Michael and Valenti had only been gone for a few minutes when Isabel stopped rocking then stood up sharply, Tess had stopped pacing at the same time and collapsed on the floor
"Max? Max? Max! MAX!" Isabel began to scream "Oh No! NOOO!" she screamed and Alex rushed over
"What is it? What's wrong?"
"Max is... he's gone. Dead" she sobbed and he shook her
"No Isabel, Max isn't dead... he can't be dead... " he said trying to calm her down but it was no good Maria shoved Alex aside
"What about Liz?" she demanded but got no reply from her then she moved to Tess "Is Liz okay! Tell me!" she shouted as she shook the blonde alien
"I can't sense Max anymore. Max would die before he ever let anything to Liz" she whispered suddenly
"No" Maria bit out "Liz is not dead! They are not dead!" she screamed at Tess then slapped her "How dare you say they're dead! It's a lie! It's a horrible lie!" she began to cry "It's not true. It's not" Alex pulled her into a hug as she cried.

Pierce smirked coldly at the two subjects in their newly made rooms, he'd had these rooms made for long term stay; a decent sized bed, a wardrobe full of clothes. A desk complete with stationary and a up to date computer, between the rooms there was a perspex wall window. He watched them both begin to stir, they had been injected with memory inhibitors effectively cutting off any connection to other aliens. After running some preliminaries on Subject F1 he found genetic differences in her gene sequence code so he'd ordered her to be injected as well and now here she was in her very own room at the White Room base.
She opened her eyes and blinked and looked around, she couldn't quite remember what had happened or how she'd gotten here. There was a familiar name burning in her subconscious but she couldn't quite reach it, she was in her bedroom... it must have been her bedroom all her stuff was here. She looked around and saw a thin plastic wall in the middle of her room and on the other side was a room exactly like hers. She got out and went over to the window, there was someone in the bed still asleep so she tapped on the plastic wall
"Hello?" she asked then she saw him stir "Hello!" she called again and then he rolled over and sat up rubbing his eyes. He looked around the room then spotted her "Hello"
"Hello" he replied as he slid from the bed and walked over to the window "Who are you?" he put his hand on the window directly opposite hers and felt a warm tingling sensation he smiled at her
"I'm... my name is... " she began to think "Beth. My name is Beth... what's your name?"
"I can't quite remember?" he said and tried to search through his memories but couldn't because all he could remember was this moment waking up and meeting Beth. She ran her hand over the window near her face and smiled
"Is your name Phillip? Just something makes me think you're a Phillip"
"Yeah I think I am. I'm Phillip" he said smiling "Nice to meet you Beth, so you're my room mate" he said as he moved away from the window and sat down on his bed. She longed to be on the other side with him but this stupid window
"Yeah... have you... I think we just woke up for the first time" she whispered "I think we were just born" she continued and he moved back to the window "Are you my brother?"
"No I don't think so... I mean we'd know if we were brother and sister right?" she nodded then looked down at her paper dress
"I think we should get dressed now" she walked over to her wardrobe and began looking through her clothes then decided on jeans and a pale pink shirt. She got dressed and Phillip couldn't help but watch her, she was beautiful. He got dressed pretty much the same but instead of pink his t-shirt was blue. Beth watched him pulling his bed
"What are you doing?"
"Moving my bed near the window so I can be closer to you" he said then shoved it closer till it was right next to the window. Beth got off her bed and did the same till her bed was right next to his then she sat on it
"Want to play a game?" asked Phillip as he climbed on facing her
"Rock Paper Scissors?" she asked and he nodded and they began to play. Liz won two out of three before they stopped playing. Max lay back on his bed and stared up at the ceiling
"There's not much to do here is there. I wonder how we got in here" he said as she laid down facing him and her tummy rumbled "There's no window or door just walls"
"I'm hungry" said Beth "Are we going to starve? How are we going to get food?" she looked around then there was a whirring noise. They both jumped and backed up into a corner as part of the wall opened inward and in walked a creature in a white suit with black eyes carrying a tray. He sat it down on Phillip's desk then left
"What was that?" gasped Beth and Phil got up to go see what it was "Be careful" she cried as he made his way over to the tray. There was round bread with red and yellow stuff on it then Beth yelped in fear Phillip turned around to see the same creature in her room. He jumped over to his bed where she was cowering and stayed close
"It'll be okay. It'll go away in a minute" he said and sure enough the creature left leaving a tray behind it. They both brought their trays over and began examining what was on them before Beth who was really hungry took a bite of her pizza and nodded
"Tastes good" she said and they tooked into their food.

Michael lifted his hand and blasted Pierce, sent him flying back into the screen then the others came down Valenti picked up the gun
"This is one of mine" he said then moved some alien props out the way and saw Kyle lying there "No! No Kyle! No!" he pulled his son closer to him then looked up to the three aliens there
"Please help him! You have to be able to do something" he said "Please" Tess felt her heart break, he was touching her human side. He'd given so much to help them and the least she could do was try. She knelt down next to Kyle
"I'm not the healer so I don't know if I can save him but I'll try" she said as she put her hand over his bullet wound. She focused and began to fix the damage done by the bullet. She began to melt the metal into iron so it would travel into his blood and give him strength. Kyle gasped then looked up as Tess fell back and passed out
"What happened?" he asked as his dad was hugging him "What just happened?"

