This chap is a biggie (plot wise), kind off anyways, not much Max/Alec but they are in there. Short chapter I know but for this part of my fic it needs to be. The aftermath will be big though! Xx

You should really clear your computer history

Wiping a slight drop of coffee off her shirt from where that idiot had walked into her Asha strolled into the hospital room and was relieved to see that the lumps on Logan had decreased in size immensely. The sweating had stopped and he actually had some colour to his cheeks.

"Wow, your blood actually helped" she said looking at the two transgenics in the matching uncomfortable hospital chairs.

"You don't say" Max said squeezing Alec's hand in thanks.

Ignoring Max's comment Asha asked when Logan would wake up and be able to be discharged before fishing the keys out of Logan's trouser pockets (that were folded neatly on the bedside cabinet, not on his person!) and went to retrieve some fresh clothes for Logan for when he wakes up.

"Wow, waiting for sleeping beauty to wake up is borrrrrrrring" and for that Alec was rewarded with hysterical laughter from Max. Raising an eyebrow he waited for it to stop, it didn't. Starting to get a little worried he asked if she was alright and received more laughter.

"Sorry," hiccup "it's just" hiccup "here we are" gasp "not 10 minutes ago it was a serious situation and here you are making light of it"

"And that's funny why?"

"Well, it's not, but I needed it, so thanks"

"You're welcome" he said shaking his head at the complete change in Max and her emotions. Smiling again she patted his arm and turned her attention back to 'sleeping beauty'.

After battling with the locks on Logan's door why did he even have locks? Max usually just broke in anyways, she walked through his apartment turning on all the lights and admiring the random painting on the wall that looked misplaced hanging in Logan's apartment.

She walked into his bedroom, trying to ignore the fact that she was in Logan Cale's bedroom. Rooting through his underwear draw trying not to blush at the tighty whities she placed them in a bag and carried on rooting through the rest of his drawers and his wardrobe until she had a whole outfit for him.

Asha had picked a blue jumper with grey jeans and stripy socks. He needed a jacket but all the ones she could find were ugly. God, the man needed to go shopping. He should take Max and Alec with him, they knew how to look good and show off their looks. Picking up a pair of shoes she left the bedroom.

Deciding that Logan could wake up at any second and need fresh clothes she decided to leave without a jacket. Walking through the house she turned off all the lights she had turned on, she walked through his 'office' and saw, finally, a decent jacket.

The jacket hung over the office chair and as she picked up she noticed the computer flashing. A broadcast needed to be sent. Thinking back over the past few days she could remember the screen flashing when she first walked in and found Alec holding a gun to a dying Logan.

Clearly with all the commotion of Max returning, Logan had forgot to send it, oh well, she was already being helpful by bringing him clothes she might as well send this for him to.

She pressed enter, and then left the apartment, not realizing the damage she had unwittingly caused.

The doctor looked pleased with himself as he handed Renfro all his notes on the tracking devise and the remote that would activate it again. Smiling at him Renfro gave him the wages he deserved and extra for getting the system working earlier than planned.

"So all she does is press this button and we get the location of 494 and 452?" White asked looking over the notes. "Definitely 494, but whether 452 is still with him is anyone's guess"

Renfro looked at the two men in front of her before finally hovering her hand over the button that would get her soldiers back. Just as she took a breath in of anticipation she was interrupted by an 'Eyes Only' broadcast appearing on the television.

He'd finally done it, the swine. She couldn't believe it, he had exposed them all. The broadcast told everyone about Manticore and now she needed to destroy all the evidence. Seething in anger, she marched past the bewildered faces of Dr Brent and White (handing him the untouched remote as she passed) and dialled a number.

"We've been compromised, you know what you have to do, no-one gets out, no research is left, and everything we need is already on the outside. So destroy it all"

A creature called Joshua; Sandeman's first listened to the commotion upstairs from his hiding place in the basement with the other anomalies. None of the upstairs people knew he was here. Tilting his dog-like head he could hear screaming, running from the guards and banging on the metal doors. Muffled words registered in his sensitive hearing "Let us out" "We're trapped" "Fire" "Help", listening past the words he could hear a sizzling and then the overpowering burning smell hit his nose.

Something had happened to Manticore, there was a fire and everyone was trapped. Scrambling to some of the doors he tried to pry them open and release the creatures, but even his inhuman strength wasn't budging the doors. "Joshua needs help" he whispered than ran towards the opening in the building that Max and Alec had escaped from. He jumped out, taking long strides up the hill, he took one long look back at the burning building before jumping over the fence, looking for help.

So yeah I burnt Manticore down. Joshua wasn't originally going to be in this fic but maybe the sequel, but there he is, don't expect more from him yet though. Sorry this took so long, if any of you saw my profile you will know I am having personal issues and finding it hard to update. This chap might be a mega disappointment, I know I don't like it but please don't be put off by it, it will get better; just let me sort myself for reading x
