Additional Notes that must be read:
This fic is somewhat AU. Tess still left and Alex still died. Forget Season
three but everything that happened in Season two was the same. The only thing
different is that Liz received her powers after Alex died and Max found a way
to heal her again so that they don’t hurt her. She is still developing
them but instead of the power of premonition all she has shown so far is that
she can melt and blow things up. Kyle knows he will get some soon. Also this
will have Kyle/Isabel scenes because I don’t like to see anyone alone.
Max and Maria still bonded in the mist of last summer and something happened
which has caused to two to carry with them a secret that up until now had never
been thought of or mentioned again. Max had also met Nicholas before the events
in Arizona with the skins.

Chapter One
They were all sitting in the Crashdown mulling over the evens of the past 3
months. Alex had died at the hands of Tess who got pregnant by Max who then
left for her home planet while the other three stayed And due to Max’s
healing Liz had gained powers and Kyle would soon as well. Isabel looked over
to Michael and Maria. She couldn’t help but smile at how happy Michael
looked. He had finally found his home and felt as though he belonged. Maria
to looked happy snuggled in his arms. Kyle just sat there looking dumbfounded.
Isabel had a feeling he thought he was in some kind of dream waiting to be woken.
Max and Liz were a different story. Max looked sad at the loss of his son, while
Liz sat there looking heartbroken. Isabel didn’t blame her. If Michael
hadn’t of opened the door Max wouldn’t have even thought about staying.
He would have left with Tess and there baby and not looked back. Isabel’s
heart went out to the girl even though she didn’t particularly like her.
Isabel herself thought the whole thing to be surreal. Tess had left which was
a plus, she got to stay which was another plus, but the man she loved had to
die. If he was here she knew it would be perfect but he wasn’t and she
knew she couldn’t dwell on the past. Alex wouldn’t have wanted her
to. She looked over at Kyle again who had a confused look on his face. Isabel
couldn’t stop herself from thinking how cute he looked. He caught her
eye and they smiled at each other.
Maria looked at the scene in front of her with interest. ‘Kyle and Iz huh? Never expected it but it works.’ She shook her head and Michael looked at her strangely.
“You ok?” he asked
Maria smiled up at him. “Yeah I am. I love you Michael.”
Michael kissed her softly. “I love you too.”
Silence erupted around the group until someone burst into the restaurant. Max, Michael and Isabel got up ready to use their powers. The intruder looked up at them evilly.
“He’s coming.”
Michael looked at him like he was a nut job. “What? Who’s coming?”
The guy continued not hearing what Michael said. “He’s coming and you will all die. You sent the other away and he wants revenge. He’s coming and you will all die.” With that the guy just turned to dust like the skins did.
Maria looked up at Michael. “What the hell was that?”
Michael glanced at the other two who shrugged their shoulders. “Don’t know. A skin probably, I wonder what he meant? ‘He is coming’?”
Max shook his head. “Well what ever it is we need to take extra care. There’s nothing much we can do considering we don’t really know anything so I say we just be careful and make up a plan to try and fight this guy.”
Michael stood up. “No Max, we need to go out there and find out what or who this is. We just can’t sit here and wait for him to find and kill us. I didn’t stay on this planet to die.”
Max sighed. “I know that Michael but what can we do? There is nothing. We should just come up with a plan---“
“Of sitting around until he kills us.” Michael finished interrupting him.
Maria got up and put a comforting hand on Michael’s shoulder. He just shook it off. Maria tried not to let the hurt show. He was angry she knew that, he wanted to eliminate this thing while Max wanted to do nothing. She understood Michael’s reasons but knew that if she didn’t stop him soon he would do or say something he would regret later.
“Michael, we can’t you know that. We don’t know anything. What if it’s nothing and that guy just came here to scare us or something?”
Michael glared at him. “It’s not a joke Maxwell and we need to do something.”
“Michael---“ Max started but was interrupted.
“Guys stop!” Maria yelled. But as she yelled she swung her hands out and every glass in the room exploded.
Everyone looked at her in shock. Isabel looked at her hands, which were crackling with green energy. “Oh my god,” she gasped
“What the hell?” Michael said looking at Maria.
Maria however wasn’t looking at him but at Max. Max in turn looked at
her wide-eyed. The secret the two shared that originated during the last summer
when Liz had left and they had bonded was about to come out.
