The first night had been so much fun, that Liz hadn’t gotten home until almost two where a worried Ava confronted her. She had calmed down after she saw Alec was with her and Liz had explained. Over the next few weeks Liz saw Alec quite a bit but just as friends. She had even forgot once about her weekly meeting with Michael until he called her. Michael had been surprised when he had heard Alec’s voice in the background. He hadn’t pressed her for details and told her to have fun. She enjoyed spending time with Alec. Ava kept dating Jonathan, which left Liz time to spend with Alec. Her and Alec talked a lot but kept some things about themselves secret, like her history with Max, Liz’s alien status and Alec’s transgenic one. Liz was surprised to find out how much Alec knew about genetics. It gave her someone to talk to about her passion, science. Sometimes it was just the two of them, other times they went out with Ava, Max, Logan, and some of the others from Jam Pony. They went to the Crash, clubbing, or watched movies at Liz and Ava’s apartment.
All of the people at work would joke to Alec and say he was whipped but he shrugged it off. He was sure that at least Max knew that there was more to him then most people saw. He figured she would know what was going on with him although he would never admit it. She was the only one who knew about how he had cared for Rachel. Alec couldn’t believe how much he enjoyed just being around Liz. Somehow she managed to get underneath the cocky exterior that he showed to everyone. There had been a couple of times that he had to cancel his plans with her to help out Max with some of the other escapees or to go off to Joshua’s. He didn’t know what she would do if she found out.
They had become good friends and he had kept to the no strings attach rule. Ava kept telling her to go for it but she wasn’t sure. In Ava’s words she said, “You two are doing everything like a couple except for the fun stuff.” She had even wiggled her eyebrows to emphasize her point.
Liz was feeling bad about hiding a part of herself from Alec. He had almost caught her using her powers but she had covered it up.
Liz and Alec had plans to go out to the Crash and Alec was early picking her up. Ava let him in and told him that Liz would be out in a couple of minutes before leaving. Ten minutes later Liz had yet to appear. Opening the door to her bedroom he saw Liz sitting in a chair with her eyes closed. He walked over and shook her shoulder only to have her jump up raising her arm in defense.
“Liz! It’s me.” He said.
Liz blinked shaking out of her haze. She’d been dreamwalking Maria, trying to catch up with her. There was such a time difference between New York and Seattle that it was easier than the phone not to mention cheaper. She had gotten ready early while she waited for Alec and laid down to talk to her friend. “Sorry, I was waiting for you and I must have dozed off.” The ringing of her cell phone interrupted her explanation. She fumbled for the phone and answered it.
“Hello?”
“Liz! Are you okay? You just disappeared.” Maria said frantically. When Liz had just left she had feared the worst and jolted awake.
Liz looked at Alec confused face, “Yeah, Maria. Alec just got here and woke me up from my nap, he startled me.”
“Okay, as long as you’re alright.”
“I’ll talk to you tomorrow, Maria. Bye.” She hung up the phone. She reached over and picked up the picture of her, Maria, and Alex that she had been using to dreamwalk Maria and put it up. She started putting on her shoes so they could leave. She looked up at Alec, “Ready?”
Alec didn’t know what was going on but saw that Liz was edgy about something. He just dismissed as she pulled him out of the apartment.
Liz joked around with Alec trying to make him forget what had happened upstairs. As they walked into the club, Liz saw a tall blonde woman with short hair sitting by the bar. “Liz, I’ll be right back. Max and OC already grabbed our regular table.”
Liz nodded and headed over but kept an eye on Alec. He approached the girl and looked to be making small talk. Although her and Alec were only friends Liz felt a pang of jealousy especially when she saw him laughing and smiling. Maybe it was because she was blonde and she didn't have the best track record with blondes she didn't know. She was still watching him as she walked up on OC and Max. “Hey, Liz. Where’s your boy?” OC asked.
“He’s not my boy.” Liz snapped.
“Woah, down girl.” Max stated.
Liz quickly realized how nasty she was being and apologized. “Sorry, I was just thrown off.” She explained nodding towards Alec. “I’ve never seen him in action.”
