Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Get out. Breate. Get out. Breathe. Get out. Break free. Breathe. Breathe. Get out. Breakfree. Get out. Escape. Live...
He pushed out of his pod, one arm twisted tearing the thin membrane and the liquid rushed out disappearing across the floor. He broke through the remainder of the membrane and landed on the cold floor. He shivered as his warn skin touched the metal. He rolled over and his eyes wandered his birth place. There were three other pods like his, two of them were broken and long cold and the third was still forming. A small creature inside it floating.
His hands pressed to the floor as he slowly stood up, he felt a cold draught coming from one of the walls and he could barely make out stars. He took one last look at the cave and climbed out into the desert.

She pulled her belt out and Michael moved, he couldn't run. There was no where to run.
"You little freak!" hissed the woman dressed in a fine black suit. She had pudding down her front. A bowl lay on the floor near an upturned table and the spoon was covered in cream.
"I sorry! I sorry!" he cried "I don't do it gain!" he cowered in a corner
"Damn right!" she said before swinging the belt round hitting him in the back. He howled in pain and tears ran down his face as she beat him. When she was done she straightened her clothes and tried to brush off the desert that had ended up on her. The pudding and cream landed on his bruising cheek, he whimpered hard before she cleared her throat and looked to a window
"He used his powers. Bring in the scientists" she said menacingly "He really is one of those... things" she spat at him before leaving the room.

He could see their footprints in the sand, they had been here but they were long gone. Something told him to keep walking, he had to be with the others. He felt so frightened and alone. He heard a rustle in the bush and turned to see what it was. He looked round and couldn't see the cliff he had come from. He was lost! He spun round again, whatever was out there knew he was there and was toying with him. He broke out into a little jog, moving faster than his slow paced trek. He reached a metal fence and looked back in fear before trying to get through it. He cut his leg and his shoulder on the barbed wire. He heard something bark and he ducked under and continued running. He stood on the smooth black path and wondered why it was different to the path he had been walking on, he didn't think about it too long because a coyote jumped out at him. He fell back and raised his arm, the beast howled as it was blasted. It landed down and ran off whining in pain. He clambered to his feet, he didn't like this place! He should have stayed at the cave! He saw light like the ones above him but they got bigger and bigger. A car pulled up in front of him, the door opened and it had the FBI logo on the door.

Six year old Maria Thomson pulled the blankets from her brother's bed. Her brother was ten years older than her and a pain in the butt
"Justin!" she whined "Just'n!" he jerked awake and looked around
"Huh? What? What's wrong Ria?" he looked down at her "Mom gone again?"
"I dunno. I had a bad dream can I sleep in bed with you?" she asked. She was wearing one of his shirts and it was down to her knees. His mom had been gone for a few days and he didn't expect her to be back any time soon. She was too busy with her "special projects". He pulled the covers back onto the bed and held them open for his baby sister to climb in. She grinned and ran out the room. She came back a few minutes later carrying Huggy Bear, Piggy and her favourite teddy he had won her at a fair. She shoved them into the bed and then climbed in after them. Justin shook his head and put his arm around her and all her Teds
"Don't let mommy hurt me again" she whispered and he looked up at her
"What?"
"In my dream mommy was hurting me. She was so horrible, I didn't mean to spill the pudding"
"Hey Ria Chia no one is going to hurt you as long as I'm around? Okay?"
"Ok Jusin" she said as she curled back up into him. Ten minutes later Ria was fast asleep. He climbed out of bed and stood by the window.
Their mom was an FBI agent, his grandmother had been a kind and caring sixties flower child. Amy Thomson, however rebelled against the free love and peace for all her mother raised upon her. She took the role of her father and began a Federal Agent. She was dedicated to her work, she barely knew that she had a daughter. Justin looked to his sister and felt a parental stirring inside him. He had practically raised her, it was no wonder it was he she came to when she had bad dreams. It was he who had her booster seat in the back of his car. It was him who nursed her when she was sick. She sometimes called him dad
"Jussin" she murmured and he hurried back over to her. She stirred then woke up and began crying. He lifted her tiny form into his arms and held her while she cried.
"It's okay" he whispered
"I don't wants to stay here anymore! Please! Alquerque's bad! We hafta go way" she begged "Please!" she cried.
"We can't. Not without mom"
"No! Mom will take you way from me! Don't let her do dat!" she cried
"I won't Ria Chia" he promised her as he hugged her close. She winced and he looked down at her. Her cheek was cut "Who did that to you?"
"Nothing I fell" she lied "No one did it. I fell"
"Did mom do this?"
"No I fell over. She didn't hit me wit the belt" she said. Justin sighed. He would do anything to protect his daughter...
He put her down on the bed and pulled out his case from under the bed. He began shoving clothes into it as fast as he could, he pulled open his top draw and took the tin out placing it on the top. He opened it and grabbed the wad of notes. It should be enough to get them to the next town.
"Maria... we're going to go away for a while. Okay? We're going to go to Roswell and stay with some of my friends from Football Camp?"
"Okay Justin"
"It'll be okay" he said as he shoved the wad into one of his socks. He hurried to her tiny box room and pulled out her clothes and carried them to back to his room and just shoved them into the case before he zipped it up tight. He pulled his shoes on and tied the laces quickly then he found Maria's shoes. They were behind the toilet as usual. He shoved them on and thanks god that some people had enough sense to make kiddie shoes with velcro.
"We're going to only be able to take three teddies. You can put Huggy Bear and Piggy in my backpack and I can carry Terry Eddy"
"Okay" she nodded. He grabbed his backpack from by the door and dumped the contents out and shoved her two favourite teddies inside. He carried that and the suitcase out to the hall and set them down as he pulled her coat on and fastened it up against the cold. He pulled his on and carried the case out to the car. He shoved it on the trunk then carried her out and fastened her into her booster seat. He took one look at the family home and backed out of the driveway. Maria just smiled
"Don't worry Michael. We're coming" she whispered as she wiggled her toes.

