Roswell Fanatics

Kyle

"He's in trouble" Max said. I closed my eyes and let him go. I saw some flashes of him in a white room too. Liz and Max flashes weren't the only one's I saw. I understood he didn't want the same happen to Michael.

I followed him. Then he made the shield. Then I looked at the doctor in the ground.

"No wait, Tess don't hide me" I said to her. I regonized the doctor. "I'll handle him, you leave" I told Max.

I walked over to the doctor. "Are you okay?" I asked him. The doctor had his eyes closed. Looked like he was trying to calm himself. I just hoped Max and Tess would do what I asked.

OOC: sorry for the delay, I have been meaning to post, hence why this is so long because I already had things in mind to include. This week has been pretty busy though so I'm afraid it's taken a while. Hope this works for everyone. I know it doesn't take us much further, but it gets me up to date anyway I guess

“Good, I’m glad we found you in time…”

Max’s words make me stiffen a little. In time…what might have happened if I had been left alone…? “W-what’s going on…?” I ask, still having major confusion over what the heck is happening. There are so many questions running round in my head… How did I get here…? Where is here? Why am I-no we here…? And they’re only the first three…

Max holds out his hand and I take it, allowing him to help me up. I spin round as I hear a voice though

“No side effects?”

My eyes widen as I take in the rest of the group for the first time. Kyle…Isabel…Tess… Max…and Alex… With the exception of Tess, I guess these would have to be some of the people I most want to see, although of course Alex’s presence brings a new question to mind…is Maria here…?

From the look on Kyle’s face, I know exactly what he’s meaning when he refers to side-effects and Max looks most apologetic as he tries to explain that he had no idea. I look back at Kyle and nod in agreement with Max. “He’s right Kyle…nothing like this has ever happened to me before, we had no way of knowing it would happen…

Part of my brain is still trying to work out what exactly just happened, but a larger part of me is simply concentrating on trying to keep hold of the control I’ve got at the moment. Whatever has happened, it’s obvious that I’ve been changed in some way but I’m guessing this really isn’t the time to be discussing it any further. As long as I’m not about to explode again, I guess that will have to do for now…

“Great, just great. Now I have to worry about if I’m going to be like a microwave or something. It wasn’t enough being in a creepy place…”

I know from experience that the way Kyle is now walking in a circle is something that he does when he’s nervous. I take a breath and try to diffuse some of the situation. “Less of the comments about a microwave if you don’t mind…Surely a blow torch or flame thrower would be more appropriate…” I give a weak laugh, trying to lighten the atmosphere but I think it falls on deaf ears.

Suddenly I realise what Kyle said about creepy place and something about his tone tells me he’s not meaning that in the normal way. “W-what did he mean Max…?” I ask softly.

Max looks round at the five of us and I note he makes a comment about being glad Isabel and I are ok. From this I take it that the rest of the group hasn’t been reunited for long and this only adds to my questions.

Next, Max thanks Tess and then moves onto explaining something of the situation. I stand next to him, listening and trying to figure out if I’m hearing him right. It all sounds so crazy…and yet something about everything that I’ve seen seems to back it up…

“We are apparently in a hospital called St. Andrea's

A hospital, sure, that makes sense…it fits with what I deduced even… That bit I can handle, but then comes the shocker…

“…and according to the doctor who talked to Kyle, we have been frozen for a thousand years."

I gasp, my hand flying to my mouth. A thousand years…that’s just not possible…is it…?

I’m about to voice these thoughts, but then I remember the strange hovercar type vehicles I saw out of the window and I begin to wonder. Everything would seem to fit…

"I have no idea how we got here, or why they would be unfreezing us now. Or even if it's true, although the view outside the window does seem to support this. Kyle says they know what we are and where we're from. That probably means Michael is here, too. And probably Maria. I don't know if there's anybody-else but we have to find out so we can find them.”

