Out of the womb and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can’t you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the womb and into the void
Zander
Max puts a hand on either side of my face and I try as stand as still as I can because even though his last words were reassuring I am still a little weary. “Last time I saw you, I gave you something. Two things. One was a memory and the other …” he says and takes one hand away from my face and waves it in front of me. As soon as he does a memory I didn’t even know I had, hits me like a ton of bricks.
Its more intense feelings and emotions with just a few images. I remember falling and falling and then being scared but then Max’s face was there and I felt safe and loved. The last two emotions were just about strong enough to bring me to my knees but I manage to lock them and keep standing. The its and overwhelming sadness that I realize didn’t come from me but Max. He didn’t want to give me up but he wanted to keep me safe. But keep me safe from who?
“Do you remember?” he asks and all I can do is nod. I feel a little woozy at the sudden head motion and stumble slightly into a chair with Max’s help. “Zander Regan Grey when was the last time you ate?” Ava’s stern voice filters through the fog in my head. I think about her question for a moment but no answer comes to mind.
“I don’t know.” I say putting my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands for a moment as I let my head stop spinning. As I do I miss the look shared between Max and Ava.
“Perhaps we should regroup and meet back up tomorrow. That way you can explain things to Nathaniel, Natalie, and Liz and I need to talk to Dominique about a few things as well and Zander can get some sleep.”Ava suggests and I wonder how she knows I haven’t been sleeping as well. I’ve always thought she mothered me and now I know why. We really are family. Another freak family but blood all the same.
OOC: Regan means “little king” in Gaelic. Coincidence?

"So, as I was saying, how much do you know about your moms? I don't wanna be the one to throw ya for a loop." Drake asks me.
"I know nothing of her past. Only what happened after she meet my dad. She said her family; Rath, Lonnie and Zan died a long time ago and she doesn't talk about them but if your Rath's kid she must have been mistaken or your lying."
I hear Nate ask Sam and Danny to leave. What does he know that he wouldn't want my band mates to know? Why does Nate feel the need to be in charge of the situtition. I glance over at Michael he doen't say anything. He's just staring at Drake.
"Drake, if you know something about my mum, I wouldn't mind knowing what it is." I hope he'll tell me but if not it's not the end of the world. the end of the world would be us not getting to phoenix in time.

"I know nothing of her past. Only what happened after she meet my dad. She said her family; Rath, Lonnie and Zan died a long time ago and she doesn't talk about them but if your Rath's kid she must have been mistaken or your lying." Dominique begins after the guy, Nate... once again asked the other guy's to leave.
"Drake, if you know something about my mum, I wouldn't mind knowing what it is." She finishes and I look at her in silence for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Look, I don't know how much of what I's was told when I's was younger is true... but my moms and pops told me that they killed Zan and would have killed Ava too but she was a means to an end. They told me they did things to her dupe..." I can't keep from getting a sardonic expression as I continue, "They hated your moms, but yet there were times that I saw my pops missed havin her about. Moms... well she hated everyone... including me... they's dead now... died a few years back... Duke that raised me after... well I's didn't know it then, but he killed 'em."
I glance over at Michael as I add, "He tried ta tell me the dupes here killed 'em an that they'd kill Ava too..."
Glancing back at Dominique I pause a moment before saying, "I learned the truth... he killed 'em and he wants all o' us dead. Anyone that's not entirely human has got ta die as far as he's concerned. So's he and his peeps can take over."
ooc: hope this is ok... if not let me know and I'll change it