***

"Pierce is dead. We have to keep up with this, after Pierce Agent Bellows was in charge" said Samuels "Sir, do we carry on with the experimentation of Subjects M3 and F1?" he asked and Bellows smirked as he sat in the big chair behind Pierce's desk. He picked up the name plaque and tossed it in the trash
"Keep up the experimentation. I want all stats to be recorded daily" he said and the other agents left his new office. It was good to be in charge he thought as he leaned back and put his feet up. He was no head of the Unit and had two aliens in his care, he had it easy.

Coupling: Max/Liz, Beth/Phillip
Rating: Adult/Mature
Child walks down to the river's edge
And looks out as far as she can see
And draws each breath as if it were the last
And wipes away the tears across her sleeve
She can see where the river crawls to the sea
Like a baby into mother's care
Somehow the longing is so far away
The innocence so wasted and aware
And look at the child with the dream in her eyes
Holding it deep inside her
Thinking about Home... Home...
So much anger so deeply ingrained
Seemed a burden that was hers alone
She didn't think that there was anything wrong
With wanting a life that she could call her own
How could I explain? You would not want to hear
You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway
For you were too weighed down by your own fears
And look at the child with the dream in her eyes
Holding it deep inside her
Home... home... home... home...

Beth sat opposite Phillip tracing his face through the window, Phillip was sat the other side doing the exact same. Without mirrors they couldn't see what they looked like so they had to rely on each for a description
"You've got brown hair" said Beth as she moved her hand over the glass near his hair "But it's darker than mine, much darker. Your eyes are they're soft amber. Like the jem in that ring I found in my jewellery box"
"Your eyes are slightly lighter than your hair but your hair is chocolate brown. I wish I could touch your hair" he whispered she smiled shyly and ran a hand through it for him
"It's soft" she told him and he smiled
"I knew it would be" he replied "You're beautiful Beth. I wish I was on that side with you"
"I know" she sighed "I do too" she rose and yawned "I'm going to get changed and go to sleep now. It's late" she said even though she had no idea what time it really was. Phillip watched unable to tear his eyes away as she began to get changed. He finally averted his eyes when she took off her jeans and thought it was best to get some sleep too.

Isabel sat in her dark room rocking back and forth, the FBI pulled out and left them alone after Max and Liz had been declared dead. Now as she sat there she had no idea what she would tell her parents... her friends at school. She buried her head in her hands and began to sob she was so alone! She'd never been alone like this before and it robbed her of her courage and even the ice princess routine she hid behind; she wanted her baby brother home safe and sound not lying on some slab or dead by the side of the road. She didn't hear the door opening until light spilled onto her bed
"Isabel?" whispered Diane Isabel looked up not trying to hide her tears and run mascara "What's wrong?" she asked as she came further into her daughter's room and sat on the bed
"Mom" she sobbed and threw her arms around her mom; how could she tell her?
"Oh Isabel? What ever is the matter? What's got you so upset and why are you sitting in the dark?" she pulled back to look at her mom
"M-Max is... Max is dead" she stuttered she couldn't even meet her mom's eyes fearing what she would see if she did
"What?" Diane couldn't believe what she'd heard "Say that again"
"Mom Max is dead" she repeated Diane pulled away from her with her mouth hanging open then rushed to her son's room and found it as dark as Isabel's and nearly as empty.
"Max!" she called hoping he was in the bathroom or the kitchen; when there was no reply she rushed to find Phillip "Max is missing. Isabel keeps saying he's dead" she cried panicked. Isabel stood on the stairs watching her parents react
"He's dead mom and dad. Max is dead and so is Liz Parker... I don't even know how they were killed" she whispered "We think they might have been shot"
"Isabel stop it!" Diane cried "Where is he?"
"We were in an old abandoned silver mine waiting for them to come. The last thing I said to Max was 'clothes' they came after us... we found Maria's car. Liz was driving and the back window was shot in... I can't sense Max anymore"
"Isabel what is going on?" asked Phillip "Who came after you? Are you in danger? Is Max is danger?"
"NO! You're not listening to me!" she shouted "Max and Liz are dead!" she fell silent when the lights flickered and a lamp popped "Max wasn't human... Max was an alien and so was I so is Michael... we don't know where we come from or why we're here but people in this government group think we're here to hurt people. They were the ones who took Max, we got him back but they killed him... Max is dead"

Part 2B, something went wrong before and I couldn't post all of my part.

Phillip watched Beth sleep and smiled, he meant it before. She was really beautiful. He could watch her for hours and that's what he had been doing for the past three hours she'd slept. He didn't know why he wasn't tired or why he suddenly felt boredom creeping up at him. He glanced at her one last time before rolling over and standing up. He went over to his desk and sat down, he stared at the thing sitting there; somehow he knew it was a computer he just didn't know how he knew. He switched it on and it greeted him with an emotionless electronic voice 'Hello Phillip' he glanced over his shoulder briefly to see if the annoying voice had woken Beth, it hadn't, so he continued through till he started a game of cards. He began playing solitaire and began to loose himself in it not noticing Beth to start tossing and turning in her bed...

