Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Na na la la la na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Now your gone, now your gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now your gone, now your gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere your not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same noo..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same oooh...

Nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah
I miss you

Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne

He watched and waited. Waited for the right time to get in. The buzzer rang and they got up with sighs of relief as they filed away to get their lunch. He opened the window and slipped inside, he landed on the cold floor with an oompf and clapped his hand over his mouth due to the smell, it was of death and formaldehyde he wondered how people could work in a place like this! He hurried over to the metal fridge and waved his hand over the trays till it glowed. He pulled the tray out and curled his fingers around the body bag, with one hefty pull he yanked it off the tray and it landed on the floor with a thud. He felt his stomach turn, he gathered it up prayed he wasn't to late. He shoved it through the open window then climbed out to the van he had borrowed. He put the bag into the back and then drove off back to his new apartment.
He'd cleaned up, since the whole Roswell deal with Tess and Lonnie. Lonnie tried to get into her head but Tess fought back and destroyed her, he ducked out of the blast just in time. She believed that they were both dead so that was what she told him. They left and didn't come back. Now he was on the straight and narrow, he was his own person and yes he was stuck on this rock he better make good use of it. He got himself a nice place to stay and got a job working with computers, they were so simple and easy to fix. But here he was lugging his best friend's dead body back to his apartment. He carried it up the stairs as fast as he could trying to avoid running into any neighbours, he slammed his door shut and laid it out on the floor. He set the healing stones up around it, he had no idea that Roswell had a set too. He had found it under Max's bed but said nothing to Lonnie. He unzipped the body bag and closed his eyes to see Zan like this. He picked up his healing stone and began to focus, within seconds there was a flash of light and Zan was alive again. It had worked
"What happened?" he breathed, he could barely speak because he was so weak.
"It's okay Zan. You're okay, you're just really sick"
"Where's Lonnie and Ava?"
"They're gone. Ava left and Lonnie died, she got sick too but I made you better"
"How come you didn't get sick?"
"I was trying to find Ava" he lied, he couldn't quite bring himself to tell Zan the truth, not yet at least. He pulled the body bag away from Zan's naked form and evaporated it.
"Where are we?"
"We're home. Don't worry this place is better than the sewer. It's nice and warm and we don't have cops barging in all the time" he grabbed the blanket off the couch and wrapped it around his weak friend "Don't worry Zan" he said as he looked at the wall "I'll help you get better, it's okay now. It's just the two of us and I'll help you get better again" he promised, Zan lifted his weak wrist and grabbed hold of Rath's shirt before falling asleep.

It was a long week as they rebuilt Zan's strength, he could barely speak after being dead for so long. He was so tired and slept a lot, Rath became a total recluse while he looked after him, he fed him when he needed it and washed his hair for him. He even held him while he shivered at night. After a few days Zan began to talk more and he could sit up by himself and feed himself with out Rath's help
"Rath... where did I go? When I was sick?" he asked quietly and Rath looked at him surprised
"You didn't go anywhere Zan. You were right here and I was waiting for you" he said and Zan just nodded with a sigh "I have to go out now. I have work"
"Work? You work now?" smirked Zan "When did this happen?"
"Well someone has to pay for this place and the food you eat fat ass" he said without humor as he grabbed his backpack up and slung it on his shoulder "Will you be okay while I'm gone?"
"Yeah yeah I'll be fine..." he said looking away. Rath opened the door when he heard him "Rath... I love you" it took everything in his heart to say it. He knew he had gone to a really dark and frightening place and he knew Rath had put him there and Rath had saved him by pulling him back. Rath stared at him for a moment before walking out and shutting the door behind him. Feelings of guilt and anger for what he'd done washed over him, if Zan knew the truth of what he'd done then he wouldn't be so quick with the 'I Love You's'

***

Zan carefully walked about the big apartment they shared and he thought about his sister and supposed wife, he did miss them but not enough to hound his thoughts. He still had a heart to trust Ava like a sister but when he thought of Lonnie he just thought of deceit. He believed Rath when he told him she was dead and he hated his feelings of joy over that little fact. She was his sister and no matter what she did he must have loved her, if not in life then maybe in death?
He made his way to the bedroom and laid down on the large king sized bed they shared. It was the only bed they had and Zan was too afraid to sleep alone. It almost reminded him of the nights they spent in the sewers growing up, there was only one bed and four of them to it. Rath always did make him feel safe. Ava would lie in front of him and Rath behind and Lonnie behind him, that was the way he was used to it and now that hadn't changed. It just wasn't right and he couldn't sleep unless Rath was snoring away loudly.
Zan fell into a restless sleep, he felt exhausted after walking from the kitchen to the bedroom. It was a small job but took up a lot of his well preserved energy.

