly any security units out on patrols, I didn't like this. Dismounting the bikes and with the guys stepping from the van we walked up into the place. The guards looking at us but doing nothing. "This is odd." I don't recall him being this laid back the last time..." I remark. Alec held my hand as if to hold me back, "He's usually not...something's wrong here." Alec commented.

"Like he's being over thrown wrong or they are expecting us wrong?" I asked, "Not sure...be ready...just in incase." he tapped my side as an indication to have my own weapons ready...i.e...Me. I didn't see the need to bring along my knives so I wondered why Alec thought to signal...then I saw it. His Glock was concealed in the waistband of him jeans. "Don't you think the guns a bit much?" I asked.

"Not with Lane it's not." I arched a brow at him, "Or you're lookin' for an excuse to cap his ass." I mutter. He looks to me but thinks better of his response. Instead we walk further inside and breach the doors to the compound. Halls are near empty. It's an odd feeling, "This doesn't feel right." I iterate. I get into a defensive position just in case. "Could have told you that when we were able to walk through the front doors." Alec's sarcasm had me narrowing my eyes at him momentarily. "Just focus." I barked. "I am." he simply stated back.

Finally we came upon the control room we had entered once before. Taking a look around we found that the remaining X5's seemed to be watching a verbal fight between Lane and another X5. We were wondering if it would come to blows, while the few X6's there were being held captive by a few X7's armed with Tasers. "Not exactly the family reunion I was hoping for." I sighed. I noticed the look on Alec's face.

It was one of slight understanding, "I don't think it ever will be." he remarked.

Leaving out we go to the area where the X7's are holding the kids. Figuring to see if they could be neutralized, in a polite manner of not killing but of subduing. "Hey!" I shout out. The X7's prepare to fight and among them I see my clone. Looking at me a bit oddly. Does she recognize me? "Do you know who I am?" the same words I had said her years ago came back. Hopefully this time a bullet wouldn't follow. She merely stood her ground, "I'm the X5 you were cloned from." I tell her. She looks me up and down in a calculating form.

It was a size up, to see if I was telling the truth. Seeing I was she looked a tad confused as to what to do with me there. Capture, kill, let go. "We're here to get you out from under La - X5 - 600's command."

However like a snake in the grass a young woman popped out from the shadows. Her form lithe and dancer like as she slunk her odd movement body over near Alec, "We know what's happened." her voice was on a near slither, "No offense but I thought Ross only wanted X series, not transhuman?" now that she was in the light I could see her more chameleon like features. She could slink about like a snake in the darkness when needed. It was a tad creepy.

"You're a cutie one." she motioned to Alec. Her eyes an odd mixture of colors that I could tell could nearly hypnotize you the way Mia's look could...when she wanted to. "I'm with her." He thumbed over to me, his eyes a bit lost for a moment.

She had some snake in her that was for sure. Like the ones that catch you in a gaze before they strike. In her case she was using to gain anything she felt was useful before striking, "So Ross used you to be his 'snake charming chameleon'" I said. It broke her focus, "Yes, but then he was killed and Lane took his place. His remaining SIC's have been fighting for the position even though Lane has already taken control." I look to Alec.

"Lane can have the damned base for all I care, I just want to X series and transhumans that want to be free from him to be released." I bargain. If anything I can just have one of our tech's disable anything that can do major damage to any outside area. I don't need Lane's need to be controlling to ruin what we spent years to build. I don't feel like trading one evil for another.

"Sorry but since all I do is hang around..." her whole body and voice slithered around Alec, making him subsequently back up and stand his ground to the weird transhuman. I have no standing with anyone. I traded one boss for another. I have no way of saying yes or no." I grimaced, "You don't have to say anything. We'll take the kids here and leave off, no one has to be the wiser." I explained.

Her tongue came out to lick her lips, as if she were trying to entice Alec, "Not what we were trained for." She replied.

He turned his head at her nearly hissing her next words in his ear, even though I could still hear it, "You would be wise to run while you can..." I went to roll my eyes when I saw her tongue dart out. An act to lick his skin. I yanked him from her grasp with a not so subtle blurring. The hand that had been on his chest, as she had been shorter than him and needed a minor amount of support to reach up to him, lifted to her mouth and she faintly licked it, "Why do you need my scent?" Alec demanded having found his tongue again.

"So when Lane has me go after you for taking the kids I can find you with ease." she remarked, her tone now cold. I was beginning to think she was more snake than chameleon. "Or you could just say they over powered you and ran off." I suggested.

She smiled, "Now why would I wanna do that? There is no freedom from this life...somehow you've fallen under that impression...Lane is rectifying that with everyone." she hissed, her tone serious yet not harsh.

Alec grabbed my hand, "There's no reasoning with her. She's Lane's bitch now." she snarled.

Her transhuman self-blurred and got the wind knocked out of her as Alec dodged the hit so she could run into his elbow. Unintentionally knocking herself out. "I hate those transhuman. Nearly as bad as Mia." he snapped. "I thought you liked having a woman - " I went to tease him when he glared at me, "As long as you're the one running the show I don't mind but NOT them!" I held my hands up in defense, "Okay fine but how do we get past the X7's?" I asked.

He looked up, "Damn it..." he made a try for it. Acting as his X5 superior self the X7's stood a little bit taller, an unconscious move I bet, "Listen up X7's!" he barked, his military persona coming out. They looked at each other, knowing he was a CO but now Lane was their CO now. If anything Alec's barking at them as if they were under him confused them.

"Or what?" a voice spoke from behind us.