Max and OC looked over at Alec, “That’s Asha. Don’t worry, they’re just friends.”
“He’s not mine so it doesn’t matter.” Liz lied.
“Yeah, that’s what Max used to always say about Logan.” OC stated. “It’s obvious Liz. You in to each other, it’s okay to admit it. It’s nice to see Alec go after a honey that we can stand and has a brain.”
“Did I hear my name?” Alec said coming up. Out of the corner of his eye he could have sworn he saw a look of jealousy on Liz’s face when he’d been talking to Asha. And if it was Alec was happy to know that she looked at him as more than a friend.
“Yeah, we were just saying how Normal has this real obsession with you.” Max said covering for Liz. The subject was dropped and they talked about other things.
Part 7:
The rest of the evening Alec had tested his theory about Liz being jealous of him talking to Asha in little ways. He made sure that whenever he went back to the bar he talked to Asha and even invited her over for a few minutes. But he could tell that being around Liz, OC, and Max made Asha uncomfortable so she left shortly after. It didn’t matter, Alec had already proven his thoughts right.
Despite how much Liz tried to cover everything up earlier a little bit of Liz and Ava’s secret came out when Alec was dropping Liz off. They had just walked in when Ava started screaming. Liz knew she still had nightmares about when Zan was killed and hurriedly ran into Ava’s bedroom Alec right behind her ready to take on whatever was inside. Ava was so scared that Liz could feel her energy juicing up in defense. Liz pulled her close and tried to calm her down.
“Shh, Ava. It’s over; it’s just a dream.” Liz whispered in her ear and wiped the tears off her face. She could feel Ava calm down some so she turned to Alec. “She’s fine. It’s just a bad dream. Can you wait for me out into the living room? I’m going to get her back to sleep.”
Alec looked at the two girls once before doing as Liz asked. He had almost jumped out of his skin when Ava had started screaming. The girl had been terrified of whatever she’d been dreaming about. Alec had learned a long time ago that when a dream was that scary it usually stemmed from a memory. He shut the door but stayed close so he could hear them.
“You want to tell me about it?” Liz asked.
“I saw them kill him again but this time they tried to kill me too.” Ava said sniffling. The nightmares were a rare occurrence now but they still came.
Liz pulled her close to try and make her feel safe. “They’re not going to get you. No one but me knows where you are. The last place they knew you were was Roswell and that was over a year ago. There’s no trail from there. No one but the gang knows that I’m with you and they don’t even know where I went. And if they ever come, I won’t let them near you. We’re safe. Okay?” Ava nodded. “Try to go back to sleep. I’ll be out in the living room if you need me.” Liz pulled the covers up for her and made her way out of the bedroom. She saw Alec pacing the living room as she came out.
“She’s trying to go back to sleep.”
“Good. She looked shaken up. Must have been some nightmare.”
“You have no idea.” Liz muttered.
“What happened? I overheard her saying something about someone coming after her.”
“You were spying?”
“No. Uh, yes.” He said guiltily.
Liz waved his excuses away. “It’s alright. Ava used to live with her boyfriend, his sister, and his bestfriend in New York. One day Zan, that was her boyfriend, didn’t agree with Lonnie and Rath, the sister and best friend, and they shoved him in front of an oncoming truck. It happened right in front of Ava and she had to watch him die. She was so scared that they would do the same thing to her that she kept her mouth shut. They moved on to something else and that’s when she cut out. She came up to Seattle to hide and start over. She feels like it was her fault that she couldn’t stop it.”
He understood what it was like to see the person you love die right in front of you. He’d had his own nightmares about it. “That’d be a hard thing to get over. She’s strong.”
“Yes, she is. The nightmares are fewer but I think she’ll still have them for a long time.”
“Did they come after you too?”
Liz shook her head, “Why did you ask that?”
“You said no one knew that you were in Seattle, I figured you were in hiding too.”
“I guess in a way I am but not from them. A lot of stuff happened last year and I kept it all bottled up. I didn’t want to be in Roswell anymore.” Liz looked up at him and could see from the expression on his face that he was waiting for her to go on.