***

Rath came back and dropped his bag down near the door and slid the deadbolt in
"Zan?" he called out as he moved further into the place. He checked the kitchen then the bathroom then moved to the bedroom and found Zan whimpering in his sleep. Rath pulled off his jumped and kicked off his boots as he moved closer to the bed. He tugged his jeans off and slid on next to Zan
"Zan? Are you okay?" he whispered almost afraid of what would happen if he woke him up. His fingers gently touched his shoulder and Zan jerked, his eyes flew open and he shouted with surprise he didn't have the strength to sit up but the light overhead popped raining glass fragments over them
"Damnit!" cried Rath as he waved his hand getting rid of the glass. He flipped the light switch off so there was no more power to the dead bulb. He could hear Zan crying softly in the dark and he instantly regretted ever bothering him. He moved back to the bed and Zan grabbed handfuls of his shirt pulling him close, he wrapped his arms around him and rocked him while he cried
"It's okay. It's okay" he repeated he looked down at Zan in the darkness who looked broken and unfixable even by alien powers
"The dark scares me. I'm afraid that this is just my last wish and I have to go back there. I don't want to go back there, please I love you" he begged and Rath shook his head
"You're not going anywhere. You're staying here with me, remember I promised you I would be there for you" he whispered. Say it god damn it! His mind roared at him just tell him, he needs it "Coz I love you too" he hated to lie to him but he just couldn't not. He had screwed up so much with him and he owed him that much. Zan sniffed and rubbed the wetness from his eyes. He stared at Rath for a moment before leaning forward and softly brushing their lips together. He closed his eyes in defeat as the bed moved sharply and Rath was no longer holding him. Zan's fingers wrapped around the pillow as he began to cry once more, harder this time because this felt worse than that dark place.

Rath sat on the edge of the window and stared out at the city he had called his home all his life, he could hear Zan struggling to walk to the window but he did not move. His mind was going a mile a minute trying to figure out what he felt. He only moved when he heard Zan stumble, he turned and caught him in his arms
"Thanks" whispered Zan. Zan had changed, softened, probably because of the fact that he had died and wasn't as invincible as he thought
"No problem" he replied as he set him straight and returned to the window
"I'm not sorry for what I did. I'm never going to be sorry for that" he said clearly but Rath remained quiet, not a comeback in his head or a witty remark on his lips. It unnerved Zan to hear his best friend in utter silence "But I'm sorry that it hurt you"
"It didn't hurt me" he said softly "I just... I don't know. I wasn't ready for that I guess. I've just been taking care of you and I could forget it all while I was doing that. I could trick myself and make believe I was helping you because I'm the only one you have now"
"But that's not it is it?" asked Zan and he shook his head
"No" he said almost with a sob "It's not"
"It's late. We could just forget this and..." said Zan but Rath turned round jumping from his seat to face him
"I can't forget this! You've changed everything and now my feelings are just there. I can't run from them, the only way to make them go away is to deal with them and I just wasn't ready!" he snapped then levelled his gaze "I'm still not ready Zan. Not ready for any of this" Zan felt fear, he knew it was fear because this was the first time he'd felt it.
"What are you saying?" he asked terrified that Rath meant what he was implying
"Ava's in New York still. She's living in some dive and she's going to college if you can believe that. She always loved you"
"Please Rath" he begged and Rath stared at him hard
"Don't please Rath me. You were the one who changed things!"
"Please I won't do it again. At least let me get better before you send me away, I don't think Ava has the patience to deal with me like you do"
"Don't say that" he barked as he moved towards him "You should go, I can't... I can't" he was almost in tears when Zan reached out and took his head in his hands
"Shush it's okay. It's okay" he whispered as he pressed soft kisses to Rath's face "It will be okay" their mouths brushed together. This time Rath didn't resist. Even in his weakened state Zan held all the power over him. He slipped his hand into Rath;s and pulled him back towards the bedroom.

***

Ava was running late, really late, she almost crashed her bike into a lecturers car as she pulled up at the campus. She raced up into the building, shoved the door open and crashed into someone.
"Jeezus, man I'm sorry" she said as she began to pick up her notes she looked up at him then fell back in surprise
"Hello Ava" he said
"How is this possible?" she whispered before launching herself at him and hugging him tight "Oh I don't care! You're alive!"
"Careful" he said "I'm not the same as before yet. I'm still very weak, I just had to see you though. I am very unsteady on my feet"
"Oh I'm sorry. Did you really come all this way to see me? Where have you been all this time?"
"With Rath" he said and her face fell
"What?" she gasped "You've... been with him? Is Lonnie still alive? I have to call Liz and tell her"
"Who?"
"Liz is my best friend, she knows. She's in love with your dupe" she explained
"I see. Lonnie's dead. Why did you run away Ava?" he asked her
"I was the only one left, you were dead and Rath and Lonnie had been killed or so I thought" she spat "Why are you staying with him after what he did to you?"
"What do you mean?" he asked
"He killed you Zan. Don't you remember, the basketball and the truck? They pushed you in front of it and sped it up with their powers"
"What?" he asked his knees went weak and he dropped almost to the floor, she caught him and laid him down. He began to remember the argument with Rath. Then the truck "No!" he cried as he remembered it "Fuck!"
"It's okay" said Ava as he hugged him and saw Rath at the end of the corridor. She suddenly realised what he'd done. The bastard! He had brought Zan here so she would tell him the truth, he knew she would, and Zan would hate him like he rightfully should and then fall into her arms and live with her.

