Alex's Motel Room

"Alex are you okay?" Liz asked through the door to the bathroom.
"Yeah, just give me a minute," Alex said gasping for air.
"I'm here if you need me," Liz said as she listened to Alex vomitting on the other side of the door.
After a few minutes Alex came out of the bathroom and laid on his bed.
"What's wrong?" Liz asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I wasn't prepared," Alex said. "If I don't focus before I use my powers it throws off my equilibrium, disorientates me, makes me nauseous."
"Powers?" Liz asked. "How did you get powers?"
"It's complicated," Alex said.
"Well I've got plenty of time," Liz said.
Alex remained silent.
"Please Alex," Liz said. "Don't shut me out, explain to me."
"It's difficult for me Liz," Alex said. "Really difficult."
"Alex," Liz said. "You never talked about what happened when you were...were...."
"Possessed by Kivar," Alex finished.
"Talk to me Alex, I'm listening," Liz said. "I'm here for you."
"It all started a soon after Max's little trip to New York," Alex started.

Alex walked quickly down the street towards Isabel's house. It was cold that night but Alex felt like walking, that and the fact that his car was in the shop. He had wanted to see Isabel to ask her if she wanted to see a movie or go stargazing. Alex felt he and Isabel were becoming more distant. And he wanted to change that, even if Isabel was still giving him the "Alex you're such a great friend" speech. Alex still felt as if he had a chance with Isabel.
As Alex was coming up to her house he noticed Isabel standing on the porch as if waiting for someone. Alex smiled as he saw her, even in all her winterwear she still looked beautiful. He was going to call to her when he noticed a truck pull up and stop out in front. Isabel ran as quickly as she could to the truck as Grant Sorenson got out of it. Alex stood and watched as Isabel gave Grant a kiss and hugged him. Grant whispered something in Isabel's ear to which she laughed and kissed him again.
Alex stood there watching them before they got in the truck and left. Grant had seen him and given him "Hey Kid Look What I've Got" look. But Isabel didn't even notice Alex was there, as if he didn't exist. Having nothing better to do Alex started walking home. As he walking Alex was thinking.
'Why do I even bother?' Alex thought to himself.
After all that he had done for her she still wouldn't give him the time of day. Keeping her secret, lying to the authorities, helping her during her pregnancy scare. He had everything for her and she didn't appreciate one damn thing about it. She once told Alex that she couldn't even think of a guy. Well Grant must be one extraordinary guy.
'What does even she see in him?' Alex thought.
Is it the fact Grant was close to a decade older than Isabel? Is it because he's a geologist? Is it his rugged good looks? Does he even have rugged good looks? Why do younger people perfer older people, and older people perfer younger ones?
All these thoughts filled his head that he didn't hear the footsteps closing in on him.
He was surprised when a strong spair of arms wrapped around him in a bear hug. Suddenly someone placed a hand on his forehead and he felt himself slip into unconsciousness.
But not before he heard a familiar voice say,"Nighty night Opie."
