Sorry I took so long! And this is a bit short (Sorry but I couldn't remember everything that goes in here)

Chapter 25

"What are we going to do?" Liz asked as she followed Max through the UFO Centre as he sorted out the display and Max shook his head.

"I have no idea, I mean, she decoded the book Liz…" he trailed off and Liz nodded as she stood in front of Max, stopping him in his tracks.

"I know it's scary Max, but this is what you've been waiting for, all the answers to your past," Liz told him and Max cupped her face with his right hand.

"Our past," he whispered and she stared at him before nodding.

"Sorry, still not used to the fact that I had been in your past life," she admitted and Max laughed as he rested his forehead on hers.

"Do you think I am?" Max asked. Liz smiled, sheepish before the UFO Centre was plunged into darkness, causing them to look around.

"What happened?" Liz asked as Max took her hand and led her over to the fuse box.

"A fuse might have gone," Max told her as he looked through the fuse box before eyeing it with interest. "Funny, they all look like they've been overloaded," Max told her.

"What could cause the fuse to overload?" Liz asked and Max shrugged before he moved over to the next box and pushed up the lever and the lights came back on.

"Who knows," Max told her as the generator started humming.

They turned to see Brody making his way over to them, his blue eyes wild and he was holding a gun.

Michael made his way over to the UFO Centre with Tess holding onto his hand.

"Are you sure you are okay about everything?" Tess asked and Michael smiled.

"I'm fine, I'm happy about us and the baby, though I am a little worried about you passing out like that," Michael told her and Tess nodded.

"Maybe it's a alien thing," Tess suggested but Michael shook his head.

"I don't think so, I think it's more than that," Michael told her.

"What do you think it might be?" Tess asked and Michael shrugged.

"I don't know, that why I want to go and see him, maybe he could have a look and see if there is something wrong with the baby," Michael explained and Tess tilted her head.

"Are you ready to let him know?" Tess asked and Michael nodded.

"Yes, if there is a risk toward the baby, we need to know what it is so we can have some idea what to do," Michael told her and she nodded as they stepped into the UFO Centre and made their way down the stairs only to stop short at the sight of Brody holding a gun and his head.

"Brody?" Max asked as Brody clutched his head.

"Yes and no," Brody told him and Max shook his head, confused.

"What's wrong?" Max asked, still keeping his hands up while Liz stood partially behind him.

"I have all these memories that are not mine yet they are mine," Brody told and Michael narrowed his eyes.

"Larek?" Michael asked, causing Max and Liz to look at him startled before Max, Liz and Tess to look at him, shocked while Larek looked at him before lifting his gun, pointing it at him.

"You called me that name!" Brody shouted at him. "How do you know that name?"

"He's just kidding," Max started but his mouth snapped shut when Brody turned to face him with a gun.

"No, I know that name! It's the name of the alien who keeps taking me!" Brody racked his brain. "I was in New York, I don't even remember how I got there you were there," he pointed to Max before looking at Tess and Michael. "So were you two!"

"Brody, I think you might have hit your head harder than you thought, I've never been to New York," Max told him and Brody shook his head.

"Don't lie! You were there!" Brody shouted. Max just took a step back, taking Liz with him while he kept an eye on the gun. He had almost lost Liz to a gun once, he'll be damned if he did this time. "Get over there!" Brody shouted as he pointed the gun over to the display. Max took Liz's arm and led her over to the display and they both sat down.

Tess dragged Michael over to the display and they both sat down while Brody went into the office and came back out with the black hexagon that Max had seen just after the summer and Brody twisted it, causing a bright white light to shoot.

"Now, we're safe," Brody, told them before handing Liz the duct tape. "Tape him and the haired boy up then tape up that blonde," Brody ordered her and she took the duct tape and tied Max's hands up behind his back and did the same to Michael and Tess before she turned back to Brody, who took the duct tape from her and tied her hands together behind her back before shoving her back next to Max.

"This makes no sense," Brody muttered as he paced in front of them and Max looked at him.

"How do you mean?" Max asked and Brody looked at him.

"Well, you and Tess are meant to be together yet you are with Liz?" Brody asked and Max shook his head.

