When they got back from Roswell they found that the transgenic hunt in Seattle had increased a notch because of the footage from the hearing. Max and Logan had found that most of them were staying in an area of Seattle called Terminal City. Humans couldn’t be there for long periods of time because of the chemicals left over from a bad spill a few years before but the transgenics were immune. Alec helped several X5s there get jobs with him and Max at Jam Pony. Normal was against transgenics but he didn’t know he had half a dozen on staff either.
A week after they got back Alec was talking to another transgenic named Biggs that he knew back at Manticore. He and Biggs had just gotten back from helping Max rescue another transgenic, and they were talking. “No, first thing we ever did together was the Volkovitch job, over in Kezmekistan or wherever.”
“Oh, yeah, that's right. Ooh, the off-hours were definitely the highlight of that mission.” Alec commented thinking how much his life had changed.
“I can remember a time or two when you got into trouble.” Biggs said.
“Hey, they shouldn’t have sent us on missions to places with great nightlife.” Alec said defending himself just as his phone rang. He hit the talk button, “Talk to me.”
“Still running the transgenic underground?” He heard Liz ask.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m just a lowly messenger.” He hadn’t much chance to see Liz because she had the opposite shift he did so while he worked she was at home and vice versa.
“Well, Ava and I were just heading for the Crash. How about you grab everyone and meet us there?”
“Sounds like a plan to me. We were just going to have a little celebration.”
“Does this celebration have anything to do with what I just saw on the news?”
“Yeah, the Calvary rides again.”
“Well you can tell me about it when I see you. Bye.” Liz said before hanging up.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Alec and Biggs reached the Crash first and ordered their drinks and waited for Liz. Max, Original Cindy and Sketchy as well as a few more Jam Pony workers arrived and they were all just chilling. Alec was barely paying attention when he heard Biggs whistle, “Man, you should see these two girls that just walked in. Talk about hot.”
Alec looked in the direction that Biggs was staring and saw Liz and Ava had arrived. Getting an idea he said, “I bet you fifty bucks I can get the brunette to kiss me and get them to come over here.”
Biggs looked at his friend and smiled, “You’re on.”
Alec got out of his seat and headed for his girlfriend and Ava. “Hey beautiful.”
“Hey yourself cutie.” Ava joked.
“You know you’re going to have to let this obsession with me go some day Ava. Liz is the only hybrid I’m after.” Alec teased back.
“Stop it you two.” Liz jumped in smiling. “You two are so busy teasing each other that I didn’t even get a hello kiss.”
“Well let me fix that right now.” Alec said as he pulled her up to him and kissed her. It started gently but the time they had spent away from each other was too much and the kiss heated up. Alec traced her bottom lip with his tongue asking permission, which Liz gave easily. They pulled apart a minute later. “Come on, I already got us a table.” Alec said as he lead the girls over to the table where Biggs was looking surprised.
Alec pulled Liz on his lap then stuck out his hand for his fifty bucks. Biggs handed it to him and Liz looked back at her boyfriend, “What was that for?”
“Nothing.” Alec said innocently. Liz didn’t believe him and asked Biggs, “How did my boyfriend sucker you out of fifty bucks?”
Biggs’ eyebrows raised in question at the boyfriend reference. “He bet me that he could kiss you and that you two would come over. I didn’t know it was a loaded bet.” Biggs said smiling.
“I never said I didn’t know them. Biggs this is Ava and Liz. Girls, this is Biggs, a fellow Manticore prisoner.” The introduction surprised Biggs, showing visibly on his face.
“It’s okay Biggs. Liz and I don’t care about where you come from. We’ve got all kinds of friends that are transgenics. Max and Alec, Liz knows Joshua.” Ava said. Liz could help smiling as she watched Ava casually check out the newest transgenic obviously liking what she saw.
“By the way, he told me to thank you for the paints. He’s already used them and sold one painting. The money he’s bringing in helps get supplies and stuff for all the people over at Terminal City.”
