Coupling: Alex/Isabel,
Quotes: From CrashDown.com. Season Two.

***

"He'll need to use his power, to open the doors... He'll take a deep breath, put his hand on his chest, and bring him back to life... and Alex will sit up suddenly, and Max will jump back, and the whole van will shake a little... the whole...the whole van will shake, and they'll come running back here with big goofy grins on their faces, and we'll have to come up with some kind of cover story for Hanson and everybody...."

***

Max held his breath as he slid the zip down the body bag. He wasn't quite sure he could do this. The smell of blood made him gag and he had to look away for a moment, this was Alex. This was Alex but it didn't look... it was broken and not what Alex looked like at all. He reached out and put his hands on his head and chest, he choked when he felt cold slickness against his skin. He began to heal, to fix all the damage that had been caused and he gasped when he looked down at Alex once more. He looked like himself again and his eyes fluttered open
"Alex" he whispered "You were in an accident. Everyone thinks your dead, you died Alex"
"Tess?" he mumbled but Max didn't hear him
"You have a chance to walk away from all the alien chaos and live a normal life"
"I do?" he said as he sat up slowly "How?"
"Every one thinks your dead so if we make them believe..."
"I'll have to leave everyone behind won't I?" he asked and Max nodded
"Even Isabel. Max you make sure, you make sure that she knows that I love her" he asked and he nodded. He grabbed some body bags and shoved them in the one Alex was in then raised his hand. They glowed softly for a moment before they looked exactly like he did when he was dead.
"You go on and have a good life and you do all the things we can't do you hear me? Have a great love and have lots of children and get a good job" said Max as he hugged him
"Take care of Isabel for me. Make sure she knows that I love her" he said and Max nodded. He looked at him one last time before climbing out on his own.
"Max?" said Isabel as a pained look came over her face
"I think you should all go home" said Valenti as the attendants came out pushing a trolley.

A Year Later

"We have been fighting them. And if not these guys, it'll be someone else... I just want my son to live a normal life. ...away from all of this... "
"He will live a normal live, Max. He will" said Phillip, Max looked away from him and back to baby Zan
"Not if I'm a part of it... " he replied. Phillip glanced at his son
"What are you saying?" he asked as Max looked up at him with tears in his eyes
"He's human. He deserves to live a normal human life. Look, all I've wanted for the past year, more than anything else in my life, was to find him. And now that I finally have, I... I think that I'm going to have to give him up. Dad there is someone I trust, a person I trust with my life and he lives in New York. His name is Howie Davis and I want you to take Zan to him"
"New York?" asked Phillip
"There further away the better and Howie will protect him. I don't want anyone else to raise my son"
"You must trust this Howie person a great deal" he said and Max nodded
"Yeah I do" he replied.

***

Howie Davis heard a knock on his apartment door. He groaned and slipped out of bed. He grabbed his robe pulling it on as he padded towards the front door. He saw Phillip and Diane Evans standing on the other side and he quickly opened it. They both gasped in shock
"Alex?" whispered Diane
"Nope the names Howie. Max called me, is that Zan?" he pointed to the baby "Why don't you come inside?" he stepped aside and they walked in and sat down on the corner couch
"Alex what are you doing out here? Everyone thinks your dead"
"Yes I know. I was Mindwarped by Tess, it fried my brain but Max healed me. He gave me a way out of all the danger but I had to give up all my friends, my family. I'm not sorry that I walked away, I've been helping people and even though I do miss my friends so very much I'm happy here"
"Isabel misses you" said Phillip
"Yes I'm sure" he replied "Don't worry I know all about Jesse. I know that she loves him and he makes her happy"
"Howie? Who is it?" called a voice from the bedroom
"Ava get some clothes on we've got company" he called
"I met up with Ava and she helped. As much as I despise Tess for what she did to me I can't help but love Ava. She's the polar opposite and I fell in love with her"
"Ava?" Phillip asked a little confused as a blonde haired girl looking like Tess came out of the bedroom
"She looks like Tess"
"You're Max's parents aren't you? I can assure you that I am nothing like my dupe. Tess deserved everything she got... how could she hurt anyone who is so kind and caring as Howie is?" she whispered "Is that Max's son?"
"Yes... Max wanted Alex to look after him"
"I don't go by that name anymore Mr Evans" he said with a smirk as he stood up and reached out for baby Zan "Hey little guy. I'm going to be your daddy" he whispered and this... this is your mommy"
"Hey Zan" she cooed
"We should be getting back. We have a lot to talk about with our kids"
"You won't tell them that you know I'm alive. I live here because they think I'm dead and I don't think I could go back now"
"It's not fair on Isabel but we'll keep it a secret. You've both moved on and we respect your lives now" said Diane "Thank you for looking after him Al...Howie" she said and he smiled as they let themselves out.

