Visions start to become real.

"Alex, come on!" Claudia giggled, as she saw the Crash Down Café come into view, and she pressed her face into the window, shaking her head. "Aw, I don't see her."

"Stupid, she's not here! She died in the crash… I don't know why you think our parents are even alive in this life time! Why do you put us through this torture?"

"I put us through this torture because I'm the older twin," Claudia said with a glare, as she pushed him inside of the Crash Down, and she glared at him. "I'm hungry, anyways…"

"You do know we have to pay for food, right, Claudia? We don't even have a dollar to eat," Alexander grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest, his dark eyes looking to his sister.

As he looked in between the two of them, he shook his head, and he frowned. They were both wearing cut off jean shorts and tank tops.

"Our mother and father are not here. I honestly don't know why after four years you can't give this shit up…!"

"Don't talk to me like that, Alexander!" Claudia growled, as she pushed him forward, and she shook her head. "We haven't found anywhere to live, Alex. We're twelve fucking years old and our parents Zan and Evangeline are around here somewhere…"

"C'mon Liz," Max sighed, as he walked out through the double doors after Liz, and he shook his head in disbelief, not caring that customers were watching them. "It's really not that bad…!"

"Not that bad? Are you on crack, Max? I can't remember shit and you say it's nothing! You're lucky. You got to grow up with Isabel and Michael. I am getting all these memories! It's not good!"

"Liz, you need to be quiet," Max said with a shake of his head, as he grabbed her hand, and he kissed her fingertips. "Look, I cannot even imagine what you're going through, but we're all here for you."

Liz sighed, as she let a few tears fall, and she shook her head, walking past Claudia and Alexander where Max followed right after her, the chiming bells ringing of the door when they were out the door.

Alexander gasped. "That was them, wasn't it?"

Claudia looked at Alexander with a roll of her eyes. "My God… are you stupid or something?"

Alexander was about to say something with Claudia grabbed his arm, pulling him out the door.

"Should we follow Max and Liz?" Maria asked softly, as she looked in between Ava and Zan, and she plopped down on the stool next to Zan. "I mean, Liz is obviously upset about something…"

"No," Ava said, as she held up her hands, and she bit down on her bottom lip, looking over at Zan before she turned her attention back to Maria. "They really need to sort things out."

"Who were those kids that just left?" Michael asked out of curiosity, approaching them, standing behind Maria, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"What kids?" Zan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know. They were watching Liz and Max. The girl seemed to be the one in control. I think they might be related," Michael said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Zan looked at Ava, who just smiled just the slightest because she wasn't right.

"I don't know, Michael, but who knows… they might come back," Ava said, as she poured some more orange juice for Michael, and she walked away.

. . . . .

Claudia pulled Alexander with her, standing right before the entrance of the alley. Since she was the nosy one, she wanted to know what exactly was going on inside, and she bit down on her lower lip. Being the curious one, Alexander carefully looked at his parents, and he smiled. He guessed that his parents weren't together because he remembered what it was like when his parents would get into a huge fight.

"Evangeline, I didn't do shit! I don't know why you don't believe me!" Zan cried out, as he looked over at his wife, who was glaring at him.

"You two were alone… for gods knows how long! What the hell am I suppose to even think, Zan? That bitch has been after you way before we even got together!" Evangeline sobbed, as tears filled inside of her eyes, and she shook her head. "I just can't take it!"

Zan pulled her close, oblivious to the fact that their kids were standing in the hallway, watching them, and he shook his head, tracing his thumb across her cheek, while he cupped it.

"I love you, my beautiful flower. We have two beautiful children. Why the hell would I ruin what the two of us have to go after a woman that has nothing to offer me?" Zan asked with a raised eyebrow, as he pulled her close, and he tilted her chin up. "I meant those vows when we got married. I plan on being with you through good and bad times."

"But Zan-"

"Just shut up, Evangeline," Zan growled low in his throat, as he leaned in, and he fused his lips against hers very gently, just trying to get through to them.

"Eww!"

Zan broke the kiss, seeing his two twins that were about five. He saw that it was Alexander that was making the noise and that Claudia was smiling.

"Liz, come on. You have everyone here that loves you…"

Liz frowned, as she ran her fingers through her hair, and she leaned against the brick wall of the building. "Max… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lash out at you. It's just… my whole life has been a lie. I never even knew I was different. I never knew that Michael was my brother and I am remembering all these things. Hell, we just saw a flash from our past of me giving birth to Claudia and Alexander? I really don't even want to remember what happened that got us sent here. I just have a feeling that I don't… have a choice."

Max took hold of her hands and he gave her a small smile. He knew he shouldn't be smiling, but being around Liz made him feel good, and he stroked her knuckles with his thumbs. "I wish that there was something that I could do for you, Liz. If anything, I'd take your pain away."

"I just don't know why I am the one that remembers anything. I mean, you were king, Max. I just don't understand," Liz explained with a deep breath leaving her lips, and she looked into his eyes. "I really am sorry that I yelled at you in front of everyone."

Max shrugged his shoulders, as he looked into her dark eyes, sliding one of his hands to her cheek, giving her a smile. "Don't be sorry. You're going through a lot all at once. I don't blame you for anything. If anything, it's that bitch, Tess. Trust me… when I see her, I am going to give her a piece of my mind…"

"Max, are you sure that's a good idea to go along? You should take Zan and Ava with you, at least. Ava and Tess have somewhat the same powers," Liz confirmed, as she looked into his eyes, and she looked away with a deep breath leaving her lips. "Maybe you should do it today. Michael's suppose to take me to Vasquez Rocks to help me control my powers…"

Max nodded his head, as he looked into her eyes, and he felt like someone was watching. Looking around their surroundings, he saw two kids staring at them, and he raised an eyebrow. When they saw them, they ran off, and he frowned. He looked at Liz, seeing that she saw them, as well.

"Liz, do they look familiar to you?" Max asked with curiosity in his eyes, as he then led her out into the alley, seeing that the two kids were gone from his sight.

"They do," Liz said softly, as her eyes went wide, and she turned to look at Max. "M-Max… I think I know who those two kids are…"

"You do? Who are they, Liz?"

"Max, I think that was Claudia and Alexander… our children from the past…"
