Summary: If you haven't read What the Future Holds, you'll be totally lost. This takes place about a year after What the Future Holds ends. When 2020 Roswell is taken captive by an unexpected enemy, the offspring of the pod squad must now ask for help..... from the past.
Category: Max/Liz
Author's Note: Okay, since there are now TWO sets of the podsters (the teens and then their future selves). So to make it easier, if it's one of the FUTURE people talking, they'll have an (F) in front of their name. If it's the teens from the past, it'll just be their name. Got it? :)

The Evans' Household - Roswell, New Mexico
Both groups of podsters stood around the table, some sitting, some standing, trying to devise a plan on how to get the hostages free and bring the rebels down, without the hostages knowing who and iwhat/i they were.
(F)Max cleared his throat. "Alright, Liz is getting the blue prints for the lab, that way you guys," He paused, glancing at the past podsters, "Can get an idea of how it's set up."
"Found it!" They heard (F)Liz announce from the back room. After a little rustling of boxes, (F)Liz stepped out of the storage room and walked into the kitchen, spreading the blue prints out on the table.
"Here's the main entrance." (F)Max pointed on the map. "Now, there are 3 other entrances besides this one. The docking garage, the back door, and the emergency side door."
"But we can't use the emergency side door because that would set off the alarm." (F)Liz stated and (F)Max nodded his head.
Michael crossed his arms. "So what do you suggest we do?"
(F)Max glanced at the younger version of his best friend. "I say half of us go through the docking garage doors, and the rest go in through the main entrance."
"What if there are guards?" Isabel asked. "I mean, aren't we going to check out the place first?"
(F)Max sighed, and folded his arms across his chest. "If we staked out the place it would take a day to figure out what times they change guards, if at all. Then the next day we'd strike." He paused and looked to his wife, then to the younger version of himself. "I don't think we have that much time."
Max raised an eyebrow. "How much time do you think we ihave/i?"
(F)Michael looked at (F)Max and sighed. "All I remember about MI-63 is that they don't usually wait too long in hostage situations. They can start killing hostages at 24 hours."
"24 ihours/i?!" Maria exclaimed. "How can they get away with this?"
"It's easy, actually." (F)Max answered. "Earth has no foreign alien policy. They aren't even aware of other planets that can sustain life. It makes them an easy target. If this had happened on a planet in Antar's solar system, these actions would not have been tolerated."
"But why are they tolerated here?" Liz spoke up curiously. "I mean, doesn't Earth have any rights in this matter, even though they're unaware of alien life?"
"No one wants to get Earth involved." (F)Max said. "Earth is so far behind in technology that it would probably be destroyed if it were attacked. After Adri returned to rule over Antar, she made a plea to the Powers," He paused when the young group gave him a weird look. "Oh, the Powers are the ruling people over all the galaxies. Adri made a plea to them asking to be able to speak for Earth, and the Powers accepted."
Michael cleared his throat. "Hate to break this nice little chat, but when do you think we should go beat the bad guys?"
(F)Max looked across the table at Michael. "Tomorrow."
"I agree." (F)Isabel said. "It gives us time to prepare and regroup."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Alex looked around the room questioningly. "Speaking of regrouping, aren't we missing someone?"
They all looked around the room, then (F)Alex spoke up. "Yeah, I think mini-me's right we are missing someone."
A light bulb turned on in (F)Liz's head and she waved her arm passively. "Oh, Katie. Don't worry she'll be back at 9."
(F)Max looked at his watch, then looked to his wife. "Honey---"
(F)Liz's eyes widened and she frantically jerked her husbands wrist so she could read the time on his watch. "11:15?!! Oh my god!" She gasped and looked at (F)Max. "She was supposed to be back hours ago!"
(F)Isabel got up and headed towards the phone. "I'll call her cell phone."
(F)Max brought (F)Liz into a fierce embrace. (F)Liz tucked her head under his chin and (F)Max murmured softly, "Don't worry, she's fine."
Max and Liz exchanged a sad glances, and then everyone jerked when (F)Isabel hung up the phone.
"She's not answering it." (F)Isabel said, wringing her hands. "What if they got her?" She didn't care if Katie was her daughter or not. Katie was her niece and she didn't want anything to happen to her. She'd already lost her son as a hostage to these rebels, she didn't need Katie to be captured, too.
"Let's try not to panic." (F)Max said, glancing at everyone.
(F)Michael had a worried look on his face. "I don't like this Maxwell. Maybe we should make our move right now."
(F)Max shook his head. "It would be reckless, Michael. Besides, what if Katie shows up after we leave? We could use her help when we fight the rebels." He paused and looked at his wife. "It's best if we wait till the morning."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and with that the whole group got up to get more comfortable for the night. (F)Max and (F)Liz still stood in the kitchen in a tight embrace.
"I wonder where she is......" (F)Liz whispered softly.

The Middle of Nowhere
"Television."
"Dawson's Creek: The Next Generation."
Katie giggled and slapped Gabriel playfully on the arm. "You can't miss that show! You don't even ilike/i it!"
Gabriel smiled. "I could like it if I wanted to." They'd beeing playing the "Things You Miss Most About Being At Home" game for 15 miles now.
Katie smiled at him. "C'mon that didn't count. Name something else."
Gabriel chuckled a little. "Ok, umm.... watching movies."
"Watching movies with iyou/i." Katie said, causing Gabriel to stop walking. Since they were holding hands, Katie jerked to a stop and looked back at him quizzically.
"Kissing you." His voice was deep and it caused a shiver to go down Katie's spine. He stepped closer to her and tucked a stand of hair behind her ear. He brought his hand around to the back of her neck, and slowly brought his face closer to her.
When his lips were a breath away from her, she murmured, "You win."
They kissed for a few minutes, then Katie pulled away with a disappointed groan. "I'm sorry, but we've got to save the world now."
Gabriel smiled and took her hand in his again. "Well then, what are we waiting for?"
They walked a few more minutes and Katie screamed in excitement. "We reached the pod chamber! We're only about 18 miles outside Roswell now!"
Gabriel dropped to his knees, then laid down on the ground. "Oh, ionly/i 18 more miles?"
Katie laughed, and just then she realized she was out of breath. She walked over and laid down beside Gabriel.
"Maybe I can reach my dad now." Katie said and Gabriel turned his head towards her with a hopeful look on his face.
"You think so? I mean, as much as I'd love to kill myself walking another 18 miles, it'd be okay if someone came and picked us up.... really it would." When she giggled he smiled even more. He loved Katie more and more every day.
Katie closed her eyes and concentrated on her father. Sometimes she was able to talk to him telepathically. Only on rare occasions though. She'd only done it a few times. The closer she was to him the more likely he would hear her.
After a few moments passed Katie let out a frustrated sigh.
"Try your mom." Gabe suggested and Katie closed her eyes again and again it didn't work.
"No luck?" Gabe asked and she sat up and shook her head.
"Sorry, it looks like we're both going to get an extra long work out." Katie said and Gabriel sat up beside her.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Oh well, I guess I could use the training for football season this fall."
Gabe stood up and held out a hand for his beloved. Katie sighed, grasping his hand in hers, as they headed down the trail towards Roswell.