Coupling: Alex/Isabel,

***

Alex climbed out the van, everyone was gone and by sheer luck the morgue attendants hadn't seen him. He hurried off quickly away from the little building and began his walk home. He had a whole new life to plan out, he had a name to choose and he had to find a new place to live. New York seemed like a good place to start, he was a musician after all and that was the best place for music.
He spotted his house and paused, he had to get clothes, but could he really go in there? What if they saw him? He shook his head he wasn't Alex anymore, they weren't his parents. He needed a new name so he could believe that he didn't have a family, didn't have parents, he crossed the street as he thought up some names. Rick... Harry... Howard... Howie, Howie sounded perfect. He tried it out just to see how it sounded
"Hello I'm Howie" he said to his window as he checked that his room was empty "Hey there I'm Howie" he nodded as he slid up his window and climbed inside. He couldn't take all his clothes then they would know that something was up. He grabbed his school backpack and dumped the contents on the bed then shoved all his school work under the mattress. He grabbed a few warm clothes and shoved them in till the bag was almost full then he grabbed his running shoes and shoved them in too. He slung his backpack on both shoulders then spotted his guitar resting against the wall. He went over and picked it up, he reached inside it and pulled on the envelope he had taped inside. He shoved it into his pocket and strummed one last song on his guitar. He put it down quickly and rushed to the window when he heard footsteps coming up, he climbed out and hid in the bushes while his dad looked around the room
"Goodbye Dad" he whispered before turning and walking off. He made his way to the bus stop and ordered a ticket to New York. He sat there waiting for his bus when Max walked up to him with his hands in his jeans
"Hey Max" he said with a tight smile
"Hey Alex" he replied
"Alex? Sorry but the name's Howie" he said
"Alex" he began "Please just before you go let me have this one last moment with my friend"
"Sorry I guess I'm just trying to not be emotional about this all because if I do then I can't leave. I can't move on, it's bad enough that I'm leaving Isabel behind. I mean I love her, she loves me... I don't think I will love anyone as much as her"
"I'm gonna miss you. We all are"
"I hope you do. It's me, I'm the most missable guy" he said "I'm glad you came to see me off"
"Alex I can't see you off, because if I do I'll see which bus you were on and if Liz gets any flashes of this then she'll try and find you. Then everyone will blame me for not telling them"
"I see. Well you better go" he said as they both stood up, a bus pulled in and Alex sighed
"It's been great knowing you Max Evans"
"You too Alex Whitman, I'll do my best to make sure that everyone remembers you"
"Okay. The minute that I get on that bus Alex Whitman is dead. I'll contact you once I get set up so you know that I'm okay and no more lasting effects of being dead" he said and Max chuckled then hugged him
"Goodbye Max" he said. Max wiped his face with his sleeve before walking off. Alex climbed onto the bus and flashed his ticket then sat down in one of the seats. It was going to be a long, long trip. He was Howie Davis now.

