OOC -- Not the best? It's Wonderful!


*Max*

I see Liz's amusement and disbelief flash across her face and my stomach drops. But before I can react, her expression clears slightly. She still looks confused and maybe a little scared but she's not screaming or running away. That's a good sign, right?

"Well, you know I always knew you were special..." she says. The words could mean it's all a joke, but the way she's speaking tells me she's actually accepting what I've told her so far, even if she still hasn't worked out all the other questions she's going to have.

"I know that wasn't easy for you to tell me, so...thank you..." she continues. The words almost make me cry. She's so wonderful, thinking of my feelings right now when I've disrupted so much of what she thinks of the world. Of course, after the meeting with Cameron, maybe aliens are just one more minor speed-bump.

"Thank you for not screaming or trying to call the psyche ward," I tell her, quite seriously, hoping that she isn't actually planning to do that as soon as she gets back home. It doesn't seem that way, but I'm still afraid. "I know it has to be as strange as finding out about that whole 'sons and daughters' stuff, but it's true. I'm not really ... human."

I take a deep breath, not really sure how to continue. She hasn't actually asked any more questions, but I know I need to explain something...

[magikhands]

Alex

I follow Isabel through her house and up to her room. I stuff my trembling hands into my pockets hoping her father doesn't suddenly materialize in front of me. That's the last thing I need tonight. I'm not sure I could handle a disapproving father.

Stepping over the threshold I commit myself into not backing out. I've come this far, might as well see it through to the end. The sound of her door closing behind me confirms that we are alone...at least in her room.

I look around for a place to sit. My eyes first land on the bed but I immediately dismiss that. Many of my dreams of Isabel were centered on a bed but I'm not about to go there. I find the computer chair much more appealing at the moment. Sitting, I look around the room. It's neat and organized, just as I pictured it to be.

I look to Isabel. She looks nervous as she bites her bottom lip. I wonder if this has to do with me being a Son. I hope her feelings of me haven't changed since finding out who I am. Oh, shit...I think. Maybe that's why she wants to speak with me. Maybe she wants to break off our friendship. That she doesn't want anything to do with the danger she could be in just in knowing me.

"Isabel?" My voice is soft and a bit shaky as those thoughts run through my head.

[magikhands]

Michael

Maria starts babbling away, asking a load of questions. I know she's curious about me and the others. My thoughts go to Tess. Maria's adopted sister. I know the subject hasn't come up yet, and I'm not sure I want to get into it with her. I figure I won't mention anything and let Maria deal with her sister in her own way.

She giggles nervously and feel her body lighten slightly as she body starts with the invisible act but she catches herself and she becomes solid again. She starts rambling again.

I chuckle and lean down and kiss her on the nose. I've never felt this relaxed or happy before. It's like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders when I'm around her.

"It's ok. I understand." I can't resist the urge to kiss her lips but I make it a light and short one. "Let's see..." I start settling in with her in my arms. "We don't really know much. We arrived here in the ship that crashed here in '47. We hatched from our pods about ten years ago. We don't really know where we are from or why we are sent here."

I shift a little drawing her closer to me. "It seems as if Max, Isabel, Tess, and I have always been drawn to each other. Somehow knowing that we were alike."

I intwine my fingers with hers and lean down and kiss her neck. She tastes so sweet and I have to stop myself from doing more and try to stay focus on our talk first.

"I've got a variety of abilities." I look down at our intwined hands. My thumb is slowly caressing the side of her hand and can't help but think that how strange that the same hand can kill a person with just a wave. "My control isn't as good as the others. Tess says it's because they are linked to our emotions." I shrug before continuing. "I can manipulate molecules and make obects different than their original state. I don't have a need for keys since I can unlock just about any lock. I can do the telekenisis stuff Max did earlier. In fact, it was me that shut the door one you." I confess but continue before she can respond. "There's a lot of others small things I can do but it seems that each one of us has a special ability. Mine..." I pause and hope she won't change her mind after I say this. "Seems to be the ability to blast bolts. I stunn someone and...even kill them if I have to."


ooc: I hope what he told Maria was right about their past. I remember seeing something about there is no King plot in here. I figured Trevor could let them in on their past when it comes time...am I assuming correct?

[magikhands]

Teresa

"Time's are changing for all of us Tree." Trevor says as he lets go of me and offers his hand. "So, up for a talk and a ride home from me?"

I take his hand and let him lead out of the house. I can't stop looking down at our joined hands, feeling incrediblely strange as his warmth sinks into mine.

