Logan moaned as Alec parted his legs. “What did the doctor say?” Alec asked curiously, running his hands up Logan’s thighs.
Logan groaned and tipped his head back on the pillow. “That I was imagining the feeling I felt the other day,” he whispered, his breath hitching as Alec’s fingers skimmed over the skin where Logan’s leg met his hip. “Oh, god,” he moaned when Alec’s fingers curled around his cock. “Stop being such a tease,” he growled.
Alec grinned up and lowered his head, drawing a very loud moan from his lovers throat.

“Do you know what I think?” Logan said as Alec and Jack entered his apartment.
“A hello would be nice,” Alec rolled his eyes, tossing his jacket onto a nearby chair.
“I think that me feeling something in my legs has something to do with Max,” Logan continued, ignoring Alec.
Alec groaned and threw his hands up in the air in annoyance. “There’s that name again,” he growled. “I’m sick of hearing it,” he snapped. “Max this, Max that, why don’t you just marry the damn woman?” he glared.
“Max transfused me in the hospital, I think that her blood is somehow managing to repair the cells that were damaged in the attack.”
“What?” Jack said, looking at Logan in surprise. “How is that even possible?” he asked.
“Think about it,” Logan said, “I know you’ve all got amazing healing abilities and probably a surplus of stem cells, it makes sense that her blood in my body would repair my damaged ones.”
“Which is why we’re going to try it again,” Max interrupted, stepping into the hallway with a few medical supplies in her hand.
“You’re going to let her transfuse you again?” Alec demanded of Logan. Logan nodded his head and Alec growled. “No you’re not,” he replied, snatching the things out of Max’s hands. “If you’re going to have anyone’s blood in you it’s going to be mine,” he snarled, glaring at Max as he passed.
“What’s wrong with him?” Max asked Jack as they followed Logan.
“Logan is Alec’s best friend,” Jack replied, “not yours,” he added, not seeing the look of hurt that flashed across Max’s face as he sat down and helped Alec.

Alec frowned and looked back at Sketchy and Original Cindy with the same look of confusion they were giving him. “Can you understand what he’s saying?” he asked, indicating to Herbal who was now walking away from them.
“It’s weird,” Sketchy replied, jogging slightly to keep up with Herbal. “You all right?” he asked in concern.
“I am very well, thank you,” Herbal replied, in the same perfect English as before.
“You talkin’ strange,” Cindy informed him.
“I am practising speaking more clearly,” Herbal answered.
“What’s wrong with the way you talk normally?” Alec asked, looking at his friend. He laughed when he heard that Herbal’s girlfriend couldn’t understand the way he spoke. “Herbal, pal,” he said, patting him on the shoulder, “we understand you perfectly. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not,” he grinned.
Cindy rolled her eyes and swatted him on the arm. “Of course that’s a good thing.” She tossed a mock-glare in Alec’s direction.
“You’re leaving?” Alec asked after Cindy had got off of the phone. “That’s great!” he exclaimed, earning him a real glare this time. “Well not great in the fact that you’re leaving, but great because you’re getting out of this shit hole!” he explained himself.
“As weird as that sounded, I think there was a congratulations in there somewhere,” Cindy laughed.
“You know me!” Alec grinned as Cindy hugged him.
~
Alec listened to the message Max was leaving Logan and congratulated himself as he managed to not rip the phone off the hook.
“You’re doing it again,” Alec sighed, stepping closer to his lover who hadn’t said anything to him since he had arrived. “Wallowing in self pity,” he added.
“You weren’t here earlier,” Logan whispered, shaking his head. “I thought it had worked,” he sighed, “I managed to step up and everything.”
“Well that’s great isn’t it?” Alec asked in confusion.
“It was until everything came crashing down again,” Logan sighed,. He looked over at his desk, which he had finally managed to get organized. “Literally.”
Alec sighed and kissed the top of Logan’s head, knowing that nothing he could say right then would make his lover feel better about anything.
~
“These guys are probably after me as well,” Alec sighed, running his hand through his hair.
“Probably,” Max agreed. “They just got to me first,” she sighed as well.
“Wait!” Alec interrupted. “Are you telling me that we don’t stand a chance against these killers?” he demanded. Sebastian ignored him. “Great,” he muttered. “Just great.”
~
“Alec, we gotta go,” Max called through to where Alec and Jack were chatting in the kitchen.
“Hold on, why do I have to go anywhere with you?” Alec demanded.
“Because I think Original Cindy’s in trouble,” Max replied. “She is your friend, isn’t she?” Max asked.
Alec sighed and stood up, “Where are we going?” he questioned.
“The place she works at now,” Max replied, leading Alec to the door.
“Wait!” Jack called, throwing on his own coat.
“Jack, you’re not coming with us,” Alec argued.
“Al, I’m not ten years old anymore, you don’t need to baby-sit me,” Jack replied. “And if these guys are as powerful as Sebastian says they are, you’re going to need some extra hands. Besides, me and Al are combat soldiers right?” he grinned at Logan, who rolled his eyes and shook his head.
“Fine,” Alec relented with a sigh. “We won’t be long and we will be careful,” he swore to Logan as they left.
~
“Max, don’t be stupid,” Alec snapped as Max picked up the implant.
“That thing could kill you,” Jack reminded her.
“I know,” Max replied, “but Cindy’s in trouble because of me and I need to save her. You said it yourself, these guys are too powerful for us. Let’s see how they cope with this,” she said, taking a deep breath and shoving the implant into the skin on the back of her neck.
“Max!” Jack cried as Max fell to the ground. “Are you okay?” he asked, helping her to her feet.
“I’m fine,” Max sighed, shrugging Jack's hand off her. “Let’s get this over with.”
~
“I don’t get it,” Original Cindy said. “All this time we’ve known each other and you didn’t tell me that you were a genetically engineered killing machine?”
“Max didn’t tell you either,” Alec cried, pointing a finger at Max.
“You’ve known her for longer,” Max argued, “you should have told her.”
“Why me?” Alec demanded as they continued bickering.
“Are they always like this?” Cindy asked Logan and Jack.
“Pretty much,” they both chorused with a grin.
~
“I’ve got a surprise for you,” Logan smirked up at his lover.
Alec’s eyes lit up and he grinned. “Really?” Logan laughed as he bounced up and down on the balls of his feet like a small child would. “What?” he asked excitedly.
“Close your eyes,” Logan instructed. Alec pouted. “I’m serious,” Logan said, “close them and no peeking.”
Alec sighed and covered his eyes with his hands. When Logan was sure that Alec couldn’t see he slowly lifted himself to his feet so that he was once again slightly taller than his lover. “You can open your eyes now,” he whispered.
Alec lowered his hands and gasped in surprise when he saw Logan’s face in front of his. “But I thought it didn’t work,” he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
“It’s not perfect,” Logan replied, kissing him softly, “but at least it’s a start,” he added as he sat back down in the chair.