Jim carried his cup of coffee across the darkened hall of the station. The light had gone out and Hanson had forgot to get extra bulbs from Garisons. He paused outside his office door, someone was inside the room sitting in the dark. He sat his coffee down on the little cabinet and pulled out his gun before opening the door. He switched the light on quick and found someone sitting in one of the chairs opposite the window
"Aah" he groaned as his eyes adjusted to the light "Hanson? I'm just waiting for Mr Valenti. I told you"
"Justin?" he whispered not really believing his ears. The boy stood up turning round at the same time
"Dad!" he gasped
"Justin? What are you doing here?" he asked. He hadn't seen that boy since He was ten. When Amy walked out of his life he took her eldest, she had left his baby boy crying in his crib and just left. She had been a cruel and uncaring monster
"Dad I need help. I've been trying to make it for the past few years... since mom died"
"Amy's dead?"
"I think so. I don't know. She was gone for a long time... she didn't come back" he said, he hoped that the Sheriff believed his lies
"Christ. I knew she was a walk out but I never thought she'd do it twice. Why didn't you come straight here when she left?"
"Well usually she came back. I didn't really know what to do Dad... and there's something else. Wait here" he said before disappearing outside. Jim followed the boy to the main reception and saw him go to a rusty old car and pick a little girl out of a booster seat in the passenger's side.
"Oh god he's got a kid too" he sighed as Justin carried the little girl inside. She was fast asleep resting snugly on his shoulder
"Dad I want you to meet Maria... my sister" he said with a warm smile
"Your...?" he trailed off "How old is she?"
"Six. Mom started going off when she was a baby, she barely knows that she has a daughter"
"That means she was pregnant when she left me... All this time and I never knew" he whispered
"I think that mom did come back when I wasn't there. I was busy working and she must have hurt her. As soon as that happened I knew it was time to get out of there. I wouldn't risk her safety anymore" Jim sighed
"You did the right thing Justin. Do you remember where my house is?"
"Dad? It's me, remember I was born there" he stated, his lip turned up smugly "It's the only true home I know"
"Good. I want you to go there. Nancy Parker should be babysitting Kyle and Liz for me"
"Liz?"
"Oh Liz is Nancy's little girl. My son and her daughter are the best of friends" he explained "Don't worry, I'll call ahead and tell her you're coming"
"Thanks dad. For this. As soon as I got a job and some money coming in I... we'll get a place of our own"
"Maria could-"
"No" he snapped "She's staying with me" Jim was taken aback by his son's raised voice. Something must have really made him question his sister's safety. Justin just looked down defeated
"I'm sorry. I guess I'm just tired. It's been a long drive and an even longer night" he walked off weakly like he had lost something precious. He fastened Maria back into the car and then drove off.

***

"Jussin" he groaned he didn't know where he head heard that name or how he came to know it but it gave him a warm feeling. Like the owner of that name would protect him at any cost. He opened his eyes and was met with bright flooding white light. He covered his eyes and sat up looking round
"Justin?" he tried again more firmer this time. He climbed to his feet and realised that the desert was gone now and he was in a white sharp cave. A cave that had creatures that would hurt him and he had no way to fight back and protect himself. He would only have to wait for Justin to come and stop them. A whirring noise rang through the white cave and suddenly one of Them Creatures were coming towards him. It was the Her creature. The one of Them that hurt him the most!
"You little bastard!" she hissed, he tried to scury away but she grabbed him by his short hair and pulled him. A table was brought in and he was fastened to it
"Justin! Justin! Justin! Justin!" he shouted higher and higher until she backhanded him
"Shut up if you know what's good for you" she warned him but he didn't understand. He whimpered against the sting of his cheek, it was still cut where she had got him the other day. A doctor came in carrying a metal tray with the needle and little bottle of serum they pumped into him
"Try draw out our memories will you. You won't be going into anyone else's heads anymore" she hissed as the doctor stuck the needle in his arm and injected him
"No! No! Justin! Ah No! Justin!" he cried out.

***

Justin jerked awake. He was covered in sweat and breathing hard, he steadied his breathing and closed his eyes tight. He had dreamt that someone was calling out to him. It was almost like Maria but stronger, stronger but still so fragile and breakable. He had this uncontrollable urge to help the person, the voice sounded so pained and frightened.
He reached for his clock and came into contact with a lamp instead, he glanced to his bedside cabinet then realised where he was. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and got out of bed. He trudged through the house to find Maria standing on the coffee table in her little panties and nothing else. The suitcase was open on the floor and clothes scattered about
"I showin Kye my clothes" she said
"That's nice. Put a shirt on before you catch a cold and Kyle's your brother" he explained and her eyes went wide. She shrieked and ran for the bathroom. He just chuckled and Kyle peeked his eyes over the end of the couch
"So you's my big bruva?" he asked and Justin nodded
"Yep Justin Thomson at your service"
"That's what my dad does. Protect and service" he explained "Whys yous gots a different name than me? I fought ya were my bruva?"
"Well I have our mom's name. I'm not sure about taking your last name. We could always go with our gran's family name. Well then I'm Justin Deluca. That's Maria Deluca and we're your brother and sister" he smirked
"Does Maria like football and ruf and tuf games?" he asked
"Nope. She sings, in the shower in the bath, when we make cookies and cake"
"Yous make cookies and cake! Can I make cookies and cake?"
"I don't know. Can you sing?"
"Tha hills are awive wit the sounda moosic!" Kyle wailed and he chuckled
"Yep you'll do. We always sing when we make cookies and cake"
"But... But that's girlie!" he whispered
"Yeah but it's fun and then afterwards we can eat the good stuff" he said. Jim came out of the bedroom and pointed to the bathroom
"Maria's crying... I don't know what to do" he said, Justin hurried over and opened the door letting himself inside
"Hey Ria Chia what's wrong?"
"Kyle... He saw me... he saw my boobs"
"Ria. You're six years old you haven't got boobs yet" he explained
"Yes I have! Everyone has them!" she replied
"Do you want me to get your Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and help you get dressed?"
"Okay? Can yous get tha pants wit tha things at tha bottom too?" she asked and he nodded. He turned to leave when she said something "Michael likes it here. He likes coming here better than home. He likes you but he's so sad. When are you going to get him away from Mommy?"

