"ALEX HAS POWERS!?!" Michael shouted.
"Nice goin' Spaceboy," Maria muttered.
Michael's eyes widened, after all the times he had lectured Maria on making sure she didn't let anything slip, he was the one to slip up. He turned his head slowly and noticed everyone in the cafe staring at him.
"Yes Alex has Austin Powers 3, it's hilarious," Maria said loudly.
Michael sighed with relief as he noticed the customers go back to their business.
"What would you do with out me?" Maria asked with a smile.
Michael smirked at Maria before turning his attention to Liz.
"I don't understand this," Michael said. "How can Alex have powers?"
"Well he was possessed by Khivar," Liz said.
"So?" Michael asked.
"There's a possibility," Maria said.
"What are you two getting at?" Michael asked.
"Well when Max healed me he changed me," Liz said. "What if when Khivar possessed Alex he changed him."
"It still doesn't make any sense," Michael said. "When Max healed you the change was very small. The type of powers that you say Alex as has, well that would..."
"That would what?" Maria asked.
"That would make him one of us," Michael said.
"Alex a Czech?" Maria asked.
Michael nodded.
"But wait how could that be?" Liz asked.
"I'm serious," Michael said. "Over the years we've been developing our powers. Learning new ones, some similar to the ones you just described."
"But Alex is human," Liz said.
"I know," Michael said. "It just doesn't add up."
As they continued discussing the possible reasons behind Alex's powers, a tall blonde walked up to the booth in which they sat.
"Hey guys," a voice broke into their conversation.
All three heads turned to meet the gaze of Isabel Evans.
Isabel quickly took notice of their reactions to seeing her. Liz smiled at seeing her. Michael looked away, avoiding eye contact. While Maria simply glared at her.
"Isabel I'm glad your here," Liz said moving farther into the booth. "Here take a seat."
"I got here as fast as I could," Isabel said as she took the seat next to Liz. "So where's Alex?"
"He's at a motel right now," Liz said. "I'll take you to him later."
"And how is he?" Isabel asked uneasily.
"He's...He's...," Liz paused. "Well I don't know how he is, I mean he looks great. His hair's a bit longer, he's filled out very well. Yet, he seems so despondant, distant, it's like I don't even know him anymore. I mean I look into his eyes and their just so empty."
Isabel felt a pang of remorse in her chest, but she quickly pushed it down.
"So what were you guys talking about?" Isabel asked.
"Let's wait for the others to get here," Liz said. "I don't know how many times I can keep repeating it."
"Liz?" a soft voice from behind her asked.
Liz tensed as she heard the voice that had caused her both much happiness and sadness of her life. Slowly she turned in her seat and looked upward into the face of Max Evans.
"Hi Max," Liz said.
Alex's Motel Room
August 05, 2006
11:45 AM
Alex sat at the desk in the motel typing on his laptop. So far everything was going according to plan. He had been on the internet for several hours visiting websites frequented by the skins leaving suttle hints that he was in Roswell. He didn't want to come out and say 'Hey I'm in Roswell, come and get me'. After all the key to an ambush is the element of surprise. Everything was almost in place, soon every skin in the world would be heading towards Roswell, New Mexico. But still he had more preparation to do, Alex got up from his seat and moved to the telephone by the bed. Alex reached for the phone when a bolt of searing pain shot through his arm.
"Aaaarrrggghhh!!!Dammit!!!" Alex screamed grabbing his arm.
Alex stumbled around the room bumping into every object in his path. He fell to the floor clutching his arm, it felt like his entire arm was on fire. He convulsed on the floor trying to concentrate on his breathing, soon afterwards the pain subsided. He laid on the ground gasping for breath. He began looking around frantically for the phone. The phone laid several feet away from him on the floor, apparently knocked over during his recent episode. He reached for it pulling it towards him.
Alex started dialing with one thought in mind, he didn't have much time left.
The Soap Factory

12:48 AM
A young man adorned with tatoos and piercings dropped a body in front of what appeared to be a young child.
"That friggin retard," Rath spit out. "She wasn't suppose to kill him."
"Of that I am aware," Nicholas said.
"What do we do now?" Lonnie asked walking up to the two of them.
"You know you coulda helped wit diggin him up," Rath snapped at Lonnie.
"I was supavisin," Lonnie said.
Nicholas placed his hands on the bodies head. He concentrated a few moments before standing up again.
"That fool," Nicholas cursed. "There's nothing to work with, the brain is completely fried. The body is no good."
"You want me to get rid of it?" Rath asked raising his hand towards it
"Not yet," Nicholas said.
Nicholas placed a baseball sized orb on the ground, and stepped away from it. Suddenly a flash of light came from the orb, and standing before him was a hologram of Khivar. Back on Antar Khivar stood in the communications chamber, the hologram of Nicholas, Lonnie, Rath, and the body appearing before him.
"What have you to report?" Khivar asked.
"The body is no good sir," Nicholas said. "We could revive it, but the brain is just too far gone to be restored. Needless to say you cannot inhabit the body."
Nicholas noticed another hologram taking form next to Khivar.
"What's going on here?" Tess asked her holographic form appearing.
"You weren't supposed to kill him," Khivar said.
"It was an accident," Tess said with tears in her eyes. "He was my friend, I didn't mean to kill him."
"You sure do have a strange way of showin your friendship," Lonnie mocked.
"Screw you," Tess said.
"You dont' understand Tess," Khivar said. "I needed that body, I'm dying, my age is finally catching up to me."
Tess was shocked by Khivars revelation, she had been unaware of his intentions towards Alex.
"But what would have happened to Alex?" Tess asked.
"Eventually I would have taken total control and his mind would have died off," Khivar said.
"You never said you would hurt the humans," Tess said.
"I never said I wouldn't," Khivar countered.
"This isn't supposed to be happening," Tess said.
Khivar placed a hand on Tess's shoulder.
"There, there everything will be alright, go back to your room and we will discuss this later," Khivar said. "You don't want to upset the baby."
Tess slowly made her way back to her room. Her mind was in a state of confusion, nothing was turning out the way it was supposed to. As soon as Tess left the communications chamber Khivar motioned for a guard.
"I want her under constant surveilance," Khivar said.
"Yes sir," the guard said before leaving.
"Nicholas," Khivar said. "Plan B."
"Yes sir," Nicholas said switching off the communication orb
Nicholas walked to a nearby table and took a bag off of it. He placed the bag next to the body and backed away from it.
"Alright everyone on three," Nicholas said raising his hand at the body.
"One"
Rath raise his hand towards the body.
"Two"
Lonnie aimed her hand at the body.
"Three"
All three concentrated their powers on the body as it began to glow. Slowly but surely they began to revive the body. The heart began to beat, the lungs began to fill with air, and most importantly the blood began to flow through it's veins.
When the process was over Nicholas bent over the body and checked it's pulse.
"The body is completely revived," Nicholas said.
Suddenly the body began to twitch and shake violently.
"Yo, what's happenin?" Rath asked.
"It's like I said I said before the brain is completely fried," Nicholas said. "The nerve impulses that the brain sends to the body are still there. But there erratic and irregular, the body doesn't recognize it and now it's trying to function using those impulses. But obviously it isn't working, man she really put the squeeze on his mind."
Nicholas removed a syringe from the bag, and inserted it into the bodies arm. He withdrew a significant amount of blood before turning to Rath.
"Now?" Rath asked.
"Do it," Nicholas said.
Rath raised his hand in the direction of the body, instantly the body was engulfed in flames.
The three of them watched as the body of Alex Whitman burned to ashes.