"Ok. You say that time is changing. What did you mean?" I ask not feeling comfortable with the silence that fell over us.

[StormWolfstone]

~Isabel~

As Alex sits in the computer chair, I relax on the bed as much as I can before glancing down at my hands and then back up at Alex. I can tell from the way Alex is shifting that he's nervous too and I want to assure him that everything will be fine, but I'm not sure it will. At least, I won't be certain until I have the chance to see how he reacts to what I want to tell him.

"Isabel," I hear him say softly and it sounds a bit shaky.

"Alex… I can't… I know your secret and I swear I'll keep it just as I know that you'll keep mine." I can't believe that I'm doing this. I take a deep breath before I stand and move to my dresser, shifting the items on top simply for something to do while I begin. "I'm not completely human either, Alex."

How should I explain this? I can't help but feel myself grow frightened. We've lived our lives believing that keeping the secret meant our survival and though this wasn't the first time I'd wanted to tell him, I was still feeling like shaking. I pick up a bottle of nail polish and move over to stand in front of him as I hold it up, changing the red color to an electric blue.

"I'm not human, I'm far from it…" I find myself saying and simply stop, setting the nail polish down on the desk and moving back over to sit on the bed. "I'm an alien…"

[StormWolfstone]

~Maria~

"It's ok. I understand." Michael starts and then kisses me lightly for only a brief moment but I don't hesitate in returning it. I feel so much happier now then I can ever remember being. "Let's see..." He begins and seems to get comfortable. "We don't really know much. We arrived here in the ship that crashed here in '47. We hatched from our pods about ten years ago. We don't really know where we are from or why we are sent here."

He shifts, bringing me closer to him and I sigh in contentment as I listen to him continue, "It seems as if Max, Isabel, Tess, and I have always been drawn to each other. Somehow knowing that we were alike."

His fingers entwine with mine and I find my pulse skittering wildly as his lips touch my neck. Focus, Maria DeLuca, listen to the words and pay attention to them and not how he makes your senses act. I tell myself and listen as he continues, his thumb caressing my hand causing me to smile. It's so sweet, he's so gentle and caring at the moment and I can hardly believe it.

"I've got a variety of abilities. My control isn't as good as the others. Tess says it's because they are linked to our emotions." I feel him shrug and simply look into his eyes as he explains, "I can manipulate molecules and make objects different than their original state. I don't have a need for keys since I can unlock just about any lock. I can do the telekinesis stuff Max did earlier. In fact, it was me that shut the door on you." His confession causes me to unwittingly widen my eyes. He'd been the one that had stopped me from leaving? I open my mouth but he continues before I can say anything. "There's a lot of others small things I can do but it seems that each one of us has a special ability. Mine..." He pauses and I wonder why he seems suddenly concerned. "Seems to be the ability to blast bolts. I stun someone and.... even kill them if I have to."

"Have you had to kill someone in order to protect yourselves or the others? To protect your secret?" I ask, the idea that he would kill bothered me but I could understand if there was self-preservation or keeping others from harm. And I can't help but think that if I decide to train myself, listen to everything and follow what it seems I'm destined for he would be able to protect me. Just like he said he would.

"And how does this changing objects from their original state work?" I ask, suddenly feeling a bit more curious even though I could think of other things at the moment that I would love to do with him other then talk about our non-human status. I also decide to comment on his having kept me there, "I'm glad you stopped me from leaving, Michael. I wouldn't change anything about this night. I like being here with you."


ooc: it definitely works

[KatnotKath]

OOC: hope this works Isabelle, sorry for the misunderstanding and feel free to tell me if you want this changing, sorry for the delay.

~Liz~

"Thank you for not screaming or trying to call the psyche ward,"

Max seems hugely relieved, and I can completely understand that. Of course whether I would have been so open minded before tonight, I might have been a bit more skeptial then... Doesn't really matter when it comes to it though does it... Max is my friend, that's the most important thing...

"I know it has to be as strange as finding out about that whole 'sons and daughters' stuff, but it's true. I'm not really ... human."

I shake my head. "Well as you just pointed out yourself, it wouldn't appear I'm exactly normal either..." I sigh and look at him, questions running in my head but really not knowing where to start... When it comes to it, this isn't even the important thing about him, the important thing is who he is, and I already know that...he's my friend...

