I was waiting for Maria to respond but I don't know where she is?

~*Tess*~

I'm waiting for Maria to respond to Max's call when Alex walks into the diner and over to our table. Still with only half of an ear in the conversation I hear him greet us and Kyle respond, something about crashing with Max. Worried about Maria's lack of response I decide to go check on her.

I smile at Alex and get up from the booth. 'Hey Alex, I was just going to talk to Maria, you can have my seat.' Kyle gives me a quizical look and I smile at him, reassuringly. * I'll see what's up with her Max, you figure out what we are going to do tonight, and maybe someway to lose Trevor so we can talk with everyone about what this means? * Still a little unsure, but trusting Max to fix it I make my way to where Maria is clearing a table. I lean over, helping her put some things in the bus bin and speak quietly. 'Maria- can we talk?'

OOC: hope this works

~Alex~

I nod in response to Kyle, pulling a face. “Yeah, my dad seems to be going through one of his phases…” I sigh. “Of course it doesn’t help that my wonderful brothers have been home the last week either… Just when I thought I had managed to put him off, he’s back to trying to make me do the cadet stuff.”

Shaking my head, I shrug. “I just really need not to be there tonight when he gets back…hence the crashing…”

I haven’t missed Tess going over to Maria, or the look on Max’s face, but given that Trevor is here, talking about normal stuff is pretty much all we can do. I’m certain that we’ll be talking about more later, but then first we have to try and get rid of him I guess.

Not that Trevor isn’t a really great guy, just sometimes trying to discuss things, with him around, just really isn’t simple given he’s still in the dark…

Still, for now I guess we keep up the normal conversation… I look over at Kyle. “So, Max was saying something about a movie…have you guys chosen what yet…?”

[isabelle]

Since our Trevor hasn't been around, I'm going to use him a bit. Hope that's okay....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*Kyle*

"Nah. We haven't actually made a choice yet," I tell Alex. "We decided on a romantic action flick, but we haven't decided on a title yet. I guess we could just head down to the multi-plex and pick when we get there."

Max shakes his head. "We should probably check the listings. Otherwise we'll decide on the movie we want and find out that it's over an hour to wait until show time."

"I guess," I admit, although we've managed to kill time at the theater before. There is that little coffee bar and the game arcade.

"Trevor?" Max asks. "Why don't you grab a paper so we can see what's playing?"

"Yeah, sure," Trevor says. He gets up and heads for the front of the diner where there's a stack of papers.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*Max*

I don't know why Maria was ignorning my mental question but before I wonder about it much, Tess gets up to talk to her. Tess's silent words echo in my head. you figure out ... someway to lose Trevor

Lose Trevor. Right. I sigh internally.

I've always thought it was good to have Trevor around -- a normal friend who isn't in on the secret to help us all remember to keep up appearances -- but it can be a bit awkward when something 'alien' comes up. I hate to be ditching him all the time, but that's the way it is.

I'm able to get him away from the table for a few moments to buy a newspaper, but I know we're going to need a lot more than that if we're going to really talk this out. I'd like to think we can just do it after the movie, and maybe we can, but somehow, this feels a bit more urgent than that...

"Something's going on," I quickly whisper to Alex as Trevor leaves. "Tess and I both felt something. Someone like us, in danger. A boy. We need to find him."

hey guys so sorry, but everythings got me so confused but im gonna give it a shot,

Maria

*Hey Maria can we talk* Max asks me mentally as I wipe the tables.

My mind is somewhere else right now, but I pause for a second and realized Max was connecting with me.

As I'm about to answer back Tess comes up to me.

"Maria we need to talk." She says I nod ."So I hear." I say

[KatnotKath]

~Alex~

The normal conversation keeps up for a few minutes and then Max asks Trevor to grab a paper to check the listings. I know what he’s doing… It’s a tact that’s been used before… Getting rid of Trevor, without ‘getting rid’… I know that Max doesn’t like doing it… None of us do for that matter. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he doesn’t know the truth about Max and the others, so basically this is the way it has to be…

It used to be the same with Kyle and I of course….before we found out. That’s a long time ago now though, and I’m glad we don’t have those secrets anymore…

As Trevor gets up and heads over to get a picture, Max leans over quickly fills me in on what’s happening. Like them… Even though Max wasn’t that specific, I know what he means and I nod. “We will...anything I can do to help, just say…” I tell him quietly, trying not to make it look like we’re having a secret pow wow or anything like that. If what Max has said is right, we really could do with getting rid of Trevor…the question is, how…?

[isabelle]

*Max*

"Thanks, Alex, Kyle," I say quietly when they offer their help. They're both good friends and I wasn't expecting anything different, but it's still nice to hear it. "We'll let you know." I tell him.

