Summary: A familiar face from the past returns.
Spoilers: Majority takes place after The Departure - with flash backs to
other episodes.
Distribution: ask and you'll probably receive
Notes: I moved the story forward a year, so Liz was shot in 2000 instead of
1999, the Aliens emerged from their pods in 1990 instead of 1989. Also
their will be a small crossover with the WWE at some stage, I'm just not
sure when.
Chapter 2
"Did she get it?" a girl asked the boy.
"Yeah, sure, I gave it to Liz."
"Cool, thanks, here's your twenty dollar."
" Thank's, do I know you from somewhere?" he said.
"I doubt it and just so you know, that is the single worst pick up line ever used."
The girl smirked & walked away, she had some people to see, starting with the Whitman's.
**********
Liz had changed out of her uniform and was wearing short jeans shorts and a red halter neck top.
She turned to face Michael, who had insisted on coming with her. For some reason he felt the need to check on this cousin/sister or whatever, he still felt like he knew her name from somewhere. "Hey Liz, tell me about your cousin"
"Sure, her name is Callee Morse, she's 22, the last time I saw her was in Florida last summer, she is 5"7', brown hair, blue eyes, a major babe, she's on TV, but she and Alex were kindred sprits, they both loved computers and everything technical. She was born here. Her mother died before I was born. From what I've been told, her dad couldn't live in their old house, so he moved them to the trailer park. That huge house on Seymour Drive, that's their house. They moved to Australia in 1994." Liz paused for a moment. "She's one of my best friends, she introduced me to Alex 2 years before she left, made us promise to look after each other, we made a oath to always tell the truth to each other." Liz showed Michael the ring on her right ring finger, "Callee had these ring's made up before she left, there's an inscription inside that says: 4 ever."
Michael scratched his eyebrow, like he does when he gets nervous. "Ok, I kinda need to get back to work now"
"Are you sure you don't want to meet Callee now?" Liz replied, totally confused by his change in behavior.
"Bring her by later" Michael answered as he went back into the Crashdown, staring so intently at the scar on palm of his hand. So intently that he didn't hear Max call out to him.
**********
Liz turned around to look down the street, when she was plunged into darkness because 2 hand covered her eyes.
"Guess who"
"Um, your female, so I'm guessing Heath Ledger is out of the question?"
"Right country, wrong coast"
"Well, is it my favourite Teenage Dirtbag?"
"Ding, ding, ding, give the girl a prize"
Liz whirled around, to be engulfed in a hug by her taller and older cousin, Callee.
**********
Meanwhile, inside the Crashdown Max, Maria, Kyle & Isabel had been watching Liz's interaction with Michael, & where now watching Liz & the stranger with interest.
"Hey Maria, do you know who that girl is?" asked Max
"No, but she looks really familiar."
"I know what you mean" said Kyle, "I think I saw a photo of her, Liz & Alex in Liz's room."
Kyle didn't see the glare that Max shot at him, but Isabel did.
"Max, Max, if only you knew the entire truth" she thought to herself, thinking about what she had been told by Max after Tess left, and what she had overhead in Vegas.
They watched as Sheriff Valenti walked up to Liz outside & started to talk to her. They saw how his face lit up after Liz introduced him to the strange girl, hugging her.
After a few more minutes the Sheriff left them & came into the Crashdown.
"Hey dad?"
"Yeah Kyle?"
"Who is that girl?"
"That's Liz's cousin, Callee, she used to live here with her father, don't you remember Kyle, she's a few years older than you, Maria, Alex & Liz. Her father was my best friend."
"That's right, I used to have to biggest crush on her, especially after she kicked my arse for making fun of her friend M." Kyle sentence trailed off, as he looked over to where Michael was standing at the orders window, staring at not Liz but Callee.
*******
Michael looking away from Liz and her cousin, he looked down at his right hand, it couldn't be her. His Callee moved away & had forgotten about him.
He thought back to the last time he had seen her.
*******
Callee had grabbed her fathers pocketknife, & she & Michael had gone to their secret place.
"I.I don't want you to leave" Michael cried out.
" I don't want to leave you either, you're my family"
"Take me with you"
"We can't, the protection people won't let us, with dad being deaf & all, they don't think he can handle us both"
"I'll be good, just don't leave me with Hank" Michael's eyes brimming with tears.
Callee looked at the small boy, he was only 11, ever since she & her father had found him on the side of the road, they had been inseparable & for the first time she realized just how much he relied on her.
Callee took out the pocketknife, & made a 3cm cut into the palm of her right hand, then taking Michael's right hand she did the same thing, pressing their hands together, she said to him, "We are family, bonded by blood, and nobody can take that away from us. Don't ever forget that, & I promise I will be back to get you one day"
"Promise?" Michael asked.
"Yes", Michael healed both of their hands, just enough that only a scar remained.
Ever since that day, his powers had gone haywire.
*******
A few hours later, Michael was just finishing his shift, he heard Liz clearing her throat behind him.
"Michael, this is my cousin Callee Morse, Callee this is my friend Michael Guerin"