Justin sat in his father's office rubbing his chin. He wasn't sure how to deal with this. Jim Valenti knew that his wife left him he just didn't know why. If he revealed the fact that it was to become a FBI Agent... then he could send them back.
Jim walked in with a file and slowed to a stop when he saw Justin sitting there with his face in his hands
"Justin?" he said loudly, Justin stood up quickly and the chair fell down
"Dad I..." he trailed off in a sigh "I shouldn't be here" he walked to the door
"Is there something you wanted to tell me?" Jim asked and Justin stopped. Valenti could seen an internal battle behind those eyes "Is something... wrong?"
"Dad... Mom is an FBI Agent... she-"
"What!" he snapped
"Dad please let me finish"
"She's an FBI Agent. You've known this all this time, christ she could send you to jail for what you've done! Technically you abducted a child and you put me in the middle of it. I think you should take Maria back home"
"But dad!" he began
"But nothing. Maria is Amy's daughter, in Amy's care... it's out of my hands. I don't even know if I'm on her birth certificate!"
"I won't take her back to that place. If you push me I'll take her so far away that mom will forget she even had kids!"
"Justin..."
"No I know what she's doing. I won't let her hurt Michael anymore"
"Michael?" Justin looked up surprised
"I meant Maria..."
"Did... Did Amy have twins?"
"No... that's why I was here. But you didn't want to listen... you want me gone, fair enough" he walked out. Jim turned around to stop him but it was too late. He was already gone.

"I don't understand. We've pumped him with enough Serum to kill an adult alien. Why is he still getting memories and images from us?" asked Agent Amy Thomson. James Pierce Senior turned and looked at her, he smirked coldly
"He's not getting them from us Amanda. He's getting them straight from them"
"He's going into my kid's heads!" she gasped
"I never thought you were the sort to have kids"
"I have two. Both of them give me trouble, the Girl is spoilt and he complains too much, bit of a pussy if you ask me"
"I think we should bring the Kids in. If he's connecting or responding to them then I think it's best if we have them here"
"You are clever but I'm not sure my eldest will co-operate"
"Is there any way we can make him?" he asked and Amy nodded smirking coldly
"Oh yes. There are ways" she replied before looking back in on the young boy still tied to the table.

***

Justin pushed the cafe door open quickly and hurried over to Maria. He picked her up and gathered her things up
"Jussin!" she whined
"We have to move on" he said "Dad might call mom and we could have to go back"
"No! I don't wanna go back"
"I know. I know that's why we're going someplace no one knows us"
"But what about Michael?" she asked and he paused
"I don't even know if there is a Michael" he replied
"Justin" she whispered. He turned to look at her, she put both hands on his temples and flooded his mind with images. He gasped as he saw everything she had been given. When she let go he sat back down and breathed slowly
"She... god damn" he said, he turned to look at his sister "I'm sorry" he whispered and she nodded as her eyes teared up
"We can't leave him" she said firmly
"I don't know what to do. Oh god I have no idea how to keep you safe and now there's another kid in the mix? Damn" he mumbled he covered his face with his hand and tried to hold back the tears. She patted his hand with her tiny one
"It's okay big bruva" she said and he wiped his eyes with his shirt
"I know. Thanks Ria Chia" he smiled. He gathered her up in his arms once more and stood up turning round to run into his mom. He backed away and spotted more agents behind her. This wasn't right, she didn't need this many to take him back home. Something wasn't right!
"Justin... come on. You have to come home, just come with us and everything will be okay"
"Stop talking to me like I'm the bad guy! I'm your son"
"You're assigning yourself with the threat that we have in our security"
"What are you talking about? Please just let us go! We won't bother you again!" he begged. She closed her eyes with annoyance then opened them again
"Get them" she said. The nameless agents grabbed them.

***

Maria opened her eyes and stretched out in the sunshine. It was a good bright morning for everyone in the state except her. She climbed out of bed and stood in front of the mirror. She could see the scars over her body clearly and when she turned round she could see them travelling up over her sides to her back. She sighed and touched the last one they had done to her. That was when they had given up on testing Justin. She padded across the floor and took the picture in her hands. It had been the last picture taken of them together. Back when she was six, he was only sixteen. He had his whole life ahead of him and it was taken away from him. Cut short by his own mother. She pulled on a shirt to cover some of the scars and then her tight hip hugging jeans. She grabbed a denim jacket and left her box apartment.
It had been nine hard long years since Justin's death and every day she relived it. After they had got all they wanted from her they handed her back to her mom. Amy had never looked at her the same way, she had been different. Tampered with by that alien creature... the poor boy didn't stand a chance. She wasn't quite sure what they did to him, but she was sure that he wasn't dead.
She walked down the street and people avoided her. Her skin was cold and her eyes ice blank, she pulled the door to the Cafe open and walked inside to meet the other three people like her. Different and strange.
She sat down at the table and pressed her hands into her lap, no one put their hands on the table. They had agreed long ago that they could connect if they did.
"Isabel. Did you have any dreams?" she asked calmly looking to the girl who had practically become her sister. One of them anyway, she thought before looking to Liz marked and scared the same way.
"No, he must have been drugged last night. I couldn't reach him" she confessed. Maria looked to Max, out of all of the people here Maria had lost the most. They all knew that and respected her, finding Michael would be the only thing that could save her. She had never cried, never grieved for what they did to Justin. She wouldn't... couldn't until she got Michael out.

