Summary: Liz and Kyle are enjoying their Prom night, but when their big brother shows up telling them they have to return to the one place they are scared of, Manticore, what will happen when one of them gets captured? Will they get out alive or be turned into the soldier they were meant to be? (Sounds dramatic, doesn’t it!!)

Prologue
Liz Parker stood, shocked at what she’d just witnessed. She’d come out into the corridor to find Max, to explain that even though they couldn’t be together she still wanted to be friends. But instead she had found him kissing the same girl Liz was trying to push him towards. Tess wasn’t a bad person, not really, Liz just didn’t like people touching what she considered her, and that used to be Max.
Turning around she silently walked back into the hall where her prom was taking place. Scanning the room she found each of her friends, Maria and Michael were sitting at a table chatting about something that would probably end with them fighting, Alex and Isabel were on the dance floor off in their own world. Spotting Kyle standing alone by the punch she walked over to him.
Touching him on the shoulder, she walked around to stand in front of him.
What’s wrong bro?” She asked in a quiet voice that she knew he would hear, even over the loud music. That was one of the upsides of what they were. She and Kyle were created by a government project called Manticore in a lab, which played about with DNA mixing human and animal. They were designed to be warriors, killing machines without any independent thoughts or feelings. It worked, for the first few years till the guards started dragging away her brothers and sisters when they had seizures, only for them to be dissected alive. After that the whole unit started rebelling, plotting an escape. But when Max, one of her big sisters, had starting seizing they knew there and then that the escape was happening that night. They didn’t know what was on the other side of the perimeter, but their instincts told them that it had to be better than the hell hole they had been raised in.
After Eva went down, it had given them all even more determination to get out of there.
When they’d all separated, Liz had never been more scared. She’d never been alone before, but she wasn’t alone for long. When she’d seen guards surrounding Kyle, she’d leapt into action, taking them all down before they knew what had happened. After that, the two of them had stuck together and had ended up in New York and were found on the streets by Jim and Louise Valenti. The newlyweds had taken them in and had returned to Roswell with them, for Kyle to be adopted by them and Liz to be adopted by the Parkers who couldn’t conceive naturally and had always wanted a little girl.
Once they had been adopted, Liz and Kyle went into their own groups of friends but they always spent any free time they had together. They decided a few months after being adopted that they were going to tell their parents about whom and what they were, and were thrilled that their parents accepted them. Then a few years after that, Liz wanted to tell Maria and Alex, at which Kyle was a bit reluctant, he shouldn’t have been as the two of them, even Maria, had reacted calmly about it.
Liz and Kyle were two transgenics who were lucky enough not to suffer from the seizures. Kyle thought it was because they were the youngest – Liz was the youngest female X5, but the most dangerous of them all and Kyle was the youngest of the males, Liz being the older one of the two- but even though they didn’t get the shakes, Liz still went into heat. Something they discovered when her and Kyle had gone on their weekly camping trip, Liz had gone into heat and Kyle had reacted to the pheromones she was giving out which resulted in them sleeping together. That was just two weeks before Liz had gotten shot and was also the reason they had pretended to be together, because they had been in the middle of the woods and hadn’t been planning on sleeping together, they didn’t have any protection, since Liz was in heat it had increased the chance of her being pregnant to 90%, something they weren’t too happy about. They found out a month after the shooting that Liz wasn’t having their baby, but had stuck together for an extra week as their big brother Zack had shown up, saying that their position might have been compromised, meaning they might have to leave. The three of them had decided that it would look better for them to disappear when they were dating rather than have just split up.
Liz hadn’t wanted to hurt her brother by not telling him about the aliens, but she had wanted to make sure it was safe for him before letting him in. Unfortunately, he’d gotten shot and healed before she could tell him. The two of them had then spent the summer together in L.A, they’d gone shopping, clubbing, to the beach and had even taken part in a few summer flings.
After the summer they’d gone back to normal, with Kyle going up Liz’s ladders late at night and then leaving early in the morning. The Parkers, Jim, Maria and Alex all knew about their routine and were glad that the siblings were close again. Of course they had to keep their distance when Liz went into heat, even though the two weren’t blood related in any way, they still thought of each other as brother and sister. But when Future Max had been there and she’d staged her little scene with Kyle, after Max had seen them Liz had suddenly had her heat hit and since Kyle was there, the two of them had slept together again, this time using the protection Kyle had in his wallet.
