Chapter 1
Alec watched her from the corner of his eye. He saw her hand interlocked with his and felt a stab of pain in his heart.
So they're 'on' again are they? He thought to himself.
So what if they are? Another voice responded. Means you're off the hook as her 'boyfriend' doesn't it?
Yeah but… He was cut off his trail of thought by a heavy paw landing on his injured shoulder.
He winced, "Hey big fella." He said to Josh. Since Annie, Alec had gotten a lot closer to Joshua. Saw him as kind of his family.
"Hey medium fella. Shoulder hurting?" The dog man asked his friend with genuine concern.
Something Alec didn't hear very often. Especially from her.
"Nah, 's alright." Alec answered in his usual 'I'm always alright' attitude.
Joshua smiled at Alec's attempt to hide his 'weaknesses' as Manticore would call them. He knew that even though Manticore was gone, most of the transgenics still used their training, not only to help them survive, but also afraid of the punishment they might receive if they didn't.
Joshua looked up at his flag blowing in the wind. Alec followed his gaze and smiled at the look of happiness on his friend's face.
"Joshua proud. Flag our symbol." Joshua said still staring at his flag.
Not only his artwork proudly on display, but also transgenics.
Most of the transgenics had gone in, some scared of what would happen next, others tired after the Jam Pony siege. All wondering what their 'proud to be a freak' leader Max would do next.
Max felt Logan shiver even through the latex glove and leather glove they were each wearing.
"Maybe, you should go in," Max told Logan without taking her eyes off the police crowded around Terminal City's gates below.
"I'm not leaving you Max. Not now, not ever. Especially now I know you and Alec were never really together." Logan said matter-of-factly.
"Who said me and Alec weren't really together?" Max responded angrily assuming Alec had once again screwed up for her.
"Max, come on," Logan said. "How possessive Alec is, he would have marched over half an hour ago when he saw us holding hands. It's okay Max, I understand why you did it, you had to push me away. But we'll find the cure, there's no need to." Logan said using his latex gloved hand to run a finger down Max's cheek.
Max stepped back three spaces.
"No, Logan I didn't lie. Alec just understands that we're still friends and you were comforting me. Hell, I hold Joshua and Original Cindy's hands all the time."
"Max," Logan began as if talking to a child. "Joshua's not in love with you, he's family. And OC, well she's…."
"Original Cindy's what boo?" OC came up behind the couple receiving a thank you look from Max.
"Nothing OC. I was just saying that when you hold Max's hand and when I hold Max's hand, it's two completely different things." Logan answered.
"Really? 'Cuz OC don't see no difference. We both Max's friends so why would it be? Anyways bounce so I can talk to my boo in private for a sec." OC told Logan pointing over to the door leading back into the Command Centre.
'Thank you' Max mouthed to OC as Logan walked in.
"Hey boo. Hell of a day today, ain't it?" OC sad trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, listen OC. I'm so sorry to get you and Sketch dragged into this. I never meant for anyone to get hurt. I know Alec knew CeCe longer than me and I know he's more hurt than he's letting on. I just… I don't know whether he'd accept comforting from me." Max rambled. "And then there's Logan, so determined to get back together. And I'm like why? I shouldn't be thinking that OC. I'm supposed to be in love with him. He's back to going on about the cure and all I can think about is, what TC needs; in food, medicine, housing, if we're going to survive. That's normal to care about that more right?"
"Wow, for a minute there OC was wondering if you were going to take a moment to breath." OC said wrapping an arm around her boo. "Now OC thinks it's perfectly normal for you to be more…. focused on sorting TC out before you go looking for yours and Roller Boy's cure. But it's not normal to say you're supposed to be in love with him. I'm sorry boo, it just ain't. And if you're worried about Pretty Boy I suggest you go over there and see for yourself if he's okay."
OC walked over to Joshua, whispered something in his ear which made him smile then dragged him off into the Command Centre, giving Max a •'well go on then'glare.
Max watched Alec, watch the flag blow for a second, then walked over to him.