“Things fell apart after Alex was died. We were all devastated and our group completely broke apart. I shut down and Max turned to someone else. Her name was Tess. She was the exact opposite of me, blonde hair, blue eyes, and curvy body. They slept together and she got pregnant. She left town shortly after. We just pushed it into the background and got back together. He wanted to find the baby, his son, and the search consumed him. I helped him look for the baby although it hurt and estranged me from my parents. I loved him and was willing to do anything to be with him but it became too much. I blew up at him; told him that all he ever did was hurt me. That’s when I realized I needed to get out of Roswell. I took off that night and came to find Ava. I moved in with her and she got me my job. I owe her a lot, living here saved me from completely losing myself I wanted to get my life sorted out and I couldn’t do that with him around so I left. My parents are the only ones who have any idea where I am.”
“It’s a good thing I never said anything to Maria.” Alec had talked to her a couple of times when she called Liz. “If you ever need my help, just let me know.”
“That’s sweet. Thank you.” Liz said before leading Alec outside then heading in to sleep.
Alec knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep so he headed over to Joshua’s. He saw the large transgenic fast asleep in one of the chairs so he retreated to the basement and opened up the piano. His fingers softly stroked the keys. He needed to think. Something about what Liz had told him just wasn’t settling right, like there was more to the story. He needed to get lost in the music. The first chords sounded soft, gentle, and rhythmic. Then the melody started and the music took the shape of his thoughts. Questions rang out in the music. He would play until he found the answers. He closed his eyes, bowed his head and let his fingers go where they would.
Part 8:
After the night of Ava’s nightmare Alec didn’t bring it up again. Liz noticed it and was grateful that he didn’t press her for details. Of course spending lots of time together only made it worst for both of them to keep their secrets. One night Max, Alex and Liz stepped outside of the Crash to get some air. They were just standing in the alley next to it talking when they saw three guys dressed in suits running after someone. They couldn’t see the person the men were chasing until he passed by them and headed into another alley next to them. It was then that Liz saw he was one of the mutants she had read about in the paper. The men chased after him and the three of them followed to watch the scene. The men cornered the mutant, pulled out tasers, and started to poke him with them. The mutant cried out in pain and tried to fight back but the men were overpowering him.
“We have to do something, they’re hurting him.” Liz said to Max and Alec who looked at her stunned.
“Stay here Liz.” Max said as her and Alec took off down the alley. They yelled for the guys to stop but the men didn’t. Alec pulled one of them back and tossed him aside. The two other guys broke off the attack of the creature and began to fight with Alec and Max. It was then that Liz moved deeper in the alley to see if she could help her friends. She wasn’t going to let them get hurt if she could help it. She didn’t notice that the third man had gotten up until he grab her from behind. She elbowed in the stomach hard and tried to pull away but instead was turned to face him. She vaguely heard Alec yell for the guy to leave her alone before she pushed him with both hands and a little alien power. He flew across the alley again before landing in a pile of trash. She noticed that he was unconscious just as Alec came up next to her. “You okay?”
“I’m fine. Was the creature able to get away?”
“Yeah, the distraction gave him enough time to get away.” He was about to ask her how she had fought off the man when Max came up fast and pointed down the alley. “There’s three more coming. We better get out of here.”
They took off down the previous alley they’d been standing in and headed for a side street as the guys started to pursue them although they had a good lead. Liz saw a dark shadowy alcove and thought of an idea. She grabbed both of them and pulled them into the alcove. Alec pushed her between him and the wall as she closed her eyes and concentrated on the three men she had seen. She mindwarped them into not seeing them and they ran past. She heard Max speak so she knew they were safe and dropped the warp. “That was close. Nice hiding place, Liz.” Max commented.
“This street isn’t very well lit and I figured they would think we’d keep running rather then hide in the shadows.” She explained. It was a good of an explanation as any since they didn’t seem to notice that she had used her powers.
Max and Alec looked at her suspiciously. It was true, the street was cloaked in shadows but they didn’t think that they were dark enough to completely hide them. They didn’t any explanations so Alec said, “We should get back. The others are going to wonder about us.”
As the three of them headed back Max asked, “So why did you want to help that mutant? Most people would be scared of it.”
