When it turned to 4am, Alec couldn't sleep. Most of the pains in his muscles died down to a dull ache and he felt well.. twitchy. Which was why he slipped out the window of Carter's guest room in his now dry clothes and ran. He ran through the streets as fast as he could, through alleys, over cars and fences committing his path to memory as he went. The world was utterly and completely different from the one he left and it bothered him slightly. Home was intangible here. The people he cared about were too far away. And seeing the newspaper with the date really cemented in the reality of what he was now facing.
When he finally slowed to a stop and scaled the side of the building, his internal clock put him at 5:30 in the morning. Alec didn't feel tired. In fact, he paced the room until he decided he needed to expend the restless energy and started the military exercise routine that Manticore put the transgenics through daily. Just because you were made with all the super genes didn't keep the body maintained. And when the light started to poor through the window and illuminate the room, he just dropped soundlessly to the floor in only his combat pants and started the push-ups.
None of it ever felt like enough. Alec knew Max saw him as lazy, but she didn't do the training at all much less a few times a week like he did. Closing his eyes, he curled a hand to rest at the small of his back while continuing the push ups on one arm. His mind ran through all he saw in the city and in the apartment until he frowned. Nothing like the time device existed here. Not even close.
It meant he should just give it up and accept the fact he could never go home. He stopped, his body held up on the one arm until he felt sweat slip softly down his nose and plop on the floor. Never going home felt worse than running away voluntarily like he so often wanted to do in the past.
Don't think. Switching arms, he started the next set trying to chase away the thoughts with the inane counting in his head.

Jan. 10th, 2011 09:32 pmWhen he'd had enough of seeing Logan looking like a zombie (and zombies are much more lively), he did his own research. So maybe he was a little selfish not doing the run with Max and the others on Manticore... but he had someone to keep in mind other than himself. They couldn't expect it of him. Maybe it was better anyway... so he could go get Max's ass out himself. Before Logan did something stupid or starved to death... or Ben decided he wanted to go spring his Maxy. And seriously? He was never letting Manticore get their claws in Ben ever again.
So he left a note with Logan... addressed to Ben. All it had said was, 'I'm sick of both of you looking like someone ran over your puppy. So... I'm going to get her out. You can thank me later, I know I'm an awesome little brother. Ben... don't go near Manticore. I mean it. Yours Truly, Alec' And for all the irritation it would cause, it was just the way Alec was. He didn't want to go. But he'd make light of it... and cross his fingers that he wouldn't get burned for it.
He should have remembered that the best laid plans always seemed to walk him straight into hell. And he'd almost made it too. He'd forgotten how freakin' creepy X7s were. And after fun filled events of re-indoctrination... Manticore decided to have a little more fun and tie up loose ends. Which landed him back here... the one place he never wanted to be ever again. Psy-Ops. But the jerks could all burn in hell... cause he wasn't going to tell them anything about Ben. And by now... that was the only thought he could actually recall as even his own pain and possible screams were blurred out.