Thank you all for the feedback! I really should have put more info into the last part but I was being rushed. I share a house with five other people and one computer is shared out. My brother wanted to get out to do his freaky deaky D&D stuff.
***

Justin paced the room, he had been stuck in a white room by himself. He couldn't even see the door. He reached part of the wall and heard something, he stopped and looked around
"Hello?"
"Justin?" came the quiet voice. He looked around but there was no one here
"Yes. Where are you? Are you Michael?"
"Yes am. Did yous stay help me?" he asked
"No. They brought me here... along with my sister. Is she with you?"
"Ria Chia?" he asked and Justin nodded
"Is she with you? Is she okay?" he touched the wall, he was sure that the boy was on the other side
"No she not here. Some place else" he replied
"Don't worry it's going to be okay it'll be okay" he tried to reassure him, himself too.

***

Amy and James Pierce watched with interest. James clapped her on the back
"Fantastic Amy. Those walls have be at least five inches of solid uranium and the walls have been sound proofed!"
"I'm glad that my useless brats finally have a cause worthy purpose"
"We should celebrate. How about we get one of the new agents to go out for Pizza?" he asked and she nodded
"Yeah that would be good. So when do we start testing"
"First thing in the morning. Let's let out little subjects get some rest first" he said before they both left the room.

"Why won't they stop crying!" cried Diane staring at the two children curled up next to each other sobbing wildly. Phillip just shrugged, they had been crying and tearful for the past two days and he had no idea why. Diane sighed deeply
"You don't think... that they miss their parents?" she asked, her husband turned to look at her
"I don't even think they remember their parents"
"Well they're both deeply upset and this is the only thing I can think of Phillip!" she snapped
"Maybe they miss the dog or their next door neighbours how the hell should I know?"
"Michael" they heard it at the same time and turned to them. Isabel had said it then Max copied her
"Michael. We's miss Michael and Riachia and Jussin"
"Who are they? Are they your family?" asked Phillip, they kids began to calm down. Their sobs gave way to short gasps
"Are they your parents?"
"Riachia like Isabel. Small" said Max "Michael like me and Jussin take bad lady way"
"Bad lady?"
"Riachias mommy" said Isabel
"Did Riachia's mommy hurt you?"
"No she hurt Michael. But we feel it and we's sad for 'im" he said and moved over and put his arms around her waist. Isabel copied him and they hugged their mom.

***

Jim didn't know what to do. He shouldn't have pushed Justin! He came home and their car was gone. All their stuff was gone and it was all his fault! He tossed his hat onto the table and kicked off his boots before pressing the answering machine button.
"Jim! Jim! There's all these FBI guys in the cafe!" came Nancy's shaky voice "They're taking Justin and Maria! They're taken them and Amy is here!" she cried "They've just kidnapped Maria and Justin!" Jim hurried over and grabbed the phone. He called the CrashDown
"Nancy? Nancy! I just got your message! What happened!"
"Justin and Maria were about to leave when Amy walked in followed by all these agents. She ordered them to grab your kids and they did and carried them off before shoving them into the back of a big white van. The kind they use when transporting criminals, she got into a jeep and had some guy drive her off. I think the FBI has your kids... something is going on" she said "And Justin and Maria are right in the middle of it"
"I'll be right over" he said as he hung up
"Daddy?" mumbled Kyle. He stood there in PJs rubbing his eyes sleepily
"We're going to go see Liz again. You'd like that won't you?" he asked as he pulled his boots on. If Amy was kidnapping his kids then he didn't want to leave Kyle alone or with a babysitter. He should have listened to Justin instead of treating him like some no mark punk. Either way he had to go help his kids.

If you've been able to keep up with this fragmented and jumpy fic then I commend you! But I warn you that there will be more jumps. I'm not sure I can pull it off. So I'll give you a little summary to keep you up to speed:
Michael has been captured and put in the White Room. He reached out in his mind to anyone who could hear him and Maria did. Because Maria was close to her brother she fed him that connect to Michael. Maria and Justin do get kidnapped but Justin, the stronger and older of the two, understands the connection more than Maria so they let Maria go. She believes that her brother has been killed and she swears that she will not let Michael into that same fate. She thinks of Michael as a brother because she has never met him. Don't worry that opinion will change!

***

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

He looked down at the teasing bottle in front of him, he always let go when he drank. He didn't care what they did to him, he felt like he had lost everything and when the pain came he welcomed it. It was a release from his own emotional pain.
They must be getting desperate, they left bottles of alcohol in here more often. He picked it up and threw it against the wall. They had killed his sister, she had been so innocent and they had killed her. His own mother came in with an evil grin on her face and showed him the pictures of her dead body. How could anyone be so cruel?
Justin blamed Michael, he blamed the boy so much because it was all his fault that they were taken in the first place. He had lost his sister because he cared and now he felt nothing. He would not... could not care about anything. Yet he remembered everything, it was at the back of his mind teasing him just like they did with alcohol
"Let me go! You've done every test under the sun! You've broke me just as many times as that! Please! Just let me go" he begged. The ten years of torture and pain crept up on him and he gasped out falling to his knees.

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

Amy scowled, she felt something and she didn't like it. Deep from her stomach a strange emotion was clawering at her. It was something she had forced herself to feel for a long time.
"It's over" she announced. In the ten years that she had held her own son here the Head Agent of the Special Unit had died and she had taken over. Justin was right, they had done every test on him. For ten long years they tested, poked and prodded him. They broke him in new ways each day and it had been enough
"Agent Thomson?" Daniel Pierce raised an eyebrow. He had been the apple of his fathers eye and twice as sharp as his daddy
"We've tested him for ten years. If the alien was going to talk to him he would have done it by now. Subject M2 had more of a connection to F1 than M3. I think it's time to let him go"
"Amy" snarled Daniel "This is my father's research we're talking about, we can't just let him go. Besides he knows about us! He'll tell people everything" she didn't like his tone so she grabbed the back of his neck and shoved him toward the window
"Do you even think anyone will believe that!" she hissed pointing to her son. A broken man lying on the floor robbed of his life, robbed of his family and robbed of his sanity. Pierce just sighed, his eyes tight and narrow staring at her with a mixture of confusion and respect
"I guess my father was right to get you into his life. I was twice as right to get you into my bed" he smirked putting a hand on her shoulder but she shrugged him off
"Not at work. We can play cops and aliens later" she said coldly before walking out.