Once Kyle had left, Future Max had come out of the bathroom with a look of such hurt that Liz had actually felt guilty before realizing that they couldn’t have helped it. But the big shocker had happened when , she’d leant forward to get her watch and her hair had slipped to the side revealing her barcode, Liz didn’t even make a move to cover it, thinking that if she was married to Max then he obviously knew about Manticore. But when she’d felt his fingers gently touch it and heard his ask her how she had it now, her eyes had almost filled with tears before she’d cut off her emotions a bit. When she’d turned around, he went on to explain that she’d told him that her and Kyle had gotten them just after graduation, or so she’d told him. Knowing there was no other way, she’d sat him down and told him everything about Manticore, being adopted, telling the other, her pregnancy scare, Zack finding them, how she’d planned on telling Kyle without him knowing, she’d explained her heat – that she’d gone through it 5 times, including that day and since she couldn’t fight that side of her 4 of them had been successful in having sex.
The look on Max’s face when Liz had finished her long story had made her heart clench. She hadn’t wanted to hurt him, but when you find out that your wife, the girl you lost your virginity to had been keeping so many secrets, you’re bound to feel hurt and betrayed.
He’d asked a few questions that she’d been more than happy to answer. But when he’d asked ‘do you love me?’ she’d hesitated and before she could answer he’d disappeared into thin air, but she’d whispered ‘Yes, but not like you want me to’ hoping that he could hear her.
After that Liz and Kyle grew even closer as did Max and Tess. Liz started seeing a better, nicer side to the blonde alien and even started silently rooting for the two to get together. Even though Max was still angry at her and was still denying any feelings for Tess, Liz had asked her ex to prom, since she knew her baby brother was taking Tess. But when she’d seen him stare at her with pure love and lust when they were dancing, she’d realized him coming as her dance was an extremely bad idea, which is why she’d given him that big long speech. Then he’d left her standing there feeling bad for ruining her night, so she’d gone after him only to find his swapping spit with the same person he’d just been denying having any feelings for. Liz was actually starting to feel bad for the girl, Max seemed to only go to her after he’d been put down by Liz, who was thinking that he was just using her.
And now, as she was standing here talking to her brother, Liz came to the conclusion that Max was an ass and that he was the most confusing person she’d ever met – and she was from Manticore.
“I told Tess I only have brotherly feelings for her.” Kyle stated before taking a gulp of the punch that was spiked with whiskey. He knew he would have to drink the whole bowl and then some if he wanted to get drunk but it was worth a try.
“You what now?” Liz asked incredulously, sure she would like it if Max and Tess got together, it got him off her back, but she really wanted Tess to be with her brother as they compliment each other and it would make Kyle happy.
“You heard me Lizzie, it’s for the best and I saw them kissing too.” He’d gone into the hall to try and build up the courage to tell Tess about his non-brotherly feeling for her, but has seen her and Max kissing.
“Ok, bro, you need to stop trying to get drunk and come dance with me.” Liz stated as she watched him drink his fifth cup of punch, which she knew was laced with alcohol. She thanked her heightened senses.
Before Kyle could protest she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor just as Sheryl Crow’s ‘If it makes you happy’ came on.
Kyle pulled his sister to him, resting one hand on the bottom of her back and the other over her barcode. He held her tightly, leaning his chin on her shoulder as Liz put her hands around his neck, taking a hold of his hair and she started singing the words into his ear.
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And drank till I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
[Chorus]
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
and serve you French toast again
well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
[Chorus]
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
[Chorus]
Sighing, Kyle thanked the blue lady that Liz stopped the help him the night of the escape. He would have been captured if it wasn’t for her. When they’d slept together for the first time, for both of them it was their first time, he thought that it would become awkward between them and was thankful that it didn’t. The second time they banged the gong, it brought them even closer.
Liz felt a tap on her shoulder and heard a deep, male voice ask if he was interrupting. She pulled away from Kyle, just enough so she could see him, only to come face to face with Zack. She wanted to jump into his arms and then punch him for not being in contact for 6 months – he checked on them in L.A., but she knew that would draw unwanted attention. Instead she just smiled and negatively shook her head.
“Good, say goodbye and then meet me at Kyle’s a.s.a.p.” He ordered.
Before they could say anything he stalked off. The siblings looked at each other, Liz took his hand and they started walking over to their table which Alex and Isabel were now sitting at too.
“Hey guys, we’re going to call it a night.” She told them.
