"Okay if nothing else can be done tonight and Anne can't or won't tell us anything else. We need to get everything ready for the night shift, my Dad's busy so we have to take care of everything and work our shifts," Liz said with only a little audible edge in here voice. Inside she was torn apart, she believed her cousin but didn't want to.
Everyone else sat chatting remember their childhood while Liz, Maria, and Michael started working, although Maria and Michael didn't stay completely out of it Liz did because she was deep in thought. She had a feeling her life was going to turn even more upside down and that was something she didn't want right now. She could see herself accepting it in the end but she felt like fighting it. Could she fight destiny? Everything that from the past two years ran through her head and she wondered how much could be called destiny. Max saving her life, Maria, Alex, Kyle, and Sheriff Valenti being pulled into the conspiracy too. Was her falling in love with Max, protecting him all those times and helping him find the truth about himself all destiny? What about everything that happened with Tess? No that was a conspiracy, tricks and murder. Alex wasn't destined to die, he was a tragic side effect of choices Liz had made. She had caused things to happen by changing them from the way they were supposed to be. Now, though, should she sit back and let destiny control this new development?
Liz got a clue. When she was in the kitchen and all of a sudden she had a flash. She saw the group, including Anne, slightly older and in battle. Everyone is using powers and it is obvious that they are fighting aliens. They win the battle and there is a finality to it like they won the war. Liz takes a look around and gets the feeling like she isn't on earth. She knows that the whole group is close but can't tell specific relationships, such as is her and Max are together or if he is with Anne or neither.
Before she had any chance to even worry about that she flashed to something else. This time they were in battle again, this time definitely on earth. Anne wasn't there though and it seemed like they were younger. They were all using powers again but didn't seem to have the skill that they did in the first flash. Liz suddenly jumped to a seen of Anne fighting the aliens too but by herself far from everyone else. In the end both Anne on her own and the pod squad group lost and lay dying.
Liz snapped out of it and wondered what it was she saw. Had Anne done it, a mind-warp? She looked out to the dining room and saw Anne chatting away and laughing. She knew from the experience with Tess that Anne would have needed way more concentration than that to perform an illusion such as that. Plus this felt all too real like the flashes she would get from Max yet the pictures came from her from the future. She was seeing possible outcomes of the future, the second was if Anne wasn't part of the group. Liz knew that could only happen if she interfered with what had already started and pushed Anne away, like part of her was telling her to do. Should she tell the others of her vision. Maybe this was part of her powers. She had always had strong intuition which had helped in several of their crisis's already, but actually telling the future. It seemed like she had to sit back and let things take their course, for now. She could always change things later.
