"That's it Max, beautiful keep that position."

"I always knew you were special Max, I just didn't know how special. I thought I had covered my bases, doing these private photoshoots and not a soul caught on. But then you came along Max, like the genius I knew you were managed to uncover my hard work in a week when the police couldn't in years."
*Shutter*
"I'm proud and disappointed Max, we could have had something had you just let nature take it's course. But you had to keep digging and what for some punk currently in a ditch with a bullet in her head, right next to her precious Rachel. Never could understand the infatuation, Rachel wasn't a terrible muse attractive enough and so desperate for a chance she was all too easy to get ahold of."
*footfalls*
"She left me disappointed I knew she wasn't star material but I expected a little more especially since she was so eager to please. Still her essence was beautiful to capture, it's a shame though I usually have a great time celebrating but she was so used by the time I had got to her she hardly provided any stimulation. But you Max your different, your special I had plans for you and you've gone and ruined them, but after I'm done we can both have fun celebrating. I wasn't able to with Kate but your her friend right you'll take her responsibility as well I'm sure I can have ten times more fun with you. Get comfortable Max we're going to be here a long time and I'm going to enjoy ever minute of it."
"You always were so sweet to me Max, like I could tell you anything and you would make it go away."
"I will Kate I will always be here for you, nothing no one will hurt you again while I'm here please I can't lose you just take my hand."
".........Ok."
*Thump*
*Slip*
"KAAATE!"
"AAAAAAAH MAX PLE-"
*Splat*
"Warren what have you done."
"It was for you Max now, now no one will get in our way we can go wherever we want just us, me and you, always, forever."
"Max you have to go back, you have to stop this I wasn't supposed to be alive Max if you go back and don't save me, you can save every one else please."
"I can't do that Chloe not again!"
".....What!"
"It didn't work, it never works! This is my Storm, I made it so I'm going to end it."
*Crash*
*Gasp*
Max shot upright hand on her chest and her breathing erratic. Her eyes were wild and in a panic as they darted around the room taking in her location. Realizing she was alone in what looked to be a hospital room she began to calm, looking down at herself she noticed she was attached to a bunch of machinery that monitored her vitals, bandages covered her shoulder and waist.
Taking a deep breath she brought her hand to her head straining against a pounding headache. She closed her eyes listening to the pitter patter of rain hitting the window to her room, after a few moments to get her bearings she opened her eyes to see another pair of bright blue eyes staring back at her.
"......"
"......"
Max sat stock still as she stared at herself? Unable to blink she held her gaze the two regarded each other barely inches apart, then the other Max tilted her head in curiosity before slowly leaning closer. The other Max was hesitant at first moving with caution until their noses touched each other's Max remained still eyes wide as she felt the contact, after a moment other Max closed her eyes before moving forward rubbing her face against Max's as she crawled over Max straddling her as she continued to rub their cheeks together. This continued for a moment before the other Max lowered her head to bury it in Max's neck, a feeling of satisfaction and love washed over Max like a tidal wave as other Max placed herself completely on Max's lap.
*Crash*
She flinched from the thunder and when she opened her eyes again she was alone once more. Max looked around for a person or mirror she could have mistaken for another her but she found nothing but an empty hospital room. Placing a hand on her head again she decided to lay back down and get some rest. As she drifted back to sleep she did not notice other Max staring at her from beside the bed close to the window. With another flash of lightning she was gone without a trace.
Kate was nervous standing outside Dana's door, she had planned on visiting Max in the hospital again today and had decided to ask Dana if she wanted to come. Kate had thought it was the right thing to do given that Dana was worried about Max as much as she was. She had been perfectly fine with the idea if not a little giddy to show Max how much they cared if she was awake, but as she made her way to Dana's door she felt less and less thrilled about Dana joining.
Now here she was standing outside Dana's door hesitant to knock and tell her plan for today. The longer she stood there the more she felt like she didn't want Dana to know she was visiting Max again today, not because Dana was mean or unpleasant, normally she was nice, approachable and sweet to her. No the problem wasn't how Dana acted normally, the problem was that Dana......changed whenever Max was involved. Dana like a switch would go from the sweet person she is into an...excited, borderline clingy, territorial omega whose mood changed so much Kate was worried she was bipolar, not to mention her patience became non existent.
