Ok this should be the last chapter, maybe there will be an epilogue i dunno.
i know nothing!!!!!! argh!! Im not even writing this anymore! Its out of my control.
Max and Michael and Tess arrived at the hospital in what seemed like seconds
after Isobel's call. Michael had insisted that Max try and blow somthing up
before they went, just to see if the exchange of powers had gone both ways.
It had but it hadn't been an exchange. Max and Michael now both had the same
gifts. Max couldn't figure out how it had happened but they didn't have time to
think about it.
Liz was dying.
Time seemed to slow down as he, Michael and a bound Tess made their way
to the room that Liz had occupied. As he moved down the corridor he saw Maria
and Isobel stand.
"Where is she?" Max looked at Maria
"She's in theatre Max, her heart stopped."
Max sank into the chair that Isobel had just vacated. Michael wrapped his arms
around Maria and Tess stood trying to escape Isobel's angry gaze.
Maria looked at Isobel. "Isobel, I think we should show them."
Michael looked down at the young woman in his arms. "Show us what?"
Isobel took Max's hand and pulled him up. Motioning to Tess, Michael and
Maria they slipped into an empty room and locked the door.
They all sat in silence as they watched the message from their home planet.
They all noticed Tess look down at the mention of corruption.
When it had finished Max looked over at Tess.
He stood, his body visibly shaking with rage.
"You." He stopped two feet infront of her.
"You, lied to me. You forged messages from my mother" He spat the words out.
"You manipulated me. You ruined the lives of four innocent people. And you
have destroyed the lives of two of them." He paused and looked away unable to
stand the sight of her.
"And you did it for what? Tell me Tess. Tell me why you killed Alex. Tell me
why you wanted to destroy Earth?"
"I did it for Kivar. I remember him. I love him."
"And what about Liz?" His voice lowered to a whisper. Michael took both
Maria's and Isobel's hand.
"She was in the way. She would have stopped you from coming home.So
Nikolas tried to kill her. But don't feel too bad Max, when you saved her before
you stopped her from dying completely." Maria stepped forward.
"Do you know what she told Isobel,Tess? She said that she didn't have anything
worth living for, if Max couldn't love her."
Tess smiled and Max slammed her small body up against the wall.
"I should kill you now and send your remains back to Kivar. But instead I think I shall
just send you back."
Max watched Tess's eyes fill with fear.
"No you can't Max, who will protect earth?"
"We have Ava."
"No Max please?"
"My decision is final." He looked about the room. "Does anyone else object."
No voice filled the room in that moment and Tess wailed in denial.
"Do you know what I pity you for Tess?" Max let her go and walked away.
"You weren't even created to be what you are. You were corrupted by an outside
force, You couldn't have stopped your self even if you wanted to."
With that Max walked out. Slamming the door behind him. Tess looked round
at the three people in the room.
"I suggest you leave. Go home, or leave town. I don't care which but if your not
gone in the morning, Max and I will come for you." Michael looked dispassionatly
at Tess. She looked at them once and then ran for the door and went off in the
opposite direction to Max.
Isobel looked at Michael and Maria. "I think that you should do that test Michael."
She smiled.
Michael walked over to Maria and looked into her eyes for permission.
In that second Isobel knew that she couldn't doubt that they were soulmates.
Maria lifted the back of her shirt slightly and Michael pressed his palm to the small of
her back. Closing his eyes he let all his power flood her gently.
Maria rocked on her heels and closed her own eyes. When Michael finally removed
his palm a small oval glowed from the small of Maria's back. Michael sighed and pulled
her into his arms.
"What Michael, is it there? Did it work?"
Isobel chuckled." Michael tell her you big fool!"
Michael opened his eyes and smiled. "Of course, who else would put up with your
nagging?"
Maria gasped and Isobel shut the door on the two, who were acting exactly how fate
had designed them too. With a small amount of regret she thought of Alex and how
they could be sharing that feeling too.
Max sat beside Liz in her room. They had removed her from Theatre an hour ago
and they had only just let him in to see her. Although she had survived the operation
to repair more damage to her stab wound, the doctor had been hasty in his affirmation
that Liz might not survive the rest of the night.
He had lost so much, so recently, he didn't think he could lose Liz as well.
He took her hand and kissed it, softly brushing his lips over the cool skin.
The room rocked and Max was inside a corridor suddenly. Had he been with Isobel on
his dream walk he would have recognised the place but it looked odd to him.
The room disolved into Liz's rooftop balcony and Max watched as Liz danced with
him. Not him, and older him. He watched himself walk to her window and see Kyle
and Liz in bed together. He watched Kyle nod and Liz slip into the bed in a towel.
He watched himself talk with Liz in her bathroom. And then he watched Liz tell him
that there would never be anyone other than him. He knew all of it then, why Liz
had pretended to him about Kyle, that Tess would leave and Michael would die, and
Isobel and how she couldn't let that happen.
He gasped and then he was back in the hospital room, His lips still pressed to Liz's
hand.
"Oh God Liz."
He laid his head on her stomach and sobbed. All of his grief over the past few months
spilling out in that moment.
"Why do you keep doing this Max. You know why I can't be with you."
He looked up and saw the Image of Liz infront of him.
"You are my soulmate Liz."
She smiled sadly "How do I know it's not another fake?"
"Liz." He stood, suddenly angry. "Why are you giving up? This isn't the Liz Parker I know.
The one who would fight for her friends name to be cleared. The one who would give
up her love so that Michael wouldn't die. Liz, Michael did die tonight, and I brought him
back. Tess is gone."
"Oh God." She looked everywhere but at him. " Everything I gave up it was for nothing."
"No Liz." His voice brought her eyes back to him. "We still have Ava."
The tension in the room rose as they both fought against each other.
"Come back to me Liz. Please?"
That was her undoing. She disappeared infront of him and he sank back into the chair.
His tears flowed steadily down his cheeks and he sobbed against her.
He felt a hand touch his head and he looked up. A bruised and battered Liz opened her
eyes and looked at him and smiled.
"I hope your happy" she smiled through tears as Max brought his mouth gently on hers.
"Always."