“It was my pleasure. So what did we miss while we were gone?” Liz asked.
“You know that scar on Max’s hand?”
“The one she got when she went to the breed cult? Yeah.”
“Well Joshua has a pendant with the same symbol on it. Sandeman gave it to him.”
“So Sandeman was part of the cult?” Ava asked.
“Appeared to be. But that’s all they know so far.” Alec stated.
Liz decided to change the subject and asked, “So did you two ever work together?”
“Funny you should mention that. We were just talking earlier about time in Amsterdam when we got separated on a mission. Our unit met up at the rendezvous point except for Alec, he comes strolling up ten minutes later with a woman under each arm.” Biggs said laughing.
“Biggs, I think you and I should talk.” Liz said.
“How about a game of pool?” Biggs asked, Liz nodded. Biggs grabbed his beer. “Come on, you can break.”
Liz lined up the shot and broke. Biggs was surprised to see two balls go straight into their pockets. “Nice shot.” He praised. Liz shot in two more balls before missing, “Why do I feel like I’ve been suckered into this game?”
“Well even transgenics can lose at pool.” Liz smirked, “Alec loses to me all of the time. So what kind of juicy stories do you have for me?”
Part 36
Alec just smiled as his girlfriend led the other X5 away. Biggs was thinking he could get Alec back for the fifty bucks by talking to Liz, he wondered what Biggs might tell her. Ava’s words made him finally tear his eyes away from Liz. “Scared at what he’ll tell her?”
“No.”
“Liar.” Ava said smiling.
“Well not exactly scared, Liz knows a lot about me but I can’t remember everything. I guess it’s her turn since I got all kind of juicy stories when we were in Roswell.”
“Like what?”
“Like her being arrested before.” Alec said raising his eyebrow.
“Yeah, twice.” Ava stated.
Alec looked at her in surprise, “You knew?”
“Sure, Liz talked to me about it before. No biggy.” Ava said watching the pool game. “So what did you think of Roswell?”
Alec blew out a deep breath, “Interesting, remind me the next time Liz wants to go on vacation how eventful this one was.”
“Liz told me about Tess.” Ava explained. She reached over and squeezed Alec’s hand, “Thank you. I know Liz could take care of herself but I’m glad you were able to protect her.”
“You’re welcome.” Alec said knowing that if Ava lost Liz it would crush her and vice versa. They were each other family.
“Now we got all the cornball stuff done tell me what you thought of everyone.”
“Where do you want me to start?”
“Wherever.”
“Maria’s what I expected, Michael too. Kyle’s pretty cool. We hung out with the three of them the most and I could see me hanging with them. Isabel was okay, “
“Lonnie’s dupe? She seemed pretty cold when I met her.’
“Liz said she’s mellowed some. I kind of bonded with Jessie since I was the only one he could drink with.”
“So now the big one, Max. Did he give any better opinion of himself this time around?”
Alec took a long gulp of his drink, “Not really. He wasn’t around much at first then I was so busy trying to keep Liz from killing Tess then Tess from killing Liz and me. But right before we left he surprised the hell out of me.”
“What?” Ava asked looking interested.
“He came up and told me that he had made mistakes and for me not to do the same thing. He told me to treat her right.”
“That’s rich, the mighty king gave his permission.” Ava scoffed.
“I’m the last one to stick up for Max but it wasn’t like that. Don’t know how to explain it.” Alec commented just as Liz and Biggs finished. Liz walked up smiling and grabbed Ava, “Come on, play me. These guys don’t know what they’re doing.”
Ava smiled as she let Liz pull her away. Biggs flopped down on the stool next to Alec; “You should take your girlfriend around. You’d make a killing having her hustle pool.”
Ava and Liz started their game but as the game continued Liz noticed that Ava wasn’t paying much attention so she decided to have some fun with her. Concentrating Liz mindwarped her friend into seeing Biggs jumping up on the table and starting to strip. When Biggs was down to just his pants Ava figured it out, “Why did ya do that?”
