Eric walked into the restaurant, he paused for a moment. He saw Mr. Collins sitting at a table alone waiting for him and Wes to arrive. Eric put his head down. How was he going to tell him that Wes was gone? Eric wasn't sure what to say, he needed more time, but he wasn't going to get it. Mr. Collins had looked up and saw Eric standing in the door way, waving him over. Eric took a deep breath, "Well here goes nothing," he said softly as he walked over to the table.
Mr. Collins seemed happy to see Eric. To him Eric was like another son. "Eric, it's good to see you. Where's Wes?" asked Mr. Collins happily. He had no idea what Eric was about to tell him.
Eric was silent for a moment; this was probably one of the hardest things he would ever have to do. He began fiddling his spoon around, trying to find some distraction.
Mr. Collins could tell by the way Eric was acting that something was up. He placed his hand over Eric to stop him from playing with his spoon, as a parent would do to a young child. "Eric what's wrong, has something happened to Wes?" Mr. Collin's seemed very concerned if something terrible had happened to Wes, he didn't know if he would survive. "Is he hurt, oh no please no don't tell me,"
Eric knew where Collins was getting at; he could no longer be silent. "No," Eric looked down not being able to face him. "He's gone away," said Eric softly.
"Gone, what do you mean gone?" asked Collins not understanding what Eric was trying to get at.
Eric took another deep breath he reached down in his pocket pulling out the two morphers. He then placed them in front of Collins.
Mr. Collins looked down at the two morpher red and pink, he was speechless. "Wes," said Mr. Collins softly as he grabbed a hold of his son's morpher.
Wes and Alex were in Alex's apartment. Alex was in his bedroom, leaving Wes to look around in the living room. Wes walked around looking at photos Alex had on his desk. Some were family pictures of relatives, while the other pictures were of Jen and Alex together. Wes put his head down feeling guiltily all most. If I had never meant Jen, they would still be together.
"Wes, I have the stuff ready," said Alex, breaking Wes from his thoughts. Wes turned around walking over to Alex to the bathroom.
Alex handed Wes a can of black hair spray. Wes about laughed when he grabbed a hold of it. "Let me guess, we want people to believe I'm you," said Wes smiling at Alex.
"That would be the idea, I'm sure a man of your style will have no problem doing it," said Alex patting Wes on the shoulder.
"I'm sure I can handle it, this does wash out though right," asked Wes looking right at Alex.
Alex had to laugh a little; he had thought the only one that worried so much about their hair was Lucas. "Yes, you have nothing to worry about your parish hair. I'll leave you to it, and then put on that extra jump suite I have its sitting on the counter," said Alex.
Wes looked over and saw the jump suite which looked like the same one Alex was wearing. "Thanks, I can handle it from here," said Wes. Alex nodded his head and then walked out of the bathroom leaving Wes to himself.
Alex sat down on his couch in front of him was his coffee table where he had a picture of Jen and him. The picture was a few years old; he never had gotten around to putting it away. Alex grabbed a hold of the picture, looking at it. Back then it was him and Jen, together forever or so they thought. Alex laid the picture frame back down on the table. He put his head down, "What am I doing," he said softly. Inside he knew what he was doing, giving Jen what she wanted, even if what she wanted wasn't him. Alex's thoughts were interrupted when the door bell ranger. Alex slowly got up from his couch walking over to the door.
Alex opened the door to find, Lucas, Trip and Katie at his door. He went to the side letting the three walk in. They were all in their Time Force uniforms. Lucas's studied Alex appearance noticing that something was wrong with him.
"Hey Alex you alright you seem, kind of down?" asked Lucas kindly.
Alex looked at Lucas wondering to say to him when. "Hey Alex, I think I'm all set," said Wes walking over to the group.
Katie, Trip and Lucas were all in amazement the two of them looked exactly alike. "Woo," said Trip excitedly.
Katie walked up to the double grabbing a hold of him face. "Alex I didn't know you had a twin," said Katie smiling at Wes. Wes grabbed a hold of her hands releasing from his face.
Alex just shook his head. "I don't," said Alex looking at the three.
Lucas as well as Trip and Katie were stunned by this look alike double. "Then who is this?" asked Lucas looking at Wes, not recognizing his friend.
"Guys it's me!" said Wes looking at his three friends, not believing they couldn't tell it was him. Trip, Katie and Lucas all took a hard look then it came to them.
"WES!" they all yelled.
"Yeah, it's me," said Wes smiling. Lucas, Trip and Katie couldn't believe it, before Wes was just a look a like for Alex. Now he was mirror image for Alex, making it almost impossible to see a difference between the two.
"Good, part one of my plan is complete," said Alex looking at the four.