I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Max jerked awake in his sleep, a scream rang out through his head. He could sense Isabel moving about in the next room and some how got the feeling that they had the same dream. The phone rang and he snatched it up
"Maria I know. I felt it too"
"Something's going to happen! Something is going to happen and it's going to be very soon" she announced out of breath. His door creaked open and Isabel peered inside. He nodded at her and she hurried over and climbed onto his bed
"Did she have another vision?" she asked, Max barely heard what Maria said next
"Jussin" he turned sharply as if to look at Maria but she wasn't in the room
"Did you just say..."
"Yes I did. I felt him, I can feel him Max. Close your eyes and do the same. I want Isabel to try dreamwalk him, we've never tried we just always believed he was dead"
"Oh god to think he's alive" he sighed "I think you should come over sister. None of us will be getting much sleep tonight" he said
"Ok" she replied before hanging up. Max put the phone down and looked to his sister. She pulled her knees up to her chest
"Maria wants you to dream walk Justin" he announced and a crazy look crossed her face
"Justin's dead Max! She saw it with her own eyes, everyone did that day" she stated and he nodded
"Yes but she can feel him. And... I can too. Just close your eyes and focus, he's alive. I'm sure of it. Something is going to happen today, she had a vision. She's coming..." he stopped speaking when they both heard a creek on the landing outside his door. He raised his hand at the door and it flew open revealling Phillip standing there
"Max? Isabel? What are you doing awake at this hour?"
"How much did you hear dad?"
"Enough to wonder what's going on and what's with all the midnight phone calls? That was Maria wasn't it? And why did you call her sister?"
"Dad... we can't ever tell you the truth so please drop it and just go back to bed" he begged him "We can't ever get you involved with this"
"Involved in what? Are you both taking drugs?"
"Dru- dad no!"
"Are you supplying drugs? Is that it? Coz we can help you, your mom and me can help you"
"Dad it's not drugs. We'd never get mixed up in stuff like that"
"Then what is it? And why does it have anything to do with that Punk Kid Justin who disappeared ten years ago after he kidnapped that woman's daughter?"
"Jussin wasn't a Punk Kid" snapped Isabel and Phillip gasped
"That name... I haven't heard that name in a long time. Justin was Jussin? You found him... did you find Riachia?"
"Dad what are you talking about?" asked Max, suddenly the window burst open and Maria fell inside breathing hard
"Sorry my dad was asking questions. I told him it was a Czechoslo- oh crap hi Mr Evans" she grinned up at him and he did not look best pleased
"We really need to sit down and talk about what's going on here" said Phillip sternly. Suddenly Maria sprung to her feet, the biggest grin on her face
"Can you sense him! Can you? I can sense him!" she cried
"You're right! He is alive!" cried Isabel jumping up to hug Maria "Justin's alive" then Maria collapsed and burst out crying
"Oh god his pain. I can feel everything they did to him... oh god my brother. What did they do to you?"

beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end

He stumbled through the darkness, still dazed and confused by how he was out here. His head swam and he felt dizzy almost ready to throw up.
They had pumped him full of chemicals before they let him go and he felt strange. Captivation had long been his home and now he was lost and confused. He had to get to a road, if he could get to a road then he could get to a town. Maybe even Roswell?
His head bobbed and he fell down on the ground. He looked up barely alive and saw he had indeed found a road. He groaned and his eyes fluttered shut.

***

"Hurry! I think he's starting to fade!" said Maria. Phillip pressed his foot down on the gas. After her ranting and shouting he had loaded her up in the car with his children and sped out into the desert. Isabel and Max held onto Maria's scarred hands while she looked around.
"Stop!" she cried and he jammed his foot down on the brake, the car skidded to a stop turning sideways on the road. They were breathing hard and Maria let go and jumped from the jeep. The others followed her as she raced along the road and closer to the desert. She knelt down and rolled her brother over. She could barely see him in the dark, she tried to picture him like she remembered but it was no good, Max was by her side and she looked at him expectingly
"Heal him Max" she whispered. Max looked up at his dad then back down at her. He put his hands over Justin's chest and they began to glow softly, Phillip gasped but remained still as his son worked. He let go breathing hard
"That's all I can do. I can't do anymore, we should get him to the car"
"Let's take him to my house. We can put him in my bed" she said and he nodded. Phillip helped his son carry him to the small jeep. Maria and Isabel climbed in the back and he laid Justin down over them. Max climbed into the seat next to him and he drove.
The drive back to town was quiet, and not as frantic as the drive out. Phillip kept glancing over at his son with confusion and respect
"So what are you?" he asked quietly. He was sure Isabel heard him
"We don't know" he replied
"That night when we found you. That was when you were born wasn't it?"
"Yes it was. We have no memory of anything before that night" he explained "You're different though. How can you do the things you do?"
"We're aliens. We know that much, we've just tried to survive. Other's like us weren't so lucky"
"Riachia and Michael?" asked Phillip
"What did you say?" whispered Maria from the back
"When Isabel and Max were little they wouldn't stop crying, they cried for two days solid and after that they began to tell us because they missed Riachia and Michael"
"Mr Evans... when I was little my older brother used to call me Ria Chia. Michael was someone that talked to me when I dreamed... he was the boy in the White Room"
"White Room?" Phillip raised his brow "That sounds..."
"It was where they held my brother all these years. They held me for a while after they did all these tests on me. That's why I have so many scars on me. They did this to me and I was human, god only knows what they did to Michael" she said grimly and Max looked out the window
"We shouldn't have left him" whispered Isabel
"What? What do you mean?" asked Maria
"That night, we were only a few steps ahead of him. If we had waited for him he would have been apart of our family and none of this would have ever happened"
"He was out there that night"? asked Phillip "I looked a good ways off but couldn't see anything"
"I feel-" she began but Max interrupted her
"Don't. I know what you're going to say and it's not your fault, don't think it is Isabel. What's done is done and it's unchangable"
"Our brother is right, we just have to get Justin home now and get him better"
"Maria, Max isn't your brother" said Phillip
"Michael is Max and Isabel's other brother and Michael is my brother. He reached out to me, he has to be close to me for that. There is something between us and that's what it is"
"Uhmmmaria" groaned Justin "Mari-maria"
"We have to get him back soon, he's burning up!" she cried and he fed the engine more gas as he flew past the Roswell City Limits sign.
A few minutes later they pulled up outside the Valenti homestead and Max and Phillip half carried, half dragged Justin inside.
Kyle and Jim were pacing the living room worried about Maria when she burst through the door followed by the Evans carrying Justin
"Maria! Where have you be- oh my dead god! Quick follow me" he said leading them through the house. They set him down on the large double bed in Jim's room. Kyle stood in the doorway, he could barely remember Justin because he had spent so much time with him but he knew this man here was his brother.
"We have to get him out of these clothes. Isabel! Go get a cold flannel to put on his head! Dad help me get him out of these scrubs" she ordered them about. Kyle just watched in horror as they pulled and tore clothing off bit by bit revealling fresh cuts along his skin. Old scars and dried blood
"What the hell happened to him?" Kyle whispered in fear.