Liz couldn’t help laughing, “Just wanted to see if my suspicions were right. See how much you paid attention to the little show.”
“You’ve been hanging out with Alec too much or you wouldn’t have pulled a stunt like that.” Ava saying as she took her shot.
“So you do like him.” Liz said watching Ava turn a deep shade of red.
“No I don’t.” Ava denied. “So what did you find out about Alec?”
“Not much. Mostly variations of stuff I already knew. But no changing the subject. And the subject is that you have the hots for our new friend.
“I never said that.”
“You didn’t have to, you didn’t deny it when I first said it. Plus you haven’t taken you’re eyes off him since you met him.” Liz stated.
“I just met him, barely talked to him even.” Ava said.
“Well we’ll just have to change that.” Liz said as she sunk the eight ball instead of taking the shot that she should have. “Oops, will you look at that, I lost.”
Liz hurried over to where Biggs and Alec were sitting and said, “Ava beat me so I guess you’re next to play Biggs.”
Biggs nodded and headed over to the pool table and a flustered Ava. Alec could see what was happening and asked, “What do you think you’re up to?”
“Nothing.” Liz said innocently as she enjoyed spending time with Alec and watched to see what would unfold with her friend.
Part 37
Biggs became another member of the group after that night. Liz could see that Ava was interested in him and was happy for her. Biggs seemed to be the same way but remained aloof. Liz thought they were perfectly innocent until she came home early to see the two of them making out on the couch. Liz quickly mind warp them both so she wouldn’t interrupt and she snuck into her room then confronted Ava later. She tried to play it off but in the end admitted that they were an item. After that they spent lots of time with the guys when they weren’t busy with transgenics. Alec felt that Liz’s non-human status put her in enough danger that he didn’t want her having to deal with transgenic stuff. Of course he didn’t always get what he wanted.
Alec stopped by Liz’s apartment to see her mainly to talk to her about telling Max and Logan her secret in case they ever needed their help. But the conversation quickly forgotten when Alec walked into Liz’s room to find her half dressed. Alec and Liz were wrapped up in each other when his cell phone rang, “Don’t answer that.”
“I have to. What if there’s a problem at headquarters?” Alec pulled out his phone. After a few minutes, he hung up; “I’ve got to head over to Logan’s. White caught someone and Max and I’ll have to break him out.”
“I’ll go with you. We can talk to them after.”
Once they reached Logan’s apartment, he showed Liz and Alec what he had to report. White had reared his ugly head again and had managed to get his hands on a transgenic according to the information he had. Logan had satellite photos that showed someone being dragged into a warehouse in Sector 12 but the face was undistinguishable. Max was worried that the kid had been dragged. It could mean that he was already dead and White just wanted them for postmortem slicing and dicing.
When they arrived at the warehouse Max signaled an all quiet to him while they scouted the interior of the building for White or any of his Familiars. It was an old building with dirty glass windows and loose boxes strewn about. At one end there was a wall size delivery door. There was a cage in the center of the empty space. In the semi darkness Alec looked over at Max and said, “Max, it’s Biggs.”
“Let’s get him out of there.” She said. It smelled like a trap and both Alec and Max knew it. There hadn't been any men outside and the window locks had been easy to overcome. But they had to take the chance. She kicked at the lock on the steel cage while Alec stood guard at her back. Suddenly, the room was flooded with bright light and the large door lifted to reveal over dozen-armed men in dark suits. Both Max and Alec stood in a crouch, ready to fight. They didn't get the chance. Tranq guns were trained on them and fired. Both went down within seconds.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Logan something’s wrong. They’ve been gone for over two hours.”
“I know that’s why I’m going after them. I might be able to get them out or at least loose to where they can escape.” Logan said as he grabbed his keys.
“I’m going with you.” Liz said getting up. Logan didn’t even get a chance to argue before she said, “You either take me or I’ll follow you.”