***

A day into the journey Howie was doodling on one of his homework books that he missed when he emptied out his backpack. He sighed then dropped his pencil and began to roll it against the book, he had never been so bored in his entire life. He stared at the window until he heard the pencil still rolling. He looked down and it was rolling back and forth without anyone touching it. He reached out to touch it and he jumped in suprise when it came into contact with his fingers and the pencil flew into the air and hit the top of the bus. It landed back down in his lap and he paled how on Earth had he done that? He thought then realised that Earth wasn't the only planet with life. Was he turning into an alien?
He wriggled in his chair and peeked over the seat at a middle aged woman holding a cell phone
"Excuse me? Excuse me ma'am would I be able to borrow your phone please? I have to make a really important call and my battery is dead," she smiled at his politeness and handed it over to him. He punched in Max's home number and waited for an answer
"Hello?" came the sleepy reply "It's six am in the morning. Michael is that you?" asked
"No um I'm calling for Max Evans? Is he there?" he asked
"Who should I say is calling?"
"Howie Davis" he replied and the line went quiet for a few minutes
"Hello? Howie?" he heard Max's voice
"Max I think I'm turning into a... out of towner. Like... you and Isabel and Nasedo"
"Oh... how do you... how do you know?"
"I levitated a pencil" he whispered into the phone then glanced at the person next to him then smiled nodding his head
"Do you think it's because I healed you?"
"It could be from a number of things. I was dead after all, maybe it was from the balance ritual we have no idea!"
"I'll try and talk to Liz..."
"Max no. She'll come after me"
"I'll talk to Liz and see if she'll give me where Ava's staying. Maybe she can help you"
"Ava?" he repeated "She's one of the dupes. I don't trust them, they tried to kill you"
"No Howie it's okay... Liz trusts her... she helped save my life. Besides none of us here can help you"
"Max who are you talking to?" he heard Isabel in the background
"Max... Isabel... I can't... goodbye" he hung up quickly and handed the phone back to the lady and sat down. When he got to New York he would contact Max again for Ava's details. If he was turning alien he wanted to get a handle on it and soon.

"Sure you can ride me home... I mean ride you home..." he trailed off feeling deeply embarrassed

Coupling: Alex/Isabel, Alex/Ava

He got off the bus and decided the first thing he needed was a place to stay. If he was starting to develop alien abilities he would be able to make more cash. He bought a paper and began looking for cheap places to stay, he realised he would never have enough to stay anywhere or even in a hotel so he called Max
"Hey Max?"
"Howie" he replied, he'd gotten used to calling him Howie for some odd reason. Partly because he like everyone else knew Alex was dead
"I need Ava's address. I have no where to stay and I don't have enough to check into a hotel" he explained so Max gave him her address "Thanks you're a real pal. I have to go, it's getting dark here. Bye Max"
"Bye Howie" he said back before hanging up. Howie set off looking for Ava's address.

***

Ava Parker climbed out the shower, she had a shower! She still couldn't believe it! With the money Liz gave her she copied the notes into larger bills and bought an apartment. She wrapped the towel around her waist and brushed her long blonde hair off her back. After being forced to have it so short all those years she loved it long and curly. She jumped with fright when she heard a knock at the door, for a moment she panicked and thought it was the others but Liz had assured her that they wouldn't be coming back to get her anymore. She pulled on a dressing gown and tied the belt before walking to the door and answering it
"Yeah?" she drawled
"Ava? Ava Parker?" asked the boy standing in the hall
"Yeah wot d'ya want" she demanded
"My name is Howie Davis... I uh knew Liz"
"Hey you're that Alex dude"
"Not anymore. He was killed in a car crash, I need a place to stay just till I get on my feet and I'm developing alien powers. Would you be able to help me out?" he asked "Please?" he was so kind and had manners! She couldn't resist it, no one had ever said please to her before. She stepped aside and let him in, she checked his ass out as he walked by and nodded with approval. She shut the door as took his backpack off
"So what happened Howie?" she asked "How did Alex get killed, why are you out here?"
"I'm here because Tess... your dupe, was mindwarping Alex. It fried his brain and she put him in his car and pretended that he killed himself"
"Oh my god why would she do that?"
"The Destiny Book as far as I know. It explains how you can go home"
"Earth is our home now, she should realise that. Antar is where Ava, Zan, Rath and Vilandra lived. It's not us anymore"
"You're seem more down to Earth than the others. I thought you'd be just like Tess but you're not"
"No, I grew up differently Howie. It feels weird calling you Howie when you look so much like Alex"
"Would you be able to help me out with that?"
"Sure" she smiled "What do you want done?"
"My hair a little longer, maybe a goatee and my tongue pierced" he said and she grinned. She stood up walking over to him and made his hair softer and slightly longer with spiky dark purple ends. She slid her fingers under his chin and tipped his head back
"Close your eyes and I'll do your tongue" she ordered and he did as he was told. She leaned close and pressed their mouths together, he went stiff for a moment then pulled back in surprise. Then realised that something was in his mouth "You thought I was gettin fresh on you weren't ya?"
"A little" he replied as he rolled his bell bar around his mouth
"Ya cute but I don't think ya me type" she said honestly "You can crash on da couch. Night Howie"
"Night Ava" he replied. I wish she had been getting fresh with me, he thought as he leaned back and tried to make himself comfortable. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