Run. Get Away. Find Safety. Run. Run. Run. Protect. Jump. Protect. Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. Dead...

Beth jerked up in bed and looked around before she screamed, it was so shocking and surprising that Phillip knocked his computer off his desk with fright. He whirled around and raced over to her
"Beth! Beth! Beth look at me!" he ordered "It's okay! You're home! You're safe" she slowly turned to look at him and stopped panting hard
"There was so much water Phillip... and she was so scared but she kept running. Max she kept running until the bridge, they drowned" she whispered Phillip didn't notice what she'd called him instead he put his hands firmly against the glass
"You're safe. I'm hugging you and I won't let anything happen to you" he whispered she nodded and closed her eyes biting her lip "Beth?" she opened her eyes to see his hands glowing then they stopped glowing she carefully reached up and pressed her hands over his between the glass. Her heart stopped when she felt warm skin against her own, she put her other hand up and the linked fingers through the holes he'd made. Then buzzers went off and they both jumped with fright. Several of the white creatures came into their rooms and grabbed them pulling them away. They were pulled out of their rooms past a man standing there shouting
"Get that window fixed! Up the inhibitor dose! I don't want the subject using his powers again like that!" Phillip focused on him, this wasn't right. Suddenly he knew that this wasn't right, they weren't meant to be here like this. He struggled then calmed when he saw Beth looking as terrified as he was. He reached out for her hand and when they touched silver light travelled from his skin to hers. In that second he got a flash from the dream... it was Beth. She was kissing him before the water... Beth had loved him, he had loved her.
They were shoved in a room and Beth raced over to him and threw her arms around him
"Oh My God I can't believe I'm actually touching you" she whispered "That I'm hugging you"
"Beth... look at me" he ordered her, she pulled back and looked into his eyes in that instant she knew that they weren't meant to be here. She could feel his feelings and knew that they had a life outside these walls.
"Don't worry we'll find a way to remember" said Phillip smiling "I remembered some of your dream" she blushed and bowed her head. He tipped her chin back and kissed her softly "Get some sleep Bethany" he tucked her into his arms and they both began to drift off.

"Who are you?" asked Kyle and Valenti looked up at his son surprised
"What?"
"Huh?" he asked dumbly
"You just asked me something" said the older Valenti man
"I did?" Kyle replied confused
"Yeah you just asked who I was" he said leaving Kyle dumbfounded Valenti shook his head and went back to his paper.
"Wait! Where are you going! Come back here! What's your name?" he stood up and walked off down the hall. Valenti watched confused and a little worried as his son spoke to himself "Where are they taking you! Hey! Let her go! Leave her alone! Beth!" he shouted Valenti got up and went to see who he was wrestling with. It was the mop, he'd gotten himself in the broom cupboard
"Kyle?" he put his hand on his shoulder and Kyle jerked in surprise "Whose Beth?"
"She's the dreamer" he said without thinking then looked around "How did I get in the broom cupboard?" Tess came down the hall and looked at them
"Is this some silly human tradition? Hiding in the closet? I never really got the whole in the closet thing but now I think I do"
"Kyle was talking to himself"
"I wasn't I was talking to Beth" he corrected his father and Tess looked at him
"Beth? What a weird name for a girl" she said scowling "I think Emily is better for a girl and Phillip for a boy" Kyle shook his head
"Nick for a boy and Beth for a girl" he corrected her and they began arguing over it. Kyle followed Tess back her/his room saying that Beth was a better name than Emily.

I'm going to work in that Kyle and Tess can feel them because they're "new" aliens. They can sense aliens because Kyle's only coming into his powers and Tess has lost the connection to Max so she senses Phillip and Beth. Isabel and Michael don't sense anything because Michael's poor with his powers and Isabel's a nutcase over loosing Max.

MagickFantasy86 wrote:HA! Emily and Nick. I think Nick is a wonderful name. This is really interesting. I'm rather intrigued about the whole Kyle having the connection to Max and Liz and not any of the other aliens. And since Kyle is starting to get powers, does that mean we'll be seeing them in Liz too, or was that the whole silver flash thing being transferred from Max to Liz. Anyway, more please!

Kyle will be connected to Tess as well as Max and Liz. Liz will develop powers but like Max she won't know what they are or how she got them. She will just come to accept them and later on use them for the escape

Beth opened her eyes to the harsh bright light and realised she was back in her bed. Alone. She sat up noticing she was back in her similar room, but it was smaller and the window was gone. Her bed was back where it was when she first woke up. She couldn't see Phillip anymore, she tossed back the blanket and rushed to the white wall where the window had been and banged on it
"Phillip!" she screamed as she paced up and down the wall "Phillip!"
"What?" she froze and turned around to see Phillip sitting up in the bed in the corner. She rushed over and jumped onto his bed wrapping her arms around him
"I was so scared I'd lost you" she whispered as she buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"I'm right here" he replied "Your safe" he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to lie down. He put the blanket over her and they curled up back to sleep.
Agent Bellow watched them from the Obs window facing into their room before turning round and going to the Obs window of their main room, the window was being fixed and another sub room was being added for the third subject. Subject M4 was an exact duplicat of Subject M3, they were running the tests on him and keeping him under, he'd been involved in some soft of road accident and they'd patched him up as much as they could and shipped him here. Once they'd finished the testing they were going to stick him in with the other subjects.

