A/N: Sorry I didn't make it very clear that some of these chapters were flashbacks but you guys get the drift. Hope you like the new chapter!

Eulogy To Lenny Bruce

Max stood looking uncomfortable a great sadness shadowing his face.

"He's okay isn't he?" Maria questioned, she suddenly noticed Liz.

She was bloodied from battle like the rest of them but she looked completely beaten and there were tears staining her cheeks, and then she caught a glimpse of Liz's hands covered with blood, not from her wounds.

"No, no, no, no..." she chanted quietly at first until she was screaming it. Isabel looked at Maria and then back to Max, eyes wide with terror.

"Where is he!" her voice sounded desperate, almost as if she was trying to sound strong or demanding but the look on her face as she shifted her gaze to the floor gave her away.

"He's gone Isabel, I'm sorry..." he tried to sound calm but the pain in his voice kept leaking through.

Isabel just fell to the floor silently, kneeling on the ground as if she were praying. Michael tried to keep his eyes on the wall behind Max not able to look at his face but he instead found a broken Liz slumping from the great weight of sadness.

"But you can heal him Maxwell you have to be able to."

"It was too late" Max's words sounded like a plea more then an answer.

"What does that mean?" Maria's anger taking over her

"He... he ..." Unable to come up with the words Liz took over.

"He never even got inside; he was dead long before we found him." Her features stoic, she looked like a statue of some tortured Saint in a church.

"What?! Why wasn't someone with him? What happened to the freaking Buddy System!? That wasn't simple enough for you Max?!" Maria now completely consumed by her anger rising faster then ever.

"Maria stop." Michael said softly trying to reassure her.

"I don't think playing the blame game now is going to help anyone, anyways we didn't do it," Kyle cut in

"What do you mean?" Max looked up at Kyle.

"I mean no one got the disk"

"Why... what happened?" Tess' voice small.

"They knew we were coming they were ready for us Maxwell, you know that,"

"Yeah but I thought... I mean I thought we had it under control." Max's confusion rising.

"We barely got out of there with our lives." Michael cringing at his choice of words.

"Some of us didn't" Liz's voice barely a whisper, and although they heard it they ignored her quiet whimper.

"Then we have to..." Max started before Isabel cut him off her voice ragged.

"We are not going back in there Max, we can't not after everything!"

"And if they keep that disk then you better be ready to leave Roswell," Max challenged, "And not just Michael, Isabel, and me. All of us."

"This is my home it has been forever, I can't just leave." Kyle's voice sounded distant

"I won't leave either Max." Isabel said standing up from her position on the floor.

"Then you know what we have to do. All of us... together." Max's authoritative voice regaining its composure.

Everyone nodded in agreement. And as they left, many of them expecting to never come back, they walked as a complete group each as important as the next. Alien or human no longer came into the equation, they were together and together they would be strong. They should have been strong.
