The Age of Ulyssa (AU/UC/ADULT) Thread #1

Michael/Ulyssa
"We've met your terms. I'm sure you can abide by ours." Max says resolutely, to the shifting figure above the parchment.
"I must say, I'm impressed with your intellect Maxwell. Quite frankly, I would expect no less from someone of your stature" Ulyssa says, referring to Max's royalty.
"I will comply with all of your demands, all save one..." she says, evenly.
"This second one, I'm afraid, is unacceptable. You see a fetus, even a hybrid, is not viable outside of the mothers womb at 3 months, therefore I will be unable to comply with this demand. Instead, the fetuses must be carried to term and nursed, at least for a brief spell, by their mothers. Also, you as the parents must name the children." She says resolutely.

Maria
I couldn’t take it anymore. My mouth had stayed shut long enough. I rose from the couch as I threw my hands and arms in the air.
“Okay, I’m sorry but I can’t just sit hit with my mouth shut any longer,” I began to pace the floor back and forth as I spoke, “This…this is just all so freaking crazy… I’m sorry but it is. I mean, you, some freaking creature from the black lagoon, come barging into our lives, as if we didn’t have enough problems as it was. And you demand that we have sex. I mean, sure it was on all our minds already and we were working our ways to getting there and we didn’t need any help…” I stopped pacing for a moment, “Well, at least some of us didn’t” then I resumed my pacing, “We would have all got there eventually. But not only do you want us to have sex, but you want us to have babies. I mean, at least when we finally did do the freaking deed we, again most of us, are smart enough to use protection. Do you have any idea what a baby would do to this body…. Not to mention what my mother would do to this body if there was a baby in it… an alien baby for that much! I mean who the hell do you think you are…”
“Maria.” I heard someone say, but I kept on anyway…
“Sex, then a baby. I mean the sex part Im sure we could all learn to deal with… but a baby! This is all crazy and you” I turned to Ulyssa, but had a hard time looking at her…”You, you are nothing but a….
”Maria!” I heard again and then was brought back to reality and stopped talking and just stood there in front of her.

“Okay, I’m sorry but I can’t just sit hit with my mouth shut any longer,” Maria says, getting to her feet and beginning to pace back and forth.
“This…this is just all so freaking crazy… I’m sorry but it is. I mean, you, some freaking creature from the black lagoon, come barging into our lives, as if we didn’t have enough problems as it was. And you demand that we have sex. I mean, sure it was on all our minds already and we were working our ways to getting there and we didn’t need any help…”

“Maria.” I say her name sharply, afraid that Ulyssa might do to Maria what she did to Liz.
“Sex, then a baby. I mean the sex part Im sure we could all learn to deal with… but a baby! This is all crazy and you. You, you are nothing but a…"
”Maria!” I say louder still as she stops her pacing right in front of Ulyssa. Ulyssa's form shifted wordlessly for a moment and then suddenly a hand appeared from her cloaked body and aimed directly at Maria.
"NO!" I yelled, as Ulyssa sent a bolt of something right for her. It took me an instant to react. As the bolt flew forward, I pushed Maria out of its way, allowing it to hit me instead.
For a moment, I felt a seering pain where my heart should have been. The room spinning wildly around me and then nothing...

I hide my relief as Ulyssa indicates she'll agree to almost all of our conditions. I'm about to argue her exception, thinking that if she can warp time the way she did earlier that this limit shouldn't be a problem for her, but I don't get the chance. Maria starts to rant and rave about how unfair the whole thing is. Something I agree with completely, as I believe we all do, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Michael tries to stop her, but Ulyssa fires some sort of energy at her and Michael dives in front to save her. He crumples to the ground, lifelessly.
"NO!" I scream, diving for him. "How do you expect to get our babies if you kill us?" I ask, even as I put my hands over his chest trying to make the connection. Everything around me fades as I pour my power into him, trying to save him....