***

Kyle was sitting at the table bored out of his mind, his dad had gone to work and Tess was watching TV whilst doing her nails. He got up and stalked into the living room and flopped down on the couch next to Tess he went to grab the remote but she moved it without touching it
"Hey no powers!" he hissed "There's a game on the other side and I want to watch it!" he snapped pointing at the TV then suddenly the channel changed and it was the game. Kyle grinned "Thank you"
"I didn't change the channel Kyle" whispered Tess staring at him wide eyed he shook his head and began to laugh
"You had me for a minute there!" he said patting her head
"No Kyle! I'm telling the truth! You did something to the TV!" she repeated trying to make him believe it
"It's impossible! I'd have to be an... Oh My God" he gasped holding his hands out away from him as he stood up he looked at the TV and pointed his hand at it shaking
"Off" he said and the TV switched off and he went pale "No! No! This is not happening to me!" Tess got up spilling her nail polish on the table and came over to him
"Kyle... Kyle it'll be okay. You just have to..."
"Get away from me!" he shouted pulling away from her "You did this to me! Oh My God what have you done to me?" tears filled up in his eyes and Tess felt her heart break. Kyle could feel her sadness and knew he was the cause of it. He tried to ignore it but that was all he could think about, he went over and wrapped his arms around her as she cried
"I'm sorry" he whispered then pulled back, she was so beautiful even with unshed tears in her eyes. He leaned closer and she made no move to stop him, their mouths pressed together and then flashes started of two people lying together in a extremely white room. They were content but clueless to who they were or how and why they'd come to be there. Kyle and Tess immediately recognised them as Max and Liz but they could sense they had different names... that they weren't Max and Liz... the kiss ended and Kyle looked at her confused and a little turned on
"What was that?" he asked
"That was Phillip and Beth... Max and Liz... they're alive" she told him "They're alive Kyle! I'm calling Isabel!" she rushed to her/his bedroom to get her phone "You call Maria and Alex and I'll call Isabel and Michael!" she shouted from the bedroom.

***

Isabel heard the phone ring but ignored it, she had lay in bed for the past few days since the FBI had pulled out and they'd lost Max and Liz. It didn't stop ringing and something inside her told her that it was important. She reached across and picked up the phone
"Hello?"
"Isabel? Max and Liz are alive" came the voice she knew as Tess "They're alive and in the White Room. Come round to my house, Kyle's calling the others. Max is alive" she repeated and Isabel went pale. She dropped the phone and still in her pyjamas and stringing hair she raced down the stairs grabbed the keys for the jeep and almost ran into her mom
"Isabel? What's wrong?" she asked seeing her daughter in tears once more Isabel looked up with tears flowing down her face and the biggest grin she'd ever had
"Max is alive" she said Diane pulled the keys off her and the two women went out to the Jeep "We're going to Valenti's, Tess said we're meeting there" she said, she didn't really care that her mom was coming with her or that she would find out she was just happy Max was alive.

***

Maria and Michael arrived together, he had his arm around her as they made their way into the Valenti homestead, they had no idea why they'd been called here but they were told it was extremely important. They sat down and waited for the others to arrive. Alex arrived next followed shortly by Diane and Isabel, Isabel raced in and hugged Alex then Maria then Michael then Tess then Kyle then went back to Alex and kissed him hard
"Whoa what's going on?" asked Alex as Isabel wrapped her arms around him, she leaned close to his ear
"Max and Liz are alive" she whispered and he pulled back
"What?" he looked confused "Is this true? How do you know? Can you sense him again?" Maria and Michael looked around in confusion waiting for someone to let them in
"Max and Liz are alive" said Tess "They're in the White Room"

"What do you mean they're alive and in the White Room?" demanded Michael angrily "They can't be! I thought Isabel and Tess lost the connection to Max?"
"We did... in a way" said Tess trying to explain it
"Did you loose the connection or not?"
"I lost the connection to Max's mind but not to Max himself. I passed that connection onto Kyle after I healed him" she said "Kyle's... changing" Diane watched in confusion. She knew that this had something to do with him being different, was this Tess girl like him too? Were they all like him? Kyle held up his hand and it glowed green, it should have freaked her out but it didn't. Deep down she knew that it was something like this so she'd been expecting it.
"They've done something to Max to make him think he's someone else. Someone called Phillip" she explained "They have him and he's in The White Room. We have to get him out" she said
"With Pierce dead we don't have any clue who we're going up against or what they've done to change the security?"
"We can't leave him in there! He's not a pin cushion Michael!"
"I know that! He's... he's my brother. I'm not going to let him suffer, we need to come up with a plan. What can Nasedo do? Can he get us in?"
"I don't know. I tried contacting him early this morning but I haven't heard back from him. Maybe he can infiltrate as the Head of the Special Unit? We need to find out who that is" all eyes turned to Isabel
"Can you do anything to contact Max?" asked Kyle curiously. Isabel pulled out her purse and got the picture of Max out
"I can try" she said smoothing the picture out and leaning back against the couch. After a few minutes she opened her eyes and shook her head "I can't get in. I can't get into Max's mind, either he's not asleep or this is all wishful thinking" Tess looked at Kyle
"Hold Kyle's hand, take him into the dream world and try and contact Phillip through Kyle" Alex moved out the way and Kyle sat down next to Isabel and they lay down and went to sleep.