She leaned down over him staring him in the face then pressed her fingers over his nose. He began swatting at the air till he coughed and woke up
"Morning" she said cheerily
"BITCH!" he shouted shoving her back and moving to his feet, she gasped up in fear as he loomed over her. He was breathing hard and he looked round "Ava?" he whispered then held out his hand "God I'm sorry... I thought you were... you looked like... I'm so sorry"
"No it's my fault. I should have realised that I look like her"
"It's just you were right close to me and that was... it was the last thing I saw. I... I'm sorry"
"Want to talk about it?"
"No, are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, I lived in a sewer for most of my life. I'm used to much worse" she said as she got up and went into the kitchen. She lifted her sleeve and saw the cut on her arm, she winced as she reached out to heal it.
"Much worse eh?" she turned and saw Howie standing in the door. She broke down and began to cry and he moved over and hugged her "I don't hit women. It's not something I do but... you look so much like her. Could you do something to not look like her?"
"Well I always wanted red hair" she whispered touching her soft blonde hair "But Zan always told me I looked ugly with red hair"
"Let's see" he asked and she focused and her hair turned a soft vibrant red
"What do you think?"
"I think... that you'd be beautiful with green hair. It looks better" he stated and she blushed
"Thanks Howie"
"You're welcome" he replied as she turned and began to make breakfast while he got a shower.
He stood in the shower as the burning water poured over him, when he lived back in Roswell he could never understand why anyone would let hot water pour over them in such a way but now as he stood here crying he knew why. He had lied to Ava, he had not told her how he suffered. He should have told her how much being around him makes him think of Isabel. He winced and looked down to see chunks of metal still stuck in his side, Max had healed him up but only the vital parts. He had no idea he had been walking around with part of his car still stuck inside him! He carefully took hold of the edges and began pulling them out piece by piece and dropping them on the floor. Blood dribbled down his body mixing with the water and he hissed in pain at the hot water stabbed at his wounds. He switched off the shower and climbed out grabbing a towel and pressed it against his side. She didn't have a first aid kit, so he had to rip some old shirt up and use it as bad aids.
He finally got dressed and trudged out and sat down at the table
"I made scrambled eggs and with toast" she said as she slid the plate before him "OMG Howie! Take your shirt off!"
"And the pants too?" he chuckled deliriously as he stood up and took his shirt off. He stepped back as his head drooped and his vision swam and he fell backwards falling over his chair into pitch blackness.
He woke up with Ava sitting on the couch across from him, she was watching him seriously
"I saw. I saw everything Howie. I saw what she did to you" she whispered and he paled "I healed you. You're side should be fine now"
"Thanks" he said as he sat up slowly, even though he had been healed it didn't mean that he still couldn't feel the wounds.
"I can't believe she mindwarped you to death"
"That's not all she did"
"What she didn't stop there? Oh my god what is wrong with her? I cannot believe we're cloned from the same person"
"She put me in my car. She drove it out and left it in the middle of the road and waited till a truck came then she warped the driver into thinking I drove straight at him. It looked like I had committed suicide"
"Oh my god!" she gasped clapping a hand over her mouth
"And none of them know. I can't tell Max because they will want to know how he knew and then I would have to go back. This alien chaos almost... it did kill me. I can't go back there, as much as I want to, to see Isabel and my parents. I can never go home"
"This is your home now Howie" said Ava firmly "Don't bother finding a place to live. You can live here with me,"
"I couldn't..." he began but she interrupted him
"I want you to. It's the least I can do, my dupe caused you enough. I can only try and make somethings better"
"Thank you" he said and she smiled
"You're welcome. Um I have a spare mattress in the room next to mine, you could get in your first power practice and help me fix it up into a bed"
"That's another thing I'm going to have to get used to"
"Powers?" she said wryly with a grin and he nodded
"Yeah alien powers. Still can't believe that I'm an alien now" he said
"Eh you get used to it" she replied as he got off the couch and they both headed to the spare room.
"Would it be okay if I ride home with you after school?"
"Sure you can ride me home... I mean ride you home..." he trailed off feeling deeply embarrassed

