Recap: Previously on Say What?'

Not now Liz. We've all had a long day. You and Tess are my least favorite people right now. Why would I stay overnight at a place where either one of you could be right now?' Max asked through their bond. He winced as he saw Liz's reaction. He didn't mean it to sound as harsh as it had been. He was tired. They all were.

Liz turned on her heel and stormed out of Michael's apartment now sorely regretting ever admitting to being an alien to Max, Isabel and Michael. She started running back to the Crash down as soon as she was outside of the apartment.

"Shit," Max muttered wanting to run after her but knowing she probably wouldn't hear his apologies right now anyway.

Meanwhile a dark unmarked SUV was parked a half mile away from Michael's apartment doing surveillance on the group of teenagers. One man in a suit looked at the other who happened to be holding a photograph of their intended targets.

"She's one of them," he said to his partner. "Let's get her," he ordered.

Liz who was normally intoned to her surroundings didn't feel in the least be suspicious of her surroundings due to her emotional state. She didn't even feel her impending abductors presence behind her. She screamed at the top of her lungs when she felt hands confine her shoulders, arms and legs. She met complete darkness when a cloth covered her nose and mouth.

Max stiffened up from his slouched standing position against Michael's living room wall. "Liz…"

Now on Say What?

Liz woke up on a steel table top. She was cold and draped with a hospital gown, as her only covering. She looked around to see herself in a bare white room. She gasped as she recognized the room immediately.

She had visions of it for several years but her visions didn't include her as its captive. Max had always been the captive. Liz normally didn't panic when situations like this occurred but she knew who would be walking through a door that appears to be nonexistent on the wall.

Tess had killed the first head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's top secret Special Unit. The Unit had been searching for their existence long before that event occurred but the event fueled their efforts more. The new Unit head seemed more determined then ever to capture them all. The Unit was made up of FBI Agents, Central Intelligence Agents (CIA), Secret Service Agents, Navy Sea Air Land (SEAL) Officers, Green Berets, scientists, and any other super secret operative one could imagine. All sounded scary and Liz has thwarted many over the years.

Liz started silently counted down from five to one with her right hand's fingers. As soon as her fingers hit one, the wall opened up and in came the one person she knew she should fear more then Khivar. At least with Khivar she knew he still harbored an obsession for his former queen. He would be a threat but would eventually cease his actions on her. The person walking through the door wouldn't show any restraint towards her. He would torture her until she relented

"Well, it's about time you woke up." The brunette haired man in the ridiculously cheat dark business suit said to Liz.

Liz attempted to struggle with the restraints binding her to the steel table. She glared at the man she knew without meeting. This was Special Unit Agent Pierce, the most ruthless Government Man you'll ever meet.

"It's no use. You won't be able to get out of them unless you want to expose yourself for what you truly are." He smirked at her.

"What do you suppose I am?" She defied.

"I know for a fact that you are not human, although it's a good disguise."

Liz smirked right back at the G-Man. "I believe you have the wrong person Mr…."

"Pierce. Agent Pierce to you."

Liz then put on her best seductive smile. "Well, Mr. Pierce as I was saying you must have the wrong person. I was born here. I am perfectly human."

Pierce laughed at his captive. "Believe me Ms. Parker. I know all about your kind. Sweet talking me isn't about to sway my determination. I've checked all your records. You've never been sick a day in your life. Humans get sick every few months or so."

Liz shrugged against her restraints. "I have a very healthy immune system."

"Funny, that, we have no DNA samples tested or recorded on you ever either," Pierce stated with a triumphant smile.

Max get here soon, Liz tried to communicate with Max through their subconscious bond.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Max glowered. Max get here soon, he heard Liz's plea flooding his mind. Only problem was he had no idea where here was.

He looked up at Michael worry in his eyes. She's gone. They have her. "They've got Liz," he said as if he were in a trance.

Michael, not one for being worried, felt panic well up inside him. He had just found out that he had family besides Max and Isabel, he wasn't about to lose a family member. "Who Max? Who has Liz? Khivar?"

Max shook his head, "The Special Unit."

Meanwhile Jeff and Nancy Parker were training their concentration on all their charges. Anger fueled them when they felt their daughter's distress but knew that the overall safety of the royal hybrids was their top priority. If they went after their daughter without thinking, they would jeopardize not only themselves but the teens as well. The humans weren't the teens' only predators, they also had other intergalactic beings after them not just Khivar, their only hope lay in the hands of four other teen age aliens.

"You're resistance is futile alien," Pierce grumbled at Liz's stubbornness. He then motioned for someone or something to enter the room. "I'm sure you've seen the t.v. show the X-Files, if you say you been on this planet your entire life, can you imagine the torture they would unleash on their subjects? Well, if not, you're going to find out right now." He smirked.

Liz panicked. She couldn't use her powers now or she would expose herself as an alien and she wasn't certain if Max had heard her plea. She could be thirty states away from her friends and family for all she knew. Her visions never gave her the White Room's location for all she knew she could highly probably be in Area 51 just forty miles away from the crash site.

Tess sighed. "I suppose this is somehow going to get blamed on me right," she said with a roll of her eyes.

Isabel glared at Tess' rudeness. "A lot of events can be blamed on you Tess. This could be one of them. I have a quick question for you. How could Khivar be on Antar when he was down here the whole time causing trouble for us? How could he have been up there when he was down here trying to kill Liz because she wouldn't submit to him?"

Tess' eyes widened. She didn't count on Khivar being down on Earth continuing to carryout his plan to bring down the Crown of Antar. She had been toiling with other plans on Antar. When tests proved negative alien powers for the baby, she knew it was over to begin with, the baby was human. She was positively angry that the odds stacked in favor of their human DNA. The current King laughed in her face for even thinking about the possibility of passing off a human baby as the heir to the thrown.

"Liz was right about you the whole time and we just shrugged it off as her being jealous of you. When in fact it was all about you being jealous of what she and Max had," Isabel continued. "Tell us Tess what really happened on Antar to make you want to return to a planet you deemed far less superior than an ancient intergalactic civilization?"

Tess just glared back at Isabel. She wasn't about to reveal herself as a liar. She did come to right her wrongs and hopefully redeem herself enough to convince Max to give their relationship another try. She was sorry for mind warping Alex to the point his body and brain couldn't handle it anymore. She was sorry that she killed countless people just to preserve her and her father's plans of revenge against the Royal Antarian Family. "I don't have to explain anything to you."

It was Michael's turn to disclose his opinion of Tess. "I never liked you Tess. I never trusted you either. I knew there was something off about you but you were my ticket home, so I pretended to tolerate you. Now I find out the reason why I wanted to go to Antar has been here on Earth the entire time right under my nose. Now a member of my family has gone missing. We have no clue as to where she is and you're worried about yourself. You aren't the only non-human in this room."

"I think I know where she is," Tess answered quietly.

The other three teenagers looked at her with disbelief. "Well…."