Liz shrugged. “I figured if he was dangerous, he would have attacked someone as he ran. He only became violent when he was cornered just like any one would. Since he wasn’t dangerous, I figured that they were only trying to catch him because he was different and that’s not excuse. Just because someone is different from normal doesn’t mean they’re a threat.”
Both of the X5s looked at her with curiosity at her statement. She seemed to know what she was talking about from a first hand account. It was then that they both wondered if Liz was hiding something they weren’t aware of.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“It was just strange Logan. I mean the whole scene didn’t even faze her. It’s like she was used to it.” Max said as she paced in front of Alec and Logan in Logan’s living room. After the three had gone back into the Crash none of them said anything about what had happened outside. Liz and Ava both had to work the next morning so they headed out shortly after and Max, Logan, and Alec had headed back to Logan’s to figure out what might be going on with Liz.
“Maybe she’s had some run ins with the authorities, nowadays it’s not an uncommon occurrence,” Logan offered.
“I would buy that if I didn’t see her push a guy across the alley like he weighed no more than air. No something’s up with her.”
“Could she be someone from Manticore?” Logan asked. “Maybe not an X series but something else?”
“No barcode.” Alec said.
“Do I want to know how you checked?” Max asked.
“Well it’s hard not to notice after some of the things we do in my bed. Man that girl is flexible.” Alec joked. Max looked like she was about to hit him. He rolled his eyes, “She wears her hair up a lot when she’s at home. It’s not hard to notice.”
“What is with you? You usually don’t have this much of an attention span with women.” Max stated.
“Maybe seeing you and Logan in the state of bliss that you call love as inspired me.” Alec shrugged, “I don’t know really know how to explain it.”
“Could she be from White’s group? They don’t have barcodes.” Logan asked.
“If she was working with White she would have turned us in already. No, it’s something else.” Alec said trying to figure it out.
“Maybe the guy was just caught off guard. Let me see what I can find about her.” Logan said turning to his computer. He pulled up the right websites he needed and found her. “Elizabeth Parker, born 1984 in Roswell, New Mexico to Jeffrey and Nancy Parker. Wait that only makes her eighteen.”
“I knew that, by lying about her age it gave her a better job. Her ID is fake. It’s one of the best ones I’ve seen.” Alec stated.
“This is weird it says she’s an only child. If that’s true than who is Ava?”
“I don’t know. But they are close. I know Ava’s hiding from her past so maybe they changed her name to help.” Alec explained.
“Well there’s nothing else on here. But since she just turned eighteen, her record would be sealed for anything she did as a minor.”
Alec shrugged. “Well we all have a past. She’s no different. She’s just trying to get past it like we all are.” He headed for the door. “Thanks for all of the info, see you later.”
Max and Logan watched him go, “You know he’s right. Just because she had a strange past doesn’t mean we should treat her any different.” Logan stated.
Max shrugged, “You’re right. She helped us out tonight and she’s not against being different so that gives her a good mark in my book. I was just thinking that she fits into our little group just fine but I’ll keep an eye on her.”
Part 9:
Things were normal over the next week and Alec and Liz continued to be friends. Liz was finding it harder and harder to fight her attraction to him. Hell she knew she was falling for him. She also knew it was natural for her to want to date someone but she was scared of getting hurt. It finally came to a head one night. It was Liz’s day off and she had to do a few things close to Alec’s neighborhood and decided to see if he wanted to do something. She knocked on the door and waited for him to answer. She didn’t have to wait long before Alec opened the door. When he did Liz’s eyes almost popped out of her head. There was Alec in nothing but a towel. It was obvious that he had just gotten out of the shower by his wet hair and the beads of water on his firm muscular chest. She couldn’t stop staring at him until she heard Alec say, “Hey Liz, what’s up?”
“I wanted to see if you wanted to do something to me huh with me tonight.” Liz managed to mumble out.
Alec could see the effect his state of undress was having on her not to mention her slip up and it made him feel good. He had acted the same way at different times when he’d been with her and she wore something that showed off her body. “Well I think I might get arrested if I go out like this so come on in. I’ll just go get dressed.”
