Part 2
3 Years later
Chicago
Xia let out a sigh of frustration as she slammed down the pen on the table. She was getting nowhere, in the last three years she had been through more states and cities than she cared to list and still no sign of them, now in Chicago she was running out of leads. 'Its impossible just impossible' she thought becoming more frustrated 'How am I Supposed to find four alien hybrids with only an old picture of what there supposed to look like'. She stared at the creased picture for what had to be about the hundredth time that month. The picture was of the Roswell four the duplicates of the four she was looking for rite now. It was who her father had told her to look for, her family, they both had been searching for them before his death but had only come up with a few leads. Now those leads were long exhausted and she had been going mostly on feelings slowly heading towards the east coast.
A knock at the door brought her out of her mulling, her Chinese was here. Paying the guy and taking her food to the well worn couch she began to go over her plan in her head 'After I check out this last lead I'll head to Indiana next than to .' her train of thought was interrupted by a sudden increase in the energy level in the room. The air started to swirl and a hum could be heard "what the Hell" she muttered as she got up and began to prowl the room trying to pin point the source of energy. She noticed that the wind was beginning to turn forming a funnel in the centre of the room. Her powers at the optimum, turning her eyes violet and in a fighting stance Xia prepared herself for what ever was about to happen.
Paper went swirling around the room as the funnel got larger taking up much of the standing space in the small living area. Her Chinese went flying and Xia cursed for her wasted dinner.
A bright blue light started to glow from the centre of funnel, as It grew larger it began to take shape until it almost look like a person was standing in front of her. Suddenly the blue seemed to explode in a burst of brilliant light than everything stopped books, clothing and Chinese fell straight to the floor.
When Xia focused she saw a man standing in her living room, immediately she went into attack mode knocking the man off balance than using her powers to freeze him twisting his arms behind his back as if he was being tied by ropes. "Xia stop" the man shouted causing Xia to cease the tightening of her mind ropes. She kept the mind ropes tight enough for no escape as she spoke "Who are you and what are you doing in my living room?" Xia demanded.
The man shuddered at the deadliness he heard in her voice he knew he had to get on her good side fast or his death would be imminent, but he had been warned. "My names Michael Guerin" he got out quickly "I know you know of me, I'm part of the Roswell royal four" he spied the picture on the ground and indicated toward it "See that's me in the picture"
Xia didn't need to look at the picture to recognise the similar features to that Michael and this one, but this one looked different of course it could all be put down to age the other photo was taken about four years ago, but a hard life had taught Xia not to trust many and especially not people who suddenly appear in your apartment. "Yeah and I'm the Easter Bunny, now tell me who you really are, before I really get pissed" she said tightening the ropes with her mind enough so that bruises would form.
Michael said nothing about the increased pain but replied, "Look it really is me. God you said you wouldn't believe. I'm from the future that's how I got here that's why I look different, look I have proof if you unbound at least one hand"
Xia looked at Michael astounded " Yeah that's going to happen Michael sure, look I'm not gonna unbound you so just tell me where your proof is"
Michael was beginning to get annoyed but he knew this would happen 'hey he thought to himself she's a hard case four years from now she's probably worse in the present' "ok ok its in my left jean pocket" he relented. He watched as Xia pulled the photo from him with out even touching him.
Xia took the picture, looked at it and all control left, Michael went falling to the floor his mind ropes lost. The photo was of her and her father taken a year before his death, she had the only copy and she never went anywhere without it, it was all she had from after the attack. She looked at Michael who was rubbing his wrists and stalked over to him grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up "How did you get this photo?" she demanded
"You gave it to me in the future as poof to you" he panted out with lack of air.
She dropped him said, "Stay" and walked out of the room. Michael who had stopped once again in mid-air with the help of Xia's powers just looked on in disbelief.
