I'm sorry, I am trying to post, but with my final project (which is finally handed in), and exams coming up, I just haven't had much time on the computer. Very sorry, I am trying my best, but I just don't always have time
Like Isabelle, I don't mind skipping some of the rescue, although in the same way who comes along I think still needs to be decided... I actually have a few words from Liz in mind... if I ever get time to post...
Anyway, revision is calling, I just popped on while copying some old exam papers onto my computer and that's done. I'll try and post as soon as possible, sorry for the delay.

But for your other question I don't mind skipping part of the rescue, but not yet. -- We don't even know who's going to be part of the rescue yet -- and I was really hoping for some response to Max's flash about Zan. What do Zaira and Tess think of that?
I agree with Isabelle. I don't mind seeing Max's flash about Zan.
OOC: I wasn't referring to skipping ahead at this point in time I just meant when we do get settled about the Rescue for future reference. I should have stated that, sorry. I will post later today but I have another off topic question. Are you guys getting your notices when someone posts in this game bc I'm not and thats one of the reasons I am getting behind in this game
“They’re hurting him again. They’re hurting him right now!” my father said out of breath. What is he saying? Is he some how connected to my unknown brother that I never met? I look at my father closely and I see pain in his eyes. They are hurting him. I know it. Hell my father feels it.
I want to do something, anything…I just can’t bare to stand here watching my father in pain. It makes me sad to see him that way; it makes me sad to know my unknown brother is in pain. How did our lives get so screw up over night?
I walk to my father and kneel in front of him, “Dad…I know I still a child to you and everyone here, but I want to help…please let me help. I don’t want to stand here doing nothing. I’m going to go crazy. Please dad....let me help” I plead him.
My father is very stubborn man and very protective to the ones he loves. But I am not just his daughter but more to that. I am a friend, a sister, a student, and a employee. I can help I know I can.
“They’re hurting him again. They’re hurting him right now!” Max says and I turn my eyes away from my Mother (who at the moment I was giving the best death glare I could) and turn back to look at Max. Zan is connected to him? Like the connection I share with Zan who is currently cutting off our connection. Why would Zan reach out to Max and not me? Maybe he doesn’t realize he’s doing it. I know it takes a conscious effort to block our connection but otherwise it comes naturally. So while Zan is hurting he’s also using his energy to block me out, that’s just like Zan, to put others before himself, especially if he still thinks I am hurt.
I don’t like not being able to ‘feel’ him. I feel so empty inside, like I’m missing my other half. Well that makes since Zan is my other half. We usually can feel each others emotions, feelings, and stray thoughts. One time Zan broke his arm in training and I was miles away in the city shopping with Mother when I cried out and I swear it felt like someone broken my arm. If Zan is in pain then he would block me out to save me.
The girl who is appartently Max’s oldest daughter (well not technically but lets deal with one life alternating crisis at a time) comes back in with the boy she left with earlier. Oh what was her name...Lilly? I can’t remember. She wants to help but I think she’d be more of a hindrance. I don’t have all the combat training my brothers have but I was the only girl and was taught to protect myself. Plus the fact that Zan also showed me things he learned and we would practice a lot.
“If you know where this place is we should get our resources together and see what we can come up with. What are our strengths? I know what we can do but what kindof powers do you all have?” I say
“If this is a military base the best tactic would be to spilt up into groups and have one group create a diversion while the others go in and look for Zan.” Dreakus adds and I can tell his training is already starting to kick in. And I give him a small smile. Dreakus would have made a great General. He was always good at strategy.
OOC -- I'm okay with Alexis and Liz being part of the rescue, but Max will need more convincing.
*Max*
I've caught my breath and I'm feeling almost sorry as I lose the connection to Zan. Not that I like experiencing that place, but I hate to think of him all alone there. I wish I could make a real connection with him, to let him know what we're planning. Isabel might be able to do it, but so far she hasn't had any response to my repeated requests that she dreamwalk Zan and tell him that we're coming for him. Of course, right now, she might have trouble. I know she said she couldn't always get through to me when I was in pain...
