Liz's Balcony
August 5, 2006
12:30 PM

Isabel sat in a chair atop of Liz's balcony nervously waiting to speak with Alex. Alex said he needed to use the restroom, while everyone else was trying to get themselves situated on the balcony. When she had seen him earlier he hadn't even glanced in her direction. She wondered if he could still be upset after all this time.

Isabel broke out of her thoughts when Alex came out onto the balcony. She still couldn't believe it was him, he had changed. Sure his hair was a bit longer, and the goatee definitely made him look different. But gone was his lanky physique, his arms and chest were now covered with well-toned muscles. She noticed that as he moved to sit in his chair, even his walk was different. There was a sort of confidence behind it, as if Alex wasn't afraid of anything.

Everyone had formed a circle using the chairs on Liz's balcony, Alex took a seat in the circle.

"So what's going on Alex?" Michael asked.

"I've come back because I need your help," Alex said.

"What do you mean?" Max asked.

"We're going to kill Khivar and end the war," Alex said.

Movie Theater
January 28, 2002
8:34 PM

Kyle and Isabel exited the theater arm in arm. Kyle was laughing, while Isabel grimaced.

"So what'd you think of the flick?" Kyle asked.

"Well it was kinda funny at some parts," Isabel said.

"Oh come on it was hilarious," Kyle said enthusiastically.

"It was just too gross for me," Isabel said.

Isabel wondered what was going on between her and Kyle. Were they a couple or just good friends? Was their a difference. Tragedy and betrayal had brought the two of them together. And they had leaned on each other for support, and now these feelings were starting to develop into something stronger. It was funny when she thought about it, before Alex's death she had practically never even talked to Kyle. Now they were hanging out more and more. She often found herself wondering about Kyle. Sure at times he could be a bit dense, and he was still freaked out about the whole alien thing. She often wondered how Tess could even put up with him.

"So what do you wanna do now?" Kyle asked.

"Well...," Isabel said. "Do you wanna go stargazing?"

"What?" Kyle asked with a confused look on his face.

"Well it's a clear night I was just wondering if you wanted to go look at the stars," Isabel said.

"Why?" Kyle asked. "It's just that I mean the Lakers are playing the Spurs tonight and I thought we could watch the game together."

"Forget it," Isabel said walking ahead of him.

"No, if you wanna go look at the stars than that's okay with me," Kyle said catching up with her.

"Really?" Isabel asked.

"Yes," Kyle said.

Several minutes later Kyle and Isabel were sitting in the park looking at the sky. Kyle watched as Isabel sat there explaining the stars to him. Now Kyle remembered why he was stuck in remedial science, here was Isabel going on and on about the different names and types of stars. While he could only remember the names of all nine planets. But Kyle didn't mind being out here, it made Isabel happy and seeing Isabel happy made it all worth it.

"Do you see those three stars?" Isabel asked.

"Yeah," Kyle said squinting his eyes.

"Those three are Orion's belt," Isabel said.

"Really?" Kyle asked. "That's um interesting."

Isabel looked over at Kyle, she could tell he didn't really want to be doing this.

"You're bored aren't you?" Isabel asked quietly.

"No, no this is really...," Kyle said.

"Kyle," Isabel said.

"Yes," Kyle admitted. "I'm sorry I'm not getting into this."

"It's okay," Isabel said getting up. "Come on let's get to your house, we can probably catch the last quarter of the game."

"That'd be great," Kyle said placing his arm on Isabel's shoulder.

The Soap Factory
February 4, 2002
12:45 PM

When Khivar had learned of Tess's escape he sent Nicholas and Rath to look for her. It had been close to a month and they hadn't found her. And Alex knew that they wouldn't, Nasedo had taught her too well. Tess had once told him how she would often move from place to place leaving everything behind in order to avoid the special unit. While Nicholas and Rath were gone, that left Lonnie to watch over Alex. Here he was tied to a chair with Lonnie for company.

Alex didn't like being with Lonnie, she would always being playing some sort of mindgames with him. Always trying to get a rise out of him. This time she was trying to play on his emotions for Isabel.

Lonnie straddled Alex's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck

"You died a virgin didn't you?" Lonnie asked. "That sucks, you never knew what it was like to be with a woman. To touch a woman, to taste her, to experience it. That means that you still are a virgin doesn't it?"

Alex remained silent.

"You know," Lonnie said as she leaned forward to whisper into his ear. "I can help you with that problem."

"Don't touch me," Alex said jerking his head away.

"I see you're saving yourself for Isabel," Lonnie said leaning back. "You know were not that different, me and Isabel. After all we both come from the same DNA, we have the same urges, the same desires. I know how she thinks, why she acts the way she does, I am her. The real Isabel."