Xia went straight to her leather jacket and pulled out her own photo, she didn't know weather to sigh in relief or become incredibly confused, she looked again at Michael's photo it was incredibly warn it looked a lot older than her own you'd say they were different photos if it wasn't for the distinguishing marks that time over the last three years had caused both. ' Maybe he was telling the truth, she had heard of the granolith being able to do such things'. She walked back into the living room "alright spill" she told him as she took a seat on the sofa.
"Ah can I get down first?" Michael cautiously asked, instantly he was back on his feet, this time a lot more gently thank goodness. "Could I get a drink?" he asked hoping not to push his luck, he may be tough but this girl could break him into a thousand pieces with a thought if she wanted.
"What" Xia looked at him incredulously, was he nuts.
"Come on you try travelling 4 years back in time, than getting attacked by an elite warrior and try not getting thirsty" Michael simply stated.
"Fine, in the kitchen" she replied pointing at the general direction, she watched him go never taking her eyes off of him just in case he tried something. He came back glass in hand and took the seat diagonal from hers.
"Alright talk," she once again demanded
"Ok where to start" he mulled
"How about why you're here," she suggested
"Yeah of course, ok " taking a deep breath he began "I come from four years in the future, I got here through the granolith. I'm here to ask for your help, you see in my time line things have gone to hell, the war is about to begin and we have no hope of winning, friends of ours have died and more are sure to die, and its all because of something that's happens in a few days time"
Xia was staring at Michael disbelief written al over her face "How could it all happen Michael? What could have screwed things up this bad?"
Michael ran a hand over face not enjoying the thought of reliving the last four years but knowing if it was to be stopped he'd have to. "It all starts a few days from now when a future version of Max comes and visits Liz Parker, Max's true love, he tells her that in that time line people die, I die, Isabel dies all because of there love and that she has to end it with the present Max, break it off completely to save the world."
Xia just looked stunned as Michael continued, " So Liz did what future Max asked and broke Max's heart. In the mean time Liz is left completely heart broken and constantly torn between the end of the world and her love for Max" Michael stops and takes a breath.
"Poor thing" Xia replies her heart going out Liz.
"Tell me about it, after that pandemonium ensues, our friend Alex dies, Max sleeps with Tess getting her pregnant, once again ripping liz's heart to shreds. Tess than turns out to have been the one to kill Alex mind warping him to death, she also mind warped Max during his most vulnerable state to get him to sleep with her. She almost gets him to take her back to Antar as well as us, where it turns out kivar would have been waiting to kill, Max, Isabel and Myself. Thank god Liz and my girlfriend Maria worked it out on time, but Max still let Tess go. Things just get worse from there, rite now my time line is on the brink of war and there's nothing we can do to stop it, or win it, Isabel is dead, Kyle's dead, my Maria is dieing as well as Liz, Max is in a permanent state of depression and Tess has gone power mad siding with Kivar and using her son to destroy us. You arrived about 5 months ago after trying to find the others."
"Don't tell me I never find them" Xia cuts in.
"Um well sort of, you see, boy this is tough, in my time line after this happens with future Max we learn of Zan's death" Michael cringes as he looks at Xia.
"What he's dead!" Xia yells a panicked expression coming over her face.
"No No not yet he isn't" Michael says trying to calm her down. To Michael's relief Xia began to calm down quickly her rational mind coming into play.
"Well when and how do I prevent it" Xia immediately asked Zan now at the forefront of her mind.
"In about two months after future Max appears don't worry you have time I know where they are, and I can tell you what I know from Ava, but first I need, we all need you to stop future Max"
'Oh my god he knows where Zan is' is all Xia could think but than she was brought back to reality by Michaels request "wait a minute if a future version of Max comes how am I supposed to stop it, do I jump up there and say hold on wait a minute I have the latest scoop of the future and mines worse than yours?" Xia asked not seeing how she could help the situation.
Michael couldn't help but smile at her take on the situation "No that's not necessary there's a major part of the story that I haven't told you yet" Michael explains.
"Well don't leave me hangin" Xia asked getting annoyed.
"There really is no future Max" Michael tells her.