He opened his eyes and saw that he was in a seperate room, his old room, once more. Beth was lying in a bed still asleep and there was another window and another bed but he couldn't quite see who was in it. He slid from bed and paced his room, he felt charged electrically they had seperated him from Beth. He needed to be with her, they'd cut him off from her!
"Max!" he jumped suddenly and two people were standing in his room; a blonde girl who looked really sad and a dark haired boy who looked confused and indifferent. The girl rushed over to him and wrapped her arms around him
"Thank God you're okay!" she whispered, he took hold of her and pushed her back
"Uh who are you?"
"It's me! Isabel! Your sister, don't you remember?"
"I don't have a sister. It's just me and Beth"
"No! No! Max! Try and remember?"
"My name isn't Max, it's Phillip and I have no idea who you are"
"Don't you remember? Please? Playing basketball on weekends with mom and dad? Monopoly after dinner? Liz? Do you remember Liz? You love Liz, you would sit in... in the CrashDown after school watching her? Remember? Please!"
"No. I don't remember any of that" he said then the boy walked up to him and punched him hard
"Kyle what are you doing?!" Isabel screamed the entire room began to change Phillip looked around in confusion as he was sat with a spiky haired boy eating onion rings and watching a girl who looked like Beth in a stupid green dress. Isabel and Kyle stood outside and watching
"The only way for him to remember is to force a memory on him" whispered Kyle the gun went off and they both jumped with fright, Liz went down and Max got up. He knelt down next to her and then they made the memory vanish. Max looked around and saw Isabel and Kyle, his head hurt but he could remember things, then he realised where he was
"Oh My God. It's the White Room! Help me! Get me out!"
"Max tell me whose in charge" Isabel demanded and Max looking through his mind
"Bello, Agent Bello. He was giving orders he must be in charge! Please! Get me out of here!"
"We're trying Max" whispered Isabel then hugged him before they vanished.
Isabel and Kyle woke up sitting up away from each other, Isabel turned and smacked Kyle
"If you ever punch my brother again I'll put you in the White Room" she hissed
"It worked?" asked Diane, everyone had forgotten about her being there. Isabel nodded
"Yeah we need all the Info we can get on Agent Bello. He's the one in charge" she told everyone

***

Phillip sat up in bed then realised where he was and screamed, he had some memories of being Max and others of being Phillip. Who was he? All he knew he had to get him and Beth out of there immediately!

His eyes fluttered open and he was blinded by the white walls of the room. He was in a big decent bed and the room was filled with teenage stuff. He moaned in pain pushing the blankets back to pull up his shirt revealing a large bandaged wound. What happened to him? Where was he?
"Phillip. Look! He's awake!" he looked around for the voice and spotted a brown haired girl staring at him through a large see through partition
"Who are you?"
"My name is Beth" she said then glanced over her shoulder to Phillip. She was beginning to worry about him; after waking up he'd ignored her and she couldn't help but feel hurt "There's another boy who looks like you. I think you are his brother" he struggled from the bed and moved to stand near Beth then he spotted Phillip sitting on his bed ignoring everything around him.
"Who am I? How did I come to be in this place"
"You don't remember your name either? We woke up and couldn't remember but we remembered our names. Try and think" she said and he looked away trying to recall his name
"Mann, my name's Mann. I remember" Mann said then nodded at Phillip "Is he my brother?"
"He must be, you look exactly the same"
"And who are you? Are you my sister?"
"No... no" she replied certain "I belong with Phillip..."
"My name isn't Phillip!" Phillip shouted suddenly rushing to his window to Beth "And yours isn't Beth! It's Liz!" he shouted interrupting her "My name is Max! I have a sister called Isabel! Don't you remember? The CrashDown? Your parents? The Shooting? LIZ!" his door opened and in rushed several men in suits and one in white. They grabbed him and shoved him down on his bed "What are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? Nooo!" he screamed and Beth stood there horrified
"GET OFF HIM!" she roared throwing up both hands to bang on the partition they began to glow and the man flew off him slamming into the wall. The plastic see through wall shattered and Beth run over to help Phillip up. Phillip blasted each one of them till they moved no more then he blasted the wall seperating Mann and Beth
"Let's go" he said as he wrapped an arm around Beth and pulled her to him. Mann nodded and the three of them took off out the door and down the corridor.

***

Nasedo watched as Bello in the obs room before he transformed into Isabel. She had told him that he trusted her appearance even though he remembered nothing, he pulled open the door as the three of them rushed along the corridor going the wrong way
"Max!" she shouted and all three stopped and looked at her "Quickly! This way!" she took off down the corridor and they followed her. The four of them ran paced the scanner and up the stairs into a large hall full of machines and steam. Isabel pointed up the stairs
"Go! Up the steps then up the ladder there should be others waiting for you" she said
"Isabel come on!" Phillip shouted but she just smiled and began to glow. When the glow faded he was looking at a face that shot through his mind and made him scream
"Go. I have business to take care of" he said and Phillip scrabbled up after Beth and Mann.

