Chapter Six
Maria was pacing, and Michael had his face covered with his hands. "I can't believe this, I can't believe this." Maria wailed.
"Would you shut up? I'm trying to think!" Michael barked. Maria bit back a nasty remark. Michael rose, his hands through his hair. "Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe he won't remember."
"Won't remember? Michael, the guy just fainted. He didn't go through a mind warp." Michael winced at mind warped, but Maria continued. "What are you going to tell him? 'Oh, you just imagined it. It was in your mind.'" Michael swung towards her.
"What do you suggest?" Michael asked. Maria approached, and placed a hand on his arm, looking his straight in the eyes. They stared at each other, before Michael started backing away. "No, Maria, no. We are not bringing another person into this secret!" Maria crossed her arms.
"Then I guess you're going to have to kill him."
"For the last time, I'm sorry that I suggested that it would have been better if you were dead!" Michael yelled. Rick was starting to stir, and Maria started to move toward him. Michael held out his arm, but she maneuvered around it.
"Maybe he'll feel better about waking up to someone who didn't have a glass explode next to them." Maria pointed out. Rick groaned, and started to sit up. He was holding his head, and looked around confused.
"What, what happened?" He asked. He looked at Maria, his eyes wide. Maria rubbed his back in a comforting way.
"You fainted." Maria said. Rick turned bright pink, and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well, that's embarrassing." Rick said, sitting fully up. Michael walked closer, and Rick paled. He put his hands up in front of him. "Dude. Back away from me. Ok? I don't know what you did, but it was scary. Just stay away from me."
"Yeah, well that's not an option."
"What, you turned gay now too, on top of what ever the hell that was?"Rick asked. Michael threw his hands into the air.
"No, he means you're a part of this now."
"Of what?" Rick said, looking between the two of them. "Like some sick threesome thing?" Before Maria could express her discust, Michael replied.
"What the hell! No, I'm an alien."
"Sorry, what?" Rick said, sticking the tip of his finger in his ear, as though trying to clear gunk from it.
"You heard me."
"Well, you can't be an alien... wait, Roswell, right?"
"Yup."
"Then I was right!" Rick said, fist pumping the air. "I can't wait to tell everyone!" Michael was surprised that it was Maria who grabbed Rick's shoulders.
"No! Don't you get it? Michael will be killed. Dissected if you tell anyone." She said, her eyes full of worry. Rick's mouth was slightly open.
"You're serious. You're aliens?"
"I am, she's not. She's just someone else who found out." Michael said. Maria shrugged.
"Welcome to the club." She said, pulling Rick up by the hand. He looked dazed.
"I can't believe this. I gotta go." He said, picking up his coat, and leaving before they could grab him. They stared after him.
"Think he's gonna tell anyone?" Maria asked, from behind Michael's shoulder. He turned to look at her.
"He'd better not. I think we should wait to call Max until we're sure." Michael said. Maria was about to protest, but decided against it. There was no reason to alarm Max, at least until they got an understanding of Rick. She had almost turned them in, after she found out. But she had adjusted to the idea. She only hoped that Rick could too. "I can't believe I let my powers get out of hand!" Michael said, his hands clasped over his head. "I could be the end to all of us! Damn it!" He said, swinging his hands down.
A/N: My shortest Ch. I know. I'm hoping that Rick will become a new friend to Michael and Maria. Please tell me how you think this story is going. Thank you.