“You’ve got a nasty bruise on your arm.” Liz said pointing it out.
“I was helping Normal clean out the storage room and some stuff fell on me.” Alec lied quickly. He’d actually gotten helping Max out on one of her ‘Eyes Only’ missions but couldn’t tell Liz that. “I’ll be back.”
Liz walked around the front room of the apartment and tried not to think about Alec getting dressed in the next room. The towel left almost nothing to the imagination. His chest was developed but not overly so, she’d seen that his whole body was the same way. 'Down girl or you're going to need a cold shower.' She busied herself by snooping. She had only been in there once and she noticed that it lacked a certain personnel touch. No pictures, no knickknacks, nothing that showed anyone anything about him. That made her curious. Alec never talked about his past but for a few things. Of course Liz had left out stuff too. She was so busy that she didn’t notice him come back out now fully dressed until she felt his breath her in ear, “Enjoying yourself?”
She turned quickly and found her face only inches from his. This wasn’t the first time that they had been this close. There had been a couple of close calls but nothing had happened. She couldn’t help but notice how close his soft full lips were to her suddenly dry lips. She unconsciously licked hers trying to moisten them but it didn’t help.
Alec saw her small pink tongue flick out across her lips and suddenly he couldn’t help himself, he had to taste her. He lowered his lips to capture hers. He pressed a gentle kiss to them and was happy when she kissed him back. They broke away a minute later and he waited to see her reaction. She looked up at him, not quite sure what to say. The kiss had felt good, great even but she didn’t know what she should do about it.
“I’m sorry if I stepped over the line.” He said stepping back from her. He ran his hand through his hair, “Wait, I’m not sorry. I’ve wanted to do that since the first night I met you. I want you. I know you want me too but you’re not letting yourself.” He asked.
“Yeah, that’s worked so well for me in the past.” Liz snapped.
“I’m not Max.” Alec stated.
“I know you’re not.” Liz said back. If anything Alec was the exact opposite of Max. He wasn’t shy or quiet. Alec was easygoing, cocky, and didn’t act like everything in the world was on his shoulders.
“Then what is it? I mean yeah you know the way I was with girls before but if that was what was up now I would have given up on you a long time ago.”
“Fine you want to know how I feel? The night I first saw you talking to Asha I was so angry and jealous thinking you were hitting on her that I even snapped at Cindy. So yes, I think about being with you. Yes, I’m attracted to you. Hell, there are times when all I can think about is doing this.” She said as she walked over in front of him and pulled his face down to meet her in a hard kiss.
The kiss was full of hunger and need. All the sexual tension between the two of them that had built up over the time they had known each other fueled the kiss. Alec ran his tongue across her bottom lip asking permission which she gave. Their tongues dueled with one another as they backed up to Alec’s couch. When his knees hit it, he fell back on it and she moved to straddle his lap trying to get even closer. Her hands explored his chest through his shirt running her hands along the muscles she had seen earlier. His hands did the same on her back.
Liz’s need for air became too great and they pulled apart. Alec moved his lips to her jaw line and continued a path down her neck. Liz breathed in deeply and tried to calm her racing heart. The kiss was incredible and she had felt her body heating up at Alec’s additional kisses and touch. She leaned her head to the side to give him better access. It was then that the ringing of her cell phone interrupted them.
“If that’s Maria, I’ll go all the way to New York to kill her. She always seems to know when to interrupt.” Liz said as Alec laughed. She moved off his lap, answered her phone, and was greeted by a female voice. It wasn’t Maria but Ava wanting to know where she was. She told her that she was at Alec’s and that they’d see her at the apartment soon.
“We better go before they send out a search party.” Alec said wanting to do the exact opposite. But as much he wanted to take her in his room and to his bed he knew it would be too much for her right now.
Liz smiled, “Lead the way.”
Part 10:
“What do you think I should wear?” Liz asked.
“Club clothes what else?” Ava stated.