Michael and Kyle were standing at the top waiting for them to come out, they jumped when they saw a hand reach the top Kyle grabbed for it and pulled the person up to reveal Liz. Michael helped Kyle pull her out then reached in for the other person behind her. Max.
"Where's Nasedo?" Michael demanded peeking down in the to see another Max coming up, he guessed was Nasedo. He pulled him out then the two led them to the jeep and drove off.
Beth reached for Phillip and he wrapped his arms around her safe, he wasn't sure if he'd gone from the fire into the fryer but all he knew he was out of the White Room. They were going to hurt him
"Who are you?" he demanded and Kyle turned in his seat to look at him
"How's your jaw Max?" he asked with a smirk
"So you were really in my dream. Am I... am I this Max guy? Maybe it's him? Maybe he's Max? My name is Phillip, it always has been" he whispered like he was realising it "You've got the wrong guy"

***

Isabel paced as Maria watched her, they were all on edge. The door opened and everyone froze as Michael and Kyle came in followed by Max, Liz and another Max.
"Oh my God! Liz!" cried Maria as she ran over and hugged her best friend "Are you okay? Come sit down, don't worry it's over now" she said pulled Liz away from Max. Isabel was hugging Max who held himself stiff in her grasp before pushing her away
"Get off me!" he hissed grabbed Beth's hand and pulling her away from the girl who talked too much.
Tess stared him up and down as he craddled Beth then pushed past Alex and Diane and stood in front of them
"Beth and Phillip" she said
"You know who we are?"
"Yes I do. Don't you remember your first name Phillip? Or your full name Beth?"
"It's Bethany" she said looking at the blonde with trepidation
"No... it's Elizabeth" said Tess "But we call you Liz. Phillip your first name is Max. Maxwell Phillip Evans and that's your mom" she pointed to Diane
"No! It's just me, Beth and Mann. It's always been us" he said
"They don't remember. They did something that made them forget, those monsters" gasped Diane. She snatched a photo off the mantle piece and thrust it at Max "Look!" she demanded. It was a family photo of the four of them
"That's me and my husband and my two children!" she said Phillip looked up at her then handed the picture to Mann
"I'm not your son" he said and she buried her face in her hands "We should get far away from here before they come and find us"
"They're not going to find you. It's over" they turned to see Nasedo coming in "The only record left is the one I have in my hands and it contains information about the serum they injected you with. You are Max and Liz but you have been given something that will last six months"
"Six months? So we really are... these people?" asked Liz and Nasedo nodded "What about Mann?"
"The Zan from the other set in New York"
"You mean there are more of us?" gasped Isabel
"Yes but they tried to kill him. They are not on our side, they're with Nicholas" he explained "Even though you don't remember I think it's best you stay here. Maria, Alex why don't you take Liz home. I'm sure her parents will be happy to see her"
"She's not going anywhere without me!" Phillip shouted
"Then I'll go with her" said Mann Maria and Alex led Liz and Zan out the house leaving the Royal Four and Diane alone.

***

Liz stared at the back door of the CrashDown with Maria Alex and Zan standing behind her
"I wish I could remember my family" she said
"One day you will, it's better than having amnesia. At least you'll get your memories back" Alex pointed out
"I'm not sure I want" she added changing her mind "I know stuff that made them want to kill me. What is it that I know?"
"It's not what you know, well it is sort of but it's what happened to you" said Maria "I was there that day" she said taking her best friend's hand and pulled her in through the back then into the cafe. She pointed to an area near the wall
"You were shot right there. Max saved you, you're different now. Like Kyle"
"That's how I... that's how I could do that thing in the White Room" she said holding up her hands. They heard someone coming down the stairs then the lights switched on
"Whose out there! I've called the Sheriff!" they heard Jeff shout, he pushed the swinging door open and froze lowering the bat in his hand when he saw his daughter standing there
"Liz?" he gasped in disbelief.

Beth turned around and saw a man standing there, something told her that she knew she must recognise him but she didn't, she couldn't remember who he was. Her eyes began to fill with tears
"My Lizzie" he whispered grabbing her and pulling her close "Where have you been? We've been so worried about you" he pulled back not letting go of her shoulders but far enough to see her properly
"I don't remember you" she confessed "I don't remember anything all I know is my name is Beth" Jeff felt his heart breaking. He looked up at Maria and Alex
"Do you know where she's been? Did you brind her back to me?"
"We can't tell you sir. We can't tell you were she's been, you can't even know. It's not safe" she whispered "We all learnt it the hard way" she scuffed her shoe on the floor then looked up trying to hide her tears
"We better get going. If... if Beth needs anything or anything happens call Kyle or Isabel okay?" she asked and Jeff nodded then put his arm around his daughter and led her upstairs.