***

Rath was alone once more. The place seemed empty without Zan around to trip over a rug or need help to get out the bath. Even though he missed him he was glad he was gone. Zan shouldn't be with him, he should be with the Queen. They would have never worked. He moved from the living room to the bedroom and pulled the pillow he slept on close, Zan was gone and it was how it should have been but why did he miss him so much? Why did he feel like it wasn't quite right? Why did he crave him? He could picture Zan sitting in the bath with a sleepy look on his face, he had sat on the floor to make sure Zan didn't fall asleep in the tub. Zan had been so open with him there, he even jerked himself off right in front of him. Rath was quiet as he just watched. That was some of the memories that came to mind. God how he wanted him! But it was over now. He heard a loud bang at the door and wanted to ignore it. He knew it was her, coming to shout or have a go at him.
"Rath open up!" he heard Zan's voice and got confused. Why was he here?

He opened the door and found Ava was the one who did the banging. Zan was leaning on her small frame and he was awfully pale
"He got worse after you left" she said as he took Zan into his arms and carried him through
"Rath... Rath I'm scared" he sobbed
"Ava get the healing crystals. They're at the back of my wardrobe in a black drawstring bag!" he ordered and she hurried off to fetch them.
"I don't want to die. Not like this, not with this over us" whispered Zan as he gripped Rath's shirt for dear life
"You won't just hold on!" he said as Ava slid into the room and landed on her knees. She handed him the bag and he pulled them out then lined them around Zan's head and handed one to Ava then laid Zan down on the floor. He grabbed a crystal and shoved Ava to the other side of Zan, some of the neighbours had come out to see what all the banging and shouting was. They peeked in and saw the strange ritual, old Mrs Herbie stuck her head in
"Is everything okay duckies?" she asked "Oh dear is your boyfriend sick? Should I call an ambulance?" she stood there waiting for a reply, something deep down in both of the aliens told them that her question was directed to Rath.
"We're fine Mrs Herbie, just doing a little magic" he said as the crystals began to glow. Energy bolts crackled out from the crystals as Zan rose up off the floor, he gasped as the crystals swirled for a moment then Ava and Rath began to glow then the energy bolts hit Zan and made him jerk up sharply. He felt life being poured into him, enough essence to be bound and bonded to both Rath and Ava. He had been waiting for this moment all his life, strange he had been so close to dying when he found it. Mrs Herbie just watched in awe as the healing ritual took place, she had never seen anything so incredible. She could see the love shining in both Ava and Rath's eyes and it was all for Zan
"Is he okay now?" she asked, Ava pulled her gaze away and looked at her with a smile, she just nodded and Mrs Herbie closed the door behind her as she left.