"Oh Alexis, thank you," I tell her, reaching up to smooth her hair with my hand. It's wonderful that she wants to help, that she's willing to take the risk for someone she doesn't even know -- but she doesn't really know what she's going to be up against and I don't ever want to lose her... "Maybe you and Dylan should stay here and look after your mother," I suggest.
*Are you feeling better now?* I ask Liz, silently.
Truthfully, Dylan's power would be VERY helpful in trying to break in, but he's just a child. And Alexis ... she's very capable, but I hate to think that she'd get caught, too. Liz should be just about completely recovered by now and there's no reason to think that the FBI would be coming after her, just the same, I'd like her and the children together. The kids would rather think that they were looking after her than the other way around.
But then, she's really not that much younger than we all were the first time Isabel, Michael and the others broke into Eagle Rock to get me out ...
“If you know where this place is we should get our resources together and see what we can come up with. What are our strengths? I know what we can do but what kindof powers do you all have?” Zaira says and I feel proud of her for the leadership she's showing. I know she has to be scared, but she's not letting that stop her.
“If this is a military base the best tactic would be to spilt up into groups and have one group create a diversion while the others go in and look for Zan.” Dreakus adds.
I'd like to know more about what she and Dreakus can do, but I'll start with answering her question. As Sheriff Valenti once told me, the best way to gain trust is to give it. A diversion could be good, but whoever was doing that would be in danger.
"Isabel and Alexis are dreamwalkers. Michael and Liz are the strongest at the percussion blasts." As I say that, it occurs to me that Tess left before we knew about Liz's powers. I wonder if she knew, or what she's thinking now if she didn't know... Right now, I would give a lot for one of her pre-cognitive flashes but those never seem to happen when we WANT one.
"...Dylan can possess other bodies, but his own is vulnerable when he does that. I'm a healer, as you've seen, and I have a teleknetic sheild. We can all do the basic pyroknesis, teleknesis and molecular manipulation," I add. "What can you and Dreakus do -- besides the memory sharing?"
OOC: sorry for the awful delay in this, I know I've been missing for ages, but I'm finally done with the exams, and trying to get caught up. Hope this works
Sorry to see you're leaving this Corina.
~Liz~
As Max announces that he knows where Zan is being held, I feel a cold shiver run down my spine and for an instant I'm back at the fair after Max was taken. That, and the day which followed, were without a doubt two of the worst days of my entire life. And I wasn't there as Max was... I know he has to be thinking of everything that he's been through, and to this day, some of the experiences he went through he refuses to share.
How I hate seeing him like this...
I bite down on my lip, struggling to keep calm although the baby does help in that respect. Without being pregnant, I would be far from calm, but this isn't just about me, and I can't risk something happening...
Dylan echoes my sentiments about getting Zan back, and I look down at my son, in that proud manner of a mother. I'm not too sure that I like his use of 'we', because I don't want him anywhere near all this, but I'm still proud of him... Lexi too - she's growing into a wonderful young woman, despite the craziness that is her life at times, and I nod as I hear her say that she's going to check on Ashton.
As Max now speaks of 'waking' Tess, I feel that cold sensation, my gaze resting on her unconcious figure as I think about everything we've been through, and how much of it was because of her... Destiny, Alex, all the struggles that Max and I had because of her... How things were so nearly destroyed, and in some ways were... There's a part of me thinking that I should feel for her, having lost her child like this, but then her actions don't speak of loving Zan or Zaira, or Dreakus for that matter - the image of loving mother just doesn't seem to fit...
As she wakes up, I find myself unintentionally tightening my arms around Dylan slightly, looking over to Lexi to reassure myself she's fine as I hear Tess talking. She starts off scornful and sneering, but as she continues I think I see a spark of humanity in her as an edge of desperation enters her tone and her attitude changes. She might not show 'love' very well from what I've seen, but she is worried about Zan...
That doesn't take away from the fact that she's belittling what she did to Alex though, and I feel hate balling up inside me again. She killed him, and she thinks nothing of it - we're inferior beings in her mind... I wonder what she'd think if she knew what this 'inferior being' is capable of...
Max responds angrily to her comments, and I don't blame him. It doesn't stop him from promising to get Zan out though, which hardly surprises me and as he returns to the recliner, reaching for my hand, I squeeze it gently, threading my fingers through his and nodding silently. I know he has to do this...