As much as I would like to think Maria is far away from all this craziness, I can’t deny that Max is right…

"The doctor said that Roswell was destroyed a long time ago. And I guess that means our families are...well…”

Kyle trails off but we all know what he means. He mentions his dad and then leans against the wall. I swallow, blinking back the tears which spring to my eyes as I realise what all this will mean. My mom, dad…a thousand years is a long time if Kyle is right…they’ll have been d-dead for a long time…

The energy inside me begins to spark again and I know it’s going to be caused by my emotions. I have to get a grip though…I can’t do this again, and I can’t be forever relying on Max to help… Closing my eyes, I focus and try to picture the energy as I know Max did. It can’t be allowed to take over my body…it has to flow through the correct channels and keep a steady even flow…

It takes a few minutes, but slowly I can feel that what I’m trying to do is succeeding… I know that this means that I’m missing some of the conversation maybe, but I tend to think this is as important as anything. I can’t be risking having a little ‘episode’ like just now in front of someone who’s not part of the group, and I can’t risk it causing problems with an attempted escape – something which I presume is a gimme as far as expectations go…

Suddenly, I find my concentration broken. A loud blast…coming from nearbye I’d say…

"What was that?" someone asks.

Max’s eyes widen and before he even says it, I think I know what the answer is.

“It sounded like ... Michael…He's near and he's in trouble! Come on!"

Max rushes to the door but Kyle tries to stop him. I’m too far away to hear what is being said, still needing a moment to find my feet and my balance before being able to go after him, but even so, Isabel, Tess, Alex and I are all close behind.

However much I might not like Tess, at this moment in time I know that she’s doing her best for us all and I can see from the look of concentration on her face this far from easy for her.

Whatever Kyle is saying, Max doesn’t seem t like though and a moment later he moves off again before blasting through a door.

The sight which meets us is not that which would be expected… Michael in the starkers is the last thing I thought I was going to see…

The presence of the guy in the white coat seems to tell us exactly what was going on though and Max pushes him to the ground.

Kyle tells Tess to allow the doctor to see him, going over and helping him up, and I hurry over to the wall panel which appear to match that in my room. Pressing on it, it slides open to reveal a number of outfits as before. I grab a t-shirt and some trousers which I take over to Michael. “Here…you might want to put something on…” I tell him softly offering him the garments.

Both Kyle and Antonio in this post. Kyle's POV though. KatnotKath, great post.

Kyle

I helped the doctor up and waited for him to reply to my question. He opened his eyes and looked at me, confused.

"Where's Mr.Guerin?" Antonio - or was that his name? - asked.
"I haven't seen anyone. I just heard something from here and saw you falling" I told the man.

I hoped the others would leave while I was talking to him. Maybe I could get some other info from him too. I looked at his name badge. Antonio Mclean. I guessed right.

"Now, I'm serious. He was--oh, it must be the alien powers" Antonio said.
"What alien powers? I still didn't see anyone--"
"Stop playing with me, and why aren't you in your room anyway?"

I rolled my eyes. SO he just noticed I was out of my room? I sighed and scratched my head.

"You know, new places. I was searching for a bathroom and then I got lost..." I explained. "And then I found you. What a lucky thing I found you. I was looking for my way back to my room just now.." I told him.

The doctor looked at me like he didn't believe me, but then he shook his head and told me to follow him. I did so, because I didn't want to say no either. He still looked confused because of the disappearance, but I think he knew about Tess's powers. I didn't blame him for being scared a little. Michael and others did disappear in front of his eyes. I smirked as we reached the room I left.

"Even if I put you in there I have a feeling that you won't be there long" the doctor says.
"What do you mean by that, of course I will be" I grinned silently to myself as I entered the room. Back in the start, huh?

*MAX*

Michael takes the clothes as the doctor starts to talk to Kyle. The way he talks to Kyle and the way he mentioned aliens, tells me this is the doctor that first told Kyle we had all been frozen for a thousand years. It's clear he doesn't see the rest of us and I give Tess an encouraging nod.

"Hurry," she says, softly, although the doctor won't hear her anyway.

I grab Michael by the arm as soon as he has his pants on. "Let's go. You can get the rest, later."

Hurriedly, we leave the room and duck back into the place we found Liz just as Antonio and Kyle start down the hallway. Liz's room isn't exactly safe since we're still in the hospital, but it's a start.

Tess heaves a sigh of relief, half-colapsing into the visitor's chair. I stay by the door, opening it just enough to peek out and watch exactly which room Kyle is being taken to. We'll go collect him shortly, if he doesn't come back here on his own. Actually, since he'll most likely be locked in again, I guess we will have to fetch him.