***

The three of them were curled lazily on the bed, Rath behind him and Ava in front. Something had happened during the healing and they believed it was permanent, Ava was rubbing circles into his shoulder and Rath's hand lay on his hip. She slid her hand up to cup his face and press a soft kiss to his mouth, he sighed when he felt Rath's hand slid off his hip to rub the front of his jeans and press a soft kiss to the back of his neck, he didn't know which way to turn. He was just crushed by desire, it had him in it's grip and it wasn't letting go. Good he thought as he felt a leg slide between his and he sighed, Rath was pressing closer and he could feel Ava's small hands on his jeans trying to undo them. Rath's hand slid up and he felt his fingers creeping into the undone fly for the prize inside. Ava let him go and watched the two of them moved together, it seemed right and even though she should be angry or jealous or a million negative feelings all directed at Rath she wasn't. Zan whimpered and it was a maddening sound, a sound that begged her to join in, she helped him sit up and take off his shirt while Rath still stroked him.
He felt like a rag doll, being pushed about this way and that but he had never ever felt so good in his life. He gasped when he could feel Rath's mouth on his shoulders pressing hard kisses that left him hungry it almost burned inside him. Ava was taking her clothes off now, she grabbed his hand and molded it round her breast before kissing him again sliding closer. He felt strong hands wind into his hair and pull his head back sharply away from Ava
"My turn" whispered Rath before shoving his tongue forcefully into his new lovers mouth. Feelings were crashing over and over inside him, he had no idea where to turn so he just sat there and let them do what their bodies cried for them to do.
Small hands travelled up his thighs and he felt a warmth breath so close to his aching dick. Ava tugged at his jeans and he lifted his hips to let her pull them down. He was naked now, Rath was the only one still fully clothed, he'd have to do something about that then he thought as he turned the tables on Rath and rolled above him stradling his waist. Zan grasped the cornball shirt Rath had taken to wearing since leaving Lonnie and ripped it clean in half down the middle. Ava helped pull off his boots and socks then they moved and unzipped his pants. She felt nothing for Rath but if it helped Zan, if he needed Rath like that then she would do nothing to deny him that. He could feel Rath shaking beneath him, so much had happened; things that he thought he'd never forgive and feelings he never thought he'd feel
"I... I want to make love to you Rath" he whispered, Ava silently understood that this was about them tonight. They needed to get their trust back with each other and if they did this then Rath would never betray Zan ever again. She quietly slid from the bed and curled up on the comfy bean bag under the window. Rath nodded then reached up to stroke Zan's cheek, Ava could see that they had both changed since the whole summit fight thing. Rath had softened and lost the fuck everyone attitude and Zan cared more, like he was feeling for the first time about anything. She watched as they came together Zan pulled him up so they were chest to back
"Just... go. Go careful" whispered Rath and Zan nodded once as he wrapped an arm around his lovers chest and carefully eased inside his tight ass. Rath was whimpering and mewling, it burned but he didn't want it to stop. Some raw desire was spurning inside him and he didn't ever want it to stop or go away. Ava gasped at them, no words of love were whispered they just moved in utter silence and they were so beautiful!
Zan rocked slowly inside him, driving him insane. He wanted Zan to go fast, he was almost begging for it but something kept pushing him for quiet, the situation was so amazing that he didn't want to break it with words then Zan thrust against a warm place inside him that had him shivering with desire
"Oh god! Do that again" he cried as he grabbed at Zan's forearm. His eyes fluttered shut as soft tender kisses rolled over his neck and shoulders "Ahmm" he mewled as he felt Zan take hold of his dick and stroked it
"Cum for me Rath" he whispered in his ear before nibbling on the lobe "I want to feel you cum for me" his mouth fell open with a inaudible sigh as Zan ground the release from him
"Oh God! God! Zan!" he cried as his spurted his load over his lovers hand. He slumped forward still in the safety of Zan's arms and tried to regain his breath, he laid Rath down on the bed and pulled free to curl up in front of him. Rath wrapped his arms around Zan and Ava joined them on the bed snuggling up in front of Zan. They barely got the blanket over them when the door burst open and several EMTs and the police walked in on them!
"Everyone freeze!" shouted the cop in charge "You're all under arrest!" he got the surprise of his life as all three of them sat up in bed, this wasn't what he was expecting. They were raiding the place because they had a lead on the John Doe that was stolen from the City Morgue a few days weeks ago
"You Freeze!" snarled Rath and they just stopped moving, the three of them jumped up and got dressed quickly
"I think we should head to Roswell, Liz'll give us a place to hide out"
"The human bitch?" asked Rath and she nodded, Rath grabbed his car keys and packed some of his clothes up and they all headed out. The second the door slammed shut the cops were freed from the freeze Rath put them in. They looked round in confusion as the three criminals just vanished!

Max was sitting in Biology class staring at the front bored out of his mind when something caught his eye. Writing was appearing on the white board at the front of the class, he looked round to see if anyone else could see it but no one noticed, he looked back to see several words there now

"Yo! Cornball! Gather ya freaks up. It's party time. New York's bringin da fun!" once he read it the writing vanished and he jerked up in his seat

"Ms Hardy, can I get a bathroom pass?" he asked and she looked up and nodded.
Max crept down the hall to gather up the others, this was serious. The Dupes tried to kill him, they were back so he had to protect his family. He was a little surprised to see Michael sitting in class bored, he stood at the doorway and waved till his friend spotted him. Michael just stood up and walked out of class
"What's up?" he asked
"The Dupes are back" Max said "They're around here somewhere"
"What? How do you know?"
"They mindwarped me to see a message on the white board. Look we have to gather the others up" he said but Michael seemed distracted "Are you okay?"
"You know how hot you look right now?" asked Michael and Max gasped
"What? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"No Max" he whimpered "I'm not. I need help, quick! Please! We need to get somewhere private please" he begged and Max just nodded and pulled him off down the hall towards the Eraser Room.

Same Time...