He's gone. They let him go and I keep wondering why. They kept him here as long as me and I have to wonder why they didn't let me go too. From the few times I saw him I knew I loved him. He was my brother and the only person who truly gave a damn about me in this place. I wonder if I get to go home soon too? Maybe I can meet that girl, no not a girl. Girl is too short a word. She's beautiful and there is so much light around her, she gives off so much warmth I could just loose myself in it. Her eyes are so caring and understanding and even though she carries scars she doesnt let that affect her heart or her ability to love. I wish one day I could meet her so I can tell say "I Love You" she, apart from Justin, has been my rock. My strong point and the memory I cling to when things seem too dark to go on.
The lights flickered on and I squinted as my eyes adjusted to the brightness in the room, the door opened with a whirring noise and in she stepped.
"Good morning" she said "You know the routine. Take off the scrubs and let's go" she ordered and I did as she told me too. Never in all my years here had I just spoke to her, she hadn't asked me anything and for the first time I spoke without being spoken to
"Amy? Why did you let Justin leave?" I asked quietly. I didn't say go, this place wasn't something you could go from. You could leave it but it would never go away. She stared at me and I think I saw emotion in her eyes before she looked away. I let it go and didn't say anything else. I know that Amy was Justin's mother and in a way my mother too. Maybe I can leave soon too?

***

Justin's head lolled from side to side. Max had cleared all the drugs out of his system but not the effects. He was too late to do anything about that. He ran a high fever and neither Maria nor Valenti moved from his side. Max stood watch from the doorway and Isabel sat in the living room with Kyle and her father in silence. Phillip leaned forward and rested his head in his hands before sitting back and rubbing his eyes
"Isabel? What's going on... can't you just tell me?" he asked she opened her mouth but was interrupted by the phone ringing. Kyle got up and answered it
"Hello? Yeah Hanson. Really? When did she call? Call her back and tell them that they're here at my house" he said into the phone "Nothing's going on. We're fine. Maria... she called them and they came over. Nothing to worry about Randy" he said before hanging up. He came over and sat back down "Your mom called the station. She was a little upset about finding not only her husband but he kids missing in the middle of the night"
"I should give her a call" said Phillip "You don't mind?" Kyle shook his head and Phillip dialled home.

***

It had been so strange. So strange. It had all happened in a blur and I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. In all this time I never thought it would be her, she hated me. Hated her own children and I have no clue why she is doing this. She pushed me toward the door when the alarms went off and all hell broke loose
"Quickly! Run!" she shouted pressing her hand on the pad, the door began to open and she shoved me through it. Then she stopped still almost leaning on me, I turned around and saw Pierce standing behind her running with his gun out. He slammed his palm down on the control pad and I thought that was the end of it. No escape but it came up denied, Amy chuckled a bubbling bloody laugh before turning to me and calmly saying
"Go Michael. Go and look after my children. Tell them that I'm sorry for being my self" she whispered before she slumped down. I took off up the stairs and I ran clear across the large asphalt yard towards the fence. I caught some of my fresh scrubs on the wire fence and I heard them tear but I couldn't give a damn about them.
Then I was back on the road. Back where I had started out about ten years ago. I looked back then just started running. Maybe I'll get to see that Angel I love after all?

I turned then stopped. Not that way, it's not that way. I don't know what's leading me but I know I have to get to it. I'm my afraid of what it could be. I have lived fear and now I'm not sure that I can be scared again.
I've reached the city, I know it as Roswell and it's where the Angel lives. Maybe it's her that's drawing me closer? Maybe she is waiting for me? I move faster, every step gets me nearer to her and her waiting arms.
I stopped, my heart beating fast in my chest from running so hard so quickly. I can see the house she's in, I can practically feel her she's so close and I don't know where I'm getting the strength to stay still.
I can hear thunder over head and it begins to rain, I shiver coldly as the water hits me. I realise staying still is not an option anymore so I move across the road and around the back of the house into the little garden.
I hear a loud scream and I jump, I know that voice! I know who that is! It's my brother! Justin! I hurry to the house and wave my hand over a lock and pulled the window open climbing inside the dark room. I freeze when the door opens and light pours inside the room. Her light fills it up, fills every corner chasing away the shadows. I can see Justin standing behind her and he looks like he's been glowing too.
"Michael" they whisper. She knows who I am? She knows me? Oh I am lucky! I wish she would wrap her arms around me and I could fall asleep in her safety. She comes closer and I suddenly feel nervous, what if she does not like me? I have spent my moments thinking she was perfect, what if I'm not good enough for her? This Angel is way above me!
She stops in front of me and throws her arms around me and I just melt into her.