“Ok, night Chica, night Buddha boy.” Maria smiled, she’d seen Zack on the dance floor, and she’d seen him in pictures from L.A. and knew something was going down. She wanted to know what. The others at the table said goodnight too and then Liz and Kyle headed for the exit.
As they walked down the corridor, Liz felt like her feet were on fire. The only heel she could walk or run in was boots. Suddenly, she felt her feet leave the floor as Kyle started carrying her bridal style.
“What the hell are you doing?” She asked, she could have walked to the car. Maybe.
“I know you hate anything with a heel, except boots.” He smirked and then chuckled as he heard his big sister mumble something about ‘damn mind reader’ and ‘slap that stupid smirk off his face.’ He knew she hated getting help, but tuff.
Kyle carried Liz all the way to the car before easily sliding her in as he’d left the convertible top down. After getting in the car and starting the engine, he starting the journey to his house.
Neither of them noticed Max and Tess sitting in the same seats as before, having just talked about their kiss. Max told her that he was in love with Liz and that wasn’t going to change and Tess admitted to having feeling for Kyle. After that they’d just sat a really talked for the first time in ages. When Kyle and Liz had come out of the hall, Max was about to ask them if they were leaving when Kyle had picked Liz up, causing her to say something to him, Kyle then replyed and laughed before Liz relaxed into Kyle’s embrace. Max and Tess then sat there for twenty minutes, neither noticing Alex nor Maria sneaking off; the two were in shock of what they’d seen. Tees then stood up and asked if Max wanted to head back to hers to drown their sorrows in a film. He accepted and the two started heading the Valenti’s, each silently praying they wouldn’t walk in on anything between Kyle and Liz.
Within the twenty minutes Max and Tess had sat there and the five minute drive home, Liz and Kyle had been informed of everything; Tinga being taken, Zack and Max going in to rescue her, Tinga being dead, Max being taken by Lydecker and now how they were needed to help him, their brother Krit, sister Syl and a friend of Max’s, Logan Cale, get Max back.
Zack had already started heading back to Seattle, now Liz and Kyle were preparing to leave. Liz was in Kyle’s room changing into the spare clothes she kept there and had lifted the emergency bag with clothes, money, guns and a spare key that she also kept there.
“Liz, do you know where my-” She heard her brother stop abruptly, thinking something was wrong she rushed out of the room, only to stop at the sight of Max and Tess standing in the living room and Kyle standing in the joining kitchen in nothing but his boxers. She felt everybody’s eyes on her and then she realized that; 1) she didn’t have a top on so her purple ‘ooh la la’ demi bra was on show and 2) that the trousers she had on were leather and tight, not something she would wear in Roswell. Everyone stood in silence as tension filled the room.
“Awkward.” Liz stated, out the corner of her eye she could see Kyle smirking. “Well, this has been fun but I need to get dressed, coming Kyle?” Turning she heard two gasps and she cursed silently. She’d pulled her hair into a bun when getting changed so her barcode was in full view, plus with no top on and low riding trousers the tattoo of twelve stars, scattered across the bottom of her back, each of them with an initial in it for a brother or sister in the escape was visible. She’d gotten it in L.A. and Kyle had gotten a crucifix over his heart, also visible. They hadn’t told any of the Pod Squad about because they really didn’t feel the need.
Pretending she didn’t hear them, she kept on walking and was thankful when Kyle stepped behind her and followed.
After pulling on a black Chinese-style top, she took down her hair, put on some more make-up and put on her knee high boots with a 4” heel. She took her automatic 9mm and placed in the back of her trousers and put the dagger she always carried into the special pouch inside the arm of her black leather bomber jacket that she was wearing. Kyle got dressed and then threw their three bags out the window, because they didn’t want to draw suspicion from the pair in the living room.
Fifteen minutes later they had walked to the Crashdown to get their motorcycles, which the kept in the Parkers garage. When Liz lifted the large door, she and Kyle were shocked to find her parents, Jim, Maria and Alex all standing on the other side.
“What are you guys doing?” She asked stunned.
“Maria saw Zack and figured something was up.” Alex smiled.
“We were going to call when we stopped for gas.” Kyle explained.
After getting their bikes out, Kyle and Liz said their goodbyes. Maria and Alex stood back as Liz hugged her parents; pulling away she walked over to them.
“Come back to us soon. Love you.” Alex hugged her and gave her kiss on the head.
“I will, love you too.” She replied. He then walked over to Kyle.