“Fine let’s go.”
“We need to make one stop on the way.” Liz said. She followed him out the apartment door as she made a phone call. “Hey it’s me. I need your help.”
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Logan parked the car across the street from the warehouse that he had sent Max and Alec to. He pulled out his gun and checked the clip. He was about to get out of the car when Liz stopped him. “You’re staying here. I’m going in.”
“Liz stay here and drive when we come out.”
“No, Logan you don’t understand.” Liz said firmly. “And I don’t have time to explain but you have to trust me. I can get them out easier than you can. Stay here or I’ll make it so you can’t get out of this car.”
She turned to where Ava was sitting in the passenger seat. “I see six men outside. Give me five minutes to get in then do it. I’ll take care of me just stay hidden.”
Liz turned back to a confused Logan. “A minute after you see Ava close her eyes pull the car of to the double doors on the north end. Be ready to drive when we come out.” She squeezed his arm, “Just trust me.” Logan nodded and Liz slipped out of the car and headed for the warehouse.
Part 38
When Max woke she was in a cage. She could feel the indents that the bars had left on her body. Moving seemed difficult, slow. She ran her tongue over her lips. Very thirsty. She sat up quickly. The scene of what had happened came rushing back to her. White. Biggs. Alec. Damn! Her head hurt. She looked around and could see the cage with Biggs about 3 meters away; Alec was in there with him slumped against the far wall.
"Hey! Are you okay?" She whispered to Biggs.
"I’m in a cage and my hope for rescue is in with me but yeah." Biggs answered. Max could see he had some bumps and bruises but nothing that looked serious.
“Can you wake him up?” She said motioning to Alec.
“Yes.” He said as he moved next to Alec and started to shake him. Alec snapped awake a minute later shoving Biggs away not realizing where he was. He stood up groaning. He had one hell of a headache; he’d have to see if Liz could fix it when they got out of there. LIZ! He looked at his watch; they had been locked up in there for three hours. He knew she would be worrying about them. “Max, we’ve been in here for three hours.”
Max knew what Alec was hinting at and decided to ask Biggs for information. "Do you know where White is?"
"They left after they put you in there.”
“Are White’s men government or familiars?” Alec asked.
“Familiars. He said that Max is going to be shipped out later, he didn’t mention what would happen to you or I but I have a feeling it won’t be pretty.”
"Not if I have anything to say about it." She replied grimly.
"Too bad you don't have anything to say about it." They heard a voice say from beside them. It was White. "Nice to see you again 452.” He sauntered up to the cage with his hands behinds his back.
"Why don't you let me out of this cage and we'll see what I have to say?" She raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Oh I don't think so. You are going to be shipped back east in just a few hours and then I'll never have to be bothered with you again. I'm rather pleased."
"You get your jollies torturing others?" She gestured to the other cage.
"Don't worry about him. He was only the bait for you. In fact I have no further use for either him or 494." He walked over to their cage and as he turned she saw that he had a gun in one hand. He raised the gun and aimed it towards the cage. Alec tried to swallow the lump in his throat when he saw White aiming the gun at them. In this cage he did stand much of a chance.
“So which one should I shoot first? The bait or your partner in crime?”
When Max didn’t answer White continued, “I think I’ll go with 494 first.” He aimed the gun directly at Alec and they could see his finger starting to tighten on the trigger but before a shot rung out White was thrown backwards. He flew through the air about thirty feet and hit the wall.
Alec and Max watched in disbelief wondering what was going on. It was then that Liz appeared in front of Alec’s cage. She had mindwarped her way inside until she found Alec, Max and Biggs in their cages with a man she recognized from the broadcast as Ames White. While White had been busy with his captives Liz had mindwarped him and the X5s as well and been able to sneak in undetected only making her presence known when she saw him about to shoot Alec. Something she wouldn’t let him do.
“What are you doing here?” Alec asked surprised.