"I refused to follow our so called destiny," Max muttered and Tess was stung at the comment yet kept it hidden, she had hoped that Max would become receptive to the idea but she shook her head, annoyed with him.

"But you and Tess were in love, weren't you?"

"Tess and I never were in love in our past," Max told him. "It was Lilly and Zan," Max told him before looking at Liz. "Liz," he whispered and Brody shook his head.

"No, you were in love with Ava," Brody told him and Max shook his head.

"Our protector made it clear that Ava and Zan were only an arrangement made by his father after Lilly had died," Max told him and Brody nodded, still confused about everything before he turned back to the doors and saw Maria stepping down the stairs with the bags in her hands with Amy following her.

"Hey guys, brought the meal," Maria told them only to for her and Amy to raise their hands when Brody pointed the gun at them.

"Get over there!" he snapped. Both the women moved over next to the others and sat down.

"What's going on here?" Amy hissed and Maria shrugged as she looked at Max.

"He using the computers to try and regain his memories from all the time he blacked out and he thinks we're trying to kill him," Max explained,

"Black outs?" Amy asked and Liz nodded.

"He's convinced he's been abducted," Liz told them and Amy nodded as she turned back to the front and watched as Brody paced the area in front of them before he turned to face Michael and Tess.

"You're not suppose to be together," Brody hissed at them. "You're supposed to be with Vilandra."

"No, I'm with Tess," Michael told him and Brody shook his head.

"Everything is mixed up, nothing is what its suppose to be," Brody whimpered as he clutched his head and Max looked at him.

"Brody, can I talk to you in private?" Max asked and Brody looked at him. "I think I might have answers to what happened you," Max explained and Brody nodded as he moved over to Max and hauled him up before yanking him out of sight with Liz straining her neck, wondering what was going on before she turned back to Maria.

"Did you call Jim?" Liz asked and Maria shook her head.

"Isabel is doing that for us," she told Liz and Liz nodded as she rested her head on the display, hoping to god whatever Max had planned worked.

Jim was waiting outside the UFO Centre with Isabel, Alex and Kyle standing next to him.

"Do you think they are okay?" Alex asked.

"Haven't heard any gunshots so they should be okay. Maria said that Max had a plan when he called her just after Brody first talked to them and was acting weird so we just need to make sure it works first before we go barging in and getting someone shot," Isabel told them and Alex nodded as he started pacing, unable to stand still.

Max and Brody reached the back of the display and Max turned to face Brody.

"You're not crazy," Max told him and Brody looked at him. "Those memories are of an alien Larek, who uses you to contact us whenever he needs to pass information on to us. Ava and Zan were never in love though, you are right when you say that they were together but as far as we know, they never got married. Yes, Rath and Vilandra were together but they are not together in this lifetime so Michael is with Tess and I'm with the real queen, Liz. If you give me my powers back, I can help you get your memories back to normal and make sure those ones will never hurt you again," Max told him.

Brody looked at him for a while before he reached up and twisted the hexagon and gave Max's his powers. Max used his powers to undo the duct tape before reaching over and used his healing powers to help Brody.

Once he was finished, he brought his hands down and Brody opened his eyes and looked at Max, confused.

"Max?" he asked before lifting up his hand that had a gun in it and his eyes widen. "What the hell is going on here Evans?" he demanded and Max shook his head as he took Brody's arm and led him out of behind the display and over to where everyone else was.

Maria nodded as she hurried out of the UFO Centre while Max looked at Tess while undoing Liz's binding.

"Mind warps her!" Max hissed and Tess closed her eyes and mind warped Amy before she opened her eyes and looked at Michael.

"Come on, we're out of here," Michael told her before taking her hand and walking her out of the UFO Centre, with the paper hidden under his shirt.

Max just wrapped Liz up in his arms, holding her close as he kissed her forehead, sighing with relief.

"Come on, we're going home," Max told her and Liz nodded as they both walked past Amy and Maria, stopping.

"Are you okay?" Liz asked, reaching out to touch Maria's arm and Maria nodded.

"What happened?" Amy asked.

"A power cut happened. You walked into the display and hit your head. So did Brody. The doors were locked automatically and the phone lines were cut off too. We couldn't contact anyone till Maria came over to check up on us and found the doors locked and called the police," Liz explained and Amy nodded as she wrapped an arm around her daughter's shoulder while Maria wrapped an arm around Amy's waist.