“I want something that will drive Alec out of his mind.” Liz said flipping through her closet. After the night of their first kiss Alec and Liz were together. They still spent a lot of time together like before but of course now they acted like a couple. Their friends all said it was sickening but they just ignored them. Liz thought things were good before and they got better once she stopped fighting her feelings for Alec. As she looked at the back of her closet she found a pair of black leather pants that Ava had dared her to buy but she hadn’t felt like wearing, until now. She pulled them out and started yanking them on. Next thing was a black tank top that had flames along the bottom and her black strappy sandals. “How do I look?”
“He’s going to flip.”
Liz smiled and went to the mirror. With a wave of her hand she put on her makeup, a little darker than usual and then waved over her hair making it curled all over. She almost reconsidered the curls since it would be warm in the club but instead pinned it up and let the curls fall loosely on top. “I’m ready. Let’s go.”
The two headed out. They were meeting everyone at a new club and were looking forward to it. It took them twenty minutes to walk there and Liz was glad that her sandals were comfortable. As they neared the club Liz saw Alec, OC, Max, Logan, and even Sketchy waiting for them in line. Alec had yet to see her and she took the moment to look him over. If at all possible he looked better than normal. He had on a pair of black baggy cargo pants and a short sleeve white button down shirt. Just as her eyes trailed up to his face he saw her. If the smile on his face was any indication then he liked what he saw.
Alec thought his tongue would hit the ground if he opened his mouth. Liz looked incredibly sexy. He felt his baggy pants starting to get a little snug but his shirt was long enough to hide it. As she walked up the only thing he could say was, “D*mn.”
Liz laughed, “Glad you like it.”
“Like is an understatement. I think we should forget the club and go back to my apartment.” He propositioned before kissing her hard. They continued until Ava interrupted. “Knock it off you two, let’s get inside.”
They waited in line until they finally got in. Once inside Liz turned to Alec, “Want to go get sweaty with me?”
“I thought you wanted to stay here and dance?” He joked.
“I did mean dancing.” She slapped him on the arm before he took her hand and going out to the dance floor. Alec pulled her close to his body. Their bodies fit together well and they moved to the beat of the club music. Liz loved the feeling of Alec’s strong body up against hers. Seeing the way she moved her body Alec couldn’t help but think of another way she could move it. As they dance they kissed a few times and Alec nuzzled her neck, enjoying being so close. After about an hour, Liz was hot and thirsty. “I’m going to something to drink. You want one?”
Alec nodded and handed her money for both, “Get me a whiskey and coke.”
“I’ll see you at the table.” She said. Liz made her way through the crowd until she finally made it to the bar. One of the bartenders walked up, “One coke, one whiskey and coke.”
“WHAT!”
“Two cokes, one with whiskey.” She yelled. He nodded and came back a minute later with the drinks. Liz paid and made her way over to the table where Sketchy and Alec sat. She handed Alec his and took a big gulp of her own, downing half of it. Suddenly she felt giddy, “Let’s go dance some more.” She said as she grabbed his hand and yanked him out to the dance floor. Once there Liz began to dance like before but a lot closer. No one would be able to even slip a piece of paper between her and Alec. She laced her hands behind his neck and pulled him down before giving him a hot hungry kiss. Alec was surprised by the kiss but gave back as much as he took. Liz was making it very difficult to not want to strip her down and have her right there. It didn’t help when he felt her small hands under his shirt running along his chest. “Let’s get out of here.” He said trying to calm his body down.
“No, I’m going to dance some more.” Liz yelled before strutting over to where OC was at, hips swaying seductively the whole way. Alec kept his eye on her as he made his way back to Sketchy. They talked for a few minutes as Alec drank down the rest of his drink and was about to go get another when he heard an uproar of whooping and catcalls. He turned his attention to the noise and was shocked to see Liz on top of one of tables dancing seductively.
“I never would have thought Liz would do that.” Sketchy said smiling enjoying the show. Alec nodded not being able to take his eyes off of her. The way her hips moved, her breast bouncing slightly, the ever-increasing amount of skin of her stomach being reveled as she lifted her arms up along with her hair. But when he saw two guys climb up to join her Alec jumped into action. He made his way quickly through the crowd until he was underneath her. He grabbed her legs causing her to fall into his arms and he hurried back to the table. “You didn’t like my dancing?”