Michael was walking along enjoying a taco when he saw Max and Tess running towards him fast, they looked spooked, they slowed down and Max jumped at him pulling him into a hug
"They have Isabel. We have to get out of here" he whispered in his ear and Michael dropped his taco to look around wildly. Max grabbed his hand pulling him back down the street with Tess following towards the Jeep they climbed in and he headed for the school.
Michael was in a anxious and nervous state by the time that they got to the school, Max and Tess pulled him along to the eraser room and shoved him inside. Michael did a double take to see another Max sitting there and another copy of himself
"You found him" announced the Rath Copy as Max put his hand up to Michael
"You're the Dupes" he said intending to blast his friend but the Michael by his side stood up and moved towards his copy and pulled him into a fierce kiss. They watched in surprise and Michael slid over to stand near Max, the dupes returned to their normal forms and smirked
"Just a little fun but we wanted to let you know we're in town" said Zan as he linked fingers with Rath and Ava
"Why aren't you dead?"
"My boyfriend brought me back" he explained "Death's a bitch"
"Where's Lonnie?" asked Max
"She's dead" said Ava "We're hiding out here for a bit" she said
"So you and you..." asked Michael and Rath nodded
"We made da beast with two heads back in New York" he said "We're different now, Lonnie was so controllin it's not like that now. Ya see I loves Zan and Ava loves Zan and we's all together now. It's gotta be good this time" he said
"What are you hiding out from?"
"Da cops. Now we're on the straight and narrow we gotta abide da law or run from it. Seeing as you have so much experience we's thinkin you could put us up for a while" said Rath then rubbed Zan's back "At least till Zan recovers from his healing"
"Healing? You can heal?" asked Michael raising a brow
"Nah dupe. We's got da healing crystals, da healing deal always changes the injured guy. If they don't have powers they get em and they have dis utter incredible connection to their healer. Like love" he said and Max's eyes went wide
"But I healed Kyle does that mean..."
"Ya didn't think that ya bitch was da only one for you" said Ava and Max shook his head in disbelief
"You're telling me that Kyle has feelings for me"
"Maybe"
"Look forget that. It don't matter now, can you hide us out some place until we get sorted?"

"No. We can't trust you" said Max shaking his head
"Coz of da whole Tess thing? She's real sumthin, got brains bigger than Lonnie and a heart just as black. Ya'd do right not ta trust 'er" said Rath
"If you can't hide us then we'll just have ta hide by ourselves" said Ava "I'm sure Liz would let us stay. She trusts me"
"You leave Liz alone!" hissed Max as he stood up
"Whatever, let's go look for a place to crash" said Zan and the others nodded leaving Max and Michael alone. They locked eyes for a moment
"You don't... you know" asked Max
"Hell no. You're like a brother and I just don't swing that way" he replied they cleared their throats and Michael scratched his eyebrow "I mean... well I..."
"Just to be sure right?" asked Max and Michael nodded. They leaned closer towards each other and their mouths met. Max closed his eyes
"Mmm Liz" he groaned then pulled back "I uh sorry"
"Don't be. Just proves we're both straight" he said then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and let Max alone. Max sat alone in the eraser room with a scowl on his face
"Yeah, yeah straight" he mumbled before leaving himself.

