Chapter 3:
"NO he is not her father, that's kind of impossible, see I only met Max today", said Serena looking down.
"There is something that you are not telling us", said Isabel.
"Umm, yeah kind of, this is kind of hard", said Serena.
"Just tell us", said Liz looking at the woman in front of them.
"Okay, I got pregnant when I was 16, umm, I was kind of freaked out you know. I didn't know what I was going to do. Anyway, I went to this coffee shop outside of Roswell, New Mexico", said Serena.
"What were you doing in Roswell?" asked Michael.
"I was trying to find the people that killed my daughter's father", said Serena.
Everyone looked at her and everything clicked.
"Zan, Zan's the father", said Maria.
Serena nodded her head.
"Yeah he didn't know though, I found out he was killed, I was in a fit of rage, I guess", said Serena taking a sip of her soda.
"Okay umm, I got captured, I'm not going to beat around the bush, you know", said Serena.
Tears came to her eyes. Max looked pale.
"Did they?" asked Max.
"Yes, everything they did to you they did to me, with the exception of one thing", said Serena.
"Max I know you don't want to know this but you have to know, Max they were using your umm your", said Serena trying to look away from the prying eyes.
"His what?" asked Kyle sitting up.
"His sperm", answered Michael looking disgusted.
Liz looked sick at that and ran out of the room. Max just looked down trembling. Ava looked on in shock. Chris couldn't even say anything. Michael looked ready to smash things. Maria got up and went to find Liz.
"They didn't know I was already pregnant, they were trying to in pregnant a human", said Serena looking down.
She closed her eyes trying to get rid of the memories of how they treated her in there. How they exactly try to get her pregnant. She was never that scared as she was that night. Max got up when he heard Liz throwing up in the bathroom. He was trembling walking down the hallway. Maria saw him and got up from rubbing Liz's back. Maria looked at him and hugged him close to her.
"We are here for you", whispered Maria before walking out of the room.
Liz was crying out loudly.
"It's my fault, if you didn't save me, god", whispered Liz.
Max bent down wiped her face and kissed her forehead.
"We had this conversation before Liz, the day I saved you was the day my life began", said Max.
He hugged her tightly trying to keep the trembles from his body. He tried to keep inside but when he looked at Liz the damp broke. He sobbed in her arms as she rocked him back and forth. He clutched her shirt trying to keep her with him. He looked scared.
"Max show me", whispered Liz.
Max shook his head.
"NO, no one can see that", said Max.
"Please, I need to share your pain", said Liz.
Max tears fell from his face as he held her head looking deeply into her eyes.
Flashes…………….
"Max, Max get up", said Agent Pierce looking at the semi-conscious boy strapped to the table.
"Now on to the next phase, let's see if your swimmers are human", said Agent Pierce smirking.
Max struggled, pulling the robes the bound his hands and feet.
"NO", whispered Max because he didn't even have the strength to move let alone speak.
He felt his scrubs being removed. He shivered from the cold. He was scared. God they weren't going to do this to him. Liz, please Liz, need Liz whispered Max in his head.
"Get him aroused", whispered Pierce to the mask man next to him.
Max's eyes were glazed. He tried to move when he felt a big cold hand clamp down on his penis. He shuddered again. He had tears in his eyes.
"Please don't do this, don't do this", whispered Max trying to keep his tears at bay.
"It's not working sir", whispered the masked man next to him.
There seemed to be more people in the room. They were swirling around him. He needed out. God he needed to get out of here. Liz, need Liz.
"Umm maybe a visual will help", whispered Pierce.
He took out his VR game and placed it on Max's head. Max didn't even struggle. He knew it was futile.
"Well, Max you don't seem to be getting aroused, seems to me you need a little motivation", whispered Pierce into his ears.
Max shook form fear again. He tried to close his eyes but Pierce smacked him.
"Keep them open", whispered Pierce.
"Well since you are teen boy, let's see if this would help", said Pierce showing him various pictures of nude models.
He noticed nothing happen.
"Not your cup of tea, what about this", said Pierce showing him a picture of Liz smiling.
"Ah Liz is what gets you off", whispered Pierce looking at a now semi-erect Max.
Tears spilled down Max's face, down his cheeks, down his chin, each drop hit his scrubs.
"Sorry, so sorry", whispered Max looking at Liz.
He couldn't help it he was always aroused around her.
"What about this, this is my creation", whispered Pierce.
Max saw Liz in a bathing suit. Max couldn't help himself and he became painfully aroused.
"No", whispered Max, tears choked him when he felt the cold, latex hand clamp down on his erection pumping hard and fast.
He felt sick. He threw up on the floor next him. He continued to dry heave until his body shook with sobs.
"Ahh, clean up this mess", said Pierce looking disgusted at Max.