***

"Maria? Is he okay?" asked Justin, he couldn't believe to have his sister and now Michael was here.
"Yeah he's fine. I think he's fallen asleep" she whispered and he smiled and they dragged him over to the bed and all three of them laid down together.
Jim and Kyle stood in the doorway watching the three of them sleep. They had been through so much and finally they were all together. Kyle wasn't sure how to feel, he loved his sister and he didn't want these two new boys taking her away from him. He would stop at nothing to keep her safe from them.
Their thoughts were interrupted by a banging on the door, he left them in the room with one last glance before going and opening the front door.
Diane was on the other side and she flew in looking hysterical, she saw Max and Isabel and threw her arms around them
"Oh thank god you're safe!" she cried "Why did you take them off in the middle of the night!" she shouted at her husband "I was worried sick!"
"There is a lot we have to talk about" he whispered with a coldness in his voice "I've... seen things that you wouldn't believe"
"You know?" gasped Valenti
"I don't know enough to know what all this is!" he snapped "I know that Max and Isabel are involved in this and Maria is too. She's like them isn't she?"
"No she is human but she has a connection. I don't know what it is, or how it came to be there but she is connected to Michael"
"Will someone tell me what's going on? Who is Michael and what are you talking about?"
"Isabel and me are... we're aliens mom" he whispered from against her shoulder "We weren't born on Earth and we weren't even Born. We hatched from Pods hidden out in the desert and when you found us that night. That's when we were born..."
"When they were little remember how they used to cry for Jussin and Riachia and Michael?"
"Well Jussin is actually Justin Deluca. Riachia is Maria, they have a connection to our children" said Phillip
"And what about Michael?" she asked
"Michael was out in the desert with us the night we were born. He was a little back and we left him behind. He was found by people who wanted to test and find out why he was different. They tortured him mom, they would have tortured us too but you found us first"
"Where is... where is Michael? Is he okay?"
"He's asleep with Maria and Justin. The reason why your kids are here Diane is that they helped Justin break out of the White Room. Because he was connected to your children in an alien way they took him in. He's been there for the last ten years"
"Oh my god... Jim your son I had no idea"
"Well it's over now. We have them back and we have to do our best to make sure that they don't get taken again. If they find Justin or Michael or even Maria then they find Max and Isabel"
"And Liz" whispered Max "Last year Liz was shot in the cafe. I healed her when she would have died. She knows this secret too... healing her changed her. She's alien now too"
"Oh my god" gasped Diane for the second time. How could she react to something like this? How could she keep her children safe after she just found all this out? And then there was Michael, he was her children's long brother. Would she take him in? How could see treat them like her children when she knew this?
"Mom?" whispered Max, he could practically hear the cogs working in her head "We're still your children. Please" he whispered and she looked deep into his eyes. Aliens were monsters but her children were aliens, did that make them monsters? Looking into her son's eyes she could see the answer as clear as day. No, it didn't make them monsters. She hugged both of them close and sighed. She hoped that she had made the right choice.

***

Michael woke up sandwiched between Her and his brother Justin. She was sleeping so quietly and his heart leapt in his throat. Not only had she accepted him she had stayed with him while he slept. He had got his first nights rest in all his life. He didn't have to fear the next few hours and what they would bring. He could look forward to the morning because she would be there. He wanted to wake up next to her like this forever, he brushed a strand of hair off her forehead and kissed her lips so softly
"I love you" he whispered
"HEY!" he sat up startled when he saw someone standing in the doorway. The lights came on and he freaked out, he clambered over Justin and tried to get away. He could find no way out so he stood up tall as possible and tried to protect his sleeping family. His hands began to glow and the person backed off
"Stay away from my family!" he snarled
"Michael?" he turned and saw her sitting up staring at him sleepily. She slid off the bed and stood near him. She looked at the intruder and he stepped in front of her
"Stay away from my Angel! She's my Angel! All mine and I won't let you hurt her!" he cried. He stopped when he felt her hand on his shoulder
"It's okay Michael" she whispered cupping his face with one hand "This is Kyle. He's my brother, he won't hurt me. He's my brother and he's Justin's brother. Kyle is your brother too"
"No I'm not. He's a freak! I don't want that alien in this house! Aliens took my mom away and I'm not letting them do the same with my sister" he snapped. Maria glared at Kyle, if only he knew the truth about the mother he missed so much.
"If he leaves then I leave and I will never come back. I'm an alien too Kyle, I'm connected to them and I have more of a connection to Michael and Justin than I do with you. They are my family and you should learn to accept it" she said. He stormed off slamming the door, Maria flipped the light switch off and pulled him back to bed
"Let's get some rest" she smiled. He bit his lip while he looked at her then did something he had wanted to do since he first laid eyes on her. He kissed her...

Kyle sat at the breakfast table with a scowl on his face. Michael was sitting eating breakfast across from him and his little sister was in the shower. Justin was getting dressed in the clothes that his dad kept after he disappeared
"Morning dad" smiled Justin as he sat down next to Michael. He poured himself some cereal then tried to wrestle the Tabasco out of Michael's hand. He pinched him on the back of his arm and he let go, Justin doused his cornflakes then set the bottle back down on the table.
Kyle dropped his spoon with a clatter as the bottle slid across the table towards Michael's open hand, he jerked back afraid
"Don't do that you freak!" he snapped
"I was getting bottle back" he replied using the amount of English he knew
"Yeah well it's weird and I don't like it. My dad's is gone most of the day and I'm in charge" he snapped
"Ahum" coughed Justin "I do believe that I am... last time I checked I was twenty seven. Older than you my littlest brother"
"Littlest? I'm your only brother!" he shot back angrily
"No you're not. Michael is my brother too, he's Maria's twin"
"No he's not" shouted Kyle
"Yes he is"
"No he's not!" his voice rose and Jim walked in carrying his stetson
"What's going on here"
"Justin is saying that Michael is Maria's twin"
"Justin stop winding Kyle up. Michael is Max and Isabel's brother, not Maria's"
"Whose Maria?" asked Michael
"Riachia" said Justin and his mouth fell open. He shook his head fiercely
"NO! Nuh uh! Riachia is not my sister, she's my wife"
"What?" gasped Justin
"Riachia Angel, love me. Keep me safe from Amy and Pierce"
"Amy?" Kyle raised a brow "As in Amy my mom? Why would you need to be kept safe from her?" he looked to his dad who found an interest in the floor "What? What haven't you been telling me?"
"Kyle just drop it. Let it go okay?" Jim urged him
"Tell me!" he demanded as Maria walked into the room with a large smile on her face. It fell when she felt the tension in the room
"What's going on?" she asked and Kyle turned to her
"Why does that freak need to be kept safe from our mom Amy?" he asked with a sense of urgency. She looked round the room confused, what should she tell him? "Please" She caved when she heard his plea
"Amy Thomson was the FBI Agent who held me and Justin against our will. She's the reason I have... all these scars. She ordered scientists to do this to me"
"No" he said simply like it was all a joke. Maria stared at him as her eyes began to tear. She wiped them quickly "No that's just... NO!" he shouted "You're lying! Mom would never do that to you! You're making this all up aren't you? You liar!" he hissed before grabbing his coat
"Kyle..." began Jim but it was too late as he heard the door slam.
Justin picked up his coffee and stared at the door Kyle had just slammed, when the time came could he trust his biological brother?
"I have to go to work. I'll see you guys later, try and keep an eye on Kyle if he comes back. The numbers for Pizza are on the fridge"
"We know dad see you later" she said with a smile. She wiped her wet eyes as he left.