"You're nothing like her," Alex said gritting his teeth.

"Oh and I suppose you know everything there is about your dear sweet Isabel?" Lonnie said. "You know she's been hanging out with the sheriff's son since you died. They've been getting pretty close, and I'm willing to bet he'll be the one to pop her cherry. And whey they do get it on, they won't even give you a second thought. I guess you didn't mean that much to her anyway. I'm not surprised, I mean I'd choose him over you any day. And do you know you're so-called friends are even trying to get them together. Shows how much they cared about you."

Alex simply sighed and continued to ignore Lonnie. Seeing that she wasn't going to get a reaction out of Alex, Lonnie removed herself from his lap. She sat back in her chair facing Alex.

"I got a question for you," Lonnie said. "Why didn't you leave with Tess when you had the chance?"

"Because it was the only way to get Tess to leave," Alex said. "If I had asked Tess to release me so I could go with her, then she would believe that it was a trick, that I would try to get revenge on her. She was scared and didn't know if she could even trust me."

"Yeah, well when Nicholas and Rath find her she's gonna wish she never did trust you," Lonnie said.

"You're one to talk about trust," Alex said chuckling.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Lonnie asked.

"Don't you get it Lonnie?" Alex asked. "Khivar doesn't want you, he wants Isabel."

Lonnie jumped from her chair and got right in Alex's face.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT!?!" Lonnie asked shouted.

"Khivar is just using you," Alex said firmly. "You mean nothing to him, once he has Isabel and the key to the granolith he's going to leave you and Rath here on earth."

"You're lying," Lonnie said.

Alex felt the usual wave of dizziness that signaled Khivar's impending presence. His eyelids started to get heavy and the pressure in his head grew stronger.

"Ask him," Alex mumbled before he blacked out.

A short time later...

Alex woke up, once again assuming control of his body. Alex found that he could never get used to the process, it was always a shock to his system. First he would be enveloped in darkness, unable to hear or see anything. Suddenly there'd be a bright flash, then everything would be swirling around him, slowly it would stop and when he finally opened his eyes everything seemed foggy and hazy. And everytime he woke up he would find himself tied to a chair. But Alex suddenly became aware of something, he was no longer tied to the chair. Lying on the ground he quickly looked around and found himself alone, he then noticed that he was also completely naked.

Alex felt a stinging sensation on his hands, and when he looked at them he noticed his knuckles were bloody and sore. Alex found his clothes in a pile nearby, quickly he got dressed and started looking around. Nicholas and Rath were still looking for Tess. And Lonnie was nowhere to be found. He looked in the direction of the exit to the factory. Now was his chance, he could escape and warn the others.

'What's going on?' Alex asked himself as he headed for the exit.

Suddenly Alex froze when he heard something, he couldn't place it at first. But soon it became clear to him that someone was crying. Alex followed the sounds to an empty corner of the factory. When he looked closer he saw Lonnie, crying, naked, and curled up into a ball on the floor. Her entire body was covered with cuts and bruises. The entire time Alex had known her he had never seen Lonnie cry, not once. And now here she was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Lonnie?" Alex asked hesitantly.

Lonnie continued crying.

"Lonnie what happened?" Alex asked fearing her answer.

When Lonnie didn't answer, Alex kneeled next to her and touched her shoulder. Suddenly Alex was hit by a rush of images. Alex saw flashes of Lonnie questioning Khivar. Khivar being enraged by Lonnie. Khivar beating on Lonnie. Lonnie fighting back with her powers, only to see they had no effect on Khivar. Khivar ripping off Lonnie's clothes. Khivar forcing himself upon Lonnie again and again.

"Oh my...," Alex gasped as he fell on all fours and began vomiting.

'That bastard,' Alex thought tears stinging his eyes. Alex began to cry, Khivar had raped Lonnie, and he had done it using Alex's body. Alex was so confused, he didn't know what to do. All thoughts of escape quickly vanished from his mind, as he got up and decided what to do.

Alex walked over to a cot that Nicholas often used and removed the sheet from it. He quickly made his way back to Lonnie and covered her with the sheet. Alex picked Lonnie and carried to the cot. Lonnie screamed and shouted the entire time she was in Alex's arms. Alex was shocked when he finally saw Lonnie's face, it was bloodied and swollen.

'Why hasn't she healed herself?' Alex thought as he placed her on the cot and did his best to try to calm her.

Lonnie continued sobbing.

"I'm sorry," Alex said taking her hand in his. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Alex continued this until they both fell asleep from exhaustion.