With a sigh of relief, I turn around to see that Michael is mostly dressed again. He's pulling on the shoes Liz grabbed for him, scowling. I'm sure he's wishing for a decent pair of sneakers instead. I'm just glad we got there before he was hurt at all.

"Are you okay, Michael?" I ask. "What happened?"

~*Isabel*~


Wow, a thousand years in the future. Thank God mainly everyone is here, except for our parents....I'm sure we'll figure out if their well....alive or dead soon...but I betting on the latter.


Max,Michael,Kyle,Liz,Alex, and Tess at least are here...but where's Maria?


We went into Michael's room and he's standing there bearing all to everyone....someone tosses his clothes at him and I think Tess is hiding us, or at lease I hope she is.


"What do we do now?", I ask and frown leaning on the wall.

Kyle

I tried to open the room door. Locked. How did I guess that? I walked over to the window and looked out. Flying cars flying past me, people walking in something that seemed like a road. I sighed and closed my eyes. Maybe it was just a bad dream. Only a bad dream.

"I'm sure buddha doesn't know anything helpfull to this situation" I though and sat down on the bed.

Maybe Buddha didn't even exist in the year 3000. Mayve cocacola didn't excist in the year 3000. Maybe there were more aliens in the year 3000. Who knew? The local people did, yeah, but there wasn't anyone who I could ask. There wasn't anyone who I could bother with my stupid questions.

alright alright a Michael Post.

<<Michael>>

It all happened so fast. Last thing I think is that I'm about to kill this FBI guy because it's rather kill than be killed. Or in my case poked and proded and tortured. Next thing I know Max and the gang? come and rescue me and toss me some of the ugliest clothes I'v ever seen. Well now at least I know they're all alright.

"Maxwell" I begin to calm and rationalize what's going on. "We need to come up with a plan now." As I put the hidious clothes on to cover up my nakedness. I continue "They're FBI agents in this building. I say we escape this place and blow it up. Now!"

As I look around and wait for Max's agreement. I notice that Isabel has said something. I notice that Liz is here with Max, Tess is here and so is Alex. If Liz and Alex are here than.....

"Maxwell is Maria here? If Liz and Alex are here she must be here to." I begin to frantically yell and curse. I'm paniking now. I throw my shirt on the floor and head back towards the room that had Kyle and the FBI agent in it. I have to find Maria. She's human and she won't be able to handle the torture.

"Maxwell we have to find Maria now. Before we blow this place." As I head towards my old "room" it finally dons on me that I'm freezing cold. and very shirtless. God what did they do to me. No matter. I shake off the coldness and continue down the hall. What was the lie that FBI man told me. We were in the future. Yeah Right. Time to find out some answers from this agent I'll find Maria one way or another.

I go back to the door Max resued me in. I try the knob but it's locked.

"MARIA!!!" I begin to yell as I run down the hall.

I here Max yelling after me to stop. Why would he say that.

"MARIA.!!" I continue to yell "MARIA IF YOU CAN HERE ME THAN ANSWER ME NOW."

All of a sudden Max grabs me by the shoulder and turns me around. Why is he stopping me from looking for her. The sooner we find Maria the sooner we can get Kyle and leave this place. Why is he stopping me.

*Max*

"Michael! No!" I hiss as he bolts for the door, shouting. I leap after him, grabbing him from behind and clamping my hand over his mouth. "Damn it, be quiet. Do you want us all to be caught?" I almost never curse but if there ever was a time for it, this is it.

He struggles against me but I keep my hand over his mouth as I look to Tess. She shakes her head and I immediately understand why. She can't mindwarp someone if she doesn't know where they are. God only knows who might have already heard him.

"Here!" I whisper, pushing him back into the room. He's still fighting me but I don't let go. Tess stays by the door, ready to hide us from anyone who might try to get in. Alex and Isabel come close, ready to help me if Michael starts to get free. I nod at them, glad for the back up.

"Michael," I tell him, urgently. "We don't even know if she's here, but I think she is. We're going to find her, but we have to be careful. They know who we are. There could be hundreds of agents here. I'm gonna let you go, but you can't go shouting like that, okay?"