I learned the truth... he killed 'em and he wants all o' us dead. Anyone that's not entirely human has got ta die as far as he's concerned. So's he and his peeps can take over." Drake tells me.
I process what he is saying. Not entirely human. What does he mean by that? Is he special like my mum and me? No. He couldn’t be. My mum would have told me if there were others like us. Wouldn’t she have?
Sam and Danny tap me on the shoulder to say they need fresh air. I watch as they walk out the door.
“What do you mean about not entirely human?” I ask Drake.
~Michael~
This is bad. I don’t know what else to do but stand here and listen to Drake and Dominique talk. I’ve never been good at these kind of things. Yes I can kill a person but that’s different. Max always is in charge. He always makes the decisions. I now let Nate take control of the situation. He becomes more like his father everyday. Some times I wonder if it’s for the best. Max has always done what he thought was right at the cost of any one else’s happiness.
My mind wonders to Izzy. Max pushed her away. I know he did. It’s his fought she is gone and I’ve never forgiven him for that. I wish Isabel was here now. She’d know what to do,
I look at the kids. I’d do any thing to make sure they are safe and if this boy knows some thing that may jeopardize that safety I should at least here him out but Max should hear it to.
“Why don’t we just all relax and wait for Max and Ava to get done upstairs.” I say sitting on the couch. I wonder where Maria is at this moment.
“Anya have you talked to your mom today?” I ask

*Max*
When I see Zan's reaction, I'm very concerned that I've given him too much information for him to handle, but then Ava steps forward and I realize that it might be a purely physical issue. No food or sleep. It's interesting to see how Ava mothers him. I find it hard to picture Tess acting that way, although she did do her best by Zan after she left Khivar. Maybe motherhood really would have changed her.
"Perhaps we should regroup and meet back up tomorrow. That way you can explain things to Nathaniel, Natalie, and Liz and I need to talk to Dominique about a few things as well and Zander can get some sleep.” Ava suggests.
I can't deny that Zan needs food and sleep or that explanations are needed for everyone-else, but I feel that Zan needs something more. Everyone-else, well I don't know about Dominque, but I know that the rest of the kids all know what they are. Zan should at least be allowed that much.
"All right," I say. I'm still standing next to the chair that I'd helped Zan into, my hand still resting over his. It's so strange and wonderful to know he's here. "You're welcomed to eat in the Crashdown. Your whole band. On the house," I promise. "And we can give you all a ride to a hotel." I'd made that offer before and it's still good. Maybe Ava wants to get away and and eat at the hotel instead, and that would be okay.
"I just need to explain one thing more," I drop to my knees next to the chair so my eyes are on a level with his. I hope this isn't a mistake. That he's not too drained to be able to handle it but I really need to do this. "Zan. You asked how I could do those things. There's a lot more we need to talk about and that will wait until tomorrow, but I do want to answer that."
I pause just a moment. As much as I do want to tell him, it's always difficult to put this into words. "I said I wasn't completely normal. The full truth is I'm not completely human. Part of me is, but I'm also ... not of this world. Roswell is my home but I'm also from a place called Antar."
*Nathaniel*
My eyes widen as Dominque describes her mother's family as 'Rath, Lonnie and Zan.' Those names are my family -- well, my family's other names and the names of the dupes. But how does Ava fit into that? Dad said she was an old friend of my mother's but this makes me think she's more connected to him. Was she the fourth? Why can't I remember the other one's name? He almost never talks about the dupes and I don't think I heard her name more than once. Was it Ava?
"...they's dead now... died a few years back... Duke that raised me after... well I's didn't know it then, but he killed 'em." Drake says. Who's Duke? He wants to kill anyone who isn't completely human?
I glance at Danny and Sam, only to see that at last they're leaving. Hopefully, they've just decided that Drake is full of crap. It only just now occurs to me that they could be running off to make a phone call to the FBI. I wish Dad were here...
Uncle Michael sits down like he's in his own living room and starts to make casual conversation about Aunt Maria. How can he do that? I know he's waiting for Dad, too, but I don't see how we can do this with Drake here -- a kid who says someone's coming to kill us?
I want to ask about Duke, but I turn to Dominque first. "Your mom was family with Zan and Lonnie and Rath?" I ask. I glance at Uncle Michael including him in the question, looking for explanations. "Is that true?"

