Alex didn't die in CYN. Tess wasn't evil and therefore didn't kill him. However there *was* an accident. His face was destroyed, but he was alive. Treadstone was on the lookout for these sorts of opportunities so they took him, planted a look alike corpse and swapped some records. Maybe they even manufactured the opportunity themselves. Perhaps you could attribute his odd behavior to the beginning phases of Treadstone's conditioning process.
In the Bourne universe it's immediately after events in "The Bourne Supremacy." Alex *is" Jason Bourne.
In Roswell it's post-Graduation and the kids are on the run. And just because I hate Jesse's guts, he worked for Treadstone.
CC all the way. Happy ending required for all involved. Everything else is up to you.

Assassin Jake Thourne Challange
I was watching Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum clips on YouTube and this idea hit me. It is a lot like the above, but I think mine is more plausible to write as a story.
- What if Jason Bourne was not the only amnesiac assassin running from his former superiors during the 2000s
- What if Alex did not die, but become the Special Unit's counterpart for the Treadstone's Jason Bourne, their top assassin/best agent?
- They "named" him Jake Ezekiel Thourne (Jake Thourne for short)
- This could be a XO with Bourne Series Movies, or Author can just borrow the concepts from Bourne series and put them into Roswell context.
- Either way, the Special Unit will play the same role as that of the Treadstone in the Bourne Series.
Basic Storyline
1. Alex does not die, but the special unit finds him after the accident. Thinking of him as a good source of information, they take him and leave a fake duplicate dead body in his place
(They created it from a corpse using a stolen alien Technology.)
Or
Max's healing revives Alex, but it takes long for him to finally be "alive" again. Special Unit finds him and takes him in. They arrange a fake funeral and make him "dead" to the rest of the world.
2. They soon discover that for some reason (Due to a severe mindwarp by Tess), Alex's memory of his life is
almost completely erased while retaining the learned skills. Instead of Killing him, they decide to "mold him" into their best asssassin/agent. After all, he is almost completely blank. He will be the best subject for thier new trainning/conditioning program.
If this will be an XO with Bourne Series.) Special Unit has obtained the training methods via illegal link from the CIA(Treadstone)
3. They create fake life memory for him and train him.
(Details of training needed)
* Author decides the details of the fake memory, but he/she should give him a name other than Jake Thourne.
Jake Thourne is only the Codename.
4. Final product, Jake Thourne has had a training similar to Bourne.
He is skiled in hand to hand combat, (Maga and Escrima/Kali techniques.)expert gunman, sniper and a spy
*Think of Jason Bourne in the movies, only being Alex Whitman in appearance
5. The Special Unit deploys Jake Thourne for a number of missions for 2 years. Not all the members of the Special Unit know the story behind his joining of the unit. Only the High ups know.
6. By the time the special Unit becomes depedent on Jake Thourne's ability. He is sent to Roswell New Maxico for an assassination.
7. During the one-man mission, he experiences a flashback and abandons the mission in panic ( The target being one of the poeple he knew as Alex Whitman). His past personality partially emerges.
8. Realizing that something is wrong, he becomes a run away. fighting off the Special Unit members coming after him, he searches for the clues to sovle the mystery

* You're U.S. Government property. You're a malfunctioning $30 million weapon. You're a total goddamn catastrophe!
* I send you because you don't exist.
* I don't want to do this anymore.
I don't think that's a decision you can make
* Look at what they make you give.
* The objectives and targets always came from us. Who's giving them to him now?
Scary version? He is.
* I swear to God, if I even feel somebody behind me, there is no measure to how fast and how hard I will bring this fight to your doorstep. I'm on my own side now.
* She wouldn’t want me to. That is the only reason you are alive.