Kate didn't know why Dana changed so quickly and she refused to entertain the thought that Dana liked Max...like that. Kate knew Dana liked Max but she couldn't possibly like Max right? Kate had tried to banish the thought from her mind, after all Dana was already in a relationship, she had a boyfriend even if her boyfriend was mean and not a good person Dana wouldn't try to attract someone else's attention while she was with him, Dana wasn't like that. But with every lingering touch, every look that lasted too long, every excuse for physical contact, and time her scent became more potent when Max was near, it became harder to deny and it became harder for her to not feel...irritated.
Kate knew she shouldn't feel that way and she felt ashamed because of it. Max was entitled to have other friends she reasoned with herself, but there was a growing part of her that wanted Max to herself. Max was always so sweet to her, there tea party's were always so relaxing and Max looked so cute when she burned her tongue on the still hot tea claiming it was worth it because Kate's tea was so good. It made Kate feel warm and fuzzy and when she hugged her Kate melted, she never felt as good as she did when Max's arms wrapped around her, it was addicting so much in fact she had started finding every excuse to have Max hold her.
It was a divine feeling, she was comfortable around Max, safe, cared for and when she hugged her it enhanced those feelings. She wanted Max to hug her tight so no space was between their bodies, she could imagine Max wrapped around her slightly smaller frame, that delicious otherworldly smell that Max emitted. Kate shivered as her thighs pressed together feeling wet and uncomfortable, Max could fix that a voice in the back of her head said and she could only agree. Images of Max pinning her to the wall came to mind, she could feel Max's breath on her neck as she held down her wrists- the door opened and Dana stood in the doorway with a confused expression on her face.
It was like a bucket of ice cold water fell on Kate as she snapped to attention a growl slipping out her throat causing Dana's eyebrows to shoot up in surprise. Kate sputtered face reddening in embarrassment as she composed herself. They stood staring at one another Dana's nose twitching every now and then.
"H-hi Dana, it's um a nice today isn't it?" Kate started awkwardly.
"Yeah today's been okaaay, is there." Dana looked Kate up and down her face questioning "Anything wrong Kate, did you need something?" Dana asked slowly.
"NO no I was just I was planning on checking on Max in the hospital today and I thought maybe you wanted to come too." Kate said holding her arm to herself.
"Sure I was just heading out now actually...are you sure you should go you seem, on edge." Dana said stepping out of her room already dressed in some ripped jeans and a pink crop top.
Kate felt her eye twitch looking at the amount of skin Dana was showing, feeling a little self conscious about her own choice of clothing that suddenly felt too restricting. Her head flooded with thoughts of leaving Dana alone with Max awake or not Dana could take advantage of Max's prone form. She could see Dana pulling the strap to her top down as she looks at a aroused Max before slowly climbing into her bed. Max could still not have woken up and she can still see Dana crawling above her leaning close and pressing her body down on her form. Can see her ghosting her lips against Max's skin, no she can't let that happen.
"I'm okay just a little excited a-and nervous the doctor's said she should be waking up soon, but what if she doesn't." Kate's voice began to quiver as she shuffled her feet nervously wringing her hands. "She was shot Dana there was so much blood.." Dana moved forward grabbing Kate's trembling shoulders staying eye level when Kate's teary eyes snapped to hers.
"Hey hey it's going to be okay, Max is going to be okay the bullets missed her internal organs and went clean through her she's going to be fine okay. We just need to help keep the peace until she wakes up okay everyone's waiting on her to get back our Den mother wouldn't leave us 'hormonal teenagers' alone for long" Dana joked bring a small smile to Kate's face.
"*Sniff* She hates being called that" Kate said wiping her eyes giving a watery laugh. Dana gave a grin "I'm convinced she's old but looks young or puberty hasn't fully hit her yet I've never been slandered so often by someone almost my age."
"Really I must be losing my edge, I can't remember a day I didn't remind you of your shortcomings." A voice spoke.
Turning their heads Kate and Dana noticed Victoria freshly showered filing her nails leaning against the wall. She gave them an annoyed glare before before straighting herself and crossing her arms.
"Now I hope there is a good reason you two are stinking up the dorm, I prefer not being assaulted by your stench first thing in the morning."