On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can’t you see these skies are breaking?
Cos on top of the world is where I’m from
Zander
"I said I wasn't completely normal. The full truth is I'm not completely human. Part of me is, but I'm also ... not of this world." Max says. I know I am probally looking at him like he has lost his mind, but then I start to think about all the crazy stuff that has happened to me and what I have seen Max do in just the last few minutes. It's crazy but how else would it be possible?
"So your from up there? So that means...I'm going to need some time to think about this." I say. I'm sure I'll have about a thousand questions once I have time to process everything but my brain is still foggy from all the other shocks today.
"Lets go back to the hotel so you can get some rest." Ava says and I roll my eyes at her. I start to stand slowly and head for the door when i stop when I finally realize something. "Oh, god I'm never going to be rid of you am I?"
"Nope." she says cheerfully as she starts to head out the door and down the stairs. I don't really know what to say to Max so there is an akward silence as we go back tp see the others. Oh damn I just tried to beat the crap out of Max's son. I don't even want to think about the brother word. Oh well the bastard deserved it and he's going to get worse if he doesn't leave Dom alone.
OOC: I think we should split the groups back out again and have them meet back up tomorrow. Maybe Drake go with Ava's crew? Or he can go with Max's it doesn't matter.

Zan seems to accept the news okay. I know it's going to take a while for it to all sink in. By tomorrow, he'll have a ton of questions. Ava might answer some of them for him but I'm sure there will be more.
I get to my feet as Ava leads Zan towards the door. Their cheerful banter makes me smile. I'm glad he's with someone who cares for him and loves him. Ava may not be his mother or his adoptive mother, but she's family just the same.
"Let me get the door," I say, stepping in front of them. I know Ava could unlock it, but I'm happy to help. I put my hand on the doorknob and exert a tiny amount of power to unseal it, then I twist it open. I gesture Ava and Zan to preceed me as we go through the apartment again to the stairs.
"Good night," I say to Nancy as we pass by her again. "Good night, Max," she says.
Then as we head down the stairs, I remember the punk kid who was claiming that someone was wanting to kill us. I hadn't heard any explosions during my conversation with Zan, so I'm guessing Michael handled that okay. I'm interested in finding out what happened.
As we get into the breakroom, I'm surprised to see Dominque is still there, and Michael is lounging on the sofa as if nothing odd is going on even 'though the punky kid is still there.
"Michael?" I ask. "What's going on?"

Before Anya has a chance to reply Nate is asking a question I rufuse to answer. We are silent for a moment. "Ask your Dad, Nate." I reply looking at Dominque. So I guess she isn't Nate's girlfriend. She said she is Ava's daughter and I don't know how I could have missed that. Dominque blue eyes mirrors her mothers. Her hair must be died. I don't have much time to ponder the wonders of teh girls hair dye before Max walk down teh stairs.
"What's going on?" he asks. I look around at the teenagers. They aren't saying a word.
"This boy, Drake's his name is Rath's son. So yea Maxwell, me and you need to have a conversation with him." I answer.

I'm not at all satisfied with Uncle Michael's answer, but it doesn't seem like he's going to change his mind. I stare at him for a moment, but then Dad arrives. I'm about to answer his question but I wait. He did direct it to Michael...
*Maxwell*
"Rath?" I ask in amazement. The boy had claimed that before I went upstairs, I remember. The fact that he's still here must mean that he'd some how validated that claim. "I thought Rath was dead long before you were born. Or did she only kill Lonnie?" I wonder aloud without saying Tess' name. Afterall, it wasn't really possible to tell if that flurry of ash was the remains of one Antarian or two. It could even have been a skin pretending to be Lonnie or Rath.
"And what about your claim that someone's trying to kill us?" I ask.