"You can sleep here. I don't know about you Zan... um I could make up the couch if you want?" said Diane
"That would be great. Thank you" he said "But I'd rather stay with Phillip if that's okay"
"Sure but you're not going to be very comfortable sharing the bed" she said as she folded down the covers
"Zan can take the bed I'll take the sleeping bag" said Phillip as he unrolled it "I'm not the one they patched up"
"Patched up? What do you mean?" asked Diane and Zan lifted his white shirt showing the dirty bandages and gauze wrapped around his middle "Oh My God!" she gasped then grabbed his hand "I'm not letting you sleep like that! We're going to clean you up and put fresh bandages on you. Isabel!" she shouted her daughter to come down. Phillip smirked as Zan was dragged off.
Isabel came down to see Zan sitting there shirtless as her mom was unwrapping his dirty padded bandages
"Get the first aid kit. We have to clean him up right away" she said urgently and Isabel got the kit down
"Why doesn't he just heal himself up? If he has the same powers as Max then he should be able to and even if he hasn't we can get Max to do it"
"I can heal?" Zan asked confused
"Yeah, you should be a healer like Max. Max... Phillip healed Beth when she got shot in the stomach" she explained Zan put his hand over his stomach and tried to focus. He jerked hard and leaned forward almost loosing balance into Diane's arms. Then he looked up, Diane slowly peeled the bandages off revealing a large scar stretching round his side
"I...I couldn't heal all of it" he said breathing hard. Diane just rubbed his arms and smiled
"You did good. You did really good son" she said "I'm proud of you"
"Mom Zan isn't..."
"He's Max's copy... his twin. He will always be an Evans" she said to her daughter "Where else does he have?"
"So I'm Zan Evans?" he asked "And she's my sister and you're my mom?"
"Yes sweetie" she smiled "Come on I'll tuck you two in and let you get some sleep" she led him off leaving Isabel to clean up the mess.
The door opened just as she was putting the dirty gauze wrap into the bin and she looked up to see her dad back from the hotel. After she claimed that Max was dead he went away to stay at the Tumbleweed and dragged himself sleepily and painfully through work
"Dad" she smiled rushing over and grabbing his hand. He dropped his case and let her pull him up the stairs to Max's bed room. Max had already climbed into the sleeping bag and fallen asleep and Diane was tucking Zan into bed
"What? What? When did he come back? Why didn't you call me?" he asked staring at the bed he hadn't seen Max on the floor only Zan
"Dad... that's Zan and Max is asleep in the sleeping bag down there" she pointed to him sound asleep and Phillip's mouth dropped open
"What? How?" he gasped
"Zan is Max's twin brother. They can't remember anything before they... disappeared. Bad people took them because of who we are" he looked down at her she was teary eyed
"We're not human dad. We're alien hybrids" she confessed before she turned and went to her room leaving him staring after her in disbelief

Michael opened his door then closed it behind him and stood in the dark, he flipped on the light switch and felt dizzy. He felt like such a failure, not only had he let Max get captured but Liz and the other Max called Zan. He couldn't really believe that they'd got them out. He wasn't sure what to do now, did they just go back to their original lives? Had Nasedo freed them from the Special Unit? Was it over? He pulled off his jacket and dropped it on the couch before moving to his bedroom and switched the light on he jumped when he saw Maria sitting there
"How long have you been here?"
"Since I took Liz home" she whispered "My mom thinks I'm sound asleep in bed"
"Not that I'm against you being here but why aren't you asleep in bed?"
"Because I'm scared" she confessed as she stood up moving towards him "I'm terrified. They got Max and Liz so easily... I could have lost you..."
"But you didn't..."
"I could of" she hissed "I don't want to loose you Michael, even though we fight and... and we don't get along very well I know that you're it for me"
"You're it for me too Blondie" he said wrapping his arms around her "I don't know what's going to happen and I can't promise you forever..."
"Then promise me right now" she cried desperately "Give me right now" he nodded and undid her cardigan and slid it from her shoulders. She reached up running her hands through his spiky hair and pulled him down for a kiss before he slowly laid her down on the bed...

Nancy watched as Liz got dressed in the morning, she chuckled when she saw her little girl take out a dress, her work uniform, and look at it in disgust
"Uh why on Earth would I wear this? Please don't let me be part of some weird group. I'll hide it so my parents don't find out" she said to herself and was about to put it back in when Nancy walked in
"Liz?" Liz quickly put the dress behind her back "Um do you feel up to working today? Maybe getting back into your old routine will help you... help you remember?" she asked as she put her hands on her daughter's shoulders; heat burned through the material and Nancy scowled she put her hand to her daughters head "You're burning up. I'm going to get the thermometer" she rushed off and came back and jammed the thing in her mouth under her tongue
"Mom I'm fine" she said as Nancy took it out and shook her head
"No you're not... any hotter and you'll expire! I'm getting Jeff then we're taking you to the hospital!"
"Noo!" Liz screamed grabbing her mom's arm. The door slammed shut and the lights flickered "Please don't take me back. I'm sorry" she said as she began to cry Nancy wrapped her arms around and rubbed her back
"It's okay. It'll be okay" said Nancy trying to control her emotions at what she just witnessed. There was no doubt in her mind that Liz had been the one to do this but how? Had something happened to her while she was away? She needed answers and she was going to get them. She led Liz out of her room down the stairs and out to the car
"You remember doctor Martinez don't you Liz? We're just going to make sure nothing bad happened while you were gone"
"They gave Phillip something and I'm pretty sure they gave it to Zan and me too. Nasedo said that is stops us remembering who we are"
"Whose Nasedo?"
"The man who helped us get out of the White Room"
"What's the hell is the White Room?"
"It's a place where they kept us. Agent Bello was in charge and he was always watching us. They brought Zan in on the last time we were there" she explained "He looks exactly like Phillip" they pulled up at the surgery just as she was done talking.