“Please don’t cry ‘Ria.” Liz pleaded as she wiped away her best friend’s tears.
Maria apologized and then pulled the X5 into a tight hug.
“Maria, this isn’t goodbye. I’m going to be back, especially now you have these.” Liz took off her old dog tags from Manticore and placed the chain around Maria’s neck. “I want them back so don’t loose them. I love you girl.”
“I’ll never take them off. I love you Chica.” The girls embraced one last time before Liz walked over to her bike, put on her red tinted sunglasses and mounted her bike. As she revved the engine she saw Kyle following her actions, and with one last glance her family, she kicked off and the siblings started their journey towards Seattle – to rescue Max.

Touching him on the shoulder, she walked around to stand in front of him.
What’s wrong bro?” She asked in a quiet voice that she knew he would hear, even over the loud music. That was one of the upsides of what they were. She and Kyle were created by a government project called Manticore in a lab, which played about with DNA mixing human and animal. They were designed to be warriors, killing machines without any independent thoughts or feelings. It worked, for the first few years till the guards started dragging away her brothers and sisters when they had seizures, only for them to be dissected alive. After that the whole unit started rebelling, plotting an escape. But when Max, one of her big sisters, had starting seizing they knew there and then that the escape was happening that night. They didn’t know what was on the other side of the perimeter, but their instincts told them that it had to be better than the hell hole they had been raised in.

We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
and serve you French toast again
well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

Zack had already started heading back to Seattle, now Liz and Kyle were preparing to leave. Liz was in Kyle’s room changing into the spare clothes she kept there and had lifted the emergency bag with clothes, money, guns and a spare key that she also kept there.
“Liz, do you know where my-” She heard her brother stop abruptly, thinking something was wrong she rushed out of the room, only to stop at the sight of Max and Tess standing in the living room and Kyle standing in the joining kitchen in nothing but his boxers. She felt everybody’s eyes on her and then she realized that; 1) she didn’t have a top on so her purple ‘ooh la la’ demi bra was on show and 2) that the trousers she had on were leather and tight, not something she would wear in Roswell.

She’d pulled her hair into a bun when getting changed so her barcode was in full view, plus with no top on and low riding trousers the tattoo of twelve stars, scattered across the bottom of her back, each of them with an initial in it for a brother or sister in the escape was visible. She’d gotten it in L.A. and Kyle had gotten a crucifix over his heart, also visible. They hadn’t told any of the Pod Squad about because they really didn’t feel the need.
Pretending she didn’t hear them, she kept on walking and was thankful when Kyle stepped behind her and followed.
After pulling on a black Chinese-style top, she took down her hair, put on some more make-up and put on her knee high boots with a 4” heel. She took her automatic 9mm and placed in the back of her trousers and put the dagger she always carried into the special pouch inside the arm of her black leather bomber jacket that she was wearing. Kyle got dressed and then threw their three bags out the window, because they didn’t want to draw suspicion from the pair in the living room.
Fifteen minutes later they had walked to the Crashdown to get their motorcycles, which the kept in the Parkers garage. When Liz lifted the large door, she and Kyle were shocked to find her parents, Jim, Maria and Alex all standing on the other side.
“What are you guys doing?” She asked stunned.
“Maria saw Zack and figured something was up.” Alex smiled.
“We were going to call when we stopped for gas.” Kyle explained.
After getting their bikes out, Kyle and Liz said their goodbyes. Maria and Alex stood back as Liz hugged her parents; pulling away she walked over to them.
“Come back to us soon. Love you.” Alex hugged her and gave her kiss on the head.
“I will, love you too.” She replied. He then walked over to Kyle.
“Please don’t cry ‘Ria.” Liz pleaded as she wiped away her best friend’s tears.
Maria apologized and then pulled the X5 into a tight hug.
“Maria, this isn’t goodbye. I’m going to be back, especially now you have these.” Liz took off her old dog tags from Manticore and placed the chain around Maria’s neck. “I want them back so don’t loose them. I love you girl.”
“I’ll never take them off. I love you Chica.” The girls embraced one last time before Liz walked over to her bike, put on her red tinted sunglasses and mounted her bike. As she revved the engine she saw Kyle following her actions, and with one last glance her family, she kicked off and the siblings started their journey towards Seattle – to rescue Max.

A/N: So do you like it? Should I continue? I know it’s really long, but if I continue I don’t think the next part will be all that long.