She put her hand on the lock and the door swung open. “Saving your butt.” He then Biggs hurried out of the cage as she repeated the same thing on Max’s. Max just looked as Liz placed her hand over the lock then she heard it click. She didn’t know how Liz had done it but explanations would have to come later. Liz had just pulled the door open when she heard Alec yell, “Watch out.”
She turned just in time to see White coming at her but Alec jumped in between them. He landed a punch to White’s stomach which White shook off but stopped his pursuit of Liz. Max joined in and the two of them fought White hard with speed Liz could barely see. But she was able to see White pull up his gun. Alec kicked it out of his hand sending it flying several feet away. White dove for it but Liz used her powers to move it out of his way and brought it over to her. She pulled open the door of the cage Max had just vacated and yelled. “Guys in here.”
They understood and with one hard kick Max sent White sailing into the cage. Liz slammed the door and used her powers to melt the lock, he wasn’t getting out anytime soon. Now he’d see what it was like being in a cage. He jumped up and started pulling on the door trying to get it open.
“Let’s get out of here.” Alec stated.
Liz handed Alec White’s gun and started to lead them to the door that would lead them to where Logan was waiting for them. They were about ten feet away from the door when shots rang out. The four of them jumped behind a stack of boxes, which was the only cover available in the open warehouse.
As Alec started to return fire, Max yelled. “How many are there Alec?”
“A dozen. All with handguns but still guns. Only two or three are firing now.” He answered.
“Logan’s on the other side of that door, we just have to get outside.” Liz said.
“As soon as we show ourselves they’ll all open fire and cut us down.” Biggs stated.
Liz knew she couldn’t mindwarp all of them so came up with a different idea and began to pool all the energy she had. Normally she wouldn’t use her powers with so many witnesses but desperate times called for desperate measures. “When I give the signal go for the door.”
Before they could ask her what she was planning Liz jumped up with her hand raised. They watched in awe as a green transparent wall suddenly appeared. They could see the bullets hit the shield and stop in midair. Alec knew Liz had used a shield when Tess attacked her but it was nothing like this. That one had been small and hardly visible. The shield extended to a width of twenty feet or so and looked thick. It gave them plenty of cover to get to the door.
“GO!” She yelled looking down at where they were crouching.
The X5s jumped up and headed for the door. Liz kept up the shield and once they were through she started backing her way out the door. After all the mindwarping she had to do to get into the building and all the other power she had used, she could feel her energy getting low but she knew that if she dropped the shield they would be hit with gunfire. She had just cleared the door when Alec slammed it shut. He ran by her grabbing her hand and drug her to Logan’s waiting car.
The two were the last to dive into the car and ducked down as Logan sped off. They could hear the bullets ricochet off the car as they drove away.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Get me out of here!” White yelled at his men shaking the bars of the cage.
“We can’t sir. The lock has been melted. We’re going to have to take it completely apart first.”
White hit the door hard with his hand, frustrated. His plan had worked perfectly until this unknown girl had shown up. She had abilities he had never seen, not even among his own people. And he didn’t remember seeing anything in the old Manticore files about a transgenic like her. He would have to do some more research. “How did she get in here? Where were you?”
“We were guarding the perimeter like you ordered but she somehow eluded us.” The agent explained. White nodded. The girl had somehow snuck up on him as well perhaps with the use of her abilities.
“Sir, what happened? What was she?”
“I don’t know but I intend to find out.” White stated.
Part 39
They all walked into Logan's apartment with the exception of Liz who Alec was carrying despite her protests. Her energy was spent and he had seen how pale she had gotten in the car and he insisted on carrying her inside.
“Put me down. I can walk.” He placed her gently on the couch as Ava came over to check on her.
Ava looked at Alec's concerned face. "She'll be okay. She's just drained. She used a lot of power. She’s still rather new at this."
"She happens to be sitting right here you know." Liz said sarcastically. She hated when people treated her like she could break at any minute. “And if you two don’t want to lose anything you’ll leave me alone.”
