| �Thanks for the ride home Alex� I say as I get out of the car � Hey do you guys want to come in� I ask as an after thought. After some hesitation both agree to come in but before I can even get my key in the keyhole the door is flung open and Max and Isabel come rushing out. �Where have you been?� �We been worried sick� �We thought that they had got you� were the only sentences leaving their mouths to make sense before I was pulled into a hug. �You know I kind of need to breath� I mange to say when I feel my self suffocating. �Where have you been?� Max asks more calmly then Isabel had at the start. �I was with Liz and Alex� I say and it is then they see Liz and Alex standing behind me not know what to do. �Liz how are you feeling now?� Max asks breaking the silence. Liz smiles before walking up to him and giving him a hug. �Thank you Max, thank you for saving my life� Max hugs her back awkwardly but a dreamy smile appears on his face. I knew I was right when I told Liz he had a crush on her but maybe it a bit more then a crush. I turn to say something to Alex but don�t bother when I catch him drooling over Isabel although Isabel doesn�t seem aware of the puddle of drool forming on our doorstep. �I think we should all talk� Isabel says leading the group into the family room where Michael is sitting on the couch surfing the television channels before stopping on some hockey game. �Loser� I say to him as I walk past him and throw myself into the recliner. �Freak� he shots back without even taking his eyes off the game. �God you two don�t even think of starting and Michael turn off the TV. We all need to talk� �So I guess you guys have questions to ask� Max asks Liz and Alex when Michael finally turns the TV off. �Yeah well� I mean if that is all right I was kinda wondering�well why or where...� �I think what she what she is trying to say is where are you from and why are you here?� Alex says cutting Liz�s babbling short, Liz nods weakly beside him and turns red with embarrassment. The questions they asked is the same on I have been asking myself for the last sixteen years. �We don�t know� I tell them not knowing what else to say. �Do you know if you are all the same�well species?� Liz the science geek asks. �Yeah we think so� Max answers �Wait I been thinking Max do you think Michael might be a different species to us?� I ask when a thought occurs to me. �What gave you that idea?� Max and Isabel voice together well Michael glares at me from his place on the settle. �Well it is the whole hair thing. I mean us three all have normal hair and Michael well Michael looks like he shoved his fingers into a socket� I state and the whole room burst into laughter well apart from Michael. �Hey there is nothing wrong with my hair and you call that normal� he says while pointing to my hair. �My hair is normal� I yell while covering it with my hands. �If you say so� �Max tell him� I order my brother. �Don�t bring me into this� Max backs away from. �God you always do this Max what type of brother are you? You are meant to protect me from guys like Michael and�� �Personally I think it Michael that need protecting� Alex says during my ranting. I turn and glare at him and he smiles sheepishly at me while the others laugh. I soon put a stop to that as I look around the room at every one apart from Michael who I can tell from out of the corner of my eye is smirking in my direction. �Are there any more questions?� I ask sounding like a kindergarten teacher. �What about your powers?� Liz asks. �Well we all have the power to manipulate molecular structures. I have the power to heal. Isabel can dream walk that means she can enter peoples� dreams. Maria can levitate objects and�� �Michael can blow things up� I cut Max off �That is not all I can do� Michael tries to defend his self. �Oh yeah I forgot then he swears after he blows what ever is unlucky enough to be near him. Does that sum it up for you Michael?� I ask with a fake sweet smile but before he can answer we hear the front door open. �Kids are you home?� my mom shouts. Well I guess she not my real mom her being human and everything but I love her and my dad like they were my real parents. �Mom we in here� Isabel calls back and our parents enter the room �Hi every one� my dad greets everyone when he see the room full of teenagers. �Hello Mr and Mrs Evans� Liz and Alex say together while Michael just grunts. �Please call us Philip and Diana. The whole Mr and Mrs Evans make me feel old� �Truth hurts does it mom� Max enquire raising an eyebrow my mom playful hits Max over the head. �That could be class as child abuse� Isabel points out and I watch Michael face fall at the words child abuse before he gets up. �I got things to do� he mutters before leaving. I wonder what is up with him. It not like Michael to leave like that most of the time he hangs around in till he has consume most of the food in the house. Talking of food. �Mom what is for dinner?� I ask trying to remember when was the last time I had eating. �Me and your dad have already eating so you kids can get take out because we have a big case coming up� �Do you guys want to stay?� Isabel turns to Alex and Liz. �No we better go. See you guys later� Liz stands up �Alex!� �Yeah right bye� Alex say when he is finally bought out of his trance. �So what take out should we get?� �Pizza� Max and me say together. �And try and see if they put the Tabasco sauce on before they cook it� I say on an after thought. Earth food taste so weird without it. TBC |