Pierce pulled off the VR game and Max looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"Why?" was the only thing he could ask.
"Because I can", whispered Pierce smirking. Max closed his eyes.
End Flash…………………
"Did the samples work?" asked Michael looking at Serena.
"No, none of the women before me worked, they thought it worked with me because they took a pregnancy test. They didn't know that that baby wasn't Max. They did an amino for me and since Zan and Max are identical they thought it was his. I never refuted it. I just didn't want them using any more of Max's stuff I guess", said Serena.
She shook from the memory. Those cold hands and that smirk on Agent Burns face. She trembled with anger.
"You don't have to worry about Max's samples though", said Chris.
"Why?" asked Kyle.
He was still trying to process everything that Serena said.
"Blew up the base", said Serena.
"They didn't know that I had powers, they didn't drug me, and I waited awhile. They had decided to rip my child from me, I knew I couldn't stay. I went ballistic when they told me that they wanted to kill my child. I don't remember everything that happened but I do remember the base going up in a large blast and Chris standing next to me", said Serena trying to shake the memories from her mind.
Serena got up suddenly walking out of the room. They all stared after her.
"She needs time", whispered Chris.
His sister was in pain all the time. She may act like she has not remorse for killing people but she did. It ate her up inside but she had no choice. Serena walked up to her daughter's room peaking inside, both the kids were sleeping. She quietly shut the door before walking into her room and closing the door. She looked around and sat down on the edge of her bed. She shivered again. Her room was warm but she felt chill. She rubbed her arms up and down trying to stop the shivers. She trembled all over. She didn't even realize that she was sobbing until she felt herself getting a headache. She sat on the ground rocking back and forth trying desperately to stop the pain that consumed her. This wasn't an unusual occurrence, but tonight she cried harder then she ever did. She cried for her soul. She knew that she couldn't save it. She knew she needed saving. Her soul needed it badly. She killed so many people. She cried for them. She cried for Max, for Liz, and for the father that never met his daughter.
"Zan", whispered Serena rubbing her arms up and down trying to soothe her pain.
It was overwhelming and consuming. She couldn't breath. She felt like she was dying. She heard the door open but she couldn't stop. Her brother sat next to her not saying a word he pulled her into his arms. He laid his chin on her head and held her body that racked with sobs. He felt the pain as if it were his own. He said nothing. He knew that she didn't want to hear anything, all she needed was to be held.
"Zan", whispered Serena crying over and over again.
"Zan", said Serena.
Chris tried to keep his tears at bay. She started yelled over and over his name. Max and Liz stood outside of Serena's door and sighed. Max ran his fingers through Liz's hair. She had tears running down her face.
"Oh Max", whispered Liz with tears spilling form the corners of her wide eyes.
Max hugged her closely. By that time everyone was standing in the hallway. Ava looked at them and heard Serena yelling out Zan's name. It broke her heart. She had to admit she was jealous of Serena. Zan loved her. She knew, she wasn't that naïve. But she couldn't hate Serena, she had become her strength and Chris had become what Zan couldn't be, her friend, her lover, and her soulmate. Ava walked past Max opening the door and walking in and closing behind her. What she saw broke her heart. Chris held a wailing Serena in her arms. She kept repeating Zan's name over and over again. Ava felt the tears spill down her cheeks. After all this time she still missed him too. The pain of losing him still ripped through her heart. She walked over and sat next to them. She cried with them.
"Zan", yelled Serena.
She looked into Chris's eyes.
"Please Zan", yelled Serena shaking with grief. His face flashed continuously in front of her. Maria hugged Michael while tears spilled from her own eyes. They never heard such sounds of pain before. Isabel held onto Kyle trying to keep her own tears at bay. The door opened and both kids walked out. Zan walked up to Liz.
"Mommy, wat de matta?", asked Zan looking at Liz.
Liz picked him up and held him close to her body. The little girl looked at the group standing outside of her mother's door. She walked towards her mother's room hearing her mother crying out. She opened the door slowly. Chris looked up to see his niece standing there. Serena had calm down a bit but she was still trembling.
"Sammie", whispered Chris.
Sammie walked towards her uncle and mother. She reached and touched her mother's tear stained face.
"Mommy, don't cry", whispered Sammie.
Serena pulled Sammie into her arms holding her tightly, tears escaped her eyes, while she whispered once more, "Zan".
A man shot up in bed. "Ahhhh", yelled the man.
The woman sleeping next to him shifted.
"What's wrong honey", whispered the blond haired woman.
"Nothing baby, nothing is wrong Tess", said the man .
"Okay, go back to sleep Zan", whispered Tess kissing him gently before closing her eyes.
Zan lay awake trying to understand what his dream meant. Who was the beautiful red haired girl and who was the little girl standing next to her? Zan sighed before he closed his eyes joining his girlfriend in sleep.