"Guys, if she say she's okay then leave her alone." Max interceded. She looked down at Liz, "Feeling like talking about what you did in there?"
"And what Ava did that allowed us to be in plain sight of some of White's men without even being seen?" Logan added.
"Ava used what we call a mindwarp to hide you two and the car. Basically she made the men see or in that case not see what she wanted them to." Liz explained. "I did the same thing to get inside."
"And you two are able to do that how?" Max asked.
"Because they're aliens." Alec stated.
Biggs laughed. "No really." Max said.
"It's true. We're aliens." Ava stated.
“Watch,” Liz said as she waved her hand over Alec’s face, healing the scratches and bruises.
“Okay, I have now officially seen everything.” Logan stated.
“Here’s the story, no scratch that here’s the short version.” Ava started. “The crash in ’47? Wasn’t a balloon, it was a cover up. I know I was on the ship when it plowed into Earth. I’m part of the Royal four who ruled our planet until this psycho Kivar had us all killed. The scientists took some of all four of us mixed us with some human and made four sets of twins that way they had two sets just in case one kicked the bucket. There were four protectors sent with us but two died. The two left each took a set and took off. I was in a set sent to New York and the other set was in Roswell. That’s how Liz came into the picture.”
Liz decided to take over, “When I was 16 I got shot and almost died but my ex-boyfriend Max healed me, brought me back. After that I was let in on his secret well it was actually Michael and Isabel’s secret too. Me along with my friend Maria and Alex helped the aliens find out where they came from and hide from the Sheriff who was suspicious. They didn’t know anything about who they were until Tess, Ava’s dupe, came town along with one of the protectors who had lost the other three. Not long after they found out who they really were, Max was the king, Tess was queen, Isabel was a princes and Michael was second in command. But they didn’t know about the set in New York.”
“But if Ava was in New York how did you two become close?” Max asked.
“We’re getting to that.” Ava answered.
“After we found out who the aliens really were things got weird. Max kept wanting to see me but he was supposed to be with Tess. Eventually I was able to push him to Tess.” Liz didn’t feel like going into the whole Future Max thing and figured it didn’t make much difference if they knew. “Not long after that Ava and part of her group came to Roswell.”
“Over the years we’d been living in the sewers, stealing what we needed basically just trying to survive. At least until a bunch of the rulers of the other planets in our system wanted to meet with the king to try and end the war. Zan, Max’s dupe thought it was a trap so he decided we weren’t going. Lonnie and Rath, the other two, decided they didn’t like that so they killed him.” Ava’s voice wavered a little. Liz squeezed her hand and a minute later she continued. “So the three of us set off to Roswell to find Max to talk him into going. That was when I met Liz. After Lonnie and Rath tricked Max into going to New York and Tess decided to go with them I saw my way out. So when they left, I stayed. Liz found me sleeping in the alley. She offered to let me crash on her couch even though she didn’t know me and my dupe was her enemy.”
“I couldn’t just let her sleep in the alley and there was something about Ava that made me realize she was okay. Later we were talking and I told her about Max healing me. Then Michael and Isabel figured out that Lonnie and Rath had tricked Max and came looking for Ava. She told us about the others killing Zan and that they would probably kill Max. That was the first time I heard that I had been changed because Max healed me. When he did that some alien was transferred into me making me a hybrid like the others. Also my friend Kyle who was later healed.” Liz explained. “Because of that I was able to warn Max in New York. Anyways Ava left a few days later but we wrote to each other. I was the only one who knew where she was.”
“That was when I came to Seattle. It was on the opposite coast as New York so I figured it was pretty safe.” Ava threw in.
“After Ava left we had a few weird alien things happen but we dealt with them. The group’s were somewhat strained but we got along. At least until Alex was killed.” This time it was Liz’s voice that wavered and Alec pulled her onto his lap. “Everyone thought it was a car accident but me. I started investigating and found out that Tess was the one to kill Alex. He was a great hacker and she mindwarped him into decoding an alien book that would tell them the way home. She made a deal with their enemies and wanted to go back.”