"Come on mom, let's get you home," she told Amy and Amy nodded as Maria led her out of the building while Jim walked over to Brody.

"Come on, we need to take you to the hospital to make sure you didn't cause any damage when you banged your head," Jim told him and Brody nodded as he let Jim led him out of the UFO Centre while Max brought up with the rear with Liz. He locked the door and the two of them made their way over to the Crashdown for a well-needed rest.

Michael and Tess made their way over to the Pod Chamber, they climbed in it and closed the door behind them before Michael pulled out the papers and flicked through it before walking over to a wall.

"It says here that the key should be behind this wall," Michael told her as he lifted his hand and waved his hand over it, causing a shimmering symbol to show up and he passed his hand through the wall and gripped something long and cool before bringing it out, to reveal a crystal and he flipped through the pages once more.

"Is there anything in there that can tell us how to find out what's wrong with the baby?" Tess asked and Michael nodded.

"Yeah, there is," Michael, told her. "I need to make a connection with the baby," he told her and she nodded as she moved over near the pods and sat down. She lifted her top till it rested under her breasts and Michael knelt down beside her and placed his hand over the stomach.

A bright blue light started up and Michael felt himself sucked through and seeing through the baby's eyes.

He let out a gasp when he came back to reality before looking at Tess. "It's a boy!" he told her and she smiled at him before she regarded his serious expression. "And he's dying."

"What?" she demanded.

"He can't survive on earth, we need to go back home," Michael told her and she looked at him.

"How are we suppose to go back home?" she demanded and Michael flicked through the pages till something caught his eyes.

"By using the crystals but Max and Isabel needs to come with us," Michael told her and she nodded while Michael looked around, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Why would Naesco hide this here?" Michael asked and Tess shrugged.

"Maybe he wanted to make sure our enemies couldn't get to it?" Tess suggested and Michael shook his head.

"Whatever it is hidden for, it says in the book that we need it to go home," Michael told her before placing his hand on her swollen belly. "So we can save our son." Tess looked up at him before leaning in and resting her head on his chest.

As soon her face was out of Michael's sight, a smile appeared on her face.

Max was lying on his side, leaning on his hand and elbow as he watched Liz sleep. They were in Liz's bedroom. The Parkers were out of town due to a meeting. Max reached out and stroked back a lock of Liz's hair, pushing it behind her ear before he let his fingers trail over her cheek, feeling her soft skin under his rough fingertips.

Liz moaned as she shifted her face into his hand, still staying deep in her sleep. Max laid his head down on the pillow and watched her. He could see how her lashes rested on her cheeks. Her cheeks were flushed red. He smiled slightly. She reminded him of an angel whenever she slept when a vibration started up on the bedside table, causing him to grab for it before it woke up Liz.

He flipped it open and saw who it was and sighed before bringing it to his ear.

"What?" Max whispered.

"Where are you?" Michael asked and Max rolled his eyes.

"With Liz, why?" he asked.

"Get over to the pod chamber, I have something I need to tell you," Michael told him.

"Can't this wait?" Max asked. "Liz and I haven't had a lot of them together."

"No, trust me, you're gonna love this," Michael told him and Max arched an eyebrow before rolling his eyes.

"Whatever, I'll be there soon," Max told him before hanging up his phone and he looked at Liz once more with a disgruntled look. He leaned down and kissed her cheek before moving round and kissed her lips.

"Mm, Max?" Liz mumbled.

"I'll be back right soon, Michael wants to see me," Max whispered before he kissed her lips once more and slipped out of the bed. He dressed himself before leaning back down and kissed Liz once more before pulling the covers over her and walked out of the room, leaving her sleeping.

Max found himself at the pod chamber. He made his way into the Granolith chamber and stopped when he saw Michael, Tess and Isabel standing around the Granolith.

"Okay, what was so important that I needed to come down here?" Max asked.

"Michael, what is it?" Isabel asked. Michael looked at Tess, who took Michael's hand and nodded her approval before he turned to face Max and Isabel and handed Max the crystal.

Max took it before looking at Michael, puzzled.

"We need to go home," Michael told them, stunning the both of them.

I know, I'm horrible.