"Honestly though Max, whether you're...human" I have to pause a moment, still trying to get my head around that. "...or not, it's really not what matters to me..." I smile and squeeze his hand. "I could ask where you're from, how long you've known, what you can do and a hundred other things really...I'd be interested in the answers too of course... But in the end, that's not what's important, and whether you answer them or not, I think I already have the most important answer... Who are you? - you're the same Max Evans, I've known all my life, and you're my friend..."

Michael

"Have you had to kill someone in order to protect yourselves or the others? To protect your secret?" She asks.

I lower my head a little. "No...not yet." I lift them and meet with her blazing green orbs. "But if anyone I love is in danger I will do what I have to do to protect them."

She blushes a little when I reach up and brush her cheek with the back of my knuckles. She tries to act unfazed and continues with her questions.

"And how does this changing objects from their original state work?"

I shrug my shoulders. "It gets difficult to explain. Max may be able to go into details. I just know how to make it work."

She nods ehr understanding and I'm glad. The longer I hold her, and the longer I gaze upon her beauty, the less I care about using words.

"I'm glad you stopped me from leaving, Michael. I wouldn't change anything about this night. I like being here with you."

"Neither would I," I say as I no longer resist the urge and dip my head to kiss her. It starts off as a light tender kiss, but with her encouragement I deepen in.

With unexpected speed, I shift our bodies so that she lay beneath me on the bed and my body is covering hers. Our lips haven't parted. I feel her arms wrapping around my body pulling me closer. I sigh and fall completely under her spell.

[magikhands]

Alex

"Alex… I can't… I know your secret and I swear I'll keep it just as I know that you'll keep mine." She stands and goes to her dresser and starts playing with the items that lay on it. "I'm not completely human either, Alex." She blurts out.

She moves and holds a bottle of polish in front of me. My mind is still trying to process the words she just said. She wasn't human? Was she daughter who Mena didn't know about? Is she really part of our enemies? No, not Isabel. I would know if she was evil. I wouldn't feel so warm and fuzzy around her if she was evil. Would I?

Suddenly the nail polish turns from red to blue. My eyes widen in response. Even after all I'd heard and seen tonight this surprised me.

"I'm not human, I'm far from it…" She sits the bottle on the desk and moves to sit on the bed again. "I'm an alien…"

I sit there in the silence that eveloped the room. Alien. The word runs over and over in my mind. I look at Isabel. Her long blonde hair, dark eyes, high cheeks, along with plump red lips. No, she was no alien, I denied. But the bottle of polish. How else would you explain that?

I pick up the bottle and examine it.

"As in...the ..." I meet her eyes. She's waiting for my response. That's when I remember how quiet she'd been during our time at Mena's. How she was distracted on the way over. I'd thought it was because of who she found out I was...but that wasn't the reason at all. I suddenly understood that her distraction was because she was thinking about WHO she was.

I get up from the chair and kneel down before her. I reach out and gently take her hands in mine. I can see her fear of rejection glittering in her eyes. I smile.

"Today has been a day of surprises. A day of truths. And yes, my mind is boggled from it all. But I know one thing that has never wavered tonight." I pause and swallow nervously. "My feelings for you. Isabel, we've been friends for years. You can't imagine what joy I felt when we all moved back here to Roswell. And since then, I've realized that my feelings have deepened for you. No matter where you are from. You are still my Izzy Bear just as I'm still Alex."

I stop further words from tumbling from my mouth, wanting to see her reaction of my admission first. I didn't want to pile too much on her at once. We've already had enough of that tonight.

[StormWolfstone]

~Trevor~


"Ok. You say that time is changing. What did you mean?" Teresa asks me once we’ve reached the car and I open the door for her, letting her climb in before walking back around the car and getting into the driver’s seat. I hadn’t wanted to let go of her hand and somehow, I find myself reaching for hers as soon as I’m settled, the car is started and we are moving.

“What I mean Teresa is that as much as I probably shouldn’t tell you, I’m going to tell you. I’m not human. Not even the slightest human. I’m not even from your planet. I’ve only been on Earth for the last three years. There are four others that are here, they are genetically engineered with both the same DNA I have as well as human DNA.” I realize that my voice has gone devoid and I shake my head as I turn to look at her, pulling over to the side of the road.

“I care about you, Tree. I don’t ever want to hurt you or see you hurt. I’ve tried very hard to protect you… from me. Tried not to get too close…” I stopped speaking and simply reached over and drew her closer, pressing my lips to hers in a demanding yet gentle kiss.