“When we mindwarp someone we make them see what we want them to, implant memories, or even control them. In small doses it’s not damaging. But Tess did way too much for too long and it killed Alex.” Ava stated.
“While I was investigating our group got ripped apart everyone but me turning to someone and Tess ended up pregnant. At the time I didn’t know it was Tess who had killed him just an alien. By that time Michael and Maria were helping me and that was when we found the translation of the book. Michael gave it to Max and the four were set to go home. At the last minute Kyle broke out of another mindwarp of Tess’s and remembered he saw her kill Alex. We were able to stop them from leaving but Tess left. According to her the baby she carried couldn’t survive on Earth so Max let her leave.” Liz said taking a deep breath. There was a lot to go over. She looked at Alec and saw him smile at her. She was glad it didn’t bother him for her to talk about everything. He knew how she felt about him and wasn’t threatened.
“After Tess left, we all tried to move on with our lives. Max started looking for a way to get his son with me helping him. In January my powers came into their full strength and started showing up, I torched a few things and some other stuff. Eventually things got really bad, I was scared so I came to Seattle for Ava’s help. She let me move in with her, set me up with my job, and helped me learn to control my powers. I lived in Seattle for about four months when I met you guys at Crash.” Liz finished.
“If that’s the short version, I don’t want to hear the long one.” Biggs commented.
“How long have you known Alec?” Logan asked.
“Since the night Liz found out about us. She was going to tell me when Max and Michael showed up, I saw this electrical thinging that happened whenever Max touched Liz and saw Liz send his ass flying like she did White. She told me later.” Alec answered. “It’s a good thing too since what happened when we went to Roswell.”
“What happened?” Biggs asked.
“Tess came back with Max’s son and tried to kill me.” Liz stated. “But Alec shot her at the same time Michael blasted her. So Max now has his son, and Alec and I came back to Seattle. So that’s it, that’s our story.”
“Damn.” Max muttered. “And I thought small towns were supposed to be quiet.”
“Now I see what you meant when you said you didn’t have time to explain in the car.” Logan stated.
“I told you I could get them out.” Liz smiled.
“You should see all the stuff they can do with their powers, it’s cool as hell.” Alec stated. Liz and Ava did small things to display what Alec meant.
"I'm starting to feel strange about being the only normal human here." Logan joked.
"No one's perfect." Alec quipped.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
By the time they wrapped things up at Logan's it was late and Ava, Liz, and Alec headed back to the girls' apartment. Biggs went with them since he didn’t feel like trekking all the way back to Terminal City.
"I'm going to bed. Good night you two." Ava said as she started for her room before Liz stopped her. "Thank you."
"Hey what are friends for? You know I always be there for you." Ava said smiling. She winked at Biggs before retreating to her room.
Liz grabbed Biggs a blanket before heading back to her room. Alec watched her go before turning to Biggs. “You all set here?”
“Yeah.” Biggs said, “You always found the unique ones, Alec. Beautiful, interesting, and definitely unique.”
“I’m not the only one. I’ve noticed that you and Ava getting close over the last week.”
Biggs just smirked, “You better get in there. She’s waiting for you.”
Alec made his way back to Liz’s room. She saw him and stood in the middle of her room staring at Alec. His eyes met hers and asked, "What?"
"I just thinking about how close it came today. White almost killed you."
"But thanks to you he didn't."
"But if I'd been even one minute later, he would have. I know how you felt back in Roswell when Tess came after me."
"And if you came a minute sooner then he would have came up behind you and captured you. I'm just trying to absorb what happened. I've seen your powers before but not like that."
Liz walked up and put a finger to his lips hushing him. "I need you. I need to feel your arms around me."