***

They cruised round with a newspaper looking for houses. Rath was driving and Zan was directing them to the next house, Ava was at the Crashdown begging for a job.
"There, stop there" said Zan pointing to a driveway. He pulled up and they both got out, a estate agent was showing a couple around already as they reached the door they were coming out
"Oh Hi, have you come to see about the house?" asked the estate agent who was as camp as Christmas and spotted the two well dressed young men holding hands
"Yeah we're really interested in this place. Would you be able to show us around or do we have to make an appointment?" asked Zan with a grin
"Oh I'm sure I could squeeze you in" he said pretending to look at his watch. The couple left and he let Zan and Rath into the house
"So are you planning to move to Roswell with your parents?"
"No we're orphans" said Rath
"Oh I'm sorry"
"Don't be. I'm Rath by the way" he held out his hand "This is my partner Zan"
"I'm Steven Markson. Nice to meet you" he said as he showed them round. They both loved the place and were willing to buy it there and then
"How much is it to just buy this place?"
"Oh this is twenty seven thousand" he said thinking it would be out of their price range, it was a shame because he liked this little couple
"Oh that's good. Do you accept cash?" asked Zan with a smirk as Rath pulled off his backpack and opened it "We make a lot of money easily"
"Wow. Um I have to ask you something... are you porn stars?"
"No I work in IT, it pays really well. I've saved up over the years with all my jobs" explained Rath and Steven nodded enthusiastically
"I just have to call my manager but I don't see why there would be any problem" he said and went outside to call his manager. Zan and Rath jumped up and down excitedly
"This is fantastic! This place is amazing!" he said
"Yes and we can bring our stuff over from New York"
"Rath we can't go back to that apartment"
"No babe not that stuff. Most of it was fake, I was still in the process of moving stuff from the subway"
"Did you just call me babe?" he asked as a lewd grin crossed his face
"I believe I did. What are you going to do about it oh mighty King?" he asked then someone cleared their throat
"Sorry to interrupt. You just have to fill out some forms then it's all yours" said Steven the door burst open and in came a very excited blonde girl
"Hey guys sorry I'm late. I got the Job! Liz talked to her dad and I'll be working at the Crash from now on!"
"Congrats Ava" said Zan pulling her close
"Do you like the house? This is perfect for us" added Rath giving her a quick squeeze
"I'm sure I'll love it" she nodded then spotted Steven who just looked a little confused.
"Let's fill out those forms" said Rath taking them from him. They all leaned over and filled them out together then handed them back with all the money and he handed over the keys.
"Guys, I have to show you something" said Ava as she pulled them to the door of their new home and pointed across the street to a house.
"Is that...?" asked Rath and she nodded
"The Evanses. Where Max and Isabel live" she said "We're right across the street from them"
"We should hire a truck to bring all our stuff here you know"
"Oh can I go and supervise it? Please!" begged Ava suddenly "I've always wanted to be in charge of stuff like that"
"Um sure. I was gonna go but if you really want to..." said Rath
"Thank you!" she squealed and hugged him, then whispered to him "Look after Zan while I'm gone" he just nodded and she kissed his cheek "I'll stop by the cafe and let them know then I'll catch a flight back to New York. Don't worry I'll mindwarp anyone who tries to arrest me" she said
"It's the stuff from your apartment and from the subway and the large furniture from my apartment" called Rath as she drove off. Zan closed the door over and pushed Rath up against the wall
"What last name did you put on the forms?"
"Same as always. Jefferson" he replied and Zan ducked his head then looked back up as he began to unbutton Rath's shirt
"Wanna get naked Mr Jefferson?"
"Only if you do too Mrs Jefferson" he replied then chuckled and made a run for it when Zan's mouth dropped open in shock. Zan caught up with Rath in the front room and wrestled him to the floor
"I should teach you a lesson for that" he said and Rath shivered as Zan straddled his hips
"Make love to me"
"Here?" Zan gasped in surprise
"Right here" he replied surely "In our new home" Zan undid his lover's shirt then yanked his off over his head. He moved off him and tugged his pants off while Rath did the same. He sat down on the floor cross-legged and pulled Rath to him, he settled him over his lap then thrust up inside him. Rath wrapped his legs around his lover and gripped his shoulders as they began to rock together. Zan tossed his head back leaving Rath open to nibble and bite at his throat.
Diane knocked on the door, the estate agent had taken the for sale sign down so someone must have bought this place. When it creaked open she wondered if they were okay. She pushed the door open and looked around
"Hello?" she called then heard a moan from the front room. She closed the door behind her and went to investigate "Hello?" she called once more as she peeked round the door to the front room. She saw two figures moving on the floor, she gasped when she realised they were having sex. She clapped her hands over her mouth to stifle her surprise, in the dim glowing light of the afternoon she watched frozen to the spot as they moved. The man furthest away tipped his head back and she almost screamed in shock. It was her son Max!
"Oh Zan" moaned the other man "Zaaannn" he buried his head in the crook of Zan's neck as he felt release
"Oh my. Oh MY GOD!" gasped Diane "Maxwell Phillip Evans you come home right this instant!" she demanded
"Who are you?" he demanded angrily as they pulled apart and he tugged on his pants quickly
"I'm your mother that's who I am!" she snapped. Her shock was not going to end when she saw who the other man was "Michael?"
"Hello Mrs Evans. Zan this is Maxwell's mother" he explained and she just got confused
"What is going on!"
"Well you see a long time ago there were two very happy couples. When two people love each other they tend to have children, both couples had a gene to have twins. They both had twins but couldn't raise two children so they gave two children up, Isabel from the Jeffersons and Michael from the Rileys. They raised the two children they had then the Jeffersons had another little boy. They couldn't keep him either so they gave him up too like his sister Isabel"
"How awful!" she gasped "So... you are... Max and Michael's twin brothers that were kept?"
"Yeah but our parents were both killed when we were about nine. We've raised ourselves up and came here. Rath and me fell for each other, we've been together for a long time" he explained as they reached out and held hands. Diane just nodded... then suddenly wondered if they would tell the others about their family history? Would her children still be hers if they knew the truth?

"I invited the Jefferson's over for dinner tonight" announced Diane as Phillip came into the kitchen followed by a very distracted Max
"Jeffersons?" asked Phillip raising an eyebrow
"They just moved in across the street. Lovely little couple, a little weird but they're nice" she said as she put the salad down on the table then went back to the kitchen. The doorbell rang and she jumped "That's them! Max go get the door!" she said smoothing out her shirt and then taking the chicken out of the oven. Max walked to the door, his head was still in the clouds, he sighed and shook his head. Best not to dwell on it, he plastered on a smile and opened the door ready to greet his new neighbours when his smile fell
"Oh My God" he gasped "What are you two doing here?"
"Your mother invited us to dinner"
"Wait? You're the Jeffersons? You mean you've moved into the house across the street?!" he gasped
"Max? Is everything okay?" called Diane as she came out, she smiled and wiped her hands on her apron
"So glad you could make it" she smiled and ushered them inside
"We brought uh... we brought a bottle of wine"
"Goodness, do you know how much this costs?" she asked as she looked at the hundred dollar bottle in her hands
"We never drink the stuff so might as well put it to good use" smiled Rath
"Thank you" she smiled as Phillip came out, he plastered on a smile then lost it when he got a first look at them
"Wow" he whispered "Um... are you the Jefferson's kid? Michael I didn't know you would be joining us"
"It's nice to meet you Mr Evans, I'm Rath Jefferson and this is my partner Zan Jefferson"
"I uh... oh um it's nice to meet you" he shook their hands wondering what was going on "Diane can I talk to you in the kitchen for a moment?"
"Sure" she said and he pulled her out.
"What is going on?"
"Zan and Rath's parents both had twins. Max and Zan and Michael and Rath, they couldn't afford to keep both twins so they gave Max and Michael up. When Max's real parents had another girl they gave her up too, then the parents died and left Rath and Zan alone. They've been together ever since. Zan is Max and Isabel's brother"
"You mean that guy out there? He's another son?"
"Yes and Rath is Michael's brother"
"Wow. This is incredible, do they... do they know?"
"They know" she replied
"What are we going to tell the kids?" asked Phillip as Diane peeked round the door and saw Max arguing with Rath and Zan
"I think Max already knows" she whispered then Isabel came down the stairs and froze. Diane watched as she continued down the stairs "They both do"

