Kyle rang the doorbell and waited. He knew only Liz was home as Max had
called when he left for work. Luckily, he had been able to get the day off,
which was unusual for a Saturday. Last nights events had been a roller
coaster; learning of Isabel and Liz's pregnancies, the true reason behind
his helping Liz all those months ago, Max's son, about Tess and Kivar, and
about today. He was about to fulfill his worst nightmare, he was going to
have powers, because Max had saved him. Although, maybe it wouldn't be such
a bad thing. He hadn't been able to help Isabel and the others, but with
these powers, he might be able to in the future. Starting with Tess and
Kivar, and the threat to Liz's life.
The door slowly opened and Liz's face appeared.
"Geez Liz, you look like hell. Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"I'm fine, come on in. Let me get cleaned up real quick." She said as he walked inside. Closing the door, she began to go upstairs and was surprised when he followed her. "Umm, Kyle."
"Yes?" he asked nonchalantly
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Following you." he said with a smile.
"Why?"
"Don't know, nothing else to do." He said with a shrug.
"Kyle.." She began
"No, I'm not waiting downstairs. So keep on walking."
"Fine." She said and began up the stairs once more. When they reached the bathroom, she went inside while he waited across the hall.
"So, Liz." he asked through the doorway. "How are we going to manifest my 'powers'?"
"We have to connect." Liz told him.
"We have to.. Does Max know?" he asked in shock.
"Yes." Liz said opening the door. "And he's okay with it."
"Alright, so where to now?"
"The living room." Liz said as she began to walk down the stairs.
Kyle quickly followed her, and they both sat on the couch. "Umm, Liz?"
"Yeah?"
"How do we 'connect'?" Kyle asked unsure.
"We hold hands Kyle, nothing else." She said with a light laugh, and he smiled in relief.
"Good, I didn't want Max upset with me again."
"I know. But it will be okay. Are you okay with this?"
"Yeah, it's just that ever since Max saved me, I've been afraid of what we are about to do. I didn't want to become one of them, until Isabel was hurt."
"I know Kyle. I didn't want it either. That's one of the reasons I left. And, while I was there, I didn't have any powers until Max called. I was terrified of coming back, and that's all he talked about. You should have seen that phone." She said with a smile. "I didn't accept them until it was a matter of life and death. Now, I can't imagine life without them. I know now that I can help, that none of us will be hurt as badly as we could if it was only Max, Isabel, and Michael."
"I understand what you mean. You know, I think I'm ready." Kyle said slowly.
"Alright. But I have to warn. Nothing is secret when we do this. You're going to get flashes of my life, and I'll get flashes of yours."
"Okay Liz, I have no problems with seeing my life. What about you?"
"I've got no problem, but you may see some things you would rather not. Anyways, shall we?" she asked holding her hands out. In answer, Kyle took her hands, and immediately they both started to get flashes.
A few minutes later the flashes stopped.
"You okay?" Liz asked softly.
"Yeah, it wasn't your fault." He said just as softly. "You had no way of knowing Tess would turn. If Max's future self knew anything about Tess' loyalties he didn't tell you. And obviously he didn't. It's Tess and Kivar's fault, not yours. Alex is at peace, but how do you think he would feel knowing how you feel? He'd be the first to tell you that it's bull. Let it go."
"I know Kyle. Max tried to make me feel better all night, though he didn't say anything. I knew by the way he was acting. He was afraid to leave this morning, he only left because you were coming."
"Then you let it go?" he asked concerned
"I'm trying. It will take time. But, I think I'm ready to be normal again. Or as normal as Liz Parker-Evens can be." She said with a laugh.
Kyle laughed with her. "So what powers do we have?" he asked
"Well yours. who knows yet. I don't even know all my powers. We know I can heal, and blow things up." She said with a smile remembering. Then they heard the doorbell ring.
"I wonder who that could be." Liz said standing up and walking to the door, Kyle on her heels. Liz opened the door, then starred in shock at the man on the doorstep.
"Broddy?"
"Actually no, it's Larrick. Can I come in?"
"Sure." Liz said stepping back, and the three made their way to the living room.
"Umm, so what brought you here?" Kyle asked as they sat down.
"You two. Ava and I have been in contact, and she told me about the situation. I came to help you two find all your powers. I have only a couple of days so we have to hurry. But, hopefully it will be enough time. However, there can be no interruptions for us to accomplish this."
"So, what are you saying?" Liz asked
"The three of us need to go somewhere where we wont be bothered." Larrick explained.
"Alright. I can get off work. Can you Liz?" Kyle asked
"Yeah, no problem. But what do we tell everyone as a cover story?"
"How about I needed someone to help me drive to Florida, and you offered?" Kyle asked
"And why are we going to Florida?" Liz asked
"To visit the collage at Gainesville." Kyle said with a grin.
"Kyle, you are a genius." Liz said smiling. "So, where are we really going Larrick?"
"To the reservation. We'll leave in the morning."
"Alright, so where are you going to be tonight?" Kyle asked
"At the UFO Center. I'll be by early, say four."
"Four am?!" Kyle exclaimed in shock. "Geez do you aliens rise early. But why don't I pick Liz up them we pick you up. Less questions equals good thing."
"Alright. I'll see you two in the morning." Larrick said standing up and walking out of the house. Liz and Kyle looked at each other for a minute.
"Well, we better let everyone know." Liz said with a shrug.
"Yeah. Liz?"
"Yeah Kyle?"
"I'm glad it's you."
"Me too Kyle, me too." Liz said with a smile, and Kyle smiled back.
The door slowly opened and Liz's face appeared.
"Geez Liz, you look like hell. Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