I watch as Ulyssa's hand raises and then I feel Michael's hands on me as they force me to move just as she hits him with what was intened for me.
Max instantly goes to help Michael and I too make my way to his side.
"Michael, Michael, can you hear me?" I say in a panic. I lift his head and rest it in my lap, "Max, is he okay...is it working, can you help him?"
"Oh, this is all my fault. Me and my dumb mouth. He has to be okay, he just has to... I don't know what I'll do without him"
I then turned my vision to the creature that had done this, "So help me if he's not okay I will use actions instead of words this time." I mumble under my breathe.

Normally when I'm healing someone there's a sense of merging as my mind and body join with the other person. My heart will, for a moment, beat in sync with theirs and my breathing match theirs. But this is different. Michael's heart isn't beating. I can't feel it at all. He's not breathing. The connection is skewed.
I pour the energy in and it disappears into a black hole. There are no flashes. There's nothing at all.
My breathing becomes labored but I can't stop. I can feel the sweat forming on my forehead, but I keep pushing. Somehow, it has to work. Michael's my best friend...
Eventually, I feel it. The flashes start and I know I've found him. My energy finds a target and I start to heal his heart. It's hard. So much harder than anything I've ever done. A hundred times harder than dissolving the bullet in Liz and healing the damages. I feel like I'm building Michael's heart from scratch, molecule by molecule. Time slows to a crawl...
A beat!
And another.
His heart is working but I don't even have the energy to be glad. I keep going. At this point, I don't think I could stop if I tried. It's as 'though I'm falling into him, physically. I feel his lungs move and I know he's breathing again, but I'm lost. I can't feel anything except Michael and I'm experiencing him from the inside out. I can't see anything or hear anything because Michael is still unconcious. And still the healing isn't done.
More of my energy flows outward into his body, only now finding his own alien energy. Something in that energy firms up as the work is nearly done. Then, it bounces me back, and I gasp.
Only then do I realize that I hadn't been breathing. I gasp for breath, but I still can't see. Michael inhales again and then my vision clears. I see him. I'm balanced on my arms, my elbows locked. I can't move. I can't remember how. My lips move but nothing comes out.
Someone touches me on the shoulder and my arms move. I collapse then, falling almost on top of Michael, breathing hard as my eyes slide partially closed. Michael moves, shifting his hand slightly, and I feel myself fading.
I just ... need ... to rest...