"What the hell are they doing here?" she demanded "And I thought Ava said he was dead"
"Rath brought me back to life, we moved to Roswell and we're here to stay. Ava's with us, she's just gone back to New York to pack up our things and bring them here. This is our home now" smirked Zan
"No! It's not! You can't live here! This is where we live! Go back to your little sewers in New York"
"Isabel!" gasped Diane, Isabel turned and blushed "These are our guests. I invited them over for dinner"
"It's okay Diane, really" said Zan. He knew that their showing up had messed the two Evans kids up, he could at least defend his sort of quasi-sister "Why don't we just sit down to dinner? And forget all about this"
"Yes, the dining room is this way" she led them into the large dining room and they all sat down. Rath put his hand on Zan's knee and rubbed it, Zan just smirked to himself.
"Bread rolls?" asked Isabel as she passed them with a glare, Zan just smiled as he took them then Rath's hand slid further up his leg. He sucked in a breath and Diane looked up at him
"Is everything okay?" she asked with worry. He nodded and tried not to blush. He reached under the table and grabbed Rath's hand from his crotch pulling it away. He gave it a squeeze then let it go, within seconds it was back rubbing at his crotch.
"R-r-roll?" he stuttered as he passed the bread rolls to Rath
"Thank you" he smiled as he took them. He put a roll on his plate then stopped teasing Zan. He was hungry after all and food was important, Zan glared at him for leaving him in a hard and very aroused state.
"So Zan what do you do?" asked Phillip
"I'm currently unemployed at the moment but I might go into construction. Not afraid of a hard days work"
"Ah a man's man!" he smirked and Rath snickered behind his napkin. Even Max chuckled!
"What about you Rath what do you do?"
"I work with computers. But I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, I did some time in the Army. Guess I was born to fight" he said and Phillip nodded
"Was it hard in the army?"
"I don't really remember much of it. It was a long time ago" he said nodding as he tapped his plate with his fork.

"Thank you for a nice evening Diane, when we get our furniture then we'll invite you round. Rath cooks like a saint" said Zan as he gave her a quick hug "Bye Max. Isabel" he waved and they left. Rath put his arm around Zan's waist as they walked across the street
"That was good" said Rath then Zan pulled away from him and shoved him
"Your an ass!" he snapped then walked off
"Zan? What did I do now?" he asked as he followed him into the darkened house. Zan was no where in sight as he shut the door in the inky black hall "Zan? Where are you?" he walked into the front room and saw Zan standing there
"You. Got. Me. All hot and bothered. You think you can just leave your King like that?" he snapped, he saw Zan's eyes were as dark as the room they were standing in. It made him shiver "On your knees General" he complied dropping to his knees and put his hands behind his head. Zan moved over and pressed his hand to his shoulder and his clothes vanished. Zan knelt down behind Rath and pressed a few teasing kisses to his lover's shoulder.
"You know you're getting punished right?" he whispered into Rath's ear and he nodded in a silent reply. Zan pushed him down so he was on all fours and smacked him hard on the ass. Then he stood up and pulled off his shirt "Gonna ride ya like a bitch" he said pulling off his pants quickly. He kicked off his shoes and knelt down behind Rath "Spread 'em" he ordered but Rath didn't move "I said Spread 'EM" he ordered again and slapped Rath's ass hard leaving a shiny red print. Rath spread his legs and held his breath as Zan teased him with his cock.
"You want my dick Rath?"
"YES!" he shouted
"How do you want it"
"Hot and fast baby! God" he bowed his head as he got harder, he really was being punished tonight
"And you want me. To do that. To you?"
"Yes! God! Please Zan" he begged "Just... Oh" he trailed off on a moan as Zan thrust hard inside him.

