Max and Logan are what you'd call "star-crossed lovers."
Max has emotional hang-ups that make her run from her feelings and Logan, at
first, refused to admit he liked Max as anything other than a friend. They first met
when she broke into his apartment. She caught the tail end of a hack and he
tracked her down to make sure she wasn't out to kill him and they formed a
tentative relationship. Max would do Informant Net work for him and he�d help her
track down her siblings and Hannah. Their friendship began to evolve into
something more but they kept dancing around their feelings. By the time Max was
willing to face the reality about her and Logan, Zack showed up and the two of them
went off to rescue Tinga. The mission went sideways and Max ended up dieing in
Logan�s arms trying to take down Manticore.
Logan went after Manticore
with a vengeance through Eyes Only hacks, only half believing Max was dead.
Manticore wanted his head on a platter. Manticore had offered to reinstate Lydecker
if he gave them Eyes Only. It appeared he was gonna turn in Logan but at the last
second Lydecker turned on the Manticore people. In the brief shoot out Logan was
injured. The Manticore cleanup crew took a sample of his blood and used it to
create a retrovirus. Any intimate contact between Max and Logan would activate a
viral agent that was targeted to Logan�s DNA and he would die. They found out
about the virus from Alec, who had been instructed to give it to Max and then follow
her in order to retrieve Eyes Only (Logan). Max returned to Manticore and retrieved
the antigen just in time to save Logan. Logan never stopped hoping for a cure and
he constantly tries to assure Max their relationship can work, somehow.
Before the virus came into play Logan and Max's primary activities where having
dinner at his place or playing chess, besides saving each other's life from time to
time. They never actually went somewhere on a date except the time Logan asked
Max to attend his cousin's wedding with him. |