Right now, I don't have the faintest idea how to find this guy, but I hope we'll get some clues soon. So far, all I know is that he's nearby and in pain. But now that we know he's here, maybe we'll be able to get some more information, somehow.

I glance over to where Maria and Tess are talking and I'm guessing most of that is silent. Maybe Maria's felt or seen something that will help give us a clue.

Trevor is already heading back in our direction, so there's not much more to say. It would be so much easier if we could talk to Alex and Kyle telepathically, too. Trevor might wonder about strange pauses in our conversation, but we'd be able to keep our friends in the loop without fear of being over-heard. But we've never tried that. We've always assumed it was something we could only do among ourselves. After all, I've never 'heard' any stray thoughts from Kyle or Alex. Although I guess it's still possible they could hear us... assuming they weren't too freaked out... Maybe we should try it sometime...

Trevor arrives with the paper and spreads it out across the table.

"Hey. We could go see 'Hostage.' That'll be a great action movie." Kyle suggests.

I shake my head, smiling. "I don't think there's much romance in that. The girls will probably want to see 'Hitch', " I comment, laughing as Kyle makes a face at me. "Hey, I'm only saying that's what they're gonna want."

I look over the rest of the listings, seeing one or two that might qualify, but mostly thinking about this person who needs our help, and how we're going to find him. And, of course, how we get rid of Trevor. I have one idea for that, but maybe I'll save it until we actually know what we're going to do, first...

“I’m sorry, I should have known. I should have been there to help,” Liz says, and I crack a small smile. We all seem to be thinking the same thing.

I reach out to grab her hand squeeze it lightly in reassurance.

“You don’t have anything to be sorry about. You’re helping now.” I let my eyes close and relax against the soft cushion of the seat.

*More than you know,* I continue in a hushed tone to her. *You couldn’t have known any more than I could. What would you have told me if I said I should have seen this before it happened and been able to avoid us from traveling down this path? Something like, ‘Cammie, you can’t prevent all the bad things that happen from happening. You don’t have that power. No one does.’ Dad told me that when I was little. It’s true for all of us.

*In hindsight we think that we should have seen something, felt something, done something different to change everything for the better, but it might have changed things for the worse. We don’t know, and we never will. All we can do is go forward. And we are. We’ll get him back, Liz.*

Now if only I can keep myself from dwelling on the same thing that I hoped I got Liz to stop thinking.

~*TESS*~

I help Maria clear the dishes off the table so it won't look wierd that we are just standing next to each other, talking silently, and then I reach out and connect to her telepathically.

* Have you felt at all weird today? Like something was going to happen? Or something wasn't quite right? Cause Max and I have and I think we need to talk about it *

[Dominicana]

Maria

* Have you felt at all weird today? Like something was going to happen? Or something wasn't quite right? Cause Max and I have and I think we need to talk about it *

*Like what should I be looking for, Life isn't that normal, but is it something to do with trevoR, you think I should dreamwalk?* I answer back to tess.

Trevor really bugs me out for some reason.

~Liz~

It’s nice to see Cameron smiling…although the emotions I can feel don’t exactly fit with that… She gives my hand a reassuring squeeze, and I close my eyes again, biting my lip in concentration as I work to get rid of the last traces of the ache I took from her.

As Cameron tells me I’m helping now, I’m pleased, and allow myself a small smile. That’s what I want, to help my family, and friends… That’s why it is so right that I’m the healer of the group…my mother says…

I allow myself to drift for a few moments, but I’m pulled back as her voice begins to sound in my head. Calm and reasonable – the last things she feels at the moment I am sure – but she manages to relate things much in the same way as our parents likely will soon enough.

She’s right of course, but sometimes it just doesn’t seem that easy to accept… We all know that there are things which we can’t prevent, that we simply have to react to, but that doesn’t mean it seems right… We have all these powers, and yet sometimes, protecting our friends, and family, is beyond us…

Some things are meant to be, and it’s not our place to change them… I remember my mother’s words after a friend of mine at school was in a traffic accident… We were walking home from school, and apparently the guy driving the car had a heart attack or something… He veered off the road, and onto the pavement… Julie and I both tried to get out of the way – I succeeded, she didn’t…

I wanted to try and help her when we went to the hospital later, but Jessie reminded me of the limit to what I can do… Her injuries were just too severe… She died a few days later, and if I had done anything, the same would have happened to me without a doubt…

That didn’t stop me from blaming myself though…which I did for a long time… I didn’t understand why something like that would happen… I’m not sure I do even now…

But Michael is going to be okay…we are going to get him back! I tell myself, repeating silently Cameron’s words. We’re going to save him, we are! I repeat over and over in my head, trying to block out all the negative thoughts and concentrate on positive thinking…

*You’re right Cam…We’ll get him back!* I respond silently, adding to myself, ‘we have to…’