“No, I liked it but I think some others liked it a little too much.” He said glaring in the direction of the two guys. He plopped down into his chair with her in his lap. When Alec set down Liz felt dizzy and practically fell off of Alec’s lap.
“Whoa, what’s wrong?” Alec asked. He looked at Liz and saw that her eyes were all glazed over like she was drunk. But she didn’t drink.
“Don’t know. Dizzy and my tongue feels heavy.” Liz slurred.
“Dude, she looks drunk.” Sketchy said.
Liz smiled at Sketchy, “I’m not drunk, the room just won’t quit spinning.”
“Liz, what have you been drinking?” Alec asked.
“Just my coke.” She giggled as she picked it up for another drink but Alec stopped her. He sniffed it and could tell it was loaded with whiskey. He sipped it to confirm it. He knew she hadn’t mixed up the drinks because he knew his own had whiskey in it too. The bartender had put liquor in both of them.
“Alec, maybe someone put something in it.” Sketchy suggested.
“No, she’s got some kind of allergy to alcohol or at least that’s what she said.” Alec managed to get out before Liz turned and pulled him into a kiss as she straddled him. She began kissing his neck and Alec loved the feeling that her soft lips on his neck but knew that she wouldn’t be so bold if she was sober. It also explained her tabletop dancing.
“Liz,” Alec tried to say and pull her away without hurting her.
“Don’t you want me?” She smiled.
“That’s the understatement of the year, but you’re drunk. I want you to remember a night with me in the morning.” He said before saying to Sketchy. “See if you can find Ava. Tell her what happened and tell her I’m taking Liz home.”
Alec gathered Liz up and started stirring her towards the door. They were almost there when Ava popped up. “How much did she drink?”
“Half a glass. But it didn’t taste too strong.” Alec stated. “Go ahead and stay. I’ll take her home.”
“No, I’ll do it.” Ava said. She knew that Liz might not think about hiding her powers and didn’t want her to put a show on for Alec. She had seen how Rath got when he drank and Ava had told her about Max and Michael’s experiences. Luckily Liz didn’t appear to be as bad off as Michael. She had been so busy with Jonathan that she hadn’t seen Liz’s dancing display.
“There is no way you can get her home on your own. We’ll both go.” Alec compromised. Ava agreed and they got Liz out of there. They got to the girls’ apartment building quickly and Alec carried Liz upstairs. It was difficult because Liz was still teasing him with her mouth. 'She's killing me. If she keeps this up I won't be able to stop from doing what I want to do.'
Alec deposited her on her bed before Ava shooed him out. Once he was gone and she knew the door was shut, Ava used her powers to knock her out. “You’ll thank me in the morning.” She muttered to Liz’s sleeping form. She undressed her as best she could knowing that the leather pants would be uncomfortable to sleep in before heading out to the living room. Alec was sitting on the couch waiting for her. “She’s asleep.”
“Good.”
“You know most guys would have just taken them back to his bed.”
“I might like to have her in my bed but I don’t want her to be drunk to be with me.” Alec stated. “Is it your guys allergy that makes you such lightweights?”
“Something like that. She’ll be out the whole night so you can head on home.”
“Tell her to call me tomorrow.” Alec said before leaving. He didn’t really want to but he knew Ava would take care of her. He needed to go take a cold shower anyway.

The next morning Liz woke up not really remembering what happened but she had an idea. She stumbled into the kitchen for coffee. As she made it Ava appeared. “Morning.”
“Morning” Liz mumbled. “I didn’t do anything stupid did I?”
“Only if you include getting on top of a table and dancing for everyone to see while using your powers to create a light show. And practically raping Alec."
"I didn't." Liz asked paling at the thought.
"Well not the powers part, just the rest. Thank Alec for it not ending up worse. He was smart enough to get you out of there. He told me to have you call him. He thinks it affected you so bad because we’re ‘allergic’ to alcohol.”
"I'll go call him and apologize.” Liz said. She went into her room, grabbed her cell phone, and called Alec. He claimed it was okay and Liz felt better. After that Liz would make sure and check her drinks whenever they went clubbing.