***

They had been watching TV for half an hour, all three of them sat next to each other on the couch when Michael began to tense. He bolted up off the couch and ran straight to the bedroom. Maria stood up and began to pace like a caged beast, green energy crackled up and down her arms and face then she looked up at the door
"Justin! Hurry! Quick run!" she cried before disappearing down the hall to the bedrooms. Justin stood slowly then turned round fast when he heard wood breaking. The door was at an odd angle and someone was stepping inside.
"No!" he gasped as his eyes went wide. He lifted his hand and bluish green energy shot out and got the intruder square in the chest

He walked along the street in a huff, he was furious! He couldn't believe that his mom... his mom was FBI... she had done all that stuff to her own kids! He saw the park and decided to go and think things over on a bench. All his life he thought that his mom didn't want him, that he wasn't good enough to have as a kid that was one of the reasons why he disliked Justin so much but Maria. Maria had spent the last ten years with them, she was his sister nobody elses! And now Michael was thrown into the mix, an alien. A real live alien in love with his sister and best friend, damn when Maria decided to date she did it all the way! Maria, the only person who understood him. His sister and best friend, if she could accept these beings no questions then he would try and do the same. He would do anything for her. He sighed and stood up then went flying, someone crashed into him and they both landed in the shallow pond sending the ducks flying. Kyle looked up into the panicked face of Michael
"Get off me you crazy alien!" he shoved him off into the water
"They got Maria!" shouted Michael, Kyle whipped his head round sharply
"What?"
"They take Maria!" he repeated
"Who take... took Maria. Who took her?" he demanded
"Them" he whispered

***

Justin struggled against his captors, they grabbed Maria from her hiding space in the bathroom, and now they had him
"Let. Me. Go!" he demanded kicking the soldier in the stomach. He made a run for it but someone grabbed him by his hair and pulled him back so he fell down and smacked his nose on the ground blood spurted out down his face and he groaned
"Get him in the truck" said Pierce with little patience. Some soldiers grabbed him and threw him into the back of a secured truck. Maria was inside and she pulled away from the guard holding her and knelt down by her brother
"Maria" he choked against the metallic tang in his mouth
"Shush it's okay. I'm going to get us out of here don't worry" she whispered
"Maria no" he groaned as he tried to sit up
"No just lie still and we'll get out of here" she ordered him stroking his hair. The back doors were slammed shut and she stood up turning to face the guard in the back. Fear flashed in his eyes
"Sit Down" he ordered coldly
"No" she replied
"I Said Sit Down" he repeated as he rose to his feet
"You can't kill me. You need me alive to do all your little tests, you'd loose your life if you kill me" she smirked, the guard hesitated and she lifted her hand. He pulled out a tranq gun and shot at her, she stopped it in mid air then flicked it back round at him
"Practice makes perfect!" she cheered. She grabbed the guards side arm and slipped it into the back of her jeans. Then knelt down next to her brother's shoulder "Hold still" she touched his nose and he groaned seconds later it was back to normal. He sat up and held out his hand
"Give me the gun"
"No I know how to fire these things. You don't"
"Yes but you're got more practice at the alien power than me. I need someway to defend myself" he explained and she relented handing it over to him. He slipped it into the back of his jeans and covered it over with his shirt
"You all set? Good. Let's get out of here and find Michael!" she focused on the lock on the door and it cracked open. She peered out and saw no cars behind them.
"We're going to have to jump" he said as he pulled the door open
"Are you crazy I'm not going to jump!" she shouted
"Do you want to end up back in the White Room?" he asked, she looked at him sadly then jumped from the back of the truck. He gasped, he never thought she would do it! He braced himself and jumped out too rolling on the road. He brushed the dust off and he gathered Maria up and the two of them took off back towards town. If they could get there then they would be safe for a while.

***

Despite Michael's pleading Kyle went back to the house to find FBI Agents crawling all over the place. He would give anything to see his mom again! He even dragged Michael back here in case Justin and Maria were still around.
The pair of them stood behind a car watching the agents raid through the house, he slowly began to stand when he saw a female agent standing in the doorway
"Mom" he whispered
"Kyle down!" begged Michael
"It's my mom!" he gasped he turned to look at Michael "My mom!" his shouting alerted Agent Pierce and he sent some guards round the cars to grab the shouting teenager.
Michael and Kyle were dragged kicking and screaming from behind the car and thrown on the lawn. Pierce kicked Michael in the stomach then turned to the guards
"You. Put that thing into the truck" he said pointing at Michael then turned to Kyle "and then I want you to use that as bait" the guards nodded and did as they were told. They shoved the two frightened boys into the back of the truck and locked them in.