They were walking with linked arms down the street, they were going shopping for some new clothes. Since she was letting him stay there now he didn't have to worry about buying a place of his own so they could spend some of the cash
"Howie! Look at this! Isn't this just brilliant!" said Ava "This would look sooo good on you" she said but he wasn't paying attention. She followed his line of sight and saw he was looking at a shop window filled with guitars "You used to play?" she asked and he did a double take
"Huh um yeah I did. I really wanted to take my guitar with me when I left but... they would have known something was up. I had to leave everything behind" she took his hand and smiled
"Come on" she said and led him towards the shop, he looked at her surprised as she reached the door "Pick one" she said and he pointed the the guitar in the corner, it had red and white glitter over it. She just smiled and went inside, she came out a few minutes later with a guitar case and he had the biggest grin on his face. He picked her up and spun her in his arms
"You're brilliant! I love you!" he said as he hugged her she just shook her head
"Let's go see if there's an open mike night at my favourite hang out. When we needed some extra cash we'd always go sing at the club, I could sing but the others sounded terrible so they got me to Mindwarp everyone there to think they were fantastic" she explained and he chuckled
"I'd like to hear you sing. I know, I'll play and you sing" he said and she looked down
"I dunno" she said "If we make anything we'll go on another shopping trip" he said and she thought about it for two seconds before she grabbed his hand and pulled him down the street to the club.

***

It was pretty crowded as they set up, they decided that they would do a cover since they had no songs of their own. Ava agreed on the song and she grabbed hold of the mike as he began to strum
"I am here to tell you we can never meet again simple really, isn’t it, a word or two and then a lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when you think of me, or speak of me, or wonder what befell the someone you once loved so long ago, so well never wonder what I’ll feel as living shuffles by you don’t have to ask me and I need not reply every moment of my life from now until I die I will think or dream of you and fail to understand how a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
is it written in the stars are we paying for some crime is that all that we are good for just a stretch of mortal time is this God’s experiment iIn which we have no say in which we’re given paradise but only for a day nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide no escape, no change of heart, no any place to hide you are all I’ll ever want but this I am denyin’ sometimes in my darkest thoughts I wish I never learned
what it is to be in love and have that love returned is it written in the stars
are we paying for some crime is that all that we are good for just a stretch of mortal time is this God’s experiment in which we have no say
in which we’re given paradise but only for a day is it written in the stars are we paying for some crime is that all that we are good for just a stretch of mortal time is this God’s experiment in which we have no say in which we have no say in which we’re given paradise but only for a day" she sang softly and then the crowd went wild cheering as she looked to Alex who had tears streaming down his face. She walked over and gave him a hug, she kissed his forehead and he smiled at her
"Thank you" he said, they got off the stage as a guy clapping walked up
"That was fantastic! Where did you learn to sing like that?" he asked "I'm Bradley Day and I am looking for fresh talent"
"Hi I'm Ava Parker and this is... we're a band. This is Howie Davis" she said and he grinned
"Good, so the both of you then? Here's my card, I'm clearing my schedule tomorrow for you two. Does ten o'clock sound good?"
"Um..." Ava glanced at Alex who just shrugged "Yeah okay" he nodded and walked off after some handshakes and Ava squealed
"Oh my god we're going to be famous!" she cried "Oh I have to go home and get ready for tomorrow. It's going to take me hours!" she said, he put his arm around her shoulders and the two of them headed back home.