I wait for a moment and Michael nods. I heave a sigh of relief and let him go. "Listen," I tell them all. "There are ten rooms on this floor and I've been in six of them. Kyle went into a seventh and we'll have to get him back, too. That leaves three possible rooms for Maria. One of them is right next door."

Michael starts as if to bolt, but stills as everyone glares at him. "We have to be careful. She might not be alone," I caution him, but I know we can't wait any longer. Michael is already fidgeting, barely containing himself. "Let's go then. Quietly. Tess?"

Tess nods and opens the door. I carefully creep out with her and Michael. Opening the next door, I'm glad to find nobody's there, but my heart nearly stops at what I see. A sterile-looking room with a stainless-steel bathtub, electronic equipment, medical monitoring devices, a padded gurney, a treadmill. Gritting my teeth, I try to tell myself it could be nothing but an ordinary Physical Therapy room, but I can't quite believe that.

"Across the hall, then," I suggest, pointing to the next of the rooms we haven't yet been inside.

ooc: I hope it's okay to borrow Max a little, I mean, like Max could get Kyle and others look for Maria. I want to post a long post, so I'll be borrowing Max to make writing a long easier. I can edit, if it's not okay.

Kyle

I heard yelling outside of the room. I knew Michael had realized Maria might be here. I sighed and shook my head and sat on the bed. I had time to think things for a while until they'd get me out. Even though, I wasn't sure if I could do that since my mind was like a bizarre. I looked out of the window and noticed there wasn't any movement right now.

'We need to find out what's going on, we can't just leave the hospital' It though and closed my eyes. 'At least I need to find out what's going on'

Then I heard the door open and I looked there. I saw Max.

"Kyle let's go" he told me.

I shook my head and looked away. I knew he was going to say something, but I got up and walked over to the window.

"I'm not leaving, Max...I'm not leaving" I told him.

I looked at him. I could see he was confused. I sighed an leaned against the wall near the window. I knew he wouldn't understand if I didn't explain, so I needed to say it. As short as possible.

"I want to find out what's going on. I need to find out what's going on. I don't know about you, but I'm not leaving the hospital until I get an explanation" I told Max.

I couldn't let him say anything right now, I needed to continue talking before he could say something to change my mind.

"Look I'm not saying you should say. I saw flashes of you being captured by the FBI. I know you're afraid that the same thing might happen now yo you or someone from the group. But leaving isn't going to change the fact that we are in the year 3000!" I explained to him and took a deep breath.

I closed my eyes for a while, then opened them and looked somewhere else.

"Whatever you decide to do isn't my concern. I'm staying here and going to find out what's going on. I'm not an alien, I'm not in danger. Even if I might end up like Liz, I'll never be an alien...."

<<Michael>>


It took a while but Max was able to calm me down. It seems he's right. It's a bad idea to get the FBI agents riled by letting them know where we are in the facility.

I controlled my anger and followed Max into the first room, which had nothing in it. Max looked around a bit as if he were remembering something but he soon closed the door and we entered the next room.

I was hopping Maria would be in the room but it was Kyle. At least we had him.

Once we entered the room Kyle began to speak to Max. About how he wanted to stay in the hands of the FBI.

"Whatever you decide to do isn't my concern. I'm staying here and going to find out what's going on. I'm not an alien; I'm not in danger. Even if I might end up like Liz, I'll never be an alien...." Kyle finished.

I sighed. What the hell was wrong with Kyle.

"Listen Valenti." I began. I simply can't control my anger now. "Weee" I circle my arms around Max Liz, Myself, Isabel and Tess. "As in all of us aliens and humans don't have time for you. Maria is still missing somewhere in this place that is filled with FBI agents making up stupid lies about us being in the future just to trick you. If you're dumb enough to believe what they are saying then that's fine with me. But don't put our lives in danger by deciding to stay here."

I continue to the most important fact.

"Kyle you know about us and our history. that makes you knowledgeable and useful to the FBI if they decide to torture you in just the right way. If you have flashes of what Max went through with the FBI than you know the type of torture I'm talking about. I'll be damned before me or anyone else is endangered, hurt, or possibly killed because of you're stupid decisions. Now...." I put my hands up in firing mode towards Kyle. "You're coming with us one way or another."

I wait for Max to agree with me. He knows I'm right this time.