Although I hadn't noticed, I realise that Lexi must have returned to the room just in time to hear the last as she tells Max to be careful. She's accepting it's going to happen, but I can't help being relieved that she's not including herself it seems... I don't want her in danger, Dylan either - whatever might happen to us, I need to know that they're safe...
Michael says that he's going with, which comes as a big relief to me, although I can't say I didn't expect it. He's got his back, after all these years... Despite everything, for a moment the edge of my lips turns up in the slightest hint of a smile as I think about how lucky we are to have this group of friends and family... Max said it best himself all those years ago - everyone here (that was there at the time, which doesn't include Tess of course) he trusted with his life...
In an instant though, that moment of reflection is gone as the connection which I share with Max fills with intense pain. I watch in horror as his face contorts, hating that it seems that there's nothing I can do, and unable to keep from fearing the worst. *Max, what is it, what's wro-* I begin to ask but before I get chance to finish, he answers for me anyway as he opens his eyes. "They're hurting him again. They're hurting him right now!"
I feel my chest tighten as I see him like this, shaking, breathless, scared and in pain. This is his worst nightmare and mine, but this time it's real... His son is there, and we have to get him back...
The episode hasn't just effected the two of us either, as soon becomes clear when Lexi walks over, kneeling down and literally begging to help.
I'm torn about the possibility - I don't want her hurt, or in harms way, and yet I recognise that she wants to help. What to say...?
"Oh Alexis, thank you..." Max responds now, smoothing her hair with his hand. "Maybe you and Dylan should stay here to look after your mother..."
He follows up his suggestion with a silent question as to whether I'm feeling better, and I nod slightly. *Yes, I'm feeling better, but you don't honestly think you're going to leave me here while you go off and risk your life do you?* I ask him, the realisation of his intentions settling badly on my stomach.
Zaira doesn't seem impressed by Alexis' offer of help, but maybe I'm being unfair - this is her twin we're talking about, who's being held in that place, maybe this is just her way of dealing - or not - concentrating on the technical issues and leaving the emotions for later...
Dreakus is all business too, suggesting a diversion although from everything that we know about that base - and it could have changed a lot over the years since we last saw it - I'm not so sure splitting our strength would be the thing to do.
Still, as Max goes on to explain our powers, asking in return about theirs, I can't help noting that he mentions Dylan too, and I'm not too sure what that means. His powers could be useful, no doubt about it, but then that means putting him in danger, and that's the last thing I want to happen.. I wish I knew what was the right thing to do - if only I really could see into the future on a whim...
Then again of course, it probably means nothing, because he mentioned me too... I bite down on my lip, looking up at Max As I note that he hasn't replied to my last comment. *You've just said it yourself, I'm one of the two strongest at blasting - I can help!* I try to convince him as we wait for Zaira and Dreakus to respond.

While I'm waiting for Dreakus, Zaria or Tess to respond to my question, I hear Liz's silent but strong complaint in my head.
*I know you are,* I tell her, acknowledging her strength. *We'll need someone strong to look after the children. And we have the little one, too,* I say, laying my hand on her belly. Just having Tess arrive her stressed Liz enough to cause this episode. What if something like that happened when we were in there? She'd be captured, for sure.
As I'm mulling over Dreakus' plan, I'm more and more bothered by it. "How would you be sure the diversion team wouldn't be caught?" I ask. Afterall, isn't that exactly what happened to Zan? He was trying to be a diversion to keep the rest away from Zaira. He succeeded at that, but then he was captured.
"Maybe a two-pronged attack, instead. I'll go for Zan while a second team goes after their communications and security so that once we got him, they won't be able to organize to come after us or keep us inside." I look to Michael to see what he thinks of that idea, or if he likes Dreakus' better. He was the military strategist on Antar. Maybe he'll have a feeling for it. Either way, if we put me and Isabel on separate teams, we should be able to co-ordinate between the two with telepathy -- and I can keep in touch with Liz, too.
if I ever get time to post...
I will post later today but I have another off topic question. Are you guys getting your notices when someone posts in this game bc I'm not and thats one of the reasons I am getting behind in this game
