AN: Alternate Ending to the Summit

Renee Palmer stared at Liam unable to believe what she was hearing, Liam was going to stay behind and blow up the station. She grabbed him. "If you do it you'll not only die but your other self might die to".

Liam smiled; "I'll be ok".

Renee was stunned as quantum Liam kissed her on the lips, did that mean the real Liam felt that way? Petrov grabbed her and pulled her to the portal with him and Da'an. "We have to go, good luck Major god speed".

Renee's last sight was of Liam as the portal took them off the station, please let Liam be alive on the mothership.

They materialized on the mothership and Renee hid as both Petrov and Da'an we're grabbed, the Renee pretended to just happen to come by. "Agent Sandoval what's all the commotion?"

"Petrov is being arrested and Da'an will soon be meeting with Zo'or, and since Da'an has been returned, the major will be released".

Renee watched them walk down the hall then slumped against the wall and began crying in relief, Liam was alive. The next few hours were busy as Da'an vindicated himself and Petrov was remanded to human custody and Liam was freed from the brig, minus his surveillance implant.

He met up with Renee in the hall smiling that dimpled smile, "those things come out a lot easier than they go in".

"I'll just take your word on that, Liam there is something I have to tell you, come to my apartment in an hour". "All right" he watched curious as she walked to the portal wanting the next hour to come really quickly.
