The passing of time is irrelevant. The passing of life is scary.
Even if I ran to you
your touch would be elusive
even if I surrender

theres a place for me .
where you and I can dance .
and i know .
theres a place for me .
you will be there .
take me there . .
They were sitting at the table. They had chosen this place to go over their mission before telling the others. One light illuminated the cluttered room. Joshua had never been the one to clean. Max stared into the shadows. Her thoughts remained on the mission at hand, but her feelings had strayed elsewhere. But of course she had to push them aside, like a good soldier. . .

"Max, you know you can always go back. I'm not gonna get killed cus you're worried about Logan." .
"Shut up and finish what you were sayin." .
"Terminal City will be the base where everyone'll meet. Now, we're going to make White come to us. We just need to figure out where, when, and how." .
"Everybody ready?" .
"Yeah, they should be there now." .

"Hey lil fella." .
"Hey Joshua." She smiled at him as he hugged her. .
"Where's Logan?" .
"Somewhere safe." .
"Good." He smiled again. .
"You ready to finish this once and for all." .
"Been ready along time." She smiled and slapped him on the back. .
"Good. Aiight people. Let's get this party started." Everyone gathered around as Max and Alec explained the plan. "We've been running for too long. Now we are going to stop, and let White find us. We're gonna pull him into a trap." . .
"Look boo, she had to do it." .
"Well I don't like it." .
"If Max say's it's too dangerous, then it's too dangerous." .
"But what if she needs our help." .
"I don't think she will. Max got's all her other transgen brotha's and sista's. I think they can handle themselves." .
"She could have said good-bye." .
"She did, just before she left, I saw her." .
"Why didn't you stop her." .
"Please. If Max is gonna do sumthin, she's gonna do it." .
"But, why didn't she wake me up?" .
"Cus, you woulda made her stay. And she can't do that." He walked away in frustration. Throwing open the door he looked out across the horizon. The air was chilled, causing him to shiver. He breathed out, and his breath hung in the air. 'I'm going to get back to you somehow Max. No matter what you say, you need me.' Leaves stirred at his feet, dancing across the muddy ground. He turned and walked back inside. "Get your things. We're going to go back.' . .

The truth be told, she was scared. Not for herself, but for everyone else. Looking around, all her brothers and sisters by science, they all stood together like soldiers again. This time fighting for their own freedom and right to live. She hoped deep down that they would win, they would all survive. Hoped that this fight would be their last. They could all finally live without fear of those they love getting hurt. Like poor Joshua, and his Annie. Looking around now at their faces. Smiling, ready for the battle. Some had grim determination. But all of them, all of them wanted to be here, to do this. To do what has to be done. Something she wished was all a dream. .
