It was the moment of truth for max. Before him stood his son and he was
asking the hardest question to answer. So max decided that a variation of
the truth was the only way. Xan was human, so he couldn't know about the
dangerous origins of his parents. "We did want you," max began," but it
wasn't safe to keep you. We were 18 years old and we were, and still are,
in danger." "What danger?" xan asked. "We are sort of on the run from the
government because we found out about some things and they want us dead."
Liz hated lying, but she knew that they had to. "So know we're on the run,
living out of a
van, and moving from place to place. Have you heard the stories about
people being helped by the mysterious 6 people?" Liz asked. Xan nodded,
"it's you isn't it??" this time it was liz's turn to nod. "So you couldn't
keep me because you are in danger. Guess that answers my questions, but
what now? I mean you are the people that I have wanted to meet all my life
and now here you are." Finally maria spoke up, " xan, we are you family,
and we want to be a part of your lives. So we'll try, but max, the unit
cannot find out that we have a connection to him." "we can visit you, we'll
work it out xan, we promise," Isabel told him, and you could see it in her
eyes that she was serious. Xan was the connection to the way their lives
used to be, and they all recognized it.
Xan stood there looking at these 6 people. They were his family. They were the people that he wanted to meet since as far back as he could remember, and they answered his questions. But he had the sneaking suspicion that they weren't telling him something, something important. "What aren't you telling me?" they all exchanged a look. "Maxwell, we have to tell him." Michael said. With a nod of consent from them all, Michael was voted the one to tell everything, since this was Michael, the guy who had the ability to say anything in a nutshell. "basically, the six of us are aliens, me max and Isabel are hybrids, half human, half alien. 14 years ago we weren't friends with kyle or liz or maria or alex, ur namesake, and then liz was shot in a diner and max healed her. She told maria and alex and we all became friends, more than that. Then kyle was shot later that year and max healed him. A year later alex died. 2 years later, the government found out about us and came after us, and tried to kill us at our high school graduation. But we found out about it because of liz. When max healed her he changed her and she gained powers, she had a vision of it and we left, ran away in our van and never came back. A few months later, kyle started to develop powers as well, and then maria was shot in a convenience store when she got caught in a shoot out in harlem, max healed her so she has powers too. Liz and max are married and maria and I got married 3 years ago. Isabel was married to a man named jesse but he was human so she had to leave him behind. That's basically it." They looked at xan to see his reaction.