”You know, strictly speaking, none of us are even eligible to sign a contract. This couldn't be legally binding since we're not adults. ... Well, except for Michael." Max comments and I shake my head. That's not really going to help our situation any. "Not that this is a legal arrangement in any way," he continues.
”So that's it. It's done. We have no choice now... not that I'm sure we ever had a choice in the first place...." Maria said and it was obvious she was nervous.
"So what do we think happens now? Will she come back? Or are we just, like, supposed to ... get on with it?" Tess questions and I shudder, looking around the room as I can't help but wonder the same thing.
"I... don't know, I fully expected her to appear here as soon as everyone's name was on the paper." I hear Max say before he added, “Well, if she doesn't, maybe we should just get some rest for now. Sleep on it." Talk then shifts to sleeping arrangements and such and I nod in agreement with my brother's comments on how things should be set.
Metallic laughter of Ulyssa fills the air again, catching all of us off guard. An instant later, the form of Ulyssa surfaces, fully formed from the parchment. Her ghostly shape hovered just above our signed names.
“Your quite the clever little hybrid aren’t you Max?” she says, her form shifting slightly “… with your demands and conditions. Well, let’s go over them, shall we... this should be fun.” she adds, obviously waiting for my brother to respond.
"Certainly, we've met your terms. I'm sure you can abide by ours." Max replies and I hold my breath, wondering just what Ulyssa will decide. Hoping that she will indeed abide by our conditions.
"I must say, I'm impressed with your intellect Maxwell. Quite frankly, I would expect no less from someone of your stature." Ulyssa responds and I'm not sure what to think.
"I will comply with all of your demands, all save one..." Ulyssa adds.
Before she even continues, I can feel myself growing cold inside at such a thing. "This second one, I'm afraid, is unacceptable. You see a fetus, even a hybrid, is not viable outside of the mothers womb at 3 months, therefore I will be unable to comply with this demand. Instead, the fetuses must be carried to term and nursed, at least for a brief spell, by their mothers. Also, you as the parents must name the children."
“Okay, I’m sorry but I can’t just sit hit with my mouth shut any longer,” Maria spoke, pacing, “This…this is just all so freaking crazy… I’m sorry but it is. I mean, you, some freaking creature from the black lagoon, come barging into our lives, as if we didn’t have enough problems as it was. And you demand that we have sex. I mean, sure it was on all our minds already and we were working our ways to getting there and we didn’t need any help… Well, at least some of us didn’t. We would have all got there eventually. But not only do you want us to have sex, but you want us to have babies. I mean, at least when we finally did do the freaking deed we, again most of us, are smart enough to use protection. Do you have any idea what a baby would do to this body…. Not to mention what my mother would do to this body if there was a baby in it… an alien baby for that much! I mean who the hell do you think you are…”
“Maria.” Michael tried to call warning her, but Matia continued. “Sex, then a baby. I mean the sex part Im sure we could all learn to deal with… but a baby! This is all crazy and you” She turned to look at Ulyssa as she stopped her pacing yet another time, ”You, you are nothing but a….
”Maria!” Michael exclaimed and Maria fell silent. A hand appeared from beneath Ulyssa's cloak and a bolt of energy shot forth even as Michael was pushing Maria out of the way, taking the hit in her stead.
"Michael!" I exlaim, concern filling me even as I stand for the moment, frozen while looking at Ulyssa.
"NO!" Max screams, going instantly to Michael and I knew he was going to try and heal him. My gaze followed my brother, finally dropping from Ulyssa as I moved a step closer to Max and Michael. Praying inwardly that Michael would be alright. "How do you expect to get our babies if you kill us?" .
"Michael, Michael, can you hear me?" Maria asks, panicked as she moves to Michael's side and places his head in her lap. "Max, is he okay...is it working, can you help him?"
"He'll try, Maria." I interjected as I knew Max wouldn't be able to respond while making the connection and I moved closer. He'd already healed Liz earlier and been doing so much that I wasn't sure how well Max was going to be able to help.
"Oh, this is all my fault. Me and my dumb mouth. He has to be okay, he just has to... I don't know what I'll do without him." Maria commented.
I note that Max makes the connection and I watch as he seems to struggle. When his eyes open and he seems to take a breath after several moments, my concern is founded. Placing my hand on his shoulder, I look at him with concern.
He collapsed, almost falling on Michael and I lean down next to him. "Max, Max." I look at him with concern, hoping that rest is all he would need. He's my brother, so cradling his head, I settle on the floor and wait. "Please be alright, Max." I knew what healing others did from time to time, how exhausted it can make him. I just hoped he wasn't too exhausted.

In a daze, I hear Isabel's voice. She's calling my name and she sounds worried. It's not hard to guess why. I hope Michael's okay now. It seemed to work, but I haven't heard him yet...
"I'm okay, Izzy," I say, softly. I open my eyes and shift a little to look into Isabel's eyes, but I don't try to stand up just yet. We've had our disagreements and at times it seems we keep each other at arm's distance, but she's still my sister and I know she loves me as much as I love her.
"I'll be okay in a minute but I don't think I can do that again anytime soon," I tell her, hoping my voice is low enough that Ulyssa won't hear me. "Please don't let anyone-else provoke her."

"I'm okay, Izzy," I hear Max respond softly. The sound of his voice, even though it's not quite normal, makes me feel instantly a bit better.
"I'll be okay in a minute but I don't think I can do that again anytime soon," Max says, his voice low. As I watch he opens his eyes and looks into mine. "Please don't let anyone-else provoke her," he says and I nod.
"I'll try." I tell him before glancing at the others without moving, giving Max the chance to rest that he needs to have for the moment. I draw in a deep breath before I speak loud enough for everyone to hear. "Look, we've gotten the chance to have some things agreed upon. It's better then nothing."
I hope I sound calmer then I feel as I look at Ulyssa, "The only questions I have now are.. one, what are we supposed to tell our parents and authorities when we end up pregnant, giving birth, weening and then have our children end up missing? And two, how long are you giving us for all of this to happen?"
Without thinking about it, my hands smooth Max's hair back much the way mom used to do with us when she was soothing us while we were younger.
