Chapter 13

Liz walked around the van and headed straight for the closest motorcyclist. When she was just a couple feet away he stirred but it didn't stop her from doing what she needed to do.

Other than blowing Tess that one day when they were first being developed she didn't really use her powers on other people, except for the occasional vision, but her patience had been pushed long enough, and it was time to do something about it.

"You can do what you want to me, but they will always find you. You will never be able to run." The nearest motorcyclist said getting up from the ground. He threw his helmet off, and held his arm.

"Then you don't give us enough credit." She said starting to raise her arm towards the special unit agent.

She was really weak, and she knew she didn't have the energy to be wasting, but she also felt all the anger in her, and was hoping that would be enough to off set it.

She was about to blow him into oblivion when she saw his eyes dart to the side. She turned her head in just enough time to see the other agent running straight towards her with a knife in his hand.

She quickly raised her arm, and sent him flying about 100 feet. She turned to the other one, but he had taken off running the opposite direction. "Max! He's getting away." She yelled out, but didn't need to. They were already on their way after him.

"Liz, are you ok?" Maria asked running out to her carrying a sleeping Sawyer. Liz nodded her head and took him from her. "Are you sure? You look a little pale. I mean paler than normal." Maria looked concerned.

"Maria, I'm fine. Really, I will admit that little power flare did take more out of me than I thought it would, but I will be fine. I have to be fine." She answered as she started to walk towards the others. They had him cornered by a boulder, and it didn't look like they were going to show him any mercy. "Where's Jesse?" she asked realizing he was no where to be seen.

"He said he was going to grab some stuff out of the van." Maria said looking back, and smiled as he walked towards them carrying a backpack. He walked up to them and smiled.

"Just grabbed some food." He said looking out towards where the rest of them were. "Come on, we should go meet them." He started walking out there. Liz and Maria exchanged glances, and started to follow him.

When Liz walked past the helmet of the agent she kicked it as hard as she could, but almost as soon as she touched it she got a vision. It was real short, but it was all she needed. It was of the special agent running towards motorcycles, and of them making plans. They were coming, in large groups.

Maria looked back when she realized that Liz wasn't up with her. When she saw her standing there in a daze she called out to Max, and ran back to her. She didn't want her to take the risk of fainting and dropping baby Sawyer.

Max heard Maria call out to him, and when he turned around to see her he left the scared to death agent, and ran to Liz. By the time he got there though she was back to normal, and looked very anxious. "Liz, what is it?" He grabbed her by the shoulders, and made her look him in the eyes.

"They're coming, all of them. We have to go now Max." Max stared into her eyes, and saw the worry, and that was all he needed. He called to the rest of them, and took Sawyer from Liz, she was tired, and needed a break. Once he explained everything they took off down the dusty dirty road. Back to where it all began, and back to where it would all end, one way or another.

It had been about half an hour, and they were still pretty far away. Michael had covered a lot of ground when they were running from the agents, but a 20 minutes drive going 70 was going to take a lot longer walking, and with a newborn.

"If I would have known we were going to be walking I would have worn my sneakers." Maria said stopping to pull off her boots. Liz turned around to smile at her. She was in her jeans and tennis shoes, and she was quite comfortable. Actually, that was a lie, she was a little sore, her stomach hurt, and she felt very, very, very tired.

"You know if you went for practical over fashion you might not bitch all the time." Michael said in an irritated voice. Maria looked up at him, and glared.

"Look, we are on the run from the FBI, and I have already had to change a lot of things." She held up a lock of her auburn hair, to prove her point. "I am not going to let you take away my fashion too." She stood up and walked in a determined manner right past Michael without even looking at him.

"You know you two really shouldn't fight all the time. Buddha says." Kyle started, but once again didn't get a chance to finish.

"Shut-up Kyle!" Maria and Michael both yelled at him. Kyle held up both hands, and grunted.

"Gee-wiz, you try and help them out, and this is the gratitude you get." He looked at Isabel, and she was trying to hold in a laugh. He hadn't seen her this happy in a long time. Even though they were running again, she seemed happy.

The group walked for some time more, before they reached the sign that read welcome to Roswell. They stopped and stood looking out over the city. They had no idea what was about to happen, what a huge difference today was going to make, but they knew they had each other, and that was all they needed.

Kyle was the first to take off down the path with Jesse and Isabel closely following, Michael and Maria weren't far behind, and Max started quickly after them. Liz was the only one left. She was holding a then again sleeping Sawyer, and she felt torn. She had insisted they come, but now she couldn't make herself finish.

Max turned around realizing that Liz was not by his side. He saw her standing looking out over Roswell. She held on to the baby with all of her might. Max walked back up to her, and put his arm around her. "Liz, I will understand if you want to stay."

Liz looked up at her husband, and saw all the love and concern in his eyes. After that she suddenly knew that she could do it. "No, I can do this. We can do this." Max smiled at her, and leaned down to give her a tender kiss, before taking her hand, and leading her down the hill.

Maria clung on to Michael's hand for dear life, not because she was afraid of the special unit, but because she was afraid this might be the last time that she would get to hold his hand.

After about another half an hour the group walked into the streets of their home town. The streets were fairly busy, but nobody really seemed to notice them walking down the street. At least they thought nobody did, until they heard someone yell from down the street. "Valenti is that you?"

Kyle turned around at the sound of his name. He didn't recognize the voice, but then again it had been so long, he didn't even know if he would recognize his dads'. He saw one of his old teammates jogging down the street to meet them. It caused some attention, and the more and more people started to recognize them, and surrounded them.

Max took Sawyer from Liz. He knew she would never let anything happen to him, but he felt he was more able to protect him, and especially with all these people coming. Then he heard a voice through the crowd, a voice that he would have recognized from anywhere.