Alec understood how she was feeling. She needed to feel him to assure herself that he was safe. He brought one hand and laced his fingers in hers. His other hand cupped the side of her face while their hands stayed down remaining entwined. He leaned down to capture her lips with hers. The kiss was full of emotion, love, fear, and relief at being safe. Liz ran her tongue across his lips and he opened his mouth to grant her access. Their tongues very slowly explored the recesses of each others mouths, small whimpers and groans coming from them as the kiss deepened. Liz hurriedly began to back up farther into her bedroom, trying as best she could not to knock anything over so she wouldn't have to part their lips. They had somehow managed to divest each other of their jackets on the way but neither could remember when. Liz waved her hand shutting the door with her powers. Her hands moved to the buttons of his shirt. She undid them and moved her hands across his well toned stomach, up across his chest and down his strong arms bringing the shirt down and off in the process. She took a moment to take in the view she loved to see. He really was beautiful she thought to herself. Manticore definitely knew what they’d been doing. Once again their mouths met still managing to keep the relatively slow pace they had constructed. He slid his hands under her shirt letting his fingers roam over the silky skin of her stomach before reaching for the hem and pulling the shirt off. Reaching behind her he unclasped her bra and it joined the rest of their clothes on the floor.
"Touch me, Alec.” She whispered to him. He leaned forward and gently licked the taught nipple before lightly nipping it. As he did this his other hand moved to massage her other breast and she arched into him in pleasure. He repeated this on the other breast and she fisted her hands through his hair and moaned his name. She reached for his pants and undid the zipper, slipping her hand inside to feel his hardness. He groaned and bit down a little harder on her breast, bucking his hips at her in response. She slid his pants down and he stepped out of them. They closed the distance again, their lips meeting a little more roughly than before. Their hands roamed each other’s bodies, trying to touch every available part of their skin. Liz stepped back and slowly slid out of her jeans, making them both only clad in underwear and boxers. She then proceeded to back him into the bed again and as he hit the edge of it he let himself fall backwards, bringing her down on top of him. She kissed his temple, then his cheek, moving down to his neck where she sucked on the skin, eliciting another groan from him.
As she made her way lower she traced the fine contours of his muscles on his chest and abdomen with her tongue. Grabbing the waistband of his boxers, she slid them down and he lifted his hips in assistance to get them off. She sat back and looked at him fully naked in front of her. She placed her hands on his feet, sliding them up his muscled calves and thighs, all the way up to his chest placing her mouth on his once more. His hands slid down her shoulders and back, gripping at her ass before sliding his fingers in the waistband of her panties and pulling them off. This time it was his turn to let his hands roam over her body, starting at her shoulders, down to her breast where he let his hands graze over her nipples before working his way down her stomach to her ass and thighs. His hands then made their way to her front and he slipped a finger in her, reveling in the warm, wet feeling and the reaction she was having. He slipped in another finger and massaged her clitoris with the pad of his thumb. She was groaning louder now, driving him crazy with the sounds as she came. She then reached down to grip him once more and his head fell back in ecstasy.
She grabbed a condom from her side table and slowly rolled it on him. Unable to wait anymore he removed his fingers from her and lifted her above him. She slowly lowered herself onto him and when she was all the way down she gripped his shoulders pulling him up so that they were both in a sitting position. Their eyes now locked onto one another as she tediously began to ride him. Finding her hand, he locked fingers with her once more. In response she pulled him closer so that their bodies were pressed firmly together, nothing separating them. His mouth traveled to her neck and he bit down softly causing her to moan his name. As he felt her climax again build and her inner muscles tightening he looked back into her eyes and they remained locked as she finally came, screaming his name. It was the most erotic thing he had ever seen and could no longer contain his own response following her only a few moments later and felt the familiar over powering stimulation that came with being intimate with an alien. Breathing heavily until they came back down to their senses. They reluctantly disconnected themselves from each other, both missing the warmth of the other person and laid down after cleaning up, exhausted from their exertions. They quickly fell asleep, sated and wrapped in each other’s arms.