Max and Zan sat around the table eating cereal with the others. Phillip was sat at one end and Diane at the other. Isabel was sitting across from them just smiling at them, she was happy that her brother was home and she'd gained another brother. Where had he been all this time? What would happen in six months when he got his memories back? Did he have better control on his powers? Why make them forget? What tests and weird things did they want them to do? Her mind ran a mile a minute until she stumbled onto thinking about what they were injected with maybe she could manipulate it into something else? She had always been good at manipulating molecular structures. She got up and walked around the table, all eyes were on her
"Isabel?"
"I'm going to try something" she said as she laid her hands on Zan's head. He stopped eating and went still. He could feel a connection to her as she began searching through his head; she spotted a little pool of liquid near part of his brain something inside told her that was it, she began changing it into iron and then moved it on into his blood stream she stumbled back a faint smile gracing her face before she passed out her job had been done.
"I remember" said Zan suddenly he stood up "I have to get back to New York"
"New York?" gasped Diane
"I have to save Ava. She's still there with them! They tried to kill me!" he growled as he put one hand to his stomach "They pushed me in front of that truck"
"Zan who..." Phillip demanded
"My sister Lonnie and my supposed best friend Rath"
"Zan don't go" Diane pleaded "Don't go back there if they tried to kill you"
"How on Earth are you alive if you were ran over by a truck?"
"I used my shield... if I hadn't I'd be dead right now. I have to get get Ava, she's innocent and they have her. I promise I'll come back" he said then grabbed a jacket from the cupboard and headed out. Max was knelt down next to Isabel making sure she was okay he wondered what secrets lay inside his own mind? Zan spoke about a shield could he do it too?
"What did Izzy do to him?" asked Phillip
"She used her powers on him" said Diane as she knelt down next to Isabel and tried to wake her up
"Powers? What powers? Is she going to be okay?" he asked as Isabel came round
"Isabel and Max are aliens"
"I'm an alien?" Max asked confused then sat back "Well that explains a lot"
"So are Michael and their new friend Tess... apparently so are Kyle and Liz"
"And Zan too right? Do you know how mad this sounds?" he asked. Isabel stared at him with slitted eyes she reached up touching his slacks and changed them from black to pink then back again.
Suddenly Kyle burst in through the door with Maria and Tess behind him
"We have serious trouble! Nancy took Liz to the doctors surgery. If they take some blood like they did with you last time then it's back in the White Room for her"
"What?" gasped Max "What happened?"
"We substituted Alex's blood for yours. We're going to have use mine" said Maria as she turned pale. Kyle helped Isabel up off the floor
"Are you up to travelling?" asked Tess Isabel was unsteady on her feet
"No, I'll stay here with mom and dad. You just go, stop them!" she said Kyle leaned her on her mom and then the five of them took off in the PodSquadMobile known as Maria's Jetta.
Liz was sat on the bed wearing a thin paper white gown with Nancy sitting next to her in a chair with her attention focused on her daughter
"Beth!" Liz perked up when she heard Phillip calling her name she jumped from the bed but Nancy grabbed her arm
"Sit back down, I'll go see what they want" she disappeared out of the curtain.
She met four teens asking about Liz and how she was doing, she tried to calm down Max, Tess, Maria and Michael down she didn't notice Kyle slipping into the booth from the side
"Hey Liz, have they done anything yet?" he asked as he checked her arms for tracks
"No, we were still waiting for the doctor to come in" she said
"Good Liz we have to get you out of here" he said scooping her up into his arms and carried her back out the way he came "Put your head down" he told her and she did as she was told. He crept out to the car and slid her into the back then he got in the driver's seat and waited. Five minutes later the four of them came out Maria climbed into the front passenger seat Max and Tess squeezed into the back with Liz and Michael got on his bike. They sped off back to the CrashDown were Jeff was waiting.
He got up when they all walked in with Max carrying Liz, he took his baby girl from him
"Are you okay? Is she okay?" he demanded
"She's fine. We got her before they did anything, if they find anything out about her then they'll take her away again" explained Tess "Any cells or blood and it's all over"
"What do I tell Nancy?"
"Try tell her the truth but you have to be sure that you can trust her" said Maria "We've been sure that we could trust each other, we were forced into this together... she doesn't have to" Jeff thought about leaving Nancy. He'd do anything to protect her, even from her own mother. Nancy walked in through the front and marched straight into the back finding everyone standing around with Liz in Jeff's arms
"So you're behind this? Liz is sick! And you're stealing her from people who can help?" she hissed
"They can't help Liz! This is normal for her now!" cried Tess
"What do you mean?" everyone exchanged glances. How far would Nancy be accepting?