Max stood in the hallway, feeling extremely strange. Rath had forgotten his coat and his mom had insisted that he take it over to them. He knocked and got no answer, he crept in quietly with his hand ready to blast any surprises that jumped out at him. He made it to the doorway of the front room and got the biggest shock of all. Zan and Rath were going at it. Like rabbits! The coat fell from his hands and he gasped, both of them turned their heads to stare at him hard then Zan smirked as he slowed down inside Rath. He got up and came over to Max still very naked. Max was frozen to the spot as Zan pulled him into the room and shut the door.
"Ever shared someone before Max?" asked Zan standing behind his brother whispering in his ear "Want to share Rath with me? I know you want him. I've seen it" he teased. Rath rolled over to sit down and stare up at Max
"Come over here" he said holding out his hand. Max turned to get away but Zan was there. Rath got up and stood on the other side of Max, blocking his get away
"What do you want from me?"
"Nothing, what do you want from us?" Rath shot back as his hands slipped under Max's shirt
"No. Don't. Oh" he groaned then cleared his head "No"
"Don't knock it till you've tried it Maxwell" said Zan as he spun him round them Rath crashed his mouth down against Max's. Zan began to undress him while Rath kissed him senseless. They pushed him down so he was lying on his back, Rath teased and tasted his body while Zan watched and rubbed Rath's back urging him in.
Rath lifted Max's legs and saw the fear in his eyes, he smiled at him and rubbed his knee
"It's okay. It's okay Maxwell" he whispered as he slowly slid inside him. Max closed his eyes tight as he felt Rath filled him. His heart was beating rapidly then he felt something else, he looked up to see Zan sliding back into Rath. He could feel him pounding away into Rath as Rath thrust into him. He cried out and came hard but they weren't done, Rath kept pressing into him. He cried out as he came for the second time and this time they found release with him. They all collapsed down on the floor and curled up. Max fell asleep first and Zan and Rath stared hard at him
"Let's take him home" he whispered as he stood up then pulled his clothes on. Rath did the same and they carried Max back to his house and put him in his bed fast asleep. Diane watched them, she knew far too well what they had done to him.

Max tossed and turned in bed. He was dreaming about Michael and Liz again. In his dream he was shouting that Liz was the only one but Michael came coming over and touching his head and shoulders and arm and he'd shiver and end up kissing him. He jerked awake in bed and saw Michael standing there, he rubbed his eyes and Michael was still there
"Damn you scared me Max" whispered Michael
"What's wrong?" asked Max feeling suddenly naked as Michael stared at him. He had just been dreaming that they were wrapped around each other in the throes of sex.
"Alex"
"Alex?"
"Yeah, he turned up at my place saying he'd had these dreams. Then he tried to kiss me. Something really weirds happen"
"What do you mean he tried to kiss you?" snapped Max, God did that sound jealous!
"Max?" Michael drawled staring at his best friend "What's going on"
"Zan and Rath" breathed Max "Ever since they came here things have... Zan was dead and Rath and Ava brought him back using the healing stones. It was a balance Michael, and now both Rath and Ava have feelings for Zan they don't feel anything for each other but they're both crazy in love with Zan"
"So the balance did this?" asked Michael "Oh God then that means... No way" he smirked
"Michael this is no time to be thinking about your ego"
"No that means Liz, Isabel and Maria all have the hots for me" he grinned
"Not just them Michael, all the people who were in the balance who healed you"
"So that's why Alex came on to me and... you too?" he gasped
"I can't help it. I don't want this! I'm madly in love with Liz! But theres all this. I can't stop thinking about it" he said as he slid from the bed Michael backed up
"Maybe I should go" he said making a move for the window but it slid shut. He turned around to see Max standing there with his hand open. The he sat down and buried his head in his hands
"I want this to stop" he sobbed

The Next Morning...

Several large trucks rolled up on Murray Lane in front of the newly bought house. A petite and cheerful blonde climbed out of the cab of the first truck and grinned. Zan opened the door and she rushed over jumping up into his arms and kissed him
"Welcome home love" he whispered she pulled away and scowled
"You've been busy"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I can understand if you like taking it with Rath but why did you bring Max into this mix?"
"It just happened"
"No it didn't! Things like that don't just happen Zan" she snapped
"Ava..."
"Don't Ava me! Your balance was with me and Rath not him! This is cheating"
"No it's not"
"Yes it it! You're married to me and Rath, you brought him into this! It's cheating"
"Ava I didn't sleep with him!"
"No, that's a little too weird for you so you got Rath to do it. Even though I don't find Rath attractive or love him like you do he's still a husband to me. We're three together and you both cheated"
"Ava..."
"No!" she snapped pushing his hand away "I want you to fix this. And until you do you won't be getting either Rath or me. You might be strong with physical power but I can play my mind games and you'll never have either one of us again" she cried then stormed into the house.

Max woke up to hear shouting coming from outside. He looked at Michael beside him. After he started crying Michael had hugged him and they'd stayed like that all night, he had no idea when he'd fallen asleep. He stood up stretching his aching muscles and looked out the window to see two large removal trucks and Ava and Zan arguing. He suddenly felt like he was to blame, he had messed with their balance so now theirs was out of whack. He had to get it back on track, he turned around and looked at Michael's sleeping form
"I know what I have to do" he whispered then he knelt down in front of Michael and kissed him.
