Rating: R for language and violence

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Roswell or X-men.

Note: In Roswell it will be after Alex supposedly died. With the X-men probably after X2. There might be some mistakes though, I haven't seen the movie or the show.

Warning: Roswell fans who like Max and Liz together might not want to read this. I can't guarantee his safety in this fiction.

Summary: The aliens aren't the only ones with secrets.

Prologue

Jeff Parker was sitting at the back of the Crashdown with his wife Nancy who was handling the books for their business. This left him pondering the memories he thought he had left behind years ago when he ran from the military base that he was working at, with two children in tow none the less. He owed it to their father especially after the experiments and the torture that he had to endure some of them at Jeff's own hand. He hung his head in shame because in his eyes he had failed in his attempt to keep both twins safe. With one dead, what was to become of the other?

*Flashback*

Stryker's glare was so full of hatred that anybody else would have wished to just died on the spot rather than come face to face with him. He was always one that took selfishly from anybody and when the time came tossed them aside or killed them. "Jefferys, the doctors have finally sedated the subject, go and tell them to take a DNA sample. If something goes wrong I want to have all my bases covered."

"Yes Sir." Jefferys saluted and left.

************************************************************************

Jacob Jefferys looked down at his bloody hand and up at the wall that moments before he had put his fist thru. He felt the gentle and loving arms of his wife Mandy go around him and if by magic all the tension left his body leaving him leaning limply against the wall.

"Jacob I talked to the Whitmans today and they agreed to help. I told them that we'll be going by new names and that we were looking for someone to watch out for the boy but I didn't give them any details. I don't think that they wanted to know anyways."

"Oh Mandy, I just wish that I had never gotten you involved in my work." It hurt because if they were caught taking the children, then they both faced death at Stryker's hand.

"I know!" Mandy finally growled, her eyes burning with anger. "But if what you told me is true, I can no longer leave them in the hands of the military than I could if it was you. So for now on we'll just have to be Jeff and Nancy Parker because we're in this together damn it!"

Jacob was still scared for his wife bet extremely proud of her strength. It was that strength that they were going to need to get them through the tough times.

************************************************************************

The rescue went down without any real problems, but now they were in Roswell and it was time to split them up. Jeff looked down at 7 year old twins Wolf and Coyote (a.k.a, like Wolverine) who acted more like one person, two children with one soul. It was a shame to split them up but he had to do it for their own good. His old friends the Whitmans were going to take the boy in, but at his request they weren't adopting him because he planned on finding their real father.

Jeff knelt next to the girl who had tears streaming down her red and puffy face. "Coyote, do you see why Wolf has to go baby?"

Trembling she looked up at him with her wise eyes knowing the answer but fearing it to. "S-so that the b-bad m-men don't f-find us." she stuttered.

Jeff sighed, wishing that he could take their pain away. "That's right, and until I can find your Daddy that's how it has to be right now. But both of you have to remember until then... Wolf, the Whitmans are your parents and Coyote, Nancy and I are yours and never under any circumstances show anybody your special abilities."

Alex sniffled then asked" Like how we're stronger than others, can see, hear, and smell stuff better than normal people, and these...?" 'Shlitz" Wolf looked down at his newly acquired claws that were courtesy of the Stryker.

"That's right, but I'm also talking about talking together in your head, healing yourselves and others, and the fact that both of you can go invisible." Just then a doorbell could be heard. "That's probably the Whitmans now." Jeff said before getting up to answer the door. He paused before reaching the door and on a hunch looked back and saw the twins clutching each other as if their lives depended on it. Feeling guilty Jeff left with his head low and tears in his eyes wishing that there could have been another option open to them but at the same time knowing that if they were being hunted the military and most importantly Stryker would expect Wolf and Coyote to be together.

*End Of Flashback*

From that day forward Alex and Liz as they now called themselves spent as much time as they could together often dragging along their mutual friend Maria. Seeing each other on a daily basis seemed to keep them sane and grounded in a way that no other had ever done for them. Just remembering the contentment that you could see on their faces while being in the company of the twins brought a smile to Jeff's face. But that was then and this is now. Alex is dead and Liz is lost without her brother. If only he could...

That thought was cut off as a bullet slammed into his skull and he fell into darkness with Nancy not far behind him.

Minutes later an explosion could be heard from miles away as flames blew the once thriving restaurant and lives would forever be altered as a result.