“What do you mean about not entirely human?” Dominique questions and I look at her carefully, trying to gauge whether she really knows about what she is or not. I'm certain that if she's Ava's daughter, she'd have to have some sort of powers, although my folks claimed that they doubted Ava would have anything dominant to pass on.
“Why don’t we just all relax and wait for Max and Ava to get done upstairs.” Michael ends up sitting down, kind of spoiling how much fun I was having annoying him. Damn.
“Anya have you talked to your mom today?” He questions and I turned to watch where he was looking. It was at the same girl I was noticing a moment before, though it kind of sucks that Dominique is basically related to me. She's real hot.
"Your mom was family with Zan and Lonnie and Rath?" The boy Nate asks my cousin, then turns to his own Uncle... still weird seeing my dad's face, yet not my dad. "Is that true?"
"Michael?" Max ask. "What's going on?"
"This boy, Drake's his name he is Rath's son. So yea Maxwell, me and you need to have a conversation with him." Michael replies to Max's question.
"Rath?" Max seems surprised and I turn to look at him, crossing my arms over my chest as I lean against the wall, smirking at him. "I thought Rath was dead long before you were born. Or did she only kill Lonnie?"
"No chick killed my parents. They's killed by same duke that's you's enemy. Same duke that wants yous all dead. Hell, he wants me dead too now... thought he'd done it once..." I can't keep from smirking because I'm damned pleased that I'd lived through the attempted murder. Might have been in some massive fucking pain for a while, but I'd lived.
"And what about your claim that someone's trying to kill us?" He questions and I shake my head.
"Not trying to kill you duke... planning to kill you. Fucker wanted to use me to do it, had me believin yous killed my moms and pops... but few months ago, I learned the truth. Anyways... I's given ya warnin, I came t' chat it up with Ava... so's I'm out of here... I's gotta talk to Ava and Dominique."
"How do we know you're speaking the truth about any of this?" The dude Micah speaks up, his eyes are narrowed as he keeps his expression cold. Maybe he's upset that his pops seemed amused with me but really didn't seem to give a damned about him.
"You really wanna know." I ask, looking right back at Micah and grinning as I step up to him quickly and push him against the wall, my hand around his throat though not choking him. "I'll show you."
I felt his mind struggle against mine as I made the connection, shoving the images of my parents bloody death into his mind. Forcing him to see what had been done to them. I heard him whimper and stepped back as I looked at him with a distant expression, "Does that convince you at all?"
"Where were you when that was happening?" His voice sounded weaker now, less certain of himself.
"Chained up. Bleeding."

"Michael?" Max ask. "What's going on?"
"This boy, Drake's his name he is Rath's son. So yea Maxwell, me and you need to have a conversation with him." Michael replies to Max's question.
"Rath?" Max seems surprised and I turn to look at him, crossing my arms over my chest as I lean against the wall, smirking at him. "I thought Rath was dead long before you were born. Or did she only kill Lonnie?"
"No chick killed my parents. They's killed by same duke that's you's enemy. Same duke that wants yous all dead. Hell, he wants me dead too now... thought he'd done it once..." I can't keep from smirking because I'm damned pleased that I'd lived through the attempted murder. Might have been in some massive fucking pain for a while, but I'd lived.
"And what about your claim that someone's trying to kill us?" He questions and I shake my head.
"Not trying to kill you duke... planning to kill you. Fucker wanted to use me to do it, had me believin yous killed my moms and pops... but few months ago, I learned the truth. Anyways... I's given ya warnin, I came t' chat it up with Ava... so's I'm out of here... I's gotta talk to Ava and Dominique."
"How do we know you're speaking the truth about any of this?" The dude Micah speaks up, his eyes are narrowed as he keeps his expression cold. Maybe he's upset that his pops seemed amused with me but really didn't seem to give a damned about him.
"You really wanna know." I ask, looking right back at Micah and grinning as I step up to him quickly and push him against the wall, my hand around his throat though not choking him. "I'll show you."
I felt his mind struggle against mine as I made the connection, shoving the images of my parents bloody death into his mind. Forcing him to see what had been done to them. I heard him whimper and stepped back as I looked at him with a distant expression, "Does that convince you at all?"
"Where were you when that was happening?" His voice sounded weaker now, less certain of himself.
"Chained up. Bleeding."
